Want a hot take? The community is better at storytelling than steel wool. I swear FNAF theorists are so much more creative than the games actually are. I would put money on Scott just using the best bits of theories to make his game last longer.
Agree to disagree. People forget that we wouldn't have any sort of story without Scott. We wouldn't have our own headcanons and AUs if it weren't for the original material. Much of what people come up with is derived from Scott's work and, by extension, Steel Wool's.
also i believe fnaf 4 is mirroring mike's dream sequences in the movies, it's told in the logbook that mike tends to sleep with an eye open, keeping some kind of awareness, i believe mike is a sleepwalker, and the fnaf 4 sequences are a sort of ptsd living nightmare he gets while (or after) working in fnaf 1
I can see that, especially if you consider the whole Fear Experiments thing. Mike could be moving around in his bedroom (or wherever) and is hallucinating the Nightmares. Either way I still think Nightmare/Shadow Freddy has something to do with it.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 Nightmare/SF is pretty much the hidden true villain of the game lore. For references sake, “the shadow fears me” is nightmare boasting about shadow Bonnie (The agony being controlling Springtrap and doing William Afton larping, hence why dark Springtrap looks like shadow Bonnie and is important to notice) fearing them. Fnaf1 displays Freddy being controlled against his own will akin to William Afton in fnaf3, since they are both respectively imprisoned and controlled by the shadow animatronics (Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie) to make them kill who they don’t want to kill. Into the pit is stuoid weird with this context, since Freddy acts like a master mind in retrospect trying to keep everything into check. The freddy that dies similar things as the shadow Bonnie controlled SpringTrap.
I think the one retcon is in FNAF 1, where phone guy says the animatronics haven't had a bath in 20 years. He said how no one noticed/talked about it, and I never heard anyone mention it.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 that is they had existed for 20 years, they would have been around since at least 1973, or at least 1978 if you're casually rounding
@@thesymbiotenation.4552 everyone gets infected with the DaveTrap (GlitchDave?) virus and the animatronics all go like "why, hello there, old sport" 😂
I've heard this one before and I can see the idea. I don't necessarily think so, I think Dave's agony is a lot more..."widespread", like ShatterVictim suggests. But I can definitely see the reasoning.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 ok makes sense Here are just some random thoughts i thought of 1-shadow freddy following mike and being the one thats causing him nightmares makes sense since it would be dave’s agony (the part of him that doesnt forgive him) tormenting mike 2-maybe the shadows are the representation of William’s malice when he killed the children,making sort of ghosts from the suits he used 3-last one,maybe they are the combination of the mci’s and the dci’s agony (mci is shadow freddy and dci is shadow bonnie),which would mean it would be almost as if they are helping themselves free themselves (also maybe the mci children were friends with dave so it would get a motive for shadow freddy to haunt mike)
1. You know what, I can actually see that. I like it. 2. I think you could make that argument for Shadow Bonnie in particular, as I know there's a certain Fazbear Fright's story where Shadow Bonnie (or rather, something kinda similar) torments/follows around a character. 3. I definitely do think the Shadows are born from the MCI and DCI, especially with how Shadow Bonnie seems connected to Remnant (I.E. Special Delivery.)
@@TheDoctorIsIn101wait i just thought of something regarding fnaf world: Shadow freddy only has insta-kill attacks (and theres a popular theory that nightmare is death itself so like) Shadow bonnie (RWQ) only has support attacks,one being haunting which you know,makes sense he is a spirit of agony,the other being mimic ball which ill get to later and gift boxes,call me crazy but,what if RWQ is mimicking the puppet’s actions,that why he helps the children’s spirits,makes sense considering shadow bonnie is a shadow version of TOY bonnie,and the toy animatronics have a relation with the puppet (Bit of a tangent which i dont believe but could mean shadow freddy is possessing the blob from fnaf security breach and shadow bonnie is the thing controlling the mimic in the ruins dlc)
Yeah I realized after the fact it lines up with MemoryVictim more so, but ShatterVictim and MemoryVictim aren't exclusive. You can kind of have both at the same time because A) They both reach the same point and B) Even in the theory I kinda imply that it's both. You have him shattering across the animatronics (ShatterVictim) and then also stuff like Toy Chica's beak, Mangle, etc.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 Yeah, I agree. Although, I feel like that should have been clarified more because we don't want the FNAF community to mislabel theories. Very good video though :D
It always brings me back to the first game. Yes, it doesn't have many things Scott wanted to include, but it should provide enough for a basic story. Scott says that theorists were doing good up to FNAF4, where he even says there aren't Easter eggs for people to find. This means people are going way off the basic story. The box and what he says about it, to me, means "I could've put all the answers here, but would the community even want it?" Think about it, if there's an answer, the interest for this franchise (and even potential financial gains) will drop substantially. All this rests on the unknown lore. He rather have us in doubt, so he decided to keep the box closed. Deep down, we want it closed, too.
FNaF and Doctor Who:Two great fandoms with complicated timelines and history. Don't know why I love both of them, but I do, and I've accepted that. Anyways, great finds overall and I really enjoyed the video. Especially the connections between Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare. Very insightful stuff there about the AIs.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! And yeah, for some off reason Doctor Who and FNaF are the two Fandoms I just can't let go no matter what. Weird mix, and yet, it scratches that itch in my brain.
Finally found a video that shares my interpretation of the original FNAF 1-4 storyline! Even though my view on ShatterVictim is a little different than yours, I understand where you're coming from. Anyways, great video dude!
The thing I always never understood is why everyone insists there's only one bite. Pizza Sim can occasionally have a lawsuit over someone else being bitten. The TV implies 4 takes place around '83. I think initial theories are correct from 2. The nightshift guard turned dayshift got bitten and lost his frontal lobe. Whether or not that was actually Eggs Benedict is besides the point, it's supposed to happen at that time. While Crying Child (Dave?) was lost much earlier, clearly, because he did NOT survive with his frontal lobe as we can clearly hear and everyone acknowledges. It could also have been a noodle incident with no attachment to the lore, and dayshift guard witnessed it instead of being the cause of it, and none of it matters as Freddy's was closing down anyways so whoever that was just faded into obscurity as "the victim" Either way, no Mark, that was not the bite of 87. That was one of the events that killed Freddy's before both the MCI and DCI. Edit; Perhaps it's the catalyst for DCI. Either staritng with Suzie to tarnish the reputation further, or Puppet to get back at Henry.
Actually! Fun Fact, the recent interactive novel "The Week Before" heavily implies that the nightguard from FNaF 2 (Jeremy) was the bite victim and that he was basically comatose afterwards, so that's that. I thought most people understood by now that there were two bites, specifically the Bite of 83 and 87. Into the Pit even makes reference to them a few times.
