I've actually had this theory for a while now that Sly's attraction to Carmelita may be hereditary and that all the Coopers (not counting Bob) have all been attracted to people in law enforcement with the possibility of Sly's Mom being a cop before settling down with Sly's Dad.
Roba Fett no, you have to kill your younger self for events to disappear. if you killed the older self, the younger would just grow up and redo the loop all over again
Maybe Sly Cooper 5 will reveal the unanswered questions in Sly Cooper 4 because these are good questions maybe Sly was too young to remember what really happened
I believe both Sly's parents were thieves together back then. So when Sly & Carmelita have a kid of their own in the future, he/she would live as both cop by day & thief by night.
About a while ago, I once had a dream of a gameplay of Sly 5. In this gameplay, you're in Paris, France....playing as Sly's father (in his mid to late teens) and you're on a mission to prevent this international "Mistress of Disguise" from stealing something important. During the cutscene, you two gaze in each other's eyes as they glint in the full moon light. Conner Cooper: Excuse me, miss. I believe that you've stolen something from me that's priceless. Mistress of Disguise: Oh really? What might that be, per se? Conner Cooper: *sweeps her off her feet* My heart. Mistress of Disguise: *laughs* Oh please! The only thing here that's priceless is your sense of humor, Doll!
This begs the question in the orphanage did Sly, Bentley, and Murray never got adopted to a new family when they were little kids or they decided to run away from that orphanage together from the mean headmistress Mrs. Puffin who be stealing cookies to herself not giving any of them to the orphan kids ?
My theory is just the super plain, Sly's father tried to protect his family, everyone died except Sly. All for Sucker Punch to add more mystery behind Sly's background. His mother was probably never a thief and therefore just dismissed by the company. They also probably hid his fathers face so they can do a huge reveal within the last game.
Ehh pretty generic and cliche if it's true. I just think Sly's parents are so mysterious because they're not important. They were another time, another generation. This story is about Sly and his legacy. I don't think we absolutely need to know everything about his parents. Adding mystery to his origin makes him more interesting.
I’m just curious you know like how the ancesters have ability’s we just wanna know there ability’s as well I mean I wanna know I think everyone else is set on who wore slys parents
+VtnVivi this theory can't be true bechus at the end of sly 4 you unlock the ending if what happen to sly after the last battle he is in a desert it code be ancient egypt. IDK but it wood be amazing if in the 5 game if it comes out thy get sly back to the present and penelope starts her team of theves and mabby one of the members is slys mom? or clockwerk comes back to the present day and stuff IDK. but good video.
+Gaming Warlord This theory, let's just say, was for fun, it's pretty crazy. Sly's mom becoming part of a bad group? Anything is possible, unless she's really dead. Or who knows, time travel probably brought her to the present. Glad you enjoyed the vid :p
love your vids i am a huge sly fan and i love you theorys love your vids you most have 100.0000 subs in 2016 stil hoping sorry im not full english so I cant write perfect
Before this video I actually thought about Sly meeting his younger self and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a twist like that since the game has already put some twists out there like the Penelope betrayal. What if Sly's mom actually survived the fiendish fives attack and is trying to find Sly? But never got to since he is a thief. Awesome theory by the way! I'm looking forward to your future videos, you never disappoint!
+Fruity Smoothieh What if his mom sent him to the orphanage, in attempts of protecting him from Clockwerk and Fiendish Five? Although, Clockwerk explained that he spared Sly in order to prove that Coopers are nothing without the book. Maybe, his mom didn't want anything to do with him (very sad) and sent him to an orphanage? Anyways, Sly was probably sent to the orphanage by someone random, making the story a lot simpler. And thanks!
+VtnVivi Like you said, this game has a lot of mysteries and questions that should be answered. He couldn't of just ended up at the orphanage. In Sly 5 If we meet his father that would probably answer questions. Or at least in Sly 5 have lots of Mysteries solved.
Cool theory. I came up with this theory: Old Sly time travels to that time when his father was killed. Old Sly is the one who deciced help young Sly. Or maybe it's someone else. Like Murray :DDD Actually that would be cool, but kinda stupid. Great video again.
+JakkiMiimikko I think Sly time travelling right at the moment when his parents died is more likely. If Sly were to visit his parents, he would disrupt the timeline, resulting in him never meeting his friends and becoming who he is. And thanks!
I own both comics. They took FOREVER to find at a price that wouldn't break the bank. Fun fact: Inspector Fox actually swears at Sly in the first issue. Also I'm glad you saw the portrait. I have been playing through the games again and when I saw it . . . I can't tell you what I felt . . . sort of a strange excitement for some reason.
What if a mini plot is that after sly goes back he wants to change the past and the gang has to actually stop him and it would be a really cool friendship thing
It's actually really sad to think about Sly taking care of himself and later dying. And just to have the same thing happen all over again. Oh well great theory.
but maybe he remembers what happened to his father, and that its going to happen him in the same way so sly decide to change the future? I think that at least it would make sense that Sly will not need to die. ps I am so sorry that I have bad english because I am from Finland.
I think that they will reveal sly's father in the last sly cooper game and then never make another game about it. because when that happens, there is nothing more to fight or. he met his father and his the members of his family and put all the rivals of him in jail. what can they do after? maybe travelling to the future or something like that.
+TheGamingTemple [TGT] Haha! It is pretty crazy (I was laughing when making this vid :p), even too crazy for such a simple game. But, it was still interesting to cover :). And thanks!
