E1There Is Only DAD D̩̿̃̊a͎̓̄͋D ͈͘DÁ̘̪͡d ̒̇͞d̻̈́̚a͌͊͋͋͌D̡̻͊̒͞ ͈̆͐̌͒ͅd̰̘͝͡Á͕̪̄̚͢͟͠D̜̖̈͆̚ͅWho is Dad? No, not YOUR dad or MY dad. DAD! The man at the center of the new surreal series on YouTube. While familiar with the creator, I only came across this channel a little while ago and when he made a video with MY FACE as the thumbnail (even though it was deleted soon after), I knew I had to sit up and pay attention. There is some WEIRD stuff going on behind the facade of neon colors and dance music. Who is Dad? WHAT is Dad? Well Theorists, we are about to find out. - How Wonder Woman DOOMED Humanity! (Wonder Woman 1984)
E2How Wonder Woman DOOMED Humanity! (Wonder Woman 1984)The highly anticipated Wonder Woman 1984 is FINALLY out! It's been too long since I had a new superhero movie to talk about, so I had to watch and see if anything stood out as theory worthy. Well, Theorists, Wonder Woman did it again - or rather she DIDN'T! The last time I talked about Wonder Woman, she'd failed us as a hero. Well, looks like she's up to her old habits again! Yep, Wonder Woman has failed us once again - and I'll tell you how! - Dib Is An ALIEN! (Invader Zim)
E4Dib Is An ALIEN! (Invader Zim)I've been wanting to cover more classic cartoons lately and Invader Zim was the perfect choice. The lore and science of that show fascinates me. There is so much we can dive into that it was hard to limit myself to one thing, but for you, Theorists, I will do my best. Today we are going to uncover the SECRET ALIEN hiding in plain sight. No, I don't mean Zim. I am talking about DIB! - The Dark Truth of Wanda's STOLEN Children! (WandaVision)
E7The Dark Truth of Wanda's STOLEN Children! (WandaVision)"For the children." That's the phrase that keeps coming up in WandaVsion. For a while, I thought that meant the missing children of the town but last week we got to see them again. Then I thought it meant HER children, Billy and Tommy, whose mysterious appearance has left many questions so far unanswered. Theorists, there is SO MUCH to unpack when it comes to the Hex, Wanda's kids, and what reality actually means anymore. Get ready to get mystical! - You Are Breathing POISON! (Phineas and Ferb)
E8You Are Breathing POISON! (Phineas and Ferb)It's been a while since we talked Phineas & Ferb, so I knew I needed to check in to see if there were any new theories being concocted in that backyard. It turns out, there totally IS! Today Theories, we are talking about the killer plant from SPAC! In the 'Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe' we come up against an alien species that needs something from earth. Theorists, that is just the set up to a KILLER theory! - WandaVision, The Secret THIRD Witch Revealed!
E9WandaVision, The Secret THIRD Witch Revealed!WandaVision's Scarlet Witch name drop was a BIG moment in the last episode. Now we know why Wanda's magic is red - it's CHAOS magic! Fun fact, if you've been paying attention, the roses in Wanda's garden are ALSO red. Not to mention Agatha, whose purple magic ALSO matches her purple garden. What a coincidence... or is it? What if hiding in these suburban homes of Westview is another secret witch? A THIRD witch? Well Theorists, that is EXACTLY what is happening! Today I am going to reveal WandaVisions's FINAL witch! - Why Godzilla WINS! (Godzilla vs Kong 2021 Trailer)
E10Why Godzilla WINS! (Godzilla vs Kong 2021 Trailer)The King of Monsters is back and this time he is not alone! The trailers for Godzilla vs Kong look epic and it meant I had to take a swing at the BIG question - who will WIN? Well Theorists, it's actually pretty simple. So instead of hedging my bets, I'm going to come out and say it. Godzilla will WIN and King King will... well the answer is not that simple. You will just have to watch to find out! - The 3 BIG Twists Of Falcon and The Winter Soldier! (Captain America)
E12The 3 BIG Twists Of Falcon and The Winter Soldier! (Captain America)There is a lot to unpack in the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, but why stop at that? You see, Theorists, all this setup is leading to some BIG reveals and I think I've figured it out. Today, we are not only covering what all of the clues in episode one mean for the future. I am going to predict the 3 BIG TWISTS coming up in the series and how the end will change the face of the MCU moving forward. Let's go! - Dear DC, I Fixed Your Universe! (Justice League Snyder Cut)
E14Dear DC, I Fixed Your Universe! (Justice League Snyder Cut)So now that we've all finally got to see the infamous Snyder Cut of DC's The Justice League, we're good right? Wrong! Now the people want to make it CANON! Well Theorists, what if I told you it already was? What if the original vision of Zack Snyder's Justice League has ALWAYS been canon? That's right! Before you send off that #RestoreTheSnyderVerse tweet, watch this video! It may have you saying #SnyderVerseIsAlreadyCanon instead. - Did Disney STEAL Finding Nemo?
