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.
Courage might be a scary show, but you got to admit that there are touching moments in the show. Especially for the fact that Courage loves his family so much that he willingly do the things he's scared of
Yeah. Not all scenes are horror and so. For example, in the episode the tower of Doctor zalost, the main villain was just sad. Honestly, a episode I really loved was that one with the magic tree.
Muriel being shown as player two was so terrifying. Knowing that you're no longer alone, and any corner you turn could have her staring, waiting to attack you. AH I HATE IT
I love that, the original version. I love it more than it's translation, and that's already pretty high. "Te lo juro por Dieguito Maradona" it's just *Cheff kiss*
It’s real sad that as after a bit that this was released, Muriel’s actual VA passed away. Here’s hoping Nathan includes an “In memory of” when you boot up the new version of the game he’s working on
Fred was the one character who genuinely scared me as a kid. The way he said "naughty", his uncontrollable compulsion, his creepy smile and mannerism, he gave me predator vibes before I even knew what that was.
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.
Does anyone else remember the episode when the cat was trying to kill courage because her friend/girlfriend was being abused by a dog? That was insanely dark...
ugh, yes! I remember the episode barely being about Courage too! It was mostly the two girls and Courage was just sorta there. That episode was REALLY heavy handed.
Something really creepy is me and my little brother were watching this a few months ago and when it got to the part about the “old wind” a gust of wind blew open the balcony door. We just looked at each other instantly and we couldn’t close it so we had to get our grandma to close it for us. Still freaks me out to this day. 💀💀
I feel like matpat should do a film theory on the show about the lore of the Courage family , and why they go through such terrifying things and why courage is the only one that actively tries to fight the monsters off.
There is the theory that Courage is a normal dog, and the show is how he sees the world. So the things he sees aren't as they are, but how he interprets them as a dog.
Honestly? Same here. I think part of the reason might be because the show, while it loved its disturbing imagery, if you stuck with it, the show tended to reward you with a gag of some kind. Even if it was the usual Eustace one liner or Courage's 'The things I do for love' catchphrase, it was effective enough to soften the blow, rather than if the show just gave you creepy imagery and that was it.
I remember watching this cowardly dog at my childhood. It really scared me a bit, however it was very fun to watch. And now seeing that the dog is having an arg, i'm really excited!
Glad to see courage still around these days. Ever since Thea White passed, the world was stricken with grief and felt heartbroken. I wanna say Muriel's tribute while also being a clue, is an actual tribute to Thea and i think the devs did a kindness.
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.
@@redstoneguywhoneedssomegam6365 well there were a couple of episodes where he "died" I remember one where he became a skeleton because the skull was wearing his hat. But that was a rare occurence
Fun fact: courage the cowardly dog was based off of this couple who lived in a farm basically in the middle of nowhere and they started to hear and see strange things that they thought weren’t there like aliens they started to see portals and creatures walking out of them and lights and sometimes just big glowing orbs in the sky and the dog started barking barking then went missing and then the couples went missing and nobody knows where they are Omg I have never gotten so many likes before Tysm
Now that I’ve started watching Courage again, I noticed something in the Weremole episode: after Courage brings the doctor to see Muriel after he woke up from the ambulance, he literally calls him her son. That just struck me as weird and more than a little curious. Did anyone else think there was something off about that?
And when I say he calls him her son, I mean he says, “ma’am, your son here was worried about you.” How and why would he confuse her dog for her son? There’s something really off about that.
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.
Matpat takes the phrase "It was her, Eleneor." and interprets it as someone speaking about Eleneor. Couldn't also be speaking about another female character to Eleneor, though?
i like how if this was any other show the creepy imagery and cult stuff would come off as forced but since its courage, it seems like its just a normal part of the game
It so much better here than in other found game creepypastas/ARGs. These could really be parts of a legitimate unfinished _Courage_ game and we'd be none the wiser.
When Robert comes toward courage when he's locked in place, that noise coming from Robert sounds an awful lot like the start of the song "Alberto Balsam" by Aphex Twin.
Is it possible that the symbol for Old Wind is the letters for Old Wind layered on top of each other in a strange angular font? Which makes it look like a pentagram?
Yes. Someone made a video on this a year prior to MatPat going over basically everything in this video, including this fact. You can indeed spell "Old Wind" with that symbol. I clicked on this one expecting more, since it had been over a year, but it looks like we're at a standstill.
This show never scared me when I was younger, I actually really liked it. But what DID scare me though was that one music video about the show, the one with the two guys and carnival puppets-esk design. I hated it with a burning passion then, I still hate it now.
Fun fact:courage the cowardly dog was based off of a story about a couple who had a dog and lived in a place called the middle of nowhere and when they reported strange things they went missing and only the dog was left
Roberts face is literally nightmare fuel. It made me not even wanna go to my room because i would have to pass my backdoor, because it's made of glass, and I could see outside. And seeing that face irl, I would wanna unalive instantly.
When I first heard of the Courage ARG, I knewit was a fitting franchise to base a game around on. Even in the series, we have no idea how the heck anything happens in the series.
