    Theorists, today I'm taking you all the way back… before FNAF Security Breach, before Sister Location, before any of the games that we currently know and LOVE. We’re going back to the inception of Fazbear Entertainment. I’ve recently made a discovery that changes everything… not necessarily a great discovery, I’d maybe go as far as to call it… Mediocre.

      If Orange guy is Afton. We could assume him not being purple means he hasn't become full evil and killed yet. Making Midnight the earliest point in the timeline we have seen in the games. Only thing that's weird with that scene, is the animatronic footprint outside where the kid supposedly ran off.

    I honestly really love the connections Matt's making with William and Henry's backstory. The question of "Why did William Afton start killing" has ALWAYS bothered me and up until this point the best answer anyone could ever seem to find was that the crying child, his son, had died. And it didn't sit right with me that I had to feel such sympathy for someone who would proceed to kill SO many kids. Knowing it could have started with being jealous of Henry just sits with me better.

    W. Chica’s UCN line is iconic. “I was the first, I saw everything.” Many of us assumed that meant she was the first animatronic possessed-and maybe it still does. But what if that means she was the first animatronic built under Afton and Henry’s partnership? She saw their relationship, she saw Afton’s work, she saw it all. When the child comes to possess her, the memories of the robot are passed to the ghost. The ghost saw Afton’s descent and what led him to kill kids.

    • @islaythejabberwokky

      The static-like robotic quality of Withered Chica's voice line (as opposed to the ghostly whispers behind the characters' voices that indicate Cassidy's speaking through them, or the way Marionette's voice is clearly Charlie's spirit-- reverb effects and all) would support this! It's so unique out of all the lore-heavy lines in that it's purposefully distorted and robotic and without any hint of a child's voice... it makes me think that line was meant to be interpreted differently, like it's less like "dialogue" and more of a hint towards a concept like NightMarione's

      Yes! You're speaking about Chica's Party World, which was a separate location likely created after Henry's disappearance. I wanna say that Afton had full control over all the animatronics. While he may have hated Henry's creations(because he hated Henry and GF for takin Crying Child lol), he could have used Chica's popularity to create a side location called "Chica's Party World" so he could gain more money and have another murder den. It is perfectly plausible that Chica originated within the Melodies and then Afton later uses her design to create his own version of her, like we see he does with the design shown in Ultimate Custom Night. In this theory, Afton hated and loved his rival, so it makes sense that he pays homage to his idol by recreating and using his creation and giving it her own location.

  • @retrogirl_2
    @retrogirl_2 Před rokem +546

    I have a theory about Henry's "X-factor". Maybe his animatronics were so life-like and seemingly magical because he (unintentionally) imbued each one with a small piece of his own soul. Literally putting his heart and soul into his work. Afton was unable to recreate Henry's work because he lacked the passion and soul that Henry had for his craft. In his frustration and jealousy, Afton kills Henry's daughter. But afterwards he recognizes that somehow Charlie's soul has possessed the Puppet. Then everything clicks, he realizes that what was missing was soul (remnant) and begins killing children in an attempt to harvest souls for his animatronics, all in a desperate attempt to match Henry's magic touch.

    • @higueraft571

      It IS backed up by the books, he literally CREATES a soul with his own pure agony, using that Ella doll he poured it all into to create Charlie in the first place... So it's not too unlikely he was simply doing so to a lesser degree with his other creations

    • @monkeyboosness6781
      @monkeyboosness6781 Před rokem +51

      I think it's also big to note that Charlies death is so different from his other murders. He doesn't lure her, he isn't in costume, he's not putting on a show in the way that we know that William Afton typically acts. He just leaves the body, doesn't stuff it into anything either, and he does it right out of his car. Every other victim we know was lured by him in costume.

      That would make sense. Think about it, Henry worked in a garage where his sweat poured into the fur, his blood from working with machinery slipped into the joints, and his passion went into their designs.
      Afton? He saw them as a means to an end. And they were. He used precise machinery and complex parts and computers to build weapons, not pieces and bringers of joy. They were soulless.

    I feel *SO VALIDATED* knowing the ultimate FNAF Theorist was also questioning Afton's motive. During all the chatter of robot kids and who really may be dead, once small part of my brain was always like "We don't even know why William kills Charlie! Who cares about Gregory!"
    It does seem...unlikely to me that that is his entire motive though. We seem him gleefully smile when Foxy runs to the room of kids he just murdered. The ball pit story has William excited to show everyone the kids he killed. He enjoys killing. I think it goes deeper than just jealousy. Why would he build the Funtimes or Baby if all he wanted was to live out a revenge against Henry? I think somewhere along he discovers the power of agony, maybe even seeing Henry's outpour of agony like in the books when Charliebot is created, and aims to create a place filled with agony. But that still doesn't feel like we've reached the end of the story. What was his overall goal in continously killing kids in the franchise buildings? Why does he want his cult? There is exactly one key piece missing, and it's driving me nuts.

