Then they came out with the surprisingly enjoyable live action movie. Well, consider me VERY interested. So today we are diving into the dark lore surrounding our favorite explorer. Vámonos!

    I always felt Swiper was just a kleptomaniac and Dora and friends were just helping him calm his addiction. "His Aw man" is just him getting upset that he nearly gave in. Swiper even goes to the future and sees his older self, now no longer able to be stopped, and looks horrified.

    Hey, you know, I've got a theory. Before Dora was the protagonist in her game, Boots used to be the protagonist. The game seemed to be a normal game before, until Swiper was corrupted by a spirit. Before Dora got sucked into the game, she was a normal human, always playing the game Boots the Explorer (I call it that because I believe Boots used to be the protagonist.) But then the spirit that corrupted Swiper sucked Dora into the game, turned her into a protagonist, and renamed the game to Dora the Explorer. Boots has now became a companion to Dora. And that, I think, was the dark origins of Dora the Explorer. But hey, that's just a theory, my Film Theory!

    If Dora was NOT programmed to be in the game, but she's there and somehow the main character....
    Who was the ORIGINAL main character, and what did she do to them to take their role?
    This has been nagging me all day long, so I hope someone will answer my question.

    I think I have an idea. What if it's not just Dora who is stuck inside the game? What if Swiper, Boots, and the others are also stuck inside the video game, or more specifically, were used as souls to create the show in the first place? We know for a fact that Swiper has proven to be an occasional ally, and Dora is comfortable with having him as a friend as well despite his tendency to swipe her stuff. My guess is that just like Rebecca would later be used as a sacrifice for the Amanda The Adventurer in-universe tv show, Dora and her friends were also made into the game. I believe the reason Swiper is as he is to be coming from being purposefully programmed into being an antagonist with the express purpose of silencing him, which combined with Dora's religious upbringing would only make him more unreliable in the long-run. Dora breaking the fourth wall and referencing the audience was programed into the game, but Swiper breaking free to be somewhat of an ally wasn't. I figure the reason we rarely see him doing good is because the devs in charge figured out a way to 'rewrite' the characters in a way that made sure they always stayed in compliance. Now, who are these mysterious devs? I don't know, but I doubt it's Swiper or Boots at all..

What if Swiper is actually trying to stop her, and due to his Willpower he's able to resist her to some degree? Maybe Dora is pulling the strings, and that's why she wasn't harmed. She makes the rules, so she doesn't die.

The only one to show defiance is Swiper, and even then he can't do much about it against an all powerful demon. That's probably why no one can interact with the world without Dora's say so. I get the feeling viewer participation is important somehow for Dora, and that's why we need to tell her where things are.

    Actually in the Christmas movie; Dora and the Christmas Carol Adventure, they venture into the future (and past but that’s not important right now)when dora swiper, and everyone else are older. When Swiper tells older Swiper Swiper no swiping thrice, he says “That doesn’t work anymore!” as he takes the travel cape off Swipers back and runs away to his castle. Older Dora says that since Swiper got on the naughty list, he would never listen and would always swipe no matter what.

    Something I wanna point out is that the show slowly looses its video gamey elements as it goes on.
    The first intro, walking into the room with the computer, is only in the first two seasons.
    Similarly, the character find outro, and any similar minigame outro like for the explorer stars, lasts until season 4, replaced by a generic credits sequence season 5 onwards.
    Also, dora used to have these minigame-like events quite often, along the lines of navigating a character from one point to another, or dodging falling acorns (the latter of which actually became a flash game at some point). They’re like any other point in the show, but styled just differently enough to raise an eyebrow. As far as I remember, these were slowly phased out as the show went on, and completely gone by season 5.
    And finally, there was pretty much always this blue cursor hanging around, clicking on objects, locations, etcetera. Essentially the closest thing to the audience surrogate the show consistently had. However, by around season 5, it slowly stopped showing up. Even simple small things, like clicking on dora at the end of the episode, or those pop up location squares. The last remnant of it left by the show’s end was clicking on dora after the finale song to lead into the ending.
    Nowadays, dora being themed about a classic video game is as good as forgotten, and most of the pop culture around her never seems to bring it up as far as I know. Though to be fair, there’s a lot of things in this show that the internet ignores.
    Either way, the show becoming less like a video game as it goes on…
    When put into context with this theory, seems rather suspicious, doesn’t it?

