Game Theory: Solving the Mystery of Human Flight (Immortals Fenyx Rising)
Special thanks to Ubisoft for sponsoring this episode!

Theorists, have you ever wanted to fly? Not Superman fly, but soar on a pair of wings like, well, a Phoenix? In the amazing new game Immortals Fenyx Rising, your character gets to do just that. She is a winged warrior out to defeat mythological monsters on her quest to rescue the Gods. Fenyx's wings are VERY similar to those Daedalus made for Icarus in the famous Greek myth. We all know how that turned out. What I want to figure out today is if a human can really fly with a pair of wings and HOW that would need to work to not end up crashing to the earth like Icarus. Let's FLY!

This feels like old school game theory and I love it Bummed insect wings weren't mentioned though. Adding a second pair of wings and swapping out feathers for membranes changes up the whole equation, and seeing as dragonflies have had pretty much the same wing design for around 300 million years, it could make for an interesting discussion.
I mean, I worked when they were the size of a table! It could be an alternative...
@Theodore Theo testing it out right now. Seems to be working.
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but yesterday I hacked my girl friends Instagram account using InstaPortal. Find it on google ;)
good seeying you around
Hello there
How dare you assume fenyx's GENDER THERE IS GENDER SELECTION!!! lmao 🤣 jk great vid as always!
Im number 6.666 comment
Hey
It's actually "barf-e" as in get, bed or hen; sort of like saying "barr-fair" with a British accent. Two e's don't make the sound of "lay", ther's no "i" in Barfée. So ballet isn't "bal-lay", etc. If doubt just read the wiktionary ipa symbols. I'm not a native French (neither English) speaker but with most French borrowed words in English I usually try to pronounce things the closest to French as possible but with English phonemes (sounds).
damn, I want to play this but it's never coming to Steam apparently :c it's always the cool games that are console-locked :/
Make book theories
Icarus fell due to lack of oxygen
Is ti just me . Or when he showed Icarus name I could see karus
The thing is about that massive bird is that it probably didn’t flap its wings like a typical small bird with lots of repeating flaps. It most likely flew like a hawk or eagle, mostly glides in wind currents and flaps its wings occasionally to keep its self up. You also didn’t talk about bat wings. Basically like a giant webbed hand with very thin fingers. Using webbed wings instead of feathered wings might make more lift counteracting the weight.
He dares say a Minotaur is a titan?!?!?
If u don't require flight wings like seen on angels and demons of Christian "lore?" Are physically possible. There is room and depending on size the human body can support the weight. you could have wings coming out at your shoulder blades.
Matpat I love you but the way you’re pronouncing these words especially Daedalus is making me want to not like this video. I will do so anyways cause this video was great and you’re amazing 🤧
Dear game theorists, Can you do a video on the war in smite(it has been bugging me ever since I read the “lore” on the Morrigan a character in the game)
Never expected to come to game theory for completing my english homework My teacher asked us to write about the myth of Icarus in short so instead of going to google Im here
So basically... *Hummimgbirb.*
Shocked we made it through this whole video without going into how according to all known laws of aviation, a bee should not be able to fly
Bruh matpat the ancient greeks didn't have the internet or modern science stuff. They thought "hmmm well the sun makes stuff hot... Then going to close to it would get reeeaaallly hot." Give em a break... This ep was heccin cool
Matpat does know that in game you can only double jump once and glide right?
okay i think in 5 years of this being real, in the way that is now being explained, who wants to bet?
i think those wings and air vents are from genshin impact
ehen you know the whole story Should i feel old or smart?
I now want to make wings... Epic 👌
and he
say it right
THat not how you say dadals it
Erm.....wouldnt they like...not know about **air pressure** back then?
People were dumb in the past
year 8? dang that mans an og of life
So attacked right now.
_sniff_ I always knew my birb had a big heart
The wings feature reminds me of Genshin impact
Yo matpat can u be my history or math teacher 😂
I love in matt Pats intro Spring trap is sitting on the table
God: you are a human. You live on the ground you can not fly. Humans: f*ck it we will build wings! God: WAIT NO THATS NOT HOW YOU PLAY I know this isn't related to the video but meh. I know this isn't related so do not start screaming in the comments: ThIS ISn't RelATeD
But ots a kilogram of steel
#dadbodmatpat
It was a very nice very nice very very very nice beginning!
Sad that nobody else got the 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Cameo
Now I wanna see him do Valstrax from Monster hunter which is basically a dragon that is a living jet and see if it's possible for something like this to even exist. Short answer is NO, but still wanna see Matpat tackle the biology of valstrax.
Nice 25th annual Putnam county spelling bee reference 😂
Hehe... grounded...
Today I learned pheonix is spelled phoenix
its splled gg
You didn't count the energy needed to pump the small wings.
