My theory is that he sat on the chair, because he gave up. The description the twitter gave states that Mono is a determined child, and hardly gives up on a task before it's completed. Think about what his first goal was, to reach the Signal Tower, then his other goal, it was to save Six....twice. However the second time, when he saved her, and Six dropped him, something changed in him. He had no purpose left to fulfill, so he just gave up. Decided to just waste away in there, until he got older, and then got a new goal to achieve.
imo, i think he's dead, the moment those flesh eye walls closed in on him, his body ceases to exist, and what we're seeing with him in that room is the Tower's own purgatory for his soul/mind, nothing left to do but wait and watch the tower twist his soul into nightmare fuel
I think his goal never changed, he wanted to find and “rescue” six and the description of the Thin man reads as follows: _As the ever-present hum of The Transmission chokes the airwaves, The Thin Man continues his endless journey through this desolate place, haunting the shadows, _*_searching for something_* In a way his main goal through the game never changed even as he transformed into the Thin man, he is still looking for Six.
One thing I’ve noticed is that Mono's eyes seem to be completely black, which could be why he has a bag over his head. One fo the reasons six dropped his was because she saw his face for the first time and connected the dark eyes with the thin man/his powers. Also throughout the games and comics it seems like everything is after children, either to use them or kill them. What if children, or their nightmares, are being used to fuel the world around them. The eye, the north wind, the ferryman, the thin man and the lady all seem to be after children. In the case of Mono he has his TV abilities and a fear of being alone so the eye/thin man hunt him down and use his nightmares to power the pale city. The world could quite literally be a bunch of ‘little nightmares’ of children being used and manipulated by the monsters of this world.
The ending sequence of Secrets of The Maw focuses in on the television seen within the Janitors living quarters. On this television is the silhouette of the Thin Man, which is depicted in a similar fashion to when Mono first released the Thin Man from within the Signal Tower. Does this imply that the Thin Man, who we know is an adult Mono, is pursing Six. Possibly to avenge himself upon her. Both Six and Mono are incredibly powerful individuals, so we can only assume that there will be a final confrontation that’ll end in catastrophe.
Six probably does, the same happens to Mono and my theory is: In the lady’s place, the pictures of “six” on the wall are of the lady when she was younger, which would actually technically be six. The ones with both would be the lady before THAT one anointing the next, that being the one we see in the game.
@@formeryounglinkmain I personally do not believe that Six is the Governess. They are two separate entities with no relation. Six isn’t in a loop either, only Mono appears to be.
@@sorinxi7455 How the hell you get this WRONG?! Thin man is NOT the villian, you stupid. The flesh of eyes is the main villain. Who tricked Six into betraying Mono, and made Mono to wait for his vengeance.
9:28 "this way is easier than fighting constantly and failing all over again and getting hurt more and more" Isn't that similar to if we look at the events in Six's perspective? Maybe she'd rather become a monster in the tower with her music box than constantly being chased by a monster?
It's bad enough we had Runaway Kid eaten by six after becoming a nome but dropping mono and causing him to become The Thin Man now has six on thin ice. If the eye orchestrated mono's doom then it also orchestrated six's destiny since the eye wants to live.
The signal tower eventually corrupts you and turns you fully evil. It brings out the evil in you once it is able to find a way to break you. The driving point for this event was the betrayal by Six, which made Mono give in to his darker side. I believe Mono and Thin Man are the same people, but connected by the corridor of time, one of the inmate powers belonging to Mono that was unfortunately corrupted and usurped by evil of the signal tower.
hello! upon replaying little nightmares 2 i noticed another detail that may make more sense as well. after you get dropped and are with the eyes, if you attempt to run in any other direction away from the chair, another identical one just appears. i tried to run in various directions for a while just to have the same thing happen again. also, as we know, inside of the tower time is warped. if mono just never sat down, perhaps no time would pass, and he would never grow or be able to get out. maybe when he sat in the chair, time was sped up inside the tower so mono could age quicker, too. or maybe he just aged at the same pace. overall, i find it interesting how there’s no end to that area with the chair and it’s impossible to escape it.
@@myahowell361 Oh yea nice! ^^ I know about Mono meaning one XD Just didn't knew the name of the fear and that they said it's the exact reason the called him that! Cool! :3
One thing I want to helped in the maybe future games is that, their’s a monster that has some control over itsself and tries to help the player while also slowly turns in the mindless monster in the little nightmares world.
The theme of little nightmares is loneliness, but there is only one character that is lonely and that is the hunter, do what makes him special? Because the teacher has her students, doctor has his patients, thin man also can be looked at as lonely but he uses that to punish other children who betrayed him. Also the goal of the thin man, besides doing the work of the eye, is to make everyone feel that loneliness he felt, taking kids from a friend etc, he just wants everyone to feel lonely.
We can assume that the exterior of the Signal Tower is a man-made structure, given that it was constructed with a purpose in mind. Though the interior is what I think most would consider unfathomable circumstances. The known reality as become incredibly warped, as seen with the seemingly endless corridors and various floating objects present within the tower. It is truly surreal. One of the more otherworldly aspects of the tower is the presence of a hazed pink light whose source is hidden within the tower’s structure. So it would be safe to assume that the interior of the tower is a pocket reality or some other otherworldly phenomenon that warps the surrounding environment. The tower has the ability to essentially manifest, or at least project the future of those who stay within, as seen with Six’s room within the tower. Various items within the Maw were present, which has yet to come in the timeline. The Signal Tower emits an ever humming pulse of energy into the atmosphere that irreversibly distorts the minds and bodies of those who are within close proximity or have endured prolonged exposure. The energy that emits from the tower appears to be entwined with a broadcast frequency, which is seen throughout the televisions within Pale City. The various channels essentially render the Pale City citizens brain-dead, which allows for an all the more easier process of consumption. The bodies of these viewers are literally sucked through the televisions and are then transported to the Signal Tower, where their eroded biomass acts as a foundation for the interior of the Signal Tower.
@@Jaysmh but why turn six into a monster though? Why not kill her then? Maybe thin man really is adult Mono and he still cares enough about six to not bring himself to kill her?
My theory is that when six was in the signal tower, the music brainwashed her into hating mono. And I also feel like time is so much faster in the tower than outside of the tower. That his how she forgot about the good things that mono did for her.
Wait a minute, i just realized something while watching this video, about the signal tower. The signal tower has been shown to be able to use monos power as long as it has him at its disposal, and the power to absorb life force basically(since it absorbs the flesh of viewers). Now, after the game, we see six leave a TV screen, and glitch six sends her to the maw, but probably not to become the next lady, because the ladies predececor was the pretender from very little nightmares probably. Now, six has been shown to absorb power by eating flesh at the end of the first game, where she aquired the power to absorb life force, and was able to use monos power for a little bit after touching him, see where i'm going? Glitch six is also ineresting here, because my personal theory is that glitches fill the gaps left when kids are removed from the time loop, which is why mono can patch things up again, and thin man creates one after taking six, so that would imply that six is somehow outside the timeloop, but the timeloop version of her still follows her around, but only visible during hunger attacks? We also see in the first game glitch six is more solid and dark than in number 2, implying that she is no longer made of tv static, to me it sounds like she might have broken the timeline. Now what else in the games has the power to absorb life force and use monos power while having him there... the signal tower maybe? And since six has been shown to eat whatever she sees when she's hungry, and she is somehow disconnected from the loop, would it be a stretch to say shell eventually eat something with a more extreme power? Yes ladies and gentlemen, i think six will eat the(or part of the) signal tower, and either become it, or destroy it, ending the story. (Or the games just end here and the loop continues but i still like this theory)
the hunger attacks are normal, they occur like this in the maw, the guests are so hungry that they are so fat, six is hungry. the hunger is ALWAYS peaking in the maw
It started when Mono found out overtime by using his abilities that he found the ability to go back in time, upon knowing this, he decides to go back to the point of where he was a child to find out where his younger self is since he would logically assume Six is with his child self at this time, he fails at saving himself, and then that Mono survives and then grows up with the same thinking as his previous self although the same self if that makes any sense.
