Did you ever expect me to cover Kung Fu Panda? Loyal Theorists, never doubt the extents I will go to for a theory. Today, we are getting to the center of Kung Fu Panda's biggest question - why is Po the Dragon Warrior? Now I know we can just say because the plot says so, but I am a man of science and overanalysis! There has to be a logical explanation of why this panda is the chosen one. It turns out, I was right! Let's dig in!

Imagine Oogway thought about all of this in the split second he raised his finger
Oogway: Bmi - CHECK
COLOR - CHECK
MASSIVE FAN BOY? - CHECK
YEP DEFINITELY DRAGON WARRIOR MATERIAL
Zbro4u2play GD Or maybe, “The universe has brought us the Dragon Warrior.” - Oogway shouting to everyone after he declared Po the dragon warrior. So, unless the universe is his brain or something then I think he just went with flow and allowed the universe to bring him the proper choice. After all, there are spirits and energies in this universe that could affect the impact.
Zam 440
Smart guy that Oogway
@@HelloHamburger excellent write up
Oogway picking the dragon warrior from the furious five, he thinks to himself. "Hmmm which of you is the fattest? Hmmmmmm" *po lands in front of him* "oh thank God"
lol
XD
lol🤣🤣🤣
Okay that got laugh out of me
🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else here from the new film theory episode
Ayeeee
Ayeeeeee
Yea I’m here from there
🤫🧏
Ayeeee
And what makes this even more poetic is that Po is the one who originally, “accidentally”, assembled the Furious Five without any of them realizing it. It was a self fulfilling prophecy, he set himself up to eventually become the Dragon Warrior. It was always meant to be him.
thank gosh i saw this comment bcs i was thinking THE EXACT SAME THING!!! i just finished watching all of the kung fu panda series along w the extra ones. Secrets of the Scroll was just the cherry on top after watching kfp3
Well not Technically true, because in the 3rd film IF this theory was posted BEFORE the film came out is that the real reason why he was chosen NOT because of he was JUST the Dragon Warrior, is because he can use chi since he is a panda and its his destiny to use chi to become the Dragon Warrior which why Oogway chosen Po to be his successor and NOT one of the Furious Five especially Tigress
POEtic lol
@@heyoitslitty2689 didn’t he also fight a chi dragon ? I sorta remember that
@@bubblemonkeysno he became a chi dragon
It's very simple: Po backwards is O.P.
I never saw that
Ha true dat
DONT LEAVE ME
Ooooooooooooooooooh myyyyyy gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
WUTTtTt
BTW check my image and hit sub
The real question: is why didn’t Cinderella shoe disappear
I agree
Because every thing was already there for her ( her dress, her hair, ect) but the slippers were a gift and she got to keep them.
Dall_thesloth what about the dress? That was a gift
@@thatvideogamenerd887 probably because she took it off I think that she has to have it on to disappear sorry for my bad English
yukine owo then the glass shoe would disappear since it was off
The line where PO says "but it could never hurt more than it did every day of my life just being me" as someone who still has issues with body image, this hit so hard. Him overcoming that and beating the bad guy was pretty encouraging.
I really like the themes of the three Kung Fu panda movies, the first one is about chasing your dream and reaching the goal, Second movie is about some of his Past trauma and that you don't need to be the physical parent to love your child and the third about meeting his real parents and finding the balance + having now a bigger family that cares about him.
Fun fact.
Asian dragons are considered to be a fusion of animals.
The head of a stag, the mane of a lion/tiger, the body of a snake (or turtle in some iteratioms), the legs of an eagle and the scales of a fish.
Dragons in asia are literaly a unification of beings.
Their place in mythogie is also as guardians, both of knowledge and the gods themselves.
So the dragon style being a combination of all other styles makes perfect sense.
Just some mythology trivia.
So, Discord?
Thank you.
I do love myself some good ol’ mythology trivia
Cool fact
Thanks, nice fun fact
Matpat: "Why was Po chosen as the Dragon Warrior?"
Po: (Literally "fell out of the sky on a ball of fire".)
@Miles If only he remained dead
Miles bro tf this is not related at all.
@Miles frick u
Miles your words are holy (quite literally)but you just want clout
Miles, go to the church, not the random reply section
I've always seen Po's passion/fanboyness to Kung fu as his strength. Nobody in the movie was as passionate and excited as him.
fighting is all about learning yourself and others.
You don’t really have proof that they aren’t as passionate. Some people show excitement in different ways.
This is probably one of my favorite film theories. As fun as ‘the dark truth’ ones are I like the more fun and light hearted ones better.