What if the mangle toy is a take apart toy in the restaurant kids like taking him apart there so when making the toys for these characters they made that a feature.
Currently my favorite interpretation of fnaf 4 is joedoughboi's "forgotten" theory. I think it makes the most sense when looking at the box, the identity of the fredbear plush, and the protagonist of the 4th game. It also makes fnaf 3 make more sense to me
The problem with shatter victim is it's literalizing the dream theory and making it real. It's not really addressing things, it's moreso deliberatly trying to make it not a dream but it can't get away from the idea that the games are influenced by what the child sees/saw. Deep down that's what these games are about, chuckie e cheese/showbiz animatronics are scary to kids. That's the idea that fnaf 4 was directly playing with. I do think scott gave up on dream theory, a lot of people see dream endings as a cop out but honestly "it was never real" is never a deflating concept to me, because all of these fiction stories aren't real. What matters is how it was told and I think scott succeeded in that, mostly. Shatter theory may be the explanation for the game *now*.
You know, that's a fair point. I said in my video that ShatterVictim and Dream Theory share a lot of points/evidence/details, and I still think that's true. I think the difference is that I personally believe ShatterVictim WAS the intention of FNaF 4 even when the game first came out, and I think Dream Theory is what most of the community interpreted instead of ShatterVictim. To be fair, it's not a surprise that we all collectively came to Dream Theory back then. Dream Theory is a really solid interpretation for FNaF 4. But even Scott said that Dream Theory wasn't the right answer; in one of his posts he affirmed that "nobody, not a single person, figured out the story of the game" (referring to FNaF 4.) So yeah! I don't think it's necessarily "Scott gave up on Dream Theory" or retconned it, I just think Dream Theory was never Scott's intention to begin with.
You know, i have never heard of shattered victim, but that theory fits right in with the new lore presented in "the week before" TWB makes a point of every animatronic saying "it's me" not only golden freddy. That could very well imply how the shattered victim theory is indeed the intended solution. As of now, that's one weird detail most of the community hasn't been able to put together
Intriguing details about FNAF4: **Fredbear Plush** - The eyes don’t appear when he is outside the house. Another important detail: Fredbear Plush only appears around the pizzeria, but never inside. **"He HATES you"** - This phrase seems to reference Michael. Michael hates his "brother." He locked him in the room and left him alone at Fredbear's. **Endoskeletons** - Is the Crying Child locked in a room with a dead child? Is that why the head and right arm aren’t on the animatronic? **TextColors** - Fredbear Plush speaks for all the animatronics, as if its soul is in all of them. **MusicBox** - There is a sound playing in the background when the animatronics are saying goodbye to the Crying Child. Apologies for the mistakes.
Some interesting stuff! You bring up an interesting point about the Fredbear plush; when you see it in the storm drain or in the flower, it's eyes aren't glowing. However, the Fredbear plush you see at the playground DOES have the glowing eyes. Most likely that isn't a dead child, probably just wires sticking out of the suit. I don't know about it's "soul" being in all of them. More likely Fredbear plush is just an imaginary friend conjured by the Crying Child; the Crying Child mentions earlier in the game that he sees the Freddy's characters as his "friends", but he's terrified of the animatronics themselves.
That depends on if you think that passage from the Survival Logbook is actually Jeremy, because it says it's a "prompt" given by the book itself. But I'd say it's possible!
In the prologues of the books, it's implied that Golden Freddy has two souls; The fifth kid and 'the one you shouldn't have killed.' They both fight for control. and they even briefly have to share their vessel with Afton himself. He eventually leaves on his own, so perhaps while Afton was using Golden Freddy to DCI, that's when he learned about souls possessing metal and went back to where it all began to disassemble the first four to see how they ticked. And used being Springlocked to that advantage
I know GoldenDuo is another popular consensus for what might've happened to the Crying Child (Dave), but personally I don't think Stitchwraith is necessarily a Golden Freddy parallel. You are right though, that is what happens in the Stitchwraith Stingers. It's also possible that's why Afton dismantled the original four, though I personally believe in MoltenMCI.
That's ignoring the fact that Nightmare is literally called Shadow Freddy in the game files; and the Shadows are inferred to be creatures born of Agony.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 isn’t nightmare just the agony of golden Freddy aka the crying child? He and William are the only ones who were killed by animatronics which is the reason why they have agony recreations (springtraps model wasn’t created yet that’s why his shadow looks like toy Bonnie and is also the reason golden Freddy changes models).
In the game files of FNaF 4 Nightmare is directly specified to be named "Shadow Freddy" as opposed to just "Nightmare" or something simple. CC and William aren't the only ones who were killed by animatronics either, I mean, literally Phone Guy in the first game was too. If everyone who died to an animatronic somehow created their own Shadow-y Agony monster then there would be a lot more of those sorts of things.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 i mean they were the only ones killed by non possessed animatronics. Crying Child by the bite of 83 (I cope and still think it’s the bite of 87) and William by getting spring locked. Since they were so uniquely gruesome they had agony recreations (shadow animatronics).
Hmmm, I see your point, but that's inferring that the Shadow Animatronics apparently exist via pseudo-time travel (or rather, they don't obey the laws of Time.) Because we see Shadow Bonnie in FNaF 2 of course, but Afton's springlocking happens years later.
I’m vary convinced the one retcon is about the mci news paper Sense it can’t be Charlie sense that statement was made before the Charlie retcon in Pizza sim So i think it’s the whole news paper on how the MCI happens Mostly that there was an arrest and how the kids going missing in a set of 2 and then 3 Sense most mci versions are shown as 5 kids going missing at once not in different groups
Tot chica is missing her beak for a reason, the toys are connected, why would they show you those kids tho, surely not just for Dave's birthday, the child with the toy chica toy, IS the one possessing toy chica
36:50 See. This is the part I just fail to grasp. This heavily implies that SL takes place after fnaf 1 since the souls from the MCI/Fnaf 1 animatronics are injected into the SL Animatronics. But it doesn't really make sense, as William should be Sprintrapped after he destroys all the animatronics for the remannt. Also, the whole thing of Michael getting fired for odor makes way more sense if SL takes place before FNaF 2 since he's a rotting corps. If anything, the '87 DCI victims would make more sense to become the SL Animatronics in my opinion, as the Toys could just be their criminal database ai for them acting weird.
