Once again, MatPat proving that the reason he “retired” was so he would have the free-time to be IN the FNaF projects rather than make theories on them. Can’t wait to see him in Secret of the Mimic!
My favorite explanation for why Mustard Man is yellow is that represents him trying to cover up who he truly is while he isn't in Freddy's, like he does with the yellow Spring Bonnie suit
it gets better when. you think that yellow is the opposite color to purple too! he’s desperately trying to hide by pretending to be the exact opposite of what really is.
Makes sense to me. He's purple when attacking children and animatronics in the dark, yellow when he's driving around and interacting with the mundane world around him.
In the FNAF movie, Abby angry at Aunt Jane goes to her room only to get lured away to go to Freddy’s by a three toed animatronic (Golden Freddy) All of this is happening while Aunt Jane in a gray shirt is watching TV and Mike is out on the Night Shift
He's leaving GTLIVE soon. We're really going to lose him for real. 😢 and he gave the channel to Ash his assistant or w.e. They completely suck. Worst choice ever.
It’s insane to me that Scott introduced Midnight Motorist in FNAF 6 was quiet about it for years and years and then finally for the anniversary he finally brings it back into relevance again….and it’s for a spinoff kart racer….classic Scott move right there
I think people still forget that FLAF is still just a demo, the full game isn't released and they aren't going to put in easter eggs and lore inside the demo
@@Lord_ChibiThey added a few like the car and of course Jr's but im talking like major lore drops, which you wouldn't put in a demo of the game yknow? Once it releases i expect there to be some more, most likely surrounding Jr's
I feel like William is Mustard not because he’s not corrupted yet, (because he’s purple in give cake to the children) but I think it’s because he’s not seen doing anything suspicious. Every time we’ve seen him purple, he’s doing something suspicious, like killing Charlie, killing the MCI, or dismantling the animatronics. Here, he’s just driving home. There’s no need for him to hide in the shadows because he’s doing something he does every day!
That is a good point. On the other hand the phrasing sounds funny to me, cuz saying "he's killing children. That's 'suspicious' isn't it?" Sounds like such a funny choice of words
@@PandoricaLostyet here he is still recording 😃 edit: DUDE I KNOW THAT HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS NOW REGARDLESS OF HIS RETIREMENT, ALL I WAS SAYING WAS THAT ITS FUNNY HOW HE SAID HE'D STOP LEADING THE THEORIEST CHANNELS AND EVERYONE TOOK IT AS HE'D BE LEAVING UA-cam ENTIRELY, BUT HERE HE IS STILL RECORDING VIDEOS! 😭 I KNOW WHAT THE PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS TALKING ABOUT, I DID NOT MISUNDERSTAND
@@funtimewithjuliaYeah but the thing is Mike responds to a question asking “do you have dreams” which implies that he’s confronted the twisted ones in his nightmares even though we know these are experiments so the only explanation to this paradox is that Mike is second hand receiving other people’s memories that be it Rory or crying child.
I REALLY like the idea of Golden Freddy and Cassidy buried together. It would also help explain why Cassidy is SO vengeful. The other kids can at least move around. But Cassidy is in a box, can't really move, only project. Nothing to do but stew in anger.
@@AveryHyena this was a demo. they reffered to it as a demo sure, its unfinished and unpolished but still a demo. also, where in the world did you get the idea that a demo is a full game demonstration, it literally is always a segment of a game, and if that game is yet to release then it is a segment of what is already finished
@@Sopsy_Hallow well demo is commonly used as a demonstration of a full game, for instance you could play a 30 min demo on the playstation store of minecraft but the game wasn't "unfinished" by any means. the term that would be put to better use for five laps would be "early access"
@@Contemptytdemos were never exclusively finished games. many game demos are earlier builds of a game. being able to play a released game in the store is just that, playing THE game in order to sell you on it. Whereas many game demos are limited by design (ex. they only offer a few levels, or they have a scenario exclusive to the demo). this is true for even companies like nintendo.
dawko pointing out that you never actually see a physical golden Freddy is something that completely went right over my head. The golden Freddy suit being burried w Cassidy’s body inside it, is such a cool and interesting lil theory. It would also explain why golden Freddy looks so dirty and broken. We never find out what happened to the suit.
JRs, aka “Juniors” is generally a word for a kid or just someone less experienced, which is a bad name idea for a bar. (unrelated, but the green person outside JRs is green, like Clara’s shirt in TIATR.)
@@VillainVac It doesn't have to mean kid/less experienecd, people also use "Junior" for a son with the same name as their father. There are def bars IRL named Junior's. It's a nickname.
@@VillainVac Its named after the "Jr." in the family, Jr. is a family title, so its a family owned business that was probably passed down in the family. Something that would be a town staple of the location the Afton's live is a hole-in-the-wall bar/tavern. He is weaving through traffic past the speeding limit during the minigame, going to a pile of dirt which could be a makeshift grave or solitude place of grieving, he isn't allowed back in to the location & he should know the reason why (he was kicked out), there is a security guard at the door which is unusual unless he is a bouncer, it has neon signage, its open in the middle of the night, he comes back home and yells at his kid, the person watching television asks him to be easy on him (likely smelling the booze on his breath, and promises revenge against his child in a drunken rage. Its definitely a bar.
But why would he not be allowed into a random bar? And why would there even be a one off never mentioned again or ever bar??? Does not make sense to me 😕
LOVE to see Dawko and Matpat hanging out, they're so funny together. The impression at the beginning was hilariously spot on. And despite seeing it before, I can't get over how adorably animated FNAF Unsolved intro is!
6:32 The name of the song used in midnight motorist is called "240 Bits Per Mile", and what makes this name even better is the fact that the song's tempo is 240 BMP!
Dude, Matpat being someone who listened to the music from Midnight Motorist on loop while he was writing scripts for videos makes me feel so seen. 😭😌 7:02
11:54 I think it definitely was a contrast design detail decision, so the purple wouldn't clash with the background of the minigame, so they landed on that orangeish, goldish color to still be representative of Springtrap. But for a more lore-centric reason, we know that from a design standpoint, William Afton has always been depicted as purple because he was the 'man in the shadows'. But in Midnight Motorist he's "out of shadow" when going home so he's just depicted as his normal everyday self, or at least the image he put on to portray to everyone else. Just my two cents... Love you guys!🫰
The rubix cube is a perfect allegory to describe figuring out the FNAF lore. That's because there IS a definitive answer, it's just so hard to get to without changing anything up.
I was thinking that the purple vs yellow perhaps represented William’s purple security outfit while the yellow is what he usually appears as in civilian clothing. It also makes sense in terms of appearances - outside of Freddy’s, he’s yellow, but when he’s on the job, he reveals the purple.
