oh no, my theory its breaking apart, its fine, i mean already create another route to explain it, but this one is even more crazy than before it, at least we know hide and seek from fazbear frigths is about mike and crying child
The animatronic footprints in midnight motorists could possibly be a mysterious animatronic like golden freddy or shadow freddy or shadow bonnie I just giving you ideas to make your thoughts on what took place in midnight motorists more easier for you to think of 👍
Lol they basically kinda did based off the fact on the steam page of five laps at freddy's it said it was sponsored by fazbear entertainment which means the game does take place in the canon timeline also they wouldn't want to say anything about it being confirmed or not because let's be fr here this is fnaf we are talking about not everything has to be confirmed in order to be the case but anyways
@@melaniestrimling6055 Yeah but Fazbear Entertainment is often trying to cover shit up. I really think we need more information. I'm not believing it's not an MCI kid's abusive dad until it's spelt out clearer.
Ozone made a video about Nightmarionne and he explained why there's so much Nightmarionne plushies and also about the staff bots in the sewers representing it
7:59 building off of this thought, if William did have a history of stalking this family and learning their habits/routines he might have even gotten his hands on Mustard Man’s car and used it so that to frame him since he was already a suspect.
There’s no doubt the Staff Bots are a strange yet interesting set of characters. 🤔😀 I am excited to see where Steel Wool will go with these guys. Especially with Mask Bot most likely co raining the body of Cassie’s dad. I do hope we’ll see him more, and Cassie will get closure to what happened to her dad. Edit: The Staff Meeting is no doubt a mystery, and your claims are pretty convincing. 🤔😀👍
Imo people think it's William because Matpat said it, even tho the evidence is shaky I think Mr. Mustard is a missing kid's dad, it's obvious from the footprints and the Toy Chica cutscenes, and for the fact the 2 other minigames in Fnaf 6 are about Freddy's victims Also, "Later That Night" is a LOT more likely to mean "the night after the main Midnight Motorist minigame", there's no connection between Security Puppet and this minigame
I actually love the idea that this mustard man was technically framed for William’s killings, even more so than the other theory I see of it being Henry getting blamed.
I have a theory as to why the tear streaks don't show up for the newer bots. It's the same reason the newer bots don't kill you, the tear streaks are a representation of their free will and ability to act independently. My guess is once fazbear entertainment found a way to lock down and strip a soul's free will and independence, those tear streaks stopped showing up. And as a result, they'd do virtually anything that was asked of them. This would also make the "mask bot is Cassie's dad" theory a LOT darker, considering this would imply that there was hardly anything left of his soul by the time ruin rolls around.
I have a theory that the Midnight Moterist house is the house we see in the FNAF 4 menu screen and also the FNAF 4 house has been shown in Fall Fest in Curse Of Dreadbear and Help Wanted 2! So what if the run away kid ran to Fall Fest, the yellow man said "Ran Off To That Place Again." He didn't say pizzeria or any restaurant, just said 'place' so the yellow man could be preferring to Fall Fest. And I also have a theory that the foot prints could potentially be Glitchtrap's since he has 3 toes and Glitchtrap is potentially connected to Fall Fest. This might be a setup to Fall Fest and the Mimic potentially.
Came from Ozone's channel, love the theory! Especially the idea of the car being used as evidence to convict someone who isn't William! Who knows, maybe it's even the same purple car, but one person stole it from the other! (Either Mustard Man stole William's car, or vise versa)
I was gearing up to write a comment about how it makes sense, but doesn't seem to have enough narrative significance to bother putting into a minigame. The false conviction, though… that's clever.
there is a dead kid in that one fnaf 4 minigame where crying child gets locked in the employees only room by mike what if the dead kid is possibly the son from this theory
I think I have a solution : I think the minigame happened before cc was even afraid of the animatronics, and, because He was running to the restaurant everyday to see fredbear and sprongbonnie, and that was really annoying for William, so he decided to scare his son from the animatronics, because he doesn't want his son to get too close to the springlock animatronics and get injured (This aged well)
Scary! With the scattered knowledge I have of SB I assumed the human staff was just gone for the night- that didn't explain the lack of human touch for employees (break rooms etc.) where there should have been though. Cool stuff!