Yeah, that's always been the issue with the MoltenMCI theory--and to be fair, it really is a glaring issue. If I actually had to place my bets on it, I think MoltenMCI is that "one retcon" Scott Cawthon mentioned awhile ago. I think the original idea was that the MCI souls WERE freed in Happiest Day, but because the series continued after that he retconned it so that they became the Funtimes and, eventually, Ennard. Generally how it's explained is that after Afton takes apart an animatronic each night (for example, he dismantles Freddy on Night 1 then another animatronic on Night 2.) After he does he takes them back to his bunker and smelts their metal down to inject their Remnant into the Funtimes. He goes back to Freddy's on the 5th night to either A) dismantle Golden Freddy or B) Just find more metal to scrap in general, and that's when the children souls pop up to attack him and, of course, he gets springlocked. As for the DCI being the Funtimes, yeah, that would've been better--but there's no evidence for it, especially because we know the Toys were scrapped by the company at the end of FNaF 2.
@TheDoctorIsIn101 That would make sense I guess. If he returned for the fifth time, for Golden Freddy perhaps, and failed to dismantle him, maybe that could be why GF is in the UCN cutscene as he may not have been freed. Then again, there were 5 ghosts. Idk. It's just the one part of the timeline that I feel isn't established enough. And they just keep adding more lore to conflict other things. IE the security log book.
"Also, the whole thing of Michael getting fired for odor makes way more sense if SL takes place before FNaF 2 since he's a rotting corps." It really doesn't, though, it just provides a connection at the expense of logic. The idea that a walking corpse is going around getting jobs has always been a dumb one. FNAF can get kinda goofy yes, but not to those levels of borderline parody. It makes way more sense that the only job he ever got after SL was with Henry, for obvious reasons. Yes, that also means he wasn't at Fazbear's Fright, which is what I now believe.
@@hannahjensen3948 I do agree that the odor thing is something people take way too seriously. It really doesn't make sense. However, I'm still on the fence on whether or not Mike worked at Fazbear's Fright. I definitely see the argument for Hudson, it's valid, however I think there's a good argument for Mike as well. I recently did a video involving Sister Location's placement and I bring that up in it if you wanna check that out :) (Shameless plug go brrr)
Guys Mike is the CC and the box contains evidence of his resurrection. Their lore complete The rest of this post is the hefty amounts of evidence on this Fnaf4 -the Fnaf 1 phone call, Chica missing her beak and all the other references points to CC being the nightguard in Fnaf 1-3 probably relieving his memories(why Chica is missing her beak, 4 games one story) -the day minigames are done in the style of the Atari. Which if you didn’t know the Atari system was created by the same person who created the Chuck E. Cheese animatronics and every Atari minigame so far was in the perspective of the animatronics. So perhaps the CC seeing his memories like this has significance - the nightmare animatronics are more human then the rest. For one they breathe, have five fingers and Nightmare himself seems to have some form of anatomy with his own brain. A very odd detail? Why would a child fear some kind of humanoid robot design along with anatomy -again the dream parts of Fnaf 4 contain children’s toys and your character is 3 feet tall and we see hospital equipment etc. I wouldn’t even know the mental gymnastics you would have to do to relate this to Foxybro -Fredbear is most likely the puppet. It was the only spirit that we know that existed during Fredbear’s time, and Scott put out two teasers that correlates the Puppet to a yellow bear plus the circular white eyes. Coincidentally this character is well known for giving life -the motivation for the CC to be the nightguard is he sees the animatronics as his friends thanks to Plushbear associating the two. Hence why the nightguard would come back each night and why he has a incentive to help the spirits be free in Fnaf 3 -The box dialogue of “perhaps something’s are best left forgotten” makes it seem the box contains something the player character does not want to find out. as in evidence he was unalived and came back to life. -Further elaborated when Scott said the box contains “the pieces put together” and being put together is how the CC is described. So the CC in some form must exist in that box. Hence why the speaker does not want to open it since it proves he is not himself - Fnaf world -we are obviously playing as the possessed animatronics in Fnaf world. Which is why the final boss is called security and is an owl(as in it’s the nightguard on cams and it is also why the original games world map was Atari esque -the clock ending involves talking to Fredbear to set up the Fnaf 3 Easter egg for the nightguard -in Fnaf world the clock ending says “we are still your friends” denoting that he is talking to the CC and says “The pieces are in place for you” which were the Fnaf 3 Easter eggs. Connecting the cc to Fnaf 3 nightguard as the nightguard was the one who contributed to Happiest day. Something that cannot be possible if the CC wasn’t the Fnaf 3 nightguard Sister location -Scott said the one retcon wasn’t that the story was different just that he tried telling it in a different way -SL had tons of things that blurred the line from human to robot with the FUNTIMES having a brain and muscle fibers plus the 3 baby heads in the control room -Also Funtime Freddy refers to you as the Birthday boy? Which the CC was relative to -and the immortal and the Restless show the vampire has a baby that is not his but is his, maybe this alluded to how Michael came back alive therefore is and not is William’s son -Another evidence is we don’t know why William sent Michael to the Sister location. But this theory makes it seems to break the news that he is a robot by seeing how his sister turned into one -Michael in the custom night ending also says “I put her back together” even emphasizing in his voice that he heard this line before. And there is only two people who should know that line with one being Fredbear -Michael also says “but Their is something wrong with me I should be ded but I’m not” notice how he says something wrong with him as if him existing causes it somehow -the voice actor for Michael was given instructions to sound broken. We know of one other character that was described as broken Pizzeria simulator -our avatar in the slideshow cutscenes is a yellow bear. If we were Foxy bro why not a fox? In fact why is everything that relates to Michael is a bear and not a fox? Probably cause he isn’t Foxybro therefore has no connection to Foxy -in the Midnight Motorist minigame if mustard man is William Afton, and Foxybro is watching tv then whoever left the house is CC. And the place he went is most likely a Freddy’s location since that is the only locations we have been shown(probably to help his friends) -in the Fruity Maze game Springbonnie said the girl’s unalived dog is alive. If a dog can become realive why not a human? Of course William could be lying but him having the ability to bring dogs to life is not unbelievable -in Candy Cadet’s stories he basically says 1 guy sees five things but in order to save 4 of them he must give up 1 of them or lose all five, but he attempts to circumvent this by combining all five into one but fails. This was reference to Henry’s plan and the fifth was Michael -it would makes sense why Michael wanted to stay in the fire in FFPS. Because he was the fifth animatronic. He needed to be buried with them to end it all. Makes more sense then Michael agreeing to this for no reason Help wanted -In Help wanted we are told the game was made through scanned in memories from a circuit board? Given the game is Fnaf 1, Fnaf 2, Fnaf 3, Sister location and Fnaf 4? Who’s memories you think it could be but Michael and the CC, but why would that be on a circuit board? If Michael and or the CC were 100% human? Maybe because they are not -the Curse of Dreadbear dlc is heavily related to Fnaf 4 and is a spoof of Frankenstein a story about creating