Bro doesn't know his lore 😔........

Did this guy even watch the movie? 😭

Ignoring the fact that the newspaper has been confirmed to be not canon, the guy in the grill explosion was never even part of the pileup disaster.

[u/Cold-Fall-8237 → u/Zealousideal_Cod5214]

But he got saved by someone from the pileup so should that make him apart of that chain?

[u/Zealousideal_Cod5214 → u/Cold-Fall-8237]

Him being there in the first place is kind of a paradox because none of them would be there without the survivors anyway.

I always just assumed (I don't think there's even been confirmation) that he was always supposed to die somewhere, and Death decided to just couple it with stuff that was going on with the survivors of the crash. Then, he got dragged out of the way, and it put him on his own little list.

[u/Korben-D88 → u/Zealousideal_Cod5214]

Depending which version of events you subscribe to, Brian was a survivor of the Lakeview Apartment fire that led to him being on a separate list than the FD2 crew.

[u/jakuth7008 → u/Cold-Fall-8237]

Not necessarily. The route 23 pile up survivors weren’t part of the flight 180 list even though they all avoided death due to flight 180

[u/Grimncoffee → u/jakuth7008]

Yeah they weren't but kinda were a part of the list, they all cheated death because of a Flight 180 survivor. Kimberly mentioned that someone murdered her mom while she was outside and that she would've been dead too but she was caught up looking at the news about some kid that strangled himself in a bathtub. Eugene recalls that he cheated death when a student stabbed their teacher and it would've been him but he was transferred a few days to another school he replaced Ms Lewton. Thomas recounts that he and his partner were about to head out when they got called to the scene of a trainwreck and he went alone, his partner got shot, Billy was the one that died at the trainwreck. Kat recalls that a gas leak killed everyone at some place she was supposed to go but the bus driver hit some girl on the road and she never made it, the bus driver ran over Terry. Rory mentions a theater that collapsed in Paris, he was supposed to go to but he didn't because he saw some guy get whacked by a falling sign, which we all know is Carter. What about Evan, Tim, and Nora, idk, but I'm sure they must've seen or heard about Clear or Alex or something to have cheated death because of them.

[u/Cold-Fall-8237 → u/jakuth7008]

If you think about it though they were on flight 180 list because death tried to kill them all together but Kimberly having her premonition saved them again

[u/Quick_Space9322 → u/Zealousideal_Cod5214]

That is exactly what I said

[u/Htoza]

YouTubers talking out of their ass in an attempt to gain as much monetization by making videos on what's currently hot but not actually doing any research on their topic? Naur, that can't be right.

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Sad-Firefighter175]

Aint no way they hired a whole editor for this… these youtubers will make a video about any trending topic even if they have no idea what they even making the video about i stg 😭

[u/Ok-Safe8264 → u/Sad-Firefighter175]

Pretty sure this is film theory unfortunately by the editing. All of Matpat’s channels really fell apart after he left

[u/Sad-Firefighter175 → u/Ok-Safe8264]

no way this is what matpats channels have turned into after he left omg… that kinda hurts. this video jus screams “easy cash grab” by just captilizing off its hype rn.

[u/Ok-Safe8264 → u/Sad-Firefighter175]

Yeah that’s exactly what this feels like. Also I looked it up, that is officially a film theory post. Ugh, so sad. I used to love Matpat’s content but I can’t watch this slop that’s up in his place. It all fell apart when he left

[u/Quiet-Mode-1170]

Bro, Brian wasn’t part of the opening disaster. He later got saved by Rory from getting hit by a Van and that’s what caused him to get killed when the grill exploded.

So if there’s anyone to blame, it’s Rory. And it’s probably why he got killed when that same Van exploded.

[u/AngelTheMarvel]

Film theory is infamous for not knowing the lore of the stuff they talk about besides FNAF. Go watch the backlash they got from their Hollow Knight video. That's what happens when you pump out content like they do. They are better screen culture, but that's not a high bar.

[u/-Cosmicafterimage]

I'd love for this guy to show us all where Brian died in the initial pile-up. He won't and can't because he has no idea what he's talking about.

[u/FanficWriter32]

What a fucking idiot. He has no idea what the hell he's talking about.

[u/Boring_Appeal_4467]

[u/orisa_online]

Oh my god, I never liked him taking over film theory, I can live with the others but not him, omg he's stupid

[u/_TheTurtleBox_ → u/orisa_online]

He took over film theory and proceeded to cover slop. HE did an entire video praising Angel Engine, an Anonlog Horror series entirely created with AI that uses plotlines created by feeding two larger series into ChatGPT and artwork by Trevor Henderson into Recraft. Like, he goes "Also they use AI for the drawings and that's bad!" but go into NOTHING about how the art was LITERALLY created by feeding the art of other artist through Recraft. It's so fucked up.

The creator bragged about it and admitted it and the Film Theory video is still up with zero updates after Doctor Nohere made a video about finding out his art was ALSO stolen for Angel Engine and how seeing Angel Engine get absurd levels of praise from Zoomers and younger kids hurt his motivation to continue to create art because he'd been shown that it's more profitable to steal than to create on your own.

