Round 1
VisualVinceAGAINST
I get that fan theories can be fun and creative. But I think they take away from the movie itself, because the official story is what the creators actually worked hard to tell. When everyone obsesses over their own version, the real narrative just gets buried.
Fan theories are what keeps the audience intrigued for the next movie. It keeps the audience entertained for a possible long wait for the actual reveal. It’s not harmful whatsoever because Youll end up seeing what truly happens anyways. It makes the movie more popular and intriguing.
Round 2
VisualVinceAGAINST
Take something like The Last Jedi, where fan theories got so huge that people were more upset their guesses were wrong than judging the actual movie. I guess you make a fair point about keeping interest alive, but to me the real story still gets lost in all that noise.
But when the movie producers leave a cliff hanger, they want fans to make theories so they get excited and dont get bored of waiting. It also attracts more attention to the movie itself to see what really happens in the next one that hasn’t been aired yet.
Round 3
VisualVinceAGAINST
Like when everyone was sure a certain actor would show up in a Marvel movie, and then the actual story had a different twist. You do make a good point about hype, but I still think the real movie gets judged by theories instead of what’s on screen.
The in between waiting for the next movie from the first one is where fans might start to get bored waiting. Creating theories of what might happen while waiting keeps the audience motivated to watch the next one, and once those theories are debunked in the second movie, people will move on.
Round 4
VisualVinceAGAINST
But isn't the official reveal what actually matters in the end? I see your point about keeping fans excited during the wait, that's totally fair. Still, I just feel like all that guessing makes us value our own ideas more than what the creators actually put on screen.
I can see where you’re coming from, but i see the movie being judged on what actually happens. Any rumors that have sparked are usually debunked once the second movie comes out, as theyre proven wrong or right. It grows the following of the movie itself.
