Film Theory: Creator of The Walking Dead PROVES ME WRONG! 

if Rick was in a coma, I would've liked that when Rick when to his house, Lori ordered a pizza and Glenn came to deliver the pizza.

i like how you censored glenn's face but everyone know's he died

how to prevent a zombie apocalypse? just bury people with their shoe laces tied togheter huehu3huehuehuehu3huehue

When are you gonna do a theory about what caused the outbreak/virus?

Honestly if Rick was in a coma the entire time. It would've been fun for him to wake up and run into a lot of main characters..like Glenn delivering pizza, arresting merle and daryl coming to bail him out,.. stuff like that. That would've been really cool

Umm.. I'd counter with Negan is a metaphor for government. Demands a portion of what you make to keep you "safe" because remember... "It's like taxes"

I expected a shit ton of edgy teens in here claiming to be psychopaths/sociopaths. I'm disappointed.

Am I the only one who actually kinda likes Negan, sure he killed Glenn. But his acting is PHENOMINAL, Jeffery dean Morgan plays the character absolutely fantastically and I can't tell what I like better, when he is yelling or when he is quiet

How COOL that he didn't duck the interview question Carl/Daryl/Michonne. I've never seen such a direct answer to a question like that for a show still running. They always want to keep you hanging, and dodge specifics; or else they don't HAVE an answer as they attempt to conceal that their degree of meticulousness of character knowledge and development is not as impressive as legend would suggest. Awesome, this guy.

Remember when MatPat also thought the team from Rogue One was going to become the Knights of Ren? Wouldn't be the first time he was proven wrong.

Matpat: "loners don't last" Morgan: "sorry, i don't speak wrong"

4:15 did anyone else notice the creeper

My kid had this video playing in the background (I couldn't care less about zombies), and it grabbed my attention because of the discussion about sociopaths & psychopaths/ antisocial personality disorder, a subject of expertise of mine, and I wanna say your explanation of these is spot on. Nice work.

4:13 all the zombies one guy in a minecraft creeper mask

,,We should shoot that scene just to mess with people,, Cough cough season 8 trailer... cough cough

2:59 "i was literally pulling my hair out trying to get it straight" Uh matpat try a straightener

"Arrogant" *shows Vegeta* Me: HEY! DON'T INSULT THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS DAMNIT!!!

I swear this show knows exactly who you love and then they kill them... I have never hated and loved a show so much at the same time.

Hey Matt pat you should do a who is really better alien or predator

"I can't stand Carl" Well that's not a problem anymore now, is it?

"We should film that scene just to mess with people." Watches new season trailer. ...FUCK

I dont watch the walking dead but still i do love these vids good job matpat and crew

MATPAT!!! LISTEN CLOSELY!!! If you do see this I would like to make a suggestion. I was just watching "A series of unfortunate events" and I was thinking of count Olaf. He just confuses me, I would like to see a film theory on what is wrong with him. (edited after this) I also would like to fully understand the purpose of the eye. PLEASE DO THIS!!!!

4:14 That moment when a creeper joins the zombie apocalypse

I would have asked,” do Walkers get offended if we call them zombies?”

Nice to see Walt Jr become so successful with Film Theory.

as a professionally diagnosed psychopath I want to let "normal" people know that, yes. manipulation is fun as heck, lying doesnt affect me in the slightest, and I don't exactly care about people, but not all of us are highly manipulative ass holes, I dont know how to explain the lack of emotions about death and such, but not all of us are murderers, actually most of us are not! so I pretty much borderline hate most people, have absolutly no qualms about murder, but I know Ill probably regret it later so yea.. but aside from that please do not go in the comments claiming you are unless you actually are, and no, im not an edgy teen with a cute profile pic, I just liked the movie how to train your dragon, and on that note, yes, we can feel some emotions, just not sympathy or empathy, or regret, or guilt, and the list goes on and on, I hope you got some interesting info from this comment

Someone I was SOOOOO sad that died was Beth. She was my fav :(

Negan will be in front of a lying down, weakened Rick and then, out of nowhere, Morales will jump down from a tree and shank Negan kappa

Hey! Theori idea I want to Know If it is possible to swing like spiderman form building to building with only your grip strengt and If Peter parker would have That strength or just fall and die.

I DID say it 3 times fast Matt Pat. I did. Dalnation DMA Donimation

I want the creator of TWD to be on TWD

Do a theory on the mysteries of gravity falls, please!!!!!!

The whole show is Carl telling a story as an old man

So by these definitions batman is a sociopath

"Where's Steven? Why isn't Steven here?" He's currently in space flying robot lions to take down a tyrannical empire

Amazing. 😂😂.MatPat puts more work in his research than the Creator himself.,, Uh, I don't know, mosquitoes I guess".Presious.

I still think that Negan is totally good in the head and is not same as the Governor nor Gareth.

I don't even watch the walking dead why am I here XD

7:20 the most precious image I have ever seen in my life

I never watched The Deading Walk but I watch this! What's wrong with me?

its like dayz everyone is a bandit

I'm really enjoying all these comments of people who think they're psychopaths.

And also eat your vegetables ~Robert, creator of the walking dead 2017

Programmed not to kill each other ? *Cough* Humanities history *Cough*

Mosquitos wouldn't kill them because the zombie infection isn't fatal. They are all already infected and haven't died to the mosquitos aren't going to change that. What kills them after the zombie bite is the infection caused by the microbes in the zombie's flesh.

"personally i can't stand the character of carl" me: *cosplays carl* *draws carl* *has carl as a icon picture* me: .... haha. ha. haha. a hahahah. ah. okay.

Sociopathy is characterized by the dark triad: Lack of empathy (often synonymized as psychopathy), narcissism, and Machiavellianism. Lack of empathy is obvious: It renders the sociopath unable, typically in degrees, not all-or-nothing, to form or feel deep emotional connections to others. Narcissism: An unhealthy obsession with self, seeking pleasure as the ultimate form of self-fulfillment. Machiavellianism: The concept of "The ends justify the means," or in other words a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve a desired goal. Obviously, these three traits are a dangerous combo: A person believes they are the most important individual in the world and they deserve pleasure over all other things and people, they are willing to do whatever it takes to obtain that pleasure, and the absence of a sense of empathy for the potentially negative impact on others doesn't prevent their actions. Psychopathy (not the empathy-synonym version) is characterized by the dark TETRAD, adding a single trait to the dark triad listed above: Sadism. Again, they want pleasure for themselves, they will do whatever it takes to obtain that pleasure, and they feel neither guilt nor remorse for what they do, and to top it all off, the thing that brings them the greatest pleasure of all is causing harm to others, which is sadism. That's why most serial killers are psychopaths, not sociopaths: They have to hurt others to experience the dopamine rush they so desperately crave, and their sadistic tendencies grow--usually from harming animals to more severe actions to more human victim--as their addiction to the dopamine grows. They have to cause more pain to experience the rush they seek. Eventually, a sadist will have to stop, or take that final step to killing to fulfill their desires. That's the understanding I have from studying abnormal psychology. I may be wrong, but I like this video regardless. :)

"Ranged weapon! Pfft... Whatver" "What?" "He shoots one off, hits her in the shoulder, he reloads, she cuts her head off" And this is what would have happened in the Samurai vs Knight vs Viking fight.

you should do a theory on your lie in April, more specifically kaori's illness

You know if Rick was actually in a coma and woke up he goes to his house orders pizza there is gleen his new neighbor negan and his wife he goes to the zoo there is Shiva and the king. That will be cool

How come you didn’t ask him If Carl was telling the story of his childhood Edit: Wait sorry that was my own theory

notification squad?

Last time i was this early Bo Burnham was still a youtuber

matpat: explains that sociopaths don't do altruism Sherlock: does everything for the people he cares about matpat: uses Sherlock as example for a sociopath I see a problem here

8:24 he knows too much

Excellent work articulating Multi-level selection and Group selection!!! I'm a philosophy major currently studying philosophy of bio and you did an excellent job at articulating the core of those concepts which are initially extremely difficult to fully grasp. Really highlights your capability to comprehend the abstract concepts underlying so many themes of our society and why they're manifested the way they are :)

*NO* In mother Russia we eat zombies!

Dad went on a hunting trip....

Carl would win with his secret weapon: Plot Armor.

But aren't we all slightly psychopathic? I remember a TED talk where a guy pretended to be insane but slightly too good and ended up in an asylum. He tried to show his sanity but then ended up being diagnosed with being a psychopath. The speaker (forgot the name, sorry) concluded that we're all slightly psychopathic and I agree with that opinion. Any thoughts? Are the gang members doomed? They are so close to snapping. Imagine if the show ended like that? They all become psychopaths, kill each other and are wiped out leaving the earth to start life again. Well intelligent life again.

I love everything about this video but I have to point out that while you kind of lump Negan in with other characters you label as psychopaths, he is most certainly a sociopath. As revealed in his origin story, he started out as a normal, everyday husband who, after the loss of his wife and several other travelling companions, snapped and decided to abandon emotion and compassion in exchange for what he thought was strength and superiority over others. Fast forward a couple years, and we meet him on the road as he bashes in Glenn's skull. He didn't find his place in the world because he didn't fit into standard society like psychopaths, the trauma and horror of the new world changed him into who he is when we first see him, a ruthless and undeniably sociopathic dictator.

1:54 I was like. Wait who is that kid in the middle? And then I was like HOLY CRAP CCOOOOOOORRRRAALLLL.

7:08 he shows Neegan, the Gouverneur and himself 😂

They should end Walking Dead while it's still good, I hate it when they end series after people stop liking it.

MatPat, two questions. 1: Are you in love with Hamilton? 2: Are you SURE that you and Thomas Sanders are different people?

Look at the flowers. Look at the flowers.

how many people tried saying dalmation dna domination after mat said it

I'd love to hang out with Robert and just keep asking random questions about TWD.

I started watching TWD because of the Film Theory about going deaf...

The Walking Dead in 5 words: It's KILL or BE KILLED

Next season. They find a space station and the plans to a mars colony. Board space shuttle and leave.

hey matpat, do you think there's specific rules for ghosts in horror films since they seem to attack strategically instead of just going right at it?

please do a STRANGER THINGS theory. Like if you agree so Mat will see this!!

4:13 pause video and look around in the zombies you'll see a creeper

i have seen exactly 3 episodes but these theories are great

I wouldn't count Negan is a sociopath he is not independent he needs the saviors people like simon or Dwight and he does show signs of empathy but he needs his rules to be followed

I think its really funny how a majority of older fans/guys hate carl, but i always see the 13-15 year old girls obsessing over him. I had this girl in my class years ago who would not talk about anything other than him and even learned how to use photoshop just to put her and him in a picture together and try to convince people he was her boyfriend.

I think one of the most sad, disturbing part of this series that is an example of change because of the zombies, is when Carol has to shoot the little girl because she killed her little sister because she will "come back".

I miss matpat 🥲

Why was there a minecraft creeper in one of the zombie pics at 4minutes 15seconds

11:04 phew! Thank goodness that spoiler bar covered up that character super well! Would've sucked if no other character had the same hairstyle as that guy.

do samurai jack

I have a theory that I hope Reachesl somebody. My theory is that the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. Remember when Rick walked out of the hospital and saw the helicopter? I think at the end of the series the helicopter that picked him up was that helicopter. Then he woke up in the hospital. I think it's a multi-dimensional repeat of itself. As Above So Below, A in the beginning, So in the end

Dawg. Your Spoiler cover up game is atrocious.

Hey MatPat: How many people live in metropolis?

what's Glenn's favorite restaurant? POPEYES! oh yeah, spoilers

I remember watching negan’s season and starting supernatural at the same time, not knowing Jeffrey Morgan was in both, I was thoroughly traumatized and had hella mixed feelings

I have a theory- at the end of Doctor Who part 2, MatPat said that there was a real person who was shown everywhere throughout time. My theory is that MatPat made that up and has been since searching throughout the internet to see if his proclamation was correct, because otherwise people would hate on his doctor who theory for it.

PLS do a video on the young mutants in the movie "Logan" and who you think their 'gene' parents are. For example, the Ice girl's parent is obviously bobby (iceman)

Am I the only one who cried when Glenn died?

13:19 Damn, Robert Kirkman foreshadowed Glenn's death in season 7!

make a video about Tyreese's scene!!!

I've never watched The Walking Dead before, but it seems awesome and I love that the creator is willing to talk to people like MatPat and confirm their theories, I think I'll give it a watch. :)

But mosquitoes wouldn't bite zombies, no hear or carbon dioxide being released.

8:51 Mat:In TWD, Loners don't last. morgan:Am I a joke to you?

Hey Matt, could you do a theory about a show called Miraculous Ladybug? (Yes that's a kids show but its a good kids show OK!!) There is a theory that Hawk Moth is Adrien Agreste's dad Gabriel Agreste. There is a LOT of proof behind this and it would be cool to see you explain the theory and see if its logical or not

MatPat why dont you like Carl 😥

I like Carl

#season 8 spoilers Who’s here after Carl’s death and season 8.
