I still like my theory that Roxy replaced Foxy and knows that she replaced a popular character. So that contributes to her characterization as an insecure wreck. Just a head canon but it gives me something to think about while at work
This is kind of supported by them working together in the book more than anything. I think it's likely that the log ride was never even meant for a Foxy addition or a complete rebrand of Foxy. He still has his hook and eyepatch, so knowing Foxy, I don't think it's completely unlikely that he just had a pirate-cowboy adventure at some point. It seems like the perfect way to introduce Roxy as a character from the west (Wait, is this why Glamrock Chica was supposed to sound like a California Girl we're undeniable?) and then let her stand out on her own. I thought maybe Captain Foxy's Pirate Adventure was a movie and Foxy was popular enough to get his own establishment. Chica had her own location before, likely with the Posh Pizzeria series. Regardless, with the reintroduction of the bullies, seemingly for Carnival, I doubt Foxy is going anywhere just like Chica came back after SL and Bonnie came back after 3. I guess SB was just Foxy's turn and Freddy will never not show up because he's in the title.
God it’s so weird to me to think of the animatronics as actual characters, not because of a spirit possessing them that we then just call by the mascot name for shorthand, but because they’re apparently intelligent enough to be their own beings with their own thoughts and desires. It honestly feels like the wrong direction to take the series in. IMO the robots should just be robots, and they only act like characters because of spirit possession. The ai stuff is just dumb.
I had this same thought. Her insecurity would make so much more sense and be that much more tragic. Roxy knows she replaced a popular character as the cooler alternative. Now she has to have the persona at all times. If she doesn't, she may be replaced just like she replaced Foxy.
I really like RyeToast’s theory that while Foxy was never at the Pizzaplex there were plans to bring Foxy in, but those plans ended up not happening because they were unable to finish the log ride.
i think its funny how the foxy craze went down so far despite him genuinely being the most unique in FNaF 1, best design and usually has the best/coolest mechanic
Could just be the nostalgia talking, but I didn’t like how after SL, random things that were important to the OG four animatronics were either changed or removed, whether that be some of them not getting dialogue in UCN or Foxy and Bonnie having hardly much of a presence in SB.
To be fair Bonnie’s been pretty beloved and important for a while. With Springbonnie/springtrap being focal to the lord. Freddy always appears as well. And foxy has been in every game. Chica was the oddball since she was out of sister location. So now it’s Bonnie and foxys turn. I’m sure a new variant of them is gonna appear
I always imagined that foxy still had a significant part in the Fazbear brand as of security breach but just wasn’t an animatronic in the Pizza plex, like how Chica was missing in sister location or how the puppet went unused in most known locations but still was referenced by Fazbear entertainment
Yeah she exists she showed up in Fnaf 6 but she still wasn’t one of the animitronics present in the circus baby brand, I personally also imagine that she had her own location at the time. Also theirs the teasers before sister location that mentioned Chica’s party world, just like how theirs foxy themed track rides they weren’t non existent just not part of the main band
@@azimuddin1890 I think that was just the name for a CBEaR rental listing for Funtime Chica (and possibly others like Music Man if he is a Funtime) to explain their absence and later appearance in FFPS. Something as major as a whole sister location to the Sister Location never being mentioned once outside of a minigame from a previous title that certainly has nothing to do with it and a website source code string of text that only ever mentions it once, of which same source code was used for rental listings seems like a lot to keep hidden for no reason.
I always thought it was something similar to what happened with the pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney world, where before it's modern incarnation as the pirate ride we all know and love, it was cowboy themed, cause Disney thought pirates wouldn't sell well in Florida's already pirate saturated market. needless to say they were wrong and tons of people were upset at the lack of pirates in Disney world.
According to the Ruin collectables, the Log Ride attraction never got finished building. The only reason i think Cassie rode the log ride was cause her dad was a technician, so itd make sense fazbear would use employees kids as test subjects for rides that are still in beta. Im guessing that the cowboy branding didnt go over well from test groups and they dropped it before they got it off the ground and replaced it with the cooler Roxy.
that and the fact the entire ride was built like shit, and the only way to fix it was to tear the whole thing down. better to build over it i guess! cant forget the decapitating foundational beam
Headcanon: Foxy sailed off into the the distance/rode off into the sunset after hearing about the whole Bonnie incident and took as much evidence of him being there as he could with him.
Because of the lack of Foxy and rather obvious replacement-but-not-quite in Roxy, I've had this headcannon for a while that Roxy's insecurities come not just from Fazbear's neglicence with AI, but also from the idea that she might know she's supposed to be a replacement. Maybe she's not entirely sure who she's replaced because of the lack of advertisement, but it gives her some more depth. I can imagine her being nice in front of the crowd, trying to put on the best show and hyping herself up to the detriment of others until she's forced into Safe Mode because there's a tiny voice in the back of her mind whispering that if she doesn't - that if the public doesn't like her enough - she might end up as a small side attraction in the daycare or have her raceway completely torn apart. Maybe that's also why she's so protective of it haha. There's not really a lot of evidence towards this (well, maybe Bonnie being replaced so easily could tip her off, but that could easily not be relevant either), but if it was Bonnie, Freddy, Chica, and Roxy as the main 4 when the Pizzaplex was opened, she could have potentially figured it out. There is a mini museum exhibit about the franchise right in front of the band's greenrooms, so she would have access to the knowledge that the original were Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. So definitely not impossible, but it's all just speculation. It also puts Monty and Roxy in a unique position: they're the only ones aware that they're replacements. Monty is obvious, as he literally replaced Bonnie, but Roxy is also a replacement of Foxy even if there's no Glamrock version of him. Maybe she's even seen the broken logride. We know Chica goes down into the trash, Roxy might have wandered there or fallen in or something. This replacement idea could also explain why Freddy isn't really liked. Chica seems concerned in the intro and DJMM seems to be on good terms with him, but the other animatronics seem indifferent or outright hostile. Monty's hostilities are obvious, but Roxy is more indifferent, with the only notable interaction between them being when he enters her room after repairs. But think of it this way: Freddy has been in every game possible, sometimes with multiple incarnations within the same game, and Chica has theoretically been through every animatronic generation except Springlock (Funtime Chicha exists, just not in SL), so they don't have to think of how they could easily be replaced for another character (even though they should if Mr. Glamrock Hippo is anything to go by), but Monty quite literally all but erased Glamrock Bonnie from existance and Roxy is a pretty obvious Foxy stand-in. It plays nicely with her attitude of having to be the best too, since she's well aware that if she isn't, she might be thrown to the side and burried. I don't know, I just thought it gave some nice character to Monty and Roxy, and maybe offering some insight on why they (mostly Monty) hate Freddy, since, as the mascot, he's unlikely to ever be replaced by a new character (except when he quite literally is, but we'll ignore that). Again, more of a headcannon than anything else, there's very little hard evidence for this, but it doesn't detract anything from the characters imo.
