00:00 Well, that's my nickname stranger my real name
00:02 Welcome to watch mojo and today
00:07 We're counting down our picks for the plot points in some of our favorite series that at the time of this video
00:13 Remain unresolved or unexplained if you've never pondered these mysteries there will be spoilers
00:21 Number 10 mr. Roman the spectacular spider-man
00:29 Tonight you're in a particularly unfriendly neighborhood
00:33 The final episode of spectacular spider-man was a rollercoaster of tension and plot twist you were the goblin all along
00:41 Norman Osborn is unmasked as the Green Goblin and supposedly perishes in the middle of a fight with Spidey
00:49 However in the very final shot of the series. He's seen at the airport in disguise
00:54 cryptically saying don't apologize I
00:58 Never do this shocking cliffhanger left too many questions is this mr.
01:04 Roman a clone or did Norman actually survive the fatal battle and if so how
01:09 we may never know since the show was robbed of a third season and
01:14 Nothing short of a revival will give fans the answer they desperately need number nine spikes parents
01:21 My little pony friendship is magic many of us are still annoyed that we never got a resolution
01:28 So the our pinkie pie and Applejack related plotline
01:31 But there's another familial mystery and friendship is magic
01:41 We never got an answer to who were spike the dragons real parents
01:45 All we really know about spikes past is that Twilight hatched his egg for her school entrance exam
01:51 And he became her surrogate little brother and number one assistant
01:55 Other than that the mystery of who his egg belonged to remains unsolved that doesn't tell me anything about who I am
02:02 It's made even more frustrating in the episode where the opportunistic sludge tricks poor spike into thinking
02:09 He's his father which ends up being a huge waste of time for everyone. I'm not your father
02:15 What I just said that to get in on this sweet castle life number eight the treasure chest
02:22 Steven universe and Steven universe future among her many other secrets Rose quartz
02:28 Steven's mother kept a few treasures in a pocket dimension in Lions, Maine
02:32 We've learned the history of every item hidden in the dimension except for one the treasure chest
02:46 Throughout the original show that chest has remained locked and outside of one failed attempt. No one has tried to open it
02:54 However in Steven universe the movie we see that the chest was opened off-screen
03:12 But its contents were never revealed it must not have been important enough to show the audience
03:18 But we can't help but ponder what other secrets Rose was hiding number seven the great mushroom war adventure time
03:25 No matter how much we learn about our favorite citizens of ooh
03:29 There's always one over arching mystery that's hung over adventure time since season one the great
03:36 Mushroom war one thousand years ago my beloved friend
03:41 Simon Petricoff gave his life to save this foolish
03:45 unworthy planet from annihilation this conflict took place
03:50 1,000 years before the series ultimately ending in the world's devastation and the near total
03:55 Annihilation of the human race and all of you bid it
03:58 While we've seen the aftermath of the war there's so much about it that still shrouded in mystery what started the war
04:07 How did they create a weapon deadly enough to devastate the earth?
04:12 and
04:14 Arguably the most frightening question of all how far along are we from making the mushroom war a reality it aches for our
04:23 extinction number six
04:25 Terror's revival Teen Titans fans are still rightfully upset about the original Teen Titans
04:31 Cancellation mostly because the series finale left too many unanswered questions
04:35 You were the best friend I ever had
04:39 One of the biggest is how terror returned from the dead
04:42 When we last saw her in season 2 she had been turned to stone after heroically sacrificing herself in the series finale
04:52 She appears to have returned to normal with seemingly no memory of her previous life
04:56 But how did she break out of her tomb?
04:59 Did she somehow break out on her own or was she set free by outside forces?
05:04 Is she truly amnesiac or is she still burdened by her past sins and desperately trying to leave her old life behind?