Gonna be honest, the wings in the thumbnail makes the person look like Zerg Kerrigan from StarCraft
Matpat Fenyx is actually a girl
I feel like back in the old days MatPat would have calculated how fast you would need to move the wings back and forth to fly, but I guess those days are behind us.
Using her wings like a hummingbird, while possible, wouldn’t be the best solution. Modern gliders are able to increase altitude not by moving the wings, but using the movement of air. Glider pilots learn to use thermals (rising pockets of hot air) and air moving over mountains to increase their altitude. Having the wings be static would not only decrease weight, it would dramatically decrease the energy required to fly.
Mass effect indoctrination theory part still has not been released yet
"by doing this 50 to 200 times every second" the hummingbird inspired Fenyx to get an arthritic dislocated shoulder?
So... What about Angel from the X-Men? Would he have a giant heart like birds? And what about when he was Archangel with metal wings? Did Apocalypse shrink his heart, mechanize it, or just give him thrusters? And what about other winged characters like Spider-Man's Vulture character? Or, heck, what about Kid Icarus?... You know the games you could have tied into this video? So many missed opportunities for research and study.
Funny you joked about Ovid being bad with facts and not doing research when you mispronounce many of the names... Is that an Easter egg that includes the spelling bee joke at the start of the video? Lol
Who els realised we just watched a video long sponser
Am i the only who think that the image in 6:26 is kinda Turkish?
Matpat: (Argues the science of higher altitudes melting Icarus's wings) Me: "You DO realize this story is in the same setting as the guy who kidnapped Death, right?"
I love how the character I made in game is very Mexican like
MatPat upgrading daedalus (Die-dalus) to deadalus (dead-alus)
Alright anyone down to start working on human flight?
*_Mr. Sinister has entered the chat_*
I guess its mother is gishan impact (if I spelt it rong please let me know)
I seen some of the comments what I like to add is these would the wings be on you back or like one mythical creature from that time period harpies which had wings for arms I’m curious how they would effect these and what if there were ones with bat like wings would they glide which is more likely or could they flap and fly while or do they need to be like humming bird too?
Overly sarcastic productions are a great channel for interesting and fun story telling of mythologies and history
isnt that old sso year 8 hmmmm... isn'r science not that advanced ? but meh I dont know anything about history and science
Now spell impostor
Still waiting on that religious eraser theory.
You just helped me with my book n u aint even know it
you sound like odd1sout
This game is a rip off to zelda breath of the wild
MatPat, the only way I can think of to get this theory to you is through comments, you should do a theory video about about how lance sank the S.S. Anne!!!
A theory I really want him to do is about a game called Genshin Impact 🥲
Me taking out every villain in the game with just Apollo’s Arrows: 👌
Ha yes! Ensiant grice: >:(
Yo I think me and game theory have the same birth year 2010
Bird: can humans fly? The B52 flying over Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh SUCK MY #### Other Bird: I dont think so- **Ground starts blowing up**
The intro never gets old
50 to 200 that's only 100 less punches machamp can do in a single second
This wasn’t the first Game Theory spelling bee! What happened to the one with Falcon Paaawnch.
so is that why big bird glide through the air and not like a hummingbird
Idea for the gametherory 10 year special explaining and playing all fnaf games
Hummingbirds are great
OH MY LORD WILLIAM BARFEE? THATS AN OBSCURE REFERENCE I ACTUALLY GET!
Hey Matpat! Can you make a theory about "Little Nightmares" and "Little Nightmares 2"? I have my own theory on the game too, but I want to see what do you think about it.
#CancelOvid!!!!!
Flappy bird is basically Icarus
All Danganronpa fans, MatPat should do a theory on Mondo butter and if (or how) it will be possible
Matt can you make a theory on little nightmares
#cancelcovid
The story of ikarus and Daedalus was in my english book
This just reminds me of genshin impact
Yo I finally got my name said in a MatPat Video!
Nice to hear my name
This channel isnt ruining my childhood its making it better before no pandemic i would always watch him
I’m surprised it took this long. Kratos has been using the Wings of Icarus since he ripped them off Icarus himself in God of War II. By the way, “B.C.” and “A.D.” haven’t been accepted for proper use for quite some time. The proper terms are “B.C.E.” (Before the Common Era) and “C.E.” (Common Era) rather than the religiously charged “Before Christ” and “Anno Domini” (Latin for “in the year of our Lord”). Scientists and historians haven’t use BC and AD for decades.
Well that was one weird maybe elabrate sponser, I thought when it said Phoenix was spelled wrong at first I thought I missed something 😐😑😐😁😂🤣
Its PhoENiX nOT fEnYX, but in all seriousness it looks like an edgy gamer tag like pyxl or xx69darkshadow69xx. its even more irritating to spell now.
P H E O N E X
I can't wait for someone to make a theory about mat pat, how does he have so much time to do study these topics and then make the actual video?
Game developers should *definitely* consult you at Game Theory for accuracy!