*GAME* is my inspiration!! My mom said that if I got 32k subscribers!! She definitely buy me a professional mic!! *begging you GUYS alot* literally begging.
I think the reason why the Wheeler creature is named "the real wheeler" is because that's how the story teller views him. A tall thing creepy old man. Which also explains the "Ways of the Old Wind", which shows that Wheeler grew old.
Same, but I was only allowed to watch it on special occasions or if my parents weren't there to stop me. *RETURN THE SLAB* still haunts my nightmares more than a decade after I first watched it. My first ever little taste of the horror genre (if you don't count The Twilight Zone)
Same, born in 2003, and I remember CN airing this non-stop around 9:30 to around 12:00 on weekdays. I remember being excited to watch it whenever class is out early or it was cancelled for the day, and immediately regretting it afterwards because I'll get nightmares similar to that of Courage's.
i actually really like that one of the data missing screens says "father wasn't home" - if you pronounce data like "dada", then "data missing" sounds like it could mean "father gone"
Courage fulfilled a need within me as a kid. I crave horror and as a young kid, it was the right balance of unsettling, weird, creepy, meaningful, intense and just. Amazing. Incredible. Courage is just perfect horror.
Darker than you think. The cartoon was based off an actual couple that had a dog, there were in the middle of no where in New Mexico, they reported weird things including a skinwalker, and darker still the couple vanished and only the dog was found alive and well
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.
Interesting tidbit from this show's translation: Green Fish in the bathtub: "There's no such thing as perfect. You are beautiful as you are, Courage. With all your imperfections you can do anything." Also the Green Fish in the bathtub but in Spanish and with an Argentine accent: ‘La perfección no existe. Eres hermoso como eres Coraje, con todas tus imperfecciones lograrás lo que quieras, te lo juro por Dieguito Maradona’ Translation: ‘Perfection doesn't exist. You are beautiful just as you are, Courage. With all your imperfections you can do anything, I promise in the name of Dieguito Maradona.’ (Diego Maradona - Famous soccer player from Argentina) Pretty spot on, except for that last part.
Courage as a nightmarish kids show reminds me of Gravity Falls, a kids show that isn't oversaturated with kid friendly junk, it really pushes the boundaries of what a "kids show" is. I like that.
Fun fact: The cartoon is one of the two reasons why I suffer from severe arachnophobia and still, to this day, can't walk around in my house without some kind of light on :D
I always thought I made this show a lot more scarier in my head as a kid, BUT IT WAS ACTUAL NIGHTMARE FUEL?! What did my parents do to me, they knew I was easily frightened.
He did say there were holes in the theory. Also, English is hard and vague and way too based on ephasis. No real point to be made I just had to get that off my chest, lol. (For context, I'm a native English speaker. I'm just bitter, lol)
*GAME* is my inspiration!! My mom said that if I got 32k subscribers!! She definitely buy me a professional mic!! *begging you GUYS alot* literally begging...
I loved this show as a child so much it was crazy. I genuinely cried when I heard about Courage's backstories and his parents being shot up to the moon thinking about how sad it would be without my parents. I think the show made me a little more grateful after I finished that episode.
You are kinda right. Such as how you get the "Father wasn't home" when you go to the kitchen before the clocks strikes 12, Which could mean that father left while you where asleep and you only found out when you go to the kitchen before the clock strikes 12 and he isn't home. Which seems to be the first event in this story so far, as it's the first data missing screen you find. The next one "Mr. Wheeler was there to greet me" could mean that he just some neighbor who was there to greet the player when they went to the kitchen only to figure that there father isn't there, which is weird cause why would someone you don't know on a first name bases be there while your father left with out you knowing. That's about all I have kinda come up with on my own.
@@amaris_moon7671, and what about that last data missing screen "It was her, Eleanor"? We have it appear after collecting all the coins in the living room. Could it be that Mr. Wheeler knew about what was happening and told the player about Eleanor?
God Courage was such a big part of my childhood this warms my heart to such a degree ahhhh childhood nostalgia to the max. Went out of my way to buy the whole series on DVD as well to treasure it always so my kids can see it eventually
16:50 This feels like a secret in a horror game and he wud say something like: Oh. Didn’t expect you here. Well. I guess you like to find secrets huh? Heh.
Honestly I don't remember this show being scary to my friends and I as kids. It encouraged us to be brave and face our fears when despite the overwhelming odds
I think Mat doing an Elden Ring theory would be awesome, the grafted was something that would seem to be a larger part of the story, and who knows, maybe even get Vaati onto an episode??
The absolute only way he can do an elden ring theory is it Vaati guest starred. He would get ripped go shreds for anything remotely specific detail that goes overlooked or whatever. Cause like he said at the beginning of this video, lots of Fandoms are rabid... FNAF... Undertale/deltarune... Hollow knight... Souls games... Kirby... What I miss?
@@WouldYouKindlyNot Its not a game, but he commented that he's not able to do theories on Steven Universe or Gravity Falls, because those fandoms feel too strongly
I remember Courage the Cowardly Dog when I was a kid, and I loved watching it. It's interesting on how there was a movie with Courage and Scooby Doo. It was a movie that we didn't request, but it was needed. It's awesome that the original voiceactor for Courage even voiced him, but it sucks that the other voice actors for Muriel and Eustace died. 😥
*GAME* is my inspiration!! My mom said that if I got 32k subscribers!! She definitely buy me a professional mic!! *begging you GUYS alot* literally begging...
I’m going back and watching all of my favorite matpat videos in honor of his retirement, and this is one of the most I’ve cried ever because I miss him already. We all love you matpat, you shaped our childhoods and we will miss you ❤🥹

