The Save The Earth Fandom Theories and Opinions Meme

Since we haven't touched on the Meta Fandom in a while I figured we could give this a shot.

You know how lots of fandoms like to make up all kinds of wild theories about the shows they watch and the various story arcs, especially the personal arcs of their favorite characters. They also have various thoughts and opinions about those characters that might influence those theories. Well, then, what do you think are the most common opinions the fanbase has about your characters? What are the most popular theories about them, their past lives and the possible future directions the story will take them? Post in the comments giving me your answer.

You're also free to comment on other people's posts to talk more about character relationship opinions and the like. Because shipping is the life blood of fandom, and there would much talk about that too.

Bonus points if you can think of anything about what the fandom thinks of the show and plot in general, though it's probably easier to just talk about our characters really. XD;

Lately, focus on the Thomas fans has moved from speculation to more shipping focus. This being mostly fueled by his situation with Pia and the dating episode with Hajime. Thomas' polite nature toward Cinderella and growing interactions with Lina not exactly helping change this new focus.

Most of the Bakura/Hajime shippers just hate him, viewing him as in the way and purposefully being a dick to Bakura to get in the way. Some just view him as a thirdwheel, this being mostly after him being helpful during the Dead District visit.

Those that are speculating, with the appearance of his car, the memories of it transforming, and the superhero action figure, have gone into overdrive. The most popular idea is to tie him into Hajime and Bakura, as a hero that exists in whatever monster world they're from. Most tend to just gloss over the tonal difference between his situation and theirs.

The Wild Mass Guessing page also hints at the fan belief that Thomas is actually a card from Hajime and Bakura's world, explaining away the differences that way. Bakura's actor, ever the troll, sometimes tweets hints of utterly made up things to rile fans up and feed fuel to random theories.

He also made sure a fan picture of him bro-hugging Thomas's actor got around to fuel the shipping fights as well.

Thomas' actor definitely didn't mind and has been doing his best to generate more shipping fuel in respects to Bakura, Hajime, Shou, and Enter. There is also talks that Thomas' actor and Hajime's actor are going to try and pull Bakura's into their on set prank war.

It doesn't help that Shou's actor has made some guest appearances in the on-going Karate Bugman series in which the writers had did some tongue-in-cheek play on the Japanese language that can be - if squinted at - refer to Save The Earth.
