By now, most of us know the end of Monsters Inc. The Monsters discover that the screams they've been using as a power source are not the most optimized way to do business. Which, you know, is good to find out given the terror they've been puting generations of kids through. Thanks to the adventures of Sully, Mike and Boo, they find out laughter works even BETTER than the sreams. What I want to know, Theorists, is WHY that is and, more importantly, did the Monsters actually make a big MISTAKE?

I'm shocked that "love" wasn't the most powerful power source. ;)

“Mom I’m telling you a green man came out of my closet and did a stand up comedy routine”

[Harlinger]

seriously, whoever is doing the special intros needs raise

[Anon_The_Wizard]

I think the reason the monsters don't scare the adults is because children forget about the monsters when they grow up, but if it started happening to adults then the whole human world would know about the monster world.

Title: "The BIG Mistake of Monsters Inc"

MatPat: Actually explains why it makes sense to do what happened in the movie

[ryderlead]

can you imagine the humans in the monster inc world?

millennials: the monsters in our closets made us laugh

boomers: the monsters in our closets would make us scream and cry, it’s why your generation is so soft

[girgriffin]

Monster: "I wish kids would just stick to Minecraft."
Kids: *Buys Lego Minecraft*

[jaxonsazle]

It's like Dr. Doofenshmirtz all over again. Create a world ending device and lose to a baking soda volcano.

[LNOyoutuber]

In all the places Monsters Inc can be on Netflix... its in EGYPT!?!
Gotta be the most surprising thing I've heard all day!

[JediPlays]

I half thought this was a theory on Shrek Wasoski, not disappointed though 😆

[ballistic_buddha]

"you don't have to be afraid of monsters because the real world is filled with so much worse"
I'm gonna tell that to my kids every night before bed

[hanginglikecasper]

"because kids these days are losing their fear of monsters "

*7 year old me learning about dead kids being stuffed in suits and being raised on game theory *

"I wonder why?"

[Gavinyo]

“It’s actually a power company that gets it’s power by harvesting children’s screams”
When you say the plot of the movie it seems like this should be a horror.

[CallMeAlice]

Consider this, though: amusement parks. laughter and screaming

[iiyeet]

“Seems the child isn’t yelling loud enough. Let’s motivate them with a controlled shock.”

[matthewpatrick]

If adults found out that monsters are real, they might have been scared the first night, but they'd have 5 friends with shotguns waiting for the monster the next night.

[arashistorm]

“It’s genuine nightmare fuel”

So glad I’m not the only one who gets that this movie was actually kinda dark

[Makenzie-th]

For any parent out there that has a child that's afraid of monsters, here's some advice: use a glade plug-in and say it's monster repellent. My grandpa came up with it and it worked for me and my brother when we were in that scared-of-monsters phase.

[HarryWizard]

I just realised that between monsters inc going from scream energy to laughter energy, a bunch of really scary monsters lost their job...

[burnttoast]

Just a random thought- naming a company in a moster world "monsters inc" is like naming a company in this world "humans inc"
