- When Sly faces Dr. M in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, there's this one line which always stands out. Dr. M believes that Sly's dad was never a good friend. Why is that? Just how well do we even know Sly's father?

It's possible that Conner and Dr. M just simply never had that close of a bond. Starting it when they were already adults and not taking the time to get to know each other better. We definitely know Conner at least had a decent relationship with McSweeney, considering McSweeney put himself in jail just to keep secret information from other criminals.
That IS a good theory
I still wonder about the ''turning himself in'' part. Sure he knew the whereabouts of the vault's map, but what made him really want to go to jail? Out of all places in the world he chooses jail?
@@VtnVivi Not sure, probably a lack of aspirations for anything else and so put himself in jail to keep a low profile while working towards cleaning up his criminal record so he could move on with his own life. Plus by being in solitary confinement he would have an easier time looking over his shoulder. Being in the Cooper gang is liable to make you some enemies.
Also likely is Dr.M has been a POS most his life and Conner didn't like his methods leading to separation, putting up with him for his abilities
@@VtnVivi
Well if he was close enough to conner, he probably learned some cooper family history and if was observant enough noticed clockwerk in all the background shenanigans possibly even glimpsing him once following conner.... or perhaps looking at him
Considering that murderous machina's nature it isn't a stretch to beilive that sweeney believed jail would be a safe place for him compared to the outside where HE could get him, it's never mentioned exactly what happened to the previous coopers allies in crime but it isn't a stretch that the owl targeted them to get at the coopers I mean he did target carmelita to get to sly afterall not to mention he has existed since prehistoric times though this brings the question of how he exactly got his hands of such advanced technology.... or another more terrifying hypothesis in that he originally had no tech and possibly was one of the very first magic users of the cooper verse, after all we never did get a look at caveman clockwerk, mayhaps it was stone rather than metal and he simply upgraded himself as time marched on and possibly explain why the parts persisted so long after his demise but eroded immediately with the hate chips destruction
He wasn't simply an engineer but a lich, possibly the very first
I hope that in the future we can get more information about Sly's parents.
Personally, I want to know more about his mother. What was her name? What was her species? Was she a thief like Conner? What was her background?
I don't know, I'm leaning more on the side of, she's not, but she was that "gal", the dame so to speak, who got Conner to settle down.
A popular theory is that she worked for interpol but eventually settled down with Connor
I'd like to think of her as a private detective who was on Conner's trail
Honestly I was always very confused by how the main villain of Sly 4's flashbacks always had Connor Cooper alone and showing off. Did anyone else ever notice how..off that was? You'd think they would take the time to animate his gang too but its like his father really was the spotlight.
I get the feeling Connor was definitely a lot more self-serving and greedy as a thief than we believe, and he only really taught those morals to Sly after he retired and started to raise him. Like he wanted his son to be better than him in the future.
Personal theory? Connor probably faked his death in a random heist and let his gang take the fall, while he went to raise a child. Dr. M probably got upset and Mcsweeny eventually got caught. Would parallel how Sly faked memory loss at the end of Sly 3. His friends forgave him and likely understood why he did it, but Connor was likely just being selfish through and through.
Sorry for the long post, lol
But what about the fiendish five?
@@AlphaTheBird Weren't they also jealous specifically towards the Cooper clan? That likely could have been amplified by Connor instigating his superiority over other thief clans more than previous ancestors
no all except for clockwerk were in it for their own reasons, usually as a coping mechanism for their upbringing and an excuse to justify their criminal actions, clockwerk was the only one with the vendetta against the cooper family for reasons which may or may not be all sly’s fault if the egypt episode was anything to be hinting towards.
I don't really count thieves in time because it was made by different devs.
@@randomrants148 Why would it not count? Devs don't matter..
I definitely don't think he's lying to some extent, as remember, M felt entitled to the insides of the Cooper valt as he stated he helped supplied some of that fortune he would never see.