I like how Foxy and Roxy exist as two seperate characters in universe. Its cool to have variant characters that stand out on there own from there inspiration. Though i think its funny that both were designed with specific themes in mind, retro 80s and old time pirate
It's funny to think Foxy has technically NEVER been "erased" by his replacements. The Foxy line is so unique that any attempt to replace him ended up with creating a whole new character. Mangle was originally Toy Foxy (or Funtime according to FNAF World but that was probably the same idea that ended up in the Fourth Closet and is not canon to base games) but in game, she isn't just a variation... He is her own character and got variation on his own. There isn't any "Phantom Toy Bonnie" or "Nightmare Funtime Chica" BUT there is a "Phantom Mangle" and there is a "Nightmare Mangle". All existing ALONGSIDE Phantom Foxy and Nightmare Foxy. In Freddy's in Space 3 (a troll game made by Scott himself), the party consists of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy... And Mangle as her own separate being. Heck, even Funtime Foxy (whotechnically isn't a replacement as he wasn't meant to be at a "Freddy's") is visually more of a Mangle variation than a Foxy one. While the others were either... HIM (like Phantom Foxy that is litterally Withered Foxy) or not meant to be replacements at all (Nightmare Foxy was an illusion/a bot not meant for public and Rockstar Foxy was just a decoy made by Henry to trick William, Elizabeth and the Funtimes). And now we have Roxy that isn't even ADVERTISED as a Foxy. So yeah, Foxy really is the only one that CANNOT be replaced. Spiritual heirs are alright, but there is only ONE Foxy, technically.
I like to imagine foxy is like the old retired Grandpa telling stories in the kids Cove about his glory days and then meanwhile his great-granddaughter Roxanne took his place on the stage to entertain a new generation
You made me imagen a silver-fox (pun unintended) foxy, telling kids storys while roxy looks from a far distance remembering how he did the same for her.
While the whole thing with rebranding Foxy as a cowboy that confused audiences and never cameback after that makes sence, I always had a theory that Glamrock Foxy was more like an actor, obviously because of the roles of a captain pirate and a cowboy, but also, since SB had a theater place, which it had a poster of Foxy next to it, it might have make sence on that
I'd like to suggest that since there's zero Foxy animatronics in the Pizzaplex it's extremely possible that Fazbear Entertainment was in the middle of replacing the outdated Foxy animatronic seen/referenced in the various decor and the log ride with an updated Foxy using the modern Glamrock animatronic's endos and casings which takes time to program and the software correctly as well as design, prototype, fit, test, and the shell for him.
For the ending stuff about the books. Chica being yellow is because that was early in the pizzaplex. She is shown to have a cupcake too. In fact, she is likely the Chica who was in the sewer in the other story. Abe explicitly calls her 'a' Glamrock Chica, implying she's not the original. And he finds her alongside a bunch of other animatronics that got dumped here, its not Gregory's doing. "Whereas the storage level was kept clean and was brightly lit, this floor was little more than an indoor landfill. And it was infested with wandering, wasted animatronics. Abe sucked in his breath when his flashlight’s beam landed on one such animatronic. The pitiful remains of a Glamrock Chica resting against the sewer’s outer wall blinked at Abe and raised a handless arm. The lower part of Chica’s face was a gaping maw." It makes it clear these are all old animatronics who were left to rot here, and calling her 'a' Glamrock Chica makes it clear its not the one currently being used. The 'Moondrop' is just a hallucination of Moon, not the actual animatronic IIRC. Also, the Mimic does not dress in a tiger costume. Tiger Rock existed as a robot head in the storyteller, and also as a form it takes in the virtual world. It wears a bunch of different costumes, including a lion one, it never wears a tiger costume.
Imagine if we had both him and Bonnie in the whole glamrock band. Imagine if him and Bonnie where also allies to Gregory working with Freddy to stop vanny.
I agree that Roxy isn't Foxy, however, I feel that part of her inferiority complex is actually rooted in the fact that she knows she's replacing Foxy and she has to live up to that imposing legacy. Part of what seems to go along with this is after Gregory wrecks the kart into her and takes her eyes, she starts chasing him through what appears to be some sort of furnace room. Said room has a ton of Foxy merch ready to be burned up. Also another reason they likely would have made Roxy is that otherwise Chica was hard-carrying all the aspiring little girls. As it stands, Chica is supposed to be the cook/waitress character, but she's also the exercise gal. That is already too many things pushed onto one gal, so having another female cast member helps lighten the load in that aspect, and on that not, Roxy has clearly achieved that goal since gals and guys alike really like her. I mean ,the number of people who fell for her when they heard her talking to herself in the mirror is notable.
