You may be asking why I am doing a theory about a Netflix Christmas special and, honestly, I don't know what came over me. Maybe it's the holiday spirit, or maybe it's too many Christmas cookies. 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!

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

I saw glimpses of this movie while I was working on my computer and my mom was watching this on tv nearby, I saw the orphan snowball fight scene and had to react with force because of how dumb the prince was choosing snowball fights over a very important job that will affect many people that isn't even demanding or labor-intensive in any way. I could clearly see the writers wanting to portray the prince as this lovable carefree and goofy prince who just loves to be with his people....but failed really hard.
