Either way, here we are. A holiday theory about A Christmas Prince, its two follow up movies, and how much their royal romantic lead SUCKS! Happy holidays!

MatPat, watching terrible movies so you don’t have to.
Nice👌
Hehehehehehehhehehehehhehehhehehehehehhehehehehheehhehe
To*
I thought that was Nostalgia Critic job
I want to see MatPat's reaction after he watches the Cats movie🤣
This wasn't a theory. This was MatPat's first ever movie review.
1 year, 480 likes, and not a single reply
True, and let's be honest, we all needed to hear someone bash on this trilogy.
@@KeitieKalopsia is it that bad????
@@santiagogarcia1606 Yes
Yeah
I feel like they could've done really well if Richard acted as the face of the country, keeping morale up, while Simon worked to keep the country stable behind the scenes. They honestly could've done well with that system.
yeah, i agree
I agree that Richard is the morale booster and goes to talk with the people of the Kingdom and Simon is the one who keeps the country and Kingdom afloat and stable.
That would’ve been better plus if there’s two as long as they communicate good with every other the kingdom wouldn’t mind because they have a king who listens to them and a king who makes sure the place is running smoothly
Ya FR
i usually take all these “villains were the heroes the whole time” theories with a grain of salt, but the heroes are so scummy that yes this theory is absolutely true.
Poor Simon got screwed over majorly...
I haven’t watched the movie, but I agree
"I'm the prince of the Kingdom of (random word)"
"Is that even real?"
"It's in Europe"
*No further questions asked*
The film is clearly intended for an American audience considering the map at 7:14 lmfao
It isn't. The closest thing would be if you unified czechoslovakia, austrohungary and yugoslavia.
@@tanszism Not to mention the fact that there are no real Kingdoms left in Europe, and with that I mean Kingdoms with monarchies who are more than just symbolic.
Thats so true is sad...
@@maxh19991 actually the queen of england holds a lot of power as only see can make law parilament can only create legisation and debate on it to be passed onto the house of lords before it has to be given to the queen who signs it off she may at any time or any reason deny laws but she doesn't due to the resteration under charles the second leading to sharing power with parliment as last time a monarch shut down parliment was charles the first who had to deal witht the english civil war before losing and being executed leading to the instigation of the lord protectorate under oliver cromwell before charles came to power due to the people hating cromwells rule.
there are reasons why monarchies aren't always viable.
besides the vatican is an absolute monarchy under the pope who when brought to power becomes the king and can do whatever he wants due to there being no stable population
That wasn't just a theory that was the cold hard truth Simon should be been king and he shouldn't have been treated like a villain
Yeah I Deserve Better
@@Artificial_Idiot yes, yes you do. Heck a Assassin or a BlackSmith would be a better King. No offense to Assassins or BlackSmiths.
@@Artificial_Idiot that is amazing
@Chan B. Yeah
Simon Owpaluk 🤣 you should 🤣
Simon's an example about J.K. Rowling's "All Slytherins who're ambitious are terrible people" affect on the world and the media. In this essay I will-
Where is the essay OP? I want to read the essay. Where is the essay /j
And We are all the Hufflepuffs yelling that “not all slytherin are bad” and yea
@@babybee654 we will metaphorically die on this hill!
This is why I love written cunning and very much evil steriotipical villains as the protagonists
Example: An aspiring queen who knows she is beautiful and the genes as well as the mind to capture people, making her very egocéntrica but that does not stop her from the main goal of providing a golden age to her dinasty after the dark age of her family.
A mad scientist who no one believes and ignored and called as a psycho simply because he thinks of finding a way to save an already doomed planet.
A bloodthristy warrior who will battle an entire army for the sake of protecting his family, even if he has to be really brutal so the rest of his enemies back off.
