I love how MatPat doesn’t sound like he’s explaining something, but more like he’s telling a story. There’s a lot more emotion poured into these timeline videos.
His resume must have included the fiery passion he has for his job. Not even death can stop his hot streak of getting hired for Fazbear Entertainment. Truly a great hire to inspire us all when he is gone
Damn I remember when the revelation of “the spring-lock suit failed on William because it was in a puddle of water” was a big deal. Now we’re in a four-part timeline series about an entire family affair and a killer’s consciousness being preserved through technology. And to think this all started because the fans didn’t want MatPat to talk about Slenderman.
@@Master_K14 Wait, I think I remember this. Back then, when he had ideas for theories, he had the comment section choose between two franchises. If I'm not thinking wrongly, the episode before the first ever FNAF theory video, he did ask us to choose between a Five Nights at Freddy's theory and a Slenderman one. Unless the Mandela effect is at work, lol.
Honestly, I', morbidly curious to see what he'd have to say about Slenderman. Not sure how much is worth saying if it's just the official games (Eight Pages and The Arrival), since a fair bit of the Slenderman lore was added by a community at large to my understanding.
Yeah, saw her by accident in UCN and I was far more scared because I couldn’t find a proper way to describe her in the Google search bar and thought I was hallucinating
I honestly have no idea how he can deliver the line "There was only so much a man filled with robot spaghetti could do" in such a serious tone without laughing
To be fair, that might be because MatPat is just so intimately familiar with FNAF's lore and characters by now. Dude's been studying this franchise for almost a decade now, he probably could earn a PhD in FNAFology with everything he knows about it.
As a brother..I sympathize with Mike's story here, the regret of hurting and ultimately blaming yourself for the death of someone you're supposed to protect would hurt like hell, it's why I hope he's actually glamrock, finally able to protect his brother and put an end to the sins of his father.
I rlly do think hes glamrock, remember when gregory got the hippo magnet and then glamrock started apologizing but apologizing a bit way too much over a silly thing like a magnet? What if he wasnt apologizing over the magnet and over what he did in 1983!??
@@oworcaph Thats certainly compelling but I'm not entirely sure that it's that level of apology. It does, however, feel like a family member apologizing for a lackluster gift.
I finally understand why the FNAF fanbase is deeply passionate about the franchise. The lore is just too interesting, filled with fright, loss, pain, love, and hatred and passion.
This really makes Michael Afton more of a tragic story than we realized, living with the guilt of accidentally killing his brother and being haunted by the sins of his father all his life...I'm hoping he was able to let go at the end
I think we can all agree that the fact that the entire video that MatPat did not even mention Music Man once or even do the meme, goes to show that he really made this theory truly intriguing for the fans.
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, James 2:24,26 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
I literally got shivers once I saw the elevator. It's absolutely insane how Matt is able to piece together lore from 10 different places; and the craziest part is that it all makes sense... too much sense.
I just like how William Afton made a confession of his sins through a methodical plan. By allowing Michael to go in his basement if he dies, he basically prepared a safety plan for his son to know what he had done.
Not only is MatPat making this more intriguing of him actually putting out a very fleshed out timeline of FNAF, but he is also still keeping us engaged on telling his own stories that actually may be canon to the actual lore. Especially the plot points and certain characters that are still very complicated like the Mediocre Melodies for example.
While like it. Im confused, he’s saying mike burned the older locations at end his work week using the fnaf3 hallucinations being burnt to prove it which makes sense, but if William was sealed in the secret room waaaaay back before then after getting sprung then how come he’s not burnt in fnaf3?
I had a dream where fnaf finally ended, and the true ending for the last game was matpat waking up from dream while writing the first fnaf theory, let’s all hope this wasn’t some prophetic dream. For Matpats sake
Do you ever have prophetic dreams because i do apparently Literally one day i remembered having already been through but no one else knew about it sooo...
Kind of reminds me of my headcannon that the box from fnaf 4 does contain the peices put together, in the form of a link to all of matpats fnaf theories
💡 what if Mark and mat pat played FNAF together or see who dies the least now that sounds like a video idea 💡 Edit 1: thanks for the like(s) and maybe if this gets enough likes he will at least consider it?? Who knows...
Love how Afton is changed to his FNAF 2 sprite at 6:30 after Michael realizes how evil he was. Something about that sprite is extra creepy for some reason.
I think that the amount of emotion MatPat puts into these narratives is absolutely amazing, and it really makes you feel sympathetic for each of the characters, especially William, which seems kinda difficult to do considering he’s a child murderer. Another great job Mat!
On the topic of feeling bad for william, I wonder what happened to that fnaf into madness game. I kind of hope if it’s still coming out, its a prequel that takes place in fredbears family diner and its about Williams backstory. Hence the name, “into madness”.
“Although for one of you, the darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole. So dont keep the devil waiting, old friend” That line send chills down my spine.
I like the touch of Mat narrating and going of on a little tangent when something happen to the person we're following like Afton getting springlocked and Micheal getting scooped
I remember watching Markiplier play the original five nights at Freddy's and seeing game theory try to speculate on what's really going on and thinking to myself "It's a malfunction, they're not haunted, that would be stupid..." Oh boy is my face red 😅😂
As far as the dates on FNAF2 go, it very well could be that Jeremy is the last employee before it closes down only for Mike to pick up the job years later. It’s a logical leap, but it’s possible that the reason these long closed restaurants suddenly needed security guards was only in anticipation for Fazbear Frights. Whoever was building the attraction possibly wanted to get their hands on more pieces of Fazbear history and so needed someone to guard the locations until they could get their hands on the animatronics.
Im glad that Matpat calls out the parts of the lore that he doesn't know and as much as some may make fun of Matpat for the craziness of Fnaf, he really is doing his best to make this all fit into logical story
I think those simple portions and dates can be explained as there was never meant to be this large of a story. Hell, there was never meant to be any story. So if there was more fore planning, the dates would be in a more specific order.
Yeah, my ex-friend just says that he's 'jumping to conclusions' and 'none of it makes sense' but I mean- One: It's a **theory**. No matter how correct it may be, these all start out as theories. And two: He tries his best. Heck, better than they could ever do! This is the reason I've never really liked them-they were always a bit of a downer. (random info you didnt need to know :p)
