#7: The Flintstones and the Jetstons
The Flintstones and The Jetsons seem to be set in completely different time frames. Still, one wild fan theory suggests that the animated worlds actually coexisted in the same time period, representing a dystopian future where society was sharply divided into two classes: the super-rich and the incredibly poor. The Flintstones, set in a prehistoric past, portrays a world where people use primitive technology despite living among advanced machinery, suggesting a stark economic divide.
On the other hand, The Jetsons live high above the clouds in a futuristic utopia filled with luxury and cutting-edge technology. This theory suggests that the wealthy elite in the sky have abandoned the Earth’s surface, leaving the less fortunate to dwell in a primitive, Stone Age-like society. It’s definitely a thought-provoking interpretation that adds a layer of social commentary to these classic cartoons.