An apathetic person carrying out the weight that more emotional vulnerable people wouldn't take simply because he knows he can do it.
Ect..
i am slytherin
....honestly this felt less like a theory and more like a rant and a summary rolled into one semi-passive aggressive package. I love it, so much. The entire tone of the video was just like "the actual AUDACITY these movies had, lemme tell you" and it was great.
My real problem is that the “official” documents are so fake I thought they were my middle school honors certificate that is just printed on cardstock
Aldovia is not know for it's high quality paper apperently.
Not known for high quality rulers too
FAKE!
Nice brag XD
I found this video in my sleep. I fell asleep in the morning and I apparently rolled over a few times
“Hey honey, I just wrote a royal decree that guarantees that our adopted son will be next in line with the throne without the need of an Aldovian birther scandal. LET’S HIDE IT.”
Underrated
Indeed
It's especially egregious because the whole reason they covered up the fact that he was adopted in the first place was because they wanted him to be a legitimate heir. But... apparently they could have changed the law to include adopted children as heirs the whole time, so yeah, why cover up the adoption???
"Oh, and by the way, our adopted son can take the throne with this decree, but not our literal *legitimate and biological* daughter!"
@@elsie8757 Because royals are backwards and shouldn't be involved in politics and are really only there to smile and have crown sit on their head
It's like Mysterio said; " You could be the smartest person in the room, the most qualified, no one cares, unless you're wearing a cape or shooting lazers" or in this case unless you're one of the protagonists of a hallmark romance movie.
This is the most underrated comment of the century
Agreed
They basically gave Simon the Slytherin treatment. "Just because he's ambitious must mean he's bad"
2 words.
scorpius malfoy.
Thats not a theory thats just straight facts
Except almost nowhere in the world monarchy does keep real power. In most cases king has purely representative, role with government and parlament being largely independent bodies (so basically a democracy).
TheRezro but this is a movie where the king does in fact have power I believe
@@janiemoge4153 Yes and drove of unicorns. It is always hilarious when Americans portray monarchy in the movies.
@@TheRezro but this is a movie so what's your point
@@TheRezro Saudi Arabia
Our female lead (Rose McIver) used be a Power Ranger and a zombie. I'm very disappointed with this downgrade
yeah rose mciver is A DANG BOSS. its... strange??? that shes part of this franchise
@@suemccashland money talks
@James Callahan Wait, you have a Fourze logo, AND you're talking about a former Power Ranger?
I see you are a man of culture as well.
@@ProfDragonite Same to you Mr. Dragonite
Thank you kindly. (tips hat)
Next trilogy of the franchise:
"The Fall of the King", "The Royal Divorce" and "The New King".
Why does it have to happen?
(Divorce)
"The Revolution"
@@1orangutan656 then the final one “Royal Execution”
“No one is even going to watch this episode!”
Yes, we are matpat. I feel like 50% of your viewers just enjoy watching you suffer.
Only 50%? You have to much faith in humanity, Thanos.
The movie basically went, "Simon wants to be king. He must be bad."
Media really gives ambition the short end of the stick. A lot. It's not even a bad trait, as long as you handle it correctly.
@@VenomQuill Yeah, especially when your ambition will end up benefiting people, like Simon becoming king.
By this logic simba is also a villian! XD
@@SunnyLVJY hMmmmmmmMMMmMm
Why did Simon want to be king though? Was it because he truly wanted to help the country and had a sense of altruism or was it because he wanted what Richard had? It’s not about the ambition itself, it’s about the motive and how he was willing to step on his own cousin to get ahead instead of, I dunno, discussing it with his cousin first behind closed doors. He totally humiliated Richard and loved every second of it.
Maybe that’s the reason why that the Royal decree was found in a freaking acorn because the whole thing is nuts
Sounds fair
I laughed at this