VtnVivi :D Also I can't wait for thenew R&C game coming out in a coule of days! I'm doin gvideos on it on mychannel then like a mrarthonthing i can't wait :D
Yeah to this day we have some facts about Mr. Cooper who his first name is Connor Cooper but we have no facts about Mrs. Cooper. In my opinion we don't know how Connor met Mrs. Cooper and to make things less confusing when Sly said "My father fought to protect us" this indicated that only Connor defended his young son and his wife so it turns out that Connor is the only one who was murdered by the Fiendish Five. Sly's mom Mrs. Cooper is nowhere to be seen so we're left with a thought whether she's out of the house for a while. When she arrives back home she was devastated when she discovers that her husband was murdered and the Thievius Racconus is ripped and stolen by the Fiendish Five. To explain the part where Sly ended up in the orphanage I would say that Sly's mom fell into severe depression that she couldn't take care of Sly that she sends him to the orphanage and at that point I believe that was the last time Sly gets to see his mom. So Sly's mom has been a total mystery but I believe in Sly 5 when Sly is reunited with his crew, Bentley and Murray and hopefully Penelope if she truly redeems herself and is exonerated and his girlfriend Carmelita they all get back together and when Bentley tries to locate where Mrs. Cooper is right now Sly can truly reunite with his long-lost mother and at that point Sly and his mom all hug each other as Sly's mom finally recovers from her depression and is glad to see her son all grown up together with his friends. For Carmelita I believe she might reopen the case of the Fiendish Five and there would be a retrial of the Fiendish Five excluding Clockwerk who is dead and the Panda King who is now living with his daughter and is exonerated. The Fiendish Five that would face the retrial are Sir Raleigh, Muggshot and Mz. Ruby and they're all convicted of first-degree murder of Connor Cooper and all their prison sentences would be changed to either Life Imprisonment without the possibility of parole or Capital Punishment. Long answer short Sly's mom has an ambiguous fate either she's dead or still alive.
Great theory but there is one big hitch: Sly is stuck in ancient Egypt (look up the secret ending of thieves in time) so he has no way to time travel right now
@@VtnVivi yeah checked out you other theory vids and now know you are aware lots of my friends even though they love the game series are literally surprised when I show them that
I loved the theory and it is one of the best I've heard. I have to say that it is unlikely that the story would go that way:( It is to risky for the company. The theory seems a little bit to complex for a relatively simple video game. Although the picture and stuff would make sense. I have a theory that sly grew more and more powerful and eventually went back in time and either taught slightenkammon or is slightenkomman. This would make sense how it all started. I have to wonder how the cooper line spread through the world though. I am on the edge of working out a theory that every cooper is just one time tracking individual. Maybe at the end of each coopers life they go back in time and un age themselves into a child for them past selves to raise. And the first cooper was sly from the future. It would travel in a complete circle.
Yeah I was just sitting there wondering how slyttnkhamen gained his skills. Like he was the first cooper and he had invisibility which is without a doubt the best move it seems like the moves would become better but instead slytunkhomman seems to be the best. Sly seems like he should be the peak cooper because of his knowing all the moves I think maybe that is where sly four left off maybe they'll official tell us but maybe they'll let us keep guessing
Connor: Son, have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagieus the Wise? Sly: No Connor: I thought not. It's not a story the Thevious Racconus would tell you. Thought of that meme when he asks his son about the Thevious Racconus
Happy father's day to Connor Cooper! Now we're waiting for Sly if he ever comes back to the current time in order to become a father. I'd like to see Sly be a family man.
Well, what can I say? Its been a long time, and it was one of his best memories, so it's possible that Carmalita was edited out to make it a perfect memory. You know how a humans memory changes over time, the same could happen here.
No, I mean that sly's memories grew hazier over time, and Carmalita vanished completely. You know no one can remember their childhood very clearly, it's like that.
In sly 2 there is a cheat for this thing called TOM. TOM works like the alarm clock, but he either says "Hey, hey, HEY", or "Hey, hey, penuts". This could possibly be a toy Sly had as a kid and uses still today.
That time traveling being linked with sky's parents really does make sense but this theory could be the reason why sucker punch gave away the franchise and now that it's owned by a different company this will never get explained
Here's my theory (btw I haven't played sly 4 or 1) My theory is that sly cooper takes place in the future where global warming and solar flares melt the ice caps easing the water levels and plunging the world into chaos. Here's why 1 If this happened the world would turn to violence and chaos and in sly cooper we see people murder slys parents and take of with a prized possession. And what do the police do? NOTHING because after the something as catastrophic as the caps melting the police force would be weak and with few numbers. 2 In sly cooper we that most of the maps are either high above on a mountain, next to water or both. That's because after the water rose people went to higher ground or stayed letting the water engulf those at a lower elevation. 3 In sly every time you enter a level guards shoot at you even before you commit a crime. Also no civilians are seen, the guards on high alert and always shoot to kill. This is because after the chaos erupted people banded together in tight communities killing those outside of there own group. The communities all know each other since there small so when they see an unfamiliar face they immediately attack. 4 You never see any cars or trucks that aren't carrying weapons and the weapons they do carry are laser weapons witch don't exist yet.
That would create a time paradox, the Cooper line would not continue on and they would be stuck in an endless loop. If you ask from me, they chose to not reveal Conner's face to create mystery and Sly's mom was killed during it. But she is not mentioned because she is not that important to the story.
This theory gives brainfarts and sounds far-fetched I know haha. And I agree, this creates a time loop. Sure, the parents aren't important to the story, but to leave them out in all games... I don't seems weird, like why?
Should point out in the Recap for Sly 2, Sly talks about clockwork and says and I quote "Eventually he caught up with my parents" parents... as in plural... (yes I know this video came out like 6 years ago buttttttt my OCD requires me to correct the statement of his mom not being present at the time of the murder)
also I have a theory and it's about how ratchet and Clank remake. what if ratchet and clank went back in time and went before the series began. I do have proof about it like how Dr. nefarious is not a robot yet. maybe before up your arsenal dr. nefarious was not a robot but a alien or human. instead of quark killing nefarious what if ratchet and clank killed him. this could be one reason why nefarious hates ratchet and clank so much. what I mean is ratchet went back in time when clank was made and nefarious was not a robot. it could be ratchet as the murder and not clank. maybe clank does not know this and it's a secret. I don't really know if it can be true and it's the remake so I guess nefarious is like that but I think you should find more proof and make a video about it so whata you think about that?
+Laz bandicoot Nefarious was originally an organic life form, confirmed in Up your Arsenal; Qwark was involved in him turning into a robot. Time travel was never actually introduced, apart from the Great Clock, which itself isn't really a time machine.
I think the point of having Sly's father being hidden (except for the little Sly4 cutscene) is that he is a mystery man. An ambiguous figure that no one knows except him. For the mother, I am not sure. But what if...this may sound farfetched..what if any memory of her is wiped off? Like for some reason it maybe...she must have did something to have some portions of her memory erased or messed with. Maybe to protect herself, her kid, some other agenda? We may never know. I am not sure if I brought this up earlier or not but I do believe that Penelope's inclusion in the Medieval level is a reference to the Black Plague. Not just for her being a mouse in England, but her black themed disguised as a call back to the black plague. Am I the only one who thought of this?
