Theory of the Shadow [SPOILERS.]

[Zoridium JackL]

Wasn't another theory that it was just Daniel imagining he was finally free? Didn't someone even suggest an alternate version where the door slams shut just as he reaches it? That's a little cliche though

yeah, some ideas have gone around, but i think people are thnking way to hard to come up with an explaination for a problem that isn't there (usually the daniel surviving thing)

It's not about "thinking way too hard" more than it is people asking a question and coming up with their own answers. Saying that we're thinking too hard suggests we're putting way too much thought into something and making it a complete chore. Hey, maybe to you we are. But some of us enjoy thinking about these sort of things and in fact we're barely thinking when we come up with some of the answers we do.

It's called imagination, and some people do actually enjoy using it.
Although possibly not many on this forum, which is a shame. So much for sharing theories, I've been met with little more than trolls. ._.

i think you misunderstood, i probably should have said over complicating, it stands to reason that people are finding floors in the story that don't exist and then coming up with a complicated plot solution to fill up the holes that they have "found" in the story where none exist, for example, why doesn't the shadow kill daniel in that particular ending, so they come up with a theory such as "the shadow doesn't exist it's just his imagination" or a multitude of other reasons when the logical reason is that it was never after daniel in the first place, which it wasn't, but everyone assumed that it was,

in other words, the try to fix what isn't broken, i'm fine with that but it just seems a little too complicated, i prefer something that is simple, fits and explains everything nicely, which half these theories aren't.