Makes cense
The plot is so fucking lazy if i put a snail in it place it would move faster
Good point
It sound like Simon was supposed to be the love intrest, Emily was supposed to inherit the throne, while Amber is supposed to go undercover and expose Richard as the secret villan. Oh I'm sorry, did I write a better move 😅
For sure, you should be a screenwriter, too. Let's combine our forces to write better stuff!
Plot twist: the curse is real, and it still affected Amber's child. And in the fourth movie, the child grows up, murders both Richard and Amber, and Simon must save Aldovia from the maniac child.
YES!!!!!
@@ediesharman-xk5wn I'd consider writing something for it, but I've already got something else I'm working on, so how about I give you something like a little intro?
The real question is… what happened to the real tutor?
Right?? That's what I always wondered!
What if the actual tutor showed up in the first and everyone was like:
👁👄👁
oooh
*murder*
pff- I forgot-
We dont talk bout that anymore
Homegirl really said "my beloved son" at an orphanage.... read the room hun
*horrible accent* "Oh yes even though you all have dead parents let me rub in the fact that I am STILL alive for my son. Now let my go on my royal yacht and drink my tea".
@@ninaserafina823 yup pretty much
@@ninaserafina823 I laughed way to hard at this
Nicodemus Charles i thought the whole point of the adoption is that it's a secret, and that's why it becomes a big deal that threatens his kingness? the fact that nobody knows?
This is so true
It's been a year later and I'm still waiting for the 4th installment of this series:
Christmas Prince 4: The Civil War.
Where the royal is in peril, trying to solve the mystery of the missing socks in the middle of their holiday trip in Bahamas in order to escape the war with neighboring countries.
Where once again, Simon is being a scumbag by trying to stop the war.
Me and my mum had a lovely time watching the 1st movie, not for the plot but for the continuity errors in 1 particular scene here scarf keeps magically moving and her sleeve keeps going up and down, once we noticed this we couldn't stop laughing. One of my fav memories
Just imagine
Christmas Prince: The Royal Divorce
Golden.
The movie we needed, but the one the writers think we don’t deserve because we need the handsome guy to be the morally right in all of this.
Christmas Prince: The Royal Coup D'etat
Um ok...
may i add, Christmas Prince: The Royal Affair
Basically, the slytherin (Simon) is labeled as bad no matter what he does.
Nathália Volkmar so true
Yes because cunning and ambition are terrible traits to have and clearly mean you’re up to no good -_-
F
That's something a Slytherin would say
((I'm a Slytherin too))
casper draws I’m a ravenclaw but all this prejudice against Slytherin pisses me off
To me the worst thing the protagonists did was probably the economic disaster and the many lives that got upended all thanks to the king's focus on his personal interests over the kingdoms. Even if didn't trust his cousin, he could have hired someone else who knew economics (after running a background check on said person) and listened to their advice. Maybe even hire multiple people and compare their advice
I was so mad for simon throughout all these movies lol
Here's the difference between Richard and Simon, Richard never wanted the responsibilities of the King, only wanted to get the girl and have fun. Simon on the hand actually wanted the job and cared about the well being of the kingdom, people. But his actions looked sneaky so no one really believed him or even wanted to give him a chance. I kinda wish they didn't make Simon the villain cause he doesn't even look like a villain, it's not like he was manipulating people or trying to get them harmed. He was very blunt about his goals and didn't lie unlike the main characters.
Let's just hope the next movie will include Simon leading a worker revolution to Change the monarchy to a communist regime leaded by Simon.
@Edward Sturgeon okay then fascist dictatorship.
@@maozedong4010 Populism
@Edward Sturgeon don't worry mate, I understand.
Good analysis; I do have a small question - what does a villian look like? Just wondering.
MatPat: Simon's not as attractive as Richard.

