- Mangle, a fan-favorite character in the Five Nights at Freddy's series is such an original animatronic. What exactly is it about him that makes his presence so spine-chilling?

Urrggghh CZcams stop copyrighting my videos!!
Unfortunately the FNAF 4 music from the Bite of ‘87 Markiplier clip is copyrighted, so that section may be muted. I’m so sorry! (again)
Hope you can enjoy the video nevertheless :)
It’s fine atleast the actual question isn’t muted :D
for a moment i thought u meant mark's reaction was copyrighted i almost questioned my king 😭
this is a certified youtube moment
You had to put charlie there in the void you just had to. You got me with that one a knight never lies
we should send a hellfire missile to the youtube headquarters
I legit think the Toy Animatronic, principaly Mangle,are some of the most underutilized characters in the series, they really should've gotten more screen time/lore importance, but they are just treated like random, discardable characters like the Phantoms
play fazbear entertainment storage, that game is canon in my mind 🤯
And the Rockstars are treated the same way as the Toys
I would have really liked if the spirits of the 5 toy animatronics were passed on to new vessels, somehow, furthering their stories, like the FNAF 2 Withered animatronics became the FNAF 1 classic animatronics.
Easy to forget, but... THEY ARE LITERALLY THE RESULT OF A 2ND MCI, WHY IS EVERYONE BRUSHING THAT ASIDE AND HYPING UP JUST THE OGS!?
@@SGF4. I mean to be fair they didn't do much
@@leonardocouto3109, Ultimately it's brushed off nowadays because any intention of a second MCI has almost certainly been retconned away, After fnaf 3 only having 5 spirits getting purple guy, and so much effort put on the names and people behind the first one, it's safe to say that the Save Them minigame no longer matters. My personal interpretation is that the Toys are still haunted, but because they contain the parts of the old withereds inside them and not because they were their own MCI, then at the end of fnaf 2 the newspaper clipping shows how the toys get turned into the classics alongside the withereds. As cool as the toys are, especially mangle, they really don't seem to matter to the lore now and have kinda served their part as just the Fnaf 2s locations animatronics.
"The Hangmangle", as I like to call it, is scary on another level because it makes you feel some sort of guilt. You may not have been involved, but the ominous words and unnerving image of Mangle hanging just make you feel like you did something wrong. Something horrible enough to warrant that happening to a fan-favorite character.
"Hangle" 😂
@@wolfcry087 I don't think there has been a time I've laughed at a dark comment like this as much as I did now
@@ZirconiaGacha Haha, glad that made ya laugh!
if i remember correctly, didn't it turn out that image was just Mangle grabbing the ball in it's mouth?
@@DCPTF2 yea, its the ball they're playing with in the trailer
One thing I'd like to say regarding Mangle. If you pay attention to their endoskeleton, you can notice how small it is. A lot of people tend to depict what they'd think a full-body Mangle would look like as the same height as Foxy, but when you look at the skelton, it's oddly. . . short. It has short arms and legs. If Mangle was meant to be more "kid friendly" since Foxy was considered too scary, wouldn't it make sense for him to have a smaller stature than Foxy. If she's in the kid's cove and was getting torn apart so easily, wouldn't it make sense for something for kids to play with to be more . . . kid-sized?
. . . _holy God you're right._
you mean it?
Toy Foxy just being a tiny lil guy is the cutest mental image
I think part of the reason is that those lower legs are always bowed out quite far, both due to the placement and number of them (there being two in each hip socket means they _can't_ go straight down). So rather than getting the full height from his legs, Mangle has to stand with just over half the height they give her. And the fact that both her heads are mounted on arms means they can go all over the place, be that far above where the neck joint is or staying low to the ground. All of other the Toy animatronics appear to be the same size, though, and since the endoskeleton is standardized for them all it seems to make sense that he'd be the same height as well.
It’s because of the.cute version of the game
“A girl version of Foxy that people will draw weird fa art of.”
I mean, you weren’t wrong…
That being said, poor Chica, Toy Chica, Ballora, and countless other female FNAF characters who just exist and get demeaned like that 😭
@@yeahok8259Especially Chica… ouch.
