20:43 tbh i’m thinking this might actually be more related to the killing game as a whole?? and how for it to end, for their situation to be “revolutionized,” there needs to be more people dying (in a meta sense, because we know we’re far from over with the number of deaths that’ll happen before this killing game will end, in david’s case, because he thinks the only way for the killing game to end is to literally kill near-everyone off in an incorrect vote or something similar)
Spoilers for chapter 2 episode 13! I just realized that the person holding someone’s hand (presumably David’s) at 31:15 looks really similar to when Arei held David’s hand in CH2 Ep13 (timestamp 21:39) idk if it means anything I just noticed the similarities and figured I’d point it out lol
I’m commenting post the new episode being drooped, your theory of David and Xander being in love (platonically or romantically) seems spot on! Amazing theory!
this is SO well done, it's really informative (but not too confusing) while also being humourous and y'know- not boring?? great job, i seriously love this video. drdt theory and analysis videos can be sorta hard to find, so for a nearly 2 hour and 45 minute long video on the MV being made is just. drdt heaven?? thank you so much for this video, it's amazing
20:08 I might be able to throw that constriction out the window by proposing that BV is reliving the moments surrounding his death and the conversation happening at a later time.
Honestly? I believe Mike Runaway for many reasons(including the ones given in video). Such as: *Evan can just be scared in general or it be a childish misunderstanding *William is a literally pycho, I can absolutely see him wanting to control his children and pit them against each other in any way possible *Why would Michael talk to his drunk abusive father like that? *Maybe Mike watches TV that way because of his mother? *Maybe Mike was moved to that room post-bite to be tormented like that one Pizzaplex story says *Golden Freddy could ABSOLUTELY teleport to that location *Its normal for older siblings to tease and bully their younger siblings(even if Michael took it too far, William shouldn't have encouraged it the torment like it's implied he did) *I am a firm believer in bite victim first because it's the only TRUE accident in FNaF. No intentional killer robots, no murder, just a prank taken to far.
Wish RU-vid recommended this to me sooner because this is super well done! Incredibly thorough analysis and super wel put together!!! I love David very much and this video does him so well thank you
i just don't see henry as a 100% good guy. i feel like there's almost no character in the franchise that's supposed to be a 100% good angel, everyone has dickish tendencies. i feel like henry is like, somewhat of a good guy, but the fact that he is directly responsible for setting up what we have to go through for 6 days in FFPS is pretty questionable at the least. almost similar to movie william owning the pizzeria and hiring night guards knowingly to get killed by the animatronics, oh but henry's is for a good cause so its fine i guess. my biggest question is where the f is our taser during the office gameplay?? T_T
1:46:31 I believe Teruko is the one talking there in both. Her name (Mai) his face (Brother, as seen by his face being hidden in the recent 4 year anniversary art) Even though you left me (her brother again, the two were orphaned, and her brother got adopted while she didn't, meaning she never saw him again, also why she doesn't remember his face)
I subscribe to Michael Runaway, but I also believe that's Shadow Freddy out there because of what Sire Squawks calls the "Shadow Stand theory," which is basically that Shadow Freddy is an agony monster birthed from... honestly, take your pick, and it latched onto William because of how much agony he's capable of causing.
I'm like 20 minutes in so I don't know if you come back to this eventually. But the whole "most pleasant thing is being a victim" could be referring to both Xander and Arei who are the literal victims who have essentially been exonerated of their personalities and bad deeds by the rest of the cast.
Great video. I love Charlie/the puppet as well as Henry a lot and this gave me a lot of insight about their characters. I wish they would have acknowledged Henry's wrongdoings more and explored his character because the lefty stuff was really disturbing.
What if the name "JR's" is a metaphor for the second of the Fredbears franchise, Fredbear' and Friends? JR's could represent the JR of the franchise's places (as in from father to son, a JR is considered when a father has a son with the same name), so considering Fredbear's Family Diner and Fredbear and Friends both being diners and Fredbear and Friends coming after in 1983, what if that could be tied to Jrs simply being F&F? And then tie in the bite death and more.