I would absolutely watch a holiday special film theory of MatPat just yelling at bad holiday romcoms. I need it!
Same
I love how you can actually see the heroine's transformation into a snooty rich lady on the covers
Exactly she didn't help with the financial situation in the kingdom either she loves to spend money for herself

@@agereartist3763 not to mention about her stealing while sneaking around
Fun fact: The word "dov" is pronounced the same way as the german word "doof" which means "stupid", which absolutely wrecked us into laughing fits every time they mentioned Aldovia (all "doof" ia = everyone-is-stupid-land :D)
Thank you. I needed something like this.

My roommate's friend has a pet theory that christmas prince takes place in an alternate universe with a different history where England colonized Eastern Europe and that's why there seems to be so many British people and culture in what seems to be Eastern Europe. Just in case you wanted an excuse to do another holiday ep on these movies (god i hope, i love this ep)
Seems correct .....I was wondering why the xters have Bri'ish accents
@@she3479 Its because hollywood portrays anything in europe who are not "bad" to have british accents. They do the same thing in many films about rome.
I think we can all agree it would be much more fun if the romans were portrayed with italian accents.
Matpat thank you for giving us these theories so now I can be a smartass whenever watching these movies with my family
Would’ve been cooler if the second movie actually came with the twist that she infiltrated the palace for the sole reason of assassinating Richard once they were married and taking the throne for herself
More interesting than watching their marriage anyways
give me a username that would have been part of the facade.
That’s typical of you, rArA
Literally the plot of frozen
This got dark quick....*Love* it
simon is similar to sharpay. they're both painted as the villain, yet their more correct and have better goals and such then the so called "good guys"
Hard disagree on that. Sharpay actually did messed up stuff.
@@allthatjas157 to try and impress Troy sharpey tried to help him get a free college degree, and had a reason to doubt Troy and Gabrielle’s ability in musical theatre, something which needs dedication and not knowing what you find more important can be extremely damaging to a performance, she just didn’t want her play which she loved doing to be ruined by 2 no-shows at the last minute
@@adhdweirdo4314 Dedication to the musical and then just straight up not wanting anyone else to have the spotlight are two different things. She literally had the callback dates changed so they couldn't make it. She wasnt really concerned with anyone other than herself. She also tries to gain troys affection with special treatment and connections despite him being with Gabriella. Like its really okay to purposely meddle in someone's relationship? Not to mention the way she walks over her own brother and tried to get all the other people to quit because all she cared about was troy.
Also why tf does this matter this was 7 months ago???
@@adhdweirdo4314 I didn't know commenting was time limited lmao
I want to see a movie like this where the prince who doesn’t want the throne, just doesn’t. Simon gets the throne, the country thrives, and the prince and the lead girl get to live the comfortable life, and play the loving royal couple. They are the face of the country, but not as rulers, as mascots. Simon runs the show and they do all the charismatic stuff that Simon isn’t good at.
As a guy who was forced to watch all three of these movies on repeat for the weeks we had Netflix I understand your pain MatPat
Am I the only one who thinks it would be a lot of fun to see a story like this from the "villain's" point of view?
Just, a competant, pragmatic person trying to solve serious problems while a silly couple carries on uselessly in the background, only occasionally interjecting to remind the main character that they consider him/her the villain for stepping on their romantic mood or not having the holiday spirit.
He offhandedly roasts them; they recoil, reaffirmed of his villainy and of their importance to the plot; he goes on with his business, totally oblivious, and totally forgets about them.
Eyes of the Cervino so, Last Action Hero style? In other words, where the movie is presented as self-aware of the usual formula but is told from a counter-formulaic perspective?
I personally would actually love to see this movie rewritten and exposed like this for the dumbed-down trite it is.
YES!!!!
I want to know if there's like a manga or novel that has this plot
Yeah 100%, kind of like their motive
Also: Simon is much hotter than Richard even in looks. Plus, Richard acts like a child. Not a king, husband or remotely a father. He's not fit for anything.
I bet Simon has evil plans, like making the war on Christmas a real thing.
Richard has that scary american psycho serial killer look whereas Simon looks like a genuinely nice hardworking dude. Defs should be the King
@give me a username If you read their sentence carefully, you'd realise that they were two separate statements. One referring to how in their eyes Simon is hotter and the other talking about how Richard ACTS like a child, etc. Don't spit venom if you don't know what you're talking about.
Vixx Celacea HAHAHHA oof
Exactly, Simon is mature and hot
Matpat: no one is even gonna watch this video
Me two years later: i got you buddy
It's not Richard's fault that the country had economic problems. He did the math, but Leopold embezzled the money instead of investing it into Aldovian countries like it was supposed to. He's only guilty of trusting Leopold during his first year of kingship where Leopold, remember, played king in the interim after Richard senior's death and was supposed to mentor Richard junior.
He still could've punished Leopold and returned the money to his kingdom if he wasn't as incompetent as he's portrayed here. Unless I'm missing something....
I didn’t really mind the movie at all except the fact that Amber is the most annoying person I’ve ever heard of
Yeah, which sucks because the actress who plays her is quite talented. This was definitely not her best role.
Try Chris from sonic x
@@MissAmesha It's Liv from iZombie!!

Hearing the film theory intro music in August of 2022 brings back so much nostalgia and it's a bop
I remember when this episode premiere and Matpat make the joke of: “none is gonna what this episode” I genially told myself: I will Matpat, because you made it, because you are on it. Coming from the future, I now know that I love this channel not only because of Matpat but because of the whole Theorist team. I love the editing, specially the Easter eggs they hide, I love the format, how every one of the members have their own touch when they are in an episode, everything. All of this just to say thank you all of you for making great videos and for keeping doing them.
Matpat: Simon is not as good looking as Richard
Me: He’s even hotter
he looks rlly pretty,,
Well you can see in the movies at least he doesn’t have a decreasing hairline because you can clearly tell Richard hairline keep going back while Simmons is just very prominently there

Jenny Nicholson did a video a year ago about these movies saying the country is locked in a perpetual Christmas apocalypse. She even dives into the subtleties of costume design. I highly recommend it and her channel.
Also noteworthy is that all of Film Theory's screenshots of Amber had her looking unhappy. Makes you wonder how happy the characters really are in these "holiday romance" movies.
I love her video!!
I was thinking of her video the whole time I was watching the third movie lmao
I was thinking of her video tooo!!!