@@Vanerov but won't he realize just chasing and kidnapping six is the main reason why his kid self got into the tower like it's him he KNOWS his determination to save six is too strong why won't he just let them be let them grow up without him into the picture
@@HowardHank Edit: He's not aware at first that kidnapping Six causes his younger self to go to The Tower, he figures that out when he sees his younger self trying to save her, which then causes him to go after his younger self and catch him to stop him from saving her, he's not aware that his younger self's determination to save Six is "too strong", he just goes after Mono to try and stop him from doing the same mistake He did. Once Mono kills himself and the other events unfold He's betrayed, to add he doesn't know that this tall guy that captured his friend is him, so he doesn't know, he then does the same thing his future self did over and over, because he doesn't know his mistake.
less depressing but far fetched theory: whenever the thin man captures you an unseen alternate reality happens where he’s able to kill six and mono is free
I just beat this game last night. I knew she was gonna betray him from her previous actions in the first game, but I was still heartbroken. That poor kid did everything to help and protect her, and she abandons him. 😢
if he was able to talk with her, he would have told her to never betray mono again, and the loop will be destroyed. Your statement makes no sense because if the characters were able to talk with each other we wouldn't have this franchise
@@aerulia He already does talk, there's audio files of The Thin Man talking in a very distorted voice, there's also concept art that shows The Thin Man sitting at a desk with a child sitting on a chair and seems to be interrogating them.
@@Vanerov but it doesn’t matter cause the game doesn’t support the idea of them talking, the distorted voice the concept art and even mono saying hi is just fun little things that are put, they don’t rely on talking they rely on body language alone
@@aerulia What are you talking about? It does matter because The Thin Man speaking reveals what He is doing, He's trying to save Himself, the concept art were ideas that were gonna be in the game but were either removed because they were to violent or inappropriate or because it didn't fit the story.
I remember hearing someone saying that the mail pack from the place where that suitcase you open they said it sounds like porcelain and the mail you delivered I think that’s the craftsman
There's a lesson behind mono's transformation, that don't stuck your life in the same place, keep moving forward so that everything will be good planned not change for be bitter, change for a better, try to move on in your sad and bad past...
Tbh i was gonna edit my comment and say that it proberly started off as the girl we play as very little nightmares then went of to six when she put the raincoat on
one of the most hoed characters in gaming history, definitely heartbroken because mono desperately tries to save six even after being injured and then having to fight his future self who is trying to stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life, i say that because initially he was after six clearly for revenge but he didn't grab her with hostility he captured her then confronted his younger self, the pale city is the way it is because of mono's and the eye's abilities from when mono is betrayed and he excepts his fate, but it seems he had his own agenda by luring his younger self to free him and trying to separate his younger self from six, but his younger self is stronger then he becomes the thin man and so on until mono does something different.
Mono literally cries when he grows up,Just check out the all the little nightmares character face reveal by vikan gaming, in which while mono grows up ,in each model of his character he's seen crying.
If you noticed, under the bed where Mono hid there were eyes drawn with chalk. If you stand anywhere else or hide with Six, Thin Man catches you. Maybe the eyes drawn by chalk serves like a ward so thin man can fuck off, or something? The drawings by the wall should say the past owner had encountered the Thin Man more than once. I mean, when Mono fell he didn't like being looked at by the eyes and constructed a room so he can be on his own without any eyes to judge him. He learned that his face being exposed is bad since nobody liked to see his face, to the point of hating him. You find alot of chalk drawings full of eyes like the Bullies, one with the dunce cap and the other that got crushed by Six.
This is just my theory, in my opinion Mono is not trapped in the black tower for years, but he immediately grows quickly like six when he was in the black tower. And if we remember the end of the scene credits in DLC Little Nightmares 1, entitled Residence, I think the appearance of the thin man at the end of the TV is a mono that has become thin man, knowing if the DLC timeline is only a few minutes or hours before the timeline little nightmares 1 started, which could mean that this incident must have been after the incident of Little Nightmares 2. And because of this I assumed that the mono that had become thin man would come back into action, I just don't know when, and I also hope a little if mono can still be saved. if we remember when six became a monster, we destroyed the music box and six returned to its original form, I thought that mono might still be able to return to its original form, but I don't know whether this happens or not, inj is just my weird theory. Sorry because my english is bad :') 🙏🏽
My more detail concept. The pirates have broken shorts, old shirt and a headbands. The have short range pistol with little recoil and the shoot three times then they go to get more bullets and you go through a food table with drunk pirates and you have to sneak and in hind sight. The captain you see as you sneak in on his bedroom on the boat you sneak under the bed and he wakes up his face is dropping off and he wears a long red coat his and long hands. He has a white bushy beard and hair all over his face. His legs are bones. He walks around with a musket. Unlike the hunter he is fast and will easily catch you. Has you reach the upper deck you see people shackled working and pirates beating them cause the don't do the job fast enough if the see you the will chase you and take you to the captain In hope to not be a slave anymore
Bro mono don't deserves this much pain like getting hated,fear of being alone and getting betrayed and meeting his biggest fear and SPEND HIS REST OF HIS LIFE ON A CHAIR like would u live ur rest of ur life on a CHAIR like I feel really bad
Another theory mono put six in danger Mono is useless to six when she get kidnapped and also let thin man out he opened the door Then when mono was under the bed six reaches out for help but mono stays hidden mono betrayed six six got betrayed by the girl in the yellow rain coat they both betrayed her six is mad this is the last time she ever relies on anyone Also my how to break the loop theory If mono dies no thin man if no thin man no tower if no tower no little nightmares yes six hand the fate of the world in her hand If six dies mono won’t get betrayed and won’t get stuck in the tower and if mono isn’t in the tower the tower will die a hitch make it little nightmares is over but the loop continues for ever That’s my theory hope you like it
Well i don't necessarily think the tower will completely disappear if it isn't a mono think again the only reason the tower was getting destroyed is because the music box was broken
@@noexcuses5524 You think this ending is bad? Have you played PlayDead's Inside? That ending is depressing. And they (I think) worked on Little Nightmares
I actually hate this kind of endings. In my worldview, everything should have at least particularly good ending, end even tho i like this game, i still will mostly hate it because of it's ending, it would be so awesome if at some point Six will not betray Mono, so he would not become the Thin Man, and then the loop will end, and the happy ending will triumph...
2:10 No, I don’t think it took years. I think it took moments. Six is still a child in the first game, which is the sequel to LN2 and at the end of the DLC, the tv turns on showing the thin man. You can hear seagulls in the background before tv is turned on. He is looking for Six. 3:57 No, he replaced someone else. It was never Mono that took Six, it was someone else that became the thin man. The thin man existed before Mono became one. Mono became what he feared. The reason why Six doesn’t become the thin man because the thin man existed and that wasn’t her fear. She feared Mono. Every time you get to Six while she’s as a giant, you break down the door with an ax like the beginning of the game. 8:35 No, he doesn’t willing do so. He’s trapped in there so you’re not “willingly” staying there. He’s trapped and depressed. He feared being the thin man and he feared being alone. Remember he was trying to escape so you can’t say he was willing to stay there. He had no choice.
I had this thought. You said they wanted to escape but what if that is completely opposite of what they wanted? What if Mono and Six were not trying to escape?
The eye held him as close as he tried to hold onto other people......he would never be alone again. He didn't have to run from monsters anymore because he was one,
First off I love the creative juices flowing with this video 😎👍⭐ Second I just thought of this little theory: The Tv's call the people towards it because mono wants people to become closer to him, the feeling of not being alone, smiling with a false reality of "they love me." With the heroic young man, never coming to terms with facing his true feelings.
After thinking on it, I think maybe we give Six too much credit for knowing Mono will become the thin man. I agree that his identity probably led to her betrayal but to me if the tower was crumbling and she left Mono behind, there would be no memories of her time with him which probably caused her pain. Part of me wonders if she had consciousness as monster Six and remembered that he took her source of comfort (music box) and simply wanted to get away from him.
I have my own theory as to why Six betrayed Mono. She is afraid. (Not afraid of her hunger taking over because that happened after she betrayed him. Kinda like a karma sorta thing.) She is afraid of his powers and what could turn him into (in this case, The Thin Man). Before when Mono let Future Mono escape, at the time when he comes crashing back you can see Six trying to help him get up. Mono springs up which startled Six. Six gestures for him to quickly get up. Then, the hands appear on the tv. Six looks at the tv, and back at Mono. As soon as the arm comes out she realized that Mono made a mistake and hauls ass leaving him behind because (tbh it *is* his fault but it's an endless loop so I give mercy this time) he freed something dangerous. Six gets captured by Thin Man and if I remember correctly, she becomes corrupted. (So it's basically not only Future Mono's fault for corrupting six but also Mono for freeing himself out of curiosity. Poor Mono.😞) Time Skip! After Mono brings back to her senses, she looks at her music box that she used to adore so much. I feel like this scene builds up her hatred for Mono as you can see her slowly looking back at Mono however it's interrupted by the Eye Monster. Time Skip again! When she grabs Mono's hand she looks at his face probably remembering looking up at the Thin Man when he took her (like down the hall and into the room of corruption or something). She saw the resemblance in their faces. Then it clicked. Finally, *she let go.*
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 🤨 Not a time loop? Either I'm on drugs or the Time Loops theory, that *many* and almost all LN 2 fans prooved to be true, *is bullshit.* (Scuza me for the language.)