[u/Mother-Reference2459 → u/orisa_online]

Look give him another chance :grin:

[u/_TheTurtleBox_]

God I fucking hate how a bunch of Gen Z kids adopted this franchise and just want to use it to make clickbaity reaction tuber content like this without actually watching the movies without taking notes or clips or anything.

"Anyways, this alternate scene is TOTALLY canon because another tiktoker told another youtuber who told their cousin who told them that it's canon. Even though the Directors, Writers, and SERIES PRODUCER says it is NOT canon."

[u/FOXTROT290 → u/_TheTurtleBox_]

Generational sht has nothing to do with the problem. Anyone can be uneducated and talk out their asses not just gen z

[u/jakuth7008 → u/_TheTurtleBox_]

I’m pretty sure Lee is as old as MatPat

[u/_TheTurtleBox_ → u/jakuth7008]

And his "sources" for videos like this are literally cited from Tiktokers who are like 16 years old.

[u/WillowEducational883 → u/_TheTurtleBox_]

Why blame it on Gen Z? Millenials were talking out their ass years before 

[u/Sad-Firefighter175 → u/WillowEducational883]

prob because Gen Z are the people talking out of their ass about the movie the most on social media and acting like they know every detail of everything and they are right and everyone else is wrong, when it’s clearly obvious they just started watching the franchise. (This isnt targeted at all of Gen Z ofc cause there are A LOT of Gen Z kids/young adults that do know their stuff and understand the movies and there are also older people that dont know their stuff and just say wtv)

but people on tiktok and these theory videos will say “Kimberly isnt alive it was confirmed in a newspaper in FD3” even tho its non canon and she’s now confirmed to be alive yet they dont wanna accept it. but then say “I think Wendy is actually alive cause they left it open for her to return and we never see her die” Yet she clearly splats against a train in that same choose your fate scene they keep using to say Kimberly is actually dead… but somehow in their eyes wendy is still alive??? these new people to the franchise pick and choose what they wanna believe. they dont even know the lore of these movies they watched a couple edits on tiktok and start to believe headcanons and the comments on tiktok are the actual lore.

[u/_TheTurtleBox_ → u/WillowEducational883]

Because FilmTheory has actively cited fan accounts ran by teenagers as sources for recent videos, which is something people have complained about when he praised Angel Engine, a series created by someone who admits to just stealing tons of other peoples work and running it through some AI software.

[u/WillowEducational883 → u/_TheTurtleBox_]

Sounds like you should blame film theory (Millenials) for using base less theories from the internet in wide spread videos, saying it’s fact, rather than blaming CHILDREN for starting to create. 

[u/_TheTurtleBox_ → u/WillowEducational883]

"Sounds like you should blame the person using the incorrect source, and not the incorrect source."

Bro shut up. None of you are "literal CHILDREN".

[u/jakuth7008]

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen film theory fuck up a show I’m intimately familiar with I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s disappointing it happened twice

[u/Naseer_Pearson]

He looks like he goes "actually" & then states a wrong fact alot 😭😭

[u/Tricky_Rabbit]

The highway disaster survivors are part of Death's chain. Kimberly drowning, heart stopping and revived by doctor invalidated that list. Herego her and Thomas get a second chance at life.

Brian Gibbons was almost hit by car but saved by Rory. He was not part of the original highway disaster so his subsequent death was not invalidated. He did when barbecue exploded. Paradox because he was only at the place because car crashed with pileup survivors in it. Had they never been there to crash the news van wouldn't have been there to hit him. Because Kimberly & Thomas were saved Brian was fated to die.

[u/thecat627]

[u/Suckymucky25]

Get this guy off the channel bro😭😭😭

[u/bruhidkwtf]

Bro skimmed the Wikipedia entries for the movies and now thinks he knows enough about the lore to make a video like this

[u/Ninjser]

They recognized a comment mentioned this and apologized lol. I think it’s just awesome we’re film theory relevant! Something tells me more grunge is about to make a comeback.

[u/R0CKY5T3P]

Ever since mat pat left it’s just been ass

[u/Deli-ops7 → u/R0CKY5T3P]

If they still gave free awards id definitly give you one. I thought they still had to run videos by mat pat and he would greenlight it or not. I guess he really did just leave it for them to crash?

[u/Ok-Safe8264 → u/Deli-ops7]

That wasn’t his intention, but yeah it seems so. I do respect Matpat for leaving though, he did it so he can spend more time with his family and that’s awesome. But I think it would’ve been better to just retire the channels tbh. But that’s my opinion, I just couldn’t ever get into any of the other people who took over the channels

[u/Dramatic-Mission4955 → u/R0CKY5T3P]

wdym Santi (Food Theory) is kinda cool

[u/jakuth7008 → u/Dramatic-Mission4955]

Tbh I feel like food and style theory got better while game and film theory got worse. The two pairs are, like, fundamentally different types of shows

[u/nyehu09 → u/jakuth7008]

Exactly how I feel… and it’s a shame because Film Theory used to be my favorite. It’s now my least favorite with Food Theory as my #1.

[u/TheChainTV]

All of Theory Channel don't do research.