life -also the dlc is called Curse of Dreadbear. Maybe to say the events of Help Wanted was do to the CC in particular? Security Breach -Glamrock Freddy who everyone thinks is Michael calls the blob his “friends” something shared by the CC. -Glamrock Freddy also after fully being upgraded looks a lot like Nightmare Fredbear? His hat and bow tie turn purple, his eyes glows, he gains sharp talons. -and the Afton family table Easter egg a mother says “I am getting a divorce because you wasted all our money on that closet” Closets like in the book series which pointed to realiving a child -the secret Michael TV room entrance looks pretty similar to how Charlie’s Ella closet is described and the secret message on the walls sounds like programmed instructions for someone. Perhaps this was Michael’s realiving closet Miscellaneous -The security logbook responses in the “How you feel questionnaire” could’ve meant as something for Michael to answer given how some of the questions do starts off on the extreme end for the answers like “I can’t see” with numbers next to them -The drawing of Fredbear was also under the faded text asking about dreams as if Michael is answering that question -Michael also makes fun of the Bite of 83. Which if Foxybro was Mike then he would have no guilt in his actions. Something Foxybro did showcase having -Silver eyes was published pretty close after Fnaf 4 which even being the first book in the series heavily alluded to how Charlie is a robot, and gave her multiple contrary dates of birth along with mentioned that she dressed like Ella a doll and had 4 closets -Charlie although being a robot exhibited biological functions like eating, drinking, hormones, bleeding, being affected by a device specifically design for a human brain -in UCN the Freddy and Foxy anime cutscene paints Foxy as Foxybro. Hence why he wears grey and Freddy wants revenge for what Foxy did on his birthday. Freddy also has a flute which is something Michael draws in the logbook -in the Fazbear Frights one step closer gum guy exhibits a lot of traits with the CC. He ends up afraid of Foxy, he gets hospitalized into a limbo state and he shares a lot with Michael as fishing and chewing gum. Probably something relevant there -Another thing in Fazbear Frights is To Be Beautiful which involves a robot giving a girl a Twisted one’s chip that makes her look hot. A thing that was very important in making Charlie look human -the character encyclopedia kept out Michael which I assume is due to the Streissland effect where Scott doesn’t want to say anything to outright confirm this fact Why Foxybro is Michael -it explains what happened to Foxybro in Fnaf 4(we had to explain what happen to the CC anyway) -uh it can’t be the CC cause of age so by process of elimination it is someone with no other indistinguishable characteristics except being older (yea same could be said about Charlie. And she is a robot so that is proof for Mikevictim if anything) -Cause my fan fiction on how Michael is like wouldn’t work -Because game theory said so. (Dam got me)
Scott's remark on the box doesn't necessarily disprove the theory I'd say, it just means that the box in particular is redundant! (Still funny tho.) Also, yes! I do SFM! I want to get into Blender eventually, but I'm still practicing SFM. I have a ton of animations on my channel if you want to see :)
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 Yeah I know but I haven't really seen him ever bring up shatter victim and you can see in he's more recent videos him still say he thinks that dream theory was Scotts original plan so I think a reaction to a video like this would make for a great reaction.

Yeah I often watch GTLive in the background when I'm editing or writing scripts, and I always sigh when he brings up Dream Theory as if it were always Scott's intention.

@@TheDoctorIsIn101 Exactly, he also said (can't remember exactly where I think in the newer dawko interview) that after fnaf 1 blew up he had plans for up to fnaf 5 being more futuristic so he was definitely intended for fnaf 1-4 on being actual events not just dreams
I think this video would've benefitted if you trimmed out the og videoes' intros and outros, making it more cohesive. And it would warrent your starting disclaimer more then, as its a bit redundant when theres clear evidence this is two videos stitched together through their og intros and outros.
You are totally right, I definitely should've. I never really thought the video would pop off as much as it has, so I didn't think of it. In the future I don't intend to really do what I did here, part of the reason this was split into two parts at all is because I had finished the first half of my script awhile ago but yada yada yada, stuff came up, and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish the second half in one go. But yeah, I do plan on better cohesiveness in the future.

I'm sorry you didn't understand what I was saying :( Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about that, my autism affects my speech sadly.

So what, the crying child's supposed to be some kind of superior entity that manipulates reality now? because to me this sounds like it summarizes in "kid dies painfully, that means now he's god", don't know how that convoluted mess became "so popular" but great video anyway, it was definetley interenting.
No, he's definitely not God or any sort of powerful. That would suggest he has control over what's happening, he doesn't. He had an agonizing death and lived a short agonizing life. It's just supernatural.
think of it like one of those folklore horror stories where one horrible thing happens and then the spirit of that person starts haunting people and places nearby
Everyone says they will be the one to solve the lore, but where's the people that will unsolve it?

For references sake, “the shadow fears me” is nightmare boasting about shadow Bonnie (The agony being controlling Springtrap and doing William Afton larping, hence why dark Springtrap looks like shadow Bonnie and is important to notice) fearing them. Fnaf1 displays Freddy being controlled against his own will akin to William Afton in fnaf3, since they are both respectively imprisoned and controlled by the shadow animatronics (Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie) to make them kill who they don’t want to kill.
Into the pit is stuoid weird with this context, since Freddy acts like a master mind in retrospect trying to keep everything into check. The freddy that dies similar things as the shadow Bonnie controlled SpringTrap.
My favorite part of the video is when Freddy Fazbear jumped out my screen and told me I was the dream theory
I'm outside your home
Bold title. Brave person. I'm getting my construction hat and Ramattra barrier ready. Let's do this. 🛡️
Heck yeah!
I think the one retcon is in FNAF 1, where phone guy says the animatronics haven't had a bath in 20 years. He said how no one noticed/talked about it, and I never heard anyone mention it.
Would the retcon be that they HAVE bathed or that they never did?
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 that is they had existed for 20 years, they would have been around since at least 1973, or at least 1978 if you're casually rounding
We need a new DSAF where Scott helps make it and add actual FNAF lore to it 😭😭
Beautiful.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 it could take place in the Day shift version of the Mega Pizzaplex
@@thesymbiotenation.4552 honestly any shenanigans that happen would be tame for the pizzaplex
@@thesymbiotenation.4552 everyone gets infected with the DaveTrap (GlitchDave?) virus and the animatronics all go like "why, hello there, old sport" 😂
so if the puppet has those tears streaks beacuse of the CC's agony, would that mean that in the timeline CC died first than Charlotte?
Yep!
In the FNAF 6 minigame, the puppet doesn't have the tear streaks yet, meaning Charlotte dies first (assuming the CC/Dave agony thing is correct)
I always thought the shadows were the representation of dave’s agony literally giving life to the shadows the animatronics were casting
I've heard this one before and I can see the idea. I don't necessarily think so, I think Dave's agony is a lot more..."widespread", like ShatterVictim suggests. But I can definitely see the reasoning.