CC sees a life-sized version of psychic friend fredbear , follows him to Freddy’s , and sees a dead Charlie in the alley with the puppet collapsed on her and that’s why he’s afraid ? That’s how Charlie is able to be the last , no ? 31:00
Or maybe it was golden Freddy and this was one of the ways Cassidy was trying to get back at afton. Exposing his murder to his kid. The footprints would imply that it’s something physical and real outside the window not just something the cc is seeing. Pffb is something afton used to keep an eye on the cc. If Charlie’s murder really is one of the last ones, and Cassidy’s is before, it would make sense that Cassidy would appear outside, luring away the child of their murderer.
@@fewerpuppet6423 yeah that’s what I mean , it’s Cassidy as Golden Freddy but to CC it’s just a lifesized version of pffb . Idk I feel like that’s the way it makes sense to have Charlie as the last . But then that also leaves the question , why is Afton doing all this killing if not to ‘put CC back together’ ? 🤔
I really liked ID’s fantasy’s interpretation that the agony from Charley’s murder created one of the shadow animatronic and it brought the crying child or Dave (awesome video hyperdroid) to the scene of the crime where he saw his friend dead under the puppet. That feels like an incredibly satisfying explanation for his trauma.
What puzzles me about the Charlie being killed after the MCI kids is this: How come the Puppet allowed them to possess the animatronics as shown in Give Gifts, Give Life?
Exactly what I thought! It doesn't really make sense for Charlie to be the last if she 'gives gifts, gives life" to the other children. I mean, unless it was actually the Puppet itself doing that pre-Charlie's death, I guess
There’s two separate pieces of FNAF media that directly mention chica luring someone from their home, one specific mention breaking a window. Again this series really gives you a lot of hints, but like they’re scattered out so far and wide it’s hard to keep track
In the Fazbear Frights story, Chica actually brings the spirit of Susie to her home so she can say goodbye to her sister and retrieve a beloved childhood doll(Unfinished business). Chica even attempts to attack Susie's sister who was bringing Susie the doll after transforming into a Twisted/Nightmare form ONLY for Susie to cry out causing Chica to stop and return to normal. Once Susie has her doll she gives her sister a goodbye hug which they both needed and she and Chica walk off into the night, Where Susie has happiest day occur and her soul rests. It's a beautiful and sad story.
28:03 if the crying child used to hang out with their ghost friends possessing the animatronics, maybe he accidentally saw one of the hidden bodies in the suits during their playtime?
I don’t usually give theories but something that came to me is that jrs is in fact a bar. He gets kicked out, drunk out of his mind and angry at the world he kills Emily.(bc this is the same day crying child got bit or days later) he comes back to his house and the room that is locked is the older brother bully’s room. It’s clear he had a “rough day” bc of what he witnessed. And William is taking out his anger on him bc he blames him for the incident. Or maybe it wasn’t the same night as the bite and later. And the bully escaping his room could be him visiting his little brother. Edit: when I say Emily I mean Henry’s daughter. Charlie
@@funtimewithjulia I believe William just puts the blame on him anyway out of drunken rage or just in general. And maybe that’s what the sister location cutscenes refer to with the vampire. He is rejecting Michael bc he blames him for the incident.
14:03 the only way I can make sense of it, is that, he’s not working in the shadows on location… being purple was because he was in the shadows…also the hard truth that Scott was writing under the games being nightmares/dreams. So that’s how the crying child saw it, and manifested into his dreams.
I think this was originally the case, and then it was retconned into Michael being tormented by his father for remnant experimentation in an attempt to bring his son back whilst punishing the eldest who caused such loss. Illusion discs would explain the hallucinations as Afton's doing, rather than the manifestations of a comatose trauma victim. Also, the opposite of purple on the color wheel is yellow/gold, when he is in his private life he is shadowed, purple, in his public / familial life he is luminous, orange.
@@blarghwagurder yeah i remember making that purple/yellow connection awhile back, and really thought mustard man was Henry. but that’s a better interpretation, being Afton, everyone seeing the opposite side of him. I feel like into the pit has some sort of same meaning…like the kid is the only one who sees something wrong with his dad. idk like a monster within…almost works as a metaphor for alcoholism in a way too. I’m also in the camp of “the box” being a toy box. makes sense seeing how FNAF 2 literally had “toy” animatronics. The beak-less Chica toy from the mini game. I’m betting those were all his toys. but yes, retcon changed everything. I struggle with trying to figure out, is there a full cohesive story, where everything actually makes sense and lines up… or are there true continuity errors in the writing, caused by clashing ideas and oversight.
@@kdub175 Mattpat said he was shown Scott's "lore" notepad on his desktop, so there is a cohesive story, but it is so convoluted Scott absolutely has flubbed some elements (an example is how horrible he is with numbers, which makes the timeline even harder to solve). In FNAF1, the killer was convicted & apprehended-- this would have stained William's record and stopped him from appearing in the FNAF1 location to dismantle the animatronics. This was retconned by bringing in Henry from the books, which is why he was absent for the entirety of the series up until its finale.
