Ok, for the whole “scraptrap and Springtrap have drastically different designs” thing, sure they do, but Scraptrap is still recognizable as a corps rabbit, Burntrap and the mimic have no similarities and there is no rabbit features on the Mimic while Scraptrap still has rabbit features to connect him to Afton. Honestly the Burntrap and mimic thing is more simpler than people are making it. Burntrap is Afton, The Mimic is The Mimic.
You ever notice in Gregories final dialogue not only is his radio signal stronger the further underground Cassie goes which makes no sense unless she’s getting closer to him, he also says “it’s been down HERE a really long time” when referring to the mimic. If he was not under the pizza plex it wouldn’t make sense for him to phrase it that way. He’d say “it’s been down THERE a really long time.” Both Vanny, Gregory (and Fred head) are all down there.

The mimic is super old, that’s directly stated in game. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be Burntrap. It’s stated in the books that it can morph and fit into any suit it wants, and it actually does this to a suit with a body inside, morphing to fit inside both. It’s also shown to have some weird fixation on wearing suits whenever it can, so I think it’s very possible that the mimic is “wearing” Afton’s corpse, but it’s still just the mimic

some major points: 1 Vanny's mask and the V.A.N.N.I mask are 2 separate masks, ruin confirms this by showing us vanny again during the day-care section where her mask is notably different from ours. second is that the liquid from the charging stations is a kind of acid, more specifically battery acid as confirmed by cassie recognizing it as such. 3rd of all, the water in the cave is not electrically charged, as cassie is able to wade through it without any issues, the flashlight most likely just ran out of power. 4 is that it would be very impactical to power the pizzaplex via electrified water and in mutiple sections we can see the generators that power the pizzaplex, cofnirming that the building is electrically powered and not via water.
That mask is clearly not the same mask that vanny herself wore in the base game the ruin mask is made of hard plastic, has the same colors as the mask in the curse of dread bear dlc, and just covers the face and is just a mask. The vanny mask in the base game is made of carefully stitched fabrics, has white and gray colors instead of white and brown, it covers every inch of the head, and is part of a full costume. So it is clearly not the same mask and help wanted 2 proves that.
What if it’s like the F.N.A.F.3 SpringTrap and F.N.A.F.6’s Afton? They’re meant to be the same, but their design is different. This could apply to Vanny.
The burn trap being weak and the mimic being strong and so their not the same is something I disagree, the mimic copies the things it wants or sees and so he copies the weekend afton and the costume being different is just because the golden bonny suit is only on afton and so the mimic can't use it so it improvised
A few things I felt needed to be pointed out 1. The blob is actually seen very close to the start of the game, not when you’re going down to the pizzeria 2. Scraptrap has two eyes, not one. That doesn’t really change much but still, its even visible in the image you used 3. I really do not understand how you used the, very clearly Burntrap, claw marks as evidence that they’re different. Like, you literally said it’s Burntrap’s claw marks and that they’re the exact same claw marks, and then said that only one was left by Burntrap and the other was left by the mimic. You know, the mimic who only has four fingers on that hand and they are completely different from Burntrap’s fingers… genuinely please give more of an explanation it makes no sense. If you want to explain it with Burntrap and mimic being separate just say Burntrap left that mark before the mimic got there. That’s so simple and I could genuinely believe that, but what you said in the video is just so confusing and convoluted for no reason, it literally wouldn’t add anything to the story of the theory. I just need a better explanation 4. It’s extremely possible, and even perhaps more likely than not, that both ending can be partially canon. First of all, the events don’t have to be exactly the same as shown in game. Second, for Gregory to have accurately drawn Burntrap and the blob he needed to have seen them. Third, Freddy IS in the same place with the same damage as the princess quest ending, but it’s NOT the same Freddy. The Freddy we know doesn’t say “PROTOTYPE” on his foot, and while yes it could be a retcon, that’s way to big and noticeable of a thing for them to have retconned and after the whole “Roxy’s endoskeleton was retconned” thing, I have way more faith in small details like this having a reason and not actually being retcons. So far the only “retcon” that I think we can definitely say is a retcon, was adding a faz wrench port onto daycare attendant, everything else realistically can be explained with current knowegde, or could be setup for a answer in the future. 