Thanos - the big bad with a tragic past. We've talked about him a LOT on this channel, except we've missed one BIG mistake. Possibly the biggest mistake Thanos made the ENTIRE movie! He put all his power into a single snap but that metal gauntlet COULDN'T SNAP! That's right, Marvel made a big no no and I am here to set them straight!

Well there goes this video

But thanks for teaching us a new way to snap :)

Me: Well cotton will get wet from your spit, and people may be crazy but we are NOT making a trombone with human skin.
As a trombone player, I can confirm that it is not made out of human skin
@RoCaBa in fact, many OG flutes and horns were made of animal bones, hence the name "horn"
But it sounds tasty :/
because you cant make a BRASS instrument with any material other than brass

I didn’t even realize I was snapping during this entire video until one of my roommates yelled “who the f*ck keeps snapping” from the living room 😂
After *13 YEARS* of never being able to snap, I learn it from THIS video. Congrats MatPat, you taught me something that no one else could 👏👏👏👏
That's what I was thinking when he explained the air thing. I used to think snapping was genetic and related to bone structure or skin texture or something. Makes way more sense now.
I think I just snapped for the first time clearly too.. I'm 32 xD

You can't say that the guy who said "reality can be whatever I want" cannot do something
Totally small detail but actually really happy he included sign language. It’s an under appreciated for of communication and cultural connection that deserves recognition. I’m studying to be an American Sign Language Interpreter and I can’t quantify the amount of times I’ve had someone say “what’s that” when I tell them my major. Small detail but means a lot. Thanks Mat Pat!

HighScore ikr?!
HighScore he literally mentioned it during the video
its just a theory a film theoryyy aaaaaand *snap*
If this is true, thanos literally used the power of reality itself to make destroying half the universe more dramatic with the snap of his fingers with gloves on.
Dwayne The rock which is exactly the power that the gauntlet gives him! The power to do literally anything at all
Who else was just consistently snapping throughout the whole video?
Stinkyink me

Stinkyink
I can't even snap but I tried
HOW DID YOU KNOW

**Me who's been snapping their whole life with their pinky finger watching the "How to snap" bit of this video**
Wait- THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!? I feel so dumb Lmao
Im laughing so hard someone asked me if i was okay
I can’t be the only one who was was looking at themselves snap through the whole explanation
Bold of you to assume he wasn’t clapping his dummy thicc cheeks at the time of the snap to make the sound
Mmmmmmmm...
You know I love me some me thanos cheeks

OBJECTION!! Thanos uses the reality stone to alter reality and be able to snap with his gauntlet.
Lord of Light but in the movie it proves he doesn't need to
10:20
“Have you ever stopped to wonder why horns are made of metal and brass?” No, in fact I haven’t really until now
Marvel: *has characters that defy gravity and shrink to the size of an ant normally*
MatPat: *talking about snapping your fingers* DO YOU EVEN SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!
The infinity stones in the gauntlet can turn solid matter into bubbles. I think they can make the metal fingers snap.
he said that at the end of the episode
UltimateKyuubiFox yesss I love that explanation
I can't :-(
Now we just need a theory exposing ProtoMario for what he's become.
UltimateKyuubiFox You just debunked his entire theory, I think he just wanted to talk about snapping.
He have the universe manipulating glove, He can just creating an illusion of snapping while perishing half the universe
Bao Cypher i was going to say the same thing lol
EXACTLY
Guys MatPat literally says this at the end of the video.
I can’t believe you guys dig into my channel
Bao Cypher exactly
He’s able to do that with the Reality Stone. It can make it much easier for him to snap his fingers by making the friction equal to the human hand. Thanos is also established as the toughest being in the universe and has the power stone for the force.
ty someone has a brain in here the reality stone makes you very will into reality while possesing that stone you could rip a wet fart and it could sound like michal jackson if he so wills it
@@stuffhappensdownsouth9899 I’m so annoyed that matpat is that dense to not think of that

