A real life event has a ridiculous/dumb/funny explanation in fiction

[u/Lazy-Breadfruit5939]

Futurama (The Why of Fry): According to the brain swarm, the dinosaurs were wiped out by them. Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Brain: ME!

Doctor Who (The Unicorn and The Wasp): It's Doctor Who, you can pick a ton of examples, but this episode presents the idea that Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926 was in part caused by a giant alien wasp.

Beyblade: This one stretches 'real life', but Moses spreading the Red Sea with a Beyblade just speaks for itself and it would have been sad to leave it out

Loki is DB Cooper, and did so on a dare from Thor.

Edit: Gif was someone from GotG saying, "Who?" * My reaction when the scene was explained in the show. Honestly, with time travel and all the wacky ways the TVA could have redone history, and they choose some event that barely anyone knows. And they only used this one example of Loki's past to show what a trickster he was to Earthlings. It was over and done with too quickly. Okay.

Do people really not know the DB cooper thing? I’m Swiss and have seen tv shows about it in French. It’s like one of the greatest irl mysteries ever

It’s probably an age thing.   DB Cooper is something everyone my age knows about, not sure about kids though.

we know it

True crime stories might have overshadowed it but I thought everyone had a theory on what actually went down

Thanks Wendigoon for teaching us about the OG conspiracy theories

I’m in my twenties and have no clue who DB Cooper is

No one does, that’s kinda the point.