+Coopergal33 Despite this theory, his dad is a mysterious man that's all, like you said. I wonder if his mom is the one who sent him to the orphanage, to protect him basically. However, it's pretty sad that she would abandon her son. If she did abandon her son, then how come Sly doesn't remember her? (Maybe he did, but just hated bringing her up).
+VtnVivi What if she had no choice but to give him up? Since the Coopers are well known criminals, CPS might played a role in placing Sly in the orphanage. His mother sure is mysterious. Maybe more than his dad. Not to sound like a buzzkill but I've seen some stories where they use the "missing mom" trope. Even if the mother had an equal part as the father, the character will usually be concern more about the dad figure. Not all stories, but some stories. I could be wrong but that's just my thoughts.
i really enjoy ur videos but can u make a video about something about the movie anything i jusst want to know something about it plz i subbed by the way
It's just amazing how much story this franchise contains, although my brain hurts from hearing all of this... That's why I hate time travelling, it messes up way too hard.
Vtnvivi, I think it's cool that sly helped his younger self with carmalita, at least in beginning. It sounds more likely to me(if slys father's name is Conner how can sly be his own father unless it's his biological father.
+AJay We know that Sly is stuck in Ancient Egypt at the end of Thieves in Time and according to the Thievius Raccoonus a Cooper did live in that time. If Sly 5 is a thing, time travel will need to be involved if Sly is to reunite with his friends.
I think the nature of time travel in the series makes the web of theories you posited possible at the very least. I'm sure sucker punch planned the story out way beyond sly 3 and instructed Sanzu accordingly. I like the idea that sly's father figure and mother figure are actually an older sly and Carmelita. I don't see any reason to think that isn't possible, and I think the loop could lead to more complex , interesting, and darker stories in the future. I just hope sucker punch goes back to sly. The mechanics in sly 4 aren't nearly as clean as sly 2 or 3.
+Robert Hewitt Since the faces were never shown, I too think Sucker Punch planned something very early on in development. Yeah, they probably left Sanzaru to finish the story and explain everything. But when are they going to finish the story? That's the question.
What if carmelita is sly's sister and his mom was a fox. This could be possible because after sly's dad was killed he was put in an orphanage (where he met bently and murray) and they got split up at the orphanage and took different routes...
But Sly can't meet his younger self, I thought if u were to ever come in contact with yourself from the past that would create a time paradox which would make you cease to exist
well, if you don't kill your younger self, then you should still exist. But, influencing your younger self might cause trouble. Your younger self might die at one point and you simply vanish like you mentioned.
Funny head cannon: when sly and the gang try to get back to their own time they wind up in the same time as the cookie hiest to see their younger selves being chased by a younger version of Carmalita with a cap gun. Just imagine their expressions!
Carmelita from the orphanage? We never heard about her parents, maybe she was orphaned as well. But wouldn't she have realised that by now, about happy camper?
Didn’t Sly literally say that his father will tell him stories about their family while he was sitting on his knee? So Sly knows he’s talking to his father. Not an older version of himself from the future
Dr M mentions that Sly is a spitting image of his father. We never see his face... Powerpuff girls pretty much do that with the tall lady in red Why is his head cut off in the picture in the vault? Did M do it? Why?
Remember the secret ending to Sly 4? I'm sure you've heard this theory thousands of times by now but I think Sly was sent back to Ancient Egypt (Thus explaining the desert in the ending) and he meets his ancestor there. Well, it just so happens that his ancestor is in the process of writing the Thievius Raccoonus. Sly plants a note in the book thus causing it to change for Bentley which allows him to take the time machine and rescue Sly.
My headcanon has always been that sly's mom was the daughter of of a mobboss and that she's still around and taking over her family business, she just rather Sly follow in her father's footsteps than become a mobboss.
+Notsosmartguy 625 What if she's still alive? If so, then why would she abandon Sly? What if she sent him to the orphanage, in attempts of moving away from his life? That would just be sad though.
I’m gonna be honest.. Carmelita fox being the mother doesn’t sound far fetched to me. Because if you really think about it. How would she know so much about the coopers if she never caught one.. and how would she as a cop would be the one that gets closest to catching sly compared to the other ones. Sure she has files and stuff but let’s not forgot the other cops would also have access to those files. But as far as I know or remember the only cop who seems to be chasing sly. Is Carmelita fox. This would most likely mean she knew a cooper. Which In turn would give her enough experience to either catch a cooper who as she always does get really close to catching one. Therefore it’s very well possible Carmelita could be Sly’s mother. And the only way she could be his mother would be if Sly’s parents weren’t with him when he was a baby. And there’s a secret ending I saw on TH-cam for sly cooper thieves in time where sly seems to be in someplace like or is Egypt so maybe Carmelita decided to have Bentley send her back in time to when sly was a baby. And sly might’ve ended up in a different location so eventually Carmelita and Sly ended up meeting and for sly to raise his younger self he had to look different then what he usually does and that’s most likely why sly has the same cane as his father. And Carmelita as to not cause the timeline to change too much she had to leave sly. Which a possible reason sly never mentioned his is because Carmelita was never in his life at that point all he knew is that he had a mother but never knew her name. So I really don’t find you theory that far fetched
Now if Carmelita raised young Sly, would there still be two Carmelitas in that time period? What I mean is, where would future Carmelita go in order to not cause the timeline to change? Back to her original time?
I think Its Like this: Sly in the egypt somehow make the time Machine And use his weapon as the item to travel back, but he made Mistake And travel to time where his parents live (not maried). Then when he try to find his parents he relaizes that he was his father the whole time. After that he make the famile And do the same thing as his father (himself). And to hide the truth he paint himself And change his cloths.
@@VtnVivi i thing he Will make the Cane And hide it in the place, that he found his Cane whene he was younger. Plus i thing that sly (Future one) Will maried Fox that looks like caremira (sorry for the Wrong Spelling) but he knows that She wants divores as time goes on And that Fox Will maried someone else And make a baby And name her camerira (again sorry for spelling).
Heres my own crazy theory, is that every one of Sly's ancestors is married to a fox, first is the pic of sly's parent, and the second is that tennessee kid cooper mentioned that carmelita remind him of a girl he knows(carmelita's ancestors?).