Matpat became zordon from power rangers
When I first heard of the Courage ARG, I knewit was a fitting franchise to base a game around on. Even in the series, we have no idea how the heck anything happens in the series.

damn my comment got botted to hell
@@Hexra_ yeah lmao
I think the reason why the Wheeler creature is named "the real wheeler" is because that's how the story teller views him. A tall thing creepy old man. Which also explains the "Ways of the Old Wind", which shows that Wheeler grew old.
I can promise that it reached into the start 2000’s, I was born in 2003 and still remember watching it and having nightmares, it was awesome
Same, but I was only allowed to watch it on special occasions or if my parents weren't there to stop me. *RETURN THE SLAB* still haunts my nightmares more than a decade after I first watched it. My first ever little taste of the horror genre (if you don't count The Twilight Zone)
Same, born in 2003, and I remember CN airing this non-stop around 9:30 to around 12:00 on weekdays. I remember being excited to watch it whenever class is out early or it was cancelled for the day, and immediately regretting it afterwards because I'll get nightmares similar to that of Courage's.
That's fun but this also reached the 2010s , here it still after a gap of few months airs in India gotta say it's a masterpiece
Same it aired at late night or early mornings...was a lot of fun to watch
im sure it was around late 2000’s/early 2010’s because i had a veeerrryyyyy faint memory of watching it when i was a kid (like, early 2010’s)
i actually really like that one of the data missing screens says "father wasn't home" - if you pronounce data like "dada", then "data missing" sounds like it could mean "father gone"
Now that makes me think that the dude who got the PS1 game is the developer of the game
@@Idrk13 ofcourse he made it.
nah bro, it cant be. i think maybe it was a dog? idk
RIP to Thea White, the voice actress behind Muriel, a loving wife and a pet owner. May her rest in peace.

