Fan theories just keep getting darker. First, there was the theory that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was dead the entire time on the '90s sitcom.
And now, a new dark theory about Disney's Moana threatens to change how you view the beloved film forever.
After you're scarred for life from this, be sure to check out these other dark Disney fan theories!
Starring Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, the story goes against the grain of traditional Disney classics.
Instead of focusing on the princess finding true love with a prince, she finds true self-love with herself.
This new one that's recently gone viral threatens to change how you view the movie forever...
Ready for it? Diehard Moana fans, you may want to cover your eyes.
Yep. Dead.
This theory comes from the twisted mind of Reddit user, davemidrock.
His theory begins right at the beginning of Moana's journey when she asked the ocean for help.
He's the shapeshifting demigod voiced by Dwayne Johnson.
"What if there's a barrier between the normal human world and the magical otherworld, where are all the things from Polynesian mythology are?" writes the Reddit user.
Woah. Super dark, am I right?
But, this Reddit user does have some compelling evidence to back up his claims.
She only encounters Maui and monsters until Te Fiti brings her back to the island.
And, speaking of humans, she survives things that no human would be able to survive.
"The only time we see Moana get physically hurt is when she gets her foot stuck in the reef, which takes place BEFORE the storm, when she was still in her island (and alive)," the user writes.
However, they believe that this was probably just mental pain "since she just ran into a rock and her brain is telling her that should hurt."
This happens a lot in cartoons. How else could cartoon characters constantly get hurt and stay alive?
Also, consider Home Alone 2. THOSE BRICKS WOULD HAVE KILLED MARV.
During her adventure, Moana meets her grandma and ancestors as ghosts.
She also sees her grandma's spirit as a stingray before the storm.
Why, you ask? Well, because they are both dead.
This makes things pretty grim. Aren't Disney movies all about rainbows and sunshine?
"He must have also died in the storm and then been brought back to life by Te Fiti (at the end, Maui even points out, 'The chicken lives').
In this theory and the real ending, Moana became chief and wayfinder since she brought peace to the seas by restoring the lost heart.
Some even brought forth more evidence. For example, Reddit user Dewyn believed that Moana could have been a Demigod like Maui.
This would account for the fact that she couldn't get hurt.
We're going with that one since we can't bear to think of Hei Hei dying </3
What do you think of the fan theory that Moana was dead the whole time?
