A brainblast I recently had was, “There’s a special kind of evil that can go into a place where children are full of joy and want to cause them harm.” That kind of evil has a lasting impact, and more than anything that is what FNAF’s story is about. It’s why I get frustrated with people saying they’re tired of hearing about “kids that died 30 years ago” and want to move on from Afton as the villain. It’s not just grief. It’s the hurt that is bleeding out and causing all of this.
@@VoidBornHumanwelp thank you for making me think that after all this time and a lot of game theorists videos. Afton is literally just a killer fursuit wearing furry who always comes back wearing another rabbit fursuit

"I am agony." Localized agony is often felt like a legend, and legends always come back. Afton, the embodiment of agony in every way imaginable, despite all the horrific things he's done in his life and despite everything he's done to the lives of other people, is truly the embodiment of legend. His agony, the power he held in blood stained iron for countless unspoken years despite it fizzling out pathetically at the bottom of a lake, is felt in every facet of life because of the horrific desperation and continual spread of the infectious wonder he created. Fazbear Entertainment, where fantasy and fun truly do come to life. Truly a realized antagonist when given a presentation such as this. Great job Ozone.
Wow, what a great way to put it! I really loved the addition of agony as a scientific term to the series because it gives reason and narrative behind haunted things. When Afton says he is the very concept of Agony, he is the past trauma he has inflicted, he is all of his pain of the present and he is the reason many will be infected in the future. That was such an overlooked scene that really delves deep into the core themes of the franchise, I'm glad I was able to present it!
Here's the Thing. William Afton really isn't a "human" anymore. He is a Metaphysical Concept, the kind that Exist the way Demons or Angels are thought to. The backbone that Haunts Freddy, whether Literally or Metaphysically. And that is, perhaps, Why The Mimic would try to copy him, if that is what they are doing.

I'm glad to see more appeeciation for afton's trash monster form and his "I am Agony" line. One of my favorite moments from him for sure, doubly so if we don't count glitchtrap stuff.
Actually, Sister Location does have a Springtrap version, Dark Springtrap shows up at the end of the custom night. Scott confirmed that he is his own variant of William, on the same level as Springtrap and Scraptrap.
I wish he kept a variant of dark springtrap around for fnaf 6, some sort of fucked up damaged version of springtrap, but all we got was a differently fucked up version of springtrap
I love Silver Eyes William and Twisted Ones Springtrap because it highlights William's recurring drive throughout everything he appears in. His primary motivations seem to be cowardice... and jealousy. He targets children simply because they can't fight back. When he's forced to confront the world as his truest self laid bare, he has a mental shutdown and just refuses to speak, and barely even moves until he's given a new mask to hide behind. But when he wears those masks, being the literal Spring Bonnie or the metaphorical David Miller, it gives him the confidence to confront things. At the core of it, it seems his greatest dilemma is that William Afton desperately _does not want to be William Afton_ . Because he's afraid of the consequences. Afraid of the horrors hes created and what they'll do to him. Of death. However, after Charlie unhooks his springlocks... He _adores_ it. The agony of existing like that is nothing to him, because he is still there. And thats where the jealousy comes in. Seeing those he killed being given new life, life he felt he deserved, probably broke him in some way when he put the pieces together. He saw a way to be immortal... But the only way to achieve it was to put himself through pure suffering. And while he will accept any price for immortality, he ironically can't stomach the simplest solution he has the most control over after his first time surviving the springlock failure and likely being traumatized by it. So when he has the choice made FOR him, he becomes so much more himself. He's literally rotting away and yet he has never felt so alive. He has a face that can't be removed. He has a body that will never die. He has everything he wants to continue his life unabated. That seems to come into play the most in the finale to Fazbear Frights epilogues as well. William was a weak man. A coward who killed children to derive pleasure and power. Who couldn't save his own family from falling apart even when he was trying to be a decent man, let alone when he was trying to seek power. One who had been laid low by the very children he killed after unwittingly making them more powerful than he ever imagined they could be. But now, he wasn't that anymore. He was a titan. A writhing monument to his own legacy of terror, pain, and conquest. It's little wonder "Afton" and "Agony" have the same number of letters to them.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 He's literally a generic supervillain whose motive is one big noncommittal shrug in the games. Book Afton is lively, has an actual motive and a more generally consistent personality that is only ruined by an attempt to make him more like the one in the games.
@galaxycamerata So, his plan being mysterious and being the calm sociopath is worse than being a generic Joker crazy guy in the books? Yeah, that makes total sense.
@galaxycamerata I get it. You must have a hard on for his poses in the graphic novel. It's alright being Gay man. Coming out of the closet is alright now but keep your emotional attachments to yourself and don't mistake it for actual critique okay?
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475he's not given much character in the games besides the sl and ffps voicelines which isn't enough for a whole personality. The movies and novels (more so sliver eyes) where he's more of a actual character then a plot device.