Hmm... My theory is Carmelita and Sly raise young Sly when his biological parents aren't around. This means Carm and Sly died by the hands of the fiendish five, they believed they had no choice but to die, you know to make sure this time loop would occur. Still though, this theory is still messed up now they I look at it back XD
I feel like if sucker punch saw this video it would motivate them to start working on the next game because this gives them a lot to play with (story wise) I like this mysterious feel to the video also...I think it would be very interesting if they went with this theory: Sly is working with mcsweeny & dr M (but sly's real name is Connor or Connor is just a name that sly made up to keep it a secret that he went back in the past to raise kid sly because his biological parents are trapped in an unknown time period by a unknown villain maybe clockwerk or Penelope idk ) so once he goes back to raise kid sly into the ultimate thief. Clockwerk made himself immortal so he could kill the cooper clan he and the fiendish five track down sly/Connor to kill him but he fakes his death which is why kid sly doesn't fade from existence and sly/Connor fakes his death to make kid sly want vengeance on his fathers death hence (sly 1,2,&3) I could say more but sucker punch could make it make sense
+Kliiko Thanks for taking the time to write all this :). Glad you enjoyed this theory. One thing's for sure though, if Sly time travelled and raised his younger self, then him dying in the past shouldn't erase Sly from existence, well until he time travels basically. It would be crazy though, what if his parents are actually alive and trapped somewhere?
Who still wants the Series to continue
Repper EX me
Everyone.
I think they are contiuned just sly 5 is not realesed
Me
I do
I've actually had this theory for a while now that Sly's attraction to Carmelita may be hereditary and that all the Coopers (not counting Bob) have all been attracted to people in law enforcement with the possibility of Sly's Mom being a cop before settling down with Sly's Dad.
what if Carmelita came from a long line of cops that were supposed to catch the coopers or destined to marry
Carmelita is actually the fourth cop in her family!
That's way I thought
Raising yourself is crazy, plus that means Sly got killed.
And it would never happen
Roba Fett no, you have to kill your younger self for events to disappear. if you killed the older self, the younger would just grow up and redo the loop all over again
Atleast he didn’t get thrown in a cell
@@tbosschhe kinda did in a way he’s stuck in a time loop which forces him to live and die over and over if the theory is true
Maybe Sly Cooper 5 will reveal the unanswered questions in Sly Cooper 4 because these are good questions maybe Sly was too young to remember what really happened
Katelyn Bodiford hopefully
I swear any game that involves time travel/multi-verse stuff always makes me loose brain cells lol
Same here
I believe both Sly's parents were thieves together back then. So when Sly & Carmelita have a kid of their own in the future, he/she would live as both cop by day & thief by night.
About a while ago, I once had a dream of a gameplay of Sly 5. In this gameplay, you're in Paris, France....playing as Sly's father (in his mid to late teens) and you're on a mission to prevent this international "Mistress of Disguise" from stealing something important. During the cutscene, you two gaze in each other's eyes as they glint in the full moon light.
Conner Cooper: Excuse me, miss. I believe that you've stolen something from me that's priceless.
Mistress of Disguise: Oh really? What might that be, per se?
Conner Cooper: *sweeps her off her feet* My heart.
Mistress of Disguise: *laughs* Oh please! The only thing here that's priceless is your sense of humor, Doll!
Neat dream. ^_^
I have had dreams before that became a reality months later. I hope you had that type of dream.
Write a fanfiction.
Soooooo much writing
I have dreams that Will happen in the future
That's an insane theory man xD
+Bnatesgamer I know right XD. But it was still fun to cover :p
+VtnVivi hey i have a eastereeg in sly cooper theivs in time if you have the dragon claw then turn it over it will say clockwork was her :o
+Sharukrishna Vigneswaran Everyone knows that
VTNVIVI I really enjoyed this, especially when you suggested Sly raised himself! Definitely a creative idea
This begs the question in the orphanage did Sly, Bentley, and Murray never got adopted to a new family when they were little kids or they decided to run away from that orphanage together from the mean headmistress Mrs. Puffin who be stealing cookies to herself not giving any of them to the orphan kids ?
I've always wondered :)
sly's mom was murdered with sly's dad in sly 3 when they are talking about the panda king sly mentions it
In Sly 4 the father's name is Conner Cooper so we at least have his name.
Indeed.
Sis, "what if Conner married a fox. Just like every other cooper?"
Me, "Would that mean Carmaleta and Sly are related?"
Sis, "that's kinda creepy."
Something tells me the Coopers had a thing for foxes. Remember when Tennesse mentioned that Carmelita reminded him of someone ;)?
Sly wears blue and yellow gloves, he also wears black and blue shoes. That's just a fun thing I noticed while playing Sly 1.
your videos are amazing it surprises me that you only have 1,000
+Alejandro Santiago :D Thank you.
I hope sly 5 comes out as ss on as possible
+Jan Skrzynski It would be great!
VtnVivi we can hope
I got so confused xD
+Nino Rissanen It is confusing XD
Hey VTNVIVI could you do a theory on if sly knew Carmelita at the orphanage when he was a child
Don't think so hard , I loosely hold it together to better understand it.
My theory is just the super plain, Sly's father tried to protect his family, everyone died except Sly. All for Sucker Punch to add more mystery behind Sly's background. His mother was probably never a thief and therefore just dismissed by the company. They also probably hid his fathers face so they can do a huge reveal within the last game.
It could be as simple as that :P
Great vid as always! P.S. This is C Carter who usually comments on the Sly videos :)
Ehh pretty generic and cliche if it's true. I just think Sly's parents are so mysterious because they're not important. They were another time, another generation. This story is about Sly and his legacy. I don't think we absolutely need to know everything about his parents. Adding mystery to his origin makes him more interesting.
I agree.
Dincorta maybe we can view his parents in sly 5
I’m just curious you know like how the ancesters have ability’s we just wanna know there ability’s as well I mean I wanna know I think everyone else is set on who wore slys parents
Mystery for the sake of mystery is just as cliché.
A 100 likes!? Thanks guys :D I noticed that a lot of you enjoyed this crazy theory :P
+VtnVivi this theory can't be true bechus at the end of sly 4 you unlock the ending if what happen to sly after the last battle he is in a desert it code be ancient egypt. IDK but it wood be amazing if in the 5 game if it comes out thy get sly back to the present and penelope starts her team of theves and mabby one of the members is slys mom? or clockwerk comes back to the present day and stuff IDK. but good video.