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 I get where ya coming from but you can't take the Time Loop out of it. *And I do agree there is more than what meets the eye.*
@@LittleLad9 there's literally no visual proof of time travel at all and it doesn't fit the realm of Little Nightmares. this is my theory but Thin Man isn't some person that Mono 'grows up' to be, he's distorted into Thin man, cuz Thin Man is an entity like ghost figure, a projection from the Tower, he's the only character in the entire franchise that doesn't leave a corpse when he dies, he's not a physical being and has no real thought process. in short, its a puppet, designed by the tower to take children away or anyone who resists the tower's signal (as its the mainplot point of the entire game, not time travel). what happens to Mono at the end is pretty terrible, i think he dies, his soul is sorta imprisoned in the tower to and twisted into its image, more of a continuation of Thin Man then a 'reloop' Little Nightmares thrives on visual cues in story telling, until I actually SEE time-travelling as clearly as gnome/kid shadows or Mono going through TVs, its hard to believe, there's too much 'off screen' ideas that fits more into perspective then fact Tower is clearly the one that creates it all, thats the real villain
Maybe when looking into monos eyes at the end, it reminded her of the thin mans eyes. so maybe it *then* reminded her of when the thin man captured her. so since it *reminded* her of the thin man she thought that mono was bad and was *bad* just like the thin man. *but i do not think this theory is 100% true.* just like every other theory as they are not 100% certain.
(typing this before i fully finished the vid so sorry if you said this already) i think mono had to be possessed by the eye to sit in the chair for that long. first off why is there a chair in the middle of the eye gunk? it led him to that and he stayed for a long time. the way mono is described i'd think he'd at least make some attempt to escape. he was depressed being betrayed by six but i don't think it would last to the point where he just stayed there. then again he'd probably been tired of running and hiding and risking his life in the pale city, and for all that to lead to such a betrayal. six and mono holding hands in the game showed a bond, so i can understand how that would hurt him so much. she was probably his longest standing friend because so many kids were being snatched up. and him knowing the fate that kids endured i could see why he would sit alone and let himself grow old, he at least had some power then. i just finished watching the 2nd game playthrough and i'm loving all the theories.
Perhaps Mono doomed himself when he destroyed the "thin man". Maybe, if he had not destroyed him, Mono and Six could have escaped this world together and started new lives elsewhere.
I love the creative directors insistence on being cryptic lol Interviewer: *Little Nightmares has such a foreboding world rich with possibilities in terms of story development. However there are many players left puzzled by the games shocking ending. In your own words, what is the context and what does this mean for the future of these characters?* David Mervik: *...yes*
10:08 hmm 30 years or so? i must say, I dont think he actually literally aged. the changes evolution u see probably didn't took years to happen. i think the slimy eyed monster implanted in him change him into monster. thin man was mono version. just like six that was big with dislocated arm. my interpretation based on that strange high tall proportion and no food around for mono. but that's just my opinion tho for this open ending game. no big deal
why I think he has the bag over his face first, there are drawings in all kid rooms that depict the thin man and the single tower even tho not near a working TV. Theory; when the world's adults (monsters) were kids they all had dreams/nightmares about the Thin Man embedded in their heads. Mono probably lived in the forest alone with a bag over his head because he probably walked around without it and was immediately attacked by anyone who saw his face. so that's also why Six drops Mono because it's the first time she sees him without Mono's bag. two things that support this 1) first meeting Six she drew the single tower on the wall implying she already knows its importance. 2) she stopped to grab mono at the and was fully committed to saving him until she got to see Mono's face for the first time then she hesitated and dropped him.
Basically because he was betrayed by the person he thought was his friend but it turns out Six was only using Mono like a pawn and once she didn't need him anymore she betrayed him
I mean mono is alone all his life six betrayed him which turn his mind evil and six was always selfish in the maw she didn’t even free the other kids who got trapped but mono freed her and the girl in the yellow rain coat helped her too six cares about her self that’s my theory
Mono gave up and slumped into the chair.....he ran away from alot of things, the hunter, the teacher, the crackhead kids, the mannequins, the doctor, and even the thin man.....he went through so much effort to save six. They were really close to escaping! All six needed to do was lift him up, so close to freedom. He gave up because we went through all that and still remains in the TV realm..... An example can be when you write a paragraph for school and do all the required work.....and still get a C 🤣😂🤣
One thing I find extremely odd is why the thin man in the concept art has one version that greatly resembles the Fairy/ Ferry Man. Is there a possibility that the Thin Man is actually the Fairy/ Ferry Man in disguise and that's the real reason Six drops him at the end of the game? Because she has mixed feelings about him in the comics? It might not be anything, but it's something I thought was kind of interesting. Keep up the awesome work GamerSault!
A theory of mine is, that the Thin man is a vessel for the tower... And that the tower sees Mono as a new, much stronger vessel. There is a detail that when Mono teleports for the first time, you can see an eye in a fleshy wall for a brief moment... The same thing you can see in the tower at the end, so maybe his powers are connected to the tower? I also believe that it is the tower who destroys the thin man, not Mono... When I recall correctly is the thin man looking up to the tower before disappearing, as if to look in shock at his "master" now betraying and destroying him... And the tower is then pretty much welcoming Mono, opening the door for him to enter. Also, you can see Mono being in pain when the eyes get closer to him while he's on the chair, probably torturing him mentally, only to then disappear.... Maybe he accepted his fate at that point of the tower took over...
My theory about this is that he there is literally nothing else he can do. When the chair is in the corridor of flesh, there's no where else for him to go, (I looked), and the chair is the only thing not made of flesh and eyes, which he probably wanted to stop touching because gross and scary. Then, when the room turns into an actual room, there's no windows, cracks in the wall, way to climb up the walls (not that it matters as there's a ceiling as well), and only 1 door, except the door has no handle from the inside. I believe that he can sort of "project" a part of himself out of the room (you can see him going after that one kid in the second comic and he can't do that if he can't get out in some way) but he's still physically stuck there. Like his conscience may not be there, but he's still bound there, you know. He can still physically interact with objects and people when he does that. So, using that method, he can access the entire rest of the tower... except the hall that leads to the door he's trapped behind. Any time he tries to go down that corridor to free himself, he glitches out and is sucked back into his actual body. Also, he probably wasn't just sitting there for all those years, he probably got up to stretch or walk around every once on a while. We just see little snap shots over the years he was there, little flashes, who knows what he could've been doing during the times in-between each snap shot
Its interesting i should watch the end again but i felt mono wanted to be drop his whole goal was to protect 6 so when he their hanging he knew the only way 6 will be free if she droped him.i thought he had a look of "its okay ill be fine" so i never saw it being 6 betraying mono.
actually, i believe you can find the thin man's fedora hat around the map, cause i remember watching a gameplay of someone finding the hat of the thin man somewhere
Thinman has a nightmare, Six is trapped in his nightmare or she is not real, it is a memory of Thinman's past (As the comic seems to suggest), this is why Six is hungry for the essence of the living. Mono is Thinman's inner child, who tries to repair the mistakes of his own past, but he cannot change his past because it has already passed. Six puts on the raincoat and immediately discovers that he has to take Mono to the tower (the raincoat is the same as Mono's mask and the origin of the shadow), because Six discovers that it is not real and if she wants to survive, she has to escape the nightmare. The reason that she has not been killed by the Hunter is because she is set to serve as a trap and that is why she becomes a monster in the tower and the Lady is not able to feel her presence as she does with Seven . Thinman is just a shell of the man who hung himself in the Maw, Mono is not a glitch, it is the rebellious idea, the remorse of a person who has not accepted what he has become.
Cut and dry case to me . Mono wears the bag to hide who he is to escape . He knows his escape is through six so he wears it so she doesn’t know who he is . Six gets captured by thin man she knows who he is cause the time spent were she was could be infinite . She at the end when they are running sees mono for the first time realizes he is thin man and out of either fear or knowing what he will become drops him maybe thinking of breaking the circle killing him or know if he is free something terrible could happen so she has to keep the cycle of him trying to break out . I know a guy ;)
One thing that wouldn’t make sense is what happens after the thin man “dies” because the pale city would collapse because mono would become the past thin man to run it in the past but in the future it would be destroyed so I think that the eye protected mono/thin man by teleporting him to safety because when thin man died it looked like he just flaked away
I find it funny that many games get called ''the Dark Souls of-'' + genre because of things like difficulty and certain in-game mechanics... but Little Nightmares is very Dark Souls-esque in its way of story-telling and basically letting fans go ham on theories because of the expertly crafted world, yet very little confirmation or literal storytelling. Also, timelines, nightmares, almost lovecraftian monstrosities influencing sanity... LN2 reminded me of Bloodborne for some reason. And I appreciate games that make me want to go on to reddit and youtube to discuss the story - it's basically a *huge* compliment to the artists that created these worlds, who made them this damn interesting.
