film

theory

ruining your childhood since 2014. but you know what I'm not happy with just ruining your childhood oh no I also have my sights set on your children's childhood today we are breaking new ground by looking shows that kids like these days and my kids, I mean three year olds, specifically my son Oliver, yeah it's another installment and my son asked me to watch this and now you have to suffer the consequences of my three years. -old is programming a youtube channel with 10 million subscribers without even realizing it, they just grow so fast now, I admit I really like this program.

Paw Patrol is a team of six pups led by a 10 year old boy named Ryder, each pup has a specific set of skills based on emergency services there is chase, police officer, marshall the dog, firefighter, sky, The aviation dog, debris, the construction pup, Zuma for water rescue and Rocky for garbage collection, every once in a while, you have a special guest dog that makes an appearance like Everest. the mountain pop or liberty the city pup, but for about 90 episodes, this is our main team and from there, each episode is pretty formulaic, they're in the city of Adventure Bay, there's some disaster, like a windmill blows breaks or someone gets trapped. a cave the paw

patrol

is called to action they get dressed we hear this line ready for action riders sir there is a short mission they slide down and charge into their specially designed pup mobiles and through some combination of skills the day is saved and A lesson Generally learned, the lesson for me is that a surprising number of problems can be solved using a winch.

I'll need you to use your winch to chase. I'll need you and your winch. I need your winch. Get your witch out of the chase too. The more you look, the clearer it becomes that they had no idea what to do with some of these puppies. Marshall with his fire rescue team, rubble mvp total with his construction tools, the best boy, Zuma the water dog, meanwhile, yeah, you can sit with this one, buddy and the. The next one and the next one, you know, they're just posing for the lunchbox, to be honest, this is one of the most relatable kids shows out there because it's self-aware and uses the formula for some really solid jokes, like this one when the aliens come to visit.

Adventure Bay is a whole can of worms, I feel like I should probably unpack at some point, but not today, he slides down the watchtower and jumps into his vehicle like the pups do in each and every episode, just that here because the formula demands it, it also does it. his name was called out, it's a nice touch, then you get stuff like this when the construction dog debris gets trapped, the only one available to drive his rig is Zuma, we need his truck to move the rest of the rocks once we get him out , Zuma, uh, in the double and it just fails zuma is just the butt of all the jokes sure it's all designed around some very obvious merchandising opportunities but look how cool this is I gotta get one for ollie um uh we got I have to get one for ollie but hey, at least the show is aware of this fact.

Officially licensed Paw Patrol merchandise. This is selling like hotcakes. It's funny because it's true, isn't it? Oh, that's right, Matthew. Now the program is already packaged with a lot of really obvious questions. How come dogs are the only animals that can talk? Why doesn't Adventure Bay have a normal police force or fire department? When will Katie finally admit that she's in love with Ryder? It's true that the last one could be me, but that's how it is. Obviously they would make a power couple anyway, leaving those questions aside, there was one moment that really stood out to me, a moment in the first season that stood out to me because it was a little strange and prompted me to dig deeper and Oh wow, I did it. begins to lead me down the darkest possible path for this universe, one that convinced me beyond a reasonable doubt that the paw

patrol

is dead and not in just an oh this was a dream route or something, I say it inside from canon shows that members of the paw patrol have died and been actively replaced so get all your good pups on because this is going to be a rough ride ready for action sir rider because matpat is on the case so time What made me start digging deeper was from season one episode 9a, the pups get rubble where we learn about how the rubble got to the construction pup to join the paw patrol.

This is actually one of the few origin stories we get for any of the pups, the only other one we see is for Chase in the Paw Patrol movie, which I'll come back to later in this episode, we learned that Rubble was in Actually the last member of the team to join was basically a stray pup who needed to be saved after the Paw Patrol rescues him. He accompanies them on their next mission to rescue a snowboarder trapped on a snowy mountain when the rider's shovel can't dig out the snow. Baby Rubble steps in to save the day when bravery ends up earning him a spot on the team and he receives his signature puppy.

Tag the helmet and construction vehicle indicate the end credits, everyone is fine, wait, take a closer look at what happens in the episode. Ryder calls the pups to stay tuned for the mission briefing, which he does all the time, but he's looking at the big screen, right? notice the puppy tags along the bottom the fire is marshall the star represents the chase and recycling of the police force is rocky the propeller is the sky the anchor is zuma but seriously, no matter how little it is used, It might as well not be there and of course the wrench is for debris, but this is the first time we've encountered debris.

He was literally saved by the team less than an hour ago, but he has a dog tag on the screen, a tag he won't get until he proves himself in the At the end of the episode, his yellow segment is also already on the puppy shelf. from Ryder, how could he be there if they don't have a construction puppy yet? The only way this would make sense is if there was a construction pup before the rubble. You'd be forgiven for

think

ing this is an animation error or something, but the evidence proving that there was a puppy before the rubble really starts to pile up once you look for it, at the end of the episode we see Ryder hit the rubble his construction helmet, but if you look closely at the helmet, it has scratches as if it had been used.

This is not a new helmet for a new profession within the Paw Patrol. This helmet used to be the latest construction pup helmet. Debris is also delivered to the construction platform. which also has wear on the front of the excavator part, see the paint wear off again, it has been used before, although most notable is the fact that the debris is too small for the vehicle and Ryder explicitly says that It will need to grow first before it can do so. really get to the wheel, you have to grow up a little before you can get to the wheel, but you will get there.