As someone who surfed the internet, I can confirm some (Roxy in particular) are worse than others (ballora has basically nothing)
Faart lol
@@Tilde1337That’s honestly surprising, but I’m glad that they didn’t do Ballora dirty like that.
I think the funniest part about Mangle is that the game tells you a bunch of _literal toddlers_ tore apart a _metal animatronic_ with enough consistency that the staff gave up on fixing it.
Honestly, I don't really get why no one seems to focus on that. Mangle was never designed to be a tear apart, put back together attraction. Something was wrong with Toy Foxy right from the very beginning. The kids weren't the problem, the pieces were just barely held together in the first place.
What went wrong?
Someone else in the comments proposed a theory in regards to Mangle's limb length. If you notice their limbs are far shorter then the ones on even the other toy animatronics, meaning Toy Foxy may have been the relative height of an Elementry Student and thus far more fragile since the toys are made of plastic.
oh
They just grab a limb like dead snow
@@rikuaotsuki6353Well Fazbear Entertainment is canonically infamous for being run by cheapskates, so I always assumed that they just cut too many corners on Mangle’s production costs
Honestly Mangle's two heads being separate voices is what I love now. It's a concept that hasn't had a chance for exploration before the AR phone game and... I honestly think it's a great addition to the franchise
Maybe it was meant to have a puppet similar to Funtime Freddy but the Exoskeleton of the little hand puppet was lost
@@RaidenKunii bon bon?
I love you go back and forth between calling Mangle a “him” and “her” considering Scott never confirmed what Mangle’s gender was. Beautiful 😂
Edit: Why there so damn many of y’all 😭
Uhh no the go by ‘’yes’ pronouns/j
Mangle is the gender queer representation that the FNaF series needed.
Genderfluid Mangle is the strongest Mangle
The way I see it is: one head is female and the other is male (they have separate personalities). But at the end of the day this is a robot, so who cares.
@@littlelady9801 FNaF World Spring Bonnie on the loading screen has "Male? Female? It's a rabbit, who cares?".
in truth
we've never found mangle scary, in a traditional sense
but in a more tragic sense
no matter how scared we are, we can't help but think to ourself
Poor, little, toy fox
people really can't stop themselves, can they?
I didnt know i could feel bad for metal spaghetti
@@Echo_8054 well
when said metal spaghetti is likely in constant agony
that tends to happen
@•.gl!tch3d Gacha.• the squishy metal spaghetti
Exactly! And thats something that came back in SB, the animateonics now have actual minds but are controlled by an outer force, the things we do to them- it just feels wrong. And even tho they attack me, i could never feel scared of them. I was always scare FOR them
I feel like I wouldn't jump at the sight of mantel if I was the guard, I'd just look at then and just sorta start crying, poor fox
I like how in the image sneakpeak for fnaf 2 indicates Mangle 'fixed' as Toy Foxy but in reality it was a broken torn up fox because of the kids. When even in the poster in the puppet's room you can see Mangle almost looking.. like an actual toy animatronic and not some mangled mess. So, Scott gave us a shock of surpirse. It really adds to the lore, and The Mangle has always been my favorite animatronic, I love its concept and how it was created. Only to be abandoned and reused as a literal action figure toy, with all the take apart and put back together.
I always knew Mangle had something more to it but honestly I was never "interested?". I was more into the main lore of FNaF and Springtrap being my favourite character to this day. It feels weird to look back at the things I knew about but skipped so long ago. Thank you for compiling it up into one material that the holy algorithm blessed me with.
I feel the exact same way! And Springtrap is also my favourite character, are we twins? xdd
@@AngelDustMyBel0vedbro,i was not liking Springtrap as kid,but after lore expands,it become my Favorite
What you talk about with the two alternate voices talking about being beautiful reminded me of Roxy and how she seems to speak to herself from 2 perspectives. I wonder if there's any correlation.
Great video!