Who knows what truly happened, but I'm positive that the Cooper gang prior to sly broke up cause that same brotherhood was easily broken and both McSweeney and Dr.M felt as they were tossed aside
Sly cooper reboot will be revealed on summer game fest next week (manifesting)
Gosh I hope that happens if that happens I am gonna pop off so hard
(In a good way) like I am gonna scream I might even cry
“Sorry my dear, but I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you…although I CAN throw you a VERY long way.”
@@SuperWorldJumper lol
I'll be controlling my expectations :)
I think when Sly was borned, Conner decided to reduce the amount of thieving. So Dr. M perhaps wanted to keep going and argued. Then perhaps he might have gone by his own and failed. And blames Conner for its failure.
That could perhaps explain why Dr. M so badly wanted to get inside the vault...loot = money. Thieving perhaps kept money sustainable. Looking at Sly's gang, they do make money...heck that alone I sometimes wonder how they do it.
Hmm, very interesting
Honestly, I've always had a feeling Dr. M had a hand in Clockwerk knowing about the Thievius Raccoonus. Which led to the night Clockwerk & the Fiendish Five stole it.
Just think about it, Clockwerk mentioned how the Cooper's always found a way to beat him. So we could assume Conner dealt with Clockwerk at some point, likely when Dr. M was still a part of his gang, before his unfortunate fate. So Dr. M would know about Clockwerk, and if this was when he left Conner's gang out of jealousy. We could assume he knew enough about Conner & his lineage, in order to convince Clockwerk to do something for him. While probably around the same time, he started trying to get into the Cooper Vault, for at least a few decades.
I kinda hope we get, at least some of these things explained in Sly 5 to some extent, especially if it involves Clockwerk. Provided it ever happens. :)
Great theory
Possibly, but I don’t think so. Dr. M is smart enough to know how dangerous Clockwerk is. But the biggest evidence against this is that if he was indeed working for Clockwerk, he would have requested the Cooper’s Cane. Unless this was before he had acquired the island’s deed and he found out about the cane being needed to open the door.
Besides, Clockwerk was so obsessed with the Coopers, he wouldn’t have needed Dr. M’s help to locate Conner and his family. He’s always keeping tabs and finds them eventually. And if Dr. M wanted to help, why wasn’t he a member of the fiendish five? He was certainly smart enough.
No. I think Dr. M was great as his own villain and he probably didn’t have anything to do with Clockwerk or his attack on Sly’s family.
Now that you mention it BlueKnight it makes sense maybe Dr M was Involved in some way with the attack by Clockwerk
@@TheGoodWitchLuz06 indeed, it's the only thing that makes sense
@@VongolaXZax exactly
I still believe what M said, was just out of jealousy and hate for Connor, resentment and contempt.
The game never really gave us any real details, on how the friendship fell out and why things changed.
Maybe, Dr M got greedy and wanted Conner to help accomplish his endeavors, but Conner declined, choosing to get out of the game for good, having a wife and just having a kid, Sly.
Probable!
@@VtnVivi it's a probability!
well, a spot to take note of is the headgear Dr. M is wearing. Is that JUST a head device, or is that something that he made after an injury from the incident between him and Conner during a heist or something of the like? Another thing is just as you quoted from Mc.Sweeny: "Things got tense when you were born" Perhaps Fatherhood made him take less risks towards himself and was willing to sacrifice his "Gang Members" if it meant he got home to Sly? and it's because of that possible misunderstanding or a botched heist that Dr. M felt betrayed because Conner changed the plan part way because he got scarred at some point or another? I'm literally spit balling by this juncture but you get what I driving at right?
It’s possible that happened. But we won’t know what really happened between them unless there’s a new sly game.
Well we do know that the function of said headgear allows him to plug into his monsters and contraption(s) in order to control them.
@@minc1236 very true, BUT is that just worn on his head, or is some part of it DIRECTLY connected to his skull/brain?
@@dragonicstarblade2049 That is up for speculation.