I'm still leaning towards Mustard Man being Henry. I don't know if it makes sense in terms of other theories, but just the fact that another monochrome guy is introduced for the first time, in the same game where Henry first appears... I dunno, it seems like it would be almost bad writing for that not to be him.
What I don't get about people that believe Jr's is another Freddy's location is that how many family restaurants have _bouncers_ , let alone ones standing out in the pouring rain at night when the place would be closed? Scott just needed a generic name for a bar and "Jr's" was one he picked. It could've been "Steve's", "Tim's", "Moe's" etc. A bar owner naming the place after themselves isn't that uncommon.
The staff bots that look like nightmare puppet are apparently called the alpha staff bots which could be the reason they were scrapped maybe the spirit had to much control because that the spirit’s in fnaf have to abide by the programming of whatever robot they possess
I love this theory omg, it’s nice to hear different takes and theories rather than the same ones retold over and over again. You executed it together really well :)
I just CAN'T get over how they drive on the left side of the road. I know it's likely a mistake and this minigame does take place in America but it infuriates me
I 100% agree, this theory is not bad in any way, I just think it untrue. 1. Drives a purple car, SAVE HIM shows that Willy drives a purple car 2. It makes way more thematic sense for it to be him 3. William is shown to be an abusive father + experimenting on his own children 4. The rain shows that William couldnt arrive in his suit (sudden rain feels too convenient) 5. “Later that night” would make no sense if it was a random kids father, what happened THAT night? 6. Why would William go ALL the way to kidnap this ONE kid he doesn’t even know, he could easily just get another
Good job with the video! I never really understood the belief of Yellow Man being William. From a story standpoint, it doesn't really tell us anything if it is William, and contradicts the few facts we already do know about him.
My theory is: Mustard Man is the abusive alcoholic father of an undetermined male MCI kid, and William came to the house in the evening in a gutted/non-springlock suit (doesn’t make sense why Afton would risk the rain, he was a lunatic but he wasn’t an idiot) the child wanted to come along with him to the location, but the child could not break the window. William broke the window for him (glass is not visible outside, so the child could not have broken out himself, possibly the father took away any objects he could break the glass with after the previous time?) and he led the child back to the main location and to the “secret party” with everyone else, and then he killed them (in order for the kid to be considered “killed at Freddy’s” as the poster notice says) It was likely that William knew where he lived because of the distance and because it seems this kid was the most fanatic about Freddy’s of all the MCI kids, so William would have a higher chance to get to know him (the kid probably overshared a bunch) The mound is probably the Mustard Man’s wife/family member or someone he killed in a DUI accident I don’t think the Mustard Man could be connected to and framed for the MCI murders, sure he has a purple car and history of child abuse but his connection to Freddy’s is slim and he was only known to abuse his own son, so it doesn’t make sense why he would kill the other 4 at a location he doesn’t like
This is without a doubt the most satisfying take on the minigame I've seen. Not only does it clear up the og newspaper clippings, which I always thought were retconned, but it just feels right. The evidence was there, the abusive dad, the kid who went to Freddy's often, the suit footprints, even the broken window, the lump of dirt near his own home (most likely the grave site), and no liable alibi for where he was with that same purple shade car. The fact most of the fnaf fanbase even mistook him for Afton makes it feel less of a coincidence, including the color of the man himself, the yellow color could even mean how the police thought he was the suspect, the man in the yellow mascot 👀 I love this theory, and it honestly fills more gaps than any other theory I've seen, there's no new questions or anything, like a puzzle piece. Even Scott saying how the game was meant to clear up things in the past, it fits just right
people often forget some of the first suits, like of spring bonnie, were *cloth* and not springlocks! i always assumed that he'd at least keep one around if they weren't still being used at the time of midnight moterist
I would like to believe the kidnapping theory, the problem being, like in basically all Midnight Motorist theories, the footprints. The child has made multiple footprints in the ground, but there is only one pair of animatronic footprints, as if it teleported. Also, I know it is not meant to be taken seriously, but the mustard man convicted theory has a lot of problems, like how fnaf vr tells us nothing was ever proven in a court of law, how tales of the pizzaplex suggests WIlliam's arrest was common knowledge, how mustard man could literally not be a suspect unless he worked at Freddy's, etc. If the Orange Guy is not William, which nowadays I am starting to believe he is not, I think the car color is just a red herring. Not only that, but William's car is actually blue, like in the movie and like in the fnaf 4 minigame, and it only looks purple because of the darkness, like how William becomes purple in the darkness.