The signal tower is where time start's to stop when a younger mono freed the thin man there is clock that you can hear so time is stopped in the whole city exept the room where thin man is when you get to the inside the signal tower time space and riality is distorted/damaged by the eye The eye might be the one make it happen tge time is stopped by the eye in the tower the eye distroyed the time space and riality of the signal tower then what the eye do is that he/she isolate the people in a room just like mono if six is caught by thin man/mono the eye isolate six to became it's own nightmare and thwn give the thing's that they have not seen or seen before like the toy's in the hospital so isolate and then put in a room then stay or run out the tower that is my theory
The Thin Man wasn't trapped or Mono. He simply traveled through The Pale City and The Woods which is confirmed by the glitched remains and Episode 2 of the Digital Comics. The Eye Creature was created by Mono's actions has shown in concept art.
excuse my bad english 9:05 That gave me another theory's idea fr why others hate Mono. Let's suppose that Mono/Thin Man wants to shut down/destroy the Signal Tower. What would happen? But first, we must answer this question about our world: why do we watch TV/series/movies, play games, have hobbies. To distract us, escape our daily life. And it's okay. But if we do that to avoid facing our problem, that where it becomes a problem. The world we leave in ...is not doing so well, I don't talk about the pandemic. It's naive to believe that we can continue like this. (the economy is broken, social tension has never been so high, the environment is getting destroyed day by day, and all sorts of other problems). Why we do nothing? : it's comfortable to avoid reality than taking action. It's easier to let things as they are. So lest establish few things about the character: The hunter. : Honestly, I don't understand what he could represent. feel free to feel that hold for me. The teacher: learns to the children how the world work and those who disagree or do not conform are seen has to threat. Don't question the way things work and conform. The patient wants to forget about their ''imperfection''. Obsession with appearance, The Doc wants to keep alive his patients, even if that makes them suffer. Refusal of reality that is death The viewer is the interesting The Viewers live life through the screen and cannot imagine a world without it. All those wonderful colors, sounds, and shapes dancing before their eyes, mesmerizing them, pacifying them, fattening them up. The Transmission gives them all they need and demands only one thing in return mesmerizing: distract them pacifying: make them conform or accept reality Fattening them up: encourage laziness, mostly intellectual laziness. The thing the Transmission asks is simple: keep ignoring the problems So! Back to Mono! what would happen if he succeeds in shouting down the Transmission? The habitants will be forced to face reality and its problems. Reameber this phrase in Wall-e? ''Rather than try and fix that problem, it'll be just easier for everyone to remain in space.'' Just replace ''remain in space'' by '' submit to the Transmission'' just look at this scene fully from this point: ua-cam.com/video/U2y7W4nGXYs/v-deo.html That why they hate him. He trying to put an end to their illusions that prevent them to face and fix the problem. When Mono finds Six in her deform form, she is under the control of the music box, comforting her, making her forget her reality. When mono started to destroyer her music box she gets super angry, because he destroying the thing that she is willingly blinding herself whit. The irony is that Mono is wearing a paper bag to forget his reality. And when he gets trap in the tower, he covers his eyes. bonus: Just like Six was a threat to the Maw, Monoi is a threat to the Transmission. It wants to trap him because he is a threat to its control over the city. A bit like when a whistle-blower is put to jail for being ''too loud''. And even use him to reaffirms its controls and powers over the habitant by displaying Mono as a trouble maker. Maybe that even why Six drop him at the end, she got trick by the Transmission too.
My theory, when 6 gets captured by the thin man, the thin man tells 6 everything about the thin man being mono, along with that she gets really angry and frustrated at mono. So when 6 has to pull mono up she doesn't, because she knows everything. When mono becomes the thin man he goes for 6 because now he hates her.
To be honest the tower was feeding him to be more revengeful and the blob did not take over anything he used some of his power to get rid of it but the tower is the problem to all of it
i think mono is greedy did not want anyone to know but he only prefers six and also six had lost her soul its why she dropped mono because her soulless body thought mono was gonna constantly be attached and would not let her leave his world. mono at the end hates the eyes watching him like a crowd of people trying to show mono their twisted worlds so mono tries to be not like them so he creates his own world though he becomes twisted just like his enemy because he was the enemy all along no one hates mono for becoming the thinman because mono created his own pale city he is there creator the thinman gets lonely and does not want to go outside of his world and when he was still mono he just did not really care what six did to him so he still looks for six the thinman took six's soul and dark six is actually six's soul and we do not see it at the end of little nightmares 1 while she eats the lady this is cause six's soul was in the lady the world planned for six to lose her soul so six would become twisted or die cause they thought a soulless six would make six weak and mindless but it messed up so it put six's soul in the lady
my theory is that this is a loop so the hanging man we see in ln 1 is the thin man and when the game ends mono becomes the thin man but then hangs himself for the loop to go on(repeating ln 1 and 2)because he knows that there is no happy ending nor a different one as the end shows six letting Mono fall. This also shows that the thin man knew this would happen so he tried to finish the loop quicker but couldn't since the loop is making Mono go on.
Well here what I think, mabye mono is aware that he'll become the thin man, and for some odd reason maybe he thinks that sixth can help him get out of the cycle... As time goes on with mono and sixth's friendship mono starts thinking that their's hope that he won't end up meeting his doom or turning into the thin man. But when sixth saw what he was (potentially the thin man trying to harm them) she let go so she wouldn't have to fear anymore. But sixth fail to understand that he was trying to break the cycle but sixth couldn't or didn't want to see beyond that.. So mono accepts who he is and turns into the thin man (but doesn't enjoy it) so he wanted to change it since he never wanted to become this in the first place thus kidnapping sixth so mono could walk alone, since maybe he realizes that sixth was the problem and also an act of revenge...
It probably is just a character design but I mean “how did Mono get his hat?” There Hass to be an answer that doesn’t just amount to design… I mean the game Devs wouldn’t have given us a hat scavenger hunt if it was that simple right? I really like your theories though, they make a lot of sense to me based on what I’ve seen from the games
This is so much of a theory but as a potential thematic resemblance. I think the Flesh (or the eye) is Azathoth from the Cthulhu mythos, or a least a powerful but unthinking being at the center of everything, particularly if you go with interpretation that Azathoth (or the flesh) is dreaming their world into existence and if the awaken the nightmare ends by destroying all existence in the process.
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 How? Mono is shown creating the broadcasts which led to the residents having their essence pulled and then that eventually creating The Eye entity.
My theory is that he sat on the chair, because he gave up. The description the twitter gave states that Mono is a determined child, and hardly gives up on a task before it's completed. Think about what his first goal was, to reach the Signal Tower, then his other goal, it was to save Six....twice. However the second time, when he saved her, and Six dropped him, something changed in him. He had no purpose left to fulfill, so he just gave up. Decided to just waste away in there, until he got older, and then got a new goal to achieve.
imo, i think he's dead, the moment those flesh eye walls closed in on him, his body ceases to exist, and what we're seeing with him in that room is the Tower's own purgatory for his soul/mind, nothing left to do but wait and watch the tower twist his soul into nightmare fuel
actually, he saves her life 3 times (the hunter, the bullies, and the rubbles), 4 times if you count the signal tower.
Basically my life
New goal: *murder*
I think his goal never changed, he wanted to find and “rescue” six and the description of the Thin man reads as follows:
_As the ever-present hum of The Transmission chokes the airwaves, The Thin Man continues his endless journey through this desolate place, haunting the shadows, _*_searching for something_*
In a way his main goal through the game never changed even as he transformed into the Thin man, he is still looking for Six.
One thing I’ve noticed is that Mono's eyes seem to be completely black, which could be why he has a bag over his head. One fo the reasons six dropped his was because she saw his face for the first time and connected the dark eyes with the thin man/his powers.
Also throughout the games and comics it seems like everything is after children, either to use them or kill them. What if children, or their nightmares, are being used to fuel the world around them. The eye, the north wind, the ferryman, the thin man and the lady all seem to be after children. In the case of Mono he has his TV abilities and a fear of being alone so the eye/thin man hunt him down and use his nightmares to power the pale city. The world could quite literally be a bunch of ‘little nightmares’ of children being used and manipulated by the monsters of this world.
Mono actually has blue eyes. I’ve seen his adolescent model, and he has faded blue eyes. His head-shape is almost reminiscent of a Viewer.
Good theory
@Bluewulf Six doesn’t have any eyes in the concept art, but we know she actually has brown eyes based off of her game model.