+Gaming Warlord This theory, let's just say, was for fun, it's pretty crazy. Sly's mom becoming part of a bad group? Anything is possible, unless she's really dead. Or who knows, time travel probably brought her to the present. Glad you enjoyed the vid :p
+VtnVivi are you doing arpeggio theory next?
***** No, but it's in my list of upcoming vids :)
love your vids i am a huge sly fan and i love you theorys love your vids you most have 100.0000 subs in 2016 stil hoping sorry im not full english so I cant write perfect
i love your stuff, you literally have my 3 favorite games on one channel, its perfect, keep up the good work!!
+Alex Demers Thanks :D Glad you enjoy it!
I'm having a hard time thinking if this would be possible from the mysteries of Sly's childhood before being on his own with Bentley and Murray.
Since his parents' faces always remained hidden (apart from Sly 4), I feel like there's this mystery. Why hide their faces right?
VTNVIVI yeah that still makes things a big mystery.
Before this video I actually thought about Sly meeting his younger self and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a twist like that since the game has already put some twists out there like the Penelope betrayal. What if Sly's mom actually survived the fiendish fives attack and is trying to find Sly? But never got to since he is a thief. Awesome theory by the way! I'm looking forward to your future videos, you never disappoint!
+Fruity Smoothieh What if his mom sent him to the orphanage, in attempts of protecting him from Clockwerk and Fiendish Five? Although, Clockwerk explained that he spared Sly in order to prove that Coopers are nothing without the book. Maybe, his mom didn't want anything to do with him (very sad) and sent him to an orphanage? Anyways, Sly was probably sent to the orphanage by someone random, making the story a lot simpler. And thanks!
+VtnVivi Like you said, this game has a lot of mysteries and questions that should be answered. He couldn't of just ended up at the orphanage. In Sly 5 If we meet his father that would probably answer questions. Or at least in Sly 5 have lots of Mysteries solved.
+VtnVivi :D
Cool theory. I came up with this theory: Old Sly time travels to that time when his father was killed. Old Sly is the one who deciced help young Sly. Or maybe it's someone else. Like Murray :DDD Actually that would be cool, but kinda stupid. Great video again.
+JakkiMiimikko I think Sly time travelling right at the moment when his parents died is more likely. If Sly were to visit his parents, he would disrupt the timeline, resulting in him never meeting his friends and becoming who he is. And thanks!
I own both comics. They took FOREVER to find at a price that wouldn't break the bank. Fun fact: Inspector Fox actually swears at Sly in the first issue.
Also I'm glad you saw the portrait. I have been playing through the games again and when I saw it . . . I can't tell you what I felt . . . sort of a strange excitement for some reason.
+Raymond Davis I wish I could my hands on physical copies! When they briefly showed the portrait, I dunno, there was this mysterious feel to it.
Cool, I subbed, I liked, and Commented! Nice work!
+dark f101 :D
7:47 what if that's Carmelita fox, because the arm is the same color as her and she also wears yellow gloves :o
4:31 that picture of a Raccoon and a Fox is something that I have been wondering about since I played Sly 3 way back. Very interesting
What if a mini plot is that after sly goes back he wants to change the past and the gang has to actually stop him and it would be a really cool friendship thing
It's actually really sad to think about Sly taking care of himself and later dying. And just to have the same thing happen all over again. Oh well great theory.
+tailsandclankfan It's very sad actually. Glad you enjoyed it!
but maybe he remembers what happened to his father, and that its going to happen him in the same way so sly decide to change the future? I think that at least it would make sense that Sly will not need to die. ps I am so sorry that I have bad english because I am from Finland.
Salsahh ;3 If so, young Sly would've been raised in a foster home. That could've changed Sly's future completely.
Well thats true I didint even think abaut that
What if Ratchet is Sly's father? Ah?
It explains everything, brain fart.
***** If so, that means the team doesn't know who they're up against, Penelope could have plotting something this whole time.
***** I don't think so.
VTNVIVI what is that charcter as your logo?
I absolutely love your Sly Cooper videos Keep Up the good work
+JPF Thanks :D
VtnVivi
I think that they will reveal sly's father in the last sly cooper game and then never make another game about it. because when that happens, there is nothing more to fight or. he met his father and his the members of his family and put all the rivals of him in jail. what can they do after? maybe travelling to the future or something like that.
Or a prequel ;)
Lol this theory is crazy, great video man!
+TheGamingTemple [TGT] Haha! It is pretty crazy (I was laughing when making this vid :p), even too crazy for such a simple game. But, it was still interesting to cover :). And thanks!
That's the most confusing Sly Cooper theory I ever heard.
No
That's the most confusing gaming theory I've ever heard.
Haha XD
At the start I thought you said ''to discuss his pants'' lol great video
+JimMcnugget haha. Glad you enjoyed it!
VtnVivi :D Also I can't wait for thenew R&C game coming out in a coule of days! I'm doin gvideos on it on mychannel then like a mrarthonthing i can't wait :D
JimMcnugget In 3 dayyysss!!!
I know :D AHHHHH!!
Yeah to this day we have some facts about Mr. Cooper who his first name is Connor Cooper but we have no facts about Mrs. Cooper. In my opinion we don't know how Connor met Mrs. Cooper and to make things less confusing when Sly said "My father fought to protect us" this indicated that only Connor defended his young son and his wife so it turns out that Connor is the only one who was murdered by the Fiendish Five. Sly's mom Mrs. Cooper is nowhere to be seen so we're left with a thought whether she's out of the house for a while. When she arrives back home she was devastated when she discovers that her husband was murdered and the Thievius Racconus is ripped and stolen by the Fiendish Five. To explain the part where Sly ended up in the orphanage I would say that Sly's mom fell into severe depression that she couldn't take care of Sly that she sends him to the orphanage and at that point I believe that was the last time Sly gets to see his mom.
So Sly's mom has been a total mystery but I believe in Sly 5 when Sly is reunited with his crew, Bentley and Murray and hopefully Penelope if she truly redeems herself and is exonerated and his girlfriend Carmelita they all get back together and when Bentley tries to locate where Mrs. Cooper is right now Sly can truly reunite with his long-lost mother and at that point Sly and his mom all hug each other as Sly's mom finally recovers from her depression and is glad to see her son all grown up together with his friends. For Carmelita I believe she might reopen the case of the Fiendish Five and there would be a retrial of the Fiendish Five excluding Clockwerk who is dead and the Panda King who is now living with his daughter and is exonerated. The Fiendish Five that would face the retrial are Sir Raleigh, Muggshot and Mz. Ruby and they're all convicted of first-degree murder of Connor Cooper and all their prison sentences would be changed to either Life Imprisonment without the possibility of parole or Capital Punishment.
