10 Video Game Fan Theories That Change EVERYTHING

10. Trevor Was The Target - Grand Theft Auto V 

Grand Theft Auto V begins with a prologue mission that everyone who has played through the game is familiar with by now. Michael, Trevor (simply named 'M' and 'T' during the level) and their colleague Brad hold up a cash storage facility in North Yankton, and are then ambushed by the police.

As well as being the opening guide to the game's basic mechanics such as movement and shooting, the prologue proves to be the cornerstone of everything that goes on to happen to Michael and Trevor.

During the course of the prologue in North Yankton, things begin to go awry for the crew and Brad ends up being killed by a sniper shot. It's later revealed that Michael had brokered a deal between himself and the authorities that involved selling out his crew in exchange for a life in witness protection, and that Brad had gotten in the way.

However, one theory suggests that it wasn't Brad who was supposed to die during the deal at all but Trevor. The main evidence for this is a scene during the prologue where Brad steps in front of Trevor right before the fatal shot is fired, and then later on during the game where Trevor is routinely described by feds such as Agent Norton as a 'loose end'.

Given how influential this one moment proves to become, the whole GTA V universe could have changed completely had Brad not stepped across at that last second.