Fun fact : there is a Funtime Foxy plushie hidden in Roxy's Room. So yeah, she's probably aware she's the last one of the brand. Or that's just a meta commentary on her own personality since after SL, Scott joked about Funtime Foxy not having voice-lines by saying "You don't understand, Funtime Foxy is more of an introvert, you know?". And with how he is pridefully-over-the-top in UCN, the idea of the introvert acting as the vain loud one represents Roxy pretty well.
@@ultimate-phenixno like what I mean to say is that on one hand she loves fame and attention like extrovert but them on other hand she can talk herself like a introvert, very much like funtime foxy but I feel she and funtime foxy is ambivert. What do you say?
@@baisakhimukherjee7524 Truth to be told, I don't really know. I used the term "introvert" because that's how Scott referred to Funtime Foxy back in the day (but let's be honest, it was more of a joke and I fully believe he didn't think of a personality for the bot, at the time). In the end, it's very difficult to speak about Funtime Foxy's real personality since his whole role in the Funtime Gang is to be the one who mimics voices and maneurism to distract and/or lure. So, is he REALLY an introvert and is only ACTING like an extrovert ? Or is it the other way around ? We don't know. Roxy on the other hand is way more easy to understand. She isn't about Pride but about Vain Glory. A Prideful person love themself no matter the reality of their character. While a person with Vain Glory needs other to tell them they are incredible because their own self-esteem is actually quite low. I think her character can work no matter if you think of her as an introvert, extrovert or ambivert. It's up to you if you want to see her "rockstar persona" as a disguise to hide her own self-hate (introvert), or as an way to fit in society because she revels in social interactions (extrovert) or a mix of the two (ambivert). But what I find really interesting is that her personality can echo the other two "black sheeps" of the Foxy line, aka Funtime Foxy and Mangle. I already talked in which way she looks like Funtime Foxy, but it's funny to see how much similarity she has with Mangle too. Not only is she her own character (just like Mangle as her own Nightmare and Phantom variations, NEXT TO Foxy's. In Freddy in Space 3, Mangle is even a playable character, next to the OGs), but in FNAF AR, Mangle was presented as somewhat deluded. Always talking about how "pretty" she looks and how everyone is "jealous" of said beauty. However, other lines suggest Mangle is actually aware of her ugliness and is just pretending to cope. She seems really desperate asking why she was "made only to fall apart like this". Also, you can hear Mangle sometimes uses a slighty lower voice, mainly to scare you, but sometimes to respond to what her "lighter voice" just said. And that's maybe me become crazy but I swear, I hear Roxy darkening her voice when she encourages herself (maybe to distanciate herself from the compliment, to make it feel more "authentic", I don't know.)
From what I can tell with there having been no mention of a Glamrock Foxy it shows how Fazbear Entertainment must've tried to experiment with seeing how popular his log ride would've been with an older audience to get a modern look like the other Glamrocks. Since the log ride failed they could've just decided to scrap the concept as a whole with Foxy getting a glamrock design and then realized they needed make a new character like Roxanne to fit with an older audience for the theme that Pizzaplex was going for with Go-Karts being a more popular choice in a party place than a slow log ride. Awesome job on this video NotRealName!
9:09 When you mentioned the theory that Roxy might have been Foxy, I was reminded of a comic I saw a long time ago where Foxy was transgender, and then went through the robot equivalent of a sex change to become Roxy.
(14:36) Off-topic, but this art and the other images of Captain Foxy really makes me wish Foxy sported this outfit in F.N.A.F.1 and variations of Foxy would also have this outfit too. Imagine Withered Captain Foxy, Phantom Captain Foxy, Nightmare Captain Foxy, RockStar Captain Foxy? Would’ve loved that.
That reminds me that over the years foxy has always been the animatronic to give me the LEAST trouble. Rarely ever was killed by him. But when my friends play they get jumped by him. Led to the inside joke that me and foxy are actually best buds.
My theory is that Fazbear Entertainment didn't have a Glamrock redesign for Foxy, in an attempt to keep him as nostalgia-bait... but then of course Corporate wanted a Foxy-esque character in the band, without making confusing branding. Thus, they made Roxy for the band, and then had Foxy separate... and then didn't lean into the nostalgia-bait because "That's too niche!", so they changed the approach to try to please everyone, it failed, and then they muddled the branding with the Captain/Cowboy stuff, angering the nostalgia crowd, leaving only the kids who still liked Foxy. Wildly speculative theory: Steel Wool is saving Glamrock Foxy as a draw for a future FNaF game. Even Wilder Crazy theory: Glamrock Foxy killed Glamrock Bonnie, and is also the Mimic somehow!
I choose to go with the Undeniably Canon Timeline’s explanation, where Foxy was just a gimmick character for Fredbear & Friends to drive up ratings that Afton despised, and every other version of him without the pirate gimmick was an attempt at rebranding.
To me foxy was probably still in an much older model then the other animatronics. I'm only thinking this because his posters look much more like his oldee version.
Honest opinion: im glad that in modern fnaf cast is using different animals instead of the "original 4" because it allows for verity, imo. Now we just a replacment of sorts for chica.
It's also mentioned that Glamrock Chica still has her cupcake in the books. I remember it from "The Storyteller" because she _literally becomes so needy for attention she loses her gluttony._
I think you're spot on with this. A decline in popularity, a hasty re-theme attempted, ultimately replaced by cooler radder Roxy- who is the Fazbear version of Sonic and Shadow the hedgehog. "What if there was a second one of this character who is the same except this one is a different color and more edgy/modern." Also I love when people take apart the books. People don't dunk on the books often enough. They're awful from a writing, entertainment, and lore standpoint all at once and I think it's weird that the fandom doesn't care about how absolutely garbage they are. They're like a 15 year olds rejected scary story, padded out to fill a page count and with 1 random element replaced with faz-something. They're both too slow to excite adult fans and too violent to really be appropriate for children. They are no one and the brand should consider them a disgrace. (Like come on, I could have come up with a better Moon themed scary story in literally two minutes.)
