IMO michael seems to be the charater to jokes about things i mean you could say he uses his jokes to hide his fears sadness and possibly rage due to the logbook showing foxy ( who represent mike) crying under the " do you miss them" text
SL really is the game where Michael goes from "William's biggest defender" to "William's biggest opp" huh. Loved this analysis, editing was awesome too! May I ask you a question? Under MikeFrightGuard, do you think Mike tries to free the spirits in a way by playing the minigames that lead to Happiest Day?
William is a good character. He’s so afraid of death that he goes through the lengths he does and commits various evil acts just to avoid death. At least that was his intention from the beginning. Clearly he grew some sort of feeling of power.
I agree, I just wish we got more info on him in the games. Hopefully he's in fall fest. Would be cool to see if something sets him off or if he's just terrified of death from the start
@@TDReads after thinking a lot, I believe that Cassidy is William Afton's daughter after she died, Henry helped create her robot, called Elizabeth, but he knew that she is not his daughter, it drove him crazy
I really like that, but I wonder if the answer is more complicated, like each of the programs have a different meaning specifically rather than all tying literally together. It's a mystery like the similar yet completely different Candy Cadet stories.
I always thought the silly SL tv show was about William refusing to acknowledge Micheal as his son in the earlier stages of his childhood even tho he looks EXACTLY like him 😭 The woman does something extreme which leads to the two of them staying together and having more children. It could add to micheals resentment towards his brother (as well as his whole angsty teen act), and make it easier for William to manipulate Micheal into doing certain things by showing him the fatherly affection he always craved. Willaim seems like the type to completely break and guilt somebody, then comfort them and rebuild them into what he wants them to be,p
Michael really is the closet thing fnaf has to a main character. although I kind wish fnaf was more explicate about us playing as micheal, since there's not point it being vague about it, there hint are all there anyways. also would be nice if he more line in fnaf 6 in general. but always really good video I do like how you go over multiple theory in your videos, I think it makes it more interesting since most fnaf theory will have some holes in, cuz you know the lore is mess, so it's nice to see you go over different perspectives. Espcially since hate when some people treat their theories as if they are cannon and use really shotty evidence.
With regards to The Immortal and the Restless, I've always had a thought that it's telling us something about William and Michael, since we know Michael looks like William, and the baby is clearly Vlad's child just by looking at him. So my theory is maybe William thought that Michael wasn't actually his son, refusing to acknowledge the resemblance - maybe he thought Michael was actually HENRY'S son, like his wife cheated on him, or left him for Henry - which could be a motivation for him going after Charlie... but that's extrapolation and no small bit of wild speculation It could also have something to do with "Circus Baby", since I feel like that name, and a character repeatedly saying "The baby isn't mine!" must have some kind of connection...
@@SingingSealRiana It WOULD explain why William kidnapped Henry's kids in the books and film (especially in the film where I believe he crossed states to do it)... in the film, my theory is that Michael is actually an Afton, and his mother left William for Henry, taking the kids, so William went and stole their other kid, either to take him back, or as revenge since Garret wasn't William's.
I disagree on two things: 15:27 This is a common misunderstanding. And it's okay, as the games never explicitly say what "putting (someone) back together" actually means. But, after years, wecan finally make a good bet on what it means: repairing someone's broken soul by putting all the pieces of their soul in one vessel. The same thing that happened to the Crying Child. But, how did Elizabeth's soul break? Well, it's a theory called ShatterElizabeth (yeah, just like ShatterVictim). We know that the Scooper was a Remnant injector, and that it injected Remnant in the animatronics it scooped (just like with Mike). So, when William lost control over CBEAR, and the bunker was in the hands of people and workers who didn't know what the Scooper actually was, they began using it to destroy and repair the animatronics. And whether there was already Elizabeth Remnant or if it was put into the Scooper (unknowingly) by employees, in any case, they would inadvertently injected ALL the animatronics with Elizabeth's Remnant. That's why William asks Mike to put her back together. By fusing all the Funtimes together, Elizabeth's spirit is also put back together. Like I said, putting all the pieces containing her spirit in an only vessel. And with Mike's help during that time he was being used as a skin suit (we can see in TFC that Carlton interacts and puts back together the kids when he's unconscious and with Remnant inside him, so likely the same happens with Mike), he probably put the remaining pieces of Elizabeth back together. So that's what he did. Not making her consciousness arise, but rather putting all the scattered pieces of her soul back into a single piece. 17:51 No. The characters from the books do not behave JUST LIKE the characters in the games, nor do they have THE SAME personality. That's reductionist. I agree that several book-movie characters are meant to inform the actions or personality traits that game-characters might have, but they are not stand-ins, they're parallels. Mike in the movie is far from games' Mike. They do share names and job, maybe even family dinamics, but their personalities are different. Mike S. is serious, constantly melancoholic, and even mean, he seems to be rather okay with the ghost kids, and almost lets his sister die. Mike A. is, yes, sombre, but also snarky, (apparently) cares about what his own father has done, and literally dies to save his sister. They are VERY different, but that doesn't prevent them from being parallels. They are similar, and they stories are similar, but they have very different personalities and are put in very different scenarios. Overall, while I disagree with some other points, that's all. This videos are great! You clearly have a good time interpreting and finding about the lore and theories!
