Intro theory: MatPat got stuck in the back rooms but decided to start analysing everything, he then found out so much that he scared the back rooms creatures away from him at first sight, now he roams the halls explaining the lore to helpless people, driving them insane

This new format is much better. It feels more like the show is a thing of it's own vs just an echo of matpat's hosted version while still feeling familiar. Good move 👏🏾

I bet Kane Pixels scoured every video of Film Theory specifically to write a script that no one could ever predict.

on the stoplight system - the indicator should change in shape as well as color, if you're sticking with the colors provided, so that colorblind people can still use it

You think the labyrinth in Greek mythology is really just the backrooms from that time period?

Dude please keep this new format, I really appreciate deviating from the original style that MatPat perfected instead of trying to replace him.

I'm so happy you posted a timeline of the backrooms. I was not keeping up with it at all

Kane has said the backrooms existed before Ivan beck was even born, so the mind theory may not work

One thing I noticed with Kane pixel’s version of the back rooms is that only man made or humans are no clipped into the back rooms, no animals, no rocks, sticks or even plants. I think it suggest that places with live electricity are able to be no clip zones, every no clipping in the series is near an electrical source as well as the tests to open the back rooms being electro magnetic. That’s why cameras and lights are effected too as well as radios and other broadcast.