5. The mimic does look different from Burntrap and could definitely be a different character but it’s been described to know how to repair itself, and be able to morph and fit into any suit including one with a dead body in it, and its description in the books sounds a lot like Burntrap if you removed the suit and body. If the mimic and Burntrap are the same, then the reason it looks different from Burntrap could very easily be explained. Burntrap has a corpse and an endoskeleton already inside of it, if the mimic were to fit itself into the suit the original animatronic parts don’t just go away, that could explain why the parts look slightly different. And in the books it’s shown to have some weird fixation on wearing suits whenever it can for some reason, so that gives it a motivation to “wear” Afton’s corpse. And it’s different hand can be easily explained as well, burntrap’s claw mark is in the collapsed vent in the mimics room, it could have lost that arm when the vent collapsed and it repaired itself thus getting a new, different hand (and if that’s true it means it lost that hand twice because of ruin’s ending which is just really funny, the guy just isn’t allowed to keep his hand for more than 5 minutes) 6. The cave water is a different blue than the charging liquid, and also the idea that the pizza plex is powered by electrically charged water that is harvested from caves is… well it’s harder to believe than agony and remnant. If they are using electrically charged water, why aren’t they just using electricity, and why does it have to be from that cave. Also the battery acid is literally acid, look at the ground it’s on, it’s literally melting away the concrete. I highly doubt that’s water and even if it is, it can’t be the same as the water in the cave because Cassy walks through that without her legs being dissolved, and that water can’t be electrified either because, again, Cassie would not be able to walk through it. I definitely agree that the cave is important, but not because it’s secretly a power source, it’s because it’s red. It’s literally a red lake that you only get to after going down and down and down until you become trapped at the deepest layer, in a game where you go through glitched objects. Sound familiar? It should because that’s literally just old man consequences’ red lake in FNaF world. And with the old man in princess quest being called “omc” in the files, and the princess being “Cassidy” in the files, we’ve already established a connection to the scene from UCN. And, remind me, where does the old man show up in princess quest? Oh yeah, that right, IN A CAVE WITH GLOWING MUSHROOMS. That’s literally insane, and I’m DYING to know what the connection is, and what it even means 7. I actually agree with everything you said about Burntrap’s original purpose. I think because he ended up being a physical antagonist, Scott had to course correct and explain why he was there and that’s why he’s the mimic (if they’re the same character) he was supposed to be a hallucination setting up the mimic, but since he WASNT a hallucination in the final game he had to have an explanation for why he was physically there, but if he was a hallucination he wouldn’t have needed an explanation like that since you would just say, “oh, he’s not actually real.” Him being the mimic is a perfect explanation for both why he was there in security breach, why he’s no longer there in ruin, and why he’s not gonna appear again
I think the answer to Burntrap is just the simplest explenation that we have right now. That´s being that he is William Afton. I mean in Fnaf six we saw everything burning and in fnaf sb we see a burned bunny who looks a lot more like springtrap and scraptrap then the mimic + those voicelines who sound a lot like William I think make it obvious. Look I know that there are the Tales Books but in Tales the Mimic was trapped behind a concreed wall and in ruin we see that he is trapped behind a concreed wall again. Also look at his endo the upper half is clearly ripped from the HW springbonnie design while his legs are glamrock endo legs that didn´t even exist by the time the Mimic was created so in my defenitive answer William is Burntrap brought back to live by glitchtrap and after this earthquacke he tried to find a recharch station to keep himself alive because he doesn´t wan´t to die and when he goes to this cave he maybe ran straight into the Blob .
Becuase the Mimic in TFTP is described as burned. I think Afton used the Mimic as springbonnies endo so that he didnt have to risk being caught. And in The Man In Room (whatever). I think the haunted code was combined with Mimic1 to create Glitchtrap, and that Burntrap was made with the haunted, his body (In Dreadbear you can find Aftons grave) and the mimic as his endoskeleton. I think Afton soul split creating more than one version of him.
Burntrap was simply the Mimic being used as a physical body for Malhare. When he is removed from the system, the Mimic is freed. Vanessa and Gregory go down to lock him up. (The Mimic’s right arm was ripped off and replaced. Most likely due to the vent collapse.)
I very sincerely believe in that original trailer you are hearing glitchtrap at first but the second voiceline is nearly assuredly Monty no? He developed a motivation of his own. And he seemed to know about Vanny's plans and what was going on. That threat is to Vanessa and Vanny (glitchtrap). but he was likely speaking directly to glitchtrap that entire time and only referencing to vanessa as a byproduct.