I'm happy that someone else remembers how great William from Fazbear Frights is, maybe epilogue 7 wasted a lot, but the story of the man in room 1280, and the epilogue and in general the whole mystery that builds up around it about him, it's great and one of the best things in the entire franchise
Great video of analyzing William Afton. This is certainly why he's one of my favorite villains. A purple man finding his way to live through the afterlife and with his main goal having a family that obeys him and not to be confronted for any of his misdeeds on both life and death at all cost. Even if it means making his own family with animatronics and becoming one himself as well as suffering and loving forever. His portrayal in FNaF2, FNaF3, the Novels, Frights and movie are very enjoyable to me. The Man Behind The Slaughter who will achieve anything he wants, a man whose head is filled with illusions/delusions of what he dreamed of. It's evident that Afton is a horrible person as he deserves to be in own nightmare-hell and suffering he gotten. He's definitely a narcissistic coward who thinks he's better than everyone else. However, he's still a good villain and his motivations are understandable. He also has a good voice and good voice lines which I like are "It is not your flesh that sustains me. It is your fear", "Suffer now, like all who stood before me", "Let see how many times you can be pulled part. And put back together again", "Fascinating. What they have become", "You may not recognize me at first but I assure you, it's still me", and of course "I always come back". I believe that his portrayal in FFPS a was the only thing that I did not find very satisfying and enjoyable. His movie adaptation/version/counterpart is truly how I view him. Matthew did a good job becoming the best version of William. He acted so clam and intelligent to Mike but then at the end when he revealed his true colors/personality, he's a very cruel and murderous man. I actually like this portrayal of Afton a lot than the games. He appears clear and proper to me these days.
You make a very vital point on what a legacy is in this context. If a legacy comes from a person or character, who and what they are gets interpreted a lot of ways. It's kinda like how legends and tales get various interpretations from different authors. Hearing you go over each medium clicked with me that they are all different tellings of the same story. But the alternate scenarios not only shows us what others [characters] might see in this 'story', they add something and show us a wider collective perspective. To compare, the games and the original three novels are deeply entrenched within the story of William. Both continuities have William's iron grip as he's always an active threat in some fashion. Where they differ is how the characters react with how William is presented by the story. The games show the rise and downfall of William; his claim of power (Fnaf1-SL), his entrapments and defeats (Fnaf3-PizzaSim-UCN), and the flandering and diluting of his legacy (HW-Ruin). The games show how a tragic story becomes butchered with the progress of time and skewed perspective of the public by Fazbear Entertainment. The original novels display the coping of loss and reopening of old wounds. The Silver Eyes starts as a recovery from this tragedy but everything following onwards to The Twisted Ones and The Fourth Closet display how tragedy and trauma is brought back in the worst case scenario by having William as a returning and active threat. And this is felt until the very end of the third book. The original novels are a case of failure to recover by having the very cause of it return and make everything worse in the end. On the other hand, both book anthologies lean towards the widespread aftershocks of William. They all lean towards the obscurity, the tall tales, the gossip and rumors of what he did. And sure, he does act as an active threat in sporadic cases, but it's only a piece of the larger puzzle. Fazbear Frights does a fantastic job showing this, having multiple stories show how buried the story became, only being vaguely heard of when one goes down the rabbithole. And I also love that we see a variety of characters that get affected by these aftershocks, whether they were linked to the Fazbear name or not, looking for answers or otherwise. But nearly all of the characters we see in those novella stories were innocent people, unrelated to what occurred back then. It's crazy to think that this man's actions were so catastrophic, they hurt unknowing people decades beyond that. Tales from The Pizzaplex goes more into the flanderization side of legacy. So much so, I don't think William's name is ever outright spoken [correct me if I'm wrong on this, I haven't read Dittophobia or the last Epilogue just yet]. There's still the burial of the story like in Frights, but here we get to see how corrupted it became once the Pizzaplexes took over. This lures even more unsuspecting people into the trap is is still the aftershocks of the original story. And it's fascinating and heartbreaking to see characters who are brand new to the Fazbear name get roped in and punished for getting too close to something they never knew existed. Both of these anthologies will always be based in my eyes, flaws aside. Finally, the film is a bit trickier to tell as it's currently ongoing, so some details aren't known yet. But it looks like it's going in a route similar to the original novels with reopening old wounds, but it differs with the direct victim, Mike, refusing anything in life that isn't closure to his pain. Kind of a vengeance story, I guess? This may be a hot take, but I think the film is more focusing on character study instead of arbitrary lore tie-ins, which is nice. Seeing the start of Mike and Vanessa's arcs in search of closure is a very cool opposite to the novels. The film, so far, shows how someone with direct ties to the story chooses to face it directly and won't feel at peace until there's solid closure. I have the least to say here because I'm still mulling over it in my head and it's an unfinished story right now, but I really like this direction they're potentially heading to. If anyone has there two cents on the film, I'd like to hear it out! Bottom line is that William Afton's legacy is felt everywhere in all continuities. The original story is taken in a multitude of ways based how story presentation and who's eyes we see them through. I personally don't think it matters if the other stories don't follow the original story to the letter. In my opinion, every official interpretation we've seen up until know shows us how the world within the Fnaf universe sees William Afton at large. Always being remembered means he always come back. Sorry for the long winded comment, I thought your analysis was fantastic here, Ozone!