"Why did Oogway choose Po in the 1st place?"
The dude did a perfect split and climbs the top cabinet 3 meter high with no training to get a hidden cookie, all the while getting beaten down and gets back up like it's nothing. Oh, and let's not forget how he casually absorbed Tai Lung's nerve attacks that 1H-KO the Furious Five immediately, and then GETS BACK UP AGAIN. And NOW, you question why Oogway wouldn't pick this beast of a tank?
Facts bro
He definitely is a bit of a tank. Far more athletic than anyone could have thought and a surprisingly iron will. Hes the best choice!!
did you watch the video? he covered that..
@@ehlauditore3932 i typed that before reaching that part
Harits Andhika Nugroho I don’t think Oogway really chose Po as the Dragon Warrior, he assumed that the universe would bring it to him.
As an overweight athlete, I’ve always loved this movie. I know it sounds dumb and cheesy, but it helped me accept myself and showed me to never assume what a person is capable of just by their appearance. Dedication and passion are way more important than being the “ideal body type” and Po never let anyone talk him down. Mad respect
I love that Po getting adopted by his goose Dad that feeds him as much dumplings and noodle soup as possible factors into his becoming the Dragon Warrior lol
“Are you theorizing son?”
-Dadpat, sometime in the future.
I would love to see Dadpat do that in Bread Boys style
“Yes, i have just deducted the reason why you are so addicted to diet coke and fnaf”
@@thefunnypotatoboy1081 "but remember, that's just a theory"

Report this man (Mot Goaiu)
Oogway: *sees Po fall from 1,000 feet in the sky* Holy crap, that was awesome! Forget the Furious Five, this panda is indestructible!
This gave me a great laugh I desperately need
LOL SO TRUE 🤣
The fact he survived meant he was probably the best match for kai as he deals mega damage
i laugh very hard when i read this comment :D
Lolololol
If you think about it Po is also the reason why the furious five got together in the first place.
that’s correct. in the story of how the Furious Five came together, Tigress accidentally took the wrong scroll that Shifu gave him. that scroll just so happens to be the one that Po made as he was brain storming ideas of what he wants to become, which comprised of cleaner(Crane), dancer(Viper), comedian(Monkey), and doctor(Mantis).
@@TheSoullessImmortal man, when did this happen?
@@vitulsrivastava2054
a few years prior to the main storyline
@@TheSoullessImmortal could you please elaborate which movie?
@@vitulsrivastava2054
Kung Fu Panda: Secrets Of The Scroll
It’s more of a short film connected to the Kung Fu Panda trilogy. I believe it’s also canon, but I may be wrong.
In Chinese mythology, the dragon is referenced as a heavenly animal. Sometimes, only the emperor is allowed to wear a design of dragons as the dragon is a symbol of power.
MatPat: "It's not really explained in the movies."
Also MatPat: *shows a scene explaining it from the third movie*