I noticed that there's no straps on the piece, so perhaps it is an implant similar the the cybernetic modifications that his monsters have.
@@minc1236 very true
We should get a Cooper Legacy Trilogy.
Cooper Legacy I: Origins
- Play as more ancestors than Sly 4
Cooper Legacy II: Sins of the Father
- Figure out everything about Conner. Sly’s mom, Dr. M & McSwinney, Remy, how he met Clockwork, etc
Perhaps Dr. M felt betrayed when Conner decided to have a family of his own, McSweeney didn't seem too bothered by that and he just reported the issue between them
Likely possibility!
Save It for Sly 5 *IF* It actually get made or they decide to reboot the entire series!
Im betting on Sly 5
I believe Conner wanted to setting down when he got marry and had a child. Dr. M got jealous and greedy. He felt Conner abandoning him and the gang for it. The treasures that the gang collected over the years, he felt he deserves his cut of the fortune.
I think the reason why Dr. M wasn't a infamous criminal like Conner because I think Conner purposely took the credit to protect his friends so the police will go after him instead of the others.
From the sound of it. Dr.M is twisting facts to make the guys question their friendship. But that doesn't mean that Cooper's dad wasn't trying to hide something. Or more importantly, hiding him from someone.
I don’t know how I’m just now funding you! However, it’s just so refreshing to meet other Sly Cooper fans! I feel like we’ve been forgotten
Imagine spending years if not a decade or two of doing world class high paying heists with two of your best buddies, only to end up in a situation where the "leader" of your bro trio retires early and goes to play family with "some woman" he hooked up and made a baby with, while sending the GOD FATHER UNCLE of that child to prison as a retirement, and you two get NOTHING in return while keeping all that money and loot for himself. And then he expects you to be ok with that. Conner sure did not know what equal pay is. No wounder why Dr.M is obsessed with his anger towards Connor and the rest of Cooper family.
In a nutshell.
_"Who are you, that do not know your history?"_
If Conner Cooper ever makes an appearance in the Sly Cooper franchise I'd feel like he would be like Shadow the Hedgehog
As I said to Dr.M all those years ago we are all individuals I may be a part of this a member of the Cooper line but in the end I'm just me not henriette, Thaddeus, slytunkhamen, Rioichi, Tennessee kid, or my father Just Sly
First and this is a interesting topic Vivi
so glad another sly video
Amazing video as always! There’s still so much sly cooper life left on this channel!
I appreciate it!
@@VtnVivi all good! :)
I don't want to say that Conner got greedy because you would think if he wasn't a good friend to Dr. M, wouldn't he act the same way to McSweeny? I think that Dr. M got envious of his booming thieving legacy and that jealousy filled him up with hatred towards Conner.
That's how I feel.
Also, I could've SWORN that I've heard Dr. M referred to Conner by name somewhere in Sly 3.
I also wanna add on that the Cooper family has so many enemies that want to get revenge on them: Dr. M, Clockwork, Le Paradox. That might say something about the family.
That honestly wouldn't sound far fetched!
For sure!
Great video! Keep the good work up
Thank you!
Love your vids man
I appreciate it :D
I think it would be a good idea to have Connor make his appearance in Sly 5 and even the Sly Cooper TV Show. In Sly 5, it would be interesting to have Sly learn more about Connor to see if Connor is who Sly thinks he is despite the feud between Connor and Dr. M.
Just like in The Batman, if you seen that movie, Bruce Wayne learned the truth about his father Thomas Wayne. And in Sly 5, Sly needs to learn the truth about Connor.
I highly doubt that the Sly Cooper TV show is gonna happen any time soon but we'll have to wait and see how all of this goes once they make Sly 5.
I think Conner just used dr m to come up with a plan and that's it, and didn't care for his well being
Possible!
You should definitely do sly cooper videos more often. They're soooo gooooooood!
Thank you!
willcome back my man 👍 and i will support you all the way
Thank you!
