    Fun fact: Courage's dialogue decreased after the first season. This is because the creators at Cartoon Network thought Courage "talked too much" and wanted his dialogue cut short.

    The crazy thing about this IMO is that Thea White who voiced Muriel had actually passed away before MATPAT played this so the memorial for Muriel felt pretty sweet.

  • @user-2012July-A

    Courage was one of the bravest characters I'd ever seen as a kid, and even now. His name suits him, for even in his fear of nearly everything around him...he loves his family more than he fears. He and scooby doo were my two favorite characters growing up. Both were easily frightened, but again, both would, when faced with the danger of their friends/family, stand up against the thing they feared. Truly, courage is not the absence of fear, but perhaps overcoming fear for something else, like say, love?
    As I grew up I was faced with many things I was afraid of. However, the thing that made me face my fears was the love of my friends and family. I love/loved them more than anything. There was no amount of fear that could stop me if I set my mind to doing something. Really brings back memories.

  • @grandpatan9808
    @grandpatan9808 Před rokem +19

    Here's a theory: Mr wheeler and the Father are part of an association called the "Old Wind" which explains why there's a room with a symbol on the floor and chairs in a circle. I think The father left because he had an argument with Mr Wheeler or one of the other members of the association. Mr Wheeler came to finish the argument. Mr Wheeler being pictured as a creepy monster is actually a symbolic way of saying he was evil.
    Also just a random input, I think the argument had something to do with following the Ways of the Old Wind. Mr Wheeler had learnt the ways and became corrupted. Seeing how corrupt he became, the argument started when Father said he wanted to leave the association and spoke against it. Eleanor is another member who defended Father and was his close friend. Than Eleanor left, faked her death and changed her name.

    As much as I would love to be a freak, accident found, unreleased game, I simply believe that this game dev duo made the game themselves. It's still a fun thing that they did, but after looking at the graphics of their own games, it's clear that they prefer that era of 3D engine graphics. The jump movement of courage is very similar to their other games.

    Here's something I thought about: Eleanor and Robert sounded a lot like Muriel and Eustace. Muriel was just being nice and knew better about causing trouble, a parallel to Eleanor following the rules of the Old Wind. Eustace, meanwhile, was greedy and would only think of himself, not caring about the consequences; he usually died or earned some severe punishment. Robert was the same, using the Old Wind to find immortality, leading to his punishment of becoming a monster. Just a thought, but I wonder if it means anything.

    I think that Elenor is being told this story. “It was her, Eleanor” is the main character telling Elenor who “Father” was seeing/ why he was gone

    Courage is a oddly fitting name for a dog that’s traumatized and scared of everything

      The name Courage isn't meant to be being unafraid or living without the presence of fear
      But rather acting on with the presence of fear.

      Courage isn't not being afraid. Courage is going on even after being afraid and not giving up.