@@tantris2876 I don't understand how this happened either
“There are no accidents.”
@@byronmartinez9736 the only accident that ever happened was my birth
I got to learn about the creation of Kung Fu Panda. I want to introduce you guys to Grandmaster Chi-Chung “Simon” Kwong. He is one of the top traditional Chinese masters in North America. I was very lucky to have gotten to train under one of his students. He actually ran a Chinese restaurant for years when my teacher was younger and yes his food is absolutely amazing! Master Simon taught Dragon Tiger Eagle Wushu Kung fu. When talking about yin and Yang it stands for complete opposites and how they are even in the world. Push and pull, good and bad. Po shows he can be both focused and fun, lazy yet a hard worker. He’s a perfect student! Another fun fact! Master Simon’s son actually helped create Kung Fu Panda.
Here’s a video of master Simon actually! In this video he was hit, multiple times, in the gut by this solid led bar. We got random people watching to swing at him. He laughed. He broke a metal fold up chair with a flimsy plastic water bottles that come in a pack. He’s a wonderful man and I wanted to let you guys know about him. Also, Avatar the Last Air Bender is pretty accurate as well! m.th-cam.com/video/87RkxESjmfs/w-d-xo.html
Number 3: Why do all the animals in the show have CREEPY HUMAN TEETH?
This question is hilarious, honestly I think it's cool that the creators of the movie made the characters very detailed including small features like their well teeth or facial features
The real question his son is gonna ask
“Mommy, why does daddy spend so much time talking to himself in the closet?”
He'll soon be out of the closet 😂
“Mommy why does dad keeps on talking to the screen” matpat son in the future
he will never come out until the day he shall quit youtube
( not being mean or anything if you think that :| )
Dont worry son, he will come out once hes done his episode
😂
“More mass means a stronger punch”
“More mass allows you to absorb pain”
People working out: 👁👄👁
"So I'll be stopping now"
I mean he's got a point, have you seen the guys who compete in the strong men challenges? Those guys are hefty
That moment you eat takeout almost every day and still look skinny af
Yep but there’s mass to hit and catch
Suejung Han Lol
While watching this theory I noticed something in the body type section, which he got mostly correct. Other than one single attribute: speed. Like he said in the boxing example, force is mass x acceleration but we can actually re-position this equation so it’s acceleration is force divided by mass. Therefore, the more mass you have the harder it is to accelerate, a key component of any Solely running based sport.
One other bit of minutia which very easily gets overlooked: Po is the ultimate Kung Fu fanboy. When he gets dumped into the Jade Palace, he *INSTANTLY* recognizes every artifact on display - he knows their history, their significance, etc. More subtle yet even more reveling is when Sifu grasps Po with the Wu-Xi Finger Hold; for an instant, Sifu is actually impressed that Po not only recognized such an obscure technique but even knew when it was developed and by whom. Knowledge-wise, Po is already more advanced than any of the Furious Five.
Two things stand between Po and his already being the Dragon Warrior - physical conditioning and self-confidence. When Sifu recognizes this (as Po is raiding the pantry),he finally understands how to help Po; yet even Sifu's best efforts aren't quite enough. It's only when Mr Ping reveals the secret ingredient of his Secret Ingredient Soup that the last piece of the puzzle falls into place and Po instantly comprehends the true meaning of The Dragon Scroll.
Which doubles back to the burning question: How did *Oogway* know that Po was the Dragon Warrior?
Simple. While the Furious Five were busy with their demonstrations and Sifu was preoccupied with emceeing, Oogway (being the chill, hyper-observant Zen master that he is) was the sole witness to Po's determination to get inside. While Oogway had no way of knowing how much Po had studied Kung Fu, he saw Po's dedication and perseverance; where such repeated failure would have broken the Furious Five (and, in particular, Sifu), Po just kept at it no matter what. Notice how the one time Oogway chooses to approach Po is when he's on the verge of giving up - in his own esoteric fashion, Oogway simply persuades Po to set aside his worries and focus on the present; to just keep trying.
True about a lot of your opinions, but Po is the main character. Obviously we know more things about him than the others. So you can’t for sure say that the others aren’t as educated as him in certain aspects.
“Oxygen-thief” is the best insult I have ever heard.

3:10 Most were skeptical of Po being the dragon warrior... that actually include Po himself... cause in the first movie, he admits that if anyone who can make him "not him", it would be the greatest kung fu teacher (shifu), he does this while pointing to his stomach
I think the way you articulated your points in the video was phenomenal. I also like the video references and insight you gave to these clips. Overall great podcast
Pandas can digest meat, we should be feeding them more meat, and let them become the dragon warriors they are meant to be.
@@lilylopnco They used to eat meat. The bamboo they eat now doesn't provide them with the nutrients they need, and they eat a massive amount of it, and spend a lot of time eating and pooping. The lack of nutrients makes them sluggish.
@@Anyxe. that isn't what lily asked but okay. I am guessing it is because bamboo is more abundant.
@@SuchanOriginal it is what they asked. They are typically too sluggish now days to hunt for food, although occasional will catch a pika, or other rodents. And yes the initial switch was caused by the abundance of bamboo, and the competition for meat. However what's stopping them from taking down bigger prey like other bears is their diet making them slower.
@@lilylopnco as anoxeyh said, food availability and lack of proper energy providing nutrients. Basically like if you were put on an exclusive diet of lettuce, you wouldn't get much out of something so plain
wait so if you raise a panda on meat- then what happens?
or if you introduce a regular amount of meat in their diet will they become more energetic?