Great comment
I mean i don't agree with the sic dropped mono because of his face but i agree with the rest of your theory
The eye kept him company when no one else would
That actually makes sense

I can say your wrong but its makes sense also six kept him company aka mono It makes sense also your comment makes sense

what if mono gets 'food' and clothes from the viewers, wich are being sucked in the tower?
That's uh...
ok
W O AH theory
no no, they're right!
HMMMMMM NAH NAH THEY GOT A POINT
It’s to be believed that the signal tower (eye) provided the clothes to him.
The ending sequence of Secrets of The Maw focuses in on the television seen within the Janitors living quarters. On this television is the silhouette of the Thin Man, which is depicted in a similar fashion to when Mono first released the Thin Man from within the Signal Tower.
Does this imply that the Thin Man, who we know is an adult Mono, is pursing Six. Possibly to avenge himself upon her. Both Six and Mono are incredibly powerful individuals, so we can only assume that there will be a final confrontation that’ll end in catastrophe.
Yeah!
Might be why the only tvs are hidden far away from the lady, assuming six eventually becomes her if it's a theory you ascribe to.
Six probably does, the same happens to Mono and my theory is:
In the lady’s place, the pictures of “six” on the wall are of the lady when she was younger, which would actually technically be six. The ones with both would be the lady before THAT one anointing the next, that being the one we see in the game.
@@formeryounglinkmain I personally do not believe that Six is the Governess. They are two separate entities with no relation. Six isn’t in a loop either, only Mono appears to be.
@@AlbertusSalvatierra i dont think they have to be the same person for six to be destined to take over the maw but that's just me

It's bad enough we had Runaway Kid eaten by six after becoming a nome but dropping mono and causing him to become The Thin Man now has six on thin ice. If the eye orchestrated mono's doom then it also orchestrated six's destiny since the eye wants to live.
The signal tower eventually corrupts you and turns you fully evil. It brings out the evil in you once it is able to find a way to break you. The driving point for this event was the betrayal by Six, which made Mono give in to his darker side. I believe Mono and Thin Man are the same people, but connected by the corridor of time, one of the inmate powers belonging to Mono that was unfortunately corrupted and usurped by evil of the signal tower.
hello! upon replaying little nightmares 2 i noticed another detail that may make more sense as well. after you get dropped and are with the eyes, if you attempt to run in any other direction away from the chair, another identical one just appears. i tried to run in various directions for a while just to have the same thing happen again. also, as we know, inside of the tower time is warped. if mono just never sat down, perhaps no time would pass, and he would never grow or be able to get out. maybe when he sat in the chair, time was sped up inside the tower so mono could age quicker, too. or maybe he just aged at the same pace. overall, i find it interesting how there’s no end to that area with the chair and it’s impossible to escape it.
Imagine if Mono has a fear of being lonely, aka Monophobia.
he does lemao
Omg is it really called that? XD Thanks I didn’t know! ^^ This has to be why they called him Mono!
Actually that’s how they came up with his name Mono Mono also means one so...
@@myahowell361 Oh yea nice! ^^ I know about Mono meaning one XD Just didn't knew the name of the fear and that they said it's the exact reason the called him that! Cool! :3
He does in fact if u look closely we are going through mono's nightmare
The eye entity is the true villain, I feel so bad for Mono more with these possibilities 💔
One thing I want to helped in the maybe future games is that, their’s a monster that has some control over itsself and tries to help the player while also slowly turns in the mindless monster in the little nightmares world.
Captions: as his last hope, sex betrays him
hahah I thought that too
Mono died a virgin 😔
😅
Lol
@@ultimateinventor8424 Here lies Mono he ran fast and died a virgin. -Spy
The theme of little nightmares is loneliness, but there is only one character that is lonely and that is the hunter, do what makes him special? Because the teacher has her students, doctor has his patients, thin man also can be looked at as lonely but he uses that to punish other children who betrayed him.
Also the goal of the thin man, besides doing the work of the eye, is to make everyone feel that loneliness he felt, taking kids from a friend etc, he just wants everyone to feel lonely.
We can assume that the exterior of the Signal Tower is a man-made structure, given that it was constructed with a purpose in mind.
Though the interior is what I think most would consider unfathomable circumstances. The known reality as become incredibly warped, as seen with the seemingly endless corridors and various floating objects present within the tower. It is truly surreal. One of the more otherworldly aspects of the tower is the presence of a hazed pink light whose source is hidden within the tower’s structure.
So it would be safe to assume that the interior of the tower is a pocket reality or some other otherworldly phenomenon that warps the surrounding environment.
The tower has the ability to essentially manifest, or at least project the future of those who stay within, as seen with Six’s room within the tower. Various items within the Maw were present, which has yet to come in the timeline.
The Signal Tower emits an ever humming pulse of energy into the atmosphere that irreversibly distorts the minds and bodies of those who are within close proximity or have endured prolonged exposure. The energy that emits from the tower appears to be entwined with a broadcast frequency, which is seen throughout the televisions within Pale City.
The various channels essentially render the Pale City citizens brain-dead, which allows for an all the more easier process of consumption. The bodies of these viewers are literally sucked through the televisions and are then transported to the Signal Tower, where their eroded biomass acts as a foundation for the interior of the Signal Tower.

@@ILovePizza620 Mmhm. Though this was more of an observation than a theory. People always seem to mistake that.
This makes so much sense,especially the toys,I'm not 100% sure but weren't those in the Maw or am I having brain issues
She is not Six. Mono aren’t Thinman. It wasn’t prequel. Not a timeloop.
@@SabashiRain Mono is the Thin Man. LN2 is a prequel. This was confirmed by the lead writer for the Little Nightmares series.
Such an underrated youtuber, remember me when ur famous
I always thought it was weird how Mono could hide from the thin man under beds and such. Wouldn't the thin man remember that he hid there as a child?
Maybe the thin man only kidnaps six to stop the time paradox thing
Oh it could ruin the fact that mono is thin man
@@Jaysmh But since Mono grows up to be the Thin Man, shouldn't he remember that that didn't work?
@@Jaysmh but why turn six into a monster though? Why not kill her then? Maybe thin man really is adult Mono and he still cares enough about six to not bring himself to kill her?
@@ilike3887 Although he always knew where to look, for example when Mono goes into the vent, The Thin Man knew exactly where to go to search.
My theory is that when six was in the signal tower, the music brainwashed her into hating mono. And I also feel like time is so much faster in the tower than outside of the tower. That his how she forgot about the good things that mono did for her.
Dont forget her feelings were left behind too
Wait a minute, i just realized something while watching this video, about the signal tower. The signal tower has been shown to be able to use monos power as long as it has him at its disposal, and the power to absorb life force basically(since it absorbs the flesh of viewers).
Now, after the game, we see six leave a TV screen, and glitch six sends her to the maw, but probably not to become the next lady, because the ladies predececor was the pretender from very little nightmares probably.
Now, six has been shown to absorb power by eating flesh at the end of the first game, where she aquired the power to absorb life force, and was able to use monos power for a little bit after touching him, see where i'm going?
Glitch six is also ineresting here, because my personal theory is that glitches fill the gaps left when kids are removed from the time loop, which is why mono can patch things up again, and thin man creates one after taking six, so that would imply that six is somehow outside the timeloop, but the timeloop version of her still follows her around, but only visible during hunger attacks? We also see in the first game glitch six is more solid and dark than in number 2, implying that she is no longer made of tv static, to me it sounds like she might have broken the timeline.
Now what else in the games has the power to absorb life force and use monos power while having him there... the signal tower maybe? And since six has been shown to eat whatever she sees when she's hungry, and she is somehow disconnected from the loop, would it be a stretch to say shell eventually eat something with a more extreme power?
Yes ladies and gentlemen, i think six will eat the(or part of the) signal tower, and either become it, or destroy it, ending the story.
(Or the games just end here and the loop continues but i still like this theory)
the hunger attacks are normal, they occur like this in the maw, the guests are so hungry that they are so fat, six is hungry. the hunger is ALWAYS peaking in the maw
Everyone is wondering why this and that. But, I'm curious how the loop started
That is actually a good question
It started when Mono found out overtime by using his abilities that he found the ability to go back in time, upon knowing this, he decides to go back to the point of where he was a child to find out where his younger self is since he would logically assume Six is with his child self at this time, he fails at saving himself, and then that Mono survives and then grows up with the same thinking as his previous self although the same self if that makes any sense.