Long answer short Sly's mom has an ambiguous fate either she's dead or still alive.
I just noticed your Profile Pic is Ratchet wearing a Sly Shirt also holding a keyblade and wearing a crown.
+Doctor Nefarious Haha yeah!
it could also be that sly's father was a fox & sly's mother was a raccoon 😇
sly realizes he can go back in time to his parents
like enough to be with them
That could to one very deep emotional story.
What if penelopy was sly's father
wtf
Someone's brain is fried.
And it's not mine
Sly's mom was killed in the kitchen of the house in an unreleased comic before
Really? Where'd you hear this?
Great theory but there is one big hitch: Sly is stuck in ancient Egypt (look up the secret ending of thieves in time) so he has no way to time travel right now
I am fully aware ;)
@@VtnVivi yeah checked out you other theory vids and now know you are aware lots of my friends even though they love the game series are literally surprised when I show them that
I loved the theory and it is one of the best I've heard. I have to say that it is unlikely that the story would go that way:( It is to risky for the company. The theory seems a little bit to complex for a relatively simple video game. Although the picture and stuff would make sense. I have a theory that sly grew more and more powerful and eventually went back in time and either taught slightenkammon or is slightenkomman. This would make sense how it all started. I have to wonder how the cooper line spread through the world though. I am on the edge of working out a theory that every cooper is just one time tracking individual. Maybe at the end of each coopers life they go back in time and un age themselves into a child for them past selves to raise. And the first cooper was sly from the future. It would travel in a complete circle.
+Eli Roy You took the words right out of my mouth! About Slytunkhamen... I planning something ;p
Yeah I was just sitting there wondering how slyttnkhamen gained his skills. Like he was the first cooper and he had invisibility which is without a doubt the best move it seems like the moves would become better but instead slytunkhomman seems to be the best. Sly seems like he should be the peak cooper because of his knowing all the moves I think maybe that is where sly four left off maybe they'll official tell us but maybe they'll let us keep guessing
what is the music in the video
Scent of Silence Kingdom Hearts Re Chain
Slys mom got killed by the fiendish five
It is easily assumed yes! Plus Sly even said Clockwerk caught up with his PARENTS in Sly 2.
I think we may see Sly's mother in the future!
+Gustavo Barría Chavarría Since she was never mentioned, maybe!
Connor: Son, have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagieus the Wise?
Sly: No
Connor: I thought not. It's not a story the Thevious Racconus would tell you.
Thought of that meme when he asks his son about the Thevious Racconus
Happy father's day to Connor Cooper! Now we're waiting for Sly if he ever comes back to the current time in order to become a father. I'd like to see Sly be a family man.
Samemememme
Well, what can I say? Its been a long time, and it was one of his best memories, so it's possible that Carmalita was edited out to make it a perfect memory. You know how a humans memory changes over time, the same could happen here.
Edited out, do you mean Carmelita is the figure we see in the portrait?
No, I mean that sly's memories grew hazier over time, and Carmalita vanished completely. You know no one can remember their childhood very clearly, it's like that.
+Jamesie Walters I am of course referring to the orphanage memories.
Carmelita is like 3 years older than Sly. Sly was 18 in 2002, making Carmelita 21 in 2002.
Yup :)
In sly 2 there is a cheat for this thing called TOM. TOM works like the alarm clock, but he either says "Hey, hey, HEY", or "Hey, hey, penuts". This could possibly be a toy Sly had as a kid and uses still today.
Toonami
The yellow glubes were just a thing I was thinking about do you believe me because I will come back
Time travel is confusing... xD
But anyway awesome sly theory VtnVivi :)
+ComputerCatGaming It is confusing :p! Glad you enjoyed it.
That time traveling being linked with sky's parents really does make sense but this theory could be the reason why sucker punch gave away the franchise and now that it's owned by a different company this will never get explained
+Jim McCabe Or maybe it will :P
Sucker punch made such an interesting plot..sly's parents are a big mystery that we all want to know..
Here's my theory (btw I haven't played sly 4 or 1)
My theory is that sly cooper takes place in the future where global warming and solar flares melt the ice caps easing the water levels and plunging the world into chaos. Here's why
1 If this happened the world would turn to violence and chaos and in sly cooper we see people murder slys parents and take of with a prized possession. And what do the police do? NOTHING because after the something as catastrophic as the caps melting the police force would be weak and with few numbers.
2 In sly cooper we that most of the maps are either high above on a mountain, next to water or both. That's because after the water rose people went to higher ground or stayed letting the water engulf those at a lower elevation.
3 In sly every time you enter a level guards shoot at you even before you commit a crime. Also no civilians are seen, the guards on high alert and always shoot to kill. This is because after the chaos erupted people banded together in tight communities killing those outside of there own group. The communities all know each other since there small so when they see an unfamiliar face they immediately attack.
4 You never see any cars or trucks that aren't carrying weapons and the weapons they do carry are laser weapons witch don't exist yet.
I would never have thought of this :P
if sly raised himself as a kid, he would change himself completely in the future and it would mess a lot up
That would create a time paradox, the Cooper line would not continue on and they would be stuck in an endless loop. If you ask from me, they chose to not reveal Conner's face to create mystery and Sly's mom was killed during it. But she is not mentioned because she is not that important to the story.
This theory gives brainfarts and sounds far-fetched I know haha. And I agree, this creates a time loop. Sure, the parents aren't important to the story, but to leave them out in all games... I don't seems weird, like why?
VTNVIVI It is weird but maybe the parents were not focused on that much at the time but we do need more information about them.
