Line 46:
* This alternative explanation is imagined such that it cannot be proved or disproved based on what Haruhi Suzumiya knows.
To sum up,
* Haruhi Suzumiya is not God, a Reality Warper, or anything even remotely supernatural. She's a hyperactive teenager with a barely-suppressed [[God Complex]], creating an elaborate fantasy world around [[What Do You Mean
* Who's really narrating?
** The result is that normal girl Haruhi is digging really really deep for some explanation for why the gang of five hangs out with her for more than five minutes. She is of course ignoring the most obvious explanations which are either that the four of them are insane or she's only imagining them.
Line 101:
[[WMG: In the previous iteration of the universe, [[http://everything2.com/e2node/The<!-- 2520world2520was%2520designed%2520for%2520giant%2520squid octopi were the dominant species]]...]] -->

== The whole universe the series is set in is one big experimental scenario run by a wacky [[King of All Cosmos]] ==
Said [[King of All Cosmos]] is the creator of [[The Multiverse]] and, bored with watching all of the other 'verses whose inhabitants are bound within whatever scientific laws hold true in their local universe, creates one (or possibly more) where several of its inhabitants are capable of [[Reality Warper|manipulating its laws]] just to see what would happen. To tie in with an earlier WMG, Tsuruya is the avatar of the aforementioned [[King of All Cosmos]] who is watching everything unfold with great amusement.
== The entire series is an ''Adventures of Mikuru Asahina'' [[Self
The author, American 7th-grader Harriet Sussmeyer, ships Itsuki with the canonically minor character Kyon (yet fails to come up with an actual name for him), refuses to believe Yuki is the villain, and has a Deviant Art account full of drawings of Mikuru in random costumes. Naturally, she's much better acquainted with the conventions of anime than with those of [[Useful Notes/Japanese Culture|actual Japanese society]], on which she [[Did Not Do the Research]].
Line 116:
* I find it difficult to refute this argument. Frankly, I'd rather have the local equivalent of God knowingly giving out [[Psychic Powers]] and bringing in the occasional alien invasion than accidentally ''unmaking the entire universe with a temper tantrum''.
* I agree. Consider that Haruhi is aware that [[Good Feels Good]], demonstrably prefers a nice day hanging out with her friends to actually finding the supernatural stuff she claims to be hunting for, and can be relied upon not to wish people dead even when it would otherwise serve her desires perfectly. Most tellingly of all, Kyon would rather tell Haruhi everything than let Yuki be deleted. Either he has the worst case of [[Always Save the Girl]] in history, or he -- the person who knows Haruhi best -- doesn't really expect the results of her finding out to be that bad.
* This makes perfect sense. Haruhi might be fuckle and egotistical, which may be considered good reasons to keep her godhood a secret, but she's never been actively malicious. She would almost certainly avoid intentionally harming anyone, though you could not absolutely guarantee the safety of anyone caught up in her games. So, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice job jeopardising the Universe, S.O.S. Brigade!]]
== The Integrated Data Entity evolved from the different operating systems of our universe and manifested in the universe where the series is set. ==
Line 153:
Think about it from the point of view of Haruhi's subconscious. She/it just wants to remake to world, so it will be ''better'', but the espers are attacking and killing the beings who are remaking the universe for her, and obstructing progress. Her first opinion of the closed space giants is that they are cool, not that they are malevolent. This is further strengthened by Kyon's uncannily accurate narration at the beginning of the animated series: He keeps saying that he always believed in time travellers, aliens, espers, and evil organizations. The only recurring organization (aside from the Anti-SOS Brigade, as far as it can be called an organization) is Itsuko's mysterious and rarely explained Agency. (The first chapter of the Haruki Suzumiya project also has Kyonko wishing in the opening narration that she could "engage in psychic duels with evil espers".)
* Itsuki's gonna be the black sheep of this WMG. There's always one.
** Itsuki and the other espers probably don't even know they're supposed to be the antagonists; with a sort-of [[Villain Protagonist]] [[Well
Line 249:
Yes, yes. Nagaru Tanigawa is just like [[Tite Kubo]].
* Positing an alternate theory, fun times abound: Nagaru Tanigawa actually [[Creator Backlash|hates the series]] but is trapped writing it, much like Anno was with Evangelion and Toriyama was with most of Dragonball Z. Originally, Tanigawa planned Haruhi as a one light novel story: think about it, this explains why everything is wrapped up so nicely, and the ending is left nice and ambiguous so that each reader can come up with their own conclusions. However, after giving the rights to Kadokawa, the popularity of the series exploded, and Tanigawa was left forced to keep milking the cash cow. [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]] is a [[Franchise Zombie]]. Now, this is where things get interesting: all those points of contention in the story and the anime: fully intentional. Tanigawa tried the best he could after learning he had to make more to sabotage the series by adding nonsensical elements like screwing up the order, giving Haruhi [[Out of Focus|less and less screentime]], dancing around the question of [[Will They or Won't They?|Kyon and Haruhi's relationship]], shortening the length of the novels, and lately, putting two alternate versions of events in one novel. However, despite his best efforts, [[Misaimed Fandom|the fans ate it up]], and the series became more popular than ever. This is why the 10th novel has still not come out over 2 years after it's slated release date, because it IS supposed to be the final, but Kadokawa will not allow the cash cow to die, so Tanigawa is left languishing over a series that he never intended to be his magnum opus, and that he doesn't even care for that much.
** So its persistence is a result of [[Executive Meddling]]. [[Kyoto Animation]] saw that this show was practically an open surgery and ripped it apart to create a confused fanbase that would embarrass the above authors. I still refuse to believe that the spinoff series are official products, but if they are, then all the better for this theory.
*** Seven of the novels were published before the anime came about, before it was this apparent cash cow.
Line 257:
== There is no coherent meaning in Haruhi whatsoever. The real reason why there are possible infinite Wild Mass Guesses about [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]] is because of its heavily archetypal memetic nature ==
It's also noticable in Wall-E's own WMG page, with it having a WMG dart board rivaling Haruhi Suzumiya's own WMG dart board because of its archetypal "Noah's Ark" structure, and ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'''s own WMG page, because of Evangelion taking Character Archetypes for [[Deconstruction]] and [[Mind Screw]]. There is the possibility that the infinite WMG dart board is the result of its memetic construction: Let's see, a [[Five