William Afton?
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 ok makes sense
Here are just some random thoughts i thought of
1-shadow freddy following mike and being the one thats causing him nightmares makes sense since it would be dave’s agony (the part of him that doesnt forgive him) tormenting mike
2-maybe the shadows are the representation of William’s malice when he killed the children,making sort of ghosts from the suits he used
3-last one,maybe they are the combination of the mci’s and the dci’s agony (mci is shadow freddy and dci is shadow bonnie),which would mean it would be almost as if they are helping themselves free themselves (also maybe the mci children were friends with dave so it would get a motive for shadow freddy to haunt mike)
1. You know what, I can actually see that. I like it.
2. I think you could make that argument for Shadow Bonnie in particular, as I know there's a certain Fazbear Fright's story where Shadow Bonnie (or rather, something kinda similar) torments/follows around a character.
3. I definitely do think the Shadows are born from the MCI and DCI, especially with how Shadow Bonnie seems connected to Remnant (I.E. Special Delivery.)
@@TheDoctorIsIn101wait i just thought of something regarding fnaf world:
Shadow freddy only has insta-kill attacks (and theres a popular theory that nightmare is death itself so like)
Shadow bonnie (RWQ) only has support attacks,one being haunting which you know,makes sense he is a spirit of agony,the other being mimic ball which ill get to later and gift boxes,call me crazy but,what if RWQ is mimicking the puppet’s actions,that why he helps the children’s spirits,makes sense considering shadow bonnie is a shadow version of TOY bonnie,and the toy animatronics have a relation with the puppet
(Bit of a tangent which i dont believe but could mean shadow freddy is possessing the blob from fnaf security breach and shadow bonnie is the thing controlling the mimic in the ruins dlc)
You're describing MemoryVictim, whereas ShatterVictim is simply the belief that Dave is split among the leading five animatronics.
Yeah I realized after the fact it lines up with MemoryVictim more so, but ShatterVictim and MemoryVictim aren't exclusive. You can kind of have both at the same time because A) They both reach the same point and B) Even in the theory I kinda imply that it's both. You have him shattering across the animatronics (ShatterVictim) and then also stuff like Toy Chica's beak, Mangle, etc.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 Yeah, I agree. Although, I feel like that should have been clarified more because we don't want the FNAF community to mislabel theories. Very good video though :D
@@beShadows Very true, thank you! I'll try and specify more in the future.

Everbody gangsta till scott cawthon starts transforming into freddy fazbear.
Final Form.
It always brings me back to the first game. Yes, it doesn't have many things Scott wanted to include, but it should provide enough for a basic story. Scott says that theorists were doing good up to FNAF4, where he even says there aren't Easter eggs for people to find. This means people are going way off the basic story.
The box and what he says about it, to me, means "I could've put all the answers here, but would the community even want it?" Think about it, if there's an answer, the interest for this franchise (and even potential financial gains) will drop substantially. All this rests on the unknown lore. He rather have us in doubt, so he decided to keep the box closed. Deep down, we want it closed, too.
FNaF and Doctor Who:Two great fandoms with complicated timelines and history. Don't know why I love both of them, but I do, and I've accepted that. Anyways, great finds overall and I really enjoyed the video. Especially the connections between Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare. Very insightful stuff there about the AIs.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! And yeah, for some off reason Doctor Who and FNaF are the two Fandoms I just can't let go no matter what. Weird mix, and yet, it scratches that itch in my brain.
Finally found a video that shares my interpretation of the original FNAF 1-4 storyline! Even though my view on ShatterVictim is a little different than yours, I understand where you're coming from.
Anyways, great video dude!
Thank you!
The thing I always never understood is why everyone insists there's only one bite. Pizza Sim can occasionally have a lawsuit over someone else being bitten. The TV implies 4 takes place around '83.
I think initial theories are correct from 2. The nightshift guard turned dayshift got bitten and lost his frontal lobe. Whether or not that was actually Eggs Benedict is besides the point, it's supposed to happen at that time.
While Crying Child (Dave?) was lost much earlier, clearly, because he did NOT survive with his frontal lobe as we can clearly hear and everyone acknowledges.
It could also have been a noodle incident with no attachment to the lore, and dayshift guard witnessed it instead of being the cause of it, and none of it matters as Freddy's was closing down anyways so whoever that was just faded into obscurity as "the victim"
Either way, no Mark, that was not the bite of 87. That was one of the events that killed Freddy's before both the MCI and DCI.
Edit; Perhaps it's the catalyst for DCI. Either staritng with Suzie to tarnish the reputation further, or Puppet to get back at Henry.
Actually! Fun Fact, the recent interactive novel "The Week Before" heavily implies that the nightguard from FNaF 2 (Jeremy) was the bite victim and that he was basically comatose afterwards, so that's that. I thought most people understood by now that there were two bites, specifically the Bite of 83 and 87. Into the Pit even makes reference to them a few times.
I've believed FNaF is all some sort of a curse from CC's misinterpretations of his surroundings.
I would partly agree!
What if the mangle toy is a take apart toy in the restaurant kids like taking him apart there so when making the toys for these characters they made that a feature.
Is it just me or is this dudes voice actually so cute and good-sounding?
Awww thank you!
Currently my favorite interpretation of fnaf 4 is joedoughboi's "forgotten" theory. I think it makes the most sense when looking at the box, the identity of the fredbear plush, and the protagonist of the 4th game. It also makes fnaf 3 make more sense to me
The problem with shatter victim is it's literalizing the dream theory and making it real. It's not really addressing things, it's moreso deliberatly trying to make it not a dream but it can't get away from the idea that the games are influenced by what the child sees/saw. Deep down that's what these games are about, chuckie e cheese/showbiz animatronics are scary to kids. That's the idea that fnaf 4 was directly playing with.
I do think scott gave up on dream theory, a lot of people see dream endings as a cop out but honestly "it was never real" is never a deflating concept to me, because all of these fiction stories aren't real. What matters is how it was told and I think scott succeeded in that, mostly. Shatter theory may be the explanation for the game *now*.
You know, that's a fair point. I said in my video that ShatterVictim and Dream Theory share a lot of points/evidence/details, and I still think that's true. I think the difference is that I personally believe ShatterVictim WAS the intention of FNaF 4 even when the game first came out, and I think Dream Theory is what most of the community interpreted instead of ShatterVictim.
To be fair, it's not a surprise that we all collectively came to Dream Theory back then. Dream Theory is a really solid interpretation for FNaF 4. But even Scott said that Dream Theory wasn't the right answer; in one of his posts he affirmed that "nobody, not a single person, figured out the story of the game" (referring to FNaF 4.)
