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!

Thanos: *Snaps and half the universe is is destroyed.* Other Thanos: *Dabs and whole multiverse dies of cringe*

[stoneystark]

"His ability to control the Reality stone was the reason his snap was audible."
-Kevin Feige

[FridaJo_]

Thanos: This a really good song, ooh, I like the the beat!


*Starts Snapping*

[zaxbak]

Thanos:Snaps easily with a metal gauntlet.

Me:Can't Snap at all

[thebahooplamaster]

This man only asks the most important questions.

[kirinnarukami]

Dabbing doesn't need Thanos or an infinity gauntlet to kill people.

It already does that.

[weikensui]

The Film Theorist: Thanos can't snap
Thanos: is often

[LemonSaber]

Matpat: Have you ever realized why we make brass instruments out of metal?
Me: Well cotton will get wet from your spit, and people may be crazy but we are NOT making a trombone with human skin.

*40 years into the future*
*future grandchild* “Grandma what kind of things did you do as a teenager?”
*me* “I watched a YouTube video on the physics of snapping”

[iliate]

Thanos: *Snaps*




Matpat: wait, that’s illegal.

[Wixhael]

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.

[phnxtrippeer]

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 😂

[escanork]

Thanos: *SNAPS*
THE FILM THEORIST: *ThAnOs CaNt SnAp*

[Graytail]

Problem solved - Thanos created the snapping sound himself. The guy controls reality and wanted it to sound like a snap.

[blaster]

He doesn't need to snap. He can THINK. The snap was the way he used to let others know

[sassysigns]

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!

[Wittie_]

That's not the sound of a snap. That's the sound of half of everyone dying.

[isuckatvideogames]

Thanos: *Snaps*

Matpat:I don't feel so good

[priceless]

In endgame it did just have a metal clunk without the infinity stones.

[inkbat]

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 👏👏👏👏
