03:00he's lying jet doesn't come up again until book three when our heroes question what happened to him
03:13fans concluded that jet succumbed to his wounds but this was kept vague to appease nickelodeon centers
03:18once the final season was released on dvd a commentary bubble confirmed for the record jet is dead
03:25this would be further canonized in the novel city of echoes which finally gave jet a proper tribute
03:30years in the making fans got it right even if the ember island players got it wrong did jet just
03:37die you know it was really unclear number 17 marcy wants to stay in amphibia amphibia

04:00marcy meanwhile is overjoyed to see ann upon reuniting although it appears marcy will be a
04:06valuable ally to our heroes a few fans sense that something was off considering how marcy has thrived in
04:12this new world some theorize that maybe she wouldn't want to leave not only did this turn out to be true
04:18but marcy intentionally got herself and her friends stranded in amphibia knowing full well
04:22what the calamity box was capable of look at how much fun we've had look at how much you both grown

04:51named hamato yoshi who got mutated alongside the turtles he took in as sons i lost many things
04:56my family my home my name
05:00but i gained many things as well like the four of you the show reveals that splinter's wife tang
05:08shin and young daughter miwa died years ago because of oro kusaki aka shredder the turtles later
05:14learned that shredder has a daughter named karai who's roughly the same age that miwa would have
05:18been more than a few fans were able to do the math but it wasn't until the season one finale that
05:24shredder confirmed the truth you took something from me so i took something from you your daughter
05:32he kidnapped splinter's daughter raising karai to hate her true father as the ultimate act of revenge
05:39number 15. vaggie is a fallen angel has been hotel even before making its amazon debut has been hotel
05:47had already gained a following thanks to the pilot released on youtube years earlier come on vaggie i
05:52know what to say i just feel like we need to i don't know make things sound more exciting
05:59oh what if i sing a song about it astute viewers detected that charlie's girlfriend vaggie had an
06:06x over one of her eyes likewise the angels who serve as exorcists wear masks with an eye xed out
06:13vaggie was theorized to be a fallen angel who left exorcism behind and started anew with charlie
06:18towards the end of the first season vaggie's backstory is unveiled she was indeed an exorcist
06:24but vaggie was stripped of her wings and an eye when she showed mercy to a resident of hell
06:40charlie took her in although unlike some redditors she didn't notice the resemblance between vaggie and
06:45the angels she once fought alongside number 14 korasami the legend of cora even early on most
06:52shippers agreed that cora and asami shared better chemistry than either ever had with mako while
06:57fans suspected that they were experiencing more than friendship few thought this would ever be
07:02canonized until the final episode want to sit with me for a minute i'm not ready to get back to
07:07the party just yet heading into the spirit world cora and asami hold hands while gazing into each other's
07:12eyes it's clear what the creators were trying to get across but without a kiss or declaration of love
07:17the ending still left much up to speculation the creators didn't waste much time addressing the
07:22theory confirming that cora and asami are together i've always wanted to see what the spirit world's
07:27like sounds perfect while it's too bad that the show couldn't go into greater detail korasami has
07:35blossomed as a couple in the comics number 13 twilight princess my little pony friendship is magic
07:40it's hinted at the top of season three that significant changes are on the horizon for twilight
07:45sparkle although it's unclear what exactly my sister she will succeed at her task and when she does
07:52we'll know that she is that much closer to being ready trust me little sister you wanted to see me
08:02that is unless you were a part of the mlp online community rumors suggested that twilight would receive
08:08a pair of wings to go with her horn becoming an alicorn she'd also be getting a crown receiving the
08:14title of princess the announcement of new merchandise only backed this theory up by the
08:18time the season finale came along the network didn't even try to hide what various fans had already
08:23figured out it was advertised as the my little pony princess coronation with twilight undergoing a
08:28transformation everyone seemed to be in on this conspiracy except for twilight you are an inspiration to us all
08:36twilight what do i do now is there a book about being a princess i should read there will be time for
08:48all of that later number 12 rose quartz is pink diamond steven universe although this would go down
08:54as one of the most game-changing and shocking twist in steven universe there are some fans who've earned
08:59bragging rights they caught what was right under our noses since season two when pink diamond's existence was
09:06first hinted at who are the diamonds anyway they seem like a big deal are you joking me the diamonds
09:12are the gem matriarchs together they make up the great diamond authority that governs homeworld and
09:17all the outlying colonies over time we discover that rose quartz shattered pink diamond in her pursuit
09:22of independence yet conspiracy theories pointed out the parallels between these two characters the
09:26most obvious being that both were pink in season five the suspicious steven takes a trip down memory
09:32lane learning that his mother and pink diamond are one in the same choosing to leave her diamond
09:37identity behind and fully dedicate herself to the crystal gems rose fake pink's demise with pearl's
09:42help convincing very much so my diamond soon it will be just rose number 11 maggie shot mr burns the simpsons
09:51throughout the summer of 1995 every simpsons fans was asking the same question who shot mr burns
10:02well i couldn't possibly solve this mystery can you everyone had a theory although almost none of them
10:10involved maggie pulling the trigger that said there was at least one who correctly predicted this twist
10:15according to bill oakley and josh weinstein who wrote this two-parter an anonymous poster shared
10:20this theory on a news group when part one aired the writers wanted to get in touch with this person
10:25but they were prohibited from doing so at the time due to a contest even after the contest they were
10:30unable to track down the poster who used a temporary college email while everybody knows that maggie shot
10:35mr burns the real mystery is who posted that theory officer arrest the baby yeah right pops no jury in the