E15Did Disney STEAL Finding Nemo?Disney is infamous for keeping a tight hold on it's copyright, including taking it to extremes with things that TECHNICALLY fall under public domain in their original format. Well, that is not what happened with Finding Nemo. You see, the story of Finding Nemo is VERY similar to a not as well known children's story. One that is NOT in the public domain. Today, Theorists, we are going to dive deep and figure out if Disney actually STOLE the story of Finding Nemo! - The Godzilla vs Kong They DIDN'T Want You To See!
E16The Godzilla vs Kong They DIDN'T Want You To See!What if I told you there was a Snyder cut of Godzilla vs Kong? Theorists, Zack Snyder does not have his own version of this movie, but I believe there is a LOST CUT. That's right. Somewhere out there is a version of this movie that NO ONE was allowed to see. Today, I'm going to crack open the vault on the Godzilla vs Kong movie we SHOULD have gotten but likely never will. Let's go! - Wall-E's Secret Cannibalism... More Juicy Proof!
E18Wall-E's Secret Cannibalism... More Juicy Proof!About 4 years ago, I released a theory saying that the movie Wall-E was about cannibalism. It was likely what solidified my place as King of Ruining Your Childhood forever. Theorists, today I am doubling down on that theory. The proof is in the pudding, or rather, it is in the cup. Where does the food come from and what is in it? Get ready for another heaping helping of people! - The Giant MONSTER Hiding in Shang-Chi! (Shang Chi Trailer)
E19The Giant MONSTER Hiding in Shang-Chi! (Shang Chi Trailer)The future of Marvel remains a mystery and the world of Shang-Chi is no different. We know TOO MUCH for me to not suspect that some gigantic surprise is awaiting us in the movie. We know about The Mandarin and the Ten Rings. So what, Theorists, is the movie hiding? I have the answer but you will have to watch to find out! - Dad Is Awake d͛̊̏̆͠AD̙͂̓̉̓ iS͌̇̍ Ȧ̳̑̅͑̕Wa͕̋kE̞͐̒͆͐̚ D̪̀̍͋̎Ą̄̄d̕ IŞ͗̌̉̂̋ a͐̚Wa̅Ǩ͊E̪͘
E21Dad Is Awake d͛̊̏̆͠AD̙͂̓̉̓ iS͌̇̍ Ȧ̳̑̅͑̕Wa͕̋kE̞͐̒͆͐̚ D̪̀̍͋̎Ą̄̄d̕ IŞ͗̌̉̂̋ a͐̚Wa̅Ǩ͊E̪͘Dad is back but he seems...different. Theorists, I think something is wrong. Something sinister. Today we are diving back into the world of Dad - a web series that is more like an experience. What does the future hold for Dad? Let's find out! - Which Fast and Furious Movie is the FASTEST? (And Why It Matters)
E28Which Fast and Furious Movie is the FASTEST? (And Why It Matters)I have been binge watching the Fast and Furious franchise recently and I am OBSESSED! With that and all of the memes taking over every social media since Fast and Furious 9 came out, I knew it was time to cover it. There were MANY ways this could go. Do I cover the lore? Or maybe the insane physics? Not today. Theorists, I decided I need to answer the most important question. Which Fast and Furious movie is the MOST fast and furious? - Predicting Loki's Final TWIST! (Marvel Loki)
E29Predicting Loki's Final TWIST! (Marvel Loki)Theorist, we are reaching the end of season one of the Loki Disney+ series. Before it ends, I have one more BIG prediction and I think I may have figured it all out. We all have been thinking that the series is building up to some reveal of Kang the Conqueror. The big question is WHO will it be? I think the answer has been in front of our noses all along... and I don't mean Agatha. - Red Guardian Fought A FAKE Captain America! (Black Widow)
E32Red Guardian Fought A FAKE Captain America! (Black Widow)After watching the new Marvel movie, Black Widow, we were all left with one question. Did Red Guardian ACTUALLY Fight Captain America? A lot of people have tried their hand at answering this but I think they've missed the BIGGEST twist of the story. Yes, Red Guardian fought Captain America... but it was NOT Steve Rogers! Who was it? You'll have to watch to find out! - How To Kill A Minion! (Despicable Me)
E33How To Kill A Minion! (Despicable Me)The Minions in Despicable Me seem near indestructible! You know what that means ,Theorists! I must figure out how to DESTROY them! Today we will find the best, and most efficient, way to kill a Minion. Who says my Theories have no real world applications? Let's get testing Theorists! - There's Blood on Captain America's Hands
E34There's Blood on Captain America's HandsFalcon and The Winter Soldier, or rather Captain America and the Winter Soldier, ended with a big speech from Sam about being better. Well Sam, I think you forgot a few things. You see, even Captain America has done some... less than stellar things - both Steven and Sam. I think he's got the right idea, but I think we need to workshop it a bit. Captain America, I'm about to fix your problem. - The Monster in the Comments... OwO
E35The Monster in the Comments... OwO Theorists, something has been lurking in the comments... and not just mine. Meet OwO, the commenter. Now that may seem like an innocuous coincidence but there is something much deeper going on. I started to see comments from OwO pop up around YouTube and was even told point blank "not to engage". You know I can't resist that kind of invitation, Theorists. - Rick KILLED Beth! (Rick and Morty Season 5)
E36Rick KILLED Beth! (Rick and Morty Season 5)Season 5 of Rick and Morty has been... a mixed bag. One thing they HAVE delivered on, though, is the promise of some epic lore. You see, the Rick we've been seeing is very different to our usual Rick. I've made a couple theories already about why that may be, but the most recent episode left a BIG clue. Has Beth been dead the ENTIRE time? Watch to find out! - 3 New Spider-Man No Way Home Theories!