If we go by the order of killings as seen in Help Wanted 2's gravestones, supported by Susie/Chica "being the first" in Ultimate Custom night, then Charlie/Puppet is killed after Cassidy/Golden Freddy. Therefore, if this is "Later that night", supported by the same car and rain, then the only Afton children we know to be alive and well at that point is Michael, and it makes sense for him the target of his fathers abuse, and old enough to be trusted to come back on his own. As for why Golden Freddy/Fredbear would appear outside his window that night, I believe it could be due to Charlies influence. We are always lead to believe Charlie retains much more of her awareness and memories than the other ghosts. The books explain this by you having to find your corpse to kind of realise you are dead and collect your scattered mind. The "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame shows the Puppet putting the children into the original four animatronics. I believe this cannot be literal, as the police was looking into the Missing Childrens-case before Charlie was killed, and thus the bodies were already hidden. So William stuffed the kids. Instead, I think the minigame wants to illustrate that Charlie somewhat recollects the wandering ghosts of the children and show them the hiding places of their bodies; one in each animatronic. One of the newer Tales of the Pizzaplex books reveals that a spirit wanders with fragmented memories in places they knew until they find their body and snap out of it. This is why four of the kids are proper ghosts now. But there is a fifth child, and we can't find their mask before we get jumpscared Golden Freddy. This shows the two are connected, but Charlie can't connect the spirit to the animatronic properly, cause the body wasn't in the expected hiding spot; inside Golden Freddy. If you get the most difficult ending in Ultimate Custom Night, you get Golden Freddy twitching in the darkness like William/Springtrap does when he gets springtrapped in the games and movie. If you subscribe to Golden Freddy being the final kill of the MCI and The Crying Child/Cassidy is in Golden Freddy, why would William/Purple Guy/Mustard Man kill his own kid? Cause the animatronics were getting spooky, and he was trying to put Cassidy back together. He was bitten in the head, after all, at least resulting in brain-damage. If The Big Bite/Bite of '83 and Bite of '87 both resulted in the loss of the frontal lobe, we know both victims survived the immediate bite. The victim of the Bite of '87 still lives during Ralph's/Phone Guys' last week at Freddy's, which I think the community has decided is in 1993, but I don't really know why. So if Cassidy lives for the two years until the MCI in 1995, William could springtrap Cassidy in an attempt to give him the same kind of undeath William himself later claimed as Springtrap. Because William now has himself a missing child, the police arrest Henry, believing him to be the one in the "yellow mascot costume" luring the kids. This would explain why he was abscent until Freddy Fazbear's Pizzería Simulator; he was in prison. But Midnight Motorist has the grave I believe holds the remains of Cassidy (in a box?). At least there is a grave of lore significance that Mustard Man/William Afton has access to on his way home. So Charlie can't show Cassidy's wandering spirit his body, he can't take proper poltergeist control of the metal his soul soaked into as he was springtrapped by his own father. Though if he was without a frontal lobe, he wouldn't have had much conscious thought, so that's something. So Charlies spirit wanders, having been attempted awoken by Charlie that night, to the places he knows. His house. Outside his brother's room. Golden Freddy, in the Movie, can appear as a physical entity (it weights down the taxi) and dissappear into nothing, so if game Golden Freddy can do the same, maybe a surge of emotion seeing his brother inside made him materialise. So Michael saw Golden Freddy/Fredbear outside, and approached. In FNAF1, when Golden Freddy is near Mike Schmidt/Michael Afton, he hallucinates "it's me". Michael would know something weird is going on at Freddy's (MCI), he associates Golden Freddy/Fredbear with Cassidy (Cassidy was bitten when the springlocksuit was in animatronic mode), he sees "it's me", and realises it's his brother. So he runs out to see his brother, who has been a vegetable for the last two years, at his hands. And so Michael would go to "that place again", which I believe is the lore-significant grave in walking distance from the house. Maybe it is to show Cassidy his corpse? So Midnight Motorist shows William Afton driving home in the rain after killing Henry's unprotected daughter Charlie in a drunken rage because his springlock plan to put his son back together didn't work. He is already drunk, which is why is not allowed into the bar Jr.'s. When he returns home, his wife watches TV, as Michael has escaped out his window to go to Cassidy's grave with Golden Freddy.
Speaking of good fnaf banger songs, "Caught in a loop" (or Princess Quest music) is SO good (Also, could the yellow not represent springbonnie? We love to say we have never seen WIlliam in yellow, but we forget that one of his most iconic things is the suit he did the murders in. I don' t think that William is in the suit obviously, but I think it could be a good parallel)
Thing is, "Give Gifts Give Life" really complicates the death order because Golden Freddy is one of the kids given "life" in it. Unless that minigame doesn't mean what we think it does, but what else could it mean? Perhaps the children's spirits were already restless and manifesting and Charlie in the minigame simply gave them full control of the suits, but it didn't work on Golden Freddy because he was missing an endo.
I always interpreted William in MM being yellow being a story told outside the perspective of a child. I always took the 4 core games as coming from the perspective of the crying child.
I prefer to think the first 6 games took the perspective of Micheal, but... The minigame tho i think its smth like a child (MCI victim, CC, or Charlie) trying to inform Micheal what actually happen. We could see it how it took somekind of retro graphics, childish drawing, and somewhat weird, since kid really has a unique way of looking at things.
@@justhuman8173 I like this! Perhaps this is Crying Child communicating to Michael what their father had done and that’s what pushed him to go to all these locations in 1-6
This has been on my mind, but I always thought that William didn’t have his purple security vest or clothing and maybe he threw jacket or vest out because it might’ve had blood stains and he had like a extra pair of clothes in his car, so he wouldn’t come home (or go to a bar) with a bunch of blood stains. Just a theory
If the missing child in midnight motorist is the crying child, and we think the animatronic was able to just manifest outside the window. I think the window being broken from the inside could make sense if animatronic first manifested inside his room, and he broke out of the window out of fear, trying to get away.
One thing that has always stunned me is that Michael and Bonnie mask kid who shoved crying child in Fred bear had fnaf one masks on before 83 which doesn’t make sense because the reason that Afton started killing was because his son died but his son hadn’t died yet Also in instance when Circus baby counts the children leading up to Elizabeth’s death, she went “5, 4, 3, then 2, then 1.” What if counting backwards like we’ve seen a few characters do? What if that applies here? When it comes to Help Wanted 2, it would make sense to count that way because characters have done it before and because Charlie would be listed first. There have been many implications that Charlie and Elizabeth go hand in hand as you see in Circus Baby’s blueprints in fnaf sl. 28:04 I do remember seeing a clip of crying child locked in the closet with a suit that had a child in it.
You gotta realize how much less responsibility he has now. He was doing the job of what is now split between 5 people. And when you do youtube for as long as he has the friends you make are people that also make videos. So, spending time with the friends he has made usually means being in others' videos. And now all he has to really do is show up. No script writing, no editing, etc. Matt is a person who will never truly "retire," but in his definition, he's not working he's doing everything he literally couldn't do when managing/owning a whole company
So I know that the games and the books don't line up 1 for 1, but I just thought of something. The kid breaking out of his room in midnight motorist and leaving from the window reminds me of Oswald trying to escape his room/house when Spring Bonnie takes over as his father in "Into the Pit" video game/book story. specifically when Oswald escapes out his window, even though he doesn't break the window. I feel the animatronic foot prints in Midnight Motorist also has a correlation assuming that Spring Bonnie/dad follows Oswald back to the pizzeria. I'm not saying that they are 1 for 1 or anything like that, I just wanted to point out the similarities that came to mind after watching your video. :)
William Afton can't be in 2 places at once in that situation. He's at his house as himself. The animatronic footprints are already there when he gets there. He didn't go there as spring bonnie.
@@UnfazedPhoenix Right, sorry about that, I should have been more specific. I never said that William was in 2 places at the same time; I was just merely making an observation that the situation in "Midnight Motorist" and the one from "Into The Pit" have very similar circumstances. I was merely trying to convey that just maybe, the child from Midnight Motorist broke out of his own house like Oswald did to escape and then be followed by an animatronic. I wasn't trying to specify about if he was following something or if something was following him because I really don't know. It could be Golden Freddy, which would make it similar to the FNAF Movie. I don't know it was just a thought at the time.
them talking about the midnight motorist music and fnaf music in general makes me feel seen as someone that literally only listens to gracefully into the abyss from the princess quest 4 game in HW2 on repeat
You know, I kinda want to do a FNAF fan game where both Dawko and Mat Pat both steal a Pizza Oven from Freddy's and are now attempting to steal a Ice cream machine form where you work, and add a joke that if they succeed, they should go steal the soda fountain from the convenience store from down the street and throw a party!!
For the footprints I personally like ID Fantasy’s theory that Charlie’s death also created Shadow Bonnie and it was Shadow Bonnie leading CC to Charlie and the Puppets bodies.