My mother told me that my father was not the very best at expressing his feelings for others sometimes he could be a very Stern man other times he was a kitten.
"You came all this way for answers. Only currency I have."
I think Conner was very young, so he made some mistakes with his team and his wife later on🤔???
Conker as Conker from “Conker bad fur day”?
@@shadowclaw7210 No, Sly Father.
Every time I watch your vids I have hope for sly 5 and how good it's gonna be. 😎
If sly5 does come out and if they find find Sly in Egypt maybe Sly will find out who his father was and what kind of things he's done before he died
Sly coming back home would be their best chance at exploring Connor. Forward in time? Why not have Sly find his father, albeit unintentionally?
I think that Dr. M. Having an ego did contribute, but also that either Conner himself was letting his "friends" get hurt more after Sly was born, Conner was always kind of not as great of a friend, the Cooper legacy and rules of the vault were always this controlling if the treasure, Conner in particular was controlling of the treasure from his gang, or any number of combinations of these reasons. Though we can all agree Sly is the better in terms of companionship and valuing of his friends and team, permitting the good writing.
Yeah Sly put his neck on the line for the gang more than once. Two big instances was the end of sly 2 turning himself in to inspector Fox in exchange for letting the gang go free. Then Sly 3 him throwing his cane at the monster to save Bentley and almost losing his life for it. I'm guessing Connor didn't put the gang before himself like Sly did which marks the trait of not only a true friend but a true leader.
...Guys... what if Dr. M had told Clockwerk then, where Conner lived with his family.
You see Mcsweeney said in that comic too that: -'Your pop was a good man'.
Conner couldn't be a bad friend, maybe he just wanted to move on with his life, while Dr. M didn't want to change his life (or then his ego was really high after every missions).
This is kind of random I know, but what do your think?
Dr. M expecting too much or being delusional are things I could imagine.
I think Connor put his family over the gang on their last heist and the his gang took it the wrong way
This is an interesting idea scene we barely know anything about slys father Conner
It is possible that he might have been a jerk but who knows
It would be interesting to see this being explored in a future game heck I hope they explore slys parents more not just his father but also his mother
I always thought that "laying low" was an effect of Sly's birth... but when you bring up the possibility of a Dr. M/Conner feud, that makes it seem like I had missed something.
Right? :O
A few things to note here, one is a question as to why is sly's father's picture is ruined INSIDE the valt as the villen had to use an alternate route to get to the inner sanctum?
Second is how Connor learned about an ability to slide on laser beams?
And finally my own thoughts about how Connor and his gang ended up, most likely the police or government officials caught Connor but like Carmelita was somewhat a friend as well, but because of the high level of heists they made someone had to go, so Connor let McSweeney take the brunt of the fall as, like Mury, he can handle himself as well as he's a good friend of the family Connor would've known sly some day would want to know about the family valt, Connor's 3rd member (sorry can't remember his name accurately enough) would've thought this was a big betrayal despite the fact the other two walk free, until some old enemies make their rounds in sly 1's back story, this adds up sense sly's back story never seamed to indicate that his father wasn't ever even worried about anyone coming after him and his family, once again until the claw gang showed up.
side note as it's more of a personal disappointment is a question as to why sly doesn't use the laser grind after this ONE instance, I do know it would've made the game a WHOLE lot easier but it could've been a gadget after the game's ending as more of a nod that sly can still use this skill but only in certain situations.
That ripped portrait I believe I brought it up somewhere, just can't remember which video. Yeah the laser thing also baffles me...heck I guess it shouldn't because Sly's ''magical'' cane unlocked the vault.
🥈 i wonder who's sly's mother is
Call this a crazy theory but my friend thinks sly is slytunkalmon the first and sly is his own ancestors 🤔 i don't think so
@@blueraccoon1088 I doubt they would do that in a PG-13 game. Pretty much the same reason why the miners from sly 3 rumble down under drink lemonade instead of bear and why the Klaww Gang from sly 2 deal with spices instead of drugs.