Great Video, was really enjoyable! Even tho I perfectly believe that Burntrap is the Mimic, can't help but love the memes of Afton(Burntrap) in a wheelchair.
I heard in the fourth closet that immortal Remnant doesn't get destroyed by fire it gets powered by it William said it power fuels it powers fuels agony pain death souls that immortal remnants to Also William is Immortal cuz of immortal remnants souls agony pain death ect.
and since immortal remnants is agony pain death and William in agony pain death then William gets immortal cuz of agony death itself that make him more immortal powerful live eternity Afton family missing children ect to Also William is ghost Immortal remnant soul agony and William wanted to be immortal did all this for immortality in the first place that's why he comes back because he's Immortal also William survive the FNAF 3 fire after and became scraptrap in FNAF 6 to.
Dude!!! This is a really good video, I absolutely adore FNaF video essays! I always spend time watching videos like these while im working on my own FNaF related projects as it serves as inspiration, but also just as something nice to listen to in the background! For so long, I've known about the Miscreation or "The Agony" character in the books. I always joked around about him just appearing and then dying shortly after and being essentially a waste of a character in my eyes. But once you fully described the scene where Afton blows up in the Fazbear's storage place and infects things and eventually becomes the Agony I got new love for that version of Afton and really the end of his story. Weirdly enough aswell, I have talked to my friends about how even when Afton is gone- he still affects the story with his legacy, though I couldn't really put it into the right words on why that's the case- But I feel like you really described it well and pictured it in this video! Anyway, fantastic video Ozone! Excited to see whatever else you cook up! :>
Thank you so much!! I myself struggled to put a lot of this into words, part of the reason it took so long to make. I kinda wish Afton didn't just appear for one scene and then die off forever but at the same time as you say it's kinda bitter-sweet and even though I believe he is truly gone, his impact on the story going forward is huge. Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
This video is incredible, the editing and presents is on point. Just wanted to come in and say that apparently LadyFiszi confirmed that the FNAF 6 alleyway drawing that supposedly referenced the Afton family, was not meant to have any relevance to the lore, it was not actually a reference.
This is a really excellent video essay, you covered things very thoroughly. Good job! I appreciated how you approached Glitchtrap - who is still a mystery but linked to Afton by many. I'm of the opinion that its an AI/Mimic version of Afton and he behaves like a virus/interdimentional being, infecting humans and bots alike personally. I really like Afton's characterisation in TFC. Looking forward to reading FF to see how William is characterised there -I've only recently started reading them. It seems like the books flesh him out quite nicely.
Thank you so much! I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about William's characterisation in the trilogy but what I will say is I think most people really like the character we see in the Frights series. He's not there for that long, but I'm sure you'll really enjoy it!
I think it's funny how we just accepted that William Afton was, or at least always wore, purple. It's something I call the Afton/O'hara thesis, where they're colored one way to avoid all the monochrome colors blending together, but then they're just associated with that color.
Well I believe that Glitchtrap is a copy of the mimic01 Programm (Not the original mimic01 Programm), and got Williams memories and personality from springtraps cyrcetboard, which makes him or it bassicly to william, just without his soul.
You are right kind of.The Mimic is implied to have seen the Missing children's incident so the memory part is kind of right but the Springtrap thing is not.For all we know right now the only surviving parts of William exploded and Scraptrap was completely destroyed in the Fire
@@TheJonkler1 well when I think about it you are right, but it could also be, that springtrap was like in the twisted ones connected to some sorth of system and that this system was scanned into the vor game.
The one thing i would change about the movie aftion is have him say "I Will Come Back" and not "I Always Come Back" they give the same idea and shows that he knows something the heroes dont. And it doesn't take you out of the moment dew to the game line
but it ties back to him already surviving one springlock failure before the movie, just like in the novels and probably the games and as indicated by the scars he has on his neck
Funnily enough, I had a theory of the exact same title and idea as this one in the works. Back to the drawing board ig. Edit: I watched the full video, and I have to say, great job!
Something I think would be cool for springtrap is what if he had mold and mushroom/fungus growing on his body where he’s damaged and has holes and missing parts and not only that but he could somewhat control them and even cause them to spread, the mushrooms could be bioluminescence glowing purple and whenever he uses his mold it can infect and corrupt a person both physically and mentally.