Sly cooper is in your intro 😻 I'm subbed
+Kody Hirchak :D
Should point out in the Recap for Sly 2, Sly talks about clockwork and says and I quote "Eventually he caught up with my parents" parents... as in plural... (yes I know this video came out like 6 years ago buttttttt my OCD requires me to correct the statement of his mom not being present at the time of the murder)
dude this theory got me confused I think you need to do part 2 of this theory also great theory
also I have a theory and it's about how ratchet and Clank remake. what if ratchet and clank went back in time and went before the series began. I do have proof about it like how Dr. nefarious is not a robot yet. maybe before up your arsenal dr. nefarious was not a robot but a alien or human. instead of quark killing nefarious what if ratchet and clank killed him. this could be one reason why nefarious hates ratchet and clank so much. what I mean is ratchet went back in time when clank was made and nefarious was not a robot. it could be ratchet as the murder and not clank. maybe clank does not know this and it's a secret. I don't really know if it can be true and it's the remake so I guess nefarious is like that but I think you should find more proof and make a video about it so whata you think about that?
+Laz bandicoot Time travel itself is confusing. What got you confused?
+Laz bandicoot Nefarious was originally an organic life form, confirmed in Up your Arsenal; Qwark was involved in him turning into a robot. Time travel was never actually introduced, apart from the Great Clock, which itself isn't really a time machine.
I think the point of having Sly's father being hidden (except for the little Sly4 cutscene) is that he is a mystery man. An ambiguous figure that no one knows except him. For the mother, I am not sure.
But what if...this may sound farfetched..what if any memory of her is wiped off? Like for some reason it maybe...she must have did something to have some portions of her memory erased or messed with. Maybe to protect herself, her kid, some other agenda? We may never know.
I am not sure if I brought this up earlier or not but I do believe that Penelope's inclusion in the Medieval level is a reference to the Black Plague. Not just for her being a mouse in England, but her black themed disguised as a call back to the black plague. Am I the only one who thought of this?
+Coopergal33 Despite this theory, his dad is a mysterious man that's all, like you said. I wonder if his mom is the one who sent him to the orphanage, to protect him basically. However, it's pretty sad that she would abandon her son. If she did abandon her son, then how come Sly doesn't remember her? (Maybe he did, but just hated bringing her up).
+VtnVivi What if she had no choice but to give him up? Since the Coopers are well known criminals, CPS might played a role in placing Sly in the orphanage.
His mother sure is mysterious. Maybe more than his dad. Not to sound like a buzzkill but I've seen some stories where they use the "missing mom" trope. Even if the mother had an equal part as the father, the character will usually be concern more about the dad figure. Not all stories, but some stories. I could be wrong but that's just my thoughts.
***** Interesting :)
i really enjoy ur videos but can u make a video about something about the movie anything i jusst want to know something about it plz i subbed by the way
+Alex k plays I was planing on making one tonight (status update) :) Oh and thanks!
when is tonight plz tell me
Alex k plays Probably around 11 p.m.-12:00 a.m EST
+VtnVivi ill be waiting [=
+VtnVivi plz upload it soon
pls more sly your the only one thats keeps uploding sly Cooper ffs rip sucker punch
+Skoomen2lel xx Don't worry :p
Wait but if sly was the father how could he steal the diamond/rubin
Let's just say that was his biological father.
What if his parents didn't actually die but Sly didn't know and he found out they were lost in time.
What if O_O
It's just amazing how much story this franchise contains, although my brain hurts from hearing all of this... That's why I hate time travelling, it messes up way too hard.
+Michele Portatadino Time travelling is complicated yes :p
Vtnvivi, I think it's cool that sly helped his younger self with carmalita, at least in beginning. It sounds more likely to me(if slys father's name is Conner how can sly be his own father unless it's his biological father.
Ah now that's the thing, Sly wouldn't be his own biological father, an ''adoptive'' one instead.
villian goes back in time sawes clockwork and tryes to kill sly
I think Sly 5 story is going to be sly founding his dad and mom with time machine
I'd like that to be honest, even if just we just see a glimpse of them, you know to keep that old tradition of not showing their faces.
Wow 8:40 thanks for talking about one of my theory that if all told together would make a big story
+Liam Fitzpatrick :)
crazy theory....i love and i never knew his real name was connor. thx man keep up he great work and keep the sly vids coming
+thegreatwhite777 Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm righting a fanfic on this topic but it's based on a true event
I see :O
Maybe we'll find out what really happened to his parents in the next time traveling cooper game
+AJay Yes!
+AJay We know that Sly is stuck in Ancient Egypt at the end of Thieves in Time and according to the Thievius Raccoonus a Cooper did live in that time. If Sly 5 is a thing, time travel will need to be involved if Sly is to reunite with his friends.
JamesDavy2009 Yeah!
I don’t know why Carmelita doesn’t care about sky’s parents that died from the clutches of clockwork
I think the nature of time travel in the series makes the web of theories you posited possible at the very least. I'm sure sucker punch planned the story out way beyond sly 3 and instructed Sanzu accordingly. I like the idea that sly's father figure and mother figure are actually an older sly and Carmelita. I don't see any reason to think that isn't possible, and I think the loop could lead to more complex
, interesting, and darker stories in the future. I just hope sucker punch goes back to sly. The mechanics in sly 4 aren't nearly as clean as sly 2 or 3.
+Robert Hewitt Since the faces were never shown, I too think Sucker Punch planned something very early on in development. Yeah, they probably left Sanzaru to finish the story and explain everything. But when are they going to finish the story? That's the question.
Thanks I keep watching this video over and over what if there could be clues in sly 5 have you herd when its coming out .
I haven't heard anything about Sly 5 yet.
+VTNVIVI it's just a rumor as of right now. I think it's a strong possibility though.
+Mz Evenstar ok I don't get it what is the rumor
+Mz Evenstar I am not a rumor 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Sly is stuck in a dessert , in a unknown time...
Yep.
What if carmelita is sly's sister and his mom was a fox.
This could be possible because after sly's dad was killed he was put in an orphanage (where he met bently and murray) and they got split up at the orphanage and took different routes...
So we're looking at incest?
But Sly can't meet his younger self, I thought if u were to ever come in contact with yourself from the past that would create a time paradox which would make you cease to exist
well, if you don't kill your younger self, then you should still exist. But, influencing your younger self might cause trouble. Your younger self might die at one point and you simply vanish like you mentioned.
Funny head cannon: when sly and the gang try to get back to their own time they wind up in the same time as the cookie hiest to see their younger selves being chased by a younger version of Carmalita with a cap gun. Just imagine their expressions!
Carmelita from the orphanage? We never heard about her parents, maybe she was orphaned as well. But wouldn't she have realised that by now, about happy camper?
Something similar could have happened to Carmalita.
