10 GTA Fan Theories That CHANGE EVERYTHING

look these are all gonna be pretty stupid and you can poke a lot of holes through them they're still pretty fun to talk about so we're bringing up ten grand theft auto fan theories that could possibly change everything starting off at number 10 we have the concept that all of rockstar games as other titles exist in grand theft auto's universe as different types of media there's not really a lot of weight or thought to this idea it's more of just a fun what-if scenario think of it this way Red Dead Redemption is a book Max Payne is a movie LA noire is a TV show and Rockstar table tennis is a live sports broadcast this is all just really based off of a read dead book that appears in one of the Grand Theft Auto games we'll talk about that more later but I think this is one of the better ways to connect the Rockstar Games quote-unquote universe by making it not all actually connected but still managing to exist within one another you know does that make sense none of it really does but let's talk about number nine here's a theory that I think is definitely kind of reaching but it's the concept that the main characters of Grand Theft Auto 5 are all descendants of John Marston quite a few people have brought this up all basing it around the theory of John Marston special ability called Deadeye that allows him to slow down time go into bullet time mode and shoot up bad guys if you think about it all the main characters in Grand Theft Auto 5 all have their own special ability that's basically a variation on Deadeye Franklin can go into slow motion while driving Michael can slow down time while shooting and then Trevor goes into that superpower mode where he can take less damage and give out more that one doesn't really fit that much but whatever we're trying to go even deeper Reddit user Irish America theorized that in Red Dead Redemption John Marston has three different and conflicting personality types number one he's a family man which is very much like Michael and Grand Theft Auto five number two he wants a better life and he'll do what it takes to do that similar to Franklin and then of course he's just a badass criminal cowboy and that's more like Trevor so yeah of course this is definitely a reaching theory and there's really no connection of a bloodline of any sort if anything I'd really think Max Payne would be related to John Marston because he has the straight-up normal Deadeye ability but Max Payne had it first I don't know nothing really matters and nothing really makes sense but it's fun to theorize and at number eight we have the idea that your Grand Theft Auto online character actually dies before the main game he's basically like a prequel character people have tried to come up with explanations on why your Grand Theft Auto online character gets involved with main characters Lamarr Lester and even Trevor but that never actually get explained it all in the main story any actions are cutscenes in the main game with those characters when they're ever in a situation where they could recommend somebody they say they don't know anyone Lester says he doesn't have any contacts although he knew the Grand Theft Auto online protagonist Trevor said that only him and Ron worked for his enterprise and he never mentions the online protagonist and neither does Lamar he says his only friends are Franklin and stretch so why would they not bring up the online protagonist if they directly dealt with him multiple times the only thing that really explains it other than the fact that just it doesn't matter and it's not canon is the idea that the grand theft auto online protagonists somehow bites the bullet if he's dead it makes sense that none of the main characters would bring him up in the main story and at number 7 let's talk about probably the coolest Easter Egg that's also led to a lot of speculation in grand theft auto 5 you know the big fancy house and Vinewood Hills that Franklin gets well if you go into the living room there's a shelf with a bunch of books and there's a blue book that says read dead by J Marston skip ahead a little bit if you want to avoid spoilers for Red Dead Redemption but at the end of Red Dead Redemption John Marston is gunned down and his son Jack Marston grows up to avenge his death the thing that people have been theorizing here is that John did find himself some Redemption because he was able to get out of that hard living Western life people believe that after he kills Ross he goes off leaves the West and becomes a writer this is essentially his version of redemption escaping that rough life and basically chronicling the journey of his dad in a book called Red Dead which now exists on Franklin's bookshelf I don't know I like this one because it's a fun theory of a character getting resolution that definitely deserved it and at number 6 if you thought some of the theories on this video we're reaching and really out there and crazy you haven't heard this one yet there is an idea that grand theft auto is set in a dystopian we're the 1933 business plot succeeded the business plot for those who don't know was a political conspiracy in 1933 where a bunch of bankers and a fascist veterans organization teamed up and planned to overthrow the President Franklin D Roosevelt this was kind of just the conspiracy and a big hoax at the time and it was never really proven to actually be a thing the idea of this connecting to grand theft auto is basically that if the business plot succeeded a dictator came into power and a massive distribution of wealth was completely changed on its head and basically that leads to the alternate reality grand theft auto world where consumerism is pushed even hard people will do whatever it takes to get ahead and resort to crime even more often than not and corporations were completely onion eyes and deregulated and there's massive monopolies and corporations and crime and products that kill their customers and stuff like that and honestly if you're smart enough to know what the 1933 business plot is because I didn't before making this video I feel like you might be smart enough to also have better things to do than just post weird Grand Theft Auto theories on reddit but hey that's just me and at number five we have this pretty solid and widely accepted theory for those of you don't know all grand theft auto cities are surrounded by water they're all almost like their own little microcosm self-existing Islands now while I myself and many other people will just say oh that's game design they didn't want to put up invisible walls so they built the entire game environment