I like how in the Fazbear Frights books, William takes too many forms. He is a fixed up spring Bonnie on the other side of a time-traveling ball pit. He’s a piece of VR code who makes a man pregnant. In the story right after that, he’s a crippled “corpse” who isn’t allowed to die. He’s a broken down spring Bonnie in the Fazbear’s Fright horror attraction who copies someone’s abusive stepfather and makes them die in an oven fire. He comes back, and he comes anew.
This encapsulates so much of my own opinions. Originally I wanted to make a video such as this myself over at @FunBunn but now I think ill just link yours. I do still plan to make a video like "William Afton: The Most Misunderstood Character" because its true in the way hes been getting flanderized in ways where people think he loves his own kids and such but i will definately also shout out your video because thus covers his mentality within himself.
Make the video! It's always interesting to see how other people understand the same character and I know for sure that many people are way better at wording their thoughts on topics like these. I'm glad to hear you share some of the same thoughts as me :)
I'm of the same opinion that Mimic took over Afton's personality. Therefore, he was still the main villain in Pizzaplex. Because if Mimic simply cosplayed Afton, then this ruins the image of Glitchtrap, as (in my opinion) the analogy with the Green Goblin due to the fact that it was just another masquerade of some no-name.
@@dylanhudec979 I massively enjoyed this video and agreed with a whole lot of it, but I have to push back hard on the Mimic being testifying because it's a "forced of nature." No it's not. "The Purple Guy" was scary because he was a mystery, we didn't know anything about him, we were left with only some confirmations and the rest was our own imagination, like an urban legend. As Afton's novelty wore off, so did his terror, with Fnaf6 being sadly one of his weakest appearances (Pizza Sim is absolutely GOATED don't misunderstand me, Afton just isn't uniquely terrifying at that point.) Mimic AI ISNT scary because there isn't anything TO know about it. It mimics. That's... literally it. It has no motivation, no desire, no overarching goal. Sure it's unpredictable, but only in the way a thunderstorm is: Can it be terrifying? Absolutely. Is it going to haunt my nightmares, keep me awake at the memory of it, and try restlessly to grapple with the existence of evil in this world and its effects on us as human beings? Probably not. Tl;Dr, if everything is Mimic then Mimic ceases to be scary
Things I think would be cool for William afton in a future game (though these are very unlikely to ever happen). 1. A sequel of ultimate custom night that focuses more on psychological horror as we follow William afton trying to survive and escape his personal hell while avoiding golden Freddy and the mediocre melodies who Cassidy has turned into her avatars and in new forms, and the game could also have us Better learn about William and his dark past. 2. A fnaf game that’s set in a newer version of the fazbear frights horror attraction called the ultra horrorplex (bigger, better and scarier than ever), and the main attraction is none other than William afton himself in a new trap form, but rather than being a threat (whether by choice or perhaps by memory loss) he no longer tries to kill people and instead focuses on trying to take done fazbear entertainment llc.
I feel like the line “I always come” back holds a lot of meanings. When he first dies and comes back it’s to show how Afton refuses to let go. The souls of the children find peace and learn to let go of the past but Afton won’t. He refuses to which is why no matter what he’ll always be a killer. In fnaf 6 it’s to show how he’ll always come back to haunt Michael. When Michael was a teen William tortured him with fear gas to break his mind, he tries to kill Michael in fnaf 3, and now we see him once again unable to let go. In UCN Cassidy uses Aftons quote against him. Since he confidently says that he always comes back Cassidy constantly kills him and brings him back over and over again. And lastly the mimic. Even though Afton is stuck in purgatory or has moved on to hell depending on what you believe, his metaphorical spirit lives on in the mimic. The mimic continues what Afton started. The mimic tortures Vanessa mentally and brings agony upon those he kills and their families just as Afton once did. It doesn’t matter if you think you’ve gotten rid of him. It doesn’t matter if you think he’s dead and gone. It doesn’t matter if you throw him back to the depths of hell itself. He always comes back.
@@dylanhudec979 first off I don’t even know you so of course this comment wasn’t supposed to make you like the mimic. Second I really don’t care if you don’t like the mimic. It’s fine. No one’s trying to make you think differently. I’m just here to express my own thoughts on Afton and also a little bit on the mimic.
The mimic also kills Kids too just more adults, people kinda skim over that too as mimic is probably just as evil as afton by now (less iconic though I guess)
Remnant helps flesh grow back that’s why scrap trap has flesh, he is growing back because of remnant, and mike Schmidt probably looked like a college student because of lore hints which means when yiu have remnant flesh grows back, it’s HEALS you.
Ok this has been rangling in my head each time i hear fnaf 3 in the bad ending we see the heads lit up showing the spirits of the kids still in them including golden freddy, this is second hand proof of MoltenMCI
This comment surely isn't just because I want to boost the algorithm. What? I don't have anything to say. There is nothing here, the video was peak, and we need comments to boost it. Stop looking into this. Fine, you know what? Take a map :D
The movie was not super loved by fans. In fact, as a fnaf fan, I was incredibly disappointed that it catered towards a younger audience. It fails massively as a horror movie, being horribly mediocre. As for the story... meh. Overall mediocre, but too cringey and not scary at all.

