This is perhaps best exemplified by the sheer number of fan theories online revolving around major film franchises, such as Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DC Extended Universe and so on.

The majority of these 8 fan theories have been doing the rounds for quite some time, but in recent years directors, actors and other production members have loosened their lips by acknowledging and accepting the validity of the theories.
