Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} == Murdoc has demon blood. == Has already been suggested by at least one fanfic (see [[Gorillaz ~~(Music)~~/Fanfic Recs\|the fic recs]]). We don't know whether it's from his mother's or father's side but, since we know very little about his mother, this could go some way towards explaining where he came from. Also, normal people, even within the cartoon [[Canon]], don't have green skin. * Murdoc has repeatedly said that the green skin was from tanning. * And Murdoc is infamously an [[Unreliable Narrator]]. * Murdoc may not necessarily ''know'' if he has demon blood. He probably has enough contacts in both the living world and the underworld to find out about his parentage, but he may simply not care enough to bother. If he does know, then he's likely not telling. * He's been practically living on rum for several months and is still alive. ("[[Dan and ~~Mabs~~Mab's Furry Adventures\|You mean it's NOT full of vitamins and nutrients?]]") Okay, presumably he's been eating food as well, but [[Immune to Drugs\|most people would be dead of alcohol poisoning by now]]. * This troper has a theory that [[Legacy of Kain\|Kain]] is Murdoc's grandfather. It would explain a lot, as both have green-ish skin and [[Magnificent Bastard]] overtones. ** But these two characters do not exist in the same continuity or time period, and ''Legacy of Kain'' doesn't even take place on earth. Line 26: He has extensive knowledge of music and, if pressed, probably knows quite a bit about headache pills and machinery. I'd like to put forth the theory that 2D is [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] and doing a very good job of it. * It's possible. He'd said quite philosophical, deep stuff on several occasions. {{quote\| '''2D on the ''Demon Days'' track''': "You remember when you were a little kid and you would look at the clouds in the sky as the sunlight bounced off them. And something that simple would make you feel a part of everything and all alone at the same time. And that feeling's got something you can never put into words so you spend your whole life chasing it; making Carols, taking pictures, painting... whatever, in the hope that other people will understand that sense or... feeling. As creative entities we look for signs of life outside ourselves, for a connection to... alleviate the sense of solitude. That's why we all do what we do, whether we know of it ourselves or not."}} ** He's also had a couple of moments of wit. Murdoc once described himself as being "a genie unleashed" when working on the first album, and 2D's response was "There's a difference between being a genie and just being trapped in a bottle." * During the iTunes sessions, 2D goes into a complete [[Deadpan Snarker]] mode. == Murdoc's mother is [[Salad Fingers]] == Line 40: == The music video for the song DARE is Murdoc's wet dream. == The majority of the video involves Noodle dancing around and then, just before the end, Murdoc waking up in bed with another man. This could be symbolic of repressed desires--in this case, pedophilia and homosexuality. Then there's the fact that the lyrics could be interpreted as lyrics about masturbation. Finally, at the end of the video, Murdoc wakes up sweaty and frightened, or confused at what's just happened. Line 46: Russel's band profile was just recently updated with a letter containing the phrase that {{spoiler\|returns Noodle's memories to her after she, or someone else, used the codewords to erase them.}} It also mentioned that he's still been {{spoiler\|chased by demons}} all this time, so he could have heard something about what happened to her in Hell from them, to know if it's needed. If {{spoiler\|her memory ''was'' wiped, either of her own will or because the devil knew the code}}, Satan gone on to muck around with her brain however he wants to, and sent her on her way. What would his aim be? Well, Murdoc ''has'' freely admitted on many occasions that he's managed to duck out of paying up on his end of his [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]], and Noodle's just about the only person that he'd head straight for with his guard dropped when he heard she was around, ''so''... == Murdoc's red eye back in Phases 1 and 2 had something to do with his [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]. == Some fans have brought up the idea that the red eye was a symbol of the contract with the devil. The fact that it now appears to be gone may have worrying implications. Other theories about the eye include: Line 85: == Noodle's hairdo is inspired by 2D and Murdoc's == When I first saw phase 2 Noodle this immediately struck me - when she grew her hair out it turned out to look like a halfway point between Murdoc and 2D's, with jagged spikes and a thick fringe. Influence from two important figures in her life? Coincidence? Deliberate artisitc choice? Either way! == Murdoc really did kill Dennis Hopper. == Line 98: == 2D is a masochist. == * Or he could just be [~~http~~[wikipedia:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_abuse~~Psychological abuse\|psychologically]] [~~http~~[wikipedia:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_abuse~~Verbal abuse\|battered.] ] In addition to this theory...