So when he has the choice made FOR him, he becomes so much more himself. He's literally rotting away and yet he has never felt so alive. He has a face that can't be removed. He has a body that will never die. He has everything he wants to continue his life unabated.
That seems to come into play the most in the finale to Fazbear Frights epilogues as well. William was a weak man. A coward who killed children to derive pleasure and power. Who couldn't save his own family from falling apart even when he was trying to be a decent man, let alone when he was trying to seek power. One who had been laid low by the very children he killed after unwittingly making them more powerful than he ever imagined they could be. But now, he wasn't that anymore. He was a titan. A writhing monument to his own legacy of terror, pain, and conquest.
It's little wonder "Afton" and "Agony" have the same number of letters to them.
He's literally a generic crazy guy in the books and movie. Game Afton is slow, calculating and methodical.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 He's literally a generic supervillain whose motive is one big noncommittal shrug in the games. Book Afton is lively, has an actual motive and a more generally consistent personality that is only ruined by an attempt to make him more like the one in the games.
@galaxycamerata So, his plan being mysterious and being the calm sociopath is worse than being a generic Joker crazy guy in the books? Yeah, that makes total sense.
@galaxycamerata I get it. You must have a hard on for his poses in the graphic novel. It's alright being Gay man. Coming out of the closet is alright now but keep your emotional attachments to yourself and don't mistake it for actual critique okay?
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475he's not given much character in the games besides the sl and ffps voicelines which isn't enough for a whole personality. The movies and novels (more so sliver eyes) where he's more of a actual character then a plot device.
I'm happy that someone else remembers how great William from Fazbear Frights is, maybe epilogue 7 wasted a lot, but the story of the man in room 1280, and the epilogue and in general the whole mystery that builds up around it about him, it's great and one of the best things in the entire franchise
Great video of analyzing William Afton. This is certainly why he's one of my favorite villains. A purple man finding his way to live through the afterlife and with his main goal having a family that obeys him and not to be confronted for any of his misdeeds on both life and death at all cost. Even if it means making his own family with animatronics and becoming one himself as well as suffering and loving forever. His portrayal in FNaF2, FNaF3, the Novels, Frights and movie are very enjoyable to me. The Man Behind The Slaughter who will achieve anything he wants, a man whose head is filled with illusions/delusions of what he dreamed of.
It's evident that Afton is a horrible person as he deserves to be in own nightmare-hell and suffering he gotten. He's definitely a narcissistic coward who thinks he's better than everyone else.
However, he's still a good villain and his motivations are understandable.
He also has a good voice and good voice lines which I like are "It is not your flesh that sustains me. It is your fear", "Suffer now, like all who stood before me", "Let see how many times you can be pulled part. And put back together again", "Fascinating. What they have become", "You may not recognize me at first but I assure you, it's still me", and of course "I always come back".
I believe that his portrayal in FFPS a was the only thing that I did not find very satisfying and enjoyable.
His movie adaptation/version/counterpart is truly how I view him.
Matthew did a good job becoming the best version of William. He acted so clam and intelligent to Mike but then at the end when he revealed his true colors/personality, he's a very cruel and murderous man. I actually like this portrayal of Afton a lot than the games.
He appears clear and proper to me these days.
You make a very vital point on what a legacy is in this context. If a legacy comes from a person or character, who and what they are gets interpreted a lot of ways. It's kinda like how legends and tales get various interpretations from different authors. Hearing you go over each medium clicked with me that they are all different tellings of the same story. But the alternate scenarios not only shows us what others [characters] might see in this 'story', they add something and show us a wider collective perspective.
To compare, the games and the original three novels are deeply entrenched within the story of William. Both continuities have William's iron grip as he's always an active threat in some fashion. Where they differ is how the characters react with how William is presented by the story. The games show the rise and downfall of William; his claim of power (Fnaf1-SL), his entrapments and defeats (Fnaf3-PizzaSim-UCN), and the flandering and diluting of his legacy (HW-Ruin). The games show how a tragic story becomes butchered with the progress of time and skewed perspective of the public by Fazbear Entertainment.
The original novels display the coping of loss and reopening of old wounds. The Silver Eyes starts as a recovery from this tragedy but everything following onwards to The Twisted Ones and The Fourth Closet display how tragedy and trauma is brought back in the worst case scenario by having William as a returning and active threat. And this is felt until the very end of the third book. The original novels are a case of failure to recover by having the very cause of it return and make everything worse in the end.