@@TylerTheShepherd the censorship lives on top roll into us
There is a difference between Connor and Sly, Sly is a Real true friend to bently and Murray,and cares about like his Brothers cause they we're oprhans, they through alot together,and fought lot of baddies and over came alot as well and is more of a Family then a gang,in my eyes, Well Connor was Selfish or is selfish at the time before he given his life to keep sly safe and even though he did mess up, he had one last Job to do..to protect his son...even if it caused him his life.
Didi you see the new trailer for final fantasy 16 yet at all? That was so epic I thought! Summer 2023 can’t come soon enough even though I still don’t have a ps5 yet lol
Oh hey Vivi in kingdom hearts 2, did you ever interact with Donald and goofy after sora wakes up in twilight town at all? I love it when goofy says “don’t go back into the mansion. You might fall asleep again.” That always made me laugh! Could you imagine if they actually did that? Lol
You know something I never really understood, when sora, Donald and goofy were in that year long slumber in between kh1 and kh2, how exactly did they get transported from castle oblivion to twilight town? Did namine used some sort of magic to take them there or something like that? It always confused me lol
Namine is such a unique name I think. If you take out one of the n’s bad re-arrange the letters, it spells anime. Have you ever noticed that at all?
2 years ago lol, time flies
Tell me about it!
@@VtnVivi I already told you about it.
Joking lol
This is totally random ik, but have you ever made a video going through the sly cooper reddit page?? it’s got some really interesting ideas, art and theories
I have a question, did you previous video about how did portrait of kid Sly and his father end up in the Cooper Vault? Was Mcsweeney put the portait?
If I recall, I did mention it somewhere. Off the top of my head, I can't remember which video it was.
I don't think Sly's father was a bad person. Dr.M's conversations with Sly and Bentley point to him having an inferiority complex. From what I can tell, Dr.M wasn't as infamous as Conner, thus his hand in the Cooper Gang's successful heists was rarely acknowledged if ever. Whether Conner was purposefully hogging the spotlight or Dr.M's plans were that good is beyond me. However, I think Conner unintentionally became the more recognizable person in his gang. Just like how Sly is now. I mean when you think of the Cooper Gang, you obviously first think of the person it's named after. Hell, Dr.M called that out. Also, remember in Sly 2 that Rajan had no idea who Murray was? Things were probably like that in Conner's gang. McSweeny probably didn't mind it, but obviously, Dr.M was different.
The thing that probably broke the camel's back was the Cooper fortune. I imagine that Dr.M wanted some if not most of the loot that he helped collect over the years. Conner either offered him a small amount of the loot or outright denied him. Considering McSweeny called Conner a good man, I assume it was the former. Dr.M then got pissed about either option and from then on started his narrative about the Cooper's being "dirty, attention-grabbing thieves".
Yes, this makes the most sense out of it all
Interesting scenario for sure!
How’s that kingdom hearts interview video coming along? I’ll bet your hard at work on it?
Is that collection guide just the guides for the PS2 versions put together into one book or is it a new guide? Also do you know a place I could find scans for both? I'd like to give them a look over for any other information, however scant, like the name of Sly's father that they may contain. It's always interesting to see what information makes its way into guides and other supplementary/promotional material but not into the games itself.
The Official strategy guide is a new guide, purposely made for the Collection.
Little late to the party. What if Conner cared more about preserving and keeping the Cooper Legacy as the 'Master Thieves'?
Dr. M felt he was cheated out of some of the fortune. Maybe Conner would grab most of it and haul it to the Cooper Vault?
But Conner would need to get to the island which seems remote and possibly had Dr. M make the transportation there but only McSweeney and Conner would go but Dr. M tailed them or hid something he could listen in on their conversation?
I think Connor might not have been a good friend to M, but was a better friend to the Walrus guy, said Walrus turned himself in to defend the secrets of the Coopers. Maybe Connor knew M was...Not completely there.