@@Vanerov but won't he realize just chasing and kidnapping six is the main reason why his kid self got into the tower like it's him he KNOWS his determination to save six is too strong why won't he just let them be let them grow up without him into the picture
@@HowardHank Edit:
He's not aware at first that kidnapping Six causes his younger self to go to The Tower, he figures that out when he sees his younger self trying to save her, which then causes him to go after his younger self and catch him to stop him from saving her, he's not aware that his younger self's determination to save Six is "too strong", he just goes after Mono to try and stop him from doing the same mistake He did. Once Mono kills himself and the other events unfold He's betrayed, to add he doesn't know that this tall guy that captured his friend is him, so he doesn't know, he then does the same thing his future self did over and over, because he doesn't know his mistake.
I think Mono stayed in that seat for a lot longer than 7 years...
Several I think
He was like 6-10 when he was dropped (idk the exact age I keep seeing different people say different things) so probably
@@A._.MurderOfCrows he was around Six’s age which is 9
So Mono is presumably 9 or 10
Judging by how he looks fully matured, he seems to be at least middle-aged.

@@AlbertusSalvatierra but how do you know that
Man I really love the look and feel of the little nightmares world and how each character and such an interesting backstory
one of the most hoed characters in gaming history, definitely heartbroken because mono desperately tries to save six even after being injured and then having to fight his future self who is trying to stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life, i say that because initially he was after six clearly for revenge but he didn't grab her with hostility he captured her then confronted his younger self, the pale city is the way it is because of mono's and the eye's abilities from when mono is betrayed and he excepts his fate, but it seems he had his own agenda by luring his younger self to free him and trying to separate his younger self from six, but his younger self is stronger then he becomes the thin man and so on until mono does something different.
Theory : mono wakes in little night mare three
There is no space between little, night and mere and there is supposed to be an s at the end but good Theory
I hope so. I don't like six anymore.
Mono literally cries when he grows up,Just check out the all the little nightmares character face reveal by vikan gaming, in which while mono grows up ,in each model of his character he's seen crying.
Six is goana be the nightmare 3 chapter
If you noticed, under the bed where Mono hid there were eyes drawn with chalk. If you stand anywhere else or hide with Six, Thin Man catches you. Maybe the eyes drawn by chalk serves like a ward so thin man can fuck off, or something? The drawings by the wall should say the past owner had encountered the Thin Man more than once.
I mean, when Mono fell he didn't like being looked at by the eyes and constructed a room so he can be on his own without any eyes to judge him. He learned that his face being exposed is bad since nobody liked to see his face, to the point of hating him. You find alot of chalk drawings full of eyes like the Bullies, one with the dunce cap and the other that got crushed by Six.
This is just my theory, in my opinion Mono is not trapped in the black tower for years, but he immediately grows quickly like six when he was in the black tower. And if we remember the end of the scene credits in DLC Little Nightmares 1, entitled Residence, I think the appearance of the thin man at the end of the TV is a mono that has become thin man, knowing if the DLC timeline is only a few minutes or hours before the timeline little nightmares 1 started, which could mean that this incident must have been after the incident of Little Nightmares 2. And because of this I assumed that the mono that had become thin man would come back into action, I just don't know when, and I also hope a little if mono can still be saved. if we remember when six became a monster, we destroyed the music box and six returned to its original form, I thought that mono might still be able to return to its original form, but I don't know whether this happens or not, inj is just my weird theory. Sorry because my english is bad :') 🙏🏽
I like this theory!
My more detail concept. The pirates have broken shorts, old shirt and a headbands. The have short range pistol with little recoil and the shoot three times then they go to get more bullets and you go through a food table with drunk pirates and you have to sneak and in hind sight. The captain you see as you sneak in on his bedroom on the boat you sneak under the bed and he wakes up his face is dropping off and he wears a long red coat his and long hands. He has a white bushy beard and hair all over his face. His legs are bones. He walks around with a musket. Unlike the hunter he is fast and will easily catch you. Has you reach the upper deck you see people shackled working and pirates beating them cause the don't do the job fast enough if the see you the will chase you and take you to the captain In hope to not be a slave anymore
Bro mono don't deserves this much pain like getting hated,fear of being alone and getting betrayed and meeting his biggest fear and SPEND HIS REST OF HIS LIFE ON A CHAIR like would u live ur rest of ur life on a CHAIR like I feel really bad
Another theory mono put six in danger
Mono is useless to six when she get kidnapped and also let thin man out he opened the door
Then when mono was under the bed six reaches out for help but mono stays hidden mono betrayed six six got betrayed by the girl in the yellow rain coat they both betrayed her six is mad this is the last time she ever relies on anyone
Also my how to break the loop theory
If mono dies no thin man if no thin man no tower if no tower no little nightmares yes six hand the fate of the world in her hand
If six dies mono won’t get betrayed and won’t get stuck in the tower and if mono isn’t in the tower the tower will die a hitch make it little nightmares is over but the loop continues for ever
That’s my theory hope you like it
i thought six was hungry when the raincoat girl betrayed her, why was she on the floor anyway?
*casually losing brain cells*
I think you got it backwards six was under the bed mono was reaching out
Well i don't necessarily think the tower will completely disappear if it isn't a mono think again the only reason the tower was getting destroyed is because the music box was broken

I actually hate this kind of endings. In my worldview, everything should have at least particularly good ending, end even tho i like this game, i still will mostly hate it because of it's ending, it would be so awesome if at some point Six will not betray Mono, so he would not become the Thin Man, and then the loop will end, and the happy ending will triumph...

You can hear seagulls in the background before tv is turned on. He is looking for Six. 3:57 No, he replaced someone else. It was never Mono that took Six, it was someone else that became the thin man. The thin man existed before Mono became one. Mono became what he feared. The reason why Six doesn’t become the thin man because the thin man existed and that wasn’t her fear. She feared Mono. Every time you get to Six while she’s as a giant, you break down the door with an ax like the beginning of the game. 8:35 No, he doesn’t willing do so. He’s trapped in there so you’re not “willingly” staying there. He’s trapped and depressed. He feared being the thin man and he feared being alone. Remember he was trying to escape so you can’t say he was willing to stay there. He had no choice.
I had this thought. You said they wanted to escape but what if that is completely opposite of what they wanted? What if Mono and Six were not trying to escape?
The eye held him as close as he tried to hold onto other people......he would never be alone again. He didn't have to run from monsters anymore because he was one,
First off I love the creative juices flowing with this video 😎👍⭐
Second I just thought of this little theory:
The Tv's call the people towards it because mono wants people to become closer to him, the feeling of not being alone, smiling with a false reality of "they love me." With the heroic young man, never coming to terms with facing his true feelings.
After thinking on it, I think maybe we give Six too much credit for knowing Mono will become the thin man. I agree that his identity probably led to her betrayal but to me if the tower was crumbling and she left Mono behind, there would be no memories of her time with him which probably caused her pain. Part of me wonders if she had consciousness as monster Six and remembered that he took her source of comfort (music box) and simply wanted to get away from him.
The 6 stages of Mono.
1. Sadness
2: Sulking
3: Getting over it
4: Calm
5: Acceptance
6: *c’mere six*
I have my own theory as to why Six betrayed Mono.
She is afraid. (Not afraid of her hunger taking over because that happened after she betrayed him. Kinda like a karma sorta thing.) She is afraid of his powers and what could turn him into (in this case, The Thin Man). Before when Mono let Future Mono escape, at the time when he comes crashing back you can see Six trying to help him get up. Mono springs up which startled Six. Six gestures for him to quickly get up. Then, the hands appear on the tv. Six looks at the tv, and back at Mono. As soon as the arm comes out she realized that Mono made a mistake and hauls ass leaving him behind because (tbh it *is* his fault but it's an endless loop so I give mercy this time) he freed something dangerous.
Six gets captured by Thin Man and if I remember correctly, she becomes corrupted. (So it's basically not only Future Mono's fault for corrupting six but also Mono for freeing himself out of curiosity. Poor Mono.😞)
Time Skip! After Mono brings back to her senses, she looks at her music box that she used to adore so much. I feel like this scene builds up her hatred for Mono as you can see her slowly looking back at Mono however it's interrupted by the Eye Monster.
Time Skip again! When she grabs Mono's hand she looks at his face probably remembering looking up at the Thin Man when he took her (like down the hall and into the room of corruption or something). She saw the resemblance in their faces. Then it clicked. Finally, *she let go.*
Wait... that actually makes alot of sense. Like.. ALOT OF SENSE!
i dont think its a time loop my dude, feel like the game would hint at that concept a little more
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 🤨 Not a time loop? Either I'm on drugs or the Time Loops theory, that *many* and almost all LN 2 fans prooved to be true, *is bullshit.* (Scuza me for the language.)