This theory mostly informed me what schmultz movie that one Hamilton fic ripped it’s plot from. I could feel it while reading but I didn’t recognize it.
I don’t think these movies even know how a traditional monarchy works..
I feel like they know just slightly more than the average person commenting on this video :|

To be fair, Simon does get his status as a Duke restored by the end of the trilogy and is more or less redeemed in the eyes of the Royal Family.
Even still I find it ridiculous that no one would listen to or trust him in the second or even the third movie as he shows repeatedly he legitimately cares about the wellbeing of the kingdom but whatever.
He is the lawful king
Oh my god Simon is basically the equivalent of Stannis Baratheon
@@deen7530 yes. Simon is the lawful king, as well as the most qualified person to be king, yet is deprived of the throne by someone isn't really the son of the previous king. It's only a matter of time until we learn Simon had a little brother who tried to steal the throne from him too.
Matpat: nobody is even going to watch this video
The video: gets 3 million views
To be honest, Aldovia would be much better off joining with a larger neighbor (I am surprised it didnt get absorbed into France or Germany a century or two ago) with better economic access to a larger market and having actual responsible government.
This just sounds like matpat wanting to rant about this movie. XD
I always knew Simon was superior, he's hot, single, a good person, great fit for Christmas, also way better than any other character
I always loved him ngl
Amber Generic of Who Cares Land: moves her little sister-in-law's play to the palace instead of fixing the problem that got it cancelled (and is devastating the citizens of her kingdom)

Poor Simon
#teamSimon
It’s Okay Im Fine
Wouldn’t Emily be the first in line for the throne because she’s the first actual direct descendent from the king because Simon is her cousin witch means that he would only be the king if she dies or gives up the throne to Simon
Simon is like the Sharpay Evans of this franchise-

I've never watched this movie but Simon sounds like the only one who cares to make these movies good.
I Do Care to make these movies good
@@Artificial_Idiot please restore glory to our kingdom.
@@RedVelvetRabbit I will (sorry To Not Talking Much I’m Still Learning English)
@@Artificial_Idiot you're doing really well :)
“I’m gonna assume you’re all smart people who’ve never seen these movies” I can’t help it that hallmark is my guilty pleasure
Sarah Haseley Hallmark is OK because it's ironically cheesy. This just sounds like bad writing
You are not chained to the tv, you certainly have the choice what kind of dreck you choose to allow into your mind.
Only these movies were on Netflix, not Hallmark.
I don't pay much attention to the movies but do have them on in the background cuz doesn't feel like Christmas with out cheesy Hallmark movies.
Don't tell anyone, but Hallmark absolutely is my guilty pleasure
It has been nearly three years now and I watch this video once a week
Orphans : please help us…
Technoblade: you said Orphans.?
When you think about it Amber broke into the Royal Kingdom and also lied and covered up some things so. Amber is a thief!
She actually committed High treason she lied to the government/royals then proceeded to go with it behind the royals back if this was 15th century she would’ve been executed for high treason
More like shes just an out right criminal and who then got roped into a birth scandal involving her crush and also helped nearly put the entire kingdom into chaos and war. The stupidity of people, displayed finely in these movies.
@@rivo3 no, it’s espionage. Treason is betraying your country
NinjaKED12 oh well my mistake I couldn’t think of another world but you could understand what I was saying
Matpat: this wont even been seen
1.5 million people: allow use to introduce ourselves
Now I want a 4th movie where Simon takes the throne, and the kingdom is saved from Richard.
Edit: I'm loving the replies here guys. The plots y'all are coming up with are *_chef's kiss_*
*need
@@bloodieghostie not having a movie about fictional kingdom where everything is going to (censorship) by the`` GoOd-GuY`` is saved by Simon doesn't happen. if that isn't what gets me into cardiac arrest, I don't know what will.
christimas prince 4 the royal revolution
Viva la France!
Or where everyone dies!...
Minus Simon, obviously.
Wait... What if Simon just flew away because he knew the kingdom will fall with Richard in power, so he could be safe from the impending civil war?
4:01 reminds of mlp gen 4 first episode-
Hiding crucial information in a Christmas ornament?!? What is this, FNAF?!