On the other hand, both book anthologies lean towards the widespread aftershocks of William. They all lean towards the obscurity, the tall tales, the gossip and rumors of what he did. And sure, he does act as an active threat in sporadic cases, but it's only a piece of the larger puzzle. Fazbear Frights does a fantastic job showing this, having multiple stories show how buried the story became, only being vaguely heard of when one goes down the rabbithole. And I also love that we see a variety of characters that get affected by these aftershocks, whether they were linked to the Fazbear name or not, looking for answers or otherwise. But nearly all of the characters we see in those novella stories were innocent people, unrelated to what occurred back then. It's crazy to think that this man's actions were so catastrophic, they hurt unknowing people decades beyond that.
Tales from The Pizzaplex goes more into the flanderization side of legacy. So much so, I don't think William's name is ever outright spoken [correct me if I'm wrong on this, I haven't read Dittophobia or the last Epilogue just yet]. There's still the burial of the story like in Frights, but here we get to see how corrupted it became once the Pizzaplexes took over. This lures even more unsuspecting people into the trap is is still the aftershocks of the original story. And it's fascinating and heartbreaking to see characters who are brand new to the Fazbear name get roped in and punished for getting too close to something they never knew existed. Both of these anthologies will always be based in my eyes, flaws aside.
Finally, the film is a bit trickier to tell as it's currently ongoing, so some details aren't known yet. But it looks like it's going in a route similar to the original novels with reopening old wounds, but it differs with the direct victim, Mike, refusing anything in life that isn't closure to his pain. Kind of a vengeance story, I guess? This may be a hot take, but I think the film is more focusing on character study instead of arbitrary lore tie-ins, which is nice. Seeing the start of Mike and Vanessa's arcs in search of closure is a very cool opposite to the novels. The film, so far, shows how someone with direct ties to the story chooses to face it directly and won't feel at peace until there's solid closure. I have the least to say here because I'm still mulling over it in my head and it's an unfinished story right now, but I really like this direction they're potentially heading to. If anyone has there two cents on the film, I'd like to hear it out!
Bottom line is that William Afton's legacy is felt everywhere in all continuities. The original story is taken in a multitude of ways based how story presentation and who's eyes we see them through. I personally don't think it matters if the other stories don't follow the original story to the letter. In my opinion, every official interpretation we've seen up until know shows us how the world within the Fnaf universe sees William Afton at large. Always being remembered means he always come back.
Sorry for the long winded comment, I thought your analysis was fantastic here, Ozone!
Great Video, was really enjoyable! Even tho I perfectly believe that Burntrap is the Mimic, can't help but love the memes of Afton(Burntrap) in a wheelchair.
i love the detail that the robot parts making up agony were singing the whole time
he is also fire proof
FNAF AR would say otherwise ;)
@@OzoneYTwell I mean- he is still completely fine under the fire, just like actively burning
HE'S NOW ABSORBING FIRE TO POWER HIM UP
I heard in the fourth closet that immortal Remnant doesn't get destroyed by fire it gets powered by it William said it power fuels it powers fuels agony pain death souls that immortal remnants to Also William is Immortal cuz of immortal remnants souls agony pain death ect.
and since immortal remnants is agony pain death and William in agony pain death then William gets immortal cuz of agony death itself that make him more immortal powerful live eternity Afton family missing children ect to
Also William is ghost Immortal remnant soul agony and William wanted to be immortal did all this for immortality in the first place that's why he comes back because he's Immortal also William survive the FNAF 3 fire after and became scraptrap in FNAF 6 to.
Love this. Perfect video. The months of work were worth it.
Perfection
No such thing as perfection. BUT thank you so much, that makes all of the work worth it.
Dude!!! This is a really good video, I absolutely adore FNaF video essays!
I always spend time watching videos like these while im working on my own FNaF related projects as it serves as inspiration, but also just as something nice to listen to in the background!
For so long, I've known about the Miscreation or "The Agony" character in the books. I always joked around about him just appearing and then dying shortly after and being essentially a waste of a character in my eyes. But once you fully described the scene where Afton blows up in the Fazbear's storage place and infects things and eventually becomes the Agony I got new love for that version of Afton and really the end of his story.
Weirdly enough aswell, I have talked to my friends about how even when Afton is gone- he still affects the story with his legacy, though I couldn't really put it into the right words on why that's the case- But I feel like you really described it well and pictured it in this video!
Anyway, fantastic video Ozone! Excited to see whatever else you cook up! :>
Thank you so much!! I myself struggled to put a lot of this into words, part of the reason it took so long to make. I kinda wish Afton didn't just appear for one scene and then die off forever but at the same time as you say it's kinda bitter-sweet and even though I believe he is truly gone, his impact on the story going forward is huge. Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
This video is incredible, the editing and presents is on point. Just wanted to come in and say that apparently LadyFiszi confirmed that the FNAF 6 alleyway drawing that supposedly referenced the Afton family, was not meant to have any relevance to the lore, it was not actually a reference.
You did an amazing job at explaining the original and complete physical-Afton storyline. A joy to listen to.