3:33 but they are martial artist ,not your regular fighter. We can see that being physically more powerful won't guarantee you a win when Tai Long easily defeated those enormous Rhinos guarding his cell with just his techniques alone.
In the movie, martial artist fight with their techniques instead of brute force.
It is true body type does not equal ability. Like I have always been skinny with long legs. Most people assume I am a good runner and have told me as much....more than once. Teachers, family, friends all thought this at one point. I have never won a single ribbon in track and field for anything, especially not running and I started in grade 1. I am in my twenties now and you can still outrun me without trying, I am not a runner and never have been.

Po, was also raised by a duck. His high reaction speed comes as a learned behavior. Making him more comfortable and dangerous to his opponents later in the series.

@@nagendramishra8947 What are you trying to point out here? We're talking about Po's Habit a quick reaction time
@@leadwithlove7657 My man is a brown Chinese goose, except uh, duck bill lmao
I’ve always had this question: If Po never landed in front of Oogway would he still become the dragon warrior or would one of the furious five become the dragon warrior. Or would Oogway walk past all of them go outside the Jade Palace and still select Po to be the Dragon Warrior
We might never know
I reckon if po didnt have the drive oogway would one of the five. But since it followed the everything happens for a reason rule, I suppose he saw that as a sign
My personal belief is that he would flat out say the dragon warrior isn't here and leave. Probably not to where Po is since his spiritual senses don't exactly work like that
So the movie could happen. Also probably something about "there are no accidents"
The dragon warrior isnt here.

The real reason he's the chosen one was always really because of his dedication. He gets beat down harder than anyone else while being told he's a failure yet the next day, he still shows up. That takes spine. That's the moral of the story
Yes i love that though it some of it was that who wouldnt like pandas
Amen CitrusSaurus!
That's what makes Po such an inspiration even to old ladies like me. I loved watching this movie with my granddaughter and talking about how size doesn't stop you from being who you are meant to be. 🤗💖
Even when I saw it I loved Po because he never gave up and all the characters are why the movies are some of my top favorites (Tigress is my fav though and she has an interesting back story too that has the sad no parents trope but with a twist on it)!

R/kamikazebywords
I think the animators did that on purpose, make Po bigger than the others to make him stand out a bit more. The other kung fu warriors are way more lean and thin, while the normal animals are as big as Po. So, I think they must have made him like that on purpose.
Another theory I have is that EVERY SINGLE kung fu warrior in the series seems unable to accept that the Dragon Scroll was NOTHING. Tai lung, the furious five, Shifu himself! Po, having had been living a life where his self esteem was at the bottom of the Jade Palace's stairs, when he realized that he was enough without some mystic power, it threw everyone off. All of these points can be applied, but Po, being literally the bottom of everything, was inspired by the fact that Oogway chose HIM, over every Pig, duck, and tiger in the valley, as enough to defeat the deadliest kung fu warrior in history, that he up and did it.
Hmmmmmmm m 🤨🤨🤨
I also have a theory (well not actually mine) on why Oogway chooses Po:
This guy on Tumblr named "Wayttthenerd" explains how in the first movie how Oogway points at Po smiling and says "how interesting" at first you think "strange....but then again though out the movie he keeps saying 'there are no accidents' so that's why he chooses him because he doesn't believe in accidents" and you're half right. But watching the second and third movies, that scene has a WHOLE new different layer.
After watching the second and third one now you see how Pandas saved Oogway's life and taught him Chi. But also in the second movie lord Shen attacked the panda village and everyone assumed the pandas were wiped out. Po is the only panda anyone has ever seen, and Oogway most likey never seen Po since he always stays at the jade palace. He went decades of never seeing a panda and thought they were extinct.
So right when Oogway was choosing a dragon warrior a panda, the same species that healed him with Chi and taught him how to use it, the species he thought were wiped out, falls from the sky.
Right infront of his finger.
How interesting.
@Allenscheazar Buenaobra oh sorry, the short version is that Oogway thought Pandas were extinct because of what happened after the second movie. So when Po, a panda fell out of the sky and right in front of him Oogway knew Po is supposed to become the dragon warrior.
Now begs the bigger question..
HOW IS THIS NOT TOP COMMENT
@Allenscheazar Buenaobra it's basically because pandas taught oog way chi
@@eniibukun7916 is there a shorter version? i am too lazy to read that, that's a lot of words!
The myth, The Legend I very much like this
I also love the fact Po fell from a very great height and walked away like it never happened. If I saw a man drop from a ball of fire land safely from 40+ feet and act like nothing happen, I would think he was a super hero.
But that is normal for every Kung Fu fighter in Kung Fu Panda. The other 5 arguably do it even more than Po.
@@leonmuller8475 ah yes comparing masters of a craft to an inexperienced buffoon
He was just trying to get into the stadium.
Po has greater durabality and can survive well most of the times very high damage as seen with Tai Lung
Also, Oogway explicitly stated that the Dragon Warrior was among them after Po catapulted himself sideways to watch the do their demonstration. I'm willing to bet he internally was going "okay, so if he's that willing to go, and he'd land right around the fireworks, I'd put his time until landing at around a minute or two. Just need to grandstand until I hear the fireworks go off, and then I can start in, and then point wherever he lands. Bonus points if he lands in the middle of the square. That'll anger Shifu enough to find peace once he comes to terms with what happens."