I watched ozone’s theory on midnight night motorist and I honestly think he solved it. He does address the issues with it in the end since Five Laps at Freddy’s has come out. But overall it is a really solid theory that explains a lot. Especially if Into the Pit is making stitch line or the stitch wraith canon to the games.
i just like the other theory on where the car is a rental. and william just sent it to the other person. and he probably just lured the kid out there (william) and basically the highschool chica cutscene in ucn (the puppet date) she said "ill knock on her door. if he doesnt answer she will go find a window"
Not sure if it’s mentioned but purple and yellow are complementary colours (i.e., opposite colours)… which may support mustard man being William Afton before “going bad” or whatever. Or could mean something else 😂
That's bit about golden freddy is really interesting.. In fnaf3 there's a line saying 'Do not wear the suits, there was a multiple springlock failure in one of the suits' Knowing Fazbear Ent.. could the body be found inside and that's the reason why it never does an appearence again? Like they got rid of it to hide the evidence.
i just started watching this but. in the intro i just realized that the pattern on the top part of the fnaf 4 walls. is the same pattern as that one in the trailer for secret of the mimic
Um...have you experienced any form of societal interaction? People get kicked out/banned from bars for causing public disturbances, fighting, getting too drunk & sloppy, displaying creepy or predatory behavior etc. There are 100 reasons or more people get banned from bars.
@UnfazedPhoenix I am aware, but why would he go knowing he's banned? That's what I mean. If he had the purpose of drowning his sorrows, he easily could have went to a different bar or bought alcohol from the store to take home.
I really like the idea of the Golden Freddy suit being buried with Cassidy inside, but I still want to present an idea I had for how Cassidy could possess him while being buried separately from the suit. Throughout the franchise, a consistent method of characters being killed is by being forced inside one of the animatronics. William even tries to kill one of the characters in the first novel by forcing the person to wear a spare animatronic suit. I think it would be reasonable to assume that Afton's preferred method of killing is to repurpose the animatronics as death traps, similar to the Freddy torture mask in the movie. In this context, it is easy to see how Cassidy could possess Golden Freddy while being outside the suit. Afton, in this context, would use Golden Freddy as a weapon then hide Cassidy elsewhere so no employee trying to wear the costume would unknowingly discover Afton's secret.
I believe, as for who the animatronic was outside, it was baby, and she was trying to visit her home and play with crying child again. I believe this has happened several times, because williams attitude towards it is making it seem that way. I think after this time of it happening he realized he needs to keep crying child safe from the funtimes that crying child is presumably visiting and playing near while hes with baby, so william tells michael to try and scare him with the mask, and he eventually develops the way to give crying child nightmares to get crying child to not want to go with baby anymore so he doesnt get grabbed by any of the funtimes. this then leads into fnaf 4 where he gets bitten and all that.
This may help explain what the crying child saw. What if the flash backs in FNAF4 are after the missing child incident, we even see "hair" in a Freddy (?) suit. What if they were killed, crying child is lured to the restaurant. Will in his rage reveals the truth, terrifying the child as he's seen all his friends on the suits. Then on his birthday, the one you shouldn't have killed as Golden kills CC so they can be together and as an fu to will. Also makes "the one you shouldn't have killed" also because GF was the one to kill Dave after being his friend for so long
If the child that escaped is the crying child, and the one on the couch is Michael, why is he telling Mustard Man to take it easy on CC since they've had a rough day? If CC did have a rough day it would be because it was Michael, and I don't really remember Purple Guy being mean to CC except for like, the hallucinations and stuff Either way great video, love this series so much! Keep the theories coming
I'm really loving this series. There are a lot of things that are starting to feel unsolvable and a lot of things that feel solved except for a few details that are normally not considered. I have the impression that nowadays fnaf lore feels solved and unsolved at the same time and this series is perfect for summarising and reflecting on the "holes" that we still have in the timeline
Could dawkos theory on golden freddy being buried also factor towards why golden is glitchy , because the suit isn't actually at any of the pizzerias , like because the suit isn't at the scene of the murder it means Cassidy isn't able to function as well of the others while possessing the suit
What if yellow is William's og color but the terrified kids remember him as a horrible evil purple? Bc in all Minigames where he's purple(all of them lol) we also have a) a terrified child(poor CC) b) one of his victims possessing a robot So purple is the color they remember him as due to the trauma he inflicted on them

My favorite explanation for why Mustard Man is yellow is that represents him trying to cover up who he truly is while he isn't in Freddy's, like he does with the yellow Spring Bonnie suit
I was going to make this comment. It just makes the most sense.
Makes sense 👍
it gets better when. you think that yellow is the opposite color to purple too! he’s desperately trying to hide by pretending to be the exact opposite of what really is.
Makes sense to me. He's purple when attacking children and animatronics in the dark, yellow when he's driving around and interacting with the mundane world around him.

Not to be rude, but its quiet*
Maybe when the game releases fully, they'll put something there
I think people still forget that FLAF is still just a demo, the full game isn't released and they aren't going to put in easter eggs and lore inside the demo
@@KrystalTide they bundled william afton with the midnight motorist car... so maybe they did?
@@Lord_ChibiThey added a few like the car and of course Jr's but im talking like major lore drops, which you wouldn't put in a demo of the game yknow?
Once it releases i expect there to be some more, most likely surrounding Jr's
I feel like William is Mustard not because he’s not corrupted yet, (because he’s purple in give cake to the children) but I think it’s because he’s not seen doing anything suspicious. Every time we’ve seen him purple, he’s doing something suspicious, like killing Charlie, killing the MCI, or dismantling the animatronics. Here, he’s just driving home. There’s no need for him to hide in the shadows because he’s doing something he does every day!
I agree
Canonically (I think), Midnight Motorist is on the same night as Charlie's death.
That is a good point. On the other hand the phrasing sounds funny to me, cuz saying "he's killing children. That's 'suspicious' isn't it?" Sounds like such a funny choice of words
Yellow / yellow-orange is the opposite of violet / blue-violet on the color wheel. That is my theory why.
So why he is purple in fnaf 4 when he is dressing the employee in the backstage? that sounds like something he does everyday

@@funtimewithjuliaYeah but the thing is Mike responds to a question asking “do you have dreams” which implies that he’s confronted the twisted ones in his nightmares even though we know these are experiments so the only explanation to this paradox is that Mike is second hand receiving other people’s memories that be it Rory or crying child.
@@Trontotario yea dreams, we don’t know if he has been in the fnaf 4 room sorry to disappoint you but he saw nightmare fredbear outside of the window
Two childhood youtubers come together for the unsolved mystery
The same can be said about the previous episode.
I REALLY like the idea of Golden Freddy and Cassidy buried together. It would also help explain why Cassidy is SO vengeful. The other kids can at least move around. But Cassidy is in a box, can't really move, only project. Nothing to do but stew in anger.
