Marvel Strike Force is an EPIC game with all of our favorite heroes! When playing through the game, I was amazed at the huge roster of supers.

I think you really missed this one. Based on your information from the beginning of the video on hoe Ultimus does his dimension takeover, it really sounds like the assembled heroes and villans are under a mind control. Merlyn works for this theory without a doubt but there would be a much better plot if you the player are Ultimus and have crossed over a bunch of already wiped heroes and villans. Maybe he has already taken the multiverse and is now just toying with it to see how trife he was at first ya’know how villans work.

I got this as an ad a few minutes ago, was watching another vid and heard Mats voice, I laughed so hard😂

[@Kaspertje]

That intro was amazing

[@hopeheart7694]

When he said Merlyn, I thought. "Which one?..." once he explained it, based off what I know on the comics. (I am a marvel fanatic, being 15 and grown up seeing every single Marvel Movie in the time line. I make theories and find as many old marvel comics I can.) Once he explained it I was like. "Oh ya that guy who saved the world a couple times even in ure universe of magic stuff. Sweet, bout time he came in." To be honest it makes sence to bring him in NOW because people that use time travel powers is less far fetched as it is in the real marvel movies now. Edit: Also! Matpat it could be the daughter in the movie's Universe at this point. Changing how she died saving them from this villain in the next movie. Bringing him in to the Games timeline of why he picked to help and is getting all the versions of him to help this one thing. If there was a villain in my universe and other me's could help me. I would just have them all come at once and fix it all at once. A big emotional thing I think would make him want to do it in EVERY universe. Edit 2: It would also explain for people who play SOLO. That don't team up with other friend or universes. They probably didn't have their daughter killed or in the past at that time when they are teaming up. Still shows that they know what is happening at all times anyway and would stop it maybe before it happens. If not then that makes sence if course. Edit 3: I don't know WHY I am adding on to this when nobody has even liked it yet. Just thought I would put my head/thoughts in to this as well.

Game theory: this video was just a paid advertisment....

[@waluigistan7278]

I actually think it could be Stan Lee, sort of. There's a theory that Stan Lee is a character in the MCU, not actually Stan Lee though. I don't remember where I found the theory, but it makes sense. The character is called Uatu the Watcher, a character existing in every universe, as he shows up in every spiderman franchise. He can travel through time and space, showing up in Captain Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy, and as previously mentioned, each Spiderman franchise. He has magical powers, being part of the group of watches in Guardians of the Galaxy, all of which were paying attention to him, despite being part of a much more advanced race. Unless he is one of them. Believe whatever you want, that just comes across as something that could work in my eyes. There might be holes, I'm not sure. Thanks for reading! :)

is it bad that i just instantly knew this was sponsored because nobody would naturally do a video on this game?

No,you are totally right.The game is in a terrible shape and i guess this is their way to get at least some positive publicity!

Wai Chan there’s a lot of characters that are infinite and omniversal. He literally just picked someone and ran with it. This advertisement is worthless and our time is wasted.

[@lilsavage9946]

@@chameleonard95 no, merlyn is the only one that makes sense. The grandmaster and collector don't make sense because. 1. He can't freely communicate with other versions of himself 2. Why would the grandmaster want to help shield? 3. And why would villains and heroes blindly cooperate with him?

Hey MatPat! I’ve been subscribed and have been watching your content for countless years now. From the days of the old disc and arrow intro to now, yet I’ve never commented. It hasn’t really been a feature I’ve used all that often, but I wanted to see if you had any interest in doing an “Outer Worlds” theory on what happened to Earth in that game and if, in fact, it and Fallout New Vegas are in the same universe. The DLC was recently announced so interest in the game will be swelling up soon. Let me know what you think and as always keep up the amazing work!

[@FatherSquirn]

They actually used your video as an ad. Went to watch a new video today and thought I accidentally clicked on yours because of it..

[@copperthedragon870]

Hey Mat Pat, I have this theory that I thought you would find fascinating, the game Super Mario Land. Throughout the gameplay(mostly in Muda), you can find space ships, from the Star gazer invasion(that's what I call Tatangas Race). At the ending right before the credits, Mario and Daisy enter a hovercraft like ship. Showing possibly the country has already adapted the alien technology. In super mario odyssey, people speculate that the nameless landmass left to the Mushroom kingdom is Sarasaland. If this is true, it shows that Sarasaland could practice Isolationism, wanting to keep the technology secret, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. That's why people do know about Sarasaland, it's just they don't have permission to enter the country. Sarasaland could be the most powerful country in the mario universe, preparing for the next Star gazer Invasion. I hope you like this theory!

Hey, MatPat, I noticed in Fnaf that you are struggling with the three toed footprint in the midnight driver scene. Dreadbear and the toys have three toes. Think about that.

They reskined Raid: Shadow Legends. Remember when youtubers were shilling that every video. This is likely the same. I dont say that to rag on MatPat, just pointing out. GameTheorists need to pay their bills. Play the game if you want to, just remember sponsored content and all.

[@IcyyDNA]

I think mat pat should do a game theory on Horizon Zero Dawn, it’s a game based on a post-post apocalyptic world that has been over run by machines that behave like animals. Tribes rule against each other and you play an abandoned baby named alloy who goes through the game to find information about her mother. crazyyyy stuff happens after that but I won’t spoil it to anyone reading, still there are a bunch of questions to be answered and it’s super interesting. Okay HAVE A GREAT DAYY. :)
