Line 148:
** This one wasn't so out-there. The look on Tuon's face was just too telling. It's also in-character for Mat for something like the above to happen. Reference {{spoiler|The Finn, his discovery of the ladies in the Stone of Tear, and his discovery of Birgitte's identity}}
* Everyone probably saw this coming, but [[Inheritance Cycle|Eragon]]'s father isn't who Paolini made you think he was. {{spoiler|He's Brom}}. Though this was more a failed attempt at an Author's Saving Throw to stop the comparisons to [[Star Wars]] in story. It ended up making people ''more'' likely to compare the two since now the farmboy has found out that his father {{spoiler|is secretly a man who once was a member of the wizard-knights who was no longer a wizard-knight after a great tragedy a long time ago that left his beloved female companion dead.}}
* [[Sandy Mitchell]]'s ''[[Warhammer
** Although there was a [http://www.blackmoor.ca/gwimpfcommissar1.htm limited edition female Commissar model] released back in 1998.
* ''[[Warrior Cats]]'': {{spoiler|Leafpool and Crowfeather being the Three's real parents}}.
Line 247:
** Keep in mind, he's probably doesn't even remember regular humans have round ears, the curse has been around since he was a little kid, after all.
* Several ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' fans theorized that Noob Saibot was the elder Sub-Zero (the one who starred in ''Mythologies'' and was killed at the end of the first game) long before it was confirmed to be fact in ''Deception''.
** ''Deception'''s Konquest mode established the fact that [[Blind Weaponmaster|Ke]][[Disability Superpower|ns]][[Handicapped Badass|hi]] from ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance|Deadly Alliance]]'' [[Missed the Call|had been trying to enter]] [[Mortal Kombat (video game)|the first game's tournament]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|to enact revenge upon Shang Tsung]]. Putting two and two together, many a fan felt that Kenshi (himself one of the few [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]s ''not'' from the first three games) would have a good chance of being included in [[Mortal Kombat 9|the 2011 game]]. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|They were]] [[Downloadable Content|(mostly)]] [http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np7/mk9-dlc.jpg right.]
** Similarly, [[Word of God|Ed Boon]]'s [http://twitter.com/#!/NOOBDE Twitter] update on September 10, 2011 contained [http://twitpic.com/2n1by5 a picture] of a single leg, clearly belonging to a female character. Many guessed either a redesign for Sindel or (judging from the symbol on the loincloth) Sareena (an [[Implied Love Interest]] of both Sub-Zeroes and an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]/[[Ascended Extra]] from ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero|Mythologies]]''). Others guessed that was it Skarlet, a rumored character from ''[[Mortal Kombat 2|2]]'' believed to be encountered when selecting between the blue Kitana and the purple/pink Mileena. The latter school of thought was ultimately correct, with a character known as Skarlet (originally known as "The [[Lady in Red]]") making her debut in ''9'' as DLC. The fact that [[Word of God|Shaun Himmerick]] mentioned in an interview that "hidden characters that didn't exist, we're gonna make sure they exist now" makes the notion of this being an [[Ascended Glitch]] very plausible.
** In ''[[Mortal Kombat 4|Gold]]'', the [[McNinja|Lin Kuei]]-turned cyborg Cyrax [[Suddenly Ethnicity|was revealed to be]] [[Ambiguously Brown|dark-skinned]] in his ending despite his clan being based in China. Cue the fan theory that the Lin Kuei kidnaps and enlists members into their ranks. Again, ''9'' lends credibility to this; Cyrax's bio states that he's Motswana and was recruited to join the Lin Kuei, while Smoke hails from Prague (as in, the Czech Republic).