Youre right i really like this
3:16 To be fair: Five Laps is currently just a demo. The full game isn't out yet.
If there is lore in the game they obviously wouldn’t reveal it in the demo
A demo is a demonstration of a full game. This was an open beta.
@@AveryHyena this was a demo. they reffered to it as a demo
sure, its unfinished and unpolished but still a demo.
also, where in the world did you get the idea that a demo is a full game demonstration, it literally is always a segment of a game, and if that game is yet to release then it is a segment of what is already finished
@@Sopsy_Hallow well demo is commonly used as a demonstration of a full game, for instance you could play a 30 min demo on the playstation store of minecraft but the game wasn't "unfinished" by any means. the term that would be put to better use for five laps would be "early access"
@@Contemptytdemos were never exclusively finished games. many game demos are earlier builds of a game.
being able to play a released game in the store is just that, playing THE game in order to sell you on it. Whereas many game demos are limited by design (ex. they only offer a few levels, or they have a scenario exclusive to the demo). this is true for even companies like nintendo.
MatPat after seeing the title of this show: "You have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
On the other hand the show's name means we have episodes for centuries
dawko pointing out that you never actually see a physical golden Freddy is something that completely went right over my head. The golden Freddy suit being burried w Cassidy’s body inside it, is such a cool and interesting lil theory. It would also explain why golden Freddy looks so dirty and broken. We never find out what happened to the suit.
I think JRs is a bar. Not only does it have the vibe and look of one, but also it has a bouncer who denies the orange guy access.
JRs, aka “Juniors” is generally a word for a kid or just someone less experienced, which is a bad name idea for a bar.
(unrelated, but the green person outside JRs is green, like Clara’s shirt in TIATR.)
@@VillainVac It doesn't have to mean kid/less experienecd, people also use "Junior" for a son with the same name as their father. There are def bars IRL named Junior's. It's a nickname.
@@VillainVac Its named after the "Jr." in the family, Jr. is a family title, so its a family owned business that was probably passed down in the family. Something that would be a town staple of the location the Afton's live is a hole-in-the-wall bar/tavern. He is weaving through traffic past the speeding limit during the minigame, going to a pile of dirt which could be a makeshift grave or solitude place of grieving, he isn't allowed back in to the location & he should know the reason why (he was kicked out), there is a security guard at the door which is unusual unless he is a bouncer, it has neon signage, its open in the middle of the night, he comes back home and yells at his kid, the person watching television asks him to be easy on him (likely smelling the booze on his breath, and promises revenge against his child in a drunken rage. Its definitely a bar.
@VillainVac There's literally a Junior's Bar and Grill not far from me. JR's is referring to the owner and not the guest.
But why would he not be allowed into a random bar? And why would there even be a one off never mentioned again or ever bar??? Does not make sense to me 😕
LOVE to see Dawko and Matpat hanging out, they're so funny together. The impression at the beginning was hilariously spot on. And despite seeing it before, I can't get over how adorably animated FNAF Unsolved intro is!
6:32 The name of the song used in midnight motorist is called "240 Bits Per Mile", and what makes this name even better is the fact that the song's tempo is 240 BMP!
DAWKO & MATPAT? HECK YES!
Is that sonic.
Is that Funtime Freddy?
Oh cholera chi to freddy Fazbear
Hor, hor, horhor?
@@A_Guy_64 hor hor hor go hor ho hor hor hor hor hor hor hor ho hor
“We are your friends” as a reference to CC being actual friends with the MCI kids is a huge callout.
Dude, Matpat being someone who listened to the music from Midnight Motorist on loop while he was writing scripts for videos makes me feel so seen. 😭😌 7:02
11:54 I think it definitely was a contrast design detail decision, so the purple wouldn't clash with the background of the minigame, so they landed on that orangeish, goldish color to still be representative of Springtrap. But for a more lore-centric reason, we know that from a design standpoint, William Afton has always been depicted as purple because he was the 'man in the shadows'. But in Midnight Motorist he's "out of shadow" when going home so he's just depicted as his normal everyday self, or at least the image he put on to portray to everyone else. Just my two cents... Love you guys!🫰
Yellow / yellow-orange is the opposite of violet / blue-violet on the color wheel. That is my theory why.
ooo i really like this theory!! it makes a lot of sense
Nah.
Mat and his drip whenever he partakes in videos after the retirement goes hard 🙌
Matpat: Hello Retirement
Also Matpat: I always come back
bro is truly a legend
The rubix cube is a perfect allegory to describe figuring out the FNAF lore. That's because there IS a definitive answer, it's just so hard to get to without changing anything up.
cant believe dawko used necromancy to summon the ghost of matpat for this video
I was thinking that the purple vs yellow perhaps represented William’s purple security outfit while the yellow is what he usually appears as in civilian clothing. It also makes sense in terms of appearances - outside of Freddy’s, he’s yellow, but when he’s on the job, he reveals the purple.
CC sees a life-sized version of psychic friend fredbear , follows him to Freddy’s , and sees a dead Charlie in the alley with the puppet collapsed on her and that’s why he’s afraid ? That’s how Charlie is able to be the last , no ? 31:00
Or maybe it was golden Freddy and this was one of the ways Cassidy was trying to get back at afton. Exposing his murder to his kid.
The footprints would imply that it’s something physical and real outside the window not just something the cc is seeing. Pffb is something afton used to keep an eye on the cc. If Charlie’s murder really is one of the last ones, and Cassidy’s is before, it would make sense that Cassidy would appear outside, luring away the child of their murderer.
@@fewerpuppet6423 yeah that’s what I mean , it’s Cassidy as Golden Freddy but to CC it’s just a lifesized version of pffb . Idk I feel like that’s the way it makes sense to have Charlie as the last . But then that also leaves the question , why is Afton doing all this killing if not to ‘put CC back together’ ? 🤔
The dawko imitation in the beginning was hilarious
I really liked ID’s fantasy’s interpretation that the agony from Charley’s murder created one of the shadow animatronic and it brought the crying child or Dave (awesome video hyperdroid) to the scene of the crime where he saw his friend dead under the puppet. That feels like an incredibly satisfying explanation for his trauma.
I did not expect to see MatPat in your video!? 😄❤
Yeah. No cap 😅
read the title?💀🙏🏼😭
@@markduncanspencerjr. Oh I didn't realise it says on the title? Sorry 😅
Um
The dirt pile being the Burial Site of Cassidy's corpse/the Yellow Bear suit is actually a fantastic take!
THE WAY I STARTED TWEAKIN AFTER SEEING "ft MATPAT"
what does that mean
@@eineatombombe like I started jumping up and down and scream when I read "featuring MATPAT"
REAL
What puzzles me about the Charlie being killed after the MCI kids is this: How come the Puppet allowed them to possess the animatronics as shown in Give Gifts, Give Life?
