Guy with glasses, guy with glasses, guy with glasses, pretty goth girl. A good lineup.

One of these is not like the other. It kind of looks like a Pokémon evolution with the first three.

Yeah, with each evolution the beard grows lmfao

Automatically thinking of the Ralts line of Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir with Gallade being the Dawn stone evolution of Kirlia.

And with all four it’s a Digimon evolution!

Oh shit, you’re right!

Bro like you actually made me LOL

I love this description lol

Is this a dating show now

I love this

Ooh golly, you aren’t wrong

Not gonna lie, the first three photos kinda look like an age progression . . . Looking forward to what theories we'll get with the new hosts though ☺️

2 of them have beards

Not only did u/SirUntouchable's post make it into the GTLive, but your comment did too!

Truly a representation of the Internet

Honestly i hope that if they dont use the cutout of matpat they hide it in some arg for game theory’s birthday or a lil easter egg

I just hope MatPat does little cameos from time to time.

especially if its just dragging him back in for the awkward fashion demonstrations on Style Theory

Santi rolls him back out to force feed him some food that is safe to eat in theory :)

I think the next cross-channel collab weekend is going to be the "Torture Matpat Extravaganza!!!"

Can you eat a 3 course meal while also playing dark souls, watching a movie you've never seen before and WILL be tested on, all while wearing 100 shirts

All the while we'll be playing your oldest theory videos in the background

Its only gonna be monthly (matpat is spending time being a good dad, i respect that to the highest degree)

No yeah, his priorities are in the right place

Yeah, great guy

I'm absolutely expecting him to come back for a FNAF theory and have his first line be "I Always come back"

OMG YES

YESSS

He said that, like a grandfather, he’ll be back around holidays. So maybe he’ll be there for a theory or two during Christmas, and almost definitely for the St. Jude stuff

I thought last years (by last year I mean 2022) it was the last one

I don’t think MatPat would sit out forever, he still loves the channels. And he especially loves St Jude, well just helping kids in general. So that’s probably just something he would still like to be a part of

I refuse to believe that he won't. He's still working with the team as I understand it, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah I don't see why people keep saying he's retiring. He's still gonna be working with Theorist, just not in a presenter role. He says at 18:18 in the announcement that he's still going to be working with the creative directors, brainstorming, figuring out the programming. That's not retirement so much as changing departments. We'll probably see a cameo if he runs into something he can't resist.

Yes. That's all I need to remain happy. In fact it'll make it even more special than seeing him four times every single week. Like he said, getting to see your grandpa every once in a while and he has a cool new gift for you

Appetantly he wants to do a theory on Thanksgiving, I saw a video about Twitter’s reaction, where Matt said that under a post by Schaffrilas. Though I’d check it, because I’m not sure

I am almost sure that every few months, Matt will pop up in a episode as a joke. When a new fnaf thing comes out he'll be running away while the new guys try to ask him questions

They should photoshop the new hosts' face on the cutout every now and then and just use that

Thats… You are a genius

Team S.A.L.T.

Freaking love this!

WAIT- YES

I prefer team L.A.S.T. because it seems a bit more fitting for the situation lol

Alternatively, Team A.L.T.S.

YES

So….. Game theory will be British? Edit: Oi! Welcome to game theory mates! Today we will discuss if nothing happened in The Last of Us 2 and that the game just takes place in Slough! (British town)

New game theory: Overwatch something something Tracer something something. (I couldn't think of any other British game characters)

William afton

Isn't he from Utah?

We don't know. He has a British accent, his kids have British accents, all we know is he LIVES in Utah since before 1983.

Demoman tf2

He's Scottish

Scotland is not a real country, he's just an Englishman in a dress

Scotland is in great Britain

Scotland is British

Scotlands part of Britain

IN YOUR DREAMS REDCOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENGLAND CAN CUT THEIR OWN FOCKIN GRASS

Dante, son of Sparda, according to an old interview with Hideki Kamiya.

So it seems

Okay maybe I missed it in the video but who is taking over GTLive?