Damn, when FNAF and it's theories began, I was 13 y/o. Now I'm 20, nearing 21 and sooo many things have changed. Thank you Matt, you made me feel like a kid again
I was watching this with earbuds in, and I accidentally started some music... so just as Henry's monologue and William's cries for help were being played in their intense audios, the "Dragons Den" from 'How To Train Your Dragon' also swelled. And let me tell you, that is quite the experience.
@@SomePerson_Online well yes, the suits were stinky, but why would they fire michael for odor that didn’t come from him? michael was also stinky as a rotting corpse
@@SomePerson_Online in the pink slip it’s odor from Michael, in the newspaper clippings on the wall it mentions odor from the animatronics. There are separate odors
It was believed that Eggs was actually copiously sweating out of terror, and I imagine had even wet his pants, which would technically explain the odor. This was before we learnt that he's a zombie.
You know I am glad to still see that MatPat has still not giving up on solving all of the FNAF lore. And not only is he trying to explain it more clearly and simple, he is also making sure on giving us such a tragic story on how FNAF truly is a horror media franchise about the darkest and tragic times at your childhood place.
What is interesting to me is how it seems to be reccuring theme for Scott such as robots.. Desolate hope was pretty much about lives that could be but wouldn't if i remember correctly
MatPat: *spending restless hours of his day trying to figure out fnaf lore through complicated resources* Markiplier: *Literally guesses the lore on his first/second play through of each game*
I like Michael's redemption arc. He truly redeemed himself for that terrible act he committed on accident when he was only a kid. The dude is probably the biggest hero in the franchise
Honestly I agree. It's either him or Henry. He made a big mistake in his past, but then sought not just to fix it,, but also all the repercussions of it. That's a story arc, and I love it.
He gets so into character, you can tell this means so much to him. When he was yelling “MAKE IT STOP” He put so much emotion, like he was feeling the pain, yet still made it feel like he wasn’t interfering
That audio of William shouting "MIKE! HELP ME!!" is so chilling to the bone, and it honestly is one of the factors that makes me believe this theory the most
Love that mattpatt brought back the dream theory during the section he was explaining Mike's nightmares as he was going around being an avenging arsonist
Cassidy keeping William alive in Ultimate Custom instead of torturing him in in some kind of after life makes perfect sense. It really diminishes Michael's and Henry's sacrifice but it really sets up the future games very well.
It also fits with advice of old man consequences, "leave the demon to his demons, there is nothing else here" he wanted Cassidy to let go so Afton could be sent to hell properly not that poor imitation of hell that Cassidy kept him in, and also for Cassidy to move on as well.
There's a level of satisfaction in seeing everything getting connected, finally, after so many years, so many characters, so many locations and nights, the story is being put back together. Onward with the Final Chapter.
I think michael could hide his odor sometimes but after being 6 hours in a place without cleaning himself everything would start to smell again, i thing the odor comes mostly from his insides i suppose that instead of looking purple his skin was pale so he didn't exactly looked like a walking corpse
I love how, despite being a crazy hot pile of mess, the FNAF storyline is still weirdly consistent. There is clearly a lot of love poured into it, and I can't imagine how many hours Scott spent reading his own hints and plot points from all the games, making sure they continue making sense even when the entire story is turned on its head. One example of this is the firing notice from FNAF 1. Odor. What was once a mere hint at the presence of bodies inside the animatronics later evolved to be a reference to Michael's scooped, decaying body. And, most peculiarly, it served both purposes. It had set us on track to unravel the first five murders, back when the lore was much simpler, but later evolved with the games, and with us. Same hints played different roles at different points of our collective knowledge, and this is something that makes me unbelievably proud of this series and it's author. I just can't imagine myself writing something even remotely coherent while having to write it backwards, in a self-fulfilling prophesy kind of way
Except it's not consistent, not really. He's had to include caveats in the last two videos because of glaring inconsistencies. That's the problem when you don't have the whole story mapped out from the start. It's not bad, but any attempt to tie everything together into one coherent story - including Scott if he ever tries to release a definitive timeline - is going to end up with plot holes, contradictions, and inconsistencies.
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, James 2:24,26 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
The delivery of these timeline videos is legitimately making me tear up. The emotions in Mat's voice and the overall narration of the story that confused us for YEARS that is now making a complete sense with character arcs and motivation is just so so satisfying. And as we always know, but often overlook, this story is so damn dark and depressing.
MatPat has done such a great job uncovering this even the creators of this series didn’t know this. He uncovered the story of what they intended it to be but never understood it was.
I think the discrepancy with the pay slips is simply because Scott hadn’t thought that far ahead yet in the timeline, and so just slapped on a date that felt like it would be at the height of popularity for a place like Freddys
no in fnaf 1 scott didn't put the year for Mike's paycheck, in fnaf 2 Jeremy's paycheck shows the year 1987 to tell the player that it's a prequel. He didn't just put it there without a reason
I like that Mat admits that not everything 100% fits. A lot of theorists tend to just put out what their theories and not really say if some things don’t fit
The one thing that can explain the dates issue, and that no one seems to remember, is that Scott has said that he *has* retconned his story *once* (Although he made sure to not say where) and I think that could help explain the issues with the dates in this theory.
@@brainalien67 Which f him for that by the way, we have to read into cryptic clues, and now some are not correct and we have no way to know which ones to trust. He should put out a update with the changes or just admit them. That the story is still needing this much work to figure out after all these years, throw a bone already. Frankly I dont think he ever really had a deep story written out, He had a vague idea of one, but just threw stuff at a wall and lied that it was there, then built around the fans theories while never quite using them.
@@brainalien67 He also stated it wasnt a MASSIVE change. And it almost certainly refers to the FNAF 2 minigame where Charlie died. One where she was referred to as "he".
@@Blizzzful I’m actually talking about more recently, too. It’s what I like to call “Game Theory,” with the Tale From The Pizzaplex book story “Help Wanted.”
Funny when you realize fnaf 3 came out in 2015, yet it takes place in 2023. This video came out in 2023. Thus meaning we finally were able to figure this out in the year that game took place. I’m not sure if I was able to describe that well, but it’s honestly amazing.
But only from an outside perspective. A journalist piecing it all together, then being haunted by nightmares of the past event as little parts of remnants they picked up while investigating locations and evidence managed to infiltrate their body.