Nice
Maybe Dr M is jealous of the friendship that Sly and Bentley have 🤔 maybe Dr M and Slys dad were best friends until maybe Dr M wanted to take credit for everything but perhaps slys dad didn't want that and that's probably what made Dr M hate him so much
So we can imagine Dr. M on the delusional scale? Yup I could imagine that!
I want a game with Conner cooper and dr m and los Swaney
also is it possible doctor M is wearing slys father gloves?
Who knows :O
There are many possibilities that could've went on between Dr. M & Connor such as probably after Sly was born he neglected Dr. M because he had to provide for his family which Dr. M wouldn't understand & maybe Connor tried persuading him of telling his side is when things got heated between them as well, but like i said many possibilities right man.
Too many possibilities!
@@VtnVivi indeed so many
olvide que estaba suscrito a este canal 🎊🎊🥵🥵🐀🐀👍👍
Gonna be honest helping in crime is way different than risking your life for little in return with all benefits going towards sly. Aside from that he’s grown paranoid and deranged where he also has shown that he isn’t an honest person as he tried to frame murder as self defence, too bad if it was taken to court, Dr.M has escalated the conflict and on attempt to leave the property. I think it’s enough to show that M doesn’t just want fortune he wants destroy sly and want his blood spilled.
If there was any truth burried in his statements, it’s likely that he didn’t see eye to eye like Penelope in 4 where she wanted money her way and as much as possible through said method.
couple things come to mind. Spitting stuff off the top of my head (i haven't read any comments so if I say something someone already has, those people said it first)
1. What if when "things got a little tense" means that once Sly was born, the whole "I'm a dad and I need to be there for my son" feeling hit Conner pretty hard, and since the thieving life CAN be pretty dangerous (depending on which police or fellow thieves are chasing you), Conner may have wanted to greatly reduce his capers, or stop them all together. If that would be the case, maybe Dr. M wasn't ready to give it up, and wanted to do bigger and better heists, but Conner was really trying to be a dad at that point. Maybe Conner even knew about the Fiendish Five back then, and knew that time was short, and so did the best he could to BE a dad to Sly before time ran out.
With Conner not there, and Dr. M no ready to give up, perhaps McSweeny and M went to pull off a caper of their own, with M leaving not-so-subtle hints and wiggle room for Conner to come in a help/save them incase things went sideways. The caper happened, but Conner never showed, and possibly even provided evidence against M and McSweeny as a now very direct message to say "knock it off, I'm done, I need to be a dad" and M took it not only the wrong way, but also hard. McSweeny might have just been caught in the middle, where he could see Conner's want to be a dad, but also didn't want to give up the thieving life. As far as I remember, he doesn't really seem to harbor a grudge against Conner, or he hides it REALLY well when talking to Sly and accepts that Sly is not his father, where as Dr. M is basically pulling a "sins of the father" trope. (though I could be wrong, its been a while since i read them).
2. What if the heists Conner's gang pulled off never mentioned anyone else in their reports within the papers? Crediting Conner with ALL the planning and the official heists? The papers shown in (i think) Sly 1 usually mentioned the entire gang and one group pulling off the heist, but in Conner's time, might have singularly credited him with the heists and not the entire gang. Conner may have been reviling in the attention, but Dr. M meanwhile was stewing that he wasn't getting ANY recognition accept a thanks from Conner when things went right.
-T.K.
1. Nice scenario! ''Your father was never such a good friend''... if Dr. M thought Connor raising his kid was selfish, then yeah, I don't know what else to say about Dr. M's rationale. Pretty twisted if that were the reason.
Dr. M not getting the recognition is something I strongly believe especially with his ''attention-grubbing'' line.
This really could had gone down, in one of two ways.
1
Conner really was a good friend, but Dr M could've become too ambitious and wanted more, asked Conner to join him but he declined, making M feel betrayed,(which would lead to the, your father was never such a good friend line?)
