    Theorists, today I'm taking you all the way back… before FNAF Security Breach, before Sister Location, before any of the games that we currently know and LOVE. We’re going back to the inception of Fazbear Entertainment. I’ve recently made a discovery that changes everything… not necessarily a great discovery, I’d maybe go as far as to call it… Mediocre.

      If Orange guy is Afton. We could assume him not being purple means he hasn't become full evil and killed yet. Making Midnight the earliest point in the timeline we have seen in the games. Only thing that's weird with that scene, is the animatronic footprint outside where the kid supposedly ran off.

    @gregarioustable224 Рік тому +89

    W. Chica’s UCN line is iconic. “I was the first, I saw everything.” Many of us assumed that meant she was the first animatronic possessed-and maybe it still does. But what if that means she was the first animatronic built under Afton and Henry’s partnership? She saw their relationship, she saw Afton’s work, she saw it all. When the child comes to possess her, the memories of the robot are passed to the ghost. The ghost saw Afton’s descent and what led him to kill kids.

    • @islaythejabberwokky
      @islaythejabberwokky Рік тому +9

      The static-like robotic quality of Withered Chica's voice line (as opposed to the ghostly whispers behind the characters' voices that indicate Cassidy's speaking through them, or the way Marionette's voice is clearly Charlie's spirit-- reverb effects and all) would support this! It's so unique out of all the lore-heavy lines in that it's purposefully distorted and robotic and without any hint of a child's voice... it makes me think that line was meant to be interpreted differently, like it's less like "dialogue" and more of a hint towards a concept like NightMarione's

    I honestly really love the connections Matt's making with William and Henry's backstory. The question of "Why did William Afton start killing" has ALWAYS bothered me and up until this point the best answer anyone could ever seem to find was that the crying child, his son, had died. And it didn't sit right with me that I had to feel such sympathy for someone who would proceed to kill SO many kids. Knowing it could have started with being jealous of Henry just sits with me better.

      Yes! You're speaking about Chica's Party World, which was a separate location likely created after Henry's disappearance. I wanna say that Afton had full control over all the animatronics. While he may have hated Henry's creations(because he hated Henry and GF for takin Crying Child lol), he could have used Chica's popularity to create a side location called "Chica's Party World" so he could gain more money and have another murder den. It is perfectly plausible that Chica originated within the Melodies and then Afton later uses her design to create his own version of her, like we see he does with the design shown in Ultimate Custom Night. In this theory, Afton hated and loved his rival, so it makes sense that he pays homage to his idol by recreating and using his creation and giving it her own location.

    This feels like such an interesting detail that has remained consistent throughout the series despite us neglecting to realise it.

    I feel *SO VALIDATED* knowing the ultimate FNAF Theorist was also questioning Afton's motive. During all the chatter of robot kids and who really may be dead, once small part of my brain was always like "We don't even know why William kills Charlie! Who cares about Gregory!"
    It does seem...unlikely to me that that is his entire motive though. We seem him gleefully smile when Foxy runs to the room of kids he just murdered. The ball pit story has William excited to show everyone the kids he killed. He enjoys killing. I think it goes deeper than just jealousy. Why would he build the Funtimes or Baby if all he wanted was to live out a revenge against Henry? I think somewhere along he discovers the power of agony, maybe even seeing Henry's outpour of agony like in the books when Charliebot is created, and aims to create a place filled with agony. But that still doesn't feel like we've reached the end of the story. What was his overall goal in continously killing kids in the franchise buildings? Why does he want his cult? There is exactly one key piece missing, and it's driving me nuts.

I know it’s always been weird with how “I was the first, I’ve seen everything” but it always seemed a weird choice having that be chica and not a more central animatronic.

    Overall, I was still confused with most of the story and such with how things worked, only still remembering that kids were killed, stuffed into suits, and possessed the animatronics, done by a crazy murderous purple guy, but this theory perfected all those motives and reasons and thoughts so well!
    It's somehow literally bringing me back to the days of early FNAF, where we only needed to assume who the motives of animatronics and Purple Guy were. The simplification is astounding!

    I have a theory that could further explain Aftons motive. In the video, Mat Pat has concluded that Henry had his own style of making the animatronics using the up and down pistons in their mouths. There is one other animatronic that has this function, and that Animatronic is Fredbear. In fnaf 4’s pizzeria, When the crying child is about to be bitten, we see that Fredbears Jaw mechanism works and looks exactly like lefty’s, which we know is made by Henry. This could explain why Afton wants revenge on Henry, Henry’s creation took the life of Williams Child. And so William did the same thing to Henry.