I have been watching these theories since I was 11 years old. I’m now 18. A game I’ve been a fan of from such a young age. And to think the lore of the series is coming down to being solved is wild to me. Thanks Matt pat for giving me so many great memories during my childhood and teen years.
Can you imagine how angry Micheal must've been the moment he got scooped? Sure, he looks like William, but I would be a little ticked off that my own sibling used me as a skin suit.
I mean, it's been explicitly said that Elizabeth is somehow possessing Baby. However, Baby using this info to manipulate Michael, making him think it's her sister, is a bit interesting, puts into perspective of the series of who's really Elizabeth, and who's really Baby.
I was under the impression that FNAF 4 are the nightmares of Evan William’s youngest child and that the last night of that game when you hear William say “I’m going to put you back together” that that leads into the whole story of William experimenting with children and the animatronics
I like Michael's redemption arc. He truly redeemed himself for that terrible act he committed on accident when he was only a kid. The dude is probably the biggest hero in the franchise
I like to think back to the release of Fnaf 1. Sure, the odor part supports the Mike Afton is the security guard theory, but all that lore can only have come later in the series. No way Scott was like: Okay so these animatronics are haunted because they were killed by a murderer, whose son found out about the experimenting on children of his father who was then scooped apart, filled with a mess of wires and the spirit of his dead sister kept alive because of this remnant stuff, so he's essentially a walking corpse which is why he has an odor.
The fnaf 3 springtrap jumpscare has always been so anticlimactic. Just him… walking up to you calmly. It’s a father greeting his son after years apart from one another. You can almost hear the calm “Hello, Michael” that would come afterwards…
yeah and when he is talking abt micheals rage or how william was begging to die in ultimate custom night he was able to put a huge amount of emotion in those lines
One thing I really like about this series is that Mat uses some real life stuff in his story like the Sister Location closing for gas leaks (and the real life leaks) and how Fazbear Frights (FNAF 3) was supposed to be the end but wasn’t
I think Mike’s journey began way before Sister Location, and it might’ve partially been a thrill-seeking/investigative venture on his part. He probably used fake names just because he knew that there were rumors about his father and wanted to steer clear of any potential drama. He was also probably unaware of how much danger he was in because he’s never canonically been killed by the restaurant animatronics.
You know, I think that might have some merit. Maybe he didn't start burning them until after sister location? The first/second (whichever had 1987 written on it) game probably was, as you said, him going on a thrill-seeking thing, because of the date, and after he got scooped, that's when he turned to arson. Who knows? After all, it's just a theory.
I truly hope your comment gets more views because this is what I was thinking. Michael had to have started going around to the restaurants on his own for some reason that has nothing to do with finding his father until William did disappear. Maybe Michael also noticed the animatronics starting to act oddly and started his own investigation
I would like to thank all the editors for all their hard work on this channel and the other three. Without any of you we would not get these great amazing videos. So thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts
I really respect your work here mat. I believe most of the theory presented here is true. The only thing bugging me is the identity of the two workers we find dead in sister location. if sl is under the afton house, where could they have come from. I might be missing something but the story is very coherent anyway. Thank you for all these years of theorisation :)
I just turned 18 two days ago and I started watching these when I was about 12. Having these final theories feels right to wrap up my childhood as I’m finally becoming an adult feels right.
Dang. I'm speechless, MatPat. That emotion you put in, it was unlike anything I've seen before. We all know you have a theater background, but rarely do you show off your skill of storytelling. Incredible job, MatPat, simply impeccable!!! I can only imagine what the rest of the story will entail.
Mike is the best character, not just because he’s in pretty much every game, but the idea of a character trying to undo his dead* father’s work and the fact that even though his insides were ripped out and he was basically a walking corpse he still kept trying to leading to him creating the single best video game ending ever made in the history of the universe. I think you know why Micheal is the best by now anyway but he’s just such a cool character. *=William isn’t actually dead I just couldn’t think of another word.
I'm hoping the Mike we get in the FNAF movie (if we do get him) will keep his core character traits, even if everything after FNAF 3 won't be a part of this franchise. Let him be a suspicious but ultimately well intentioned security guard. It would be a great way of changing the narrative from the Silver Eyes but ultimately keeping it the same. Imagine it! A group of teenagers visit the now closed pizzeria only to find a weird figure roaming the halls. The animatronics suspect him of being the killer but he's actually the killer's son trying to make things right.
From leaks we can see it’s very different from the games. SPOILERS: la la la don’t look too far ahead of you don’t want them. Springtrap is gonna be in it, as well as Vanessa and a young Vanessa. Mike is listed as mike Schmidt and is seen beating up Afton in a clip that was filmed by an onlooker.
Everything in fun f3 want to be a part of this franchise. What him be suspicious but intentioned security guard. That would be a great way of changing The narrative of the silver I immediately kept it the same. Imagine the group of teenagers visit the nPizzeria if only a random figure Roaming the halls . The animatronics suspect Emma being the killer expect him of being the killer but he's he's actually the son of the trying to make things right.
Guys we really need to give Team Theory a clap and a half…they’re running 4 channels and making sure they give us the best quality content. We truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into these videos
Theory: Scott Cawthon is going to start the true one piece. After he releases the last game he’s gonna hide an audio queue somewhere and it will go as follows. “Wealth, fame, power. I, Scott Cawthon have obtained these three things. You want my game lore? You can have it! I left everything that is true in one place, now you just have to find it.”
The first game came out when we were 8 or 9. Now we are 18/19, fully grown and our questions being put to rest. My childhood would not have been the same without you, Matpat
While I may not agree with all of your theories, I always find them incredibly entertaining and I'm sure everyone can see the hard work and dedication you've put into your channels. Congrats on the new channel launch, and I can't wait for the next FNAF theory😂 it always comes back
You know the game is expertly constructed in lore when the internet's best theorizer and detective has spent almost a decade tryna figure this thing out .
Its currently 9:30 at night on march 25 but Matpat doesn’t seem to want to comply, lets motivate him with a controlled shock Edit: how this dogshit post get this many likes
Honestly though, I'd barely know anything about what is now probably my favourite horror story (the story of the franchise up to FNAF 6) if it weren't for MatPat. THANKS!!!!