i actually like this theory, if im not trying to overly make sense fricken FNAF then this theory works better than midnight moderist being about the afton's
Tip for thumbnails! Since the Scuper hid the P in “SCOOPER” in your thumbnail, it made it hard to see and i couldn’t tell what the video was gonna be about for a second
The animatronic footprints in front of the broken window can’t have been Spring Bonnie, Springtrap has 5 toes while the footprints only have 3 (like Golden Freddy)
@@ItsJessicur That’s after the FNAF 3 fire though, where Springtrap had to uses pieces of other animatronics (theorized to possibly be Golden Freddy, given the shape of the snout and the paws) to repair part of his body. Springtrap is simply just a decayed version of the original Spring Bonnie.
Omg I just realised something. If the „mustard man” is officially referred to as yellow, then it makes more sense than it seems. According to the colour theory what is the opposite colour of yellow? You guessed it - purple. I think the choice of colour there could be to signify the complete opposite of William Afton, which most likely suggests Henry?
i like your story telling, it makes quite a lot of sense: william was always in the game, but he was the footprints. who else would have been responsible for animatronic footprints near a missing childs bedroom? theres a story from chicas highschool adventures in fnaf 6 that sounds quite similar to story of midnight motorist. the newspapers never directly state that all 5 kids were at freddys before being lured into the backroom, so its possible that midnight motorist belongs to the mci. otherwise it could be connected to the dci as phone guy says: "whatever happens out there [...] has nothing to do with our establishment" it could be possible that some people witnessed charlies murder and just saw the purple car, further linking mustard man with the unnamed suspect from fnaf 1. the newspapers call out that he was caught on camera (perhaps since his son goes there often). however, they also claim that the police theorize the man wore a mascot suit. how would an unrelated person get hold of a mascot suit? perhaps mustard man worked at freddys. there is a theory that jeremy fitzgerald from the fnaf 2 location is mustard man. his son could be jeremy the mci victim. therefore naming the bar "jrs" is a reference to that. the midnight motorist family has a junior and he "can't be here" anymore. furthermore, jeremy junior could be abbreviated as j.j., naming balloon boys twin lol the mount of dirt could be the start of the fnaf 4 gameplay house, since its location looks similar to the one shown in fnaf 4s main menu. but its really unspecific and can have multiple answers. could be the fnaf 4 box, the grave of someone (my bet is on elizabeth because the circumstances of her death are hard to explain to officials), mby a lake, old man consequences, perhaps it will be cleared up sometime down the line. once again, thank you very much for your video!
I was always a MMAndrew believer. Yeah I think Frights is canon to the games. Also it just makes sense to me that MM would be another victim minigame like the other minigames.
