I can't even comprehend the size of the bag that mattpatt got for this sponsor. very proud of our matty boy.
@YeaMan okay bot
Broo in food theory he got sponsored by Google
@@pran_irl yeah but that was only like a 1 minute ad max, while this entire video is about there game
23 minutes and 41k THATS INSANE
@@pran_irl when he was talking about the mandela catalogue, he was also sponsored by google, and throughout the whole video he mentioned the sponsorship
In some myths,dragons could take human form so they likely couldn't be tamed as they were intelligent
MeatCanyon@ the reason why you are retarded.
Nah
E
What is taming but just Diplomacy for creatures with lesser intelligence?
@@myersa80 Go ahead. Try to put a saddle on me. See how diplomatic I'll be. 🐲🔥
Love how MatPat used the T-rex intelligence for the dragon (who he put into the category of lizard) but ignored the fact that more tank likely the Roc who is a bird is closer in relation to the T-Rex than any lizard is. lol
A lot of myths of dragons originated from skulls of t-rex and similar dinos, so it makes sense
Except almost all mythological depictions of dragons have them as intelligent.
@@shaylethorne2387 historical sources we have about dragons differ on whether dragons are intelligent or not because "dragon" is used as a catch-all word for monsters similar to "ogre" or "goblin"
Right! This was my first thought how did miss that. MatPat is losing his touch
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle historical?? dragons never existed my guy
Talking about training bears to fight wars I was expecting a reference to Private Wojtek. An brown bear that actually served as a soldier in an artillery company in WW2. It's a fascinating story.
Whole episode seemed a bit half assed, maybe Matpat and the team weren't feeling it as it was sponsored and the whole video being based around the game no one probably played.
Love these goofy but legitimate theories for April Fools
Congratulations, you have 3 bots in like three minutes
Wow too many bots.. this will be the top comment soon i feel so bad
They’re almost always goofy I’d say
Hi
E
It's hard to tell when it's an April fool's video, cause all game theory videos are this crazy
E
MatPat might take April Fools as serious as his Theories
I honestly would’ve given an extra point to the Thunder Roc and the Dragon, considering that they could fly so their battle versatility was definitely up there
Dinosaurs were warm blooded. You cannot conclude dragons would be cold blooded. Also, considering their association with fire, that would be a really strange thematic choice.
Even on april fools, all of Matpat's theorys are still believable
E
@YeaMan that’s what a bit would say
@@EEEEEEEE E
Fr tho
MatPat is always one something when he makes his April Fools theories…
E
When calculating the food needs did you take the bear hibernating into account? I’m not sure how much it’ll change but I’m curious
Fun fact: Wojtek (pronounced Voytek) was a brown bear bought, as a young cub, by Polish II Corps soldiers who had been evacuated from the Soviet Union. In order to provide for his rations and transportation, he was eventually enlisted officially as a soldier with the rank of private, and was subsequently promoted to corporal. Wojtek helped move crates of ammunition during the battles.
One thing that you didn't really take into account is whether or not they could fly. I feel like flying is a big bonus in combat. Ranged attacks are also a big bonus. The dragon could fly and rain fire down on their enemies with their only threat really being other flying creatures or ranged attacks. I think it would outweigh their upkeep cost since both the Roc and the Bear would be in danger of melee weapons, while the Dragon wouldn't be.
Why would the roc, the thunder eagle, a flying creature, be subject to Melee attacks?
I mean unless you're counting "thrown rocks" as Melee, I seem to be missing something
Yeah, tactical use of the critters is left out in this vid, and the dragons does have the most advantages here. Though i think you underestimate how much damage a gigantic bear could take from medieval tiny enemies. Most arrows and spears wouldn't have the tip to get through all the fur, thick skin and fat, they would need special weapons to take down the bear or dragon, although the wings of both the Roc and Dragon would be a big vulnerable target...
In the real world eagles are able to fight and hold their own against animals like mountain goats and wolves.
@@williamklemp3764 Unless the Roc has its own ranged attacks, then it would have to fly into melee to be able to attack anything. Yeah, it could stay outside of melee, but then it wouldn't actually be doing anything to help in battle. The Dragon, on the other hand, has fire breath, which could be used to attack targets without getting close enough for the enemy to attack them with melee weapons
@@ChrisHeinking send it up with bombs. Doesn't need to get anywhere near the ground bruv. Hell it could probably just take a fistful of spears and make it rain lol
The episode being called dragon vs bears and somehow they both lost... its amazing
Its like the fable with the bear and the lion fighting to see who gets to eat the goat
and then the fox (hear thunder roc) comes in and takes it
I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!