Mike's story is just so sad to me. Living with his regrets for the rest of his life, cleaning up after his father and then his tragic end. "And to you my brave volunteer-" idk it all just hits very hard for me
It may be sad, but he's also guilty for "accidentally" killing his own brother. That accident feels more intentional considering Michael should of known how dangerous the Springlocks were & he was definitely old enough to know better than to prank his brother in such an extreme way.
@@thechoirtar6077oh, there’s no doubt that was a act of pure cruel bullying. i think, that in this extreme case, mike as an older sibling had felt the pressure and abuse of his father (cause let’s be real, william for sure abused mike) and the absence of his mom (whether that be physically or emotionally). and in typical cruel kid and older brother fashion, he made his brother his release. he took out his anger on him, and pushed his most important buttons: his fear of the animatronics. i would wager mike didn’t fully understand the mechanics of the spring locks, and definitely was not trying to kill his younger brother. traumatize and scar for life? sure. maim and kill him? no. but he suffered the repercussions none the less.
and ultimately spent the rest of his life, and afterlife, working to clean up his and his fathers mistakes. defiantly a flawed and guilty hero, but a hero still in my eyes.
Scott straight up showed us in the novels - *the concept of robokids and duplicates/copies are a real thing.* Idk why so many think this idea is the most far-fetched/crazy thing in regards to this series 😆 Like it or not, *somebody in the game is robot or a copy fam* 😅
Dude, he should play William Afton in the newFnaf movie coming out soon. MatPat doesn’t sound like he’s explaining something, but more like he’s telling a story. There’s a lot more emotion poured into these timeline videos.