I'd argue that "Toy Foxy" and Funtime Foxy are evidence they'd eventually gender-swap and pallet-swap foxy so there would be two "girls" and two "boys" in the group for marketing purposes. I think Toy Foxy was the "fail", as it did become the mangle from children not respecting it / not liking it. I then think Funtime Foxy was drifting away from the total swap; but also I suspect that William Afton specifically created the Toy Foxy look, because then the Funtimes are all clearly based off of Mangle's look (and the funtime band mirrors the glamrock ratio of two "girls" and two "boys"). I wonder if Mangle's fate also sort of echos a theme the community has long suspected; that Henry's ideas seemed to be more successful and Afton's ideas weren't as popular; the Toy Series were released together, but the children did not treat Toy Fox like the other three and kept dismantling it. This could be taken a few different ways, but I think it shows the target audience wasn't "convinced" or "won over" by the re-design, while accepting the new designs of the other characters. And then, years later, I think Roxy was successful because she has a more distinct design apart from Foxy; she is not a pallet swap and so I think the target audience was more accepting; her design does not remind them of a previous character much in the same way Monty does not remind them of Bonnie (they notice Bonnie is missing, but don't recognize Monty as a replacement/re-design of that character-type). To the adult eye we see the points of comparison, but these mascots are designed for children and so it would make meta-sense that we, the player, could see connections and "clues", but that in-universe children would not.
I seriously want a Fnaf fan game where we are in a Foxy themed location and there are glamrock version of all of the Foxy variants with different names....
I don't think there ever was a Glamrock Foxy. Since Help Wanted 2 shows Captain Foxy I do think that the human employees at the Mega PizzaPlex were halfway through construction of the log flume ride, therefore not even close to being able to brainstorm Glamrock design ideas for Foxy, right before Vanessa was hired... Right before they were most likely killed. Let's be honest, what Cassie finds doesn't look at all like they were taking it apart to build more of Roxy Raceway but moreso being under construction
“So… was there a glamrock foxy? Yes. Yes there was. And her name is Roxanne wolf. Thank you for watching.” = THE THING I NEEDED SOMEONE TO SAY SINCE IVE KNOWN ABOUT ROXY!!!
I have a headcanon that with every location Freddy has different band mates. For example in one location there’s Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica, but instead of Foxy there’s Monty, in another one perhaps Roxy is in Chica or even Bonnie’s place, and maybe there’s even a few locations where Freddy is paired up with some animatronics we’ve never even seen or heard about before. The Pizzaplex that we’re familiar with is just one of those locations that uses Roxy instead of Foxy, and maybe there is a Pizzaplex that does use Foxy, but Monty, Roxy, Bonnie, or Chica are just not apart of that location. Maybe the reason for Kid’s Cove and the canceled log ride is because Foxy was one of Freddy’s more popular friends, or perhaps he was planned to be at the Pizzaplex but Fazbear entertainment thought that 7 animatronics was more than enough money spent, especially since the log ride went nowhere so they just put a statue of Foxy in Kid’s Cove and called it a day.
The Pizzaplex seems large enough for there to be only one, but yeah, I'd see smaller restaurants only having one or two animatronics or mixing characters being a thing
Honestly knowing how the Glamrocks are created it wouldn’t surprise me if Fazbear Entertainment simply took Foxy’s endo replaced his voice changed his personality and then slapped him into the Roxy shell and called it a day
Honestly I personally think Glamrock Foxy did exist at one point, just far enough in the past to where most of his presence was removed by Fazbear entertainment. Bonnie was only retired because of him being destroyed, so it's likely re branding Monty as the base player took up most of the companies time and as a result, left a lot of references to his existence. Foxy on the other hand seems to be a purposeful incident on Fazbears part, likely as a way to bring the company into a modern setting, and from what we can see, it seems like it's been long enough to where Fazbear entertainment has scrubbed most of his presence from the Pizzaplex, replacing it with Roxy. This could also explain why Roxy is so insecure. Sure, Foxy was the odd one out in the group, but he was still MASSIVELY popular, so the weight on her shoulders trying to live up to her predecessor who's been in the franchise since it's creation 50 years ago would take a mental toll on anyone.
Quote by Brightshadow, concept artist for steel wool and lore keeper: "Glamrock foxy was built for kids cove along with a prototype glamrock mangle, who was never finished. Foxy was shut off one day when a kid spilt his sodaroni on him, and he spazzed out. He was never fixed, cuz they had no money, and suck at their jobs, so they just turned the mangle design into roxy instead. Glamrock foxy had a fear of styrofoam. This is all canon. Next post will be about toy Freddy's favorite games."
I think the most frustrating thing about the Glamrock Chica being yellow in that story, is that in the same story, about a paragraph or so later, THEY DESCRIBE HER AS WHITE! Me and my friends were raging about that for like weeks
I personally believed that all four of the original animatronics had glamrock variants, then a series of bad accidents occurred until only Chica and Freddy weee left
I mean, we did get a Mr. Hippo fridge magnet, plus a Glamrock Mr. Hippo and the Mystic Hippo. Who's to say Orville is out of place in a book appearance?
The thing with yellow Chica is that she was seemingly an older version, as that Shattered Chica in the sewers is yellow, implying that Fazbear Entertainment through her out and replaced her with the white version. But overall, I like the video a lot! It's easy to just say "no, there was or wasn't a Glamrock Foxy" and just leave it at that, but I'm happy to see speculation on it instead.
2:45 So... He's literally Swiper? 11:35 *Also,* shooting gallery - Fazerblast kinda takes that role, too? Carnie took it, then Freddy took it because Carnie's a Rockstar and we're doing Glamrock now. 13:50 Also, more girls. It's set in 2035, maybe only one girl is cringe according to test groups.
