Hi there! Back again with the film theories.
The first one is going to be “Film Theory: Can The Lion King SURVIVE on Bugs?”
MatPat describes the scene in Lion King, where Simba runs away from home and lives with Timon and Pumbaa. Simba starts to get hungry and Timon tells him if he’s going to live with them, he has to eat like them, which are bugs. MatPat questions, “Can lions actually survive off of bugs?”
I think his argument was good. MatPat takes you on a cohesive journey about his argument. He didn’t leave me with questions on what he was stating. He finds useful details to figure out his argument like, the location that is based off of the movie, the timeline between Simba running away and rejoining his colony and Simba’s “diet” is similar to a lion’s diet that is in captivity. Simba should be eating approximately 3 kgs of meat per day, so he should be eating about 3 kgs of bugs per day. Using multiple bugs based off of the location, MatPat finds that termites are the “perfect” meal for a lion. But if a lion ate bugs for 3 years, they would lose their tooth that rips and grinds meat off of bones. At the end of The Lion King, Simba and Scar has to fight. Simba could no longer use his teeth to fight, meaning that Scar would win. I agree with MatPat’s point.
The last one is going to be “Film Theory: The Cars in The Cars Movie AREN’T CARS!”
MatPat states that the cars in The Cars Movie aren’t cars. His argument was not good. I could not follow through with his points. He exaggerates in most of his argument. I would not guess that they had brains based off of one clip.He goes on saying that the outer part of a car is their exoskeleton, which is ridiculous. You see in the movie that Buzz is walking without his tires and that the tires represent his feet. That would the last assumption I would make about that scene. At the end of the video, he claims that the cars in The Cars movie are actually bugs. I disagree with his statement.