I also believe he could be the one that drop the dime on Conner's whereabouts to clockwork and I know how intelligent he is, but Conner could had been that one Cooper that gave clockwork the slip and even with all his resources, he still couldn't find Conner.
Or 2
Conner might have been a bit selfish with his crew, done something to tick Dr M off, and then it lead to his own demise.
1. Too ambitious and somewhat delusional? Yes, I could imagine that.
I'm lean towards 1 myself, I believe Sly's dad did believe in honor among friends
There's two sides to every story. We'll never hear connor's side of the story because he's dead but if I had to guess most likely they're is some truth in what Dr. M was saying. If he just a mad man that just hated the coopers and slys dad for no reason theres no way he would of acknowledged the fact that there was a close bond between Bentley and sly.
Plus if you guys remember and I'm surprised no1 brought this up. Bentley started to question his friendship with Sly too. Like he was being used I ain't sure it was because Bentley overheard Dr. M and Sly conversation on the blimp. But Bentley started to question it too until murray quickly snapped him out of it. Now did Dr M and mcswanney have a similar encounter and mcswanney couldn't say the same thing about Connor? we don't know. I mean it's kind of crazy for Bentley to say that after a bit ago sly almost got eaten for saving Bentley from Dr. M's monster. I mean think about Sly threw his cane his most PRIZED possession the key to the cooper vault at the monster to save Bentley. I mean if that doesn't show true friendship idk what does. Sly could of EASILY walked away and bently even told him forget about me and save yourself. But Sly didn't do that he threw his cane he was willing to sacrifice everything he worked for to save Bentley.
But that being said. With everything that happened I think yes There was some betrayal by connor to Dr. M. Or Dr. M saw the bond between Bentley and sly was so strong he had to acknowledge that their friendship was much stronger.
Sometimes I wonder if Penelope overheard Bentley and...you probably know the rest. Nice breakdown!
@@VtnVivi oh yeah I forgot about that lpl
i think sly's father will come back and fake his death
It's been so long...I could only imagine the look on Sly's face.
Okay, I think we all know about having some things after the father and some things after the mother, right? So, if we use the theory VIVI once made, that Sly's mother is an ancestor of Carmelita (or Carmelita herself), then that would mean that she (probably) was full of justice. So, that could mean that Sly took his look from the father, but the personality😏 from his mother. Which means, that he was more just, than his father. But remember, that's just a theory, A GA- wait, wrong channel.
I have felling that Coner most likley took all credit for his ideas
And Dr.M just wanted some ackwolegdment for his ideas
Or Perhaps Dr. M wanted too see insides of Cooper Vault but Conor probaly declined knowing that it’s built for Cooper
Sure Conor may have made some mistakes while being freind with Dr.M but he still cared and raised Sly before Fiendish Five murdered him
I mean Mcswenny never said anything Negative about Sly’s dad, maybe Dr. M tried to convince MCswenny to ask Sly’s father for Cooper Vault but MCswenny probaly coudn’t backstab Sly’s dad
It's possible that McSweeney and M had a different dynamic with Connor. The former being closer to Connor whereas the latter felt undervalued...that's if Dr. M wasn't lying.
I still don't belive Sly is in ancient Egypt he might be in normal Egypt bc of how they ended it but anything is possible or do u think they should reimagine the franchise first
*Sly*
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios I was typing really fast
I believe they should at least wrap up that cliffhanger...even if it means a comic book.
I don’t think dr M is lying the way like you said his tone changes just doesn’t seem like something you would make up it seemed genuine and it would be incredibly interesting to see Connor not being much of a good person
R the spongebob squarepants movies successful enough that there'll be a 4th installment of spongebob movies at some point?