YOO ID fantasy! Also, great point i didn’t realize that myself
Also that the animatronics made more kid friendly have both 2 personalities with the daycare attendant being both sun and moon and mangle having two heads (also one being more peppy and the other being downright sinister)
Hi ID Fantasy!! ❤I love ur vids
When discussing double trouble type animatronics you should never overlook Funtime Freddy/bonbon. I know they aren’t as connected as the others but I still think they’re in this category
Mangle is roxy confirmed? Matpat, i have a theory.
I feel sad though, that I've yet to see an animation of Mangle making him move like I would expect him to move; flailing and lurching about randomly like something out of John Carpenter's "The Thing".
I imagine it would vary. In an enclosed space, there's so many limbs involved that the movement would be rather smooth - like that in Vent Repair. In a wide-open area, though, on flat ground, the Mangle _would_ lurch and struggle. Sure, certain configurations might be faster than others, and I think FNaF 2 did miss a great opportunity to change Mangle's gameplay and model each night in that way, but the unnatural and imbalanced shapes will always be a disadvantage there, as great as they are otherwise.
metal tumbleweed
im surprised you didnt replace the second him with 'her'
@@carnivorrax8542 Sorry, I'm a Mangle=Dog purist personally
(And I was surprised to hear that theory is now being questioned? Why is that?)
@@matthewmatthew981 wdym mangle=dog purist, and whdym by theory?
Honestly, I think the dark.jpg fear factor is also due to mood whiplash; a cute version of the character, in a very colorful game, suddenly in a very dark situation in black-and-white? It screams “wrong” on a subconscious level, and the act depicted itself cements it further. It creates a new, sinister context to underline the cheerful and bright appearance of FNaF World, and is just plain scary.
Also, I’m curious…at around the 7:57 mark, you were talking about how brightening the image further didn’t add anything else, so I’m guessing you added a dim version of UCN’s “The One You Should Not Have Killed” in the dark space to the right? Cause…why?
I'm not the only insane Guy down here ?? They were something in this pict when it got brighten up, right ???
@@wolfinbox3804 yeah, I saw it too…I don’t think Cassidy’s/TOYSNHK’s face was in the original dark.jpg, but I was really, really confused as to why it was added in??
@@VDiddy5000 bro i don't know neither xD i'm still drown in confusion xD i can try to brith up the og dark.png if i have sometime to check if it was on it, i Can notifie you if i found anything !
It was just to emphisize there nothing being in that blackened space. There isn't anything there, it's just for dramatic effect to say "no other horrifying things are here, even if you keep trying"
Yeah i saw cassidy there i thought i was kinda seeing things(and sorry if i call her cassidy thats how i know her)
If you brighten the hanging Mangle image enough, she has the ball of the paddle ball in her mouth so she is not dead
It could also be claimed that the representation is that the ball is shoved down Mangle's throat. It's impossible to say for sure.
@@ultmateragnarok8376 I'm not too involved with the correct quotes, but I'm fairly sure it was Scott that had to clarify this in the end? Take it with a grain of salt, but I think he had to point out mangle "got stuck trying to get the ball" instead of hanging so people would stop making theories about him being depressed/insane
@@breezyq6449 He literally _was_ depressed at the time, and the whole series has long since been a psychological horror setting in the background of the resource management gameplay.
I feel like not enough people got this even back then, it's a continuation of the gag of Mangle and their paddle ball from the end of the first FNAF World trailer
@@ultmateragnarok8376 while he may have been depressed at the time, the game series has been confirmed to _not_ be some representation of his innermost struggles, as it was actually outside sources that caused him to pursue the horror genre. FNAF 1 was made because of criticisms that his animal figures were creepy-looking, and then every game made after that (up to Pizza Sim) was made because he didn't like something about the previous game. 1 was too easy, 2 didn't have much lore, 3 had a bad jumpscare, 4 felt inconclusive, etc. Etc. And that much is obvious if you play the games themselves- every game has an underlying flaw or problem that the next game fixes.
Ironically, FNAF World is the only game in the series that was made out of genuine stress and disorder, and it's pretty obvious to tell when interening to his interviews.
Edit: CZcams really _MANGLED_ my comment, ahahahahahahahahahahabHHHHHH- that's a joke, my phone is shitty.
I love the usage of both "him" and "her" to adress Mangle. Great touch! Its nice to see spider-foxy getting some love!
