Biggest and longest running theory is it was just a light bulb and it's all up to the audience to interpret what it is.
The ending of this movie didn't make any sense.

There were some last minute edits that changed the original intent, when test audiences got mad at the first ending. Basically, Sommerset reveals in a final monologue that he was actually the one manipulating everything, and Doe was just another part of his project. The ending changes and a few scenes hinting at it were cut, and the end result kind of doesn't work.

than you are literally retarded

This is wrong. The studio wanted those changes because they felt it was too shocking, but how it plays out in the movie is how it was originally written.

the box was LITERALLY pandoras box and after he defeated all those sins in the movie, he freed Hope from the box.
That movie was boring and is f'king overrated
>DONT SHOOT HIM OR HE WINS
>shoots him in the head
>HURRR NOW YOU ARE WRATH
>not shooting him in the gut or kneecaps and watching him suffer
fincher is a fucking hack

No they never wanted that change. They just wanted Pitts character not to shoot him, or Freeman's character to shoot
Jon Doe before him instead.
Nothing about freeman being the real bad guy or any other M.Night style twist

In the original script, diamonds, but for actual filming they just used an orange light.
The diamonds from Reservoir Dogs.

The suitcase from pulp fiction was in the box. Nnn it's a black male thing.
John Doe was just the patsy.
Somerset was the real killer.
In the beginning we see a ton of Christmas Tree air freshners on the desk of Somerset
Somerset doesn't want Mills as lead detective on the case, why? Mills has a lot of detective experience, he would have been more than capable of leading the investigation.
Somerset can be seen fleeing one of the crime scenes covered in blood
Mills brings up 2 references from Dante in the car when Doe is in the backseat, he never even acknowledges them.
We never actually see the head in the box, it was probably empty, Somerset faked being disgusted and wouldn't tell Mills it was empty, letting Mills imagination run wild.
Somerset agrees to go over to Mills' house for dinner even though he really doesn't like people anymore, why is that?
Somerset asked Mills if he checked for a pulse on the victim. Mills said no. Then ironically, when they found the "Sloth" victim, no one bothered checking the pulse. It's because he knew they would eventually find the "sloth" victim and he knew he would still be alive.