Different endings have been available since the very first game, by the way. They never started at FNaF 3. You can get your paycheck on night five and be done. Or you can work overtime. Or you can get fired for tampering with the animatronics.
I think that Glitchtrap and Burntrap are William and that his body has been repaired by animatronic parts by Vanny. However when William returns to his body, he finds that Cassidy is still waiting for him. He gets a new body but Cassidy controls the Blob to trap him in the charging Station. Then breaks the machine so he is stuck there forever. Cassidy tried to create an earthquake to bury him for good. He will be forgotten down there.
5:37 it's actually not new. The steel wool employee johnfunaff interviewed said that the tech in that room is much much older than you'd expect, seemingly talking about m.x.e.s
I think you missed a very critical piece of information in the PQ Ending that throws a wrench in your theory. Many people talk about Gregory's backpack as evidence he returned to the Megapizzaplex. But why? Gregory leaves his backpack there. In the PQ Ending it isn't on his back. Freddie's head is in a green duffel bag, not his backpack. The backpack never left, so it is not evidence of Gregory/Vanny's return.
To answer your question @14:35. No, because Vanny destroyed Glitchtrap in the Help Wanted 2 game that takes place after Security Breach but before Ruin. That’s the actual event that got rid of William.
The mimic is just a boring character that’s being glazed the hell out of why does it need to mimic Afton if we can just have the real Afton himself why can’t it be its own character? Why can it just wear random suits? Why does it need to be like William? That’s not good writing that’s just a soulless Retcon which what makes it a boring character
@@dylanhudec979so you want to be lazy and piggy back off of grandpa Afton who already had his ending in fnaf 6? Okay. No need to elaborate, just say you’re too bored to come up with a unique story. The funny thing is that the Mimic, despite having no soul, is both smarter and more violent than any other antagonist by far. It lured people easily, it ambushes them by hiding in costumes, and can transform into any shape. Sorry bro. The Mimic is way more of a character than you think. That’s not a theory. IT’S A FACT. The Mimic isn’t copying Afton at all by RUIN. It does it’s own thing. It has no connection to Afton whatsoever in RUIN. But alright, we get it. You don’t know how to let go 😭
@@nationalpv you love glazing the mimic don’t you I don’t think you know how to write an actual good story or you’re just a straight up Afton hater who doesn’t know anything about Afton character and just hates on him because he want to look cool William is still a villain in the mimic I don’t care about the mimic and what it’s capable of William is still a more mysterious villain because he’s actually scary He’s a pure evil psychopath that would do anything to get his way and plus why do y’all get so hostile if someone doesn’t like the mimic, there are reasons why people dislike it y’all get so mad if y’all precious mama mimic gets shitted on y’all defend it as y’all’s lives depends on it now that’s just sad
Why does nobody believe, the mimic, who exists out of spare parts, could swap parts? Like it's genuinely baffling to me, "he can change his size to fit any costume" Yeah but he doesn't have legs in the books soooo this can't be the mimic? Oh he just got legs from some other scrap robot. Don't you reckon we are swapping freddies parts for others the entire game?...
@@dylanhudec979 Which discredits, what part of my point? Mimic loses his hand in the elevator. Therefore lorewise he cannot get another hand, this is now cannon, one hand mimic forever. If he shows up with another hand, it's not the mimic!

Also william glitchtrap burntrap Cassidy princess golden Freddy possessed princess quest game
you keep repeating yourself in the video and i definetly heard some of this monotone dribble before. I wish you would be more genuine and organized with your videos. This video is just confusing with how it is structured
If I'm being honest, I don't like the idea of William coming back again and again and again, I'm a Burntrap = Mimic believer, I like the idea of Burntrap being the Mimic (Burntrap doesn't seem to canon anymore tho due to Ruin and was retconed to be the Mimic), I liked William as an antagonist, but it's time for someone else to be the new main bad guy in this series
I feel like The Mimic is simply more "William Afton has returned", honestly. Having been exposed to Glitchtrap, The Mimic has at least some of his memories. It is also likely the source of The Mimic's malice. I agree William is overplayed. But The Mimic doesn't solve that any more than Glitchtrap does.
I know a lot of people don’t like Afton coming back, but I don’t think the mimic being Burntrap is any better, and i honestly think it’s worse than it just being Afton. It honestly makes no sense for them To be the same as most of that evidence is a bit of a stretch and is just too convoluted to justify. I’m not going to say your dumb for believing that theory or anything I don’t want to spread negativity, it’s just that I honestly feel there are too many things that contradict BT=M, and honestly I feel there is more to disprove it. The Mimic has potential to be a good character, but it can’t do that if it is being other characters.