Roughly two decades, and the "you're not perfect" scene is still horrifying.
The "hello internet welcome to game theory" will never get old
Well that's just a theory... A GAME theory
You are EVERYWHERE
that is such a risky thing to say
*ua-cam.com/video/m9Rd5-XIt_s/v-deo.html*
you will
Courage fulfilled a need within me as a kid. I crave horror and as a young kid, it was the right balance of unsettling, weird, creepy, meaningful, intense and just. Amazing. Incredible. Courage is just perfect horror.
And heartfelt moments that aren't cringe
Hes courageous
Same here
I remember watching this in my childhood and was actually scared of it but I actually enjoyed and loved the show.
After watching этого video, you вообще will never love MatPat

I love this show as a kid
But today I learnt something that I wish I didn't learn.
*And now probably afraid of the show*
"Father wasn't home"
Ahh, the classic 'Dad left to get the milk' phrase
Lol

Thank you for reminding me about why I was scared of everything back then when I was a kid and now I regained the fear of everything again.
@Erta Semis boi what
It’s honestly interesting that a show about having an dark premise now has a game that has a dark a premise as well.

Darker than you think. The cartoon was based off an actual couple that had a dog, there were in the middle of no where in New Mexico, they reported weird things including a skinwalker, and darker still the couple vanished and only the dog was found alive and well

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.
Guess what I'm afraid of the ghost of who asked
.
Interesting tidbit from this show's translation:
Green Fish in the bathtub:
"There's no such thing as perfect. You are beautiful as you are, Courage. With all your imperfections you can do anything."
Also the Green Fish in the bathtub but in Spanish and with an Argentine accent:
‘La perfección no existe. Eres hermoso como eres Coraje, con todas tus imperfecciones lograrás lo que quieras, te lo juro por Dieguito Maradona’
Translation:
‘Perfection doesn't exist. You are beautiful just as you are, Courage. With all your imperfections you can do anything, I promise in the name of Dieguito Maradona.’
(Diego Maradona - Famous soccer player from Argentina)
Pretty spot on, except for that last part.
Courage as a nightmarish kids show reminds me of Gravity Falls, a kids show that isn't oversaturated with kid friendly junk, it really pushes the boundaries of what a "kids show" is. I like that.
It really seems like the best cartoons push that boundary
Eh courage was always that to me. Couldnt really get into GF

MatPat: “another day, another fnaf episode”
Me: *visible confusion*
I was really scrolling through the comments wondering what’s happening.
when i first i clicked on it i clicked off because i thout it was a fnaf ep
I was confused too
@@heavenade122 same lol
i think eleanor might be the player's sister, and she asks the player "who died?" and the player says "it was her, eleanor", referring to muriel
Imagine a crossover between Blue’s Clues, Courage and Scooby Doo. Now that will definitely be craziest horror and scary lore
I mean we are half way there?...scooby do strwight outta nowhere exists
What clue did Blue find?
It's a disembodied hand!
Zoinks!