Exactly what I thought! It doesn't really make sense for Charlie to be the last if she 'gives gifts, gives life" to the other children. I mean, unless it was actually the Puppet itself doing that pre-Charlie's death, I guess
Matt can never fully retire as long as Fnaf is around.
As someone that watches these types of videos while working, I got very surprised by the unexpected British MatPat
LESS GOOO MATTPATT IS DAWKO CONFIRMED 0:37
There’s two separate pieces of FNAF media that directly mention chica luring someone from their home, one specific mention breaking a window. Again this series really gives you a lot of hints, but like they’re scattered out so far and wide it’s hard to keep track
In the Fazbear Frights story, Chica actually brings the spirit of Susie to her home so she can say goodbye to her sister and retrieve a beloved childhood doll(Unfinished business). Chica even attempts to attack Susie's sister who was bringing Susie the doll after transforming into a Twisted/Nightmare form ONLY for Susie to cry out causing Chica to stop and return to normal. Once Susie has her doll she gives her sister a goodbye hug which they both needed and she and Chica walk off into the night, Where Susie has happiest day occur and her soul rests. It's a beautiful and sad story.
Next episode has gotta be the unsolved Survival Logbook with Hyper Droid.
28:03 if the crying child used to hang out with their ghost friends possessing the animatronics, maybe he accidentally saw one of the hidden bodies in the suits during their playtime?
I don’t usually give theories but something that came to me is that jrs is in fact a bar. He gets kicked out, drunk out of his mind and angry at the world he kills Emily.(bc this is the same day crying child got bit or days later) he comes back to his house and the room that is locked is the older brother bully’s room. It’s clear he had a “rough day” bc of what he witnessed. And William is taking out his anger on him bc he blames him for the incident.
Or maybe it wasn’t the same night as the bite and later. And the bully escaping his room could be him visiting his little brother.
Edit: when I say Emily I mean Henry’s daughter. Charlie
Wasn’t the bite of 83 not Michaels (older brother) fault, William being mad at him makes sense since Michael was the one making up the prank
@@funtimewithjulia I believe William just puts the blame on him anyway out of drunken rage or just in general. And maybe that’s what the sister location cutscenes refer to with the vampire. He is rejecting Michael bc he blames him for the incident.
who’s in the chair tho, watching TV?
@@abolssloba3487 mrs Afton probably
14:03 the only way I can make sense of it, is that, he’s not working in the shadows on location… being purple was because he was in the shadows…also the hard truth that Scott was writing under the games being nightmares/dreams. So that’s how the crying child saw it, and manifested into his dreams.
I think this was originally the case, and then it was retconned into Michael being tormented by his father for remnant experimentation in an attempt to bring his son back whilst punishing the eldest who caused such loss. Illusion discs would explain the hallucinations as Afton's doing, rather than the manifestations of a comatose trauma victim. Also, the opposite of purple on the color wheel is yellow/gold, when he is in his private life he is shadowed, purple, in his public / familial life he is luminous, orange.
@@blarghwagurder yeah i remember making that purple/yellow connection awhile back, and really thought mustard man was Henry. but that’s a better interpretation, being Afton, everyone seeing the opposite side of him.
I feel like into the pit has some sort of same meaning…like the kid is the only one who sees something wrong with his dad. idk like a monster within…almost works as a metaphor for alcoholism in a way too.
I’m also in the camp of “the box” being a toy box. makes sense seeing how FNAF 2 literally had “toy” animatronics. The beak-less Chica toy from the mini game. I’m betting those were all his toys. but yes, retcon changed everything.
I struggle with trying to figure out, is there a full cohesive story, where everything actually makes sense and lines up…
or are there true continuity errors in the writing, caused by clashing ideas and oversight.
@@kdub175 Mattpat said he was shown Scott's "lore" notepad on his desktop, so there is a cohesive story, but it is so convoluted Scott absolutely has flubbed some elements (an example is how horrible he is with numbers, which makes the timeline even harder to solve). In FNAF1, the killer was convicted & apprehended-- this would have stained William's record and stopped him from appearing in the FNAF1 location to dismantle the animatronics. This was retconned by bringing in Henry from the books, which is why he was absent for the entirety of the series up until its finale.
15:22 that’s what the fnaf movie does. Golden freddy coming to the house to get the Abby
Ye I believe it’s golden Freddy telling Michael “it’s me”
I love this series so much already ! Having Matpat has the guest is just so great as well !
Wow Dawko is so clever. That golden/shadow yellow/purple parallel is so interesting!
Does nobody think about the fact that the footprint can’t be William because he would have gotten spring locked from the rain ???
Honestly I like the theory that the footprint is Shadow Freddy luring the Crying Child to Charlie's body
Imo the footprint was there from a previous night.
@@marfa.h3526 wouldn’t the mud from the rain be the thing that leaves a footprint though?
@@conico1762 there could be mud from a previous night?
I think if it’s william as the footprint, it’s him in the leather bonnie suit
If we go by the order of killings as seen in Help Wanted 2's gravestones, supported by Susie/Chica "being the first" in Ultimate Custom night, then Charlie/Puppet is killed after Cassidy/Golden Freddy. Therefore, if this is "Later that night", supported by the same car and rain, then the only Afton children we know to be alive and well at that point is Michael, and it makes sense for him the target of his fathers abuse, and old enough to be trusted to come back on his own. As for why Golden Freddy/Fredbear would appear outside his window that night, I believe it could be due to Charlies influence. We are always lead to believe Charlie retains much more of her awareness and memories than the other ghosts. The books explain this by you having to find your corpse to kind of realise you are dead and collect your scattered mind.
The "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame shows the Puppet putting the children into the original four animatronics. I believe this cannot be literal, as the police was looking into the Missing Childrens-case before Charlie was killed, and thus the bodies were already hidden. So William stuffed the kids. Instead, I think the minigame wants to illustrate that Charlie somewhat recollects the wandering ghosts of the children and show them the hiding places of their bodies; one in each animatronic. One of the newer Tales of the Pizzaplex books reveals that a spirit wanders with fragmented memories in places they knew until they find their body and snap out of it. This is why four of the kids are proper ghosts now. But there is a fifth child, and we can't find their mask before we get jumpscared Golden Freddy. This shows the two are connected, but Charlie can't connect the spirit to the animatronic properly, cause the body wasn't in the expected hiding spot; inside Golden Freddy.
If you get the most difficult ending in Ultimate Custom Night, you get Golden Freddy twitching in the darkness like William/Springtrap does when he gets springtrapped in the games and movie. If you subscribe to Golden Freddy being the final kill of the MCI and The Crying Child/Cassidy is in Golden Freddy, why would William/Purple Guy/Mustard Man kill his own kid? Cause the animatronics were getting spooky, and he was trying to put Cassidy back together. He was bitten in the head, after all, at least resulting in brain-damage. If The Big Bite/Bite of '83 and Bite of '87 both resulted in the loss of the frontal lobe, we know both victims survived the immediate bite. The victim of the Bite of '87 still lives during Ralph's/Phone Guys' last week at Freddy's, which I think the community has decided is in 1993, but I don't really know why. So if Cassidy lives for the two years until the MCI in 1995, William could springtrap Cassidy in an attempt to give him the same kind of undeath William himself later claimed as Springtrap. Because William now has himself a missing child, the police arrest Henry, believing him to be the one in the "yellow mascot costume" luring the kids. This would explain why he was abscent until Freddy Fazbear's Pizzería Simulator; he was in prison.