@@CheshireCatMysticlf you’ve watched the 2.0 interview, it sorta made sense, why not much about the Mimic being Bruntrap made sense. Scott stated that Burntrap was supposed to be a movie-like prop. Movie props are objects actors, it can be hats, accessories, clothing or even furniture. They’re supposed to look real. He also stated Burntrap was never supposed to move. And be like an Easter Egg. Movie props, are wearable. So it’s not far fetched for the Mimic to have worn it. That was presumably the original plan. But he conveyed it poorly to SW, and they probably thought it was Afton back from the dead. That’s probably why the Burntrap Ending was retconned. To put the story back on track to an extent. The interview cleared up a lot of things. I do agree the Mimic being Burntrap somewhat, undermines the Mimic’s character. That’s why I’m glad, the Bruntrap ending isn’t cannon, so it can still be its own character.
Mimic can change his shape to fit any suit in the books, so potentially he could have changed his shape to fit into a suit containing the fleshy bits of afton 😂
@@dylanhudec979Yeah but it's the case and it's because Scott didn't have proper communication with Steel Wool. Burntrap wasn't supposed to be this important moving major antagonist with a boss battle and ending. He was supposed to be a non-moving side easter egg that would pop up here and there in background areas you would barely notice him at but had to be retconned because of Steel Wool misinterpreting him as Afton coming back.
Fazbear entertainment would use a prototype and just cover the stamp up with some tape or paint It’s likely just steel wool adding in some stuff to make the games make more sense
I agree with you that Burntrap is dead in his charging pod at the time of Ruin, but I also think that he'll be back. I'm not sure what Scott meant by him originally being like a movie prop that only appears in the background of scenes, but I interpret it as a mix between the Green Goblin mask talking to Norman Osborn, and Michael Myers from the new Halloween movies, where he radiated evil to those around him. If he was never meant to move but was meant to be important and still involved in the story, I feel like he'd either be influencing events while still being inanimate, or he'd be a red herring/tool used by the real villain.
Ok, for the whole “scraptrap and Springtrap have drastically different designs” thing, sure they do, but Scraptrap is still recognizable as a corps rabbit, Burntrap and the mimic have no similarities and there is no rabbit features on the Mimic while Sraptrap still has rabbit features to connect him to Afton. Honestly the Burntrap and mimic thing is more simpler than people are making it. Burntrap is Afton, The Mimic is The Mimic.
Yeah, but no. Burntrap is the Mimic being piloted by Malhare and being used a physical form. The reason they have drastically different designs is because the Mimic took different things from around the Pizza Place to repair himself. One of the Mimic’s arm fell off in the vent collapse, so he used another one. That’s the thing that tells you why he is different.
@@wsgimfloof Yeah, but no. I don’t see strong enough evidence for that. And if what you say is true, then where are the Burntrap parts that would be laying around if they fell off? I’m not saying you can’t think that, but I I feel more confident that Occam’s razor applies here. Almost everything we see points to Afton. And even what you said is true, then it is still technically Afton as Malhair/Glitchtrap is ether Aftons digital ghost or is a program mimicking Afton. Plus it’s the Mimic inside of Aftons corps. Really feels like people needlessly over complicated things nowadays, and I know FNAF lore is complicated but I feel that is a bit too much. If the New game somehow shows that Burntrap is the Mimic then I’ll have some egg on my face but I feel like Burntrap is still just Afton and the Mimic is his own thing. Plus I feel Mimic being Burntrap is kind of a disservice to the Mimic as it says it can’t be cool unless it’s another past character.
