I love this video because Mike has such a soft spot in my heart. I wish we could have a better physical representation of him so that i could own Michael figurines.
Yeah, Mike did look like a zombie, but only at first. Remnant has regenerative properties, so he started to look normal post-Ennard. He might have big ugly scars on his face and body though. 7:06 Yessss, the little heart doodles make Mike feel like an actual person. It gives me a heartwarming feeling when looking at them. Maybe they're just that, doodles with no significance, that you draw when you're bored. Or, maybe, Mike had a small crush/was interested in someone, and when he read the question, he thought about them and doodled the little hearts with that person in mind; perhaps with a faint smile on his face. He probably was going to write the name, but ultimately decided not to. Maybe he believes that he can't ever be with someone, because of how he looks and all the stuff that's going on in his life. Ok, that was enough fanfiction for today lmao. Gawd, Michael and William are my favorite characters haha. Awesome video! Loved it to bits.
I like to think he continued as a zombie to really hammer home the "I've been living in the shadows" line. maybe he could have used an illusion disc to help with job interviews tho. (Is this still on the "Possibly canonical to the games" table?)
@@abacaxigomes4416 Hmm I'm not really sure. I don't think illusion discs were ever canon to the games. They probs got retconned with Nightmare gas. The "I've been living in the shadows" could still work without him being a literal zombie though. His body and face could of completely healed, but left a lot of scars. Like when people are attacked by animals, and the skin doesn't look normal anymore; it heals but looks kinda deformed. Think of the Phantom Of The Opera. Also, in the story "You're The Band" there's a security guard named Mike, that looks collage age (Frights books take place in the 2010s if I'm not mistaken.) That could indicate that he looks relatively normal, and he stopped aging as well. (But this story is one of the scrapped ones, so I don't know how reliable they are.)
I always thought that Schmidt was ms aftons maiden name, and that after a divorce post cc death he just took that name, and that Fritz smith is just some rando. The constant name changes people theorize always confused me
The random hearts do remind me of an idea some people in the fandom have of a what if Sammy (Henry's son and Charlie's brother in the novel trilogy) was in the games, and sorta became a duo with Michael, some even ship it, so there is that.
Clicked so fast when I saw the title of his video, also the Schmidt being Henry's surname idea really intrigued me, always thought that if anything it would be Ms Aftons maiden name. Also Ms Afton and Mike being close ♡ agh it does something to me,,, I have always hc that in life he had her eyes even if he looked like William, only for in death to have similar eyes to Springtrap. Phone Dude and Mike friendship for the win... , OH THAT SYMBOLISM FOR THE SCOOPING!! OH DUDE THATS AWESOME, very fazbear frights-esque reading
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! And yeah I've always imagined that Michael was close to his mom before... whatever happened to her. Him having her eyes before getting scooped aughghh I really like that hc
SCHMIDT CONSPIRACY, LITTERALLY PROVED MY THEORY THAT MIKEY-WAKEY COULD BE HENRY's SON OR REPRESENTING US SAMMY!! MAYBE HE IS NOT KIDNAPPED BY WILLIE BUT DIFFFERENT!!!!
I like this, I think a lot of of people don't look at is how William stating Micheal isn't his son while favoring CC and Elizabeth showing psychological abuse, thus Michael developing a bully mentality to his little brother.
My headcanon theory for page 16 is that he noticed the strange conversation type notes between the two spirits (David and Cassidy) and noticed that maybe, just maybe, his brother was still there, and those hearts were his first attempt to reach out to him. Just a cute little headcanon though. Edit: Another headcanon I have for Mikey: If Michael is the FNAF 4 player, and they're actually nightmares not whatever is happening in the books. Michael as a kid, and as an adult, is represented by foxy, right? Well, what is the only animatronic that's in THE CLOSET in Fnaf 4? Foxy. So I headcanon Mike as Bi.
Not only is Henry's last name never mentioned in game, his first name also isn't. The only thing we get in any of the games is "HRY223" so going by games alone you have no idea who this guy is
I feel like the 3 hearts represent 3 ppl idk who tho like the only ones I could think of is Elizabeth, David(BV), maybe Henry …? Or his mother but she’s said and I doubt it’s William 😭
I still think there has to be SOME crossover between Henry and William's families, considering his penchant for kidnapping, especially in the film continuity where William presumably crossed STATES just to kidnap one specific kid. My half-baked theory is that Mrs Afton left William for Henry, and maybe took one or more of the kids, maybe because William suspected her of cheating on him with Henry ("The baby isn't mine!"), and William goes to kidnap/kill Charlie/Garret out of revenge, or thinking they should belong to him, or that if he can't have them, nobody can
9:20 Nah, SL is after FNAF1. And even then, the whole “kids think security guard is William” thing isn’t exactly definite lore. It’s more about grown ups in general, it seems.
Despite everything we learn about FNAF’s story, FNAF 4 still has no definitive explanation for anything. We can presume it’s somehow related to SL (given the hidden maps from that game), but aside from that we know almost nothing
FNAF 4 is essentially Mike just having a nightmare where he's in the experiment bedroom and having to survive from the nightmarish versions of the original Freddy gang, the minigames were all building up to what's basically the final boss of the game: Fredbear, the animatronic that Mike & his bois put his little brother, not knowing that Winnie The Pooh would give him a big bite instead of a big kiss (Hooray for trauma!).
@@Dedelblute3 It can't be the crying child nor one of William's nightmare experiment victims mostly from the reversed FNAF 1 phone call, cause the only person that would know or hear Phone Guy/Ralph would be Mike, and just to note that Scott said he never put any easter eggs in the forth one, meaning this was a clear hint pointing towards Michael being the FNAF 4 protagonist that apparently no one got until the freaking survival logbook came out and pretty much confirms it by having Mike himself draw Nightmare Fredbear below a question regarding "recurring dreams" like ya can't get more obvious then that, plus this would say that FNAF 4 (at least the gameplay) takes place during or after FNAF 1.
@@bjksuk Yeah, I left a similar comment, and I was going to write "GF/Wife/Her" too, but changed it at the last second because I KNEW people were going to reply "He could be gay/etc." I know that he can be gay, but personally, I don't headcanon him being one. If you don't agree with the comment just scroll, it ain't that hard, or make your own comment.
@@LadyLuckyLu I agree, some people just take their own headcanons as canon sometimes :/ I never thought a person from 80s would be gay, I mean people were homophobic at that time
Love the theory. I really like the idea that Mike Shmidt and Michael Afton are two seperate people. One Henry's kid who became a night guard, and he went to sister location to put his sister back together, and used the Afton last name as a fake alias. Or that Mike/Michael are two seperate people. It bugs me that Mike is written in the security log book, but in some instances he goes by Michael.
I personally like to belive that after evan died is when he matured and deviated from his dad and he worked at the pizza places to avenge his siblings and free there souls
I love this video because Mike has such a soft spot in my heart. I wish we could have a better physical representation of him so that i could own Michael figurines.
I'd loveee to have a youtooz of Mike. They could use his sprite from Sister Location. Like they did for William, by using Purple Guy from Fnaf 2.

He could be gay or maybe straight though. Coming out of the closet and it being foxy doesn't mean he's automatically bi just cuz foxy is a boy

This half-baked theory is also why I'm expecting the twist in either the second or third film to be that Mike is William's biological son