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 I get where ya coming from but you can't take the Time Loop out of it. *And I do agree there is more than what meets the eye.*
@@LittleLad9 there's literally no visual proof of time travel at all and it doesn't fit the realm of Little Nightmares.
this is my theory but Thin Man isn't some person that Mono 'grows up' to be, he's distorted into Thin man, cuz Thin Man is an entity like ghost figure, a projection from the Tower, he's the only character in the entire franchise that doesn't leave a corpse when he dies, he's not a physical being and has no real thought process. in short, its a puppet, designed by the tower to take children away or anyone who resists the tower's signal (as its the mainplot point of the entire game, not time travel). what happens to Mono at the end is pretty terrible, i think he dies, his soul is sorta imprisoned in the tower to and twisted into its image, more of a continuation of Thin Man then a 'reloop'
Little Nightmares thrives on visual cues in story telling, until I actually SEE time-travelling as clearly as gnome/kid shadows or Mono going through TVs, its hard to believe, there's too much 'off screen' ideas that fits more into perspective then fact
Tower is clearly the one that creates it all, thats the real villain
Maybe when looking into monos eyes at the end, it reminded her of the thin mans eyes. so maybe it *then* reminded her of when the thin man captured her. so since it *reminded* her of the thin man she thought that mono was bad and was *bad* just like the thin man.
*but i do not think this theory is 100% true.* just like every other theory as they are not 100% certain.
I got to admit tho the thin man does look very stylish in that hat he’s wearing
Maybe Mono has just dream with Six droping him down
Idk
That's mean.. WE NEVER SAW THE REAL ENDING YET!?
(typing this before i fully finished the vid so sorry if you said this already) i think mono had to be possessed by the eye to sit in the chair for that long. first off why is there a chair in the middle of the eye gunk? it led him to that and he stayed for a long time. the way mono is described i'd think he'd at least make some attempt to escape. he was depressed being betrayed by six but i don't think it would last to the point where he just stayed there. then again he'd probably been tired of running and hiding and risking his life in the pale city, and for all that to lead to such a betrayal. six and mono holding hands in the game showed a bond, so i can understand how that would hurt him so much. she was probably his longest standing friend because so many kids were being snatched up. and him knowing the fate that kids endured i could see why he would sit alone and let himself grow old, he at least had some power then. i just finished watching the 2nd game playthrough and i'm loving all the theories.
Perhaps Mono doomed himself when he destroyed the "thin man". Maybe, if he had not destroyed him, Mono and Six could have escaped this world together and started new lives elsewhere.
UA-cam stop give me double ads! I don't wanna buy toothpaste!! "
maybe the Thin Man or the Future/Glitch Mono tried to save the present Mono from Six so that he will not become the Thin Man himself
I love the creative directors insistence on being cryptic lol
Interviewer: *Little Nightmares has such a foreboding world rich with possibilities in terms of story development. However there are many players left puzzled by the games shocking ending. In your own words, what is the context and what does this mean for the future of these characters?*
David Mervik: *...yes*
10:08 hmm 30 years or so? i must say, I dont think he actually literally aged. the changes evolution u see probably didn't took years to happen. i think the slimy eyed monster implanted in him change him into monster. thin man was mono version. just like six that was big with dislocated arm. my interpretation based on that strange high tall proportion and no food around for mono. but that's just my opinion tho for this open ending game. no big deal
why I think he has the bag over his face
first, there are drawings in all kid rooms that depict the thin man and the single tower even tho not near a working TV.
Theory; when the world's adults (monsters) were kids they all had dreams/nightmares about the Thin Man embedded in their heads. Mono probably lived in the forest alone with a bag over his head because he probably walked around without it and was immediately attacked by anyone who saw his face.
so that's also why Six drops Mono because it's the first time she sees him without Mono's bag.
two things that support this
1) first meeting Six she drew the single tower on the wall implying she already knows its importance.
2) she stopped to grab mono at the and was fully committed to saving him until she got to see Mono's face for the first time then she hesitated and dropped him.
Obviously Mono is not the Hero, he is the protagonist, but not the Hero. The Hero is the Teacher.
Why the teacher
Well the doctor is kinda a hero he helps his patients we need to give this man a medal
@@zapzap9610 we must support the frontline workers
Basically because he was betrayed by the person he thought was his friend but it turns out Six was only using Mono like a pawn and once she didn't need him anymore she betrayed him
Pretty much. Six is a survivor.
No I've pretty much debunked the theory where Six was using Mono
@@rdknijjar455 How
It’s literally an attempted murder how do u not realise that
@@zapzap9610 Well there was a reason why she did that
I mean mono is alone all his life six betrayed him which turn his mind evil and six was always selfish in the maw she didn’t even free the other kids who got trapped but mono freed her and the girl in the yellow rain coat helped her too six cares about her self that’s my theory
Yea i think your some what right
That’s not a theory. It’s more of an observation, as almost everyone knows of this.
That's not a theory, that's a fact
@@ivon1671 opp
How was she supposed to free the kids in the Maw? Also, I don't think Six is just a selfish evil character, I think there's more
Mono gave up and slumped into the chair.....he ran away from alot of things, the hunter, the teacher, the crackhead kids, the mannequins, the doctor, and even the thin man.....he went through so much effort to save six. They were really close to escaping! All six needed to do was lift him up, so close to freedom.
He gave up because we went through all that and still remains in the TV realm.....
An example can be when you write a paragraph for school and do all the required work.....and still get a C 🤣😂🤣
One thing I find extremely odd is why the thin man in the concept art has one version that greatly resembles the Fairy/ Ferry Man. Is there a possibility that the Thin Man is actually the Fairy/ Ferry Man in disguise and that's the real reason Six drops him at the end of the game? Because she has mixed feelings about him in the comics? It might not be anything, but it's something I thought was kind of interesting. Keep up the awesome work GamerSault!
Y'all got nice theories while im sitting here reading them in my online class
A theory of mine is, that the Thin man is a vessel for the tower... And that the tower sees Mono as a new, much stronger vessel. There is a detail that when Mono teleports for the first time, you can see an eye in a fleshy wall for a brief moment... The same thing you can see in the tower at the end, so maybe his powers are connected to the tower?
I also believe that it is the tower who destroys the thin man, not Mono... When I recall correctly is the thin man looking up to the tower before disappearing, as if to look in shock at his "master" now betraying and destroying him... And the tower is then pretty much welcoming Mono, opening the door for him to enter.
Also, you can see Mono being in pain when the eyes get closer to him while he's on the chair, probably torturing him mentally, only to then disappear.... Maybe he accepted his fate at that point of the tower took over...
My theory about this is that he there is literally nothing else he can do. When the chair is in the corridor of flesh, there's no where else for him to go, (I looked), and the chair is the only thing not made of flesh and eyes, which he probably wanted to stop touching because gross and scary. Then, when the room turns into an actual room, there's no windows, cracks in the wall, way to climb up the walls (not that it matters as there's a ceiling as well), and only 1 door, except the door has no handle from the inside.
I believe that he can sort of "project" a part of himself out of the room (you can see him going after that one kid in the second comic and he can't do that if he can't get out in some way) but he's still physically stuck there. Like his conscience may not be there, but he's still bound there, you know. He can still physically interact with objects and people when he does that. So, using that method, he can access the entire rest of the tower... except the hall that leads to the door he's trapped behind. Any time he tries to go down that corridor to free himself, he glitches out and is sucked back into his actual body.
Also, he probably wasn't just sitting there for all those years, he probably got up to stretch or walk around every once on a while. We just see little snap shots over the years he was there, little flashes, who knows what he could've been doing during the times in-between each snap shot
Its interesting i should watch the end again but i felt mono wanted to be drop his whole goal was to protect 6 so when he their hanging he knew the only way 6 will be free if she droped him.i thought he had a look of "its okay ill be fine" so i never saw it being 6 betraying mono.
Then why did future mono capture six
actually, i believe you can find the thin man's fedora hat around the map, cause i remember watching a gameplay of someone finding the hat of the thin man somewhere
Thinman has a nightmare, Six is trapped in his nightmare or she is not real, it is a memory of Thinman's past (As the comic seems to suggest), this is why Six is hungry for the essence of the living. Mono is Thinman's inner child, who tries to repair the mistakes of his own past, but he cannot change his past because it has already passed.
Six puts on the raincoat and immediately discovers that he has to take Mono to the tower (the raincoat is the same as Mono's mask and the origin of the shadow), because Six discovers that it is not real and if she wants to survive, she has to escape the nightmare.
The reason that she has not been killed by the Hunter is because she is set to serve as a trap and that is why she becomes a monster in the tower and the Lady is not able to feel her presence as she does with Seven .
Thinman is just a shell of the man who hung himself in the Maw, Mono is not a glitch, it is the rebellious idea, the remorse of a person who has not accepted what he has become.