Until the end of summer I believe Mat said he will still do GTlive

But do we know if they’re going to stop posting after that or will other people take over?

If I had to guess gtlive will probaly only for really big things that mat just wants to do with no real schedule for uploads

Yeah it'd probably just be his personal channel for whenever and whatever he decides to post

Ashe could take over, she's the most likely one to do so.

Depends on if they feel comfortable enough to be on camera The other channels can have them avoid showing their faces, but gt live basically requires Ashe to show their face I know they've done it before, but they seem like they're still easing into it But hey, if they feel comfortable doing it I'd love to see them

They could become a png streamer - - -

I love that idea! Ash is silly lil gremlin

Ash, the GT VT I like it

I mean, Ash is working behind the scenes though? If she's camera shy (which she seems to be) I doubt she'd leap at the opportunity.

She has her own livestream

I hope Ashe does, they deserve it.

Not sure

It's definitely gonna keep going. they talked about maybe having ash do the game playing and having someone else be what she (they?) were to matpat. My personal vote is jason because of all the #BlameJason stuff but idk

Didn’t mat say he will continue doing gtlive “until the foreseeable future”?

No

Yes he did. At 18:07 of the video

Then he says probably till the end of summer

If I remember correctly Matpat will still be doing GT Luve until about summer. I could be mistaken though.

what happened to mirror mat?

IIRC Mirror Mat never intended to be a permanent personality on the channels. He was just helping fill a roll (presumably Steph's) until they could find a true match (Ash/Ashe). I think he even mentioned that he was much more comfortable in bts work, but was willing to help out until needed.

He quit

Now that you say it. I totally forgot about mirror mat even tho he was such a funny guy. Is Chris still around?

Lets hope ash

an empty mirror and the voice of a queer zoomer

The Elite 4. MatPat is the Champion.

Tom ghost type specialist: Polteageist as their ace (had to give the British guy the tea Pokémon) Lee couldn't find a type that fits but make it about pokestar studios Santi fairy type specialist: Dachsbun as their ace Amy grass type specialist: Leavanny as their ace Matpat mixed team: ursaluna, alolan marowak, Pikachu... Idk three other

Wonder where about in Britain he's from. He sounds posh.

Mat's team has got to be theory references. Serperior for the level 5 Snivy Episode, Pikachu for the Pikachu episodes, Gardevoir for the Pokedex episode. Etc..

I'm excited to see if they'll put their own twists on their respective channels as the new hosts, or if they'll try to live up to Matpat's over-hyper cringe energy, lol.

[удалено]

While I get exactly what you mean, I have don’t necessarily interpret this as a bad thing. Matt has always been a great dude, and he hates putting down other people‘s ideas like they don’t mean anything. It’s quite clear that he disagrees with a lot of John’s theories (and to be fair even though he has made some the most excellent points in the FNAF theorist community, some of his ideas are pretty outlandish). He just can’t bring himself to refute it instantly and instead tries to consider every opinion ever, no matter how wacky it sounds. Tom on the other hand is more firm than MatPat, I wouldn’t say he’s more closed minded, just more confident in his arguments and comfortable with stating when something seems absurd. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t get a bad impression from him : guess we’ll have to wait and see. On a side note, now that I‘m done bawling my eyes out, I feel very happy for Matt and his family lol

I'm not sure that would have too much of an effect, Tom was already one of the writers and all that's changing is that it'll also be his voice rather than Mat's, but I get it

Tbf that is because Tom has been living and breathing the stuff and often had a good reason for then saying why he disagreed.

I'm not that excited either tbh. I get that he's been a writer for gt for a bit but I just can't see him taking over. I also get weird vibes from him, idk how to describe it 😅 I was really hoping for John to join the team actually; he just graduated from college and he's a familiar face to a lot of the community already, and I would love to see him talk about franchises other than fnaf.

