There’s also another part to Patchy time traveling. For the episode “Shanghaied”, it was actually an interactive episode where fans could choose the ending(The fruit ending had the most votes). And the person who told fans to vote was literally Patchy himself. So when Patchy time traveled, he probably remembered what fans chose.

I think the muses repopulate by infecting someone, just like one did to Alex. Alex went on a huge eating frenzy and even ate raw meat, just like the muses do, as if he was feeding one. I think that when infected, a person is under some sort of mild mind control that gives them the urge to feed the muse inside them and seek someone to give the new muse to. Another reason I think that the muse uses mind control is because it spoke through Alex to Wesley just before it left his body.

I was actually thinking about this after watching the theory My guess is that since he was just a normal person before dying he has no idea he's watching himself in the future, however he's watching an episode where the Flying Ducthman is kinda torturing Spongebob, something that makes him click with this particular episode cause he already has resentment towards him, making him gravitate towards this episode and calling it his favorite one.

I found another piece of evidence that the Dutchman is experiencing time differently. "Scaredy Pants" has the Dutchman getting scared by Spongebobs's exposed brain. which seem kind of odd for him, since he himself has done a lot worse than expose his brain. However, in the episode "The Legend of Boo-kini Bottom" The Dutchman goes inside SpongeBob's Brain only to get scared by all the overly cute, happy stuff. Maybe the reason the Dutchman got scared of SpongeBob's brain in "scaredy Pants" was because he has already seen all the "horrors" that's inside.

Also in the episode "Your shoes untied", SpongeBob goes to see the flying Dutchman, but after showing him different types of knots, SpongeBob asks if he can teach him how to tie his shoes. And then The Dutchman says he hasn't wore shoes for thousands of years. This proves it even more that The Dutchman is time traveling.

[@MIA_KALISHA]

Good the theory 👌

[@DieLuftwaffel]

Plus, pirates of his style (speaking English and wearing that clothing type) were around in the 17 to 18th centuries (300-400 years ago roughly). If time were running normally for him and he was wearing shoes 1000 years ago he would have looked more similar to a Viking. Also would have spoken Norse or Anglo Saxon most likely as his first language.

[@cumbrap]

Okay I think I get it now, Alex doesn't understand how the muse works, allowing it to manipulate him. But this only goes so far as he's clearly not happy killing animals for it. The Cynical Critic has a muse too, which forced him to destroy things he loves. An allegory for this would be his scathing review of the Dark Knight, a movie which its shown he previously loved. Something he loved that he was forced to destroy, just for the attention of others. There was something about his mother too, maybe he did something to his mother that was a plot point. Edit: Since finishing the video i've concluded that the muse is an alien creature intent on spreading itself to willing human hosts through mental inspiration. Maybe Happy Meat Farms is in there too I dunno

[@AlexBaleFilms]

Tying up some loose ends about this theory people have commented. SPOILERS! #1. Wouldn’t the Dutchman have recognized Mr. Krabs if he used to be Patchy? Yep you’re right that’s my bad. I think the real reason the Dutchman doesn’t recognize him in that scene is because Mr. Krabs has a beard. #2. Why is he called “The Flying Dutchman” if Patchy isn’t dutch? I have a feeling there was already a real Flying Dutchman legend just like in real life, maybe Patchy took his name because he knew he was a feared legendary pirate. #3. How did the Dutchman get his ghost ship? What about the dutchman’s crew that was mentioned in one episode? Patchy has been the Dutchman for thousands of years and has the ability to travel to any point in time, that’s plenty of time for him to find a ship and crew and live out the pirate fantasy. Just because it’s a “ghost ship” doesn’t necessarily mean he had to have died with it. He has a ghost phone too lol. #4. How come the Dutchman is obsessed with stealing souls and taking them to Davey Jones locker? Wouldn't that make him more like the grim reaper? We've actually seen lots of ghosts try to steal souls. In "Money Talks" Mr. Krabs reveals he's sold his soul to a whole long line full of different ghosts. Maybe stealing souls and giving them to Davey Jones makes you a stronger ghost, which would explain why the Dutchman is so powerful compared to most ghosts.

[@rottytopszombiewaifu5249]

