In each episode of Film Theorists’ main series, Patrick dives into a specific work and sheds light on elements that less careful consumers may have missed. Despite the channel’s title, it isn’t limited to movies; instead, Patrick is taking on all sorts of pop culture franchises, including Game of Thrones and Harry Potter.

SWORD ART ONLINE is one of the most (in)famous anime out there today, and its premise is cooler than most whole shows. SAO is a fully immersive VR MMO—so immersive that people in the game can LITERALLY die from playing it. Needless to say, this sort of VR experience doesn’t exist yet, but we’re definitely creating the groundwork that will lead to this tech. But knowing how much our current VR systems cost, is a game like SAO even feasible for developers? How much would it cost to create something as ambitious as this? Well, Loyal Theorists, the answer is SO MUCH MORE than you expect!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi quickly became one of the most polarizing movies of 2017. Critics loved it, but audiences HATED it. It's only natural to ask why this might be - who is to blame for this disparity? Well, Loyal Theorists, The Hollywood Reporter has an answer: They think it's ALL MY FAULT! And while this does sound ridiculous, it turns out they're right.

THE INCREDIBLES is one of the most beloved Pixar movies, and this makes sense seeing how it's Super Heroes and Family combined. But with so many super abilities under one roof, I have to ask: Which Incredible is the "most super?" Well, Loyal Theorists, I've found the answer, and it's not who you're expecting!

Not many people saw JUSTICE LEAGUE when it came out last year, so you may not know why this movie is perhaps the Scariest thing DC has ever made. I'm not kidding. Superman literally obliterates Earth at the end of the movie, and I can prove it!

I recently checked out PHINEAS AND FERB, and it's actually way better than I expected. But one thing stuck out to me above all the show's idiosyncrasies: Why hasn't Dr. Doofenshmirtz been arrested? He's obviously a villain, and his plans are so easy to thwart. Well, Loyal Theorists, I've uncovered the answer: Doofenshmirtz is unwittingly helping the OWCA the whole time!

The news makes it seem like the world is spiraling out of control at a record pace. But can you actually trust the information you're getting? The most recent example of news sensationalism revolves around Tide Pods. But are they actually killing our youth like so many news headlines would have you believe?

Wakanda's choke hold on Vibranium will be it's downfall! The country refuses to communicate and trade with the the rest of the world and history shows that is a BAD IDEA. How can T'Challa save his people from economic destruction? Well, loyal Theorists, that's what I'm here to solve.

2018x08 The Bee Movie LIED To You!

  • 2018-02-27T20:00:00Z15m

Save the BEES save the WORLD!! Or at least that's what THEY would have you believe. Who are they? The honey bees, that's who. The Bee Movie is perpetuating the myth that honey bees are key to our environmental survival. Today Loyal Theorists, I am here to tell you that all of that is a load of BEESWAX!!

Theorists, let me describe a story to you - see if you can guess what it is. There are psychic kids, celestial beings, time travel, and an entity of pure evil that shape shifts.

Today I'm going to tell you how Stephen King STOLE his multiverse from A Wrinkle In Time.

Here come the Men In Black.....They're going to make you FORGET!! YEAH!! Theorists, you remember the Neuralyzer?

That's right Theorists, with the right techniques I could make your FORGET ANYTHING!!

WARNING: Bots are taking over our movie reviews!! Or are they? What if I told you that it was your fellow movie buffs that were helping Hollywood make bad movies? That it was all OUR FAULT? Well Theorists, that is EXACTLY what I'm telling you. We made the Justice League movie happen.

Ready Player One's The Oasis is virtual reality at it's most advanced state. Yet the real danger lies outside The Oasis - IN REALITY! Right in your very own home. Literally. The Stacks are the deadliest part of the Ready Player One world and I'm about to tell YOU why!