Thanos: *Snaps*
Matpat:I don't feel so good
I dont feel too good mr stark
I suck at Video games haha
I suck at Video games it’s too soon.
No MatPat would say “Internet, I don’t feel so good...” but close enough
But there's one problem only half of him would be erased
In this video...
*I finally learned how to snap*
Considering how powerful the Infinity Gauntlet is, you'd think that snapping your fingers while wearing it would be well within its capabilities! Also, I love the use of the Salvatore KABOOM from The Wind Waker, though it would have been even funnier if MatPat used Salvatore's SPLISH in place of the snap!"
And considering he’s wearing a metal glove , it could be just metals hitting sound
Maybe the metal grinding noise is what killed half the universe
Hmmmm.....
Wies Karimi maybe he just clicked his metal fingers together
Lol
Maybe he just reality stoned the laws of physics right before he snaps
_I've never been able to snap._
in all of my life, I've been unable to join others in snapping.
all the snap required jokes,
all the snapping along to songs,
...
*_this video just taught me how to do it._*
_thank you, Matpat._
update: I am now snap god
Jademau6 i still suck and arent able to do it
I still can't snap :(
Jademau6 Upgrade: my finger-skin hurts now
make the finger cone !
the mighty finger cone will reveal all
Setting aside the fact that he has the reality stone and can literally shape reality to let him snap, I do not think the snap was essential at all. He could literally do anything else, the thought behind it is what is important, he just chose to snap his fingers. So he doesnt actually need to snap his fingers, just attempt to snap his fingers while thinking what he wants the effect to br
3:04
Spiderman in Civil War talking to Cap: That's My Line!
Captain America: Who needs it
Film Theory: The big purple alien with a god complex, a wrinkly chin and six magic rocks nestled in a metal glove can't snap because that's scientifically unrealistic.

Magic rocks; one of which can literally alter the laws of physics on a whim.
In endgame it did just have a metal clunk without the infinity stones.
I hated the thanos snap why wasnt there the thanos macarana
Maybe that means because he could do anything with them he made it do a snap. Since he didn’t have the stones he couldn’t do anything so it just made a metal clunk
Proof the reality stone did it
@@kirmit_t_frog7956 SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED AVENGERS ENDGAME
if the reality stone did it in endgame how could he snap without the stones cuz Iron man had them then thanos realized that he didin't
I guess it’s the stones making the sound because they need thought and a thought only to do anything so maybe he makes the stones do the sound then makes them LITERALLY COMMIT MASS GENOCIDE
me watching this even though I cannot snap my fingers. I JUST CAN'T.
The Pain, The Stiffness due to pain, and The amount of force to be exerted: AM I A JOKE TO YOU
He doesn't need to snap. He can THINK. The snap was the way he used to let others know
Roy this made me look at the movie with a different perspective...
Roy you should be the first comment honestly
that explainscwhy thanos said to go for the head instead of the hand
Deep shit
Umm.. Doesn't he need to close his palm to use the infinity stones? *Mind Blown*

@@danielletreitman4477 Merry Christmas
He snapped cuz he heard "all the single ladies" playing and accidentally wiped out half of the universe
I don't know there's a lot a "snap-able'' beats in that song, there probably wouldn't be a universe left by the time it was done playing. Poor guy just wanted to get his Beyonce on.
Or he did it on purpose to punish all of creation for that garbage song.
Nice
If half of the universe consists of single ladies, then why am I still single? :(
Did I just see someone from Monty Python and the Holy Grail at 2:49
That's not the sound of a snap. That's the sound of half of everyone dying.

TyNLN - That isn't't the sound of half universe die that is the sound from his right hand

"Have you ever stopped to wonder why horns are made out of metal and brass?"
It's because making a trombone from human skin is impractical and morally questionable.

I'm no Marvel comics expert. But I think I remember hearing or reading that the snap isn't necessary, like anyone can control the powers of the gauntlet with just their mind. No physical action is required to activate powers. We even see that in the film. He uses singular stones without doing any form of physical requirement, just thinking of what he wants the stone's powers to do for him.
The snap itself is just flair, showing "I can control everything in life with a simple gesture like this" like a form of showboating. When in Marvel reality. He could have done it by just thinking about wiping away half the universe.
Moonlight150 Well then
Moonlight150 I think the point of the video was to take away Thanos's big moment with science, not to prove that Thanos could not eliminate half the universe.
lolthe1st The snapping is flair though
That one of the few thing they did in the film to balance out the power of the gauntlet but in the comic he did not need to have any physical movement for the stone to work
Literally everyone knows this.
Thanos: *Snaps*
Matpat: wait,that’s illegal.
He just used the reality stone or something
Wait let's replace matpat for sssniperwolf she always says that's ilegal
Um no it isnt
*It's just a theory,A FILM THEORY*
even after he explained how snapping works i still am physically able to snap my fingers
2:15
It doesn’t even make the sound of a snap. It’s a snapping motion but it sounds more like a dull clunk. Pretty accurate.
UltimateKyuubiFox o
UltimateKyuubiFox o
welp this video is pointless then
UltimateKyuubiFox you pretty sum up what I think
After playing it back like 4 times, yeah. It's more of a clack than a snap. Another pointless vid. :(
Considering Thanos has the REALITY stone, who else thought he could have manipulated Reality/Physics to allow himself to snap his finger?
I did
I shouldn't be watching theory videos while high
Thought that when I saw the title
In this essay I will ....
Exactly the comment I was looking for.