All the other pups have vehicles that fit them perfectly, in fact when other new pups join the paw patrol like Everest Tracker and Liberty, their gear fits them perfectly the first time, so Ryder is clearly capable of doing equipment that fits the debris when it is small, but you don't know it. Why must it be some kind of inheritance. He already had the equipment from the latest construction puppy. available, why make a completely new vehicle if there is one in perfect condition waiting to be used? And again, if you

think

I'm looking into this too much, here's definitive proof that I'm right, you'll notice that each vehicle is Ryder's numbered ATV is one because he's the leader Chase is two Marshal Three Sky Four Rocky Five Rebel Six and Zuma Seven, but did you notice a problem with that?

We know that of these puppies Rubble is the last to join the team because during the story of him. We see the rest of the team and yet here is their mobile puppy number six of seven. This is proof that there was a puppy before the rubble doing its job. The numbers don't lie. The fact that Zuma is number seven proves it. Hey, could you look up who Zuma is? finally useful for something, the more you look, the more evidence you start to see of a former paw patrol, one that is no longer with us, one that no one talks about in season 1, episode 6b, Marshall tries to break the pup's record of faster fire, implication.

Here it is that a dog held the record before him, but who are the other fire puppies in this world? No municipality outside of Adventure Bay really seems to use anything similar to a paw patrol in the Paw Patrol movie, for example, we start with a truck. driving over a bridge when captain turbot mentions the paw patrol the truck driver has no idea what he's talking about he's in shock when a puppy comes to rescue him call the police call the fire department call everyone you're an adventure bay here we call the paw patrol who you will call the same thing happens in the nearby adventure city when the news actively reports about the arrival of the guardian pups heroes cute puppies and adorable outfits whatever you call them the paw patrol was here to save the city the idea of ​​a rescue dog team just isn't a normalized thing in this universe, suggesting there was a marshall before marshall to be the record breaking fire pop, in fact, take a look at the fastest fire pup trophy, it looks exactly like marshall's fire. motor except marshall doesn't have the record same vehicle different pop just like we saw with rubble but that's when you start to notice a really disturbing trend all the puppies are stray dogs they are sad they are scared and they are alone then and only then are they recruited by Ryder.

We just covered Rubble's origin story where he is a puppy in danger, but the same is true for chasing the police dog. In fact, that's pretty much the main plot of the Paw Patrol movie origin story. He is a puppy who was abandoned on the street by his owners, he was almost hit by a car coming in the opposite direction when suddenly he is rescued by a rider and recruited for the team. I know you saw me and took pity on me for nothing. I chose you because you were. The Bravest Puppy I've Ever Seen later, in that same movie, Liberty is added to the team.

Another stray dog ​​that we see wandering the streets begging for food. How is the fruit business going? Tony, well, it would be better if he wasn't always giving you free fruit. In fact, when looking at almost every origin story we have for new members of the team, it's always the same: a lonely dog, with no connections and no home, is enlisted to be a member of the Paw Patrol, a mountain dog, a tracker. of Everest jungle dogs, yes, they are the Exactly the same way, I can't wait to meet them. Sometimes I feel a little lonely.

Will you stay here? It would be great to have a friend around. I would like to make you an official member of the Paw Patrol. Ryder collects abandoned stray dogs. and orphaned dogs to add to your team why well this is where it all starts to come together the missing puppies the new additions to the team everyone is expendable that's why it's a rescue team made of dogs Ryder doesn't use the puppies for rescues because they are the more suited to the task you are using them for because the risk of losing a human life is too great and having puppies perform the rescues means minimal human casualties if a dog dies trying to save someone from a house or a fire. rockfall, they can be replaced, in fact we see this in real life with avalanche rescue dogs, when an avalanche occurs, dogs are sent to look for anyone buried under the snow to dig them up, unfortunately, this means that in In some cases the dogs may be hit by the avalanche and not survive, but this also means that in the process they have saved the lives of any humans who had attempted the rescue and who might be more expendable than lonely homeless stray dogs wandering the streets. .

I chose you because you were the bravest. puppy, he had never seen any rider, be honest with yourself, you chose him because he was there because he was unwanted and no one would miss him in success, he becomes a top rescuer in failure, he is just another forgotten puppy that would have died in the streets ofanyway and if he dies in the line of duty then he is celebrated as a fallen hero, he is the kindest of children and if there is any doubt that these dogs are in danger just watch the show, situations become dangerous only In the movie, they're doing rescues on top of collapsing buildings, a building we're told is the tallest in the world, and in the show, sure, some episodes are like hey, we just saved a frog or hey, We brought you your school lunch on time, but sometimes there are bets where dogs hang by the teeth of runaway hot air balloons, so how does all this benefit Ryder financially?

The cost must be much less than employing several police officers, builders and lifeguards. The dogs receive treats as payment. Meanwhile at the end of each mission Ryder keeps all the cash, no wonder he always reminds people that no job is too big, no puppy is too small, it's a business of course, They will take any job, dogs really can't say no. and sure the writer attributes all of the team's wealth to merchandise, but government contracts tend to pay even better. This ten year old is literally part of the military-industrial complex and now he is expanding the operation, he is finding dogs in new cities and establishing paws.

Patrol outposts around the world Paw Patrol will always seek out Adventure City, in fact the Paw Patrol movie shows characters from the TV show actively commenting on the fact that only now Paw Patrol is becoming more well-known and To think I knew them before they were famous, it's a billion dollar business built on the backs of puppies, puppies who are expendable puppies following in the footsteps of other puppies who came before them, who died in the line of duty and have been swept away. .far from the story, that's the dark secret of the paw patrol, whenever you need a hand, just scream for help, the ones who should really be screaming are the dogs, they scream, chase, scream, debris in this series, you are those who are in the most trouble.

I just don't realize, you know, I may not end up talking to Ollie about this

theory

at least for a while, but hey, that's just a theory, a movie theory and that's it.