It's not impossible majority of sly's ancestors were bad people and that the whole honorable thief thing only came into being later down the line after all Dr.M wasnt the only person spurned by a selfish and "bad" cooper ie clockwerk who im convinced became mechanical around slytankamen's era since it's likely the thivious racoonous was first made by him maybe in sly 5 but then sly himself would be 40ish along with bently and murrey unless they pull a samurai jack
How are you man miss you bro
Not too bad, hanging in there! And you?
@@VtnVivi good are you still working at the candy store I want to buy candy from you
Now that you mentioned it how long was mc sweenie in jail for? Did DR.M wanted mc sweenie to be broken free?
I sometimes wonder what made McSweeney REALLY decide to turn himself in.
@@VtnVivi
Indeed!
The rumored TV Show was canceled right?
Yeah
We believe it's cancelled...sort of. It was never officially stated though so who knows about its true status. Perhaps PlayStation Studios has something to do with it.
My personal thought is that Connor wasn't exactly a saint, I reckon he was more reckless than Sly and probably took more than his fair share of the credit for successful heists, but I don't think he was as bad as Dr. M made him out to be. I reckon Dr M has always had a dark and selfish side, so probably resented Connor being the leader of the gang. When Connor became a father to Sly, he likely toned down the heists a bit so as not to endanger himself or his son, but this angered Dr. M as he felt he was holding the gang back from reaching full potential. Maybe Dr M took matters into his own hands and planned a super heist, but in the process got caught or badly hurt and Connor refused to take the fall for him, letting him reap what he sowed. This is all just speculation of course. Though McSweeney doesn't seem to harbour any resentment towards Connor, making me feel more it was Dr. M's problem.
I agree with you, it explains why McSweeny was referred as “Uncle Jim” to Sly, cause I think he protected Connor, his wife, and Sly when Dr.M tried to attack them or something. What do you say to that, Vtnvivi?
Bread
Dr. M is wrong about Sly and his Father.
Dr. M being wrong, lying or delusional even could be it. There's so many possibilites!
Conner isn't his father's name smh. Nobody knew his "name" in the OG Trilogy. His name was a fan made name someone randomly gave him years ago and everyone ran with it. And, we never saw his father's face bc that disaster Thieves in Time doesn't count. If it's not SuckerPunch version, then it doesn't count.
Whatever the case really is, the name Conner still managed to appear in the ''Official'' strategy guide.
@@VtnVivi Bc a random person made up that name. Keep up the Sly vids tho 💯
i like the sly games onistly the 4 game was the worst changing the story the art of the caricter and story of the caricters as for dr m i think somthing went wrong maby one of the heighst and mc sweeny helped conner escape and dr m gad got caght in the cross fiyer of it maby this is just a thery
edit; to ad me persanaly thinks the 4th game should not be apart of the seerys give me hate if you disagree or it should be apart of the seerees but made by the peeple who made 12&3 becas if they made it difrent then fine but anouther compiny made it difrent maby change the story abit from the 4th game we got like tenisy kid cooper in the 1st 2cand and 3rd game he looks difrend and i thought rioichi cooper was a girl and now they change rioichi cooper to a male but jujing by the name i gues i should have nown and the jeeny guy his disin has changed and you have to have a speshal outfit to do the slow time moov now sorry for the spelling mistakes
If only there was an update on sly 🦝
I feel ya!
Honestly I was always very confused by how the main villain of Sly 4's flashbacks always had Connor Cooper alone and showing off. Did anyone else ever notice how..off that was? You'd think they would take the time to animate his gang too but its like his father really was the spotlight.
I get the feeling Connor was definitely a lot more self-serving and greedy as a thief than we believe, and he only really taught those morals to Sly after he retired and started to raise him. Like he wanted his son to be better than him in the future.
Personal theory? Connor probably faked his death in a random heist and let his gang take the fall, while he went to raise a child. Dr. M probably got upset and Mcsweeny eventually got caught. Would parallel how Sly faked memory loss at the end of Sly 3. His friends forgave him and likely understood why he did it, but Connor was likely just being selfish through and through.
Sorry for the long post, lol
Interesting perspective!!!