So yeah! I don't think it's necessarily "Scott gave up on Dream Theory" or retconned it, I just think Dream Theory was never Scott's intention to begin with.
You know, i have never heard of shattered victim, but that theory fits right in with the new lore presented in "the week before"
TWB makes a point of every animatronic saying "it's me" not only golden freddy. That could very well imply how the shattered victim theory is indeed the intended solution. As of now, that's one weird detail most of the community hasn't been able to put together
Intriguing details about FNAF4:
**Fredbear Plush** - The eyes don’t appear when he is outside the house. Another important detail: Fredbear Plush only appears around the pizzeria, but never inside.
**"He HATES you"** - This phrase seems to reference Michael. Michael hates his "brother." He locked him in the room and left him alone at Fredbear's.
**Endoskeletons** - Is the Crying Child locked in a room with a dead child? Is that why the head and right arm aren’t on the animatronic?
**TextColors** - Fredbear Plush speaks for all the animatronics, as if its soul is in all of them.
**MusicBox** - There is a sound playing in the background when the animatronics are saying goodbye to the Crying Child.
Apologies for the mistakes.
Some interesting stuff! You bring up an interesting point about the Fredbear plush; when you see it in the storm drain or in the flower, it's eyes aren't glowing. However, the Fredbear plush you see at the playground DOES have the glowing eyes.
Most likely that isn't a dead child, probably just wires sticking out of the suit.
I don't know about it's "soul" being in all of them. More likely Fredbear plush is just an imaginary friend conjured by the Crying Child; the Crying Child mentions earlier in the game that he sees the Freddy's characters as his "friends", but he's terrified of the animatronics themselves.
Interesting theory I myself got the same idea. This was probably the original intend of the story
Yep! I agree!
If Jeremy is cassies dad and the Bonnie bully It explains why shadow Freddy followed him too.
That depends on if you think that passage from the Survival Logbook is actually Jeremy, because it says it's a "prompt" given by the book itself. But I'd say it's possible!
Nice theory man keep it up
Thank you!
In the prologues of the books, it's implied that Golden Freddy has two souls; The fifth kid and 'the one you shouldn't have killed.'
They both fight for control. and they even briefly have to share their vessel with Afton himself. He eventually leaves on his own, so perhaps while Afton was using Golden Freddy to DCI, that's when he learned about souls possessing metal and went back to where it all began to disassemble the first four to see how they ticked. And used being Springlocked to that advantage
I know GoldenDuo is another popular consensus for what might've happened to the Crying Child (Dave), but personally I don't think Stitchwraith is necessarily a Golden Freddy parallel. You are right though, that is what happens in the Stitchwraith Stingers. It's also possible that's why Afton dismantled the original four, though I personally believe in MoltenMCI.
The safe rooms are closed after Afton is spring locked
14:10 (Miles Morales eating image) why do people say "MCI Incident"? The I stands for "Incident".
@@clowdyglasses True
Afton couldn’t have used the fredbear suit since there’s already a child Inside
Mmm, that's assuming the child body is still in there during FNaF 2. It's possible the body was removed, especially if Retrofit theory is true.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 I initially read that as "Reddit Theory" and was like "...bro what?!" XD
@@legoboy7107 But that's a theory...a REDDIT THEORY!!!
I really like those models in the background idk why
It’s Golden Freddy making Micheal have hallucinations. Golden Freddy has been doing this since day 1.
That's ignoring the fact that Nightmare is literally called Shadow Freddy in the game files; and the Shadows are inferred to be creatures born of Agony.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 isn’t nightmare just the agony of golden Freddy aka the crying child? He and William are the only ones who were killed by animatronics which is the reason why they have agony recreations (springtraps model wasn’t created yet that’s why his shadow looks like toy Bonnie and is also the reason golden Freddy changes models).
In the game files of FNaF 4 Nightmare is directly specified to be named "Shadow Freddy" as opposed to just "Nightmare" or something simple. CC and William aren't the only ones who were killed by animatronics either, I mean, literally Phone Guy in the first game was too. If everyone who died to an animatronic somehow created their own Shadow-y Agony monster then there would be a lot more of those sorts of things.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 i mean they were the only ones killed by non possessed animatronics. Crying Child by the bite of 83 (I cope and still think it’s the bite of 87) and William by getting spring locked. Since they were so uniquely gruesome they had agony recreations (shadow animatronics).
Hmmm, I see your point, but that's inferring that the Shadow Animatronics apparently exist via pseudo-time travel (or rather, they don't obey the laws of Time.) Because we see Shadow Bonnie in FNaF 2 of course, but Afton's springlocking happens years later.
I think the Crying Child’s name is Dave
Same! HyperDroid's video came out while I was making this video so I couldn't use his name in it.
The toys had toys that were based of the carnival fall fest 1979
Sounds about right.
I’m vary convinced the one retcon is about the mci news paper
Sense it can’t be Charlie sense that statement was made before the Charlie retcon in Pizza sim
So i think it’s the whole news paper on how the MCI happens
Mostly that there was an arrest and how the kids going missing in a set of 2 and then 3
Sense most mci versions are shown as 5 kids going missing at once not in different groups
Tot chica is missing her beak for a reason, the toys are connected, why would they show you those kids tho, surely not just for Dave's birthday, the child with the toy chica toy, IS the one possessing toy chica
Ehhh, maybe? The children you're talking about were freed at the end of FNaF 2 when the Toys were scrapped, they wouldn't be around anymore.
@TheDoctorIsIn101 at the end of fnaf 2... yeah? That doesn't debunk what I just said...
Kinda thought everyone moved on from dream theory
You'd be surprised
underrated nice vid
Thank you!
36:50
See. This is the part I just fail to grasp. This heavily implies that SL takes place after fnaf 1 since the souls from the MCI/Fnaf 1 animatronics are injected into the SL Animatronics. But it doesn't really make sense, as William should be Sprintrapped after he destroys all the animatronics for the remannt. Also, the whole thing of Michael getting fired for odor makes way more sense if SL takes place before FNaF 2 since he's a rotting corps. If anything, the '87 DCI victims would make more sense to become the SL Animatronics in my opinion, as the Toys could just be their criminal database ai for them acting weird.
Yeah, that's always been the issue with the MoltenMCI theory--and to be fair, it really is a glaring issue. If I actually had to place my bets on it, I think MoltenMCI is that "one retcon" Scott Cawthon mentioned awhile ago. I think the original idea was that the MCI souls WERE freed in Happiest Day, but because the series continued after that he retconned it so that they became the Funtimes and, eventually, Ennard.