How William Afton Become A Murderer (this is my headcanon/in my AU, not official) William Afton was once a good man who co-founded Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria with Henry Emily. However, the children who frequented the pizzeria would often mock and mistreat him, which caused William a lot of emotional pain. Despite trying to express his feelings to the kids, they would only laugh at him and tease him further. This constant bullying eventually led William to a dark place where he sought revenge by torturing and killing the children in the backrooms. Unfortunately, when the Missing Children Incident became public knowledge, it was revealed that the children were not as cruel as William had believed. They had only been pranking him for a long time and planned to redeem themselves later. Phone Guy, William's best friend who was closer to him than Henry, knew this truth all along since he had experienced the same kind of treatment before. However, he remained patient and eventually received gifts from the kids as a sign of their love and affection. William deeply regretted his actions but it was too late. The children, especially Cassidy (Golden Freddy) and Andrew (Security Puppet) who were behind Ultimate Custom Night, now harbored a genuine hatred towards him and wanted to get revenge at all costs. Lastly, I ship Golden Freddy and Puppet as a couple with Golden Freddy being a girl and Puppet being a boy. I think Happy Frog is possessed by Charlotte, not the Puppet, and Michael Brooks is possessing Nedd Bear. This is a hard effort to make, please like if you agree! And tell your opinions about my headcanon/AU 👇
I always thought that Henry was supposed to be an unreliable narrator and I think that might have been what Scott was going for with all of the different horrible things that he does so but, I can definitely see where you think that isn't what Scott was going for but we can only assume what Scott was really going for here. Also the character encyclopedia just gets a stupid amount of FNAF lore wrong soooooooo
Later media try to also gaslight us into thinking that the puppet is right side up inside of Lefty. But from the scene where we can see the puppet inside of Lefty in the back alleyway her leg stripes are the only thing that can be in the arms meaning that she's upside. Didn't think this was a big point but I just thought it was a cool fun fact
hi, dav-suburbiia from tumblr here. amazing work, the effort that went into this is astonishing. sorry, I'm very late to the party in terms of watching and commenting, but please know that I will forever be impressed by video essays like these, especially ones that delve into something as mysterious and complex as DRDT's lore. kudos! 👏
There is no debate everyone is wrong, the person watching tv is wearing a dress yet everyone thinks it’s Micheal, the same Micheal who put his little brother in the mouth of Fred bear now suddenly cares about his little brother? “Leave him alone he’s had a bad day” does that sound like Micheal, no it doesn’t… and if later that day is the same day William killed Charolette, and he killed Charolette because he was angry crying child died at the hands of his own robots, why would he later that day harass the crying child, who got his head bit earlier, and how did crying child escape through the window Missing his frontal lobe…? Sometimes you have to use logic when theorizing…
omfg i have watched the entire video, really really appreciate the insane (pun intended) amount of work you put into it! gosh drdt fandom is something else /vpos
Crackpot theory time: what if footnote 11 is linked to Whit’s mom, i mean his last name is five letters, and the subtract 4 thing… and like that’s all my proof so… yeah…
did 87 even happen? everyone assumes 83 happening means there were 2 bites, but Scott did say he only retconned one detail, and considering the complete fluff that most "understood" details are speculation. a solid detail like a said detail changing would definitely be considered a retcon, not an alternative theory.
Cool theory, but there's one problem 8 bit fredbear from clock ending/adventure fredbear from dialog is talking about scott when talking about puppetmaster and the one who pulls the strings The proof for that is mobile port dialog from 5th world "I hear PUPPETMASTER from here! You got to hurry! I mean HE'S NOT EVEN FINAL BOSS ANYMORE, HE'S REPLACED WITH A RAINBOW" (Chica's magic rainbow)
Personally i think its mangle. The reason behind this is kind of a headcanon but let me explain In FNaF3 the phantoms are hallucinations caused by the shitty maintenance in the FNAF 3 locations. now the FNaF 3 player is either Michael or Henry(due to their history with Fazbear Inc in general and William himself) Now while Michael’s hallucinations are caused by his Night Guarding experiences in the Establishment throughout the years.Fir Henry i think we can play around a little What if the Phantoms are a representation of each mistake He unwilling caused due to his inaction. Phantom Freddy-Fazbear in general or The MCI that happened in the original Freddy’s Phantom Chica-Suzie the first MCI victim Phamtom Foxy-Likely a representation of Michael Afton The kid of his business partner that got caught up in his fathers sins+sins of his own Phantom Puppet-his daughter.notably she has the longest jumpscare…maybe his guilt is affecting him more? Phantom BB-The DCI(FNaF2 save them minigame victims) And Phantom Mangle-The Bite of 87 culprit that lead an innocent man by one of his creation(…if he’s not the Freddy Bully in FNAF4 but regardless he got caught in the middle)
Hah I love that notrealnamenotatall also called out the same thing, I completely agree that Henry isn't exactly dad you would dream of, also I believe that the mimic story is about Edward and david paralleling Henry and Charlie
Freaking out because the laugh at 2:29:22 is literally David's laugh. Like, that's how its written in dialogue and how David's voice actor delivers it (best example off the top of my head is the CG in chapter 2 where David takes Nico's secret away from Ace). It doesn't really mean anything other than basically confirming that it's David who's laughing.
This is incredible, the detail is amazing, thank you for this!! Going A Little Bit feral but will probably end adapting some of these to my own theories!!
