Paw Patrol isn't the innocent kids show you thought it was.Ryder is actually dead,and the cartoon actually chronicles his adventures in Hell.The 8 members of the Paw Patrol are supposed to represent the 8 Deadly Sins.Chase is pride,because all those years of leadership must have gotten to his head by now.Marshall is greed,because he has the most merchandise by far.Rubble is wrath,because he's the biggest,being a bulldog and all.Rocky is gluttony,because he's a garbage man.Guess what garbage is mostly made of?That's right,food.Skye is lust because she was the only female.Zuma is envy because he has the least merchandise and is called on missions the least,resulting in jealousy.Everest is sloth,because snow is associated with staying inside,and staying inside too long results in laziness.Finally,Tracker is despair,because both are mostly ignored in their respective group.All the other inhabitants of Adventure Bay are ghosts haunting the place,but we are only seeing them the way Ryder sees them.In Ryder's eyes,they are all people who wronged him somehow when he was alive.The girl is representative of Ryder's failed relationship.The mayor is his mother,who never truly cared for him,which is why she's so incompent as a leader.Mayor Humdinger is his abusive father.Captain Turbot is his grouchy neighbor,again explaining his incompetence.This isn't how they actually are,but the way Ryder sees them.The shop owner is the creepy hobo down the street who harassed him as a child.The shop owners child and Jake are two brothers who bullied him in high school,hence the similar clothing.Also,the entire show is a dream Ryder is having while in a coma and hallucinating on drugs.Also,the show takes place during a nuclear apocalypse,which explains the talking dogs,aliens,and mer people.Also because Ryder is secretly mentally ill.I have no evidence to support any of this,but it's right because I say so
