    I imagine that the reason bendy was in the real world with Audrey was because she was still technically fused with him when the cycle reset, so, via the rules of possession/fusion, they are permanently stuck together

    I believe that Bendy is just him with a calmer mindset, possibly due to him feeling like he is in his intended and perfect form. Perhaps, since Audrey is very nice to him when he's a little guy, it subconsciously provide proof to the ink demon that he can be loved and his attitude is to blame for the way his now. So that's why he fights so hard to make Audrey give into the darkness, to be like him. If she does, then his very way of thinking and actions are justified. Because if she becomes a monster, then it would mean they are just evil creatures born from the ink and nothing more, which would grant him a false sense of purpose. An illusion to living, if you will. But she doesn't, and since their now tethered for possibly indefinitely, it means he has a lot of time for retrospection on his own behalf.
    So, basically, his little sister saved him. Setting him free from the bounds of hate.

  • @4Four_Studios
    @4Four_Studios Před měsícem +48

    I like how different Bendy's motivations are in Dark Revival as opposed to Ink Machine.
    In Ink Machine, he was the ruler of the cycle, and was a mistake at creating living cartoon entertainment. He spares Henry on multiple occasions because that was his creator. When he was first created, he was harmless. He watched the workers of the studio, trying to learn more about them. He never wanted to hurt anyone, but because he was so misshapen, he was locked away by Joey Drew because Joey was afraid of losing money. The Ink Demon was the victim of Joey's corporate greed. His mindset in Ink Machine, though he never says it, is to become perfect; to become the Bendy he was supposed to be, because deep down, he IS Bendy; Always wanting the attention and the spotlight, and doing whatever it takes and having as much vanity as necessary to make it happen, Instead of constantly being reminded by Buddy, Joey, and a lot of others about how much of a monster he looks like. He's not a monster in this game; He just looks like one. In the words of Jessica Rabbit, he's not bad, he's just drawn that way.
    In Dark Revival, something different happens. He is taken hostage by Wilson and the Keepers in an effort to torment him and find a way to KILL him. When this fails, he is pressed into a smaller form against his will, but... he's finally perfect now. He looks more like the Lil' Devil Darling himself than EVER before. But, instead of getting the praise and recognition he thought he'd get for being perfect, he is locked away AGAIN. Trapped in a different form, slowly losing the memory of the monster he once was. Until, Audrey shows up. A complete opposite to the Ink Demon. When Baby Bendy touches her hand, the Ink Demon realizes her true origins (Audrey being born from the machine), and finally remembers HIS OWN origins. And finally, breaks himself out of his different form.
    His realizes that his old goal of becoming perfect for all to see and FINALLY being the Bendy that was intended by his creator was in vain, because, thanks to Wilson, that came TRUE, but he was still locked away regardless. He knows now that people will see him as a monster and a mistake no matter WHAT he becomes. And now that he realizes the true monstrous nature that this world pushes him to be, he finally snaps. And, remembering what Wilson, the Keepers, and EVERYONE ELSE DID to him, the Ink Demon is MAD. VERY MAD.
    Also, notice how that The Ink Demon in the first game is a PERFECT blend of Baby Bendy AND the Dark Revival Ink Demon? That's gonna be relevant later.
    No longer set on being perfect (As he realizes that doesn't matter anymore) he sets out on a new goal: To reclaim his domain of the Cycle and OWN the fact that he's a monster. When he breaks out of his toon imprisonment, he becomes the DR Ink Demon, being COMPLETELY void of ANY semblance to the Lil' Devil Darling he tried to be many cycles ago, and sets out to KILL Wilson, Joey, Henry, EVERYONE That ever wronged him or will ever wrong him. And he succeeds in killing Wilson and Joey, but, he was redeemed in the end, but how?An entity, a toon such as the Ink Demon, with a monstrous appearance, persona, and kill count in potential hundreds of thousands. HOW? HOW could HE be redeemed?
    Well, because he chose to.
    When Audrey flashed the End Reel in his face once again, he sees the reel of film that showed his days as a toon once again, as he has seen many times before. But this time, it's different. He looks at the reel with better eyes. He realizes that since Audrey's here and fused WITH him, he could finally go to the real world and escape the dreaded Cycle. He never wanted to be a monster, he was forced into the role by those around him.
    But now there's a choice for him: He could go with Audrey and be the Little Devil Darling in a world that would actually ACCEPT his cartoonish appearance, or he could stay here and continue to be the monster everyone TOLD him he was.
    He had a change of heart. Realizing that he can't change who he really is deep down, He chose the former, and finally got what he deserved: A chance.
    In summary, if you REALLY look at the story the pigment of BATIM/BATDR is trying to tell us, you realize that while Ink Machine Bendy is very one dimensional (You would be too, if the world around you was scripted so that you would always fail), Dark Revival turned him into a complex character with inner turmoils and struggles, and it did this by changing the script and giving him a chance to be what he really wants to be. Great Villain, great character arc.

    His Eyes see all. His Claws tear and thrash. His whispers turn your Mind into dark, unspeakable trash. Listen to the Heartbeat drone. Your doom is close at hand. The Ink Demon is both Beast and Lord. His Powers, too vast for us to understand. Death is fast. Death is near. His reign will last beyond your fear.

    What if the reason Bendy/The Ink Demon has so much power is because he possesses Godly origins? In chapter 1 of the first game, it's said by Wally Franks that Joey is offering stuff up for "The Gods", what if the Ink Demon is some kind of reincarnation or off spring of these gods, and explains his ridiculous power? It sounds kinda ridiculous but at least explains Bendy's ridiculous power lol

    • @mrreyes5004
      @mrreyes5004 Před měsícem +3

      Ngl it would also explain why the Ink Demon eventually learns human language by itself without needing books or teachers. When the Ink Demon was first born, his young mind was basically a lot like an animal running on instinct. But when he grew older and more experienced, he automatically began absorbing information and learning way faster than any human mind. So, the Ink Demon becoming smart enough to talk without education in _Dark Revival_ would also be explained by the Ink Demon literally being divine in some way.

    I like to imagine the ink demon similarly to AM from “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”. His backstory is definitely torturous and he very much was abused. But that doesn’t excuse the things he’s done. Just because he was harassed by his creators, doesn’t mean he’s innocent. He is still very much a monster, just one who was treated as such.
