as one of the most successful animated films released within the last 15 years
many regard wall-e to be one of if not the best Pixar movie in the studio's
history despite being produced for children's audience the movie offers
deep insight on some controversial subject matters including corporatism
waste management and global catastrophic risk among the widespread critical
success was wall-e received a particular worthy mention was a critics lauding a
Pixar Animation Studios decision to keep dialogue at a minimum one critic went as
far as to say that the strategic absence of dialogue quote evoke the splendor of
the movie past others praised the movie's plot and its ability to raise so
many questions and issues which are pertinent in today's world that said
with such impressive and deep writing it's no shock that the movie has
inspired several sinister and dark theories and that's what we're exploring
today I am Brad with wicked binge and these are five dark theories about
wall-e that change everything
wall-e has a virus we're kicking off our countdown with a theory provided by
reddit user or Amara which states that wall-e somehow got
infected with a virus which causes every other robot who comes into contact with
them to become infected not exactly a
positive injury perspective on the film but hey it's definitely worth
considering the theory suggests that the reason wall-e has a personality is
because he has been infected with a computer virus and that Wally's
personality was born as a direct result of some malware which is affecting how
he was programmed to operate whether done intentionally or not wall-e
transmits the virus via a low power of wireless connection with a short range
the sad thing is that he doesn't even know that he's transmitting it poor
Wally according to the theory it makes
complete sense when you consider the fact that every robot which meets up
with wall-e starts experiencing some glitches with their installation time we
know we know what about Auto and security BOTS they didn't see the face
by wall-e pass security encryption and military-grade firewalls but can go past
civilian grade firewall defenses this theory paints a rather grim picture for
what should be a happy funny film the possibility that wall-e had some malware
which affected not only himself but also those with whom he interacted isn't
exactly roses and rainbows if you ask me what do you think plausible the robots
committed suicide we all know that wall-e at times is quite a pessimistic
film in and of itself something which is seen right from the
beginning I mean a movie which looks at a robot job to pick up the pieces after
humanity basically destroyed the earth isn't exactly the Care Bears is it just
when you thought the movie couldn't get any darker reddit user consequence 6
comes up with a unique twist on how the other robots died one which really puts
a damper on an already thought-provoking film it's obvious that there are loads
of dead robots in the movie after all wall-e uses their dead remains to repair
his treads
the question begs itself why did all the robots die
yes it's expected that over time that some will die out but those who remain
could simply repair themselves with the parts of the Fallen BOTS right that
would make sense given wall-e does just that there was no reason for them to
completely die out leaving poor wall-e all by himself
the theory suggests that the robots committed suicide
reason the bots grew tired of having the pickup after humans especially given the
disaster that we left in her awake after a while they said enough was enough
we're not gonna reach hard to deal with this mess quite a sad bleak theory which
may hold some weight to it it really makes humans look bad and it's so
relevant in today's world when you take into account ER oftentimes blatant
disregard of the environment I'm sure our forefathers would be proud to know
that 700 years later we'd be doing the exact same thing they were doing wall-e
is it the good guy and practically every theory you find be it interesting or
dark in theory wall-e is almost always portrayed as this angelic being was come
to restore earth to its once heavenly and paradise iock state there is however
quite a compelling Theory offered by a Reddit user
vex ileus which contradicts this portrayal conversely the theory brought
forward is the idea that wall-e might have more of a semblance to Satan
in the book of Genesis in the Bible than to Christ himself
this one's gonna be dense so you might want to brace yourselves in terms of the
parallel between religion and the film the representation of mankind and our
happiness is a clear indication that there is an absence of religion how so
you ask and while these universe there are no
wars there are no famines widespread controversies in hate not in space
anyway people live in peace and harmony with each other
why because they're provided for without question in many ways they are living in
paradise but also at the cost of having the truth hidden from them much like the
themes of Genesis however wall-e manages to convince the captain someone who had
long since forgotten earth to not only return to the planet but also to bring
all of mankind back with him the knowledge with wall-e provided to the
captain about Earth spurred a deep desire within him to return to the
planet a complete and utter wasteland bringing along with them the rest of
humanity to meet their doom of course now let's pause to bring this back to
Satan in the book of Genesis the serpent gave to Eve a fruit which was described
as quote the fruit of knowledge of good and evil metaphorically one can
interpret the knowledge which Wally gave to the captain as being the fruit of
knowledge which the serpent tempted Eve with in effect although the captain was
aware of Earth's existence just like Adam and Eve lost their innocence
through eating the fruit of knowledge so too was the captain's innocence stripped
away from him entirely wait that doesn't look like Earth leaving him exposed to
the evil and suffering of the world we can even corroborate elements of
religion in the film by the human races return to Earth a place where they are
now enslaved to working in order to sustain themselves
something which they didn't have to do before in Genesis there's a scripture
which states quote by the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until your
return to the ground Oh deep huh sorry we didn't mean to get biblical
with all this there are probably a lot of interesting references to religion
sprinkled throughout the film have you caught any others Wally is the last
remaining part of a hive mind an interesting theory that seemed to
originate from a crack article suggests that while he may actually be the last
Jerome that made up a centralized hive mind this mainly sim from the point that
there were clearly numerous other Wally robots that were destroyed same model
and everything and more importantly when while he introduced himself he simply
refers to himself by Wally no unit number so the theory suggests that Wally
is itself a centralized system that distributes itself to countless drones
this may explain why Wally is capable of utilizing part from fallen drones to
repair himself it's something the AI is instructing the bots to do in order to
keep project cleanup going Wally destroyed the earth in keeping
with the bleak and dark portrayal presented of Wally in the movie
reddit user mr. bananas has another interesting perspective on the robot
sent to clean up after Earth it's clear in the film that Earth underwent a
massive restoration project after the horrible way in which man treated the
planet however what if we told you that the reason the restoration project is
taking so long to complete is because Wally's unit started to malfunctioning
and didn't do its job properly well according to mr. bananas it might
be possible that a wall-e unit was sent to Earth which did a lot more harm than
good let's imagine that this unit didn't like to clean up rather it had a malware
issue which made it wants to keep the artifacts and garbage on the earth as a
memorabilia instead of compacting it like the others
did because the other units were destroying Wally's treasures he decided
to go ballistic and kill every single unit leaving him the only bot alive on
earth does that sound sketchy yeah definitely sketchy
but when you take into consideration that the fact that the movie shows so
many BOTS being be limbed by wall-e almost as if it were his favorite
pastime you begin to think maybe this theory is possible it could be highly
probable that the main reason there is still so much garbage on earth after 700
years of expected compacting is that there just isn't enough manpower to get
the job done because wall-e went jeffrey dahmer mode on his robotic colleagues he
does have a personality after all you could experience rage jealousy and anger
like everyone else does
undoubtedly many might feel that this theory is a stretch however there isn't
any evidence to disprove it nor does it seem improbable so why not give it a
second thought you might just begin to second-guess how
you view everyone's favorite little metal murderer or a adorable robot there
may never be any verdict on any of the theories we proposed but they're
certainly interesting to consider surely wall-e will go down as one of the most
thought-provoking films to ever grace the big screen and we're thankful that
it was made but what do you think do any of these theories hold wait do you have