Love getting to hear members on the team do voiceovers. Also love how you do sponsored ads
The thing with a rate at which birds lay eggs isn't just about the size of the bird, but prevalence of predators also plays a factor. Case in point: The Dodo. According to a podcast I listened to recently, because there were no predators to them before European explorers showed up, they only laid one egg per year. When the explorers showed up and their dogs and other animals decided those eggs were tasty, those birds went the way of the... well, you know.
Anyways, I can't imagine the roc having to worry much about any predators, so I imagine their egg laying rate would be even lower than you anticipate. Perhaps as few as one every two or three years. And this is in addition to a likely long period from hatchling to able to produce its own offspring.
About training a bear: there has been at leat one case where a adult bear was trained without the classic fear method. I WW2 some polish soilders bought a bear from some locals and it joined their unit, later even carring some atillery shells and being oficially joined into the army. So it has to be possible
Wojtek! He was even promoted a few times, very important comrade
I would say the food consumption section might be a bit off, as animals typically have a lower metabolic rate by comparison to their size as the body is required to be more efficient. Like how a lot of marine animals in the abyssopelagic and hadal zones are massive creatures that only need to eat a small amount each month to survive(though not that active), or other large mammals like whales/dolphins(which are more active).
Ye I agree
I like how you can tell when a company is going around sponsoring all the youtubers
MatPat, dragons are widely considered (for a mythology creature, anyway) to be endothermic, not ectothermic. While some may fare worse in colder environments (as is the case with all endothermic life), some (especially ones based on fire abilities be it breathing fire or magic etc) are plenty capable of whitstanding the coldest environments that humans can survive in.
i’ve always wanted a pet dragon as a kid. Maybe i should’ve rethought that decision… still, great video!!
I thoroughly enjoy these wacky yet credible theories for April Fools, as they offer a refreshing and entertaining take on conventional notions
I must admit I am also obsessed with this game!
Its got a great story and cinematics which is rare for a mobile game, and its just great to play. I'm not great at strategy games but I'm having fun 😉
I think matpat is the only one to actually get me to install a game and make it seem so enthralling
It may be April Fools day, but the theory hits hard as always
I love the channel as a whole to this day but I miss these kinds of wacky theories lol
Theory idea. How much power is needed to stop a lynal charge. (In breath of the wild you can parry a charging lynal and I want to know how much power thar would take to do in real life, or if link shatters into bone fragments.
0:43 “I have over 5 million power!”
"Having a big monstrous lizard breathing fire everywhere isn't the best tactical decision"
meanwhile, Hiccup: *"I TAMED 100S OF DRAGONS"*
also the roc was actually based on the extinct elephant bird from madagascar. it was flightless but when marco polo saw the largest eggs (period, from any creature that ever lived) he assumed they must come from birds large enough to take down elephants (or he wanted to flex)
Hey MatPat, Have you heard about the ARG called Welcome Home? It might be worth looking into. It about puppets.
Oh no, more puppets, more ARGs, more FNAF references galore!
Matpat mentioning the Hannibal Story...
"The thing that makes it all worth it is the look on the face of the guy stationed at a Roman Watchtower looking up north at the alps. Probably hasn't seen anything come over there his entire life. Suddenly there's a giant army, and a bunch of big, grey, stampeding monsters with Spears on their face. And he would've been pretty freaked out." - OSP Blue
Fun Fact: In Wings of Fire, the average Sandwing (desert dragon) needs only a small lizard for a meal to last it 3 days. Also Mudwings (swamp dragon) lay about 6 eggs per group since they attack in sibling groups. And these dragons have the intelligence of a human.
but wings of fire is book series of sentient dragons taht are the apex predators the game call of dragons is different
Fellow FanWing!
Take into account that you can also just feed the corpses of your enemies (and allies too) to the monsters so you can feed them in the go
But how will you feed the dragons durring peacetime? Factory farming?
@@agsilverradio2225 nobility and royalty can always ignore rules and stuff and just feed the dragons criminals, pretenders to their thrones, political "inconviniences" you know stiff like that
I'm really liking the increase of Dragon content.
I love the “well it worked really well in this game right here soooooo, you’re wrong”
Theory idea: who would win in an eating contest, Godzilla or Kirby?
@@BLUEBOYISLEDGE mat should do video of merge Manson pie and lies☝️
Love it when MatPat reminds us he’s a high soprano
9:27 can we just talk about how beautiful that soprano was?
Fr
Matpat always making it entertaining
Yay! I love two theory videos in a day ❤
From style to game, just great content all around
When he talked about the Carthyan general Hannibal, I actually felt smart for once
Once again matpat did not disappoint (I was wondering if you could do a Welcome Home theory?)
I like how Matt forgot that you could feed your enemies to your giant monster. Doesn't have to be cows.