to exist on its own Island that way there's never any breakdown of immersion with an invisible wall popping up or you seeing an area that you can't go to that makes sense right yeah of course but let's make up some weird theory for it which this one actually seems kind of plausible the idea behind this is the theory that Rockstar Games put all these grand theft auto cities on Islands on their own to represent Americans close-mindedness I don't know if you guys know but most Grand Theft Auto games are much smarter than they really come off and they're all really parodies and farces on American culture in different time periods the Grand Theft Auto games really exist to examine and make fun of all different aspects of American culture and by putting all the game worlds on lonely islands it represents Americans close-mindedness and America centric thinking maybe rocks are just really thinks that Americans don't care about anyone else in the outside world whether or not you think that's right is up to you but I think it's a funny theory and at number four we have a similar idea from one we discussed earlier and this one is that all the Grand Theft Auto games themselves are Hollywood film this is just a good explanation for why everything in the game is so wacky you know other than the fact that it's a video game level of diversity and amount of exotic cars that frequently pop up makes no sense other than the fact that it's a movie set and there's gonna be a lot of Lamborghinis so that it looks nice and flashing the fact that you can find a grenade launcher in an alleyway or a machine gun on a rooftop makes it seem very unrealistic and weapons are strategically placed in a place to be cinematic and fun and create chaos if there weren't random weapons everywhere it wouldn't be exciting this is why it's like a movie it's also worth noting that protagonists and grand theft auto games are never normal average Joe people they're always larger-than-life personalities with weird crazy goals and they also do a bunch of crazy things like steal helicopters jump off of jets drive cars off of bridges and shoot basically what this theory is trying to explain is that everything is exciting in the grand theft auto universe at all times because it's just simply a movie and you can tell it to developers that rockstar games are obsessed with movies there's tons of references to movies in all of their games so it is kind of fun to imagine that Grand Theft Auto itself is just a giant movie within a video game and at number three since we are talking about rockstar games themselves let's talk about a weird conspiracy theory that they put in the games themselves in Grand Theft Auto 5 it really seemed like Rockstar had gotten around to reading all these crazy ridiculous theories about all their games so up on Mount chiliad they placed a giant alien carving that is intentionally super cryptic and mysterious which ultimately doesn't really seem to mean anything people have went crazy trying to come up with theories and make connections of what any of this means and probably only Rockstar will know but it really just seems to amount to [ __ ] all nothing and honestly I think rockstars having a laugh at us it makes sense for a fan to come up with the biggest fan theory and a grand theft auto game it would be rock stars themselves and at number two here's one that I really like I think is totally crazy there's an idea out there that Rockstar Games is using players data from Grand Theft Auto 5 to make decisions on how they're gonna create the next Grand Theft Auto the idea behind this theory is that players get to choose three different characters Franklin Trevor or Michael they also play these characters in a variety of different ways this little theory suggests that when you connect to Grand Theft Auto online Rockstar is taking your data from single player of how you're playing and how you played and completed the single player and basically how you conducted yourself this theory suggests that now they're gonna take all this data in a server and basically come up with an ideal game for grand theft auto 6 analyzing everything from how many people you killed is Franklin how many civilians you ran over is Michael what choices you actually made in the main game whether or not you finish the main game what kind of side quests you did everything the idea is basically that Grand Theft Auto 5 was an experiment by Rockstar to basically craft their perfect game that game is apparently going to be Grand Theft Auto 6 or whatever I don't know it's nice to really think that but I don't think it works like that in a legal sense and in a game development sense and at number one the most widely accepted and believable theory is the idea that the three main Grand Theft Auto 5 characters represent three different generations of Grand Theft Auto games let's break it down first there's Trevor he's absolutely crazy he's a maniac and he represents the original top-down grand theft auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2 games or not the original grand theft auto games emphasized frenzies and killings more than the newer more story based grand theft auto games franklin specifically represents grand theft auto 3 vice city and san andreas with the idea that he's a person coming from nothing who wants more and works his way up to the top franklin resembles a lot claude the main character from grand theft auto 3 eventually becoming one of the top criminals of liberty city tommy vercetti from vice city basically becoming scarface and CJ from san andreas coming from the hood to basically owning the entire state now Michael de Santa from grand theft auto 5 is the embodiment of the new grand theft auto games most specifically grand theft auto 4 and 5 these are games focusing surprisingly on a ton of story and really emphasizing the characters motivations their feelings what they're doing and just a lot of story stuff that is definitely Nico from Grand Theft Auto 4 and all the Grand Theft Auto 5 characters now of course this is another theory that is definitely reaching but a lot of people have embraced it personally myself I just think that the grand theft auto 5 characters all just represent different playstyles of characters but it's fun to think that their representations are even deeper than that guys those are some of our favorite and craziest grand theft auto fan theories and we know there are probably a ton more out there so we want to hear yours down in the comments if you got any crazy far-flung theories about any grand theft auto game or the series in general I definitely want to hear