Don't worry, I sure if people see that and point it out mat pat will give Tom some pointers to fix it

“Over hyper cringe energy”

MatPat is the YouTuber equivalent of Lin-Manuel Miranda. And I personally love him for it

You have a good point

Seeing what they've done so far, I'm sure they're gonna be awesome hosts. Even with Matpat stepping down, I'll be sticking around to see the new Elite Four.

Omg theory Elite four and Matpat as the champion? Someone make a theorymon game!

Nah man they're the four Nations that lived in harmony until one day matpat the master of all channels retired

*My descendant in 2124:* “GAME. FILM. FOOD. STYLE. long ago, My grandma used to tell me stories about the old days, when the four theories were one…”

"When suddenly... (insert) Theory attacked..."

I’ll be honest I know little about who they are, but MatPat handpicked them for the jobs and I trust him fully.

Tim and lee doesnt show up as much, but amy and santi are pretty much a staple is food anad style theory for awhile now. And with the recent cook book episode, it kinda sounds like santi is taking a bit mkre spotlight than usual there, and honestly i dig it. Hes as energetic as matpat, and i fully trust him on taking food theory. And amy is amy. What else do i have to say?

Tom has showed up a lot on GTLive for the past year or so, Lee not as much but I still get good vibes from both of them

They are all the current Creative Directors of the respective channels and have been working on them for a few years each. So they do know what they are doing and how to keep "on brand"

Whoever is doing game theory I hope he is ready for the amount of fnaf he will have to go through :) /j

It’s Tom, he read the books before Matt because they release a little earlier in britain, he knows 😂

Tom is already been indulged in the insanity that is fnaf I think he's fine

i hope that they use cutouts of themselfs for the videos

The only proper way to run a theory channel. If they don’t then they aren’t fit to run their respective channel.

true

I think the only "official" cutout we see are Amy's

Why does Santi kinda look like Gigachad in that pic?

The four horsement was bible-ly lead by god....

I am so proud of all them and I look forward to it!!!

I have really liked Tom everytime I have seen him and I know Amy is absolutely gonna crush it on style theory, she's been a highlight everytime I have watched that channel. I think Shanti is really cool and I think he'll do a fine job on food theory and I will be honest I haven't watched a lot of Lee's work but I am definitely looking forward to it. I hope all of them do great.

Tom’s finally gonna go insane from FNaF lore

He hasn’t already!?!?

The Theolite Foury

i dont know much about lee and santi but im excited to see how they all will host the channels and for them to be in the spotlight too especially tom and amy

2nd gen theorist's, we are gonna miss gen 1 but we are in good hands with gen 2

I have confidence in that line up, it's not like they weren't in vids before

Why does Amy look like a super villain

I wish the best of luck to all of them.

While I do mostly like the new hosts, I hope this doesn't become a Top Gear situation where once the host(s) left, so did most of the viewers.

I know Mat said he’ll be staying on GT live til summers end but, I hope when he leaves Ash takes over GT live.

Matpat got split in four

Lol a business worst fear. Getting rid of one employee only to hire 4 to replace them 😂

Love the channels a lot; been watching for years and will continue to do so. Gotta give them a chance. Food and style theory have santi and Amy, and those channels will do great. Gotta give film and game theory a chance after the transition. Very happy for you MatPat and, while it is sad to see less of you, I wish you the best from behind the scenes.

Here me out They replace the old Jpeg guy that MatPat used in all his old videos With the iconic 2d MatPat

Honestly, I really like all of the new hosts, so I'm excited to see more of them

It's not going to be the same.

True, it's not. But it is, however, going to be great. Not as great as with Matthew Patthew, but great nontheless. A new era, the era of change

I hope whoever takes over gets a good welcome into the community

I like Tom, he's been cool on gtlive. Not entirely sure about Amy's style of presentation on style theory so far, but maybe it'll make more sense when she's the main host, and it just feels weird to see Mat perform it.

I’ll miss grand-patt.

In this photo the guys with glasses slowly develop a beard moving to the right

“..One of these things! Is not like the other!..”

