“We have a lot of things in common”: you may no longer see this classic from the 80s in the same way after reading the incredible theory of fans

What if Mikey des Goonies was actually … the descendant of the Pirate Willy Le Borgne? This is one of the persistent theories around Richard's film gave released in 1985, and quite recently, a creation of the specialized videographer secrets.de.cinema Detailed the ins and outs of this crazy possibility, it's up to you to see if it holds up!

It all starts with a doll

Everything starts from the fact that Andy (Kerri Green) finds a doll on the pirate boat. From there, fans began to speculate that there must be a child on board, as well as probably his mother. As according to superstition carefully maintained by sailors, women at sea were woe, if one of them was on board, she could only be the captain's wife, and her child, to be the child of the captain.

In addition, someone necessarily escaped from the Inferno, otherwise the card like the medallion found by the Goonies would never have reached them. Obviously, in order to give body to the theory, this “someone” would be the wife and child of Willy, who would then have settled in Astoria, and Mikey (Sean Astin) would be the descendant of this family.

Indeed, when he confides in the skeleton of Willy in the captain's cabin, Mikey declares, by raising the haunch of the pirate to reveal that he was borne: “So … that's why we call you” Willy Le Borgne “… Willy Le Borgne … We have a lot in common, huh, Willy? You know what, Willy? You are the first Goonie.” The video notably stresses that among their “things in common”, Willy and Mikey share the love of machines and traps.

This theory could collapse in several aspects, such as the fact that the doll may only belong to a small foam as there existed so much at that time on ships. Generally under the age of 16, the foam was on board to learn the profession of sailor. If the doll was, no more theory on Willy's descendants.

But what do you think of this theory? Does it hold the road? Do you see other possible links between Willy and Mikey?