I feel your pain. :'| Edit: ok I take that back. I learned how to snap right here right now.
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST NON-SNAPPERS!😂
I couldn't snap forever, but then a good buddy finally caught me how! I was nineteen but I was so proud of myself I'd do it all the time! Now it's a nervous habit
Imagine if Thanos told Thor "You should have aimed for the head" and instead of snapping *he just dabs*
Emi Rose No....just.....no. Dab(ing) has got to be the single dumbest damn thing that anyone has ever come up with. Whomever got that shitty trend going should be shot dead.
WIG SNATCHED agreed on all points but one, there was nothing small about the dab trend
That would be Atlanta Hip-Hop artists. As much as I hate dabbing, just imagining Thor's confused look as he does it is actually kind of hillarious to think about.
No. End of story.
That would be hilarious😂😂😂 (even know dabbing is kinda dead but I don't care it's still funny imagining it!!)
There actually is one logical reason that he could snap like that. One part of the gauntlet is the Reality Stone, which of course lets you manipulate reality. Something as simple as adjusting the air movements slightly would be much easier than what happened on Knowhere, so the actual source of Thanos' snapping sound is just that he shifts the air using the stone. Or it could be the Space Stone just as easily; I'm not totally sure, but the one enabling teleportation makes just as much sense for something based on air movements.
You should have aimed for the head
"Purple Raisin Man"
"Reality is often disappointing. That is, it was. Now, it's whatever I want it to be."
If Thanos wants to snap with the Gauntlet, he can bend Reality just to do it.
Batman Jr. Definitely true
Batman Jr. Your not wrong
I mean, Yeah that's just it. Patty won't question how you can erase half of the universum but rather that how he can snap his finger with an gauntlet
Batman Jr. You ruined the video XD

Who else kept snapping like an idiot during the video

Dang I’ve been snapping wrong I use my ring finger-
The government spent 120K just to see if thanos could actually snap his fingers. That could have saved all that taxpayer money and just watched this video.
Indeed. At least they proved Matpat right.
Exactly
This video actually taught me how to snap my fingers...
Me too! But i snap the wrong way. I use my thumb and fourth finger
I can still only snap using my ring finger. Maybe it's because my hands are kind of fucked.
JoBlo H2O same
Same
@@flammingskull4602 same! I can only snap with my ring finger and thumb. No matter how hard I try I can't snap in "the normal way"
He literally could do anything and it would work. It doesn’t need to be a snap or make a noise. He could clap, but the point is to show off how powerful he is by making an incredibly simple gesture. He doesn’t actually need to move.
But real question is why doesn't he just double the resources
The Architect Because that would ruin the character 😂😂😂
The Architect is he capable of creating matter though? I mean aside from the illusions he makes with the reality stone
Journalism Now marriage cards at is to bust your balls by destroying you favorite movies, he knows what your saying.
yes very much he can literally do anything they just had to nerf the infinity stones in the movie to make the heroes have a chance.
I can't even snap regularly without a gauntlet.
I hear pigeons can’t see glass at all unless it is smudged like a lot but they probably can
The reality stone can warp the metal so Thanos can snap.
that was, more or less, the way the video ended.
BladeOfFlames Productions
With the reality stone he can do anything. It's like the strongest stone. He can chance physics to work in his favor. Any millions of other ways to snap his finger.
The stone would be glowing if he were to do that
The reality stone makes this gauntlet the most comfortable and flexible gauntlet in the universe
Theory debunked. Matt Pat once again thwarted by basic logic.
Problem solved - Thanos created the snapping sound himself. The guy controls reality and wanted it to sound like a snap.
Matpat: brass horn loud sound
All woodwind players: we make sound too☹️
i remember your entire intro I am so sorry for being addicted to food theorists game theorists and film theorists
Bruh he got the reality stone, he just gotta make a snapping noise.
Or if i were thanos i would replace the "snap" sound with a "fart" sound
CyberMatt 9000 are you 7?
I mean yeah, the reality stone can change the whole physics rules sooo it makes sence
The Shittiest Poster true
That’s what he said at the end of the vid
You are only forgetting that the sound of the "snap" is not necessarily what causes half the universe to be destroyed, technically the movement and the power of the infinity stones is all he needs
xX_Macintosh_Xx Loco That's true. It's still interesting.
Or he could use the reality stone to change the laws of physics to make a snap possible
Bam Bi it makes reality look different not actual change it.
Prodigy Xero So...he...made a fake snap sound? He made a whole Collector out of nothing I think he's good. He controls time and power and such. Maybe he used the mind stone to convince everyone it snapped because it was his will.
EXACTLY
It isnt the sound of the snap that makes it work, it is the action that must happen because of the way the stones work
MattPatt: Talked about snapping
Me: Someone who can't even snap
Literally all I can think of now is Thanos dabbing while half the universe is erased...