Generally how it's explained is that after Afton takes apart an animatronic each night (for example, he dismantles Freddy on Night 1 then another animatronic on Night 2.) After he does he takes them back to his bunker and smelts their metal down to inject their Remnant into the Funtimes. He goes back to Freddy's on the 5th night to either A) dismantle Golden Freddy or B) Just find more metal to scrap in general, and that's when the children souls pop up to attack him and, of course, he gets springlocked.
As for the DCI being the Funtimes, yeah, that would've been better--but there's no evidence for it, especially because we know the Toys were scrapped by the company at the end of FNaF 2.
@TheDoctorIsIn101 That would make sense I guess. If he returned for the fifth time, for Golden Freddy perhaps, and failed to dismantle him, maybe that could be why GF is in the UCN cutscene as he may not have been freed. Then again, there were 5 ghosts. Idk. It's just the one part of the timeline that I feel isn't established enough. And they just keep adding more lore to conflict other things. IE the security log book.
"Also, the whole thing of Michael getting fired for odor makes way more sense if SL takes place before FNaF 2 since he's a rotting corps." It really doesn't, though, it just provides a connection at the expense of logic. The idea that a walking corpse is going around getting jobs has always been a dumb one. FNAF can get kinda goofy yes, but not to those levels of borderline parody. It makes way more sense that the only job he ever got after SL was with Henry, for obvious reasons. Yes, that also means he wasn't at Fazbear's Fright, which is what I now believe.
@@hannahjensen3948 I do agree that the odor thing is something people take way too seriously. It really doesn't make sense. However, I'm still on the fence on whether or not Mike worked at Fazbear's Fright. I definitely see the argument for Hudson, it's valid, however I think there's a good argument for Mike as well. I recently did a video involving Sister Location's placement and I bring that up in it if you wanna check that out :) (Shameless plug go brrr)
What if shadow Bonnie and shadow Freddie are the mimic?
Guys Mike is the CC and the box contains evidence of his resurrection. Their lore complete
The rest of this post is the hefty amounts of evidence on this
Fnaf4
-the Fnaf 1 phone call, Chica missing her beak and all the other references points to CC being the nightguard in Fnaf 1-3 probably relieving his memories(why Chica is missing her beak, 4 games one story)
-the day minigames are done in the style of the Atari. Which if you didn’t know the Atari system was created by the same person who created the Chuck E. Cheese animatronics and every Atari minigame so far was in the perspective of the animatronics. So perhaps the CC seeing his memories like this has significance
- the nightmare animatronics are more human then the rest. For one they breathe, have five fingers and Nightmare himself seems to have some form of anatomy with his own brain. A very odd detail? Why would a child fear some kind of humanoid robot design along with anatomy
-again the dream parts of Fnaf 4 contain children’s toys and your character is 3 feet tall and we see hospital equipment etc. I wouldn’t even know the mental gymnastics you would have to do to relate this to Foxybro
-Fredbear is most likely the puppet. It was the only spirit that we know that existed during Fredbear’s time, and Scott put out two teasers that correlates the Puppet to a yellow bear plus the circular white eyes. Coincidentally this character is well known for giving life
-the motivation for the CC to be the nightguard is he sees the animatronics as his friends thanks to Plushbear associating the two. Hence why the nightguard would come back each night and why he has a incentive to help the spirits be free in Fnaf 3
-The box dialogue of “perhaps something’s are best left forgotten” makes it seem the box contains something the player character does not want to find out. as in evidence he was unalived and came back to life.
-Further elaborated when Scott said the box contains “the pieces put together” and being put together is how the CC is described. So the CC in some form must exist in that box. Hence why the speaker does not want to open it since it proves he is not himself
-
Fnaf world
-we are obviously playing as the possessed animatronics in Fnaf world. Which is why the final boss is called security and is an owl(as in it’s the nightguard on cams and it is also why the original games world map was Atari esque
-the clock ending involves talking to Fredbear to set up the Fnaf 3 Easter egg for the nightguard
-in Fnaf world the clock ending says “we are still your friends” denoting that he is talking to the CC and says “The pieces are in place for you” which were the Fnaf 3 Easter eggs. Connecting the cc to Fnaf 3 nightguard as the nightguard was the one who contributed to Happiest day. Something that cannot be possible if the CC wasn’t the Fnaf 3 nightguard
Sister location
-Scott said the one retcon wasn’t that the story was different just that he tried telling it in a different way
-SL had tons of things that blurred the line from human to robot with the FUNTIMES having a brain and muscle fibers plus the 3 baby heads in the control room
-Also Funtime Freddy refers to you as the Birthday boy? Which the CC was relative to
-and the immortal and the Restless show the vampire has a baby that is not his but is his, maybe this alluded to how Michael came back alive therefore is and not is William’s son
-Another evidence is we don’t know why William sent Michael to the Sister location. But this theory makes it seems to break the news that he is a robot by seeing how his sister turned into one
-Michael in the custom night ending also says “I put her back together” even emphasizing in his voice that he heard this line before. And there is only two people who should know that line with one being Fredbear
-Michael also says “but Their is something wrong with me I should be ded but I’m not” notice how he says something wrong with him as if him existing causes it somehow
-the voice actor for Michael was given instructions to sound broken. We know of one other character that was described as broken
Pizzeria simulator
-our avatar in the slideshow cutscenes is a yellow bear. If we were Foxy bro why not a fox? In fact why is everything that relates to Michael is a bear and not a fox? Probably cause he isn’t Foxybro therefore has no connection to Foxy
-in the Midnight Motorist minigame if mustard man is William Afton, and Foxybro is watching tv then whoever left the house is CC. And the place he went is most likely a Freddy’s location since that is the only locations we have been shown(probably to help his friends)
-in the Fruity Maze game Springbonnie said the girl’s unalived dog is alive. If a dog can become realive why not a human? Of course William could be lying but him having the ability to bring dogs to life is not unbelievable
-in Candy Cadet’s stories he basically says 1 guy sees five things but in order to save 4 of them he must give up 1 of them or lose all five, but he attempts to circumvent this by combining all five into one but fails. This was reference to Henry’s plan and the fifth was Michael
-it would makes sense why Michael wanted to stay in the fire in FFPS. Because he was the fifth animatronic. He needed to be buried with them to end it all. Makes more sense then Michael agreeing to this for no reason
Help wanted
-In Help wanted we are told the game was made through scanned in memories from a circuit board? Given the game is Fnaf 1, Fnaf 2, Fnaf 3, Sister location and Fnaf 4? Who’s memories you think it could be but Michael and the CC, but why would that be on a circuit board? If Michael and or the CC were 100% human? Maybe because they are not
-the Curse of Dreadbear dlc is heavily related to Fnaf 4 and is a spoof of Frankenstein a story about creating life
-also the dlc is called Curse of Dreadbear. Maybe to say the events of Help Wanted was do to the CC in particular?