05:11 I'm just a girl with a geometry test next period and I haven't studied
05:15 Number five Timmy's parents real names the fairly odd parents in the original
05:22 Oh, yeah cartoons shorts Timmy Turner's parents had their faces hidden from the audience
05:27 Once the fairly odd parents got its own show their faces were revealed
05:31 But now their real names were hidden your first names are
05:35 They're mostly referred to as mom and dad mr. And mrs. Turner and so on anytime their real names are about to be revealed
05:47 They're hilariously cut off by outside forces
05:50 It's become a running gag within the show
05:57 But after a while you could call them something other than Timmy's parents
06:02 The only other names we could refer to them as are their code names from their poacher geek years
06:08 But those hardly count
06:10 Number four Bill ciphers final words Gravity Falls what?
06:17 Do a pretty good impression of my brother don't I see the insidious Bill cipher being destroyed in the Gravity Falls finale was
06:27 Extremely satisfying
06:29 However as he fades out of existence Bill screams out a strange gibberish message before Stan punches his lights out
06:41 If you play his dying words backward they translate to a xo L O T L my time has come to burn
06:55 I invoke the ancient power that I may return had the show continued
07:00 This could have been a hint that bill could return since an axolotl is a salamander known for its ability for regeneration
07:06 If this is true, how could he pull it off? What ancient power was he referring to?
07:12 Exactly. Should we be worried about the cryptic shots of his petrified form?
07:17 Hopefully we'll never have to find out but we should still be wary of another weird mageddon
07:23 Number three double D's hat Ed Ed and Eddie
07:27 Double-d is unarguably the most sensible of the ads, but there's one dark secret
07:33 He's keeping from the rest of the cast in the audience. What is he hiding under his hat?
07:38 He is never seen without something covering or obscuring his head and he's desperate to keep his secret hidden from the world
07:49 Whatever he's hiding. It's enough to leave Ed and Eddie
07:52 Speechless and give Eddie plenty of blackmail material
07:55 We were promised to reveal in the movie but that didn't happen
08:02 For double D's sake it may be best that we never find out number two the secret formula
08:12 SpongeBob SquarePants we could sit around all day and ask how mr. Krabs can possibly have a well for a daughter
08:19 Pearl's my daughter! I'll spit in your eye!
08:22 Yo ho! Pearl's a whale and it's her birthday!
08:26 Yark Yark Yark! Ta da!
08:28 Thanks for the show dad, but there's an even bigger mystery in the SpongeBob franchise
08:35 What is the Krabby Patty secret formula?
08:38 This one mysterious ingredient is the key to crab success and Plankton is desperate to uncover the mystery
08:45 Over time the audience has become curious too
08:49 It doesn't help that every time we come close to finding out it turns out to be a dead end or misdirection
08:55 Mixed together with the most important ingredient of all
08:59 Four heaping pounds of freshly ground
09:03 Plankton?
09:05 There have been several theories
09:08 But it seems like the only one who could decipher the blessed recipe was the series late creator
09:14 Steven Hillenburg
09:16 Before we unveil our topic here are a few honorable mentions
09:23 Why did Dave tie a squirrel to his megaphone? Dave the Barbarian arguably the biggest mystery of all time

10:17 Number one where is Springfield the Simpsons?
10:23 With such a colorful cast of characters anyone would be dying to visit the Simpsons home city of Springfield
10:29 There's just one problem. We have no idea where Springfield is.
10:34 I didn't know what state you lived in.
10:36 It's a bit of a mystery, yes.
10:37 The state in which the iconic city is set is purposely left vague within the show with a few misdirecting clues
10:43 Springfield eh? What state?
10:45 I can't imagine we're allowed to say.
10:47 The exterior and layout are almost never consistent and it's been said that it borders Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky.
10:55 A placement that would give any geography expert a migraine.
10:58 You can see the four states that border Springfield Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky.
11:04 It's clear the show is having too much fun with its intentionally contradicting location.
11:10 But it never stops fans from trying in vain to unravel the mystery of the iconic cartoon family's home.
