Another interesting thing about the name Fritz smith is that Fritz is the German diminutive form of Frederick. In another words, Fritz is the German equivalent of Freddy, meaning that if Michael is indeed Fritz Smith, he essentially used his own name and called himself Freddy as an alias, which is honestly a very funny “oh yeah totally not Mike Schmidt” alias. On that note, I’ve also been of the opinion that Schmidt is probably just Mike’s mother’s name - which means technically speaking it’s possible that his last name was never actually needed to be Afton
I really believe that David (C.C) AND Micheal BOTH experiment the FNaF 4 Nightmare nights. Especially with Midnight Motorist and the "punishment" of the runaway, who i believe is David (C.C) being sent in the FNaF 4 bedroom. Also if C.C really answer the question "do you have dreams" by "i'm scared" because of the Nightmare Fedbear draw by Mike, then that'll be a proof that BOTH of them experiment FNaF 4, whoever we play exactly in the game itself (probably Mike)
I fully agree with this whole paragraph, I believe that the events we play in FNAF 4 is CC but I also believe Michael experienced those same events after the Midnight Motorist event.
In the night sections of FNAF 4, you can hear garbled audio. That audio ends up being the first phone call from Ralph (Phone Guy) in FNAF 1. With the 4 Nightmare animatronics moving in extremely similar patterns to the FNAF 1 animatronics, I believe the night segments of 4 are nightmares Michael is having after FNAF 1, based on the experimentation he and his brother suffered as children.
Man when you think about it Oswald is the only protagonist in the FNAF franchise who both doesn’t live with a shitty family and also doesn’t have a shitty father and instead a father who actually loves and cares about him
I really hope that Vanessa gets the spotlight she deserves. She is such a cool and interesting character with interesting backstory who is begging for exploration and a character arc. She has everything she needs in order to be a Steel Wool era Michael, but she has been a non-character continuisly since SB. Ruin and HW2 have done nothing with her and SOTM is a prequel set decades into the past, so no luck there. I'm genuinely speechless at how she's being treated.
I agree, if it were up to me here’s what I would do, Vanessa is our ally who is friendly, helpful and smart, she’s trying to investigate the going ons at Faz-Ent LLC, as for her backstory rather than having a bad father both her parents were great but they disappeared when she was a kid, but she is possesed by the V•A•N•N•I System that has been brought to life by her own agony and now Canny wants to steal Vanessa’s identity, she possesses her with the mask but can only be in control for 1 hour a day, once Gregory plays princess quest rather than destroying vanny he simply just manages to separate her from Vanessa’s mind and body and she’s stuck inside the mask, during HW2 our protagonist finds the VANNI mask and vanny begins manipulating/influencing them into helping her overcome and get rid of glitchtrap and then she just leaves them for dead, during the events of ruin Cassie finds the mask and after the elevator crash Vanny try’s to manipulate/influence Cassie into trying to get revenge on Gregory, Vanessa and Glamrock Freddy.
I wonder if the newest book (the phone guy one) could throw in a debate on whether Mike physically tempers with the animatronics or if their behavior caused the company blame him for their behavior? Cus there are several instances where the animatronics are doing stuff that causes damage to things or themselves and phone guy gets accused and fined for the damages.
I think the way the fnaf 4 nightmares work is the crying child's agony from the nightmare experiments is inside the fredbear plush, and some time after sister location, mike found the security room with the fredbear plush and he took it with him, and the agony caused him to relive crying child's experiences.
Something I always note is that, while Scott loves to adopt fan names (Withered Animatronics, Freddles) he has NEVER officially used Shadow Bonnie, always just RXQ. Meanwhile Shadow Freddy is Shadow Freddy. Also, the former is usually depicted as Purple and the latter usually as Black (albeit both with exceptions). Do we even know they're meant to be related or equivalent at all? RXQ's naming scheme fits with XOR more than anything
Correction on the RXQ name point, the RWQFSFASXC name origin is the reverse of what's stated in the video. That's his object name in FNaF2. I'm not sure what he's called in FNaF3.