Security Breach
-Glamrock Freddy who everyone thinks is Michael calls the blob his “friends” something shared by the CC.
-Glamrock Freddy also after fully being upgraded looks a lot like Nightmare Fredbear? His hat and bow tie turn purple, his eyes glows, he gains sharp talons.
-and the Afton family table Easter egg a mother says “I am getting a divorce because you wasted all our money on that closet” Closets like in the book series which pointed to realiving a child
-the secret Michael TV room entrance looks pretty similar to how Charlie’s Ella closet is described and the secret message on the walls sounds like programmed instructions for someone. Perhaps this was Michael’s realiving closet
Miscellaneous
-The security logbook responses in the “How you feel questionnaire” could’ve meant as something for Michael to answer given how some of the questions do starts off on the extreme end for the answers like “I can’t see” with numbers next to them
-The drawing of Fredbear was also under the faded text asking about dreams as if Michael is answering that question
-Michael also makes fun of the Bite of 83. Which if Foxybro was Mike then he would have no guilt in his actions. Something Foxybro did showcase having
-Silver eyes was published pretty close after Fnaf 4 which even being the first book in the series heavily alluded to how Charlie is a robot, and gave her multiple contrary dates of birth along with mentioned that she dressed like Ella a doll and had 4 closets
-Charlie although being a robot exhibited biological functions like eating, drinking, hormones, bleeding, being affected by a device specifically design for a human brain
-in UCN the Freddy and Foxy anime cutscene paints Foxy as Foxybro. Hence why he wears grey and Freddy wants revenge for what Foxy did on his birthday. Freddy also has a flute which is something Michael draws in the logbook
-in the Fazbear Frights one step closer gum guy exhibits a lot of traits with the CC. He ends up afraid of Foxy, he gets hospitalized into a limbo state and he shares a lot with Michael as fishing and chewing gum. Probably something relevant there
-Another thing in Fazbear Frights is To Be Beautiful which involves a robot giving a girl a Twisted one’s chip that makes her look hot. A thing that was very important in making Charlie look human
-the character encyclopedia kept out Michael which I assume is due to the Streissland effect where Scott doesn’t want to say anything to outright confirm this fact
Why Foxybro is Michael
-it explains what happened to Foxybro in Fnaf 4(we had to explain what happen to the CC anyway)
-uh it can’t be the CC cause of age so by process of elimination it is someone with no other indistinguishable characteristics except being older (yea same could be said about Charlie. And she is a robot so that is proof for Mikevictim if anything)
-Cause my fan fiction on how Michael is like wouldn’t work
-Because game theory said so. (Dam got me)
That's a whole ass essay right here

I just finished the video, its crazy after all of this scott said nah :( but i love the outro, do you do SFM or maybe blender?
Scott's remark on the box doesn't necessarily disprove the theory I'd say, it just means that the box in particular is redundant! (Still funny tho.) Also, yes! I do SFM!

Yeah I often watch GTLive in the background when I'm editing or writing scripts, and I always sigh when he brings up Dream Theory as if it were always Scott's intention. Scott even said in that one post about FNaF 4 that NOBODY solved the game when he released it, meaning Dream Theory was definitely not the answer.
@@TheDoctorIsIn101 Exactly, he also said (can't remember exactly where I think in the newer dawko interview) that after fnaf 1 blew up he had plans for up to fnaf 5 being more futuristic so he was definitely intended for fnaf 1-4 on being actual events not just dreams
I think this video would've benefitted if you trimmed out the og videoes' intros and outros, making it more cohesive. And it would warrent your starting disclaimer more then, as its a bit redundant when theres clear evidence this is two videos stitched together through their og intros and outros.
You are totally right, I definitely should've. I never really thought the video would pop off as much as it has, so I didn't think of it. In the future I don't intend to really do what I did here, part of the reason this was split into two parts at all is because I had finished the first half of my script awhile ago but yada yada yada, stuff came up, and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish the second half in one go. But yeah, I do plan on better cohesiveness in the future.
What is shatter victim?
It refers to the theory I talk about in the video! Basically the idea that Crying Child's soul is "shattered" into pieces across the story of FNaF.
Hold up. What was the answer to the box
If you want Scott's actual answer, I recommend watching the interview he did with Dawko.
18 minutes in and i just noticed the tardis in the background 💀 how big of a fan of DW are you? It would be cool to maybe see some DW content? :> also i highly recommend the classic series if you bavent seen it, its a lot but its the ultimate geek challenge

@@TheDoctorIsIn101 jubilee was the one made from an existing book I think, honestly I haven't seen all classic who and Peter Davidson is probably the one I seen least from, and in audio I've only seen the free big finish things and the first free 50 on Spotify, but my best friend is into it too and he buys a lot and we listen to it together!
26:30 so CC was 1 year when he died?
Definitely not, but age is always finicky in FNaF.

I think you need to go to Communication therapist, to be better at making videos. Im not saying it to harm, im just giving good and helpful criticism. Alot of the words i didn't understand because how you say some letters. A lot of letters you saying very badly.
Other then that, Good video. (And you didn't mention what is it "dream theory" even though it sounded like you're about to explain).
I'm sorry you didn't understand what I was saying :( Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about that, my autism affects my speech sadly. I try my best to speak clearly, I even record lines multiple times to hopefully get better takes.
Also, I did explain Dream Theory in the video. It was a theory made by Matpat a long time ago.
@TheDoctorIsIn101 you still can go to therapy...
And in; 00:50 you started explaining what is it and didn't explained. Later on the video you did.
@@Daymondcat If you really think telling someone to go to therapy is "good criticism", you might want to rethink your definition of it. I've worked very hard to speech as clearly as I do, and most people are able to make out what I say. I'm sorry that you're having trouble, but please do not insult my speech. Thank you.
What if toy chica not have her beak is saying that girl become toy chica
Maybe!
So what, the crying child's supposed to be some kind of superior entity that manipulates reality now? because to me this sounds like it summarizes in "kid dies painfully, that means now he's god", don't know how that convoluted mess became "so popular" but great video anyway, it was definetley interenting.
No, he's definitely not God or any sort of powerful. That would suggest he has control over what's happening, he doesn't. He had an agonizing death and lived a short agonizing life. It's just supernatural.
think of it like one of those folklore horror stories where one horrible thing happens and then the spirit of that person starts haunting people and places nearby
@@kreidemadchen7291 Exactly!
(I solved Fnaf 4) that’s what they always say
I'm pretty confident in my conclusion at the very least.
I'm actually confused whether that's MatPat or Dream on the thumbnail...
It's Matpat, don't worry.
