1The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight: Why no one died at Bruce's fundraiser. In the interrogation scene, the Joker says, "For a minute there, I thought you were Harvey Dent," referencing Batman's actions at Bruce's fundraiser. First, when the Joker arrived at Bruce's fundraiser for Harvey Dent, the Joker wasn't randomly killing people, he had a plan, and part of what made his plans horrifying was his ability to tell the police exactly who he was going to kill and then kill them. Killing random bystanders doesn't accomplish that. When the Batman (who the Joker thinks is Harvey Dent) jumps out the window to rescue Rachel, the Joker expects them to be the same person, so there's no reason to keep looking for Harvey Dent at the party. Later, when Harvey Dent is being transported by police, the Joker uses an escalating series of weapons against the convoy but doesn't use the rocket launcher on the paddywagon containing Harvey Dent. The only weapons he uses are ones that can't penetrate the paddywagon's armor, and he gradually escalates to make the threat to Harvey Dent seem real. He does this to discover if they really are the same person: If the Batman shows up, Harvey Dent isn't Batman. If the Batman doesn't arrive, Harvey Dent is Batman. The Joker never wanted to kill Batman (he says as much in the interrogation scene, "I don't, I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! No. You... you... complete me."), he wanted to force Batman to break his "one rule." A dead Batman cannot be corrupted, so as long as Harvey Dent might be Batman, Dent must not be killed.
2The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Will actually died in the fight on the basketball court in West Philly. The taxi driver is actually God, who drives a "rare" cab. He takes Will to heaven, where he works out all his issues with his wealthy Aunt and Uncle. Will only sees his mother and father on special occasions, because that's when they come to visit his grave.
3Peter Pan
Peter Pan: He was an angel that held kid's hand when on their way to heaven (Neverland). That's why they never grew up. All those kids were dead.
4Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: Willy Wonka knew those children would die in his factory. After Augustus gets sucked up the shoot, they all hop on board the boat through the tunnel of doom. The boat doesn't have two extra vacant seats though. It was designed with the prior knowledge that they would lose two participants before that point. Later they drive a cream spewing car with only four seats. Did they have another car waiting in the garage in case the others made it? Of course not. Willy Wonka uses children to make candy.
5Pinky and The Brain
Pinky and The Brain: The title of the cartoon reads Pinky and The Brain, One is a genius; the other's insane. Brain constantly plans to take over the world, suggesting he is insane. Pinky often finds ways to ruin these plans, who is the genius?
6Garfield
Garfield: He is actually dying of starvation, and just imagining Jon and Odie. There was a reference to this in a Halloween themed comic. Garfield woke up in a condemned and abandoned house. He calls out for Odie and Jon, but there is no answer. He then wills the illusion back on himself and continues his delusions about his 'family'.
7Seven Horcrux
Harry Potter: J.K. Rowling created seven Horcruxes. She put a part of her soul in every book and now her books will live forever. This was really sweet until i thought about the fact that if that were true she would have would have to kill at least a person to create each one. So a list of people killed in each part. Philosopher’s Stone/Sorcerer’s Stone - James and Lily. Chamber of Secrets - Moaning Myrtle (who had been a ghost before but whose death was pivotal in this one). Prisoner of Azkaban - Twelve Muggles killed by Peter Pettigrew. Goblet of Fire - Cedric Diggory (among others). Order of the Phoenix - Sirius Black. Half-Blood Prince - Dumbledore. Deathly Hallows - Snape, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Hedwig, Dobby, and Voldemort, among others.

8Harry Potter
Harry Potter: There's a theory that J.K. Rowling is actually Rita Skeeter who was exiled from the magic world for reporting lies. She is so angry about being exiled that she decides to write books revealing the entirety of the magic world to the muggle world. To her dismay, the Muggle world believes her stories to be fiction, but she becomes rich and famous anyway. Of course, this theory also involves the real world and is therefore way more far-fetched than other fan theories.
9Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Cameron Frye invented Ferris and he's living out what Cameron wishes he could be.
10Back to the Future
Back to the future: Dr. Emmett Brown is ready to kill himself along with Marty in that parking lot during the first time travel scene. Not only has he never tested the time machine, but he claims that many of his inventions have been failures. So during the moment when he's about to find out if his life's work was a huge success or a complete waste, he not only drives the Delorian towards himself but grabs onto Marty when he tries to run away. If that first-time travel test was a failure, they both would have been killed, which is exactly what Doc wanted had the experiment been a failure.
