Wouldn't hurt to hear them out.

That is a popular fan theory.

One of my favourite theories.

Smart people generally underestimate their own abilities. Because they want to understand all sides of a situation first. Their hesitation can come across as being slower than others. At least that’s what I heard.

Unfortunately, the creators said this to be false

One of the worst things a creator can do is shoot down fan theories. They generate discourse around their work and lets them leave it open to interpretation - like when that one BioWare dev shot down the ME3 indoctrination theory.

The guy that wrote My Life As A Teenage Robot did it classy. When trans people started reading into Jenny's experiences, he was quick to go, "I wasn't even thinking of that, but good for you, I like the idea!"

Honestly that has to be one of the highest compliments to a writer. Knowing a demographic you weren't necessarily considering during the writing could latch onto it in a impactful way.

The exceptions to this are the ones that are blatantly against what's shown in canon

For example, using Hazbin Hotel:

Alastor will not go against Charlie and the Hotel and become an antagonist

Bitches please, what part of Alastors's section of the finale told you he's going to stay on Charlie's side? He even used Disney Villain Green™!

Or, hear me out: Opinions are nice, but facts are facts, and as an artist, they wanted to create something specific, send a specific message.

"The dude who knows best ruined our idiocy" really isn't a strong argument. You can theorize about other stuff (in universe), too.

Theories always have the goal to uncover the truth.

If you choose to theorize despite knowing that it's wrong, that's just idiocy.

This doesn't apply. Thank you for proving my point (regarding idiocy).

Of course it's stupid to argue WHAT the inventor might have meant. You will never truly know.

It's something COMPLETELY different when the author is alive and tells you that you're stupid and that it's not what he meant. There is no room for interpretation here. The author fucking told you.

In case of the latter, you are choosing to induldge in human ignorance, disregarding the truth and choosing to make up your own.

That's the problem with you people. You can have opinions, but you can't expect every opinion to be valid. Not when you close your eyes in front of facts. Opinions are not truths. At least not all and not neccessarily.

Ultimate Spider-Man did not occur in one year. I don’t care what the author said.

Peter Parker did not do all of that shit plus ultimatum in one year. Even if that was everything he did and nothing happened off panel. So much shit happened in that book

I would try to understand what you meant with that, but you're a marvel fan, so it would actually be impossible to find anything rational in your thoughts

Also, "I don't care" means simply that - you choosing ignorance and stupidity. Kinda pathetic

u/Dudewhocares3 1d ago

You know,I didn’t insult you, so no fucking idea why you insulted me.

Genuinely hope you become a better person in the future. This version of you sucks more than a vacuum cleaner as a pornstar.

like when that one BioWare dev shot down the ME3 indoctrination theory.

In fairness, that was a particularly dumb theory.

This is a fan theory? I always thought Pinky was the genius?
