Theory Briefing
- A fan theory argues WALL-E, far from saving humanity, is actually a satanic figure guiding humans toward their own destruction.
- The theory inverts Pixar's feel-good framing by reading WALL-E's influence on the humans as temptation rather than rescue.
- Pixar's choice to make the 'villain' a corporation and the 'hero' a lone robot makes the satanic reread surprisingly easy to construct.
- The theory is a reminder that a story's emotional framing can completely override its literal plot details for most viewers.