I love her design. I keep replaying FNAF VR’s Mangle Vent Repair, and, even tho i can finish it in like 15-20 seconds, never seeing Mangle past the linear scare, i just stay in to just see her crawling through the vents. She looks so cool there! I also love how her Hard Mode level makes her second head a WHOLE NEW ANIMATRONIC, with their own jumpscare! It’s so cool to see the head on it’s own!
That's not the second head being a new animatronic, but a Shadow Mangle with the same appearance style as Shadow Bonnie from FNaF 2 itself. It's still very interesting to see (obviously not particularly lore significant, but interesting nevertheless). The model animations are visible in the files and are identical to Mangle's own from that level, which is also one of my own favorites - the idea is rather chilling, and the speed Mangle demonstrates is quite impressive. Build-A-Mangle in the DLC also comes with some cool animations and a more replayable minigame.
Really loving the attention Mangle’s been getting on CZcams lately. It is definitely deserved 💖
Fnaf JR’s really showed Mangle some love. Utterly spine-chilling love, but love nonetheless.
As I got older, I ended up giving myself a weird theory that Mangle was possessed by someone with severe depression. Some who felt "broken" inside. The dark.jpg added onto that for me. I also feel like Mangle's main head thinking of itself as beautiful shows, to me, that if Mangle was possessed by someone with depression, part of their depression might have to do with people making them feel very unattractive, so they tell themself their beautiful since no one else did (I personally think she is lovely and Id compliment him constantly if I could). No one else has to believe it, it's just something I like to believe
As someone with ADHD and depression, I gravitate toward Mangle as my favorite animatronic.
Especially with your theory/interpretation of Mangle and depression. As someone who frequently feels “broken” anyway, I sympathize with Mangle.
To Be Beautiful 😢 SARAHHHHHHH
i love mangle; his design is so cool; and its sort of funny to me how one of her creepiest appearances and just one of the creepier things in the whole series is a fnaf world teaser where theyre being hanged with blame put on the fans
while his actual model isnt too cute fanart and interpretations especially with her mangled body still mangled rather than the just being funtime foxy can be really cute and cool
i love that he climbs on ceilings and she can just sorta crawl around like theyre some f***ed up weird *thing;* hes got cool staticy stuff that i love; similar to how i love lolbits jamming sound and nighmares staticy sound
as for mangle in action; i loved her in help wanted; their vent repair section is pretty neat but he really trully shines when she is in fnaf 2 imo; the animation of them crawling into the room and onto the roof is one of my favourite visuals in fnaf; right up there with dj music man as a whole
mangles prolly like my fourth favourite fnaf i reckon
mangle's gender is yes, scott proved this.
@@Laya3466 huh? that how they've always;s been referred to
Mangle has stayed my favorite since FNAF 2, so thanks for talking about him! It’s fun to see a recent detailed video about her wacky design

Hearing a radio coming out of a disfigured nightmarish animatronic saying “We’ve got a little boy, he’s got no frontal lobe.” Is scarier than anything in security breach.
Mentioning Mangle for the Bite was an interesting choice, as I've personally believed it was Toy Chica. Mangle has no possible way to have been near somebody to bite them. Mangle, being the equivalent of a ripped up plushie, doesn't stand. It stands when it's trying to KILL people. We see it, not standing, but laying there after being ripped apart. It's also confirmed that Mangle shouldn't be able to climb on the ceiling in FNaF AR, as the employees remaking it actually had a LOT of trouble making it, not because of it being confusing to put together, but because *Mangle was never able to climb on the ceiling.* The ONLY reason it was able to was because of the spirit residing within it. If anybody saw it trying to do either, they would NOT be getting close enough to get bit.
"where is my beak? lodged in your forehead of course."
Yeah, it could have been Toy Chica, but it wouldn't be a "bite". A similar case to the "bite" of 83' that was actually a kid being crushed.
pretty sure the toys werent possessed, they had police database scanners and mistook michael for peepaw afton iirc
@Aetheriox they are possessed (they arent in sb). They also hate adults which is why they kill them.