I just like how William Afton made a confession of his sins through a methodical plan. By allowing Michael to go in his basement if he dies, he basically prepared a safety plan for his son to know what he had done.
Not only is MatPat making this more intriguing of him actually putting out a very fleshed out timeline of FNAF, but he is also still keeping us engaged on telling his own stories that actually may be canon to the actual lore. Especially the plot points and certain characters that are still very complicated like the Mediocre Melodies for example.

Love how Afton is changed to his FNAF 2 sprite at 6:30 after Michael realizes how evil he was. Something about that sprite is extra creepy for some reason.
I think that the amount of emotion MatPat puts into these narratives is absolutely amazing, and it really makes you feel sympathetic for each of the characters, especially William, which seems kinda difficult to do considering he’s a child murderer. Another great job Mat!
On the topic of feeling bad for william, I wonder what happened to that fnaf into madness game. I kind of hope if it’s still coming out, its a prequel that takes place in fredbears family diner and its about Williams backstory. Hence the name, “into madness”.

As far as the dates on FNAF2 go, it very well could be that Jeremy is the last employee before it closes down only for Mike to pick up the job years later. It’s a logical leap, but it’s possible that the reason these long closed restaurants suddenly needed security guards was only in anticipation for Fazbear Frights. Whoever was building the attraction possibly wanted to get their hands on more pieces of Fazbear history and so needed someone to guard the locations until they could get their hands on the animatronics.
Im glad that Matpat calls out the parts of the lore that he doesn't know and as much as some may make fun of Matpat for the craziness of Fnaf, he really is doing his best to make this all fit into logical story