Doesn’t he become the thin man for a plot twist? Worked really hard on that theory
lemao BIG BREINZ
Reminds me of little kids say” they can’t wait to grow up and be an adult!!” Then adults be like, “ Yeah.... I wish I could go back “ lmao
Cut and dry case to me . Mono wears the bag to hide who he is to escape . He knows his escape is through six so he wears it so she doesn’t know who he is . Six gets captured by thin man she knows who he is cause the time spent were she was could be infinite . She at the end when they are running sees mono for the first time realizes he is thin man and out of either fear or knowing what he will become drops him maybe thinking of breaking the circle killing him or know if he is free something terrible could happen so she has to keep the cycle of him trying to break out . I know a guy ;)
The thin man is trying to protect them from the signal tower
Ding ding ding!
I have an unswered question. How does Mono have powers?
One thing that wouldn’t make sense is what happens after the thin man “dies” because the pale city would collapse because mono would become the past thin man to run it in the past but in the future it would be destroyed so I think that the eye protected mono/thin man by teleporting him to safety because when thin man died it looked like he just flaked away
I find it funny that many games get called ''the Dark Souls of-'' + genre because of things like difficulty and certain in-game mechanics... but Little Nightmares is very Dark Souls-esque in its way of story-telling and basically letting fans go ham on theories because of the expertly crafted world, yet very little confirmation or literal storytelling. Also, timelines, nightmares, almost lovecraftian monstrosities influencing sanity... LN2 reminded me of Bloodborne for some reason. And I appreciate games that make me want to go on to reddit and youtube to discuss the story - it's basically a *huge* compliment to the artists that created these worlds, who made them this damn interesting.
The signal tower is where time start's to stop when a younger mono freed the thin man there is clock that you can hear so time is stopped in the whole city exept the room where thin man is when you get to the inside the signal tower time space and riality is distorted/damaged by the eye
The eye might be the one make it happen tge time is stopped by the eye in the tower the eye distroyed the time space and riality of the signal tower then what the eye do is that he/she isolate the people in a room just like mono if six is caught by thin man/mono the eye isolate six to became it's own nightmare and thwn give the thing's that they have not seen or seen before like the toy's in the hospital so isolate and then put in a room then stay or run out the tower that is my theory
*trying to comprehend what I just read*
The Thin Man wasn't trapped or Mono. He simply traveled through The Pale City and The Woods which is confirmed by the glitched remains and Episode 2 of the Digital Comics. The Eye Creature was created by Mono's actions has shown in concept art.
@@Vanerov yeah that always confused me
excuse my bad english
9:05 That gave me another theory's idea fr why others hate Mono.
Let's suppose that Mono/Thin Man wants to shut down/destroy the Signal Tower.
What would happen?
But first, we must answer this question about our world: why do we watch TV/series/movies, play games, have hobbies. To distract us, escape our daily life. And it's okay. But if we do that to avoid facing our problem, that where it becomes a problem.
The world we leave in ...is not doing so well, I don't talk about the pandemic. It's naive to believe that we can continue like this. (the economy is broken, social tension has never been so high, the environment is getting destroyed day by day, and all sorts of other problems). Why we do nothing? : it's comfortable to avoid reality than taking action. It's easier to let things as they are.
So lest establish few things about the character:
The hunter. : Honestly, I don't understand what he could represent. feel free to feel that hold for me.
The teacher: learns to the children how the world work and those who disagree or do not conform are seen has to threat. Don't question the way things work and conform.
The patient wants to forget about their ''imperfection''. Obsession with appearance,
The Doc wants to keep alive his patients, even if that makes them suffer. Refusal of reality that is death
The viewer is the interesting
The Viewers live life through the screen and cannot imagine a world without it. All those wonderful colors, sounds, and shapes dancing before their eyes, mesmerizing them, pacifying them, fattening them up. The Transmission gives them all they need and demands only one thing in return
mesmerizing: distract them
pacifying: make them conform or accept reality
Fattening them up: encourage laziness, mostly intellectual laziness.
The thing the Transmission asks is simple: keep ignoring the problems
So! Back to Mono!
what would happen if he succeeds in shouting down the Transmission?
The habitants will be forced to face reality and its problems.
Reameber this phrase in Wall-e?
''Rather than try and fix that problem, it'll be just easier for everyone to remain in space.''
Just replace ''remain in space'' by '' submit to the Transmission''
just look at this scene fully from this point: ua-cam.com/video/U2y7W4nGXYs/v-deo.html
That why they hate him. He trying to put an end to their illusions that prevent them to face and fix the problem.
When Mono finds Six in her deform form, she is under the control of the music box, comforting her, making her forget her reality. When mono started to destroyer her music box she gets super angry, because he destroying the thing that she is willingly blinding herself whit.
The irony is that Mono is wearing a paper bag to forget his reality. And when he gets trap in the tower, he covers his eyes.
bonus: Just like Six was a threat to the Maw, Monoi is a threat to the Transmission. It wants to trap him because he is a threat to its control over the city. A bit like when a whistle-blower is put to jail for being ''too loud''. And even use him to reaffirms its controls and powers over the habitant by displaying Mono as a trouble maker. Maybe that even why Six drop him at the end, she got trick by the Transmission too.
My theory, when 6 gets captured by the thin man, the thin man tells 6 everything about the thin man being mono, along with that she gets really angry and frustrated at mono. So when 6 has to pull mono up she doesn't, because she knows everything. When mono becomes the thin man he goes for 6 because now he hates her.
Actually seeing both of their faces finally convinced me of this theory
To be honest the tower was feeding him to be more revengeful and the blob did not take over anything he used some of his power to get rid of it but the tower is the problem to all of it
The ending is just so sad to see I just feel bad for mono
i think mono is greedy did not want anyone to know but he only prefers six and also six had lost her soul its why she dropped mono because her soulless body thought mono was gonna constantly be attached and would not let her leave his world. mono at the end hates the eyes watching him like a crowd of people trying to show mono their twisted worlds so mono tries to be not like them so he creates his own world though he becomes twisted just like his enemy because he was the enemy all along no one hates mono for becoming the thinman because mono created his own pale city he is there creator the thinman gets lonely and does not want to go outside of his world and when he was still mono he just did not really care what six did to him so he still looks for six the thinman took six's soul and dark six is actually six's soul and we do not see it at the end of little nightmares 1 while she eats the lady this is cause six's soul was in the lady the world planned for six to lose her soul so six would become twisted or die cause they thought a soulless six would make six weak and mindless but it messed up so it put six's soul in the lady
my theory is that this is a loop so the hanging man we see in ln 1 is the thin man and when the game ends mono becomes the thin man but then hangs himself for the loop to go on(repeating ln 1 and 2)because he knows that there is no happy ending nor a different one as the end shows six letting Mono fall. This also shows that the thin man knew this would happen so he tried to finish the loop quicker but couldn't since the loop is making Mono go on.
is it just me or this is more entertaining then the other thory channels?
@Exar kun The dark side cosmic entity can you name him?
@Exar kun The dark side cosmic entity Tericho or something
I think the reason thin man is so slow is because he sat for so long.
True!
Well here what I think, mabye mono is aware that he'll become the thin man, and for some odd reason maybe he thinks that sixth can help him get out of the cycle... As time goes on with mono and sixth's friendship mono starts thinking that their's hope that he won't end up meeting his doom or turning into the thin man. But when sixth saw what he was (potentially the thin man trying to harm them) she let go so she wouldn't have to fear anymore. But sixth fail to understand that he was trying to break the cycle but sixth couldn't or didn't want to see beyond that.. So mono accepts who he is and turns into the thin man (but doesn't enjoy it) so he wanted to change it since he never wanted to become this in the first place thus kidnapping sixth so mono could walk alone, since maybe he realizes that sixth was the problem and also an act of revenge...
It probably is just a character design but I mean “how did Mono get his hat?” There Hass to be an answer that doesn’t just amount to design… I mean the game Devs wouldn’t have given us a hat scavenger hunt if it was that simple right?
I really like your theories though, they make a lot of sense to me based on what I’ve seen from the games
This is so much of a theory but as a potential thematic resemblance. I think the Flesh (or the eye) is Azathoth from the Cthulhu mythos, or a least a powerful but unthinking being at the center of everything, particularly if you go with interpretation that Azathoth (or the flesh) is dreaming their world into existence and if the awaken the nightmare ends by destroying all existence in the process.
The Eye Creature was shown in concept art to be created from Mono's actions.
@@Vanerov how? i just remember seeing art of rooms with pools of flesh eyes and gruel pools
plus thats concept art so that's not the final game
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 How? Mono is shown creating the broadcasts which led to the residents having their essence pulled and then that eventually creating The Eye entity.
I think the signal tower origionally cought him anyway and the shift in time happened from another sourse not known
My theory is simple
Mono was the thin man after not the thin man before