I've been mulling about in my head about UCN a heck of a lot lately...and I think the idea that we are actually playing Mike and not William keeps standing out as extremely likely. Hopefully I'll find the time to actually put it down to words. But it happened when watching Candi Bunny's video about UCN recently + listening to lots of old UCN lore content. The largest curiosity for me is how the puppet treats Mike and how "The one you should not have killed" sounds like it could simply be CC talking to Mike as the protagonist of UCN. Because really, that's what most likely started the entire dark spiral of agony and murder.
8:45 in the FNaF 2 files, Shadow Bonnie is literally called RWQFSFASXC (and he has this name in all the franchise's media, except a few times like in the FNaF Special Delivery files)
Other people have pointed that out, and I admit I probably should have done a bit more research into that before finishing the video. Basically I was under the impression that Shadow Bonnie was just named Shadow Bonnie in fnaf 2 but that his name became RWQFSFASXC in fnaf 3. I don’t know what led me to believe this. I think an old fnaf fun facts video or something. Regardless, that is my bad, but to be fair it was just a side note and I didn’t find it to be great evidence regardless
I have a theory so the night guards both got fired for odor and tampering and I bet Micheal Anton smelled because by that point sister location already happened and at the end of sister location he’s body gets taken over and when he spits them out he stinks so that means that the two people who get fired might be Micheal Afton because they both probably smell
Long Story short: What if. For fnaf 1 my theory we don't play as Michael Afton under Coverd as Mike Schmidt. Instead what if we are playing as one of the Bullies of CC let's say it's probably the Bonnie kid. For fnaf 2 it's kinda ovbius becouse of the freddy mask we use it's the kid with the freddy mask Jeremy Fitzgerald. Kid with the Chica mask is Ralph aka phone guy. Thats all for my theory.
I've always found it kind of weird the idea mike would lie about his name, he doesn't have a criminal record, yes he's rotting, but at a certain point of decomposition no one knows it's him anymore, based on motive and everything else, william afton would more likely be the fnaf 1 and 2 protagonist, and even if he isn't, there's still a possibility he's fritz smith.
Well he’s not rotting; Sister location is after fnaf 1. During the events of fnaf 1 and 2, Mike is most likely working for his father, not knowing he’s actually evil, and he’s using a fake name to not be affiliated with him
Vanessa in the movie use also a fake name to hide her identify of Afton's daughter (Vanessa Shelly). We already have an Afton doing it (and Dave Miller). Plus the connection between the name Fritz with Foxy remind that Mike is Foxy bro
I’m pretty in the classic games there’s 3 different protagonists kinda Micheal/Mike is the most recurring protagonist since there’s a law of evidence to back them up in certain games like five nights at Freddy’s 1 (definitely) five nights at Freddy’s 3 Fnaf 4 is debatable and Sister location is basically confirmed and fnaf 6 just makes sense
"Is Gregory a robot" No. and I have a reason. He can see Vanny. Animatronics can't see her when the mask is active. the Cameras in security breach can't even see her. Give it a shot. go hide and turn on the cameras.. They don't see her.
@@ImpulseEvan37 Try it on an older build. She didn't used to be able. You can even see this in Markiplers playthrough. He got stuck in the photobooth and he couldn't see her but the screen was still doing the glitch, and she knew he was in there. she just kept dancing outside of it until he left and died. Inside he was getting red glitchy stuff and she wasn't showing up on the camera outside the photobooth. and based on his history, he got an early build and it was fixed later or it's intended to be that way. I haven't replayed it since ruin maybe i'll give it a re playthrough and see what happens.
@@ImpulseEvan37 Now that I think about it, It might not have even been intentional lol It might have just been a bug. I personally have NEVER run into a Spawned Vanny. just the scripted one. Somehow Mark ran into her on the stage, the second floor during termination of chica and once again on the top floor stuck between Roxy and Monty (during the end game after 6am) Now i'm wondering if this was just a glitch. I'll reply again once i find out if it's that one instance or a glitch markiplier had.

@@echothesilent4693 Dave is literally a short to David. I like more using David tbh and HyperDroid mentioned David to maybe be the full name

It isn’t. At all. lol Because Frights continued and concluded the storyline that began with UCN. It’s William.
If it were up to me I would make the Fnaf AR protagonist important to the story, I would also change the entire fnaf AR game.