@@AFunkyPigeon pretty sure that's just a headcanon, because there's no evidence to say that anything besides the original 5 were possessed initially (excluding baby and the like)
Oh, the Mangle. One of my favorite characters of all time, for that uniqueness, that versatility. The disconcerting, grating static interspersed with radio signals as though it's not just a broken voice box or speaker, but something that shouldn't be there. A memory, perhaps, or a piece connected that was never part of the whole. There's the general shape, with the four legs and only three feet, as the more mobile of Mangle's two left hands is indeed mounted to a leg and not an arm; and the two four-segment long arms and one two-segment arm, small by comparison, all giving a very imbalanced effect with two heads on one side and outright nothing on the other. The bowtie still strapped to what amounts to the neck of the main head, even if it's an arm initially. It gives such an animalistic feel, like you stated, partly because this thing can't seemingly be reasoned with and isn't afraid to announce its presence with loud movement and constant noise, as well as its erratic behavior even if it does succeed and get into the office - it doesn't rush to kill you, it just hangs there and stares. Watches and listens, eventually swinging in for a bite.
Then there's that teaser, the 'dark' image. This animalistic entity, this terrifying machine we've never known the true nature of, be it the mind of a child - or multiple - or an advanced AI learning as it goes, boasting unparalleled mobility through spaces large and small and a basically infinite field of vision, and something has not just killed it but killed it in a way to make an example of it. The body is intact but inert, and the hanging wouldn't do it - not just due to the two heads, but because of the mechanical nature of it - so something did this as a message. The framing of the image and the threatening nature of the text adds to that even more so. Then there's the other interpretation of the image - that the backlash against the new turn of the series caused Mangle, this creature which has gone through torture unfathomable as it was torn apart again and again and again and eventually refused help to get moving, barely scraping by on the mismatched limbs forced into its sockets - aside from the torture of a child's soul murdered then having this done to them by other children - to do this to _itself_ instead. The choice of Adventure Mangle, rather than any of the other variants, supports this somewhat more - that it saw what it was remained hated, even with the form it had from hate before then.
Whatever the intent of the image was, it certainly got a message across. Several, really, and which one was the intent remains unknown, but it's certainly a striking image.
Honestly Mangle is my favourite character in all of FNAF. There is something tragic about how much suffering they have gone through and they are just so alien compared to the other animatronics
It's even sadder when you take into account that someone spent time on toy foxy; someone who had to watch them get destroyed by the little kids. Man. Even if it was William Afton, seeing something that you've put effort into like *that* must be heartbreaking
Forget all of the years of speculation and the timeline, my new headcanon is that Afton killed all the kids because he was pissed that they kept breaking his crap.
@@peanutbutter6720 YES.
@@peanutbutter6720 it's canon now, I don't make the rules!
I remember seeing Mangle's full design for the first time in the cameras on fnaf 2 and I always thought that view of it laying on the ground in Kid's Cove was so unnerving and uncanny. It doesn't scare me as much as it scared me as a child but I still think it is very scary and ominous looking. Mangle really does give off the vibes of some sort of animal that's injured but still poses as a threat to anyone around it. It is easily favourite character in FNAF 2 and my favourite variant of Foxy !!
It's definitely an intentional choice that, while nearly everything on Mangle's body is missing its casings, she still retains a head and jaw in its entirety, with all those teeth on display. As well, his ears are completely intact even with the few wires dangling from their bases, keeping the basically one-to-one animal head on a very much not humanoid body.
@@ultmateragnarok8376 Agreed ! Mangle's design is just genius !
When FNAF World was announced, people didn't just hate the concept in itself, they also heavily targeted cute mangle specifically. Cute mangle to them was the figurehead for what they disliked about the concept of this game and so they were vicious in how much they hated it. I'm sure that's what inspired that image, both as a way to call out the unreasonable hatred for this cute character, and to call out the fact that this game will indeed still have dark aspects to it.
Mangle’s been one of my favorites for a good while now, not because she’s scary, but because she’s.. sad. Pitiful, almost. I’ve always cared more about the tragedy half of the Horror Tragedy genre Fnaf has, mangle being a great part of it.