@@CheshireCatMysticYou can see though that the Mimic has Burntrap's left claw and originally had his right claw with finger bones before replacing it? So I'm confused how they can't be counted as evidence? Especially since the Mimic has Burntrap's idle animation, music screeching sound, surrounded in purple effect, and their endings paralleling each other with the Mimic always in Burntrap's position. Burntrap and the Mimic looking different is literally because Scott didn't tell Steel Wool the story and context of what details and things he told them to add in and so they came up with their own story and context for it all. Scott never intended for Glichtrap/Burntrap to be Afton but Steel Wool misinterpreted him as such and treated him as that, so Scott used Ruin and Help Wanted 2 to get the story back to what he wanted. So Glitchtrap/Burntrap was just Afton coming back again to Steel Wool but never to Scott. Glitchtrap to Scott is supposed to be a agony recreation of Afton fused with a copy of the Mimic's program Mimic1 while Burntrap was supposed to be a apparition of him to Gregory and the Mega Pizzaplex's camera where he would stand in background areas like dark corners and in-between arcade games prompted against the wall, but he had to be retconned into being just the Mimic himself fused with Glitchtrap and a burnt Springtrap cosplay with the lore explaintion on why Mimic looks different is because he can shapeshift and take whatever form to fit in any costume.
I think Burntrap can probably be brought back with the original intention for him, Scott said it himself that Burntrap was supposed to just be a background character.
I love Scott, but man if he had communicated with steel wool better, we would've gotten a better security breach and burntrap being just there sitting in a corner would've been mysterious and eerie.

And it’s different hand can be easily explained as well, burntrap’s claw mark is in the collapsed vent in the mimics room, it could have lost that arm when the vent collapsed and it repaired itself thus getting a new, different hand (and if that’s true it means it lost that hand twice because of ruin’s ending which is just really funny, the guy just isn’t allowed to keep his hand for more than 5 minutes)
6. The cave water is a different blue than the charging liquid, and also the idea that the pizza plex is powered by electrically charged water that is harvested from caves is… well it’s harder to believe than agony and remnant. If they are using electrically charged water, why aren’t they just using electricity, and why does it have to be from that cave. Also the battery acid is literally acid, look at the ground it’s on, it’s literally melting away the concrete. I highly doubt that’s water and even if it is, it can’t be the same as the water in the cave because Cassy walks through that without her legs being dissolved, and that water can’t be electrified either because, again, Cassie would not be able to walk through it. I definitely agree that the cave is important, but not because it’s secretly a power source, it’s because it’s red. It’s literally a red lake that you only get to after going down and down and down until you become trapped at the deepest layer, in a game where you go through glitched objects. Sound familiar? It should because that’s literally just old man consequences’ red lake in FNaF world. And with the old man in princess quest being called “omc” in the files, and the princess being “Cassidy” in the files, we’ve already established a connection to the scene from UCN. And, remind me, where does the old man show up in princess quest? Oh yeah, that right, IN A CAVE WITH GLOWING MUSHROOMS. That’s literally insane, and I’m DYING to know what the connection is, and what it even means
7. I actually agree with everything you said about Burntrap’s original purpose. I think because he ended up being a physical antagonist, Scott had to course correct and explain why he was there and that’s why he’s the mimic (if they’re the same character) he was supposed to be a hallucination setting up the mimic, but since he WASNT a hallucination in the final game he had to have an explanation for why he was physically there, but if he was a hallucination he wouldn’t have needed an explanation like that since you would just say, “oh, he’s not actually real.” Him being the mimic is a perfect explanation for both why he was there in security breach, why he’s no longer there in ruin, and why he’s not gonna appear again
Proof the mimic is boring
I think the answer to Burntrap is just the simplest explenation that we have right now. That´s being that he is William Afton.
I mean in Fnaf six we saw everything burning and in fnaf sb we see a burned bunny who looks a lot more like springtrap and scraptrap then the mimic + those voicelines who sound a lot like William I think make it obvious. Look I know that there are the Tales Books but in Tales the Mimic was trapped behind a concreed wall and in ruin we see that he is trapped behind a concreed wall again. Also look at his endo the upper half is clearly ripped from the HW springbonnie design while his legs are glamrock endo legs that didn´t even exist by the time the Mimic was created so in my defenitive answer William is Burntrap brought back to live by glitchtrap and after this earthquacke he tried to find a recharch station to keep himself alive because he doesn´t wan´t to die and when he goes to this cave he maybe ran straight into the Blob .
@@kevinahm3773or maybe the easiest answer is just, he's the Mimic pretending to be William because ya know, he's "THE MIMIC"
@@kevinahm3773 did u even play the game?
Re: 4. The Prototype is already an enemy established back in FNAF World. There was never any reason to believe that body was our Freddie's.
I know you're focusing on Burntrap but it's neat to see how much the Tangle attacking Burntrap resembles the Scooper attacking the Mimic from Ruin.