THE MAD TITAN DABOS
Except there wasn't really a snapping sound, so he really just did the gesture itself. Also, the act of destroying half the universe doesn't REQUIRE the snap, he uses it as a gesture and wills the stones to act. And let's not forget, he harnesses the power of the building blocks of the universe... I think he can disregard science.
Agreed, the stones themselves just throw science out the window and do whatever they want.
TheR3aper5 I think it was less: "do magical stones which can literally bend reality follow the laws of physics as we know them?" and more "metal glove shouldn't make a snap sound as easily as shown; here's why..."
Swampet I know what he was going for, I was just being the asshole who points out the obvious
Haha i was gonna comment the same thing.
you can clearly hear it
3:33 "You, the 22-year-old master of acoustics-" Me, a 22-year-old singer **called out**
Clearly it wasn’t the glove that was making the sound
If Thanos had dabbed instead I would’ve left the theatre then and there. Though, maybe that would’ve been a good thing. You know, NOT SEEING ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS DIE. (Or get trapped in the soul stone. Whatever)
The movie came out over 2 months ago and I’m still upset.
Hipster Shady well I mean technically they didn't really die. Thanos made it so that they never existed. They were erased from existance
Cameron Pennell what’s the difference
Alex Dariad well if something does then that is the end of that life. Thanos made it so that the life never started
This is my favorite comment
Cameron Pennell yeah yeah same difference. They’re still gone and it’s upsetting
My mom: "who's snapping"
Me: "me"
My mom: "Why are you snapping"

When matpat said now you’re just being childish it I thought it sounded like Carl from llamas with hats
The "Ka-Boom!" killed me... 🤣
He has the reality stone. He can just warp the laws of physics to allow himself to do anything, including snap with a huge metal gauntlet.
Daniel Bergquist Which you have no proof of and are just making an excuse.
maxdrags3 Your saying the stone that has complete control over reality can’t manipulate the laws of physics?
maxdrags3 dead I'm pretty sure he could do that
maxdrags3 Idiot.
eh ehm he has actually done that... like duh you think that of all the people Marvel wouldn't think about this metal on metal snapping improbability ? naah I aint buying that :D
Plot twist: Thanos actually made the snapping noise by snapping his RIGHT hand while Thor wasn’t looking at it.
Kaboom, mind blown! Haha
Tran Le ... and you shouldn't be able to do THAT over the internet either. Especially with it being made if Al Gore goo and all 🤣
I love what you’re getting at, but I must point out to u that the gauntlet is actually on his right hand

He used the Reality Stone so that it appeared and sounded like a snap, though being impossible while wearing the gauntlet.
cat apree 10:30
Yeet
Late again
Dude I was litterraly about to wright a comment about that
the thing is when use the reality stone argument you open yourself for alot more questions like , if infinity stones are so strong and "magical" that it makes the gauntlet make the snap sound why couldn't it just make the wearer kill half the people just by thinking it ? why it have to be a snap ? it can change the physics but it can't change how it activates ?
happy to see that other people also questioned the fact that he could snap his fingers in his gauntlet
Dude I love you, not because of the this theory but you taught me how to snap louder and I am not talking about Persian snap but normal snap, I couldn't snap loud as my friends but by watching this video I learned it. So thanks