    • @dafilmqueen556
      @dafilmqueen556 8 месяцев назад +1

      It could be that the creators of the Dora game (the tormentors) are trying to gaslight her into staying complacent by removing everything and destroying the fantasy. But I still don't think it's Swiper specifically. Remember, Swiper does have moments where he is actually friendly towards Dora and Boots. Unless he's gaslighting her once again (as Mat seems to imply) into trusting her or trying to cozy her up (dude's a creep for following the two wherever they go), it leads me to believe that he is just as much a victim as Dora and Boots. I think all the characters in the game are victims, kinda like in our Dora's dark spiritual successor Amanda The Adventurer, of cruel developers using real people to create their game, with those people slowly forgetting who they once were and eroding into their video game identities as the series goes on, but Dora and Boots are the only ones still able to see through the trap.

      @@oncefighting I honestly haven't developed it enough to form a full theory, it's mainly just "this kid looks nothing like the rest of his family, so I'mma say he's adopted so I can imagine the fake drama in this extremely mind rotting show" lol
      Like if I'm remembering correctly, he has blonde hair and blue eyes but those traits aren't found anywhere else in his family. One of his parents has red hair and the other has brown hair, and then one has green eyes and the other brown. The siblings have a mix of those traits and even the grandparents don't have blue eyes (their hair is gray tho so idk about either of them being blonde)
      And that's really all there is to the theory, just anything to make it more palatable to my fragile mind lmao
      EDIT: alright turns out I was in fact remembering the blue eyes wrong his eyes are brown, but that doesn't change the fact that he's blonde and no one else in the family is blonde (that we know of)
      Idk how genes work admittedly, so idk if him being the only blonde is possible or not genetically
      It's just more fun to say he's adopted 💀

      I think they are characters somehow added by the demon into the game because if we want to tie the show and movie together, in the show her family actually take part in the gameplay like everyone else yet in the movie they suddenly don't, maybe the demon eventually dragged her actual family in and that's why they are kind of freaked through out the movie, maybe the demon entirely broke Dora and got bored so he dragged in her family to mess with them. The movie just takes place after the show when Dora has finally completely snapped and given in to living in the video game

    i can prove this wrong, in some main episodes or just time to time we see doras parents. If dora isn't mean't to even exist in the game how is the idea of her parents being truly in the game true? Unless the parents are aswell not mean't to exist but if this is so then her parents would also have to be tormented by swiper which doesn't seem likely to be the case as the parents show no sign of breaking the 4th wall as often. Also it seems like Swiper also torments boots (Lil monkey boi). Also other charecters in the show do break the 4th wall time to time.

    One thing I’d like to mention. I believe there was a Christmas special set in the future and Dora tried to use her typical “Swiper no swiping” phrase to ward him off to which he responded by saying “That doesn’t work anymore.” Just thought that was something worth mentioning

    Maybe this game whenever somebody buys it some copies are haunted and that traps them and then whoever gets trapped it just takes their name and then that becomes the title so when you first get the game it's just called the Explorer

    Another thing about the “swiped no swiping” chant is it only works if done successfully three times. Idk how accurate to irl exorcism that is but it definitely checks out with Hollywood depictions.

    I have very few memories of this show but one thing that I remember was in one Christmas special Swiper to put on the naughty list, so since he had no more motivation to be good when the heroes tried using the “Swiper no swiping” strategy he just turned to them and said “that doesn’t work anymore.”
    As five year old me, I was thinking “thing just got serious.”

    Something else to solidify MatPat's theory:
    The number 3 is associated with the devil and spirits; the devil knocks 3 times on a door and the 3rd hour past midnight being the demonic witching hour. Dora says her chant "Swiper no swiping" exactly 3 times for him to stop and run away.