I always thought I made this show a lot more scarier in my head as a kid, BUT IT WAS ACTUAL NIGHTMARE FUEL?! What did my parents do to me, they knew I was easily frightened.
MatPat just takes the line " It was her , Eleanor ." with almost 2 to 3 meanings and gives it 1 particular meaning .
Ikr haha I was thinking exactly the same thing
Like, what if the player/courage IS Eleanor?
He did say there were holes in the theory. Also, English is hard and vague and way too based on ephasis. No real point to be made I just had to get that off my chest, lol. (For context, I'm a native English speaker. I'm just bitter, lol)

I almost died because of that!

My heart did not race out of my bones.
@@cat68614 You are brave then.
Courage was a big part of my childhood and I can’t wait to see more theories of this show
Wow,MatPat can make a theory out of everything. But the saddest thing is that the voice actor of Muriel died.
Oh- rip 😞
The fact this game really wasn’t that surprising considering the source material probably did something similarly creepy to it already 😭
Courage is a oddly fitting name for a dog that’s traumatized and scared of everything
*GAME* is my inspiration!! My mom said that if I got 32k subscribers!! She definitely buy me a professional mic!! *begging you GUYS alot* literally begging...
It's beautifully ironic, isn't it?
Well, he is pretty courageous
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.
Who is watching this after Mat Pat retired

I am.

I loved this show as a child so much it was crazy. I genuinely cried when I heard about Courage's backstories and his parents being shot up to the moon thinking about how sad it would be without my parents. I think the show made me a little more grateful after I finished that episode.
I always thought the show was amazing because it teaches you to face your fears
I suggest looking at the places where the data missing screens are, maybe that'll give us more of a clue of what happened
You are kinda right. Such as how you get the "Father wasn't home" when you go to the kitchen before the clocks strikes 12, Which could mean that father left while you where asleep and you only found out when you go to the kitchen before the clock strikes 12 and he isn't home. Which seems to be the first event in this story so far, as it's the first data missing screen you find. The next one "Mr. Wheeler was there to greet me" could mean that he just some neighbor who was there to greet the player when they went to the kitchen only to figure that there father isn't there, which is weird cause why would someone you don't know on a first name bases be there while your father left with out you knowing.
That's about all I have kinda come up with on my own.
@@amaris_moon7671, and what about that last data missing screen "It was her, Eleanor"? We have it appear after collecting all the coins in the living room. Could it be that Mr. Wheeler knew about what was happening and told the player about Eleanor?
@@dafilmqueen556 I think so it has been a while since I have seen this video so my memory is a little foggy but I think that is what it means
God Courage was such a big part of my childhood this warms my heart to such a degree ahhhh childhood nostalgia to the max. Went out of my way to buy the whole series on DVD as well to treasure it always so my kids can see it eventually
You got kids
Dude I'm in my mid twenties so yea
Aww hell yeah, nothing like giving children nightmares for the next 2 years or more. 😈

16:50 This feels like a secret in a horror game and he wud say something like: Oh. Didn’t expect you here. Well. I guess you like to find secrets huh? Heh.

I honestly did not expect the Lore from a long lost courage game to be THIS deep
This is probably not long lost.. just the creator of the arg making up a story
@@theblackknight101, but he hasn't continued the story. Where is our hero's journey now?
I didn’t even know that someone had made and ARG game based on courage till now
Honestly I don't remember this show being scary to my friends and I as kids. It encouraged us to be brave and face our fears when despite the overwhelming odds
I think i used to be scared but more then anything always felt sorry for courage, pitied him ngl
They had us in the first minute, I'm not gonna lie.
same
I think Mat doing an Elden Ring theory would be awesome, the grafted was something that would seem to be a larger part of the story, and who knows, maybe even get Vaati onto an episode??
The absolute only way he can do an elden ring theory is it Vaati guest starred. He would get ripped go shreds for anything remotely specific detail that goes overlooked or whatever. Cause like he said at the beginning of this video, lots of Fandoms are rabid...
FNAF...
Undertale/deltarune...
Hollow knight...
Souls games...
Kirby...
What I miss?
I think a more scientific video on elden ring might be better(with out vaati) like on maleina and her brother's predicament.