*applauds* Wonderful video MatPat, the excitement you had throughout the video was extra enjoyable ^^ Here's to the Thunder Roc, for as long as they shall rule the skies.
I thought this was going to be a hunger games like video with each behemoth fighting each other, until there was only one left. However, I am not disappointed since this was still very interesting to watch. Great work everyone!
I got an ad for this WITH A PICTURE OF A MASSIVE BEAR FIGHTING A DRAGON AT THE END
Definitely want that sequel theory
Speaking of Rocs, you should really do a Game/Flim Theory on D&D Rocs. They’re massive, bigger then most aircraft, and are known to hunt dragons and carry off ships and carriages to their nests. I’d love to know if they could actually fly, and if so, how big of an object they could actually carry, like an actual massive wooden ship.
honestly expecting a dragon themed food theory now cause of the dragon themed episodes on game and film
Bro made the best add for this game I have seen and convenes me to get the game. One of the best promotions to a sponsor I have seen.
Love this episode, mostly cause I got an ad about the game itself while watching it.
Apologies for changing the subject, but do you think you can do a game theory on 'Welcome Home'? It's an ARG in which it first looks like a site trying to resufiace an old show that looks similar to the Muppets, but there is more than meets the eye in this colorful website.
I love how Dappermr.Tom voices the character at the beggining!
I suggest this: what if the behemoths were eating the troops you fought against? Would help a ton. After all we’re not talking about game mechanics but rather if they were real.
I’m so glad I got an ad for call of dragons on this video sponsored by call of dragons entirely about call of dragons like I haven’t heard of it already
May pay should do a theory on the clones from the animated series “clone wars” about their bad aim and how they don’t take cover but stand out in the open
that prehistoric bear you found lines up pretty closely to the lore and size of the main antagonist of splatoon 3. you should absolutely do a splatoon theory !!
Matt is one of the few TH-camrs who can make me not watch sponsored videos
what
Do you mean "that can make me watch sponsored videos"?
@@JustAHuman101 no
@@JustAHuman101 no
I played this game since yesterday, i saw the title and thumbnail, and thought: 'Nah, it can't be. Is this Call of Dragons?'
I love how they got Tom to do the voice of the museum curator 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matpat never fails to make a theory about the most random of things
"Dragons are reptiles and thus are cold blooded."
Pterosaurs would like to have a word with you Matt Patt.
They are all clearly related to frogs. Duhhh
Dragons are typically serpentine. Therefore it's more accurate to compare them to snakes.
@@SCP.343 I got two responses for yea...
First: You never watched Jerassic Park??!???!?!??!?!???!?!!?!?
@@SCP.343 Second: Dragons are typically Fictional... And Lizards is the word you want, if you care to have any kind of logic behind your words atleast.
Try to seem like you know what you are talking about, at the bare minimum lol!
@@jordanekl5383 first: I have seen Jurassic Park, outside of your reply, I don't see any connection to anything being discussed. Second: have you never read any Epic Poems, myths or fantasy stories? Dragons are serpents. Try to sound like you know what you're talking about.
0:51 oh, thank God I thought you were about to talk about a sponsor😂😅😅😊❤❤❤
I have an video idea. BoneLab! I would love to see how you would piece the lore of this game together!
I don't know what channel this would go on, probably Game Theory, but I'd love to see a theory on the Welcome Home ARG
If the cold open was a serious question how much food would a dragon eat Versus how strong of a medieval kingdom do you need to feed that dragon
GT you should do a video on Creeper World 4. It has lore stacked into it and it even has a "Lore" achievment.
MattPatt, you should do a theory on Sons of the Forest and The Forest. I am so interested in what you can find.
Damn it mat! A video on animal ecology that actually made me want to try the game. GG game devs, G friggen G
This has to single handily be the greatest sponsor in the entire channels history
@Vivziерор shorts 🅥 dont even try
Game Theory idea. How powerful is Mario's stomp? It can squish turtle shells.
Another great theory guys, very random as always
I'd give the dragon a field point as well. Dragons, usually, breath fire by igniting gas from within. It's logical to think they can use this to warm up in cold climate. Also, although a dragon IS a lizard, it's warm (maybe hot) blooded one' i mean, you don't get to breath fire without being veeeery hot all inside your body.
That isn't what is meant by being warm blooded. Warm-blooded (endothermic) animals are those, like mammals and birds, that produce their own body heat through their metabolism. Cold-blooded animals (ectothermic) require outside sources of heat, like basking, to regulate their body temperature. You are correct though that a lizard that could breath fire could likely regulate their body temperature by warming up next to a fire they generated with their breath. An ectothermic dragon could still likely do that.
bird roc "can we hear what the roc is cooking" hehe
Right before this video I got an ad for Call of dragons
Matt is one of the few TH-camrs who can make me watch sponsored videos
Why Are You Everywhere...