I was the odd kid who started watching a ton of wushu movies when I was just 8 even though NOBODY in my life understood how amazing the genre was
I remember holding my pee for the last 30 min of the first Kung Fu Panda because I just loved how an animated kids movie actually took inspiration from so many great artists
I can answer the third question!
Why do the animals have human teeth?
Animators anthropomorphize animals to make them more appealing and relatable to children. Making them walk on two legs, having them eat human foods, or having human emotions and yes, teeth all play into that. It makes the kid imagine themselves inside the movie, fighting all the baddies and saving the day just like our panda warrior :)
You look like Caka
Short answer: Personification

I mean the third movie quite clearly states that the pandas had the highest levels of chi and well as the greatest potentials so it’s not hard to see why Po was considered the dragon warrior, especially since it was assumed the po was the last of the pandas. It was actually the pandas that taught oogway chi.

Loving the intro😍
Why is your vids so good
“Why was Po the chosen one?”
This question is answered in the third movie. The panda species helped heal Oogway when he was hurt. They also trained him on how to use chi. When Oogway saw Po land into the stadium, he remembered the potential of pandas and his relationship with them. So, he picks Po as the Dragon Warrior.
*NOLEGE*

Me: "remembers minecraft panda yeeting off a platform along with its family"
Crimson682 Hawk Hello brother Alastor
@Hai Voai what is that video suppose to be?
Hai Voai stop
@@reishi2578 was that self promotion?
Yes, hes sending that video to a lot of replies, with different accounts but simular names.
Turtles! They can take the Dragon Warrior title, they already have martial arts under their belts, and they're reptiles, more closely related to dragons. Also, they've been through SO much more than Po, in most versions (I'm lookin' at you Rise and 2012)
My favourite show, this is really knowledgeable.
"They don't get injured, they just get embarrassed."
A group of pandas is called an embarrassment of pandas. I guess coz they're always falling out of trees and are in a constant state of "Uh.... that's totally what I meant to do."
Now now, they aren’t cats.
I challenge you to an Agni Kai immediately
@@princessazulaofthefirenati5870 why
Haha
@@evrythinguneed3242 cuz role players will be roleplaying, even when it makes no FUCKING sense
MatPat: "There is a reason why Po was chosen to be the Dragon Warrior."
Me: "His spirit? Tenacity?"
MatPat: "Money."