We've always know Disney had a dark side. But that's just movies - none of those scary things could happen in real life. Right? WRONG! Today we are looking at Pinocchio's Pleasure Island and the business model that would make it and it's child workers SUCCEED.

Phineas and Ferb is full of scientific marvels - but would any of them ACTUALLY WORK in real life? Let me tell you, there are so many inventions I would love to talk about but we are going to start with the one that was way ahead of it's time. The one that predicted the FUTURE of how science can harness the power of MAGNETS. Doofenshmirtz's Magnetism Magnif-inator!

Marvel's Infinity War is about to begin! Thanos is after the Infinity Stones, but he is still missing ONE. The Soul Stone. In all of the MCU, it is the only one yet to appear. "Where is it?" you may ask. Well Theorists, that is what we are here today to find out!

The final trailer for Deadpool 2 was released and I noticed something VERY interesting. This guy they keep focusing on, Peter. Is he REALLY the average Joe they want us to think he is? Or is there something lurking beneath this every man facade? Something POWERFUL? Let's find out!

You read that right! Thanos' big plan for the Infinity Stones wasn't crazy! It was awful, sure, but maybe we were to quick to call it WRONG. Today Theorists, I'm playing Devil's Advocate as we try and figure out if Thanos' plan would SAVE US ALL!!

So you found a Golden Ticket to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory - now what? You avoid being made into candy, blown up like a blueberry, or any other horrible consequence of being a bad kid. What is your reward? Fame, glory, immense riches? HA, SUCKER!! You are now the proud owner of a failing business and a pile of lawsuits! Today Loyal Theorists, we are delving into the genius business moves of Willy Wonka!

Yanny vs Laurel took over the internet but all of the answers felt....only half finished. I needed to know MORE. You, Loyal Theorist, deserved to know how to STOP being FOOLED by these illusions. Today, that's what I'm going to show you how to do.

The tragedy of all the lives lost at Jurassic World could have been PREVENTED! That's right!

Instead, I trudged through the rules and regulations to figure out how to run a SUCCESSFUL Jurassic Park.

Here's a superhero question - if someone doesn't want to be saved, what happens when you save them? That's what happened to Mr. Incredible in the first Incredibles movie and we never got a good answer. Today Loyal Theorists, we are figuring out if you can LEGALLY sue a superhero for saving you.

My Hero Academia has many interesting Quirks, to put it mildly. One of the most interesting being that of Bakugo. That's right, Mr. Explosive Sweat himself.

We all know that the COOLEST moment in the new Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer is when we see Ant-Man grow into a GIANT man. Now, I've explored Ant-Man's powers before, but never what it means to grow up to 65 feet tall! What does that do to your body? Well, Loyal Theorist, you are about to find out!

Thanos - the big bad with a tragic past. We've talked about him a LOT on this channel, except we've missed one BIG mistake. Possibly the biggest mistake Thanos made the ENTIRE movie! He put all his power into a single snap but that metal gauntlet COULDN'T SNAP! That's right, Marvel made a big no no and I am here to set them straight!

OG Title: Star Wars EXPOSED! Han Solo CAN'T Fly! (Star Wars Trilogy + Solo: A Star Wars Story)

Solo gave us the history of our favorite con-man, but what Star Wars didn't know was that it also revealed the TRUTH about Han Solo's skills...or lack of skills. He CAN'T fly a ship! That's right, Han Solo is NOT the best pilot in the galaxy! Today, Loyal Theorists, we are PROVING that Han Solo has no flying skills at ALL!

What if I told you that the Earth being ruined with garbage in Wall-E wasn't an accident? That is was all a big SCAM being run by the one organization set to benefit from it. That's right! Today Theorists I am going to show you how good 'ole BnL ruined it for everyone!

The Wreck-It Ralph 2 trailer Disney Princess scene sparked a question for me. What QUANTIFIES a Disney Princess? Capital D. Capital P. Depending on where you look, you find a LOT of differing opinions. Today Theorists, I aim to figure out what the rules are to being a TRUE Disney Princess!