Becuase the Mimic in TFTP is described as burned. I think Afton used the Mimic as springbonnies endo so that he didnt have to risk being caught. And in The Man In Room (whatever). I think the haunted code was combined with Mimic1 to create Glitchtrap, and that Burntrap was made with the haunted, his body (In Dreadbear you can find Aftons grave) and the mimic as his endoskeleton. I think Afton soul split creating more than one version of him.
Burntrap was simply the Mimic being used as a physical body for Malhare. When he is removed from the system, the Mimic is freed. Vanessa and Gregory go down to lock him up.
(The Mimic’s right arm was ripped off and replaced. Most likely due to the vent collapse.)
Burntrap and Tangle always existed. You have to remember; in FNaF, all endings are POSSIBLE. They may not be canon, but they COULD HAVE happened.
Did you have potential ur giving out good theories left and right keep this up man you could be the future of Fnaf theories
Thank you so much and this comment really does mean a lot to me, so I’ll make sure to keep all of this in mind!
His purpose could have been to watch from far away while vanny attacks us. Like the Shadowman from Call of Duty Zombies or G-Man from Half-Life.
I very sincerely believe in that original trailer you are hearing glitchtrap at first but the second voiceline is nearly assuredly Monty no? He developed a motivation of his own. And he seemed to know about Vanny's plans and what was going on. That threat is to Vanessa and Vanny (glitchtrap). but he was likely speaking directly to glitchtrap that entire time and only referencing to vanessa as a byproduct.
Monty sounds too different in my opinion, but at this point it doesn’t really matter at all since it’s all scrapped and gone forever
Different endings have been available since the very first game, by the way. They never started at FNaF 3. You can get your paycheck on night five and be done. Or you can work overtime. Or you can get fired for tampering with the animatronics.
About the fnaf 3 ending, some have believed that both are canon. But happiest day happens much later in the timeline.
William glitchtrap burntap knows mrs.afton at the Afton family table
The cave we saw at the end fnaf6 snapshot scraptrap
I think that Glitchtrap and Burntrap are William and that his body has been repaired by animatronic parts by Vanny. However when William returns to his body, he finds that Cassidy is still waiting for him. He gets a new body but Cassidy controls the Blob to trap him in the charging Station. Then breaks the machine so he is stuck there forever. Cassidy tried to create an earthquake to bury him for good. He will be forgotten down there.

5:37 it's actually not new. The steel wool employee johnfunaff interviewed said that the tech in that room is much much older than you'd expect, seemingly talking about m.x.e.s
I honestly really like this theory so if burntrap is in the cave he might make so much energy and could walk normally now so that's awesome
I think you missed a very critical piece of information in the PQ Ending that throws a wrench in your theory. Many people talk about Gregory's backpack as evidence he returned to the Megapizzaplex. But why? Gregory leaves his backpack there. In the PQ Ending it isn't on his back. Freddie's head is in a green duffel bag, not his backpack. The backpack never left, so it is not evidence of Gregory/Vanny's return.
To answer your question @14:35. No, because Vanny destroyed Glitchtrap in the Help Wanted 2 game that takes place after Security Breach but before Ruin. That’s the actual event that got rid of William.
The mimic is just a boring character that’s being glazed the hell out of why does it need to mimic Afton if we can just have the real Afton himself why can’t it be its own character? Why can it just wear random suits? Why does it need to be like William? That’s not good writing that’s just a soulless Retcon which what makes it a boring character
It seems to have stopped mimicking afton, getting afton revived for like the third time is just as stupid especially after the FNAF 6 ending
@@ThisIsAHandle-xz5yo it’s better than some dumb Endo trying to be like him. I rather have him come back, which is a better idea anyways.
@@dylanhudec979so you want to be lazy and piggy back off of grandpa Afton who already had his ending in fnaf 6? Okay. No need to elaborate, just say you’re too bored to come up with a unique story.
The funny thing is that the Mimic, despite having no soul, is both smarter and more violent than any other antagonist by far. It lured people easily, it ambushes them by hiding in costumes, and can transform into any shape.
Sorry bro. The Mimic is way more of a character than you think. That’s not a theory. IT’S A FACT. The Mimic isn’t copying Afton at all by RUIN. It does it’s own thing. It has no connection to Afton whatsoever in RUIN.