I actually wonder when matpat runs outta theories to do
It's kind of interesting to learn that there was a guy called Hannibal that brought elephants to war. I should point out that in my rpg I'm playing they actually have something called a war Mammoth no kidding. It has a cannon on its back and it's fully armored. This is if Manny was seriously not taking any BS
I'm reminded of the Film Theory from a few years back on the How to Train Your Dragon franchise that said dragons weren't actually trainable.
Cool theory but one issue I have is with the pixel measurements when you didn’t account for the fact that the dragon is a fair distance away from the heroes and is therefore much larger than it appears, so your calculations were likely off due to that fact
I also had a bit of a record scratch moment when he said that the scientist from Vanerbuilt University calculated the density of the neurons in a t-rex brain. LIke, where would you even begin to do such a thing? It's not like there are a ton of dino brains to cut open and compare. Unless you're also starting with a ton of assumptions.
Can't wait for the extinction event to be in the game
Imagine getting an ad for Call of Dragons on a video about Call of Dragons
Got an add for call of dragons at the start of the video and then matpat gives me another lol
Dragons are extinct. Bears aren’t. Any more questions?
This is the kind of Game Theory video I've been missing! Just a fun theory with science stuff. Weird lore deep dives have never been my thing.
I love it!
Matpat just made a whole video as an ad . . . And I love it
You have to do a video on if exploding zombies in almost every game could happen
Have you ever considered doing a theory decoding the lore of the FAITH trilogy, a really cool atari style set of games by Airdorf Games? They would also make a fantastic play through on GT live :)
Fun fact from your local Vertebrate Zoologist: Birds ... are reptiles (yes, this is true biologically birds are considered reptiles with highly modified scales), and the Tyrannosaurus Rex Mat uses as an example towards lizard intelligence is much more closely related to birds than other reptiles.
Interesting. Would you mind sharing what you do? I am a scientist myself, by training if not yet by career and am taking my masters degree in environmental science. My undergrad was the same with minors in biology, chemistry, and communications. My occupational history is somewhat less interesting.
@mentaya11 That's very cool! It's nice to meet another bio nerd, I'm currently working as a teacher's assistant in the Vertebrate Zoology lab at my college and am majoring in Biology and Veterinary Science.
@@janeoathdragon5793 Sweet. I'm working as a TA in an Environmental Science lab, though I havn't had much to do yet. Looking forward to getting to teach a bit more. Just finished up with Biometrics and Applied Regression on the half semesters and have my final for Environmental Policy and Regulation tomorrow.
It would be so cool if you did a theory on the new ARG "Welcome home"!
I've always wondered if a squirl could beat a tiger if they were the same size.
Major Error 1: You compared the dragon (lizard) to a t-rex despite the fact that Birds are much closer to the T-rex than lizards.
Major Error 2: When doing the pixel measurement on the dragon you failed to account for distance, that dragon should be around 1.5x bigger.
exactly, he like compared a lizard that like split off around 200 million years ago instead of the literal theropod dinosaur
this looks to be a goofy one looking forward to it
Matpat! You know what would be a great thing to do! MAKE YOUR OWN THING WITH YOUR OWN LORE
I bet MatPats gonna do a Welcome Home Video,Digging into the websites and Stuff
Matpat has the ability to make theories on things that weren't even intended to have any lore
i like how energetic he is about the game. shows how much he likes it
I, too, could fake enthusiasm for a fat paycheck 😂
Bro turned an entire sponsorship into a full on game theory video.
Thank you Mat-Pat, you are the are the reason that i am gonna make videos soon. I will be sure to Thank you in them. You are the TH-cam man
Big stretch to say that a creature that breathes fire would be cold-blooded.
Why? Cold blooded has nothing to do with the temperature of the blood. Cold-blooded animals, or ectotherms, are unable to produce internal body heat, and must find outside sources of heat to keep warm. This leads to some reptiles basking on rocks to soak up the suns' rays. Endotherms, warm-blooded animals, like humans, can produce their own heat through metabolizing their food. This requires a larger food intake to regulate their body temperature when they are in cold environs. But if you were to measure the body temperature of the animal, the cold-blooded animal would have a similar temperature to the outside weather, which can be quite hot. The breathing of fire seems, at least to me, to have little to do with it. In fact, a fire-breathing ectotherm might be able to gain body heat by creating a fire to warm itself by. That said most reptiles are ectotherms, while birds and mammals are both endotherms. It's a fairly safe bet to guess a dragon might be ectothermic, though it isn't certain.
Big stretch to say a flying animal is cold-blooded