My boy foxy was just done dirty. I suppose after a main game without a proper chica and bonnie variants it was only fair for there to not be a foxy in a main game. Hopefully he shows back up proper sometime in the future
Idk how popular Foxy is in universe but since he was one of if not the most popular character irl, i like to asuming he had similar popularity in the lore and Fazbear entertainment knew there was no hope in hell they could make him vanish. Like they were confident people would stop asking about Bonnie if they gave Montie the bass and a backstory. But they knew Foxy was to popular for them to just decomition so just gave him his old pirate coat and added some costal theming to the daycare.
I think Steel Wool bringing in new characters is great. As much as I was sad to see foxy and bonny missing, I appreciate the introduction of new characters after however many games of the same ones just in different iterations. What I dont like is how quickly these new ones have already been retired. Monty is surely too far gone to be brought back and Roxy was defeated by the mimic. Two new characters that replaced some classics are now just gone and what are we even left with? Foxy was always my fave but glamrock bonny is basically tied now, which I think is quite ironic.
I feel like if they have a foxy anamatronic, and if it is in the play center but with bonny's murder maybe foxy had a similar issue, ngl And eclipse is sun and moon drop them using moondrop might be stating they are in control
i am convinced that there was an era when foxy was the DCA and sun/moon resided in the daycare theater and later on, when the theater shows shut down, fazbear removes OG foxy since roxy already exists
Plausible. I mean, it makes sense since Mangle (a Foxy variation) was already meant to take care of kids (before becoming a take-apart-and-put-back-together toy, that is) and even the name "Kid's Cove" originates from Mangle's location. So the Foxy line was established as the one taking care of kids, just like the Freddy line is the singer one.
i really love the Cath phases in your titles and thumbnails they are so creative like sun and moon with A dying star or roxys Fixed by being broken I love it also your an hour EARLY
while I don't agree with anything you said about Glamrock foxy not existing, I am glad someone is finally bringing up how important the cartoon versions of these characters are.
This might have been completely unintentional, but I feel like Monty might actually be a better parallel to Foxy than Roxy, despite being two completely different species. When you point a Fazer Blaster or flash the Faz Cam at Monty when he’s decommissioned, he screams in pain and in FNAF 2 Foxy used to be driven away by pointing a flashlight at him. Foxy also spends a lot of time on pirate’s cove similar to how Monty is implied to spend time in Gator Golf, according to duffel bags, and almost occasionally attend performances, like how Foxy occasionally leaves Pirate’s Cove. They’re also both somewhat aquatic-based as Foxy Is a pirate, and Monty is an Alligator. Both also only have pants as clothes in their basic versions and have some type of eyewear. Both also seem to be pretty popular in-universe. Foxy was replaced, and Monty is a replacement. Foxy was also theorized as the “good guy” in the group similar to how Monty is theorized as the “bad guy”. Monty also looses his legs, similar to how Foxy looses his legs at times in UCN. Both also have rides devoted to them. I also think they both also have an “outcast” vibe in the group, like something is different about them in particular that makes them out of place. Both also seem to have a particularly male demographic in-universe, so maybe Monty was made for the fans that were disappointed there was no Glamrock Foxy like, “Yeah, the Foxy fans will love this guy.” Maybe he’s where the Foxy fans went in-universe, which is why he got so popular. I could have made this all up though, idk. (Sorry if this was too lengthy.)
Hottake: Roxy is Foxy, but they thought the same as with Mangle or Funtime Foxy that is mor marketable to make girl fox.. and seeeing many MANY fanarts... i can agree it was a good move..
I like to imagine Foxy was just the captain foxy model/look from Help Wanted 1/2, just a classic Foxy animatronic in this pizzaplex, contrasting the high tech animatronics. Foxy was probably retired when the log flume was taken down. Or maybe not, maybe he’s just in a closet someplace.
A personal headcanon of mine is that there WAS a glamrock foxy being made, but he was scrapped mid-production and they just overwrote his personality chip and reused it for Roxy, BUT some of him is still in there and he is that second voice that speaks to Roxy when she's hyping herself up ("your hair is beautiful, your face is beautiful, everyone adores you, everyone wants to be you. You're the best!" "thank you... I am the best.")
Personally, I think Foxy's personality has been tainted with Michael's grief. It is so deep-rooted that the character cannot be put in one of the self-machine learning endos and despite many attempts, they couldn't put Foxy into one of them. So they made the best next thing could do: Just like Sun and Moon, the put two personalities into one body, Baby and Michael then flipped the switch and got Roxy (just like Cassie did with Eclipse) I've been thinking for a while that the personalities of the animatronics are not random, they're made from the data they've gathered from FNAF 1 to Pizzeria simulator. Which is why Vanessa only threatened G.Freddy back in SB instead of just shutting it down, she knows getting a replacement is no easy task, the nature of the animatronics makes them unpredictable, even if you make a copy of them, wipe their memories, replicate the same learning pattern to teach the endos, it won't guarantee the endos will become docile to their bidding.
I'd like to put forward the idea that Roxy was Foxy in the prototyping stage. However, during the development of the Pizzaplex, they thought, "this needs some more spice," and redesigned him into a new character. I don't have any actual physical evidence, so this is just a headcanon, but it would also make sense of why they look so similar. She literally WAS him at first.
I hate the log ride in help wanted 2. Not the actual game but foxy just sounds depressed like he's only doing voices for the ride so he can at least go home with food.