@@SomePerson_Online in the pink slip it’s odor from Michael, in the newspaper clippings on the wall it mentions odor from the animatronics. There are separate odors
As one does 👌
It was believed that Eggs was actually copiously sweating out of terror, and I imagine had even wet his pants, which would technically explain the odor. This was before we learnt that he's a zombie.
You know I am glad to still see that MatPat has still not giving up on solving all of the FNAF lore. And not only is he trying to explain it more clearly and simple, he is also making sure on giving us such a tragic story on how FNAF truly is a horror media franchise about the darkest and tragic times at your childhood place.
What is interesting to me is how it seems to be reccuring theme for Scott such as robots.. Desolate hope was pretty much about lives that could be but wouldn't if i remember correctly
MatPat: *spending restless hours of his day trying to figure out fnaf lore through complicated resources*
Markiplier: *Literally guesses the lore on his first/second play through of each game*
I like Michael's redemption arc. He truly redeemed himself for that terrible act he committed on accident when he was only a kid. The dude is probably the biggest hero in the franchise
Honestly I agree. It's either him or Henry. He made a big mistake in his past, but then sought not just to fix it,, but also all the repercussions of it. That's a story arc, and I love it.

There's a level of satisfaction in seeing everything getting connected, finally, after so many years, so many characters, so many locations and nights, the story is being put back together. Onward with the Final Chapter.
The Story is broken
But the fandom will put it back together again
I think michael could hide his odor sometimes but after being 6 hours in a place without cleaning himself everything would start to smell again, i thing the odor comes mostly from his insides i suppose that instead of looking purple his skin was pale so he didn't exactly looked like a walking corpse
I love how, despite being a crazy hot pile of mess, the FNAF storyline is still weirdly consistent. There is clearly a lot of love poured into it, and I can't imagine how many hours Scott spent reading his own hints and plot points from all the games, making sure they continue making sense even when the entire story is turned on its head. One example of this is the firing notice from FNAF 1. Odor. What was once a mere hint at the presence of bodies inside the animatronics later evolved to be a reference to Michael's scooped, decaying body. And, most peculiarly, it served both purposes. It had set us on track to unravel the first five murders, back when the lore was much simpler, but later evolved with the games, and with us. Same hints played different roles at different points of our collective knowledge, and this is something that makes me unbelievably proud of this series and it's author. I just can't imagine myself writing something even remotely coherent while having to write it backwards, in a self-fulfilling prophesy kind of way
Except it's not consistent, not really. He's had to include caveats in the last two videos because of glaring inconsistencies. That's the problem when you don't have the whole story mapped out from the start. It's not bad, but any attempt to tie everything together into one coherent story - including Scott if he ever tries to release a definitive timeline - is going to end up with plot holes, contradictions, and inconsistencies.

Maybe. Maybe.

A lot of theorists tend to just put out what their theories and not really say if some things don’t fit
The one thing that can explain the dates issue, and that no one seems to remember, is that Scott has said that he *has* retconned his story *once* (Although he made sure to not say where) and I think that could help explain the issues with the dates in this theory.