But alright, we get it. You don’t know how to let go 😭
@@nationalpv Will is still a better character than the dumb mimic I do not care about how much you love or glaze this dumb Endo
@@nationalpv you love glazing the mimic don’t you I don’t think you know how to write an actual good story or you’re just a straight up Afton hater who doesn’t know anything about Afton character and just hates on him because he want to look cool William is still a villain in the mimic I don’t care about the mimic and what it’s capable of William is still a more mysterious villain because he’s actually scary He’s a pure evil psychopath that would do anything to get his way and plus why do y’all get so hostile if someone doesn’t like the mimic, there are reasons why people dislike it y’all get so mad if y’all precious mama mimic gets shitted on y’all defend it as y’all’s lives depends on it now that’s just sad
To be honest Steel Wool had the better idea for Burrntrap.
11:36 he has two eyes it’s only that render and the shadow that makes it appear that way
Thank you for the correction and I'll make sure to fix it in a future video!
i think this is the earliest ive been to any video
Welcome!
Burntrap can most certainly exist and his ending not be canon. Just means those specific events for his ending didn't occur, canonically.
maybe Burntrap ''died'' in the cave lake just like Afton/Agony died in the lake in the FF Epilogues
Why does nobody believe, the mimic, who exists out of spare parts, could swap parts? Like it's genuinely baffling to me, "he can change his size to fit any costume" Yeah but he doesn't have legs in the books soooo this can't be the mimic? Oh he just got legs from some other scrap robot. Don't you reckon we are swapping freddies parts for others the entire game?...
Book mimic works different from game mimic
@@dylanhudec979 Which discredits, what part of my point? Mimic loses his hand in the elevator. Therefore lorewise he cannot get another hand, this is now cannon, one hand mimic forever. If he shows up with another hand, it's not the mimic!

you keep repeating yourself in the video and i definetly heard some of this monotone dribble before. I wish you would be more genuine and organized with your videos. This video is just confusing with how it is structured
If I'm being honest, I don't like the idea of William coming back again and again and again, I'm a Burntrap = Mimic believer, I like the idea of Burntrap being the Mimic (Burntrap doesn't seem to canon anymore tho due to Ruin and was retconed to be the Mimic), I liked William as an antagonist, but it's time for someone else to be the new main bad guy in this series
Burntrap = mimic is a dumb idea. I rather have William Be burntrap instead of some dumb Endo
Ignore Dylan, he’s a massive Mimic hater. And what’s the focus to be all about Willy.
I feel like The Mimic is simply more "William Afton has returned", honestly. Having been exposed to Glitchtrap, The Mimic has at least some of his memories. It is also likely the source of The Mimic's malice. I agree William is overplayed. But The Mimic doesn't solve that any more than Glitchtrap does.
I know a lot of people don’t like Afton coming back, but I don’t think the mimic being Burntrap is any better, and i honestly think it’s worse than it just being Afton. It honestly makes no sense for them
To be the same as most of that evidence is a bit of a stretch and is just too convoluted to justify. I’m not going to say your dumb for believing that theory or anything I don’t want to spread negativity, it’s just that I honestly feel there are too many things that contradict BT=M, and honestly I feel there is more to disprove it. The Mimic has potential to be a good character, but it can’t do that if it is being other characters.
@@CheshireCatMysticlf you’ve watched the 2.0 interview, it sorta made sense, why not much about the Mimic being Bruntrap made sense. Scott stated that Burntrap was supposed to be a movie-like prop. Movie props are objects actors, it can be hats, accessories, clothing or even furniture. They’re supposed to look real. He also stated Burntrap was never supposed to move. And be like an Easter Egg. Movie props, are wearable. So it’s not far fetched for the Mimic to have worn it. That was presumably the original plan. But he conveyed it poorly to SW, and they probably thought it was Afton back from the dead. That’s probably why the Burntrap Ending was retconned. To put the story back on track to an extent. The interview cleared up a lot of things.
I do agree the Mimic being Burntrap somewhat, undermines the Mimic’s character. That’s why I’m glad, the Bruntrap ending isn’t cannon, so it can still be its own character.
They really turning springtrap/William into a joke 💀
What if the burntrap ending did happen but it was in an altered way?
I think that burntrap and glitchtrap are both William and the mimic is not them
Not to mention that Glitchtrap emerges from a charging station in the canon ending of Help Wanted 2. So Glitchtrap is likely still a threat.
I agree.
you dont have to repeat entire sections of your script like the canonicity of every ending, one time was enough.