11:32manipulated by an ancient demon who showed her how mother gotho abandoned her when she kidnapped rapunzel
11:43and she was able to do it at the end of the season 2 she roe disappeared during a battle with zarkon
11:47she roe is a clone voltron legendary defender revivals of beloved tv shows can be hit or miss

12:29successful begin stage two mention of the villain's mysterious project koran in relation to shiro was a
12:36major clue koran means clone in japanese the truth wasn't revealed however until season six hello keith

13:26longer than i'd have liked but no one ever said being a witch hunter was easy some eagled eyed and
13:32eared fans pieced this together by belos's actions and words such as his knowledge of where the entrance
13:37to the human realm was however there was still a lot to his backstory that fans couldn't have guessed
13:43why why go through all this i'll do anything to save humanity from evil number seven not our jerry rick and
13:51morty rick and morty is surrounded by countless fan theories some more outrageous than others way back
13:57in the season two episode morty night run rick dropped jerry off at jerry boree a daycare for jerry's
14:03while their ricks and mortys were out on missions i don't know how this works help me what the hell at
14:11the end we got a throwaway joke about two ricks maybe mixing up their jerry's whatever uh wait what all
14:18right come on jerry however many fans guessed this was not a throwaway joke at all it wasn't until the
14:24season six premieres seven years later that this was confirmed to be true as rick attempted to fix
14:29the portal gun problem from season five's fallout he caused everyone to be transported back to their
14:33original universe before jerry left he and the fans realized exactly what had happened how did i end up
14:39not in my own universe oh my god the jerry barree oh the jerry barree deep cut number six laser blast

14:53greatest hero while working at a hero supply shop owner of the shop mr gar gave up his superheroing
14:59days after one of his teammates went missing in action as it would be revealed later laser blast didn't
15:05actually disappear but was hiding under everyone's noses as the villain professor venomous not only
15:10that but the same season three episode revealed that laser blast was ko's father boy take a good look
15:21i am him many fans had guessed ko's parentage based on his mother dating laser blast before he
15:27disappeared as for the professor venomous twist design similarities led some fans to guess they were
15:33brothers while others took the extra step concluding they were the same person sorry ko i am your
15:41father no no no no number five leela's parentage futurama after accidentally freezing himself fry
15:52awakens in new york city a thousand years later one of the first people he meets is leela who tells
15:57fry that she's an orphan alien my parents abandoned me here as a baby and i don't even know what
16:02galaxy they were from however that's proven false in season four she's actually a mutant whose parent
16:08and many like them live in the sewers beneath the city so i'm not an alien i'm a mutant we never wanted
16:16you to know while this came as a surprise to many a few others caught on early the mutant society was
16:21introduced in season two and in the background of one scene you can spot two people who look remarkably
16:26like leela from then on they knew a big reveal must be coming there's also an even earlier subtler tease
16:33in the season one episode fear of a bot planet look one eye count them one not human the humans are
16:41hereby sentenced to live as robots live on earth number four the spear of celine ducktales the ducktales
16:47reboot has some great character revelations some of which were predicted by fans some viewers may have
16:53picked up on there being more to webby than being mrs beakley's granddaughter webby is scrooge's daughter
16:59bless me bagpipes however the biggest mystery the show chronicled early on was the spear of celine
17:06in a note left by the triplets missing mother della she apologized to scrooge for taking the spear
17:10while the kids assumed this clue referred to a literal spear they then found out that definitively
17:15wasn't the case not only that but it wasn't any kind of artifact maybe the spear isn't an artifact
17:22maybe it's something else your mom did love a good mystery one fan theory claimed the spear must be
17:27a ship and that della had gotten lost exploring space towards the end of the first season that was
17:33proven true the rocket and your mother were lost to the inky abyss of space number three garnet is a
17:40fusion steven universe in steven universe two gems can fuse together to become more powerful but throughout
17:47the first season that's shown to be a temporary and sometimes toxic occurrence additionally it seemed
17:52the less stable the relationship the more eyes and appendages you're just too much maybe you're just
17:59too little none of this stopped the spread of a popular garnet theory though fans believe garnet to be a
18:05permanent fusion pointing to her having two gems and three eyes as evidence enough so then how could she
18:11stay in this form for such a long period every other time the effort of fusing had been too much to
18:17keep up the answer came in the season one finale the fan theory was proven true as ruby and sapphire
18:24two gems in love refused back into garnet steven thank you garnet you're a fusion number two the
18:35mushroom war adventure time at first glance adventure time appears to take place in a silly fantasy land
18:41with no ties to reality in actuality it's the outcome of a nuclear fallout on earth a thousand years prior
18:47creator pendleton ward first came up with the post-apocalyptic spin during a season one episode
18:52that involved frozen businessmen i remember business from there hints of the past civilization
19:01were doled out albeit sparingly still some fans picked up on them and began theorizing not only
19:07about nuclear fallout but when it could have taken place as adventure time went on more about the
19:13history of the land of who was revealed right for bombs poised to bathe the land in mutagenic horror it
19:20was eventually confirmed that humanity had nuked the planet in a world-ending war with marceline and

20:05kinds of bizarre occurrences and creatures around the town let's see barf fairy yeah there was also
20:12grunko stan who dismissed the children's notion of strangeness but acted pretty bizarrely himself