Last week we determined the rules for what makes an "official" Disney Princess. After dissecting the Princess Scene from the Wreck It Ralph 2 trailer, it became clear that not all princesses make the cut. No hate, just the rules of Disney. But this video isn't about your standard princess. This time, I'm going to figure out if the one & only Vanellope Von Schweetz qualifies as an OFFICIAL Disney Princess!

Mrs. Doubtfire is a classic Robin Williams movie that a generation grew up watching. When I watched it again as an adult though, I noticed something CRAZY! Mrs. Doubtfire broke the law SO MANY TIMES! How did this character not get arrested? Today Theorists, I'm going to show you how Mrs. Doubtfire is actually a CRIMINAL!!

Alone in the world is this little CatDog, at least for now. I love Nickelodeon's classic cartoons, but I've always wanted to figure out one thing: What is a "catdog?" Better yet, can a "catdog" really exist? Today Theorists, we are diving into the world of NickToons to figure this out!

Today we are talking about the ULTIMATE showdown of strength and durability. One Punch Man vs Vibranium - the strongest metal of the Marvel universe! I know, I know, call me crazy but I HAD to know. Theorists, today we find out of vibranium can be broken in ONE PUNCH!

The Titans of Attack on Titan are an unusual sort - they don't follow the rules of giant sized beings like I talked about in my Ant Man theory. Why is that? What is making these Titans? Today Theorists, I aim to get a 'rise' out of you all with what I've uncovered.

  • 2018-09-27T19:00:00Z15m

Venom - the symbiote with a taste for... well, people. Not only does Venom have a human host in Eddie Brock, but he chomps down on a few as well. Is that ACTUALLY good for him? You see, I think that Venom is being HURT by the humans he needs to survive! How? Let me show you!

Big Hero 6 didn't just give us the hope for a cuddle nurse robot like Baymax, it gave us the FUTURE of modern technology. I am talking nanobots! Tiny little pieces of tech to fulfill our every need that we can operate with our BRAIN! How do I know this will work? Let me show you!

The Conjuring, like many horror movies, claims to be based on "true events". I wanted to know, how TRUE are these movies? I talking names and dates - REAL sources. Theorists, today were are going to see if these ghost stories have ANY TRUTH to them at all!

Halloween is a CLASSIC horror movie - the granddaddy of the slasher genre. It introduced to the world the iconic Michael Myers. Who, when you think about, seems like some kind of SUPER human.

When Shane Dawson released his eight part Jake Paul docuseries, the internet was OBSESSED! Finally, we get to see what is going on in this guy's CRAZY world. Except, Shane missed a BIG part of the story. Today Theorists, we are going inside the SECRET BUSINESS of Jake Paul!

Last episode we talked about the people running the Jake Paul show. Today Theorists, we're Examining just WHAT Jake Paul is putting out there. He’s admitted his audience is mostly kids and YouTube has some STRICT rules when it comes to kids. Do Jake Paul’s videos actually BREAK YouTube's rules? Let's find out!

Millions of people tuned in to watch Shane Dawson investigate Jake Paul...and Jeffree Star... AND TanaCon. Shane has made himself the go-to guy for YouTuber controversy coverage but is that a GOOD thing? Shane himself admitted his bias on many occasions when it comes to the subjects of his series. He has a lot at stake to make sure that YouTubers want to work with him in the future on more of these docu-series. Does that mean that he may be warping the truth? Does that make his videos DANGEROUS? Let's find out!

Groot became a fan favorite right away despite, or perhaps because, he can only say the simple phrase "I am Groot".

Let's find out!

Disney isn't quite the creator of happy magical movies we think it is. In fact, Disney makes some of the most DANGEROUS movies out there. At least, if you happen to be a character in them. How many living, sentient creatures die in Disney movies? Which has the HIGHEST death count? Let's get counting!
