I always felt Swiper was just a kleptomaniac and Dora and friends were just helping him calm his addiction. "His Aw man" is just him getting upset that he nearly gave in. Swiper even goes to the future and sees his older self, now no longer able to be stopped, and looks horrified.

What if Dora IS the demon? What if she doesn't have a plushie because she's not supposed to be there, yet forced herself in anyway? What if Swiper is actually trying to stop her, and due to his Willpower he's able to resist her to some degree? Maybe Dora is pulling the strings, and that's why she wasn't harmed. She makes the rules, so she doesn't die.

[@mariethesea3763]

@@mehdraagentennebrae8612 it’s still confusing me why it’s called DORA the explorer and not Boots the explorer or something?

[@mehdraagentennebrae8612]

@@mariethesea3763 Some more "evidence" for my Dora is the Demon theory. It's Dora's show, she determines what happens. Boots doesn't get to decide what he does, nor does Benny or anyone else. The only one to show defiance is Swiper, and even then he can't do much about it against an all powerful demon. That's probably why no one can interact with the world without Dora's say so. I get the feeling viewer participation is important somehow for Dora, and that's why we need to tell her where things are. She knows, but us yelling at the screen and acknowledging her benefits her in some way

It could also be a dream. She plays the game(that has Swipper and Boots as part of it) so much that she dreams she is in it too. Would explain why there is no plushy of her. Could be her dreams uses that game to explain what is happening in the real world.

[@AkumaDayo]

@@oncefighting I honestly haven't developed it enough to form a full theory, it's mainly just "this kid looks nothing like the rest of his family, so I'mma say he's adopted so I can imagine the fake drama in this extremely mind rotting show" lol Like if I'm remembering correctly, he has blonde hair and blue eyes but those traits aren't found anywhere else in his family. One of his parents has red hair and the other has brown hair, and then one has green eyes and the other brown. The siblings have a mix of those traits and even the grandparents don't have blue eyes (their hair is gray tho so idk about either of them being blonde) And that's really all there is to the theory, just anything to make it more palatable to my fragile mind lmao EDIT: alright turns out I was in fact remembering the blue eyes wrong his eyes are brown, but that doesn't change the fact that he's blonde and no one else in the family is blonde (that we know of) Idk how genes work admittedly, so idk if him being the only blonde is possible or not genetically It's just more fun to say he's adopted 💀

Swiper is almost definitely based on Huehuecoyotl, and Aztec fox god of mischief, who was often depicted as being trapped by chanting of specific phrases. So it was a little weird to not see him mentioned at all... Though it's possible that Matpat just steered clear of trying to say his name 👀

[@LoveLee_Dreamer]

I like that sometimes Mat and his crew craft intricate and well researched theories that have TONS of proof, and then there are theories like this that have very little actual proof of the theory itself and just kind of meanders for a bit.

[@ice_pls]

It's entirely possible that the family is merely side chararacters in the video games to make it seem more realistic to dora.Plus Dora in the original did have family (Abuela, and diego)

[@lacytaylor1501]

I think they are characters somehow added by the demon into the game because if we want to tie the show and movie together, in the show her family actually take part in the gameplay like everyone else yet in the movie they suddenly don't, maybe the demon eventually dragged her actual family in and that's why they are kind of freaked through out the movie, maybe the demon entirely broke Dora and got bored so he dragged in her family to mess with them. The movie just takes place after the show when Dora has finally completely snapped and given in to living in the video game

[@cir0plus]

I think it's more of a dream, maybe she plays the game so much she dreams about it. She leaves the game on when she goes to sleep. That or she has a mental illness. Makes more sense, but not a great theory video

I have very few memories of this show but one thing that I remember was in one Christmas special Swiper to put on the naughty list, so since he had no more motivation to be good when the heroes tried using the “Swiper no swiping” strategy he just turned to them and said “that doesn’t work anymore.” As five year old me, I was thinking “thing just got serious.”

Hey, you know, I've got a theory. Before Dora was the protagonist in her game, Boots used to be the protagonist. The game seemed to be a normal game before, until Swiper was corrupted by a spirit. Before Dora got sucked into the game, she was a normal human, always playing the game Boots the Explorer (I call it that because I believe Boots used to be the protagonist.) But then the spirit that corrupted Swiper sucked Dora into the game, turned her into a protagonist, and renamed the game to Dora the Explorer. Boots has now became a companion to Dora. And that, I think, was the dark origins of Dora the Explorer. But hey, that's just a theory, my Film Theory!

I've barely seen any Dora, yet I've seen enough about the show to know that Swiper and Dora are actually friends, and that the whole "Swiper, no swiping" thing is a game. After all, Swiper doesn't steal the things, he just hides them lazily to create another game for Dora to play instead of just taking whatever he stole for himself. They have often helped each other when they need it, and actually do get along.

[@PokefanSans]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was one episode where swiper got stuck in a bottle and Dora and Boots weren't even slightly hesitant to help him out. I don't think a lot of people would be that willing to help out demon that "torture" them.

I never realized the show was presented like an old school point-and-click adventure game. I thought that the floating cursor was just a normal thing in the show's universe.

Dora is a character I’ve always thought was weird. On another note, I’ve always thought Tigger from Winnie the Pooh was strange too, especially the part about him happily singing that “the most wonderful thing about tigers is I’m the only one”, in a world where there is usually only one of each kind of character (except for Roo and Kanga)? It’s one thing to sing about personal uniqueness but that line raises a lot of questions once you start thinking about it? Also, you wonder if his physical description is canonically intended to be literal or metaphorical? A stuffed animal made of rubber and springs? I think I remember Christopher Robin acknowledges they are stuffed animals because didn’t he sew Pooh’s stitching back at some point?