One thing I've been wondering is, how exactly did Patchy/Dutchman become a real pirate in the afterlife? Like how did he get his own ship and gain such a terrifying reputation in the afterlife? Also what's up with the whole stealing souls and Davy Jones Locker thing? That got me thinking for a moment, and I think I have my own additional theory to this... After Patchy died on that tiny island above Bikini Bottom, it's possible that Patchy met Davy Jones himself, and Davy was about to either steal Patchy's soul or send him to Davy Jones' Locker (TBH I'm not sure if Davy Jones' Locker is a gateway to purgatory or just Hell for pirates in the Spongebob universe), but then Patchy begged Davy to spare him, and he did. In fact Davy Jones allowed Patchy to live on after death as a ghost under the sea so he could finally be with Spongebob, but in return Patchy has become a slave to Davy Jones, and must carry out his deeds. In other words, Patchy has essentially met the same fate as Bootstrap Bill Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. This would explain a lot about Patchy when he obtains his new identity as the Flying Dutchman. It would explain how he got his own pirate ship and was granted official pirate status by Davy Jones himself, as well as how he gained such a reputation and is feared by all of Bikini Bottom after all the souls he stole. But not many Bikini Bottom citizens know that stealing souls and sending sinners to Davy Jones' Locker is simply just the Dutchman's job, cause Davy Jones told him to. So it's not like the Dutchman wants to do those things, he has no choice. In fact if the Dutchman fails to carry out one of Davy Jones' deeds, Davy punishes him by temporarily trapping him inside his Locker, as shown in the episode "Spongebob Vs The Big One", where Davy Jones makes his first official appearance in Spongebob, and you can see Davy tormenting the Dutchman while enjoying/laughing at his suffering. (Just look it up on KZbin and you'll see what I mean) Now some people may be thinking, well if the Dutchman's job is a curse and he only steals souls and sends people to Davy Jones Locker because he has to, how come he seems to enjoy tormenting people while doing it? Well, he's been doing this for a very long time, so not only has he likely developed a sense of pride in his work overtime, but considering that he's been stuck in ghostly purgatory for literally thousands of years (while under Davy Jones' eternal enslavement), it'd be no surprise if Patchy had gradually forgotten who he once was, and was eventually fully consumed by his new identity. You can see how much his personality has changed, as he has become much more hostile and mentally unstable, he's developed an obsession with scaring people (as he wants everybody to fear him just like they fear Davy Jones) that's excessive enough to rival his obsession with Spongebob (you can even see these 2 obsessions clashing together in Ghost Host), and he seems to have forgotten just about everything from his past life. It also kinda makes sense why he ate Potty, who was once Patchy's best friend he knew and grew up with since childhood, as Patchy no longer remembers Potty, who is but a mere snack to him now. The only thing Patchy/Dutchman vaguely remembers is Spongebob obviously, and while Patchy is mostly gone and has become the Flying Dutchman, there's still at least a little bit of Spongebob's #1 Fan left in him (like Alex Bale said), buried deep down somewhere within his embodied soul... Well, at least Patchy technically did get to meet his lifelong idol, even if it wasn't in the way he expected to.

Do you really want me to say it I guess I'll say it. Or he'll say things like okay I guess it's time to do this because we have to go into this. The people who want the content are us but also the Muse clearly wants this as well so I felt like it's sort of represented the dark Side of KZbin and fandom. Especially with the pirate episode talking about the dark Side of fandom. And how the other creators talk about the muses being a good thing but clearly it has a dark side and is very controlling. Kind of like how creators help each other gain popularity all the time but a lot of friendships between creators aren't real. Like in this last one how it's actually Victorias Muse making her guide Alex. Sort of like how when the fans will ask different creators to collab.

All i can do is pmise they even entertain you while presenting you the Data.

In a way, watching this series reminded me of a prime AVGN in how it's not only about the theory itself, but also the story of the filmed segments outside of it. That's literally the HIGHEST praise I can give to someone on KZbin and something I wouldn't have thought I'd be saying again.

[@Revellius21]

I actually always thought that The Flying Dutchman was related to Patchy when I was a kid. Like an ancestor or something.

[@TheMichaelAngeloChannel]

That's an interesting point of view

[@bangsofdoom]

26:14 honestly- at first this was so creepy to watch I didn't even believe Alex was telling the truth. but no- if you look up "Spongebob Big Birthday Blowout Ending Song," the first video, you can actually see the scene where he's, well, "flopping like a fish." And it's unnerving that it came from the show, the weird slight color greyness, and the jolting of the body.. it just looks like something from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. I'm pretty convinced this theory is correct

[@paradoxics4692]

I'm not only interested about these theories, I'm also interested about these films that you keep making and they are incredible! Keep up the good work!!

I wonder if the Flying Dutchman getting scared by SpongBob's exposed brain will have anything to do with the Atlanteans?

[@tomaskooo3478]

good point

[@AngelPerez-yr1yi]

Actually you may be on to something. The Flying Dutchman has done worse then expose his brain. He's turned into many ugly creatures so why would he be scared of SpongeBob's exposed brain.

[@gacha_girl8482]

That quite accurate

[@okimightcomeback]

He might be afraid of the atlantiens bc of the tech they have. And he has ptsd of them

One single plot hole if patchy loved SpongeBob so much he would know who krabs is and not say “ some random guy I’ve never seen “

I love how this series just went from "Hey here is Squidward's enemy and I am gonna show you that he is not who he says he is" to "All of Bikini Bottom is secretly infiltrated by robots and they are planning their uprising"

[@meh4371]

Yeah I'd say it started off pretty normal and just got darker and darker.

[@Jscon864]

I think it’s pretty clear that you’re still using some of the techniques that you used in Old Root for this and I love it. Such as hiding things in areas where they are just barely visible. Love everything you are doing with this and can’t wait to see more from you!!

When I first heard the concept for this I was like "Yea right, he's running out of ideas" but after watching it, THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE
