History WMG / ForrestGump

Maybe all the Franchise/XMen are descended from that same goose!

* Towards the not Forrest's son reasons, it could be true that Jenny was impregnated by lots of men but the only baby she kept/wanted was Forrest because hes the only guy she truly cared about.

[[WMG: Lt. Dan has a nephew who is the [[Series/{{CSINY}} head of the New York Crime Lab]]]]
They both have the last name Taylor (common as it is, it has to be shared by family members) and they look a whole lot alike. One was in the Army and one was in the Marines. (Someone *needs* to write this fanfic, with Dan visiting Mac)

Forrest didn't know his father, she slept with the principal to get him into public school, and Forrest said that they got money from folks passing by. There's also a theory that men are attracted to women who remind them of their mothers. Jenny was easy, and this could be why Forrest subconsciously was in love with Jenny.

* Forrest recollects that John was killed "while going to see his kid." So maybe he was just in New York, doing who-knows-what(hell, he could've been in New York meeting the other Beatles, as they were in talks at the time about a possible reunion tour or two) and was returning to his apartment when [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed some asshole]] gunned him down. John's death was referenced in the film. Even if it wasn't on schedule, it was before Forrest tells his story.

He's just a good storyteller. He inserted himself into historical events to impress people. Jenny treating him like dirt is part of his RevengeFic, even though he still loves her and wants to meet her.This explains how he tells the scenes he wasn't there for.

* Think about it. Here's a guy who won the medal of honor, international ping pong championship, cross-country runner, multi-millionaire, etc, etc, etc., more things than most normal people will do in their lives, yet no one on the bench that he talks to recognizes him (or really believes him)? Also, once we're in the present time, he doesn't do anything extraordinary anymore, nor does he do anything to show his vast wealth! As for the pictures that Jenny shows him in magazines and newspapers, I'm thinking his friends and family printed those things out to support his imagination, or whatever that is, because they see that it brings him a lot of happiness to talk about.

Who'd expect a mentally handicapped man to be a war hero, table tennis champion, millionare in the shrimp industry, and cross country runner?

* In the background of a scene in Forrest's childhood, there is a sign on his front porch saying "Gump House, Rooms to Rent". Does this mean she was land lady, used an UnusualEuphemism or both?

There was very little mentioned about Forrest's father, and Forrest's behaviour is... strange.

Nothing much to base this on, other than the fact that they both have reddish brown hair, [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold initially seem like hardasses]] especially to Forrest, and have a habit of talkin out of the sides of their mouths with a cigarette in their mouth.

Forrest never meets his father, and conveniently happens to rub elbows with some very influential people and unwittingly influence things like the start of the rock genre and Watergate. Mr. Gump Sr. (if that is indeed his real name) is [[TheChessmaster subtly puppet-mastering events from behind the scenes]] and using his son as a pawn.

They both have the last name Taylor (common as it is, it has to be shared by family members) and they look a whole lot alike. One was in the Army and one was in the Marines. (someone *needs* to write this fanfic, with Dan visiting Mac)

** I wonder if he thought that song needed [[Series/SaturdayNightLive More Cowbell]] when he hung out with BlueOysterCult? He may have helped them in his years running.

* See the related WMG in PoisonOakEpilepticTrees...

[[WMG: Dorothy Harris is a TimeLord.]]

* The good old boys in the barbershop must be TimeLords too, they don't age one bit.

[[WMG: Forrest met [[Film/ApocalypseNow Benjamin L. Willard]] during the war.]]

[[WMG: Forrest's platoon was interviewed by corresponder [[Film/FullMetalJacket James T. "Joker" Davis]].]]

[[WMG: Forrest met [[Comicbook/ThePunisher Frank Castle]] during the war.]]

[[WMG: Music/JohnLennon divorced YokoOno in this film's [[TheVerse universe]]]]

[[TheDaVinciCode When Forrest gets older]], he goes to Europe and ends up helping unravel daddy's AncientConspiracy.

Forrest would have been born right around the end of WorldWarII, and happened to be used as a test subject for a top-secret program to engineer super-soldiers. His mom didn't like to talk about his father because there really wasn't one. While the project had some unfortunate side-effects (spine deformity, mental issues), it did manage to produce a soldier with beyond-Olympic-level speed and stamina, obedient, quick, competent at mechanical tasks, and unswervingly loyal to his comrades-in arms, displaying valor above and beyond excellence in the face of heavy enemy (and friendly) fire, as evidenced by said subject being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

[[WMG: Forrest's dad died overseas during WorldWarII.]]