But Midnight Motorist has the grave I believe holds the remains of Cassidy (in a box?). At least there is a grave of lore significance that Mustard Man/William Afton has access to on his way home. So Charlie can't show Cassidy's wandering spirit his body, he can't take proper poltergeist control of the metal his soul soaked into as he was springtrapped by his own father. Though if he was without a frontal lobe, he wouldn't have had much conscious thought, so that's something. So Charlies spirit wanders, having been attempted awoken by Charlie that night, to the places he knows. His house. Outside his brother's room. Golden Freddy, in the Movie, can appear as a physical entity (it weights down the taxi) and dissappear into nothing, so if game Golden Freddy can do the same, maybe a surge of emotion seeing his brother inside made him materialise. So Michael saw Golden Freddy/Fredbear outside, and approached. In FNAF1, when Golden Freddy is near Mike Schmidt/Michael Afton, he hallucinates "it's me". Michael would know something weird is going on at Freddy's (MCI), he associates Golden Freddy/Fredbear with Cassidy (Cassidy was bitten when the springlocksuit was in animatronic mode), he sees "it's me", and realises it's his brother. So he runs out to see his brother, who has been a vegetable for the last two years, at his hands.
And so Michael would go to "that place again", which I believe is the lore-significant grave in walking distance from the house. Maybe it is to show Cassidy his corpse?
So Midnight Motorist shows William Afton driving home in the rain after killing Henry's unprotected daughter Charlie in a drunken rage because his springlock plan to put his son back together didn't work. He is already drunk, which is why is not allowed into the bar Jr.'s. When he returns home, his wife watches TV, as Michael has escaped out his window to go to Cassidy's grave with Golden Freddy.
Two FNAF legends coming together to deliever some Lore, you love to see it
Speaking of good fnaf banger songs, "Caught in a loop" (or Princess Quest music) is SO good
(Also, could the yellow not represent springbonnie? We love to say we have never seen WIlliam in yellow, but we forget that one of his most iconic things is the suit he did the murders in. I don' t think that William is in the suit obviously, but I think it could be a good parallel)
MATPATTT
Yees
“This is how it is… and you’ll be making FNaF videos over, and over, and over again… I will never let you leave…”
- Like, Nedd Bear or something.
Thing is, "Give Gifts Give Life" really complicates the death order because Golden Freddy is one of the kids given "life" in it. Unless that minigame doesn't mean what we think it does, but what else could it mean? Perhaps the children's spirits were already restless and manifesting and Charlie in the minigame simply gave them full control of the suits, but it didn't work on Golden Freddy because he was missing an endo.
I always interpreted William in MM being yellow being a story told outside the perspective of a child. I always took the 4 core games as coming from the perspective of the crying child.
I prefer to think the first 6 games took the perspective of Micheal, but...
The minigame tho i think its smth like a child (MCI victim, CC, or Charlie) trying to inform Micheal what actually happen. We could see it how it took somekind of retro graphics, childish drawing, and somewhat weird, since kid really has a unique way of looking at things.
@@justhuman8173 I like this! Perhaps this is Crying Child communicating to Michael what their father had done and that’s what pushed him to go to all these locations in 1-6
King of FNAF Lore never dies, he will always come back.
This has been on my mind, but I always thought that William didn’t have his purple security vest or clothing and maybe he threw jacket or vest out because it might’ve had blood stains and he had like a extra pair of clothes in his car, so he wouldn’t come home (or go to a bar) with a bunch of blood stains. Just a theory
If the missing child in midnight motorist is the crying child, and we think the animatronic was able to just manifest outside the window. I think the window being broken from the inside could make sense if animatronic first manifested inside his room, and he broke out of the window out of fear, trying to get away.
FIRST OF ALL. BEFORE I EVEN GET INTO THE VIDEO. INTROS ARE SLOWLY DYING BUT THIS NEEDS TO STAY. That was incredible

One thing that has always stunned me is that Michael and Bonnie mask kid who shoved crying child in Fred bear had fnaf one masks on before 83 which doesn’t make sense because the reason that Afton started killing was because his son died but his son hadn’t died yet
Also in instance when Circus baby counts the children leading up to Elizabeth’s death, she went “5, 4, 3, then 2, then 1.” What if counting backwards like we’ve seen a few characters do? What if that applies here? When it comes to Help Wanted 2, it would make sense to count that way because characters have done it before and because Charlie would be listed first. There have been many implications that Charlie and Elizabeth go hand in hand as you see in Circus Baby’s blueprints in fnaf sl.
28:04
I do remember seeing a clip of crying child locked in the closet with a suit that had a child in it.
We can't really say was exactly is in the fredbear suit the cc is locked in. It's just a brown tuff without blood or anything... just a brown texture.
You know, if Matpat keeps coming back like this, he might as well have not even retired. He’s just changed from main character to supporting cast.
You gotta realize how much less responsibility he has now. He was doing the job of what is now split between 5 people. And when you do youtube for as long as he has the friends you make are people that also make videos. So, spending time with the friends he has made usually means being in others' videos. And now all he has to really do is show up. No script writing, no editing, etc. Matt is a person who will never truly "retire," but in his definition, he's not working he's doing everything he literally couldn't do when managing/owning a whole company
if Matpat keeps ‘coming back’ like this, he might as well be William Afton 🤣🤣🤣
11:36 if he was the last maybe William turned yellow/golden because he finally got all the kills and unlocked the gold skin.
i got so excited and screamed while my sister was on the phone 😭💀
I know it’s been a month but I’m so happy this series is back!!
So I know that the games and the books don't line up 1 for 1, but I just thought of something. The kid breaking out of his room in midnight motorist and leaving from the window reminds me of Oswald trying to escape his room/house when Spring Bonnie takes over as his father in "Into the Pit" video game/book story. specifically when Oswald escapes out his window, even though he doesn't break the window. I feel the animatronic foot prints in Midnight Motorist also has a correlation assuming that Spring Bonnie/dad follows Oswald back to the pizzeria.
I'm not saying that they are 1 for 1 or anything like that, I just wanted to point out the similarities that came to mind after watching your video. :)
William Afton can't be in 2 places at once in that situation. He's at his house as himself. The animatronic footprints are already there when he gets there. He didn't go there as spring bonnie.