Thanks for the theory on Elizabeth. And I actually agree with what you mean about the book and movie characters paralleling the actions or life situations of the characters in other continuities. I just worded it poorly. But yes I don't think the characters are meant to be exactly the same. Just that a particularly important dynamic in their lives is likely to be present in their parallels. Thanks for your support 👍
Another interpretation or immortal and the restless would be, that vlad is michal who the parent(s) try to push the parenting on! Of cause they look similar as siblings, but still, it is not his kid and he cant be a father. Tge fact they are always alone and foxy bro has to watch cc its looks like a tragic faliure of parentification! Some kids lose their childhoods to it, others plain reject thw unjustly placed upon them responsability and it cones to haunt them differently as with foxy bro.
Michael is a better older brother than me, I used to have the hobby of locking up my younger brother in the room (he hated it and was terrified), I only released him when my mother was going to scold me or when I got tired of hearing him cry, I also used to catch crabs and throw them at my brother (he was also terrified and cried just by seeing them) and I also have the habit of throwing pillows at my other younger brother when he annoys me. I think older siblings always annoy the younger ones, I feel sorry for Michael, I imagine that just like me, he also loved and cared for CC, I can't imagine being the reason for my siblings' death.
I just started watching you from the crying child video and I thought your name was TD Reads because you have a very good narrating voice. Just something funny I thought I'd share.
The next Scott Interview we gotta ask him what the potential Night 4 episode of “The Immortal and the Restless” would have been. Michael’s been habitually watching them every day of the week and Circus Baby locked him up overnight in the bunker on Night 4. Night 5’s episode is the fake ending, so that episode likely isn’t how the show’s sag ended. CLEARLY WE HAVE MISSED DIRELY NEEDED CLOSURE WITH VLAD AND HIS DISTRESSED MISTRESS AND IT WILL SOLVE BOTH MICHAEL’S ARC AND THE MIMIC SOMEHOW :P
Your voice reminds me so much of Patrick Warburton in the best way possible. This is a great video and I can't wait to rabbit hole down your channel, keep up the epic work!!
So I had like, a thought I think FNAF4 does take place in 1987, and the scenes with teenage Michael are his memories from 1983, triggered by his friend Jeremy, assuming he's Bonnie Bro, also getting his head munched on. Him thinking about how he terrorised his brother and probably cut off Jeremy after the incident. It might actually explain Psychic Friend Fredbear, too. He's Michael, not William, talking to his memories of his brother. And it's possible he carries around Psychic Friend Fredbear in FNAF SL and it's literally HIS stuffy we see in that game, and a walkie Michael was using to talk to his father to get the orders before William dipped after Michael did what he was tricked into. does that make sense
It looks to me as if as cc is getting his head crunched by freddy, the Mimic watches on from inside of the spring bonnie suit coz of his glowing yellow eyes.
Old man Consequences mini game in UCN William's agonised screams; 'I Hate Mike and I Hate Henry!' there's definitely no love between father and son in this dying declaration.😅
I shrank what William is saying in to a proper sentence because for some reason he likes to stretch the 'I' and the 'HA' in 'Hate' in the actual audio, yet pronounced names like a normal person. How strange. Please note that this is ONLY what I personally hear when listening to that audio clip from UCN so think of it as you will as I may well have an error or may have misheard a part of it.😅
He´s always been my favourite, michael is the best character of fnaf, and the most righteous, and i agree with u that it doesn't make much sense for him to be the vengeful spirit, both because of the evidence and it doesn´t fit him narratively
William is the one that said "i will put you back together" the text color changed to yellow instead of grey, indicating that fredbear was the one that said that, and William is the one controlling fredbear
Cc and Mike's skin and hair color is the same, which could indicate that they're the same person, but a supernatural force is convincing me that they're not for some unknown reason
In the week before novel the bullies are described like how the nightmare animatronics are As if to say the CC himself saw them as nightmares to dream them up that way And Mikebro kind of based their entire theory on Foxybro being the night protagonist
@nathanielgarza9198 not really? - ralph hears crying sounds after hearing a recording of the bite, then gets bitten himself. You know what this implies - for the recording to have been there after typing 1983 in the first place, the pizzeria would have to be haunted by something related to it - Ralph can't be foxybro, therefore leaving the employee place in the staffbot recreation of the aftons open, there's only 1 afton heavily associated with being an employee at freddy's (besides william who's already the magician), mike.

something like that. Or at least he helps. I agree with people's idea that getting infused with remnant let's him talk to and understand them

Time to get to the ennerd of the issue
if fnaf have legit main character, its him

is that the bite of 87!!!
y'all think little bev in the private room got anything left in there for Michael?