I’ve always seen him as a creature that simply hates and despises everything it has become. A mess of parts, ripped apart for the joy of kids. A monster who would be torn apart, piece by piece, every single day, and eventually being abandoned by the few who would bring him back to perfection.
Their appearance in AR was amazing, and gave their character even more depth with a confirmed personality. My favorite line is that “Never again. Never ever ever.” one, it shows how much they were traumatized by watching themself be taken apart by laughing toddlers who seemed to take joy in their agony. Now that I think of it, this specific bit of Mangle probably inspired one of my favorite characters I’ve made, even if it wasn’t on purpose.
I love how we've evolved from mangle gender war to "mangle uses he/she pronouns interchangeably and we respect that"
I use they/them for them
Something I find interesting about the image is that if you focus on the empty space then you’ll see none other than your own face. If you stare at the void, it’s bound to stare back and all that but it truly pushes the idea that this is somehow your fault. Even if you weren’t responsible the combination of the text on the bottom and your reflection makes you feel an even greater form of guilt.
I really like Mangle because its clearly part of the toy animatronics line, yet so different from the rest at the same time. Its not just a standard "replacement for Freddy/Bonnie/Chica" like the others, it can be its whole own thing. Mangle was always up there with Puppet and BB getting a phantom form and nightmare form, elevating it above just the standard toys. Mangle got that extra bit of personality and lore that makes the good animatronics stand out from the bunch. Love that mechanical abonimation fox
I feel like in the ruin dlc there could be another DJ music man type segment but with mangle because of how similar they are
I wish the idea of Mangle being possessed by a dog was real, It's such a cool concept and would explain Mangles strange behavior perfectly
Great vid btw these videos focusing on single characters are really good!
I always seen it as an embodiment of hatred because of how different they are to every other animatronic
I still like to think its real lol
Mangle and Springtrap will always have a special place in my heart for being the only two animatronics who I genuinely feared as a child. I still remember the nightmares mangle gave me as the first character to ever haunt my dreams. I remember how when going down the stairs in the dark I always imagined mangle hanging above me waiting to bite my head off. A few times I could swear I even heard the radio static. Good times.
Oh god. Never in my many years of being in the fandom have I heard the radio chatter transcribed. That's bone chilling.
I like how we never use they/them and stick to the alternating he/him and she/her so consistently
I mean, i don't recall him ever being called 'they' in the games, so that explains it lol
It legit caught me off guard that this video would tackle The Mangle of all characters. For some reason, I actually thought that the video would be an analysis on Circus Baby because of context clues in The Fourth Closet. Even though, I still really like this video. I LOVE the Mangle so much.
Glad more people are recognizing her for how unique she is
I have no idea why, but Mangle's endoskeleton head has such a badass and scary voice I actually prefer it in AR.
I will always be interested in what Mangle could have looked like, as the teaser image gives her a hook and she looks almost circus-y with some blue in the design too. I love the Mangle we got, but I wouldn't mind seeing a full version of that initial design, but I can't imagine what FNAF 2 would have been like were it not for this change.
Great video!!! I’m sorry about the copyright stuff man, you really put such effort and heart into these. Mangle is such a unique and iconic character!
mangle has always spoken to me in a way i can't fathom. i relate to her so much it hurts, the way they get right back up after being torn apart, still trying to give all that they can to entertain the children and keeping a positive aditude despite being broken. mangle was, is, and will be forever my favorite fnaf character ❤
This animatronic Fox made young autistic/adhd me feel seen, and looking back they definitely helped me crack my non-binary egg too.
@@InkSans_FandomSoda omg same! i'm autistic too and i've always taken a major interest in mangle from the start.
i must say, you've made me look at mangle from a different angle, i remember waking up and checking to see if any new fnaf news was about and seeing that image of mangle just freaked me out beyond belief, that day felt so wrong
thinking of that image makes me miss the old days where fnaf wasn't afraid to be more visually dark and spooky. nonetheless great video :)
I love how you said he and her like how it does whenever she is mentioned he is a cool animatronic
Oh wow, I didn't realize that this came out today. I was on a fnaf analysis binge and found this one. Your editing is so good and effective to what you're talking about, and I'll admit some of the background imaging actually spooked me when I noticed it, well done!!