18:21 There is a theory that it’s the mimic trying to mimic Gregory, based on the details of how similar their designs are Also if anything it should’ve been trying to mimic Vanny since she was the one experimenting with it
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 yeaaaah I like to imagine “what if it switched between different costumes from the books every time you played the scooper ending” And also if you were to play that rout with the VANNI mask on as long as possible then it would be in her old costume from the base game and reuse her voice lines and even the unused ones I say the unused ones too because of the “Vanny chasing Gregory in Chicas Bakery Easter egg” in the daycare theater” (which NEVER happened before) Which implies there was more of a story with her in the base game than what we got, we just can’t experience it
My theory has always been that Foxy was too hard to keep fixing and they might’ve just wanted to keep him off to the side to avoid the trouble. I find it odd that there’s basically nothing on him like glam rock Bonnie has so that just helps feed my delusions! I feel like it’d be pretty cool to see his glam rock version make an appearance, along with his boat ride!!
Glam Foxy isnt in security breach because undead phone guy who is secretly the ceo of fazbear ent saw that the animatronics were being tampered and took his favorite boi out to be his personal animatronic. But hey that just a theory.
Foxy has been one of my favourite animatronics for a while (foxes are one of my favourite animals) so I hope he does make a return sooner rather than later! But that’s just me haha.
I've certainly considered that. Especially since he's also left where Freddy would've been attacked by the Staff Bots in the Disassembled Vanny and Saving Vanny endings.
I will forever think replacing Foxy in-universe with Roxy was a dumb marketing move for fazbear. Foxy is basically the Donald Duck to the mickey, goofy and minnie of the others, He was there near the very start and was always popular. in and out of universe. Roxanne Wolf in universe just seems like a downgrade from Foxy in every single way, a self-absorbed idiot who would say they did cool stuff without actually doing it. like, to put it simply. Roxy would leap off the highest diving board to prove something, and fail. Foxy would just because He could. He's cool without trying
There probably was a Glemrock Foxy...In WARY early concept stages. Maybe they relised the Glemrock theme and the Pirate theme just didnt jell together at all, so they replaced Foxy with a new charakter that was build around this theme from the ground up. Heck thats probably why Cowboy Foxy failed he STILL had the Pirate theme, and while a Cowboy Pirate could be a fun and silly idea they clearly fucked it up and so turned Foxy into the kiddy charakter. As to why there was no Animatronic of him...maybe its a recent change. So his animatronic is still in construction
A continuation of what I will call Pre-Glamrock Pizzaplex: I have a headcanon that revolves around the idea of half-generations and Fazbear being super-cheap. In this, when the Pizzaplex opened, it wasn't Glamrock themed, instead it used what they had lying around and in storage: the AR animatronics, spare parts from the Funtimes, and scraps found in the FNaF6 wreckage. My evidence is the slew of random very not 80's glamrock themed stuff: The Castle/Mr Rogers themed Sun/Moon/Eclipse, El Chip, the Storyteller tree from the books, and Pirate Foxy. I think Pirate Foxy, Bowling Bonnie, and DJ Music Man started out as salvaged or surplus Rockstars. Under this Daycare Attendant is a salvaged or experimental version of Security Puppet. Not the haunted one Vored by Left-E, but a new version of the same concept, like how Puppet existed alongside the Classics/Pre-Withered [the OG posessed ones] but had systems expanded on to make the Toys and possibly Funtimes [the patron tracking feature that is common to all 3]. Possibly built on the Mimic endo found. I also think Glamrock Freddy [and maybe Chica] started out as a salvaged Funtime. Again, not the posessed one that made Ennard/Molten Freddy/Blob/Tangle/ whatever that abomination is called in the next game where it appears as the final boss, but salvaged parts from CBPR or its potential replacement, the AR service. This explains why he has a cavity that can hold kids. Monty Gator could have come from another restaurant or FazService, or might be an original character for the Pizzaplex, maybe with an attempt at a Cajun eatery in the golf course, along with modified Rockstar/Funtime Chica's Bakery, Bonnie Bowl and Pirate Foxy's Cove. Shortly after the opening, corporate did what corporate does and had committee meetings and demanded a unified brand, settling on Prince and KISS as the inspiration, leaving in the stuff that still worked [Monty and Bonnie Bowl], modifying what didn't [Pirate Foxy and Music Man] and eventually promoting the 2 newest characters to the main roster, relegating Bonnie and Foxy to jobber roles [to use a wrestling term].
Okay to address your issues with the books: 1. There are actually hints that an older version of Chica existed (her guitar is in a museum case in Rockstar Row despite her already having it, a Cupcake can be found in both her greenroom, as well as another case in RR. Her neon sign is also yellow, despite other various signage throughout the pizzaplex clearly showing that SW could have chosen WHITE neon to match her actual colouring. The rest of the band's strollers match their general colour-scheme, while chica's is yellow and pink, as opposed to white and pink 2. Completely fair 3. It's mentioned that DJMM has the bouncer mode and that the technician either couldn't or forgot to remove a line or two of the code, so it's likely he WAS in bouncer mode during that scene 4. As mentioned for point 1, it's just another Chica. Yeah, it's weird, but what can ya do? lol 5. Okay so I don't have the actual line on hand rn, but in Help Wanted, during the 'build-a-mangle' section, it says something about "other pizzerias", as well as Frights showing us that multiple pizzerias opened up after fnaf 6. Even if Frights isn't canon, that still provides us some useful info about the game timeline. This means that Kane could've just been referring to a different Pizzeria entirely 6. There is never a white tiger costume present in either RUIN or the tales epilogues. He has the chance to use a PURPLE tiger in epilogue 8, but instead goes for the jester outfit, likely meaning he's not even too attached to the tiger persona. Hope this helped, great video!
I know a lot of people complain about the books but I really appreciate when you theorists look into the whole story fr. Foxy is some kind of a lynch pin, I don't really understand how, but this video and the fact that he changes appearances in every game has to be related to something
I do miss the original four. with the popularity of the new characters, I wonder how they'll continue the core cast after the Security Breach arc is over.
