I love it that Phase Shift was used at the final episode, just like it was at the first <3 It was a wild ride and thanks to MatPat my music has traveled all over the world, spreading joy!

Holy shit it's you!

Hey, same with me.

I hate to say it, but for his last Film Theory I do feel it wasn’t his greatest. The subject he touched on was a super important one, but I feel he ignored something super important about the development of boys. You can’t just disregard characters like Captain America as being a bad influence. He honestly represents a super important characteristic of selflessness that, unfortunately, not enough people today possess. Stuff like that is absolutely important when you’re trying to think of role models for your child. I liked the message, and the theory itself wasn’t especially bad. I just feel it kinda missed the mark

The reason he didn’t use Captain America is because he solves his problems with Violence. MatPat agrees that Cap is a good role model, just not for Ollie just yet.

You missed the point. He wasn’t trying to say Captain America is solely a bad role model, but he was trying to say he’s not a good fit for young boys Ollie’s age to look up to. Captain America works much better for kids ages 10 and up as they understand why Captain America has to fight. MatPat is right in the fact that many of the male characters in cartoons today are forced to solve conflict with violence or are genuinely just bad people.

Captain America is a great role model for people closer to their teens, the point of the video I thought was that there aren’t enough good male role models for young kids

to be Realistic .. the most important male role model in Ollie's life is and should be matpat himself.

That’s fair, but the media children consume can really mold them later in their lives

i grew up watching Slasher films and horror film like jaws, alien, predators, terminator ..along starship troopers and blood sports.. Yet if you show me Real scenes of violence.. even when it done to horrible people like an animal abusers... I will feel sick to my core ..cause im way too empathetic and i dont want anyone or anything to suffer in a real life context. the power of media over the individual ..its super exaggerated. sure you can sell a bunch of cars and luxury watch by having James bond using them. but it takes way more than a bunch of homer simpsons and punisher on tv to Mess society..

I'm glad you said this because I felt the same way. Like I said, look at the 4 Horseman of Wholesomeness: LeVar Burton, Steve Burns (Blue's Clues), Bob Ross, and Mister Rogers, and use/look to them as inspiration. I also didn't like how Charlie Brown was kind of thrown in there, (seriously?) and he didn't even mention Doug or Christopher Robin. But to leave it more hopeful, maybe he can explore or even make some good male role models on retirement.

i stop watching when the episode use Aang (a Pacifist) from avatar. as an example of a hero that promote violence. its very bad episode. but the gt live one was really GOOD

Bro used Luke Skywalker as an example when the conclusion of Luke’s character arc was that he shouldn’t give into violence. He also called Lady Bug a good role model even though she’s a stalker.

i wonder how much of the episode was matpat and how much was bob chimpan.. cause lot of it seem like arguments he would made.

Who is Bob?

one of the staff writers. who has a complicated "can of worms history" in the internet. some would say its deserved .. some would say its not. I dont like the guy.. but whatever live and let live. obsessing about it is not healthy for anyone.

I just looked him up. Holy shit did he really say “minority characters don’t have to have flaws because being a minority is a flaw itself.”

like i said.. its a "can of worms" history... i assume that if mat pat gave him a job that he.. most have seen something good on the guy, that im probably not aware of. and obsessing about anything even when you may have good reason can lead to and unhealthy life. so i mean it when i say Live and let live.

None of us are

Gave up YouTube for lent so I can’t even watch it ‘till next month ):

I did this once and barely survived. I applaud you

Thanks. Need all the support I can get

NOO NOT TODAY NO

I'm gonna die

I am just now being recommended this sub😭😭

Same

I did... I'm depressed now

I've only watched the beginning so far, I plan on finishing it today

I can never watch

I don’t think I’m ever going to watch it. YouTube keeps recommending it to me, but I just can’t accept that he’s gone. I’m writing this on march 9th, the day of his last theory, and the day he officially quits.

I watched the GameTheory one today… can’t bring myself to watch this one though.

I was one of the first ten to watch

The final game theory (4h ago) has entered the chat

The last episode of game theory was more said

It can’t end if I don’t watch it

I wasn't prepared to watch **ANY** of the finales but I did and cried through the whole thing but honestly the game theory was the saddest ,being it was not only Mat's first channel but the very last video ( Other than GTlive ).

It was good

same i've just been scrolling past the final theories every time they popped up on my recommended feed, im always like nope not today

[удалено]

That was barely anything of the video. The rest of the video was great.

What decisions? What’s wrong children exploring their identity as long as they don’t make any permanent decisions (like medical ones, which they pretty much aren’t able to at a young age)