E393 New Spider-Man No Way Home Theories!Theories aside, we all know that Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to be a WILD ride! After that trailer drop and confirmation of Doc Ock, the mysterious laughter of Green Goblin, and more - there is SO MUCH to talk about! So much that we are covering not one, not two, but THREE theories today! That's right, we are going all in on everything this movie has to offer. Let's go! - The Matrix NEVER Existed! (Matrix 4 Trailer)
E40The Matrix NEVER Existed! (Matrix 4 Trailer)The original Matrix trilogy was a well of theory potential. Yet, I haven't covered it in YEARS! So when the new trailer for The Matrix 4: Resurrections came out, I felt the need to try and cover ALL of the theories and predictions possible. All at once. Yes, today we are answering every question posed in the Matrix 4 trailer, what I think the plot and ending of the movies will be, and what that means for us the viewer. Get ready to PLUG IN! - How To SURVIVE Squid Game! (Season 1)
E44How To SURVIVE Squid Game! (Season 1)It feels like EVERYONE is talking about Squid Game, the Korean action / drama about a deadly series of children's games. I've seen other channels take a swing at explaining the series and figuring out the best strategy to surviving until the end, but I felt like I needed to try and figure it out myself. There had to be a perfect winning strategy. Theorists, I think I've found out the ULTIMATE way to survive to win the Squid Game! - Do NOT Open The Door... (The Girl In The Woods)
E45Do NOT Open The Door... (The Girl In The Woods)We've talked about the CryptTV universe in previous episodes and since then it has blown WIDE OPEN! With their new series called The Girl In The Woods, it looks like the timeline is shifting and I think we may be entering a monster multiverse just in time for Halloween! Today we are opening the door on the secret horror hiding in The Girl In The Woods! - The Final Broadcast (Local 58)
E48The Final Broadcast (Local 58)What if you cannot even trust the MOON? Theorists, we are returning to one of my favorite analog horror series... Local 58! Since my last episode on this series SO MUCH has happened! In fact, things appear to have crossed from function onto OUR reality. That's right, Local 58 has gone full ARG and I am here for it! Let's get solving! - Spiderman's Big REVEAL! The X Men Are Coming! (Spider-Man No Way Home)
E50Spiderman's Big REVEAL! The X Men Are Coming! (Spider-Man No Way Home)Theorists, we know that Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to be WILD! What you may not know is that Shang-Chi may have ALREADY told us what's going to happen in the end. That's right, we are predicting the FUTURE of the MCU and how Shang-Chi and Doctor Strange are at the heart of it all. Get ready to crack open the multiverse, Theorists, there is no going back from here! - Do Not Believe His Lies (The Mandela Catalogue)
E51Do Not Believe His Lies (The Mandela Catalogue)Theorists, I know you like it when I open the door to the creepy side of YouTube. That's what we are doing again today! Enter The Mandela Catalogue, a series that seems to be telling us the story of the bible... or is it? I think there is something strange going on with these "angels". Get your tin foil hats ready, Theorists! - The Christmas CRIMES of Santa Claus
E53The Christmas CRIMES of Santa ClausHere's a question... "Is Santa the bad guy?" In all the media we see, he is working those elves to the bone. Sometimes, those elves are even depicted as CHILDREN! What kind of workshop of horrors is he running? It's time to bring back our OSHA checklist and see if he's up to code.