I like to think back to the release of Fnaf 1. Sure, the odor part supports the Mike Afton is the security guard theory, but all that lore can only have come later in the series.
No way Scott was like: Okay so these animatronics are haunted because they were killed by a murderer, whose son found out about the experimenting on children of his father who was then scooped apart, filled with a mess of wires and the spirit of his dead sister kept alive because of this remnant stuff, so he's essentially a walking corpse which is why he has an odor.
or he desgned the rest of the games around fnaf 1 and them implementing the rotting corps to make that a hint
that's why i think fnaf 1 comes before sister location tbh
either that or fritz smith isn't actually michael
I love the fact that while FNAF 2 is a prequil, through this theory, Mike still goes through the restaurants IN ORDER, that's super cool to me.
The fnaf 3 springtrap jumpscare has always been so anticlimactic. Just him… walking up to you calmly.
It’s a father greeting his son after years apart from one another. You can almost hear the calm “Hello, Michael” that would come afterwards…
Yeah, that's why we got a FNAF 4.
his design is the scariest part of it but still

yeah and when he is talking abt micheals rage or how william was begging to die in ultimate custom night he was able to put a huge amount of emotion in those lines
One thing I really like about this series is that Mat uses some real life stuff in his story like the Sister Location closing for gas leaks (and the real life leaks) and how Fazbear Frights (FNAF 3) was supposed to be the end but wasn’t
Imagine how much easier MatPats life would be if we had just chosen Slenderman all them years ago 😭💀
I think Mike’s journey began way before Sister Location, and it might’ve partially been a thrill-seeking/investigative venture on his part. He probably used fake names just because he knew that there were rumors about his father and wanted to steer clear of any potential drama. He was also probably unaware of how much danger he was in because he’s never canonically been killed by the restaurant animatronics.
You know, I think that might have some merit. Maybe he didn't start burning them until after sister location?
The first/second (whichever had 1987 written on it) game probably was, as you said, him going on a thrill-seeking thing, because of the date, and after he got scooped, that's when he turned to arson.
Who knows? After all, it's just a theory.
I truly hope your comment gets more views because this is what I was thinking. Michael had to have started going around to the restaurants on his own for some reason that has nothing to do with finding his father until William did disappear. Maybe Michael also noticed the animatronics starting to act oddly and started his own investigation

Mike is the best character, not just because he’s in pretty much every game, but the idea of a character trying to undo his dead* father’s work and the fact that even though his insides were ripped out and he was basically a walking corpse he still kept trying to leading to him creating the single best video game ending ever made in the history of the universe.

I'm hoping the Mike we get in the FNAF movie (if we do get him) will keep his core character traits, even if everything after FNAF 3 won't be a part of this franchise. Let him be a suspicious but ultimately well intentioned security guard. It would be a great way of changing the narrative from the Silver Eyes but ultimately keeping it the same.
Imagine it! A group of teenagers visit the now closed pizzeria only to find a weird figure roaming the halls. The animatronics suspect him of being the killer but he's actually the killer's son trying to make things right.

Guys we really need to give Team Theory a clap and a half…they’re running 4 channels and making sure they give us the best quality content. We truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into these videos
True dat. This is true. WE NEED MORE LOVE FOR TEAM THEORIST!!!!!
5 channels with gtlive
Theory: Scott Cawthon is going to start the true one piece. After he releases the last game he’s gonna hide an audio queue somewhere and it will go as follows. “Wealth, fame, power. I, Scott Cawthon have obtained these three things. You want my game lore? You can have it! I left everything that is true in one place, now you just have to find it.”
Bro that sent chills down my spine😂🔥🔥
The first game came out when we were 8 or 9. Now we are 18/19, fully grown and our questions being put to rest. My childhood would not have been the same without you, Matpat
I myself am 21, and it’s been a ride. I await that movie with as much anticipation as I did back in 2015.
i was 6 when i joined the franchise in 2016 now im 13
its been so long
I was 18/19 when the first game came out, I’m 27 now.
Same here I'm 19
@@rainbow_glitch100 Yikes, who lets a 6-year-old onto the internet?
I want this to be an audiobook now...this lore is so interesting, and thank-you to MatPat and Team Theorist and this community for making this happen!
OH MY GOD YESS I NEED AN AUDIOBOOK 🤩
already one if u dont look at the vid
While I may not agree with all of your theories, I always find them incredibly entertaining and I'm sure everyone can see the hard work and dedication you've put into your channels. Congrats on the new channel launch, and I can't wait for the next FNAF theory😂 it always comes back

Personally, as a theorist, I feel like watching even wrong theories is important-it may lead to other connections, like one I’ve come to.

