Episode 7: 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. I want to talk about the crimes of the man himself, Bruce Wayne, and what he's been up to in his business dealing with his company. This theory goes all the way to the TOP!
Episode 9: 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....

It's been a while since I posted my first theory on The Mandela Catalogue. The series has NOT slowed down! Today I want to focus on one of the scariest things to show up yet - The Intruder? Who is he? Should we ACTUALLY be afraid or is the truth a little more mysterious. Theorist, it's time to step into the dark and spooky world of The Mandela Catalogue once again! Don't be afraid...
Episode 5: 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. Yet, with all of the big ideas and the changing of our major character roster, could we be entering the actual END of the MCU? More than that, can the MCU be KILLED?

Episode 4: Yes, Mirabel DOES Have A Gift! (Encanto)
The question on everyone's mind after finishing Encanto seems to be one thing. Does Mirabel ACTUALLY have a Gift? You see, she seemed to be the only one able to save the family and hold them together. There is a lot of speculation that hidden somewhere in there is a secret power. Today we are going to figure out what that may be and what it means for the Madrigal family.
Episode 12: Jack Sparrow is Dying... Of THIRST!
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? No, I don't mean from undead pirates or Davy Jones himself. I'm talking about good old dehydration. That's right, this rum drinking pirate is DYING of thirst and it's all his fault!