    I have a theory about Henry's "X-factor". Maybe his animatronics were so life-like and seemingly magical because he (unintentionally) imbued each one with a small piece of his own soul. Literally putting his heart and soul into his work. Afton was unable to recreate Henry's work because he lacked the passion and soul that Henry had for his craft. In his frustration and jealousy, Afton kills Henry's daughter. But afterwards he recognizes that somehow Charlie's soul has possessed the Puppet. Then everything clicks, he realizes that what was missing was soul (remnant) and begins killing children in an attempt to harvest souls for his animatronics, all in a desperate attempt to match Henry's magic touch.

He just leaves the body, doesn't stuff it into anything either, and he does it right out of his car. Every other victim we know was lured by him in costume.

      William's original company was probably Chica's party world and then Henry's was Fredbear's diner. Edit: I forgot the idea was that the melodies were a Henry thing, swap the two around. Killing Charlotte was probably a hot blooded crime like the theory suggests, and then seeing the puppet come to life afterwards became his golden ticket to one-upping Henry. William's would be better because they were literally alive. Hence why the funtimes are made with remnant and have the goal of collecting more.
      This also leads into my thoughts about the new owner of Fazbear Entertainment, and why they built the pizza plex. And in particular why there are so many gosh dang endos there. Whoever is running the company found out about the remnant bringing animatronics to life and how realistic they become. Their goal is to make the best Entertainment on the face of the Earth. Mass producing entertainers who aren't just representations of iconic characters, but ARE the iconic characters. Imagine going to Disneyland and meeting the real Mickey Mouse, or finding actual Luke Skywalker. That is what new Fazbear Entertainment wants. No matter how many children have to die to make it happen.

He blamed Henry’s designs for his sons death, (couples with jealousy over Henry’s gift of robot creation) and in a spiteful rage killed his daughter for his ultimate revenge, unknowing it was going to send him down a dark spiral…

      I was thinking the same thing !! What if the all the mediocre melodies including chica saw everything and couldnt say anything till cassidy gave them a voice while chica got stuffed and used her ghost voice to say what she remembered. Kinda like the animatronics saw and retained what happened but couldn’t say it cuz the lacked the voice. Or something like that🤷🏾‍♀️

      I'm thinking she was the second one, but the first after Henry's daughter. William would have taken his victims in an descendant order of how much they made him remember of Henry's work. That's why Charlie was the first, because she was Henry's daughter, while Susy was the second, because she reminded him of Chica. This also explains why William didn't want to preserve Funtime Chica with the rest of the Funtimes

    I don’t think every villain needs a reason to be evil ( sometimes it’s just fun watching someone be evil for the sake of evil, especially when they get beaten by the hero in the end) but you’re right in how it explains Afton’s motives for the series. Also makes Henry calling him ‘old friend’ at the end of Pizzeria Simulator actually kinda sad. Henry thought of them as actual friends but in the end they just ended up hurting each other. William more than Henry since most of the things that happened to him are his own fault.

      It might also explain why there was a wolf animatronic instead of Chica. The twisted creatures were William’s creations and he stayed with his theme of forest animals. Excluding Chica being part of Henry’s barnyard themed animals.

    Consider this, the battery packs was Henry, but afton wanted them to be smaller . so he made them like a disk, something smaller to fit into the animatronic itself. While he was at it he put in a device that would lure children from there family's . I believe that holodisks were around much longer than we realize. Anyway, Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

  • @TheAquaAuthor
    @TheAquaAuthor Рік тому +216

    The Golden Fredbear animatronic from 1983 has the designs used by Henry and is responsible for the death of William Afton's youngest son, the crying child. Even if it was caused by the actions of Afton's son, it is still possible to hold a grudge on someone who designed the thing that killed his son. Unless I'm missing something, this seems like an important additive to the motive category.

      Especially considering MatPat did a theory a while back on how Fredbear would have had to have been designed to kill in order to be able to have crushed the Crying Child's head. The hydraulic pumps in its jaw would not have been strong enough otherwise. So it's definitely suspicious

    • @romanfrancis1232
      @romanfrancis1232 Рік тому +3

      Well that would depend on who you think died first, Charlie or Afton's kid, still could work as a motive for why he'd keep killing at Freddy's though. Personally, I like the idea of the crying child being the first important death in the series since I like the irony of his fear of the animatronics being mainly unfounded, and then all his fears come to life because he died.

    • @superzombiezach8674