The way I see it I don't think there was a Glam Rock foxy because there wasn't need for one I imagined foxy would have been more like Sun and Moon. A type of animatronic that is made to be their own individual thing away from the core members of the glam rock band. Why sun had they're designed themed around the daycare. I imagine a foxy animatronic was likely to have their own area themed around them by either having a place like the kids cove for pirate foxy. Or the wild west theme ride for cowboy foxy.
I think it might be possible that Foxy's role (if he was supposed to have one) in the Pizzaplex is that he might have been supposed to be an actor, similar to the Staffbots that act and play roles in the theater, shown in the HW2 staffbot makeup minigame. With the hints of him originally being meant for the daycare, it would make sense that he also was supposed to preform in the Fazbear Theater in the daycare. Maybe Cowboy Foxy was one of his roles he played, along side pirate Foxy and potentially other genres. It would make sense with there being posters and cutouts for a "Pirate Foxy's Adventure" movie/performance all over the Pizzaplex. That could be one of his roles he plays in the theater.
I feel like to keep Foxy in theme with what Fazbear's had become while still having him in his pirate theme he's famous for is to have him be like a galactic pirate or something (think like what Jonathan Young did with his music videos for "Glory or Gold" and "Man the Cannons" for an idea of what I mean), keeping him in his pirate themed roots while still fitting in with the new high-tech and "hip with the kids" branding
The fact they used porates of careibean specifically as an inspiration for the posters always stuck out to me. It seems like an obvious choice for a pirate themed character, but in this case it seems to be more. The movies were made specificslly to pormote a disneyland ride and see it it sells. Becouse of that i like to think they wanted to test the waters and see if a glamrock foxy could sail. To us, viewers, it seems obvious there should be one, he was always a fan favourite, but in universe he was always the faulty one. The og was broken and out of oder, mangle was a mess. The foxes propably didn't have a great reputation eith the parents who took their kids to these restaurants, so it makes sense that fazbear ent. Didn't add a Foxy right from the start
Freddy's tie and hat are black in the cartoon; like in the "vintage" or "retro" poster... Hmmm... Does that place the date of the cartoon and the "freddy era" of FNAF4?
It's plausible that foxy and Roxanne are related in a adoptive sense where foxy was indeed replaced by Roxanne but the fazlore is that foxy raised Roxanne whom became a member of the glamrocks similarly to goofy and max from the goofy lore of the greater Disney mythos.
Foxy didn’t get replaced or destroyed. He simply retired from Fazbear Entertainment to pursue his lifelong passion, his calling to life…
Stonemasonry.
What
Wow, that’s so cool.
@@B_2_weak_sauce
Build or craft things with like bricks and stuff.
Maybe he wanted to go back to being a pirate
@venomfan2020 why do I see you everywhere
I still like my theory that Roxy replaced Foxy and knows that she replaced a popular character. So that contributes to her characterization as an insecure wreck. Just a head canon but it gives me something to think about while at work
This is kind of supported by them working together in the book more than anything. I think it's likely that the log ride was never even meant for a Foxy addition or a complete rebrand of Foxy. He still has his hook and eyepatch, so knowing Foxy, I don't think it's completely unlikely that he just had a pirate-cowboy adventure at some point. It seems like the perfect way to introduce Roxy as a character from the west (Wait, is this why Glamrock Chica was supposed to sound like a California Girl we're undeniable?) and then let her stand out on her own. I thought maybe Captain Foxy's Pirate Adventure was a movie and Foxy was popular enough to get his own establishment. Chica had her own location before, likely with the Posh Pizzeria series. Regardless, with the reintroduction of the bullies, seemingly for Carnival, I doubt Foxy is going anywhere just like Chica came back after SL and Bonnie came back after 3. I guess SB was just Foxy's turn and Freddy will never not show up because he's in the title.
God it’s so weird to me to think of the animatronics as actual characters, not because of a spirit possessing them that we then just call by the mascot name for shorthand, but because they’re apparently intelligent enough to be their own beings with their own thoughts and desires. It honestly feels like the wrong direction to take the series in. IMO the robots should just be robots, and they only act like characters because of spirit possession. The ai stuff is just dumb.
Good she does not deserve his spot her own spot sure but sorry she does not deserve to replace him she is not special.
@@tylernickson8287 This new way of engaging with FNaF scares me
I had this same thought. Her insecurity would make so much more sense and be that much more tragic. Roxy knows she replaced a popular character as the cooler alternative. Now she has to have the persona at all times. If she doesn't, she may be replaced just like she replaced Foxy.
I really like RyeToast’s theory that while Foxy was never at the Pizzaplex there were plans to bring Foxy in, but those plans ended up not happening because they were unable to finish the log ride.
i think its funny how the foxy craze went down so far despite him genuinely being the most unique in FNaF 1, best design and usually has the best/coolest mechanic
Rockstar foxy was always my favourite
Og Foxy IS still in my top 3 with Roxy and ballora
Bonnie and Foxy are neck to neck in polls on twitter fr
Dude is never in the spotlight but always has one of the best designs and mechanics
It’s because of William Afton and Baby.
Could just be the nostalgia talking, but I didn’t like how after SL, random things that were important to the OG four animatronics were either changed or removed, whether that be some of them not getting dialogue in UCN or Foxy and Bonnie having hardly much of a presence in SB.
Chica sure wasn't in SL, so it's not a new phenomenon
Chica wasn’t in SL and Bonnie wasn’t in FNAF 3. So some of these dudes being missing isn’t new.
To be fair Bonnie’s been pretty beloved and important for a while. With Springbonnie/springtrap being focal to the lord. Freddy always appears as well. And foxy has been in every game. Chica was the oddball since she was out of sister location. So now it’s Bonnie and foxys turn. I’m sure a new variant of them is gonna appear
@Sonicmid*Roundhouse kick* CAN IT NERD!!! XD
@@frenchfries2998Focal to the LORDDDD
Sheriff Foxy was just Foxy having a midlife crisis, huh?