@@UnfazedPhoenix Right, sorry about that, I should have been more specific. I never said that William was in 2 places at the same time; I was just merely making an observation that the situation in "Midnight Motorist" and the one from "Into The Pit" have very similar circumstances. I was merely trying to convey that just maybe, the child from Midnight Motorist broke out of his own house like Oswald did to escape and then be followed by an animatronic. I wasn't trying to specify about if he was following something or if something was following him because I really don't know. It could be Golden Freddy, which would make it similar to the FNAF Movie. I don't know it was just a thought at the time.
them talking about the midnight motorist music and fnaf music in general makes me feel seen as someone that literally only listens to gracefully into the abyss from the princess quest 4 game in HW2 on repeat
You know, I kinda want to do a FNAF fan game where both Dawko and Mat Pat both steal a Pizza Oven from Freddy's and are now attempting to steal a Ice cream machine form where you work, and add a joke that if they succeed, they should go steal the soda fountain from the convenience store from down the street and throw a party!!
On the part of the footsteps and that Golden Freddy lured the Crying Child out, He died 1983 while the MCI takes place in 1985
the intro animation is so cute omg
Matpat gave so much to the lore, he won’t allow others to solve fnaf without him
the second i saw mat's name in the title i clicked as fast as i could.
now what i want to know is, what exactly is afton running under the hood that lets his car hit 200mph in the mid 80s?
The ultimate fnaf movie easter egg duo together again also Matpat cool Dawko introduction
For the footprints I personally like ID Fantasy’s theory that Charlie’s death also created Shadow Bonnie and it was Shadow Bonnie leading CC to Charlie and the Puppets bodies.
I just want to say that the editing in this is gorgeous. Props to the editor 🔥
I watched ozone’s theory on midnight night motorist and I honestly think he solved it. He does address the issues with it in the end since Five Laps at Freddy’s has come out. But overall it is a really solid theory that explains a lot. Especially if Into the Pit is making stitch line or the stitch wraith canon to the games.
i just like the other theory on where the car is a rental. and william just sent it to the other person.
and he probably just lured the kid out there
(william)
and basically the highschool chica cutscene in ucn (the puppet date) she said "ill knock on her door. if he doesnt answer she will go find a window"
22:43
Dawko: why
Matpat: *starts breaking brains cells*
Not sure if it’s mentioned but purple and yellow are complementary colours (i.e., opposite colours)… which may support mustard man being William Afton before “going bad” or whatever. Or could mean something else 😂
That's bit about golden freddy is really interesting.. In fnaf3 there's a line saying 'Do not wear the suits, there was a multiple springlock failure in one of the suits'
Knowing Fazbear Ent.. could the body be found inside and that's the reason why it never does an appearence again? Like they got rid of it to hide the evidence.
i just started watching this but. in the intro i just realized that the pattern on the top part of the fnaf 4 walls. is the same pattern as that one in the trailer for secret of the mimic
i love that jacket that mat has! its so reminiscent of the old Jeff Gordon Dupont, racing jacket
If JR'S is a bar Afton went to to drown his sorrows after a rough day at work or with his son being bitten, why was he not allowed at the bar?
Um...have you experienced any form of societal interaction? People get kicked out/banned from bars for causing public disturbances, fighting, getting too drunk & sloppy, displaying creepy or predatory behavior etc. There are 100 reasons or more people get banned from bars.
@UnfazedPhoenix I am aware, but why would he go knowing he's banned? That's what I mean. If he had the purpose of drowning his sorrows, he easily could have went to a different bar or bought alcohol from the store to take home.
I really like the idea of the Golden Freddy suit being buried with Cassidy inside, but I still want to present an idea I had for how Cassidy could possess him while being buried separately from the suit. Throughout the franchise, a consistent method of characters being killed is by being forced inside one of the animatronics. William even tries to kill one of the characters in the first novel by forcing the person to wear a spare animatronic suit. I think it would be reasonable to assume that Afton's preferred method of killing is to repurpose the animatronics as death traps, similar to the Freddy torture mask in the movie. In this context, it is easy to see how Cassidy could possess Golden Freddy while being outside the suit. Afton, in this context, would use Golden Freddy as a weapon then hide Cassidy elsewhere so no employee trying to wear the costume would unknowingly discover Afton's secret.
Even in retirement, matpat can't escape fnaf...
I believe, as for who the animatronic was outside, it was baby, and she was trying to visit her home and play with crying child again. I believe this has happened several times, because williams attitude towards it is making it seem that way. I think after this time of it happening he realized he needs to keep crying child safe from the funtimes that crying child is presumably visiting and playing near while hes with baby, so william tells michael to try and scare him with the mask, and he eventually develops the way to give crying child nightmares to get crying child to not want to go with baby anymore so he doesnt get grabbed by any of the funtimes. this then leads into fnaf 4 where he gets bitten and all that.
6:05 just saving my time spot
This may help explain what the crying child saw. What if the flash backs in FNAF4 are after the missing child incident, we even see "hair" in a Freddy (?) suit. What if they were killed, crying child is lured to the restaurant. Will in his rage reveals the truth, terrifying the child as he's seen all his friends on the suits. Then on his birthday, the one you shouldn't have killed as Golden kills CC so they can be together and as an fu to will. Also makes "the one you shouldn't have killed" also because GF was the one to kill Dave after being his friend for so long
Also the crying child would be not only afraid, but mourning
If the child that escaped is the crying child, and the one on the couch is Michael, why is he telling Mustard Man to take it easy on CC since they've had a rough day? If CC did have a rough day it would be because it was Michael, and I don't really remember Purple Guy being mean to CC except for like, the hallucinations and stuff
Either way great video, love this series so much! Keep the theories coming
I'm really loving this series. There are a lot of things that are starting to feel unsolvable and a lot of things that feel solved except for a few details that are normally not considered. I have the impression that nowadays fnaf lore feels solved and unsolved at the same time and this series is perfect for summarising and reflecting on the "holes" that we still have in the timeline
Mats impression of dawko is funnny
Could dawkos theory on golden freddy being buried also factor towards why golden is glitchy , because the suit isn't actually at any of the pizzerias , like because the suit isn't at the scene of the murder it means Cassidy isn't able to function as well of the others while possessing the suit
What if yellow is William's og color but the terrified kids remember him as a horrible evil purple? Bc in all Minigames where he's purple(all of them lol) we also have a) a terrified child(poor CC) b) one of his victims possessing a robot
So purple is the color they remember him as due to the trauma he inflicted on them
That's a good idea.
Pog, FNAf Unsolved, Matpat _always_ comes back! Midnight Motorist truly is quite a mini game with many _Lore_ bits scattered, funtimes. Great to see him drop by for a visit. Tack for the vid Mate 🐺 🐾
Has anyone ever thought the flashing lights from the TV it’s an SOS
SOS in morse is . . . _ _ _ . . .
In Midnight Motorist is just alternating without any timing.
Idk if there are other ways to code and SOS but it seems unlikely. Cool idea thou!
Matpat always comes back