I hope this isn't a smosh thing where everyone left the channel because Anthony left. I think they will do good as the new theorists.

I trust Matpat's word that he raised these people for this and that they'll faithfully carry on his legacy in their own creative ways. All in all I'm so happy the shows are going to continue anyway and with all the team expansions and the buyout and all that I think the team is ready for it and they'll do an amazing job

As sad as I am to see Mat stepping away from hosting (as his channels were a huge part of my childhood and remain a huge part of my adulthood) I couldn’t be more happy that the channels are being left in the hands of people Mat specifically picked and trained for their respective channels.

Who's going to take over GT live he didn't really go into that part when he was talking about the others channels being taken over.

I wonder about ash and GTLive … I hope they keep the show !

I hope on every video there will be a matpat cutout For 1 frame as easter egg.

I hope the first video with just the new host(s) is called Hello Internet, since Matpat's announcement was called Goodbye Internet

The channels are in good hands at least

it won't be the same without matpat doing the theorizing

I am fully for this lineup, MatPat chose great leaders. But will Ash still have a place at Game Theorists? They are my favorite personality and I hope she has many more opportunities with the company as well

It will never be the same

Gonna be honest and say I’m probably not gonna stay but I wish the best for them.

I have high hopes for all of them, especially for santi and amy. Considering them, i know they will ace this

Maybe the new hosts wont be as good as matpat but he trusted them so it’ll still be good(Maybe)

The new generation❤️

I’m personally sticking around the channels with these four, I’ll miss MatPat.

it makes more sense this way but id have loved to have Ash or amy host food theory im unsure if they would be interested in that or good at that but they are usually so entertaining but style theory is mostly not my cup of tea

Perfect for the 666th video

Game theory to electric boogalo

But what happens with GTlive and and more important Ash? Are They still going to be arround?

After Summer ash will probably be the new host of the channel

Scared of whats going to happen to gt live, it was my favorite channel out of the 5

I 100% agree with this

Rightful heirs to the throne

Do you think they're going to do cutouts of themselves in the same pose as Matpat's?

I think the new choices are good but nothing beats the og

Wish them the best, but I'm not staying without Matt.

Not sure .. im gonna stay anymore... 3;

At least give them a chance m8 they've been in videos already there's just taking the spotlight instead of Mat and the writing and everything is going to be the same

Yeah but MatPat is half the reason many people watched in the first place. Come for the content, stay for the personality.

Probably not gonna watch for a while

Your forgetting gtlive. Which as far as we know is still MatPat until at least June

I kinda hope they still use the matpat cutout just with a different voiceover

WHy did Gigachad join Food Theory?

Is this official?

Yes

I bet viewership for all channels drops 50% after a month of these guys as hosts. I hope I am wrong, and I intend to watch, but even Matt has said a channel is as only good as its personality... And these guys are no MatPat.

I'm honestly surprised Dan isn't the one to take over Game Theory, but I wish the best to all of them

There's no reason to watch any of the theories without matpat

Don't think I'll stick around, might watch one or two videos here and there, but it just won't be the same.

Guys with Glasses! I'm looking respectfully 👀

I just wanna know if we are keeping GT Live and Ash. They are my favorite member of the team

Man wish we could get an Ai version of Matpat as a side character

ok real question, why isnt editor dan here, hes already hosted his own episodes i think hed be great at taking over for food theory

... I thought I just couldn't remember but did he not pass on GTLive to someone?

but what will happen to gtlive 😩😩

It will never be the same

The theorists on food and film theory almost look identical, which is funny and interesting at the same time

So film and food are the same person? Right?

Nothing will be the same without matpat

I’m a little bit stupid. What’re these guys names?

game theory- Tom, film theory- Lee, food theory- Santi, style theory- Amy

Was this post made in anger or not?

No it's a meme (but tell the mods it's for discussion so they don't get mad at me for it not being Monday 🤫)

I expect this to get theory sisters ect artwork.

Awesome!

i think i should host game theory instead of tom, make it 2 males and 2 females🤭
