Theoryify: Who's gonna be the next MatPat in terms of how recognizable they are?
Short answer from what I think is Amy, Santi, Tom, and Lee.
The longer answer is as follows:
Amy has been seen on Style Theory since it started and was moving on camera since the ever so popular episode 3: These Shoes can Kill. So if you've watched Style Theory before MatPat left, you should already feel familiar to Amy and know enough that you can recognize her fast.
Santi is probably going to be the next person people will be accustomed too. Not only because he's been on camera like Amy has before, for example, I Tried WEIRD Fair Food So You Don’t Have To, but also because Food Theory is a more camera oriented channel. Sure, there might be a few episodes you can do without needing to record live footage, most of them will be. So the more you see a face moving and talking instead of a two-dimensional image moving on a screen, the more you're gonna recognize its characteristics.
Tom might be the third person people will really get comfortable with. Not to any fault of Tom's, but with receiving the biggest channel of the five, it might take more work than the others. While Tom has been on camera before, that's from GTLive, a channel that has overlap between every channel, I'm sure of it, but not every Game Theory viewer is a GTLive viewer. While sure, seeing static images move around is expected from Game Theory, it feels less human in my opinion. Like there's a lack of connection there that could make it harder to get used to.
Finally, there's Lee. While all four of these are debatable, I feel Lee is gonna be the last one people think of because a lot of people forget about Film Theory to the point that MatPat has joked about it on GTLive. So while he might not need to do a lot for fans of Film Theory, the rest of the theorist community might need crossovers to help remember that A, the channel exists, and B, who Lee is.
If you've made it this far, I want to remind you, this is just my opinion, and all my evidence is based off of things I've been thinking about for a few days. So please, if you watch the theory channels, show positivity to the new hosts, and if none of that made sense, at least I can say it was just a theory,
A TEAM THEORY!
(look it's the best I could think of okay)