thinking back now, i don't see much sense mustard man being purple guy, because there are some things in fnaf that are pretty straight forward. In the minigame we can see that mustard man is looking for the child, so, with him being the spring bonnie, that also lured the kid wouldn't make sense, as well as the kid going to the restaurant where he saw a dead kid, suposing he is CC, also wouldn't make sense (but it could depending on the timeline of events). i think the mustard man's kid could be one of the MCI victims, as we already have one or two minigames in pizzaria simulator that show/tell us how the murders happened. (sorry for bad english)
3:06 I just want to add that if the kid got lured to Freddy's from home, he would be at Freddy's. He probably did get a little party time before being taken to the back room, which would allow those pieces to fit; the newspaper even mentions it was in the "late operating hours", so the timing works too
This is a very interesting and original MM theory but I feel you didn't include some points that would be important to discuss. For convenience sake I'll split this into "Will being mustard man" and "mustard man is his own charactor". As for William being the mustard man, there are two main inturpretations: Crying Child runaway and Micheal runaway, but for general evidence that this is Afton's house, evidence comes from the his car being purple, him being abusive to his children, and the house in the woods bearing resemblence to the house in both the fnaf 4 titlescreen and the fnaf vr dlc hubworld. Another piece of evidence that this is the Afton Household, but only works with Micheal runaway comes from the layout of the minigame, if you overlay the fnaf 4 minigame map over the the midnight motorist map and line up the house enterance with the house, and Fredbear's with Jr's, the paths line up. Further more, if you overlay the SL breaker room map onto it, the mound lines up with the private room. Some problems with this are: 1. Where is the path from the fnaf 4 minigame. 2. (CC runaway) Where's Fredbear's? 3. (Micheal runaway) If Jr's is a shut down Fredbear's turned bar, doesn't that imply Charlie dies at Freddy's - Counter argument: William is shown driving away from somewhere far ouside walking distance, which Fredbear's is in walking distance. 4. Why is William yellow? - Counter argument: William is yellow because we are playing as him so he isn't in shadow, purple being used to signify shadow in the minigames - Counter, counter argument: it's midnight. 5. Why isn't the house the same layout as the fnaf 4 house. For CC runaway the commen theory is that it takes place after Charlie's death and that he's been lured away by Shadow Freddy to Charlie's body, with him interpreting the puppet on her as it killing her, thus giving him his fear of the animatronics. In this theory Micheal is the one watching TV and "that place" is Fredbear's. The mound is either Elizabeth's grave if they believe she died first, or the Circus Baby Bunker before it was used as a rental facility. Some problems with this are: 1. (If Lizzy dies first) why would the Funtimes already exist before Charlie has dies? 2. If Micheal's the one on the chair, then William probably would get mad at his kid telling him off, and probably get angry at him. 3. Why is Micheal protecting CC, this controdics his character. 4. Why would Shadow Freddy leave behind footsteps? - Counter argument: In the Movie Golden Freddy, despite being ghostly in nature, is shown weighing down a car. - Counter, counter argument: Shadow Bonnie is shown to not be as corporial. The Micheal runaway theory has a lot more variations but the main core of it though is that Micheal is the runaway and CC is dead. "Later that night" refers to either the night Charlie died or the CC died, but most of the time it's Charlie's death. In this theory "that place" is either CC's grave, the hospital where CC's being taken care of, or if it's still open: Fredbear's, but Fredbear's is theorised to have shut down and renovated into the Jr's bar. In some theories the mound is where CC's body is buried if he's dead already, if not's it's usually the same as CC runaway: Elizabeth's grave, or the CB Bunker pre-rental facility. This leaves the question of "who is on the chair?" To my knowledge there are 3 main candidates for this. 1. Henry: He was a friend of William and seems likely to help out babysit. He's an adult so William wouldn't be able to lash out at him, but him telling William off could fuel William's hatred towards him. In the fnaf 6 ending Henry says "I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now." when refering to Charlie, so if "Later that night" refers to her death then him babysiting Micheal would fit "No one was there to lift you up in their arms." and him not being there for her. 2. Ms Afton: William wouldn't be able to lash out because she's an adult and it could show why Ms Afton Left. 3. A possible aunt: Evidence for this comes from the movie. Now we discuss who was at the window. Most Micheal runaway I've seen have Golden Freddy possessed by CC luring Micheal somewhere, presumably Freddy's or Fredbear's though some intrupretations have him seeing G.Freddy and running off to CC's grave out of guilt. Evidence for this comes from the CC possibly possessing Golden Freddy, the footshape and the fnaf movie where G.Freddy brakes into Mike's house and takes Abby away. I do believe there is a variant of this theory that uses Shadow Freddy instead. I was going to write about Mustard man as his own character theories but I'm too burnt out from writing the Will = Mustard Man and you did a good job explaining it so I'll just put in some foot notes. • In fnaf 2 the DCI is described as happeing "out there" before the bodies show up at Freddy's one night. • The Scraptrap suit doesn't have many animatronic conponents that can't be explained as remnants of the Springtrap suit, suggesting it could be a mascot costume instead of an animatronic. • Going with the DCI angle, Golden Freddy could be the footprints as he can both teleport and wouldn't yet know SpringBonnie is their killer in desguise. • The mound could be the quickly buried runaway, with William intentually trying to frame Mustard man as William does try "bond" with his victums so he would know of the runaway's abusive and alchoholic father. • "Later that night" could just be after midnight.