Mangle will always be my favorite fnaf character.
mangle and the puppet are my faves
0:38 I think the fear came not from the image itself but from the thought of Scott’s sanity at that point
For all I know he just got THAT saddened that the community hated the idea of the dream being the ending of the series
Yeah those kinds of images I think usually reflect the creator and how they're feeling rather than it being a portrayal of the character in the image.
Can I just say I LOVE how background music is implemented into these videos?? Like, instead of just being unedited and just lowered in volume, it’s muffled into the background and adds more atmosphere and flavor to the video!!
I'm happy Mangle is being recognized
Someone probably already said this, but when analyzing the static it may seem as though you hear the words but thats just your ears tyring to make sense of it. Scott has comfirmed that it was just some random static sound he used. Idk kinda interesting ig
another thing that i've thought of, while not going with the scary stuff, is how good of a job william/henry did when designing mangle and the endo 02 that even kids can dismantle and rebuild it, kudos to the designer
Mangle will always hold a special place in my heart. There will never ever be another animatronic like Mangle.
I think one of the best parts about Mangle was their renders in FNAF 2. They were always in the shadows, partially visible and the rest of her body offscreen. The later games undo this by rendering her body entirely, lightening up her palette, and even changing her head from having a broken, hanging jaw, to look like it's smiling amigably
Mangle got some new light thanks to Jr's amazing final boss
My favorite thing about Mangle is all the discourse around their gender. The series playing into this by using he/she/they at different times was beautiful.
Hilarious that people forgot not only the existence of genderfluid people (although FNAF 2 did come out years ago at this point, so genderfluidity wasn't known much about)...
But that this is a robot. I really don't think the gender of a robot matters.
No mangle isn't genderfluid the gender is simply "yes"

@@hollowwoods7130 Someone in the replies or the people I'm referencing in the original comment? Because nowadays Mangle's gender is mostly a joke, I was here since the early days. I've seen things lol
Mangle is one of the few fan favourites that isn’t “overrated” and is completely deserving of the love
When you switch from "he" to "her" in the same sentence. Consistency on point
7:57 that scared me when you said no mater how much you brighten the image nothings there and you added a faint silhouette of Cassidy
Cassidy
@@cawsomeaolin thank you I suck at remembering names
it's hanged, you can say that somebody hung a coat but not about a person being the one who experiences the hanging
The hanging Mangle image has always scared me… well not scared, more like an undefinable, confusing, and uncomfortable feeling- specifically, a feeling of loss. I know this is an odd comparison, but if you’ve played ddlc, you’d know about the Sayori scene at the end of act 1. That scene instills the exact same feeling as the Mangle image. It’s like you feel as though you could’ve prevented it- that if you did something different, it wouldn’t have happened. The guilt and sorrow of a sudden change. It’s crazy that a set of pixels and simple but ominous sentences can make you experience such a visceral feeling.
Mangle is my favorite animatronic and character out of the whole francize. There is just something so haunting and sad about them and how they were never fixed and just left to be broken for childrens entertainment.
Mangle: the body positivity icon (at least half of them)
mangles always been one of, if not my number one favorite animatronics in the game. not only does he stand out from everyone as such a unique concept, but I've also always been fascinated by her untold story, especially after funtime foxy was introduced in sister location. mangle feels like one of the only characters who gets a story to himself, unlike almost every else who can be grouped with other characters (ex; the og fnaf chars are all essentially interchangeable story wise, having no real history to themselves, unless you look at foxy being out of order I guess?). to go from this high tech killing machine to a mess of parts, only able to shambles around and climb on walls, then to commit one of the most iconic atrocities in the series, as if she never really changed from that killing machine. it's almost a shame this backstory has so little relevance to the plot of the games
not only can i apprechiate the basic content of this video, i can also apprechiate the choice of music
I love how you kept the "He is an endo and she has a foxy like mask"
What's funny about that hanging mangle pic is that it just mangle biting the ball of the paddle like a fish when it has color
Mangle... He's beautiful, I love her 🤩
A fun fact to note, in the image showing mangle hanging, they’re not actually being hung in that way. As far as I know, people have colorized the image to reveal mangle is hanging onto the ball instead of the rope around its neck. Either way though this image still stands as unsettling and dark, even with this context the image alone still has its fear.