4:12 idk if someone already pointed it out but i saw you put the Cassidy face on the left side lol
Good spot! I actually hid a few TOYSNHK faces in the video ;)

I remember the night the movie came out, I watched it on peacock with my dad, and he asked me if I was "in heaven" and oh, yeah I was...
Bro when i was younger i thought springtrap lived in my toy room at night
This is a really excellent video essay, you covered things very thoroughly. Good job!
I appreciated how you approached Glitchtrap - who is still a mystery but linked to Afton by many. I'm of the opinion that its an AI/Mimic version of Afton and he behaves like a virus/interdimentional being, infecting humans and bots alike personally.
I really like Afton's characterisation in TFC. Looking forward to reading FF to see how William is characterised there -I've only recently started reading them. It seems like the books flesh him out quite nicely.
Thank you so much! I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about William's characterisation in the trilogy but what I will say is I think most people really like the character we see in the Frights series. He's not there for that long, but I'm sure you'll really enjoy it!
"flesh him out"
this is foreshadowing of an unforseealke event
@@ikaiju-eu9wn Ha! I didnt even notice that. Good catch!
I think it's funny how we just accepted that William Afton was, or at least always wore, purple. It's something I call the Afton/O'hara thesis, where they're colored one way to avoid all the monochrome colors blending together, but then they're just associated with that color.
Well I believe that Glitchtrap is a copy of the mimic01 Programm (Not the original mimic01 Programm), and got Williams memories and personality from springtraps cyrcetboard, which makes him or it bassicly to william, just without his soul.
You are right kind of.The Mimic is implied to have seen the Missing children's incident so the memory part is kind of right but the Springtrap thing is not.For all we know right now the only surviving parts of William exploded and Scraptrap was completely destroyed in the Fire
@@TheJonkler1 well when I think about it you are right, but it could also be, that springtrap was like in the twisted ones connected to some sorth of system and that this system was scanned into the vor game.
So your saying glitchtrap is a copy of mimic1 that has aftons mind not his soul
@@Sing87eh exactli
Sorry for the false pronounce I’m from Germany.
I only Have One Face! Well Two When I’m Wearing The Spring Bonnie Suit
The one thing i would change about the movie aftion is have him say "I Will Come Back" and not "I Always Come Back" they give the same idea and shows that he knows something the heroes dont. And it doesn't take you out of the moment dew to the game line
but it ties back to him already surviving one springlock failure before the movie, just like in the novels and probably the games and as indicated by the scars he has on his neck
@@ikaiju-eu9wn wait he did?
@@GamingWarlord64 yes, like i said he has scars on his neck which are somewhat visible during the job interview scene
@@ikaiju-eu9wn I did not notice that
Funnily enough, I had a theory of the exact same title and idea as this one in the works. Back to the drawing board ig.
Edit: I watched the full video, and I have to say, great job!
Super freaking awesome video. I really enjoyed it!
Something I think would be cool for springtrap is what if he had mold and mushroom/fungus growing on his body where he’s damaged and has holes and missing parts and not only that but he could somewhat control them and even cause them to spread, the mushrooms could be bioluminescence glowing purple and whenever he uses his mold it can infect and corrupt a person both physically and mentally.
Ok, this will be fun. Keep up the great work, Ozone!
I like how in the Fazbear Frights books, William takes too many forms.
He is a fixed up spring Bonnie on the other side of a time-traveling ball pit. He’s a piece of VR code who makes a man pregnant. In the story right after that, he’s a crippled “corpse” who isn’t allowed to die. He’s a broken down spring Bonnie in the Fazbear’s Fright horror attraction who copies someone’s abusive stepfather and makes them die in an oven fire.
He comes back, and he comes anew.
Those are not afton pittrap is a agony creation.
Did we watch a different movie? Movie Afton? Subtle???? I watched it with non-fnaf fans and they all immediately clocked him as "some evil murder guy"
Lol fair enough, I also watched it with non-fnaf fans and they had no idea
Yeah, man's performance was amazing don't get me wrong, but the "twist" was about as subtle as a train to the face haha
I love These hidden Details that Scott and the new makers always hide evrywhere, so the Fans can have fun solvent it.
This encapsulates so much of my own opinions. Originally I wanted to make a video such as this myself over at @FunBunn but now I think ill just link yours. I do still plan to make a video like "William Afton: The Most Misunderstood Character" because its true in the way hes been getting flanderized in ways where people think he loves his own kids and such but i will definately also shout out your video because thus covers his mentality within himself.
Make the video! It's always interesting to see how other people understand the same character and I know for sure that many people are way better at wording their thoughts on topics like these. I'm glad to hear you share some of the same thoughts as me :)
@@OzoneYT Thanks! In that case I will make it
just finished watching this video , i really enjoyed it
Great to hear, thanks for watching!!