My brain cannot handle! Though there were some pretty interesting theories.
+TeckGeck :p
who else loves sly like a son
Didn’t Sly literally say that his father will tell him stories about their family while he was sitting on his knee? So Sly knows he’s talking to his father. Not an older version of himself from the future
Dr M mentions that Sly is a spitting image of his father.
We never see his face... Powerpuff girls pretty much do that with the tall lady in red
Why is his head cut off in the picture in the vault? Did M do it? Why?
A question yet to be answered.
I just noticed that. the other could be Conner's gang with McSweny's tusks as a clear give away.
The picture on the bottom looks like the trio yes.
that mean sly knew he's gonna die when the 5 come to kill him, so it's impossible
Remember the secret ending to Sly 4? I'm sure you've heard this theory thousands of times by now but I think Sly was sent back to Ancient Egypt (Thus explaining the desert in the ending) and he meets his ancestor there. Well, it just so happens that his ancestor is in the process of writing the Thievius Raccoonus. Sly plants a note in the book thus causing it to change for Bentley which allows him to take the time machine and rescue Sly.
+TheAndkonmegalodon ;p. I'll discuss about it eventually.
VtnVivi Can't wait ;)
+VtnVivi Penelope probably read thievious racconnus secrets, contents it maybe explain her betrayal
***** Penelope reading the book, interesting!
+TheAndkonmegalodon I've seen that occur in a certain show that shall remain nameless.
My headcanon has always been that sly's mom was the daughter of of a mobboss and that she's still around and taking over her family business, she just rather Sly follow in her father's footsteps than become a mobboss.
+Notsosmartguy 625 What if she's still alive? If so, then why would she abandon Sly? What if she sent him to the orphanage, in attempts of moving away from his life? That would just be sad though.
I’m gonna be honest.. Carmelita fox being the mother doesn’t sound far fetched to me. Because if you really think about it. How would she know so much about the coopers if she never caught one.. and how would she as a cop would be the one that gets closest to catching sly compared to the other ones. Sure she has files and stuff but let’s not forgot the other cops would also have access to those files. But as far as I know or remember the only cop who seems to be chasing sly. Is Carmelita fox. This would most likely mean she knew a cooper. Which In turn would give her enough experience to either catch a cooper who as she always does get really close to catching one. Therefore it’s very well possible Carmelita could be Sly’s mother. And the only way she could be his mother would be if Sly’s parents weren’t with him when he was a baby. And there’s a secret ending I saw on TH-cam for sly cooper thieves in time where sly seems to be in someplace like or is Egypt so maybe Carmelita decided to have Bentley send her back in time to when sly was a baby. And sly might’ve ended up in a different location so eventually Carmelita and Sly ended up meeting and for sly to raise his younger self he had to look different then what he usually does and that’s most likely why sly has the same cane as his father. And Carmelita as to not cause the timeline to change too much she had to leave sly. Which a possible reason sly never mentioned his is because Carmelita was never in his life at that point all he knew is that he had a mother but never knew her name. So I really don’t find you theory that far fetched
Now if Carmelita raised young Sly, would there still be two Carmelitas in that time period? What I mean is, where would future Carmelita go in order to not cause the timeline to change? Back to her original time?
VTNVIVI probably
Meh, carmelita is sly girlfriend
Your Theory Gave Me A Headache.
+Officialgamer_5 It can get confusing, you're not the only one :p
basictly what will sly do when he meets
I think Its Like this:
Sly in the egypt somehow make the time Machine And use his weapon as the item to travel back, but he made Mistake And travel to time where his parents live (not maried). Then when he try to find his parents he relaizes that he was his father the whole time. After that he make the famile And do the same thing as his father (himself). And to hide the truth he paint himself And change his cloths.
Hmm....But how would his cane guarantee a trip to the present?
@@VtnVivi i thing he Will make the Cane And hide it in the place, that he found his Cane whene he was younger.
Plus i thing that sly (Future one) Will maried Fox that looks like caremira (sorry for the Wrong Spelling) but he knows that She wants divores as time goes on And that Fox Will maried someone else And make a baby And name her camerira (again sorry for spelling).
Heres my own crazy theory, is that every one of Sly's ancestors is married to a fox, first is the pic of sly's parent, and the second is that tennessee kid cooper mentioned that carmelita remind him of a girl he knows(carmelita's ancestors?).
+Hassan Ghanim ;p. I plan on talking about that.
XD foxes are just naturally sexually appealing to the coopers. Like I noticed in my family my female ancestors like black haired men.
It's like the grand father paradox
What if sly IS THE OG COOPER? What if Sly got stuck in time and basically just started the whole cooper clane.
Problem with your theory. Sly and Carmelita get killed by younger versions of the fiendish five. A group sly single handedly took down as a rookie.
Hmm... My theory is Carmelita and Sly raise young Sly when his biological parents aren't around. This means Carm and Sly died by the hands of the fiendish five, they believed they had no choice but to die, you know to make sure this time loop would occur. Still though, this theory is still messed up now they I look at it back XD
I feel like if sucker punch saw this video it would motivate them to start working on the next game because this gives them a lot to play with (story wise) I like this mysterious feel to the video also...I think it would be very interesting if they went with this theory: Sly is working with mcsweeny & dr M (but sly's real name is Connor or Connor is just a name that sly made up to keep it a secret that he went back in the past to raise kid sly because his biological parents are trapped in an unknown time period by a unknown villain maybe clockwerk or Penelope idk ) so once he goes back to raise kid sly into the ultimate thief. Clockwerk made himself immortal so he could kill the cooper clan he and the fiendish five track down sly/Connor to kill him but he fakes his death which is why kid sly doesn't fade from existence and sly/Connor fakes his death to make kid sly want vengeance on his fathers death hence (sly 1,2,&3) I could say more but sucker punch could make it make sense
+Kliiko Thanks for taking the time to write all this :). Glad you enjoyed this theory. One thing's for sure though, if Sly time travelled and raised his younger self, then him dying in the past shouldn't erase Sly from existence, well until he time travels basically. It would be crazy though, what if his parents are actually alive and trapped somewhere?
Sly Coopers dad also had a hat like young sly!You didnt see the shadow on the door when you said slys dad had brown arms and yellow glove.
A hat? Hmm...
+VTNVIVI yes stop the video at 7:48 mins and u see that the shadow(Slys dad) has a hat just like young sly.