Honestly I just came here to say that the way Mangle is positioned in the vents is so cute.
"Even if you britten the picture nothing can be seen" *proccedes to see the cassidy face*
Idk if anyone commented on this, but I loved the little Easter egg during the section on the hanging mangle photo, where if you brighten the screen a face appears in the background for a couple seconds. Great video!
i wanna point out the great music choices and specifically how it was edited to be muffled which fits the video very nicely
Mangle has always been one of my favourites. She's this strange, erratic mess of parts with two heads and he's got this level of self-confidence that most people can only dream of.
Plus, Adventure Mangle is just really freaking cute.
Mangle is my favorite. A tragic backstory, cute, and just mysterious.
One thing that bugged me about the mangle gender discourse is that people seem to forget the game is set in 1987. I seriously doubt a company in 1987 would make a male character for toddlers who is pink and wears lipstick. Mangle themself doesnt gave a gender but they were probably branded a female by the restaurant because it was the 1980s so pink=girl

Balloon Kid?
Balloon Kid!?
BALLOON KID?!?
Balloon Non-Descriptively-Gendered Child
Ever since I saw Mangle for the first ever time I absolutely fell in love with them, I'm really sad they arent really seen as any major character just some animatronic that exists and I really wish they had gotten more screen time
Mangle has definitely always been my favorite animatronic since i’ve gotten into the game. Glad to see her get some love i feel like back then there wasn’t much real info about the mangle considering how little we knew. but i’ve always thought he was pretty cool
OH MY GOD I WANT THAT “Darkest moments in FNAF” VIDEO PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!❤
I love how he can't decide wheter to call Mangle him or her
nah cuz that image at the start genuinely kept me up at night as a kid
Gotta be honest, Mangle was and is always my favourite animatronic.
ooh, that “darkest moments” video does sound interesting!
He put the cassidy face on the hangle screen, and when I first saw it it scared the crap out of me, because he said nothing else was on there.
The mangle has always been one of my favourite characters because they are truly so creepy, how they look when they hang from the ceiling in the office in FNAF2, the wide open mouth, the single eye focused straight on you. And the fact that they skitter around like a hurt and scared animal is just so unsettling
Something I haven't seen people speculate or talk about Mangle's gender is the fact that it's two heads are completely different beeings. If Mangle's two heads were originally part of different animatronics, couldn't it be that one head is from a feminine animatronic, and the other one for a masculine one? And if that's the case...could it be that when someone talks about Mangle, depending if it adress it like "He" or "She", they're talking about one of it's heads specifically?
Nice video man! I am loving this content! New sub
I’m half way through and the chemical plant music is honestly a fitting vibe for the section (5:27)
That imagine is honestly very unnerving, like poor Mangle.
Your videos are INCREDIBLE man! Keep up the good work 👍 (Also I love your titles lol)
Unrelated to the video, but she was also the only character that got sliced nearly to bits by Chica in the Tony Crynight series.
Poor thing got Zandatsu’d without even knowing until it was too late.
Mangle has always been my favorite since I was a kid, love the video!
i love opening the video to this is one of my favourite images as mangle is hanging
I think if you brighten the hanging mangle picture up, you’ll see that mangle isn’t dead. It’s instead grabbing its ping pong paddle ball in its mouth
I mean… That didn’t stop people drawing weird fanart of Mangle. Tentacle artists says otherwise.
I dunno if this has been said yet, but that teaser actully depicts her biting on the paddleball, not hanging from it 😅
Mangle is peak animatronic design (in terms of horror) and I love her. Being so strange and different from all the other animatronics by not having a suit on her endo, the secondary head, the way she climbs across the ceiling, and especially the chilling garbled noise she makes. Peak animatronic design all the way back in the 2nd game, no wonder people are calling the Glamrocks “not scary”
Thanks now I know more information about this animatronic