Mimic can change his shape to fit any suit in the books, so potentially he could have changed his shape to fit into a suit containing the fleshy bits of afton 😂
That just sounds like poor writing
@@dylanhudec979Yeah but it's the case and it's because Scott didn't have proper communication with Steel Wool.
Burntrap wasn't supposed to be this important moving major antagonist with a boss battle and ending. He was supposed to be a non-moving side easter egg that would pop up here and there in background areas you would barely notice him at but had to be retconned because of Steel Wool misinterpreting him as Afton coming back.
The Princess quest doesnt make sence to be canon because Fredy doesnt have a prototipe stamp on his foot.
Fazbear entertainment would use a prototype and just cover the stamp up with some tape or paint
It’s likely just steel wool adding in some stuff to make the games make more sense
W theory
I worked for burntrap, he's a fraud
I agree with you that Burntrap is dead in his charging pod at the time of Ruin, but I also think that he'll be back. I'm not sure what Scott meant by him originally being like a movie prop that only appears in the background of scenes, but I interpret it as a mix between the Green Goblin mask talking to Norman Osborn, and Michael Myers from the new Halloween movies, where he radiated evil to those around him. If he was never meant to move but was meant to be important and still involved in the story, I feel like he'd either be influencing events while still being inanimate, or he'd be a red herring/tool used by the real villain.
You repeat yourself too much, I recommend scripting videos like this unless your goal is to waste people’s time
I think it might have been multiple videos put together, but I’m not gonna waste my time and go check old videos to confirm that :P
ayyyy back again!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Disagree with any theory involving the literal child Gregory building any type of machine
Ok, for the whole “scraptrap and Springtrap have drastically different designs” thing, sure they do, but Scraptrap is still recognizable as a corps rabbit, Burntrap and the mimic have no similarities and there is no rabbit features on the Mimic while Sraptrap still has rabbit features to connect him to Afton. Honestly the Burntrap and mimic thing is more simpler than people are making it. Burntrap is Afton, The Mimic is The Mimic.
Yeah, but no. Burntrap is the Mimic being piloted by Malhare and being used a physical form. The reason they have drastically different designs is because the Mimic took different things from around the Pizza Place to repair himself. One of the Mimic’s arm fell off in the vent collapse, so he used another one. That’s the thing that tells you why he is different.
@@wsgimfloof Yeah, but no. I don’t see strong enough evidence for that. And if what you say is true, then where are the Burntrap parts that would be laying around if they fell off? I’m not saying you can’t think that, but I I feel more confident that Occam’s razor applies here. Almost everything we see points to Afton. And even what you said is true, then it is still technically Afton as Malhair/Glitchtrap is ether Aftons digital ghost or is a program mimicking Afton. Plus it’s the Mimic inside of Aftons corps. Really feels like people needlessly over complicated things nowadays, and I know FNAF lore is complicated but I feel that is a bit too much. If the New game somehow shows that Burntrap is the Mimic then I’ll have some egg on my face but I feel like Burntrap is still just Afton and the Mimic is his own thing. Plus I feel Mimic being Burntrap is kind of a disservice to the Mimic as it says it can’t be cool unless it’s another past character.
@@CheshireCatMysticYou can see though that the Mimic has Burntrap's left claw and originally had his right claw with finger bones before replacing it? So I'm confused how they can't be counted as evidence? Especially since the Mimic has Burntrap's idle animation, music screeching sound, surrounded in purple effect, and their endings paralleling each other with the Mimic always in Burntrap's position.
Burntrap and the Mimic looking different is literally because Scott didn't tell Steel Wool the story and context of what details and things he told them to add in and so they came up with their own story and context for it all. Scott never intended for Glichtrap/Burntrap to be Afton but Steel Wool misinterpreted him as such and treated him as that, so Scott used Ruin and Help Wanted 2 to get the story back to what he wanted.
So Glitchtrap/Burntrap was just Afton coming back again to Steel Wool but never to Scott. Glitchtrap to Scott is supposed to be a agony recreation of Afton fused with a copy of the Mimic's program Mimic1 while Burntrap was supposed to be a apparition of him to Gregory and the Mega Pizzaplex's camera where he would stand in background areas like dark corners and in-between arcade games prompted against the wall, but he had to be retconned into being just the Mimic himself fused with Glitchtrap and a burnt Springtrap cosplay with the lore explaintion on why Mimic looks different is because he can shapeshift and take whatever form to fit in any costume.