You know the game is expertly constructed in lore when the internet's best theorizer and detective has spent almost a decade tryna figure this thing out .
Its currently 9:30 at night on march 25 but Matpat doesn’t seem to want to comply, lets motivate him with a controlled shock
Edit: how this dogshit post get this many likes
He made a community post saying that it would be postponed until tomorrow, the 26th
@@EszGotYa thank you I have been wondering
It’s 12:54 pm here in Australia, 26th too! I’m waiting lol
Still waiting. Let’s motivate him with *another* controlled shock!
@@Booniebee 26th for the USA unfortunatly
We all appreciate that MatPat and his team worked so hard to decode the puzzle and arrange the pieces that is the FNAF timeline
no
Honestly though, I'd barely know anything about what is now probably my favourite horror story (the story of the franchise up to FNAF 6) if it weren't for MatPat. THANKS!!!!
March 25th is my birthday, hoppe i survvive until them
Hebrews
12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Acts
3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
James 2:24,26
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
John
3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
I have never played FNAF or read the books, but this series explained the entire lore extremely well, even to someone who has never tried the game.
Games are fun. I usually just ignore the lore and enjoy myself.
agreed, most theorists expect the audience to play the game, but MatPat makes it understandable to those who cant.
How are the police letting so many fazbear restaurants opening with all that backstory
You can here the passion in matpats voice when he's narrating its like he desires to fully understand all of it. And I'm here for it!
Dope huh?
hear*
Mike's story is just so sad to me. Living with his regrets for the rest of his life, cleaning up after his father and then his tragic end. "And to you my brave volunteer-" idk it all just hits very hard for me
It may be sad, but he's also guilty for "accidentally" killing his own brother.
That accident feels more intentional considering Michael should of known how dangerous the Springlocks were & he was definitely old enough to know better than to prank his brother in such an extreme way.
@@thechoirtar6077oh, there’s no doubt that was a act of pure cruel bullying. i think, that in this extreme case, mike as an older sibling had felt the pressure and abuse of his father (cause let’s be real, william for sure abused mike) and the absence of his mom (whether that be physically or emotionally). and in typical cruel kid and older brother fashion, he made his brother his release. he took out his anger on him, and pushed his most important buttons: his fear of the animatronics. i would wager mike didn’t fully understand the mechanics of the spring locks, and definitely was not trying to kill his younger brother. traumatize and scar for life? sure. maim and kill him? no. but he suffered the repercussions none the less.
and ultimately spent the rest of his life, and afterlife, working to clean up his and his fathers mistakes. defiantly a flawed and guilty hero, but a hero still in my eyes.
Especially him being betrayed by his sister when he was just about to help them
@@bambi.1imb0 I think he still managed to escape the pizzeria in FnaF 6 [Pizzeria sim] And carried on the legacy of Fnaf.
Ooftroop spoke about it.
Looks like part 4 hasn’t come out yet! Let’s motivate matpat to post with a controlled shock!
Edit: MAMA IM FAMOUS-
😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂SO TRUE
Part 4 still hasn't come out. Let's motivate MatPat with another controlled shock
@@person_o0o Still):
It has appeared it has worked
Lol
16:50 ok I know this is old but henry saying that still gives me chills from how cool and cold that line was
So far, we're 3 for 3 on acceptable parts of the timeline. Hope y'all are excited for Gregbot and the robokids on March 25th!
Well it's still a plausible theory
@@cephlo4933 Gregbot, maybe, but everyone being Elizabeth is a really big stretch you have to admit
@@cephlo4933 I just hate it. Why bring scifi into a dead children animatronic story- haha
@@MoonyFBM The entire genre of fnaf is arguably science fiction. But it's been going off the rails recently
Scott straight up showed us in the novels - *the concept of robokids and duplicates/copies are a real thing.* Idk why so many think this idea is the most far-fetched/crazy thing in regards to this series 😆 Like it or not, *somebody in the game is robot or a copy fam* 😅
Finally, the epic conclusion to the Afton Era. Excited for the fourth part and amazed at the work put into this project. Love you guys!
Ok
Edit 1: yes indeed!
You haven’t even watched it yet-
I agree

Dude, he should play William Afton in the newFnaf movie coming out soon. MatPat doesn’t sound like he’s explaining something, but more like he’s telling a story. There’s a lot more emotion poured into these timeline videos.
The movie already came out, matpat was in it but he wasnt william