Insert Shane McMahon theme here!
thanks for saying this stuff about the body shape
Daniel Cormier actually is from my home state and wrestled at a school in my area. We actually had to wrestle against his alma mater this year
The real reason he’s the chosen one is because he had the noodle dream
How could I be so blind
Noob dream
@Miles You're getting the testaments scrambled, Vengeful Prick or "Loving" Egotist, pick your poison and stick to it.
Anglestor
i’m sorry but wtf happened to the like button
I feel like MatPat may have missed the part where Po getting body shamed isn't perpetuating anything since it's solely in place to allow Po to break down those stereotypes as part of the movies encouraging message :P
Actually yes, that is like the whole message of the movie
@@josepablobonillajimenez6297 exactly haha
@Kristian Mijic if you're doing at 10 for something like that a harmless movie is the least of your problems
@Kristian Mijic dying* autocorrect
@Kristian Mijic no punctuation? Are u ok?
1:09 that gave me nostalgic memories...
20th century fox...
Anyone want a good example that Po isn’t lazy like other pandas, just watch Po’s opening scene in kung fu panda 3
“Pandas love slides, playing with leaves, and eating 14 hours a day”
_Maybe I am a panda_
I think I am too.... Hmm.....
Same
wow, this is my sister in a nutshell, so she was a panda the entire time
Man I'm a panda
Don’t worry I won’t put “thanks for the likes guys” in their
Additionally to his body mass and padding and his combination of the styles of all five masters, he also has a mental aspect that qualifies him above the others, above any other Kung Fu practitioner in that fictional version of China: His attitude to King Fu.
For everybody else, Kung Fu is a duty and privilege, one that demands absolute discipline and sacrifice. When Po broke into the festival Oogwei has seen his dedication to Kung Fu, to do what it takes to get to the festival. But Po always held Kung Fu as a passion, not a duty. The Furious Five and Master Shifu never actually enjoyed Kung Fu, and neither did Tai Long or Lord Shen or Kai the Destroyer; for them, it was their destiny, their duty, both a privilege and a burden. Long after becoming the dragon warrior, Po still was a total fanboy, doing Kung Fu because of his love and joy for it. I believe, that is the true "future and past of Kung Fu" that Oogwei has seen in him. The love for the art combined with the dedication to effort.
there's that, and when the other guy thinks the only thing you're gonna do is sit on him, you couldn't have more of an advantage with surprise
Underrated comment
You have opened my eyes
TLDR: Many times, you can master something only if you LOVE doing it.
fun fact if u don't know so kind of everyone knows: shifu means master in chinese, oogway means turtle in chinese
5:03 almost made me cry for some reason idk why
This is one of my favourite theories ever snicely done
Me: finally getting a Kung fu panda theory after so long
Also me: My time has come
Finally a video on Kung fu Panda. The theory will be LEGENDARY
Finaly! A th e
o ry!
9:55 it is like iroh once said: "It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it become rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole."
That Avatar quote is apropos for a video about Kung Fu Panda. I mean, both of them involve a protagonist who is said to be the chosen one, they both have quotable lines, and they are both equally funny and dramatic.
Speaking of Avatar Toph actually uses the Mantis style Kung Fu for her earthbending
@@AFPLJohnny Really? Do other characters use any of the other animal styles in the show? If so, which ones?
@@MovieFan1912 most earthbenders use hung gar kung fu, firebending is northern shaolin and i don’t remember the airbending style
@@Bidarius Oh right. If I’m not mistaken, Waterbending has elements of Tai Chi in it.
I was thinking of Daniel Cormier before you even mentioned him lol- he's a great example.
wow matpat, I didn't know you could make a video that, not only was for a movie, but outright made it better without changing any core themes
"now it's less creepy because I have the toddler" -Matpat 2020
*the* toddler
Is....... is it _your_ toddler, Matthew??? (A joke)
Yup, an adult playing with kids toys or watching kids shows is creepy. If you have an actual kid, it's good parenting
Oogway sees po
Oogway: ooh the chinese audience will love this
Papa Jo *WE*
Mhm.
but everyone in the movies are chinese...
@@ZUnknownFox ... exactly?
I like how in the intro the game theory logo changes into the film theory logo hinting that game theory was created first
Who else is team Tai lung tho😔the weight of expectations was just to heavy for him to realize his greatness & Shifu was proud of him all along he was just never verbally told that until it was too late💔letting darkness completely consume any good had left
Sometimes i just completely forget Matpat is actually Dadpat.
You know what that means😏
Tumble Thrumble No
Just another Sword Hilt sorry 😔🤭
Tumble Thrumble it means he has a child
Sam Theo Plays will it make you feel better if I delete it
MatPat: the pandas that fall don’t get hurt
The sound effects: Bone snap
That was funny XD
Ahh
Lol
Lmao
*"If there is a hole, there is a goal."*
~Master Oogway
It's 2023 right now when I'm watching this and all this intro just brings me back, nostalgia.