I always imagined that foxy still had a significant part in the Fazbear brand as of security breach but just wasn’t an animatronic in the Pizza plex, like how Chica was missing in sister location or how the puppet went unused in most known locations but still was referenced by Fazbear entertainment
During F.N.A.F.5, I think she has her own sister location of Freddy’s and Circus Baby’s World called Chica’s Party World.
Yeah she exists she showed up in Fnaf 6 but she still wasn’t one of the animitronics present in the circus baby brand, I personally also imagine that she had her own location at the time. Also theirs the teasers before sister location that mentioned Chica’s party world, just like how theirs foxy themed track rides they weren’t non existent just not part of the main band
@@azimuddin1890 I think that was just the name for a CBEaR rental listing for Funtime Chica (and possibly others like Music Man if he is a Funtime) to explain their absence and later appearance in FFPS. Something as major as a whole sister location to the Sister Location never being mentioned once outside of a minigame from a previous title that certainly has nothing to do with it and a website source code string of text that only ever mentions it once, of which same source code was used for rental listings seems like a lot to keep hidden for no reason.
@ALiteralRottenHusk i mean there could be other animatronics with her, lile whoever molten freddy mask is from
I always thought it was something similar to what happened with the pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney world, where before it's modern incarnation as the pirate ride we all know and love, it was cowboy themed, cause Disney thought pirates wouldn't sell well in Florida's already pirate saturated market. needless to say they were wrong and tons of people were upset at the lack of pirates in Disney world.
That actually makes sense
Now that I think about it that also strangely makes alot of the out of place western stuff with foxy make more sense.
According to the Ruin collectables, the Log Ride attraction never got finished building. The only reason i think Cassie rode the log ride was cause her dad was a technician, so itd make sense fazbear would use employees kids as test subjects for rides that are still in beta. Im guessing that the cowboy branding didnt go over well from test groups and they dropped it before they got it off the ground and replaced it with the cooler Roxy.
that and the fact the entire ride was built like shit, and the only way to fix it was to tear the whole thing down. better to build over it i guess! cant forget the decapitating foundational beam
Headcanon: Foxy sailed off into the the distance/rode off into the sunset after hearing about the whole Bonnie incident and took as much evidence of him being there as he could with him.
"Oh shit! They be coming for me to, I ain't paying me taxes and ye can't make me, so long and thanks for all the glitches" Foxy probably
Because of the lack of Foxy and rather obvious replacement-but-not-quite in Roxy, I've had this headcannon for a while that Roxy's insecurities come not just from Fazbear's neglicence with AI, but also from the idea that she might know she's supposed to be a replacement. Maybe she's not entirely sure who she's replaced because of the lack of advertisement, but it gives her some more depth. I can imagine her being nice in front of the crowd, trying to put on the best show and hyping herself up to the detriment of others until she's forced into Safe Mode because there's a tiny voice in the back of her mind whispering that if she doesn't - that if the public doesn't like her enough - she might end up as a small side attraction in the daycare or have her raceway completely torn apart. Maybe that's also why she's so protective of it haha.
There's not really a lot of evidence towards this (well, maybe Bonnie being replaced so easily could tip her off, but that could easily not be relevant either), but if it was Bonnie, Freddy, Chica, and Roxy as the main 4 when the Pizzaplex was opened, she could have potentially figured it out. There is a mini museum exhibit about the franchise right in front of the band's greenrooms, so she would have access to the knowledge that the original were Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. So definitely not impossible, but it's all just speculation.
It also puts Monty and Roxy in a unique position: they're the only ones aware that they're replacements. Monty is obvious, as he literally replaced Bonnie, but Roxy is also a replacement of Foxy even if there's no Glamrock version of him. Maybe she's even seen the broken logride. We know Chica goes down into the trash, Roxy might have wandered there or fallen in or something. This replacement idea could also explain why Freddy isn't really liked. Chica seems concerned in the intro and DJMM seems to be on good terms with him, but the other animatronics seem indifferent or outright hostile. Monty's hostilities are obvious, but Roxy is more indifferent, with the only notable interaction between them being when he enters her room after repairs.
But think of it this way: Freddy has been in every game possible, sometimes with multiple incarnations within the same game, and Chica has theoretically been through every animatronic generation except Springlock (Funtime Chicha exists, just not in SL), so they don't have to think of how they could easily be replaced for another character (even though they should if Mr. Glamrock Hippo is anything to go by), but Monty quite literally all but erased Glamrock Bonnie from existance and Roxy is a pretty obvious Foxy stand-in. It plays nicely with her attitude of having to be the best too, since she's well aware that if she isn't, she might be thrown to the side and burried.
I don't know, I just thought it gave some nice character to Monty and Roxy, and maybe offering some insight on why they (mostly Monty) hate Freddy, since, as the mascot, he's unlikely to ever be replaced by a new character (except when he quite literally is, but we'll ignore that). Again, more of a headcannon than anything else, there's very little hard evidence for this, but it doesn't detract anything from the characters imo.
That was a long comment
i aint reading all dat
@@moonwithextracheesesame
I like how Foxy and Roxy exist as two seperate characters in universe. Its cool to have variant characters that stand out on there own from there inspiration. Though i think its funny that both were designed with specific themes in mind, retro 80s and old time pirate
It's funny to think Foxy has technically NEVER been "erased" by his replacements. The Foxy line is so unique that any attempt to replace him ended up with creating a whole new character.
Mangle was originally Toy Foxy (or Funtime according to FNAF World but that was probably the same idea that ended up in the Fourth Closet and is not canon to base games) but in game, she isn't just a variation... He is her own character and got variation