    I knew that looking back for lore inspiration from Chuck E Cheese and Showbiz Pizza was viable, but this made it SO much more better.
    Overall, I was still confused with most of the story and such with how things worked, only still remembering that kids were killed, stuffed into suits, and possessed the animatronics, done by a crazy murderous purple guy, but this theory perfected all those motives and reasons and thoughts so well!
    It's somehow literally bringing me back to the days of early FNAF, where we only needed to assume who the motives of animatronics and Purple Guy were. The simplification is astounding!
    Seriously and honestly, thank you Matpat for doing what seemed to be impossible and giving something of a clearer "origin" to this random timeline mess of games. It might be just a theory to everyone, but to me it's a fact. XD

This could mean that The Crying Child died before William murders Henry’s Daughter. He blamed Henry’s designs for his sons death, (couples with jealousy over Henry’s gift of robot creation) and in a spiteful rage killed his daughter for his ultimate revenge, unknowing it was going to send him down a dark spiral…

I know it’s always been weird with how “I was the first, I’ve seen everything” but it always seemed a weird choice having that be chica and not a more central animatronic.

      William's original company was probably Chica's party world and then Henry's was Fredbear's diner. Edit: I forgot the idea was that the melodies were a Henry thing, swap the two around. Killing Charlotte was probably a hot blooded crime like the theory suggests, and then seeing the puppet come to life afterwards became his golden ticket to one-upping Henry. William's would be better because they were literally alive. Hence why the funtimes are made with remnant and have the goal of collecting more.
      This also leads into my thoughts about the new owner of Fazbear Entertainment, and why they built the pizza plex. And in particular why there are so many gosh dang endos there. Whoever is running the company found out about the remnant bringing animatronics to life and how realistic they become. Their goal is to make the best Entertainment on the face of the Earth. Mass producing entertainers who aren't just representations of iconic characters, but ARE the iconic characters. Imagine going to Disneyland and meeting the real Mickey Mouse, or finding actual Luke Skywalker. That is what new Fazbear Entertainment wants. No matter how many children have to die to make it happen.

Also makes Henry calling him ‘old friend’ at the end of Pizzeria Simulator actually kinda sad. Henry thought of them as actual friends but in the end they just ended up hurting each other.

    The Golden Fredbear animatronic from 1983 has the designs used by Henry and is responsible for the death of William Afton's youngest son, the crying child. Even if it was caused by the actions of Afton's son, it is still possible to hold a grudge on someone who designed the thing that killed his son. Unless I'm missing something, this seems like an important additive to the motive category.

Personally, I like the idea of the crying child being the first important death in the series since I like the irony of his fear of the animatronics being mainly unfounded, and then all his fears come to life because he died.

    Consider this, the battery packs was Henry, but afton wanted them to be smaller . so he made them like a disk, something smaller to fit into the animatronic itself. While he was at it he put in a device that would lure children from there family's . I believe that holodisks were around much longer than we realize. Anyway, Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

    to be honest, this makes _some_ sense, especially with the whole "chica was actually a Mediocre Melody" situation, it gives us a reason to why she was so special to begin with, you know, with the whole "I was the first!" thingy majig, perhaps she's talking about how she was the first animatronic created out of the Fazbear Gang. (IF Henry was the one who started the whole "Children's Entertainment" industry.)

    • @tanoomic

      I think this strongly implies that Henry, not William, created the original Fredbear that’s kills the crying child. Not only was William jealous now, but his child had now died because, as he sees it, of Henry’s crappy animatronic design that killed his son.
      William, meanwhile, created Spring Bonnie that didn’t kill his son. Spring Bonnie was so safe that he trusted it to not kill him while inside many many times, and this safety would also explain William’s cockiness and confidence in the FNAF 3 cutscene where he turns into Springtrap. He was laughing at the kids’ souls because he felt extremely confident in his old reliable, safe suit, that he designed, and was shocked when it failed him and turned him into Springtrap.
      And the mediocre melodies coming back in FNAF 6 makes sense, as when Henry was rebuilding a new restraunt that was just a means to an end, he was using HIS old retired animatronics that he had in storage.

    I think this strongly implies that Henry, not William, created the original Fredbear that kills the crying child (notice the wire mouth design of Fredbear, like in the video). Not only was William jealous now, but his child had now died because, as he sees it, of Henry’s crappy animatronic design that killed his son.
    William, meanwhile, created Spring Bonnie that didn’t kill his son. Spring Bonnie was so safe that he trusted it to not kill him while inside many many times, and this safety would also explain William’s cockiness and confidence in the FNAF 3 cutscene where he turns into Springtrap.

    I personally think that the crying child's death that just happened to be a very unfortunate accident would have been a perfect catalyst for William's murder. The death of his first son, the sorrow and anger that followed would have strenghtened the grudge against Henry, driving him to cause the same pain to him that he himself experienced.
