We KILLED the MCU! (Marvel)

As we enter Phase 4 of the MCU, I have to wonder... will it ever end? Don't get me wrong, I love me some Marvel movies and making theories about them.

Batman Is STEALING From You!

Now that you've read the title, I'm sure you are thinking "MatPat, of COURSE BatMan is a criminal! He's a vigilante!" Well Theorists, that may be true but that is NOT what we are talking about today.

Dolores BROKE The Magic! (Disney Encanto)

Theorists, by now we know who the "secret villain" of Encanto is, right? It's Abuela. Well, what if we are all WRONG? I think someone else in the Madrigal may have been pulling the strings. Someone who always knew what was going on... whether they liked it or not. Someone whose gift may have felt more like a curse. No, I'm not talking about Bruno....

Theorists, have you ever heard of Captain Jack Sparrow? I'm pretty sure most of you have. What if I told you he was in trouble? Like DEADLY trouble?

By the end of Encanto, we see Dolores united with her prince charming - or at least that is what it seems like from the outside.

Is Morbius So BAD You Can SUE?

Theorists, it's Morbin time! I know, I know. That meme is super old now, but it was part of what inspired me to make this theory in a way. Well, the Morbin meme at least meant I needed to take a second look at Morbius. Oh boy, did I take a second look. Specifically, I watched the trailer again and realized that the movie I was advertised was NOT the movie I saw. At ALL!. Is that even LEGAL? Think of this as the sister episode to our episode over on game theory about mobile game ads.

Um actually, you CAN simply walk into Mordor but it'll take a while (Lord of the Rings)

With Rings of Power in full swing, I felt the need to revisit the world of Middle Earth myself... for the memes. Most of you have probably seen the Boromir meme that reads "One does not simply... [insert thing here]." The original quote finishes, "walk into Mordor." But... that is exactly what Frodo and Sam do. So, was Boromir just completely wrong or should the journey have killed the Hobbits? Let's find out!