I'm of the same opinion that Mimic took over Afton's personality. Therefore, he was still the main villain in Pizzaplex.
Because if Mimic simply cosplayed Afton, then this ruins the image of Glitchtrap, as (in my opinion) the analogy with the Green Goblin due to the fact that it was just another masquerade of some no-name.
Glitchtrap is not afton i will DIE ON THIS HILL
I literally refuse to call glitchtrap the mimic owww so spooky robot copycat spooky AI so scary like get that crap out of here
So who is glitchtrap?
@@dylanhudec979 I massively enjoyed this video and agreed with a whole lot of it, but I have to push back hard on the Mimic being testifying because it's a "forced of nature."
No it's not. "The Purple Guy" was scary because he was a mystery, we didn't know anything about him, we were left with only some confirmations and the rest was our own imagination, like an urban legend. As Afton's novelty wore off, so did his terror, with Fnaf6 being sadly one of his weakest appearances (Pizza Sim is absolutely GOATED don't misunderstand me, Afton just isn't uniquely terrifying at that point.)
Mimic AI ISNT scary because there isn't anything TO know about it. It mimics. That's... literally it. It has no motivation, no desire, no overarching goal. Sure it's unpredictable, but only in the way a thunderstorm is: Can it be terrifying? Absolutely. Is it going to haunt my nightmares, keep me awake at the memory of it, and try restlessly to grapple with the existence of evil in this world and its effects on us as human beings? Probably not.
Tl;Dr, if everything is Mimic then Mimic ceases to be scary

Strong start & smart video
This is a stellar video, Ozone, great job. There’s only four FNAF-tubers I watch consistently and you’re one of them. Keep up the good work.
Things I think would be cool for William afton in a future game (though these are very unlikely to ever happen).
1. A sequel of ultimate custom night that focuses more on psychological horror as we follow William afton trying to survive and escape his personal hell while avoiding golden Freddy and the mediocre melodies who Cassidy has turned into her avatars and in new forms, and the game could also have us Better learn about William and his dark past.
2. A fnaf game that’s set in a newer version of the fazbear frights horror attraction called the ultra horrorplex (bigger, better and scarier than ever), and the main attraction is none other than William afton himself in a new trap form, but rather than being a threat (whether by choice or perhaps by memory loss) he no longer tries to kill people and instead focuses on trying to take done fazbear entertainment llc.
If it doesn’t involve the mimic then I’ll take it
He always comes back
(The mimic still sucks tho)
Afton is a cool charicter but mimic is the new villain but afton is legendary
Let us thank Markiplier for “Purple Guy” as a name XD
Love to see you post!
Wait, you're telling me the damn vampire show from sister location is supposed to represent William?
Purple guy messed with the wrong edgar. to be really honest if I was purple guy and saw that kid smiling at me I would be laughing at his face.
Will you be doing a reading of the movie FNAF book? 🙏🏼🙃🙂 I loved the readings and reactions... It was fun like enjoying a book with a friend.
Dang...now i wanna see the Afton amalgamation in the movie adaptation
Right?? It's definitely one way for Afton to go out..
the cipher remix in the intro is such a cool callback to the cicada 3301 video

Not been a fan of Springtrap talking. Fnaf 3 made it spooky since you can’t tell what William is thinking.
Will you make a video on Epilogue 8?
I feel like the line “I always come” back holds a lot of meanings. When he first dies and comes back it’s to show how Afton refuses to let go. The souls of the children find peace and learn to let go of the past but Afton won’t. He refuses to which is why no matter what he’ll always be a killer. In fnaf 6 it’s to show how he’ll always come back to haunt Michael. When Michael was a teen William tortured him with fear gas to break his mind, he tries to kill Michael in fnaf 3, and now we see him once again unable to let go. In UCN Cassidy uses Aftons quote against him. Since he confidently says that he always comes back Cassidy constantly kills him and brings him back over and over again. And lastly the mimic. Even though Afton is stuck in purgatory or has moved on to hell depending on what you believe, his metaphorical spirit lives on in the mimic. The mimic continues what Afton started. The mimic tortures Vanessa mentally and brings agony upon those he kills and their families just as Afton once did. It doesn’t matter if you think you’ve gotten rid of him. It doesn’t matter if you think he’s dead and gone. It doesn’t matter if you throw him back to the depths of hell itself. He always comes back.
If this is supposed to make me like the mimic then it’s not working
@@dylanhudec979 first off I don’t even know you so of course this comment wasn’t supposed to make you like the mimic. Second I really don’t care if you don’t like the mimic. It’s fine.

The mimic also kills Kids too just more adults, people kinda skim over that too as mimic is probably just as evil as afton by now (less iconic though I guess)

Remnant helps flesh grow back that’s why scrap trap has flesh, he is growing back because of remnant, and mike Schmidt probably looked like a college student because of lore hints which means when yiu have remnant flesh grows back, it’s HEALS you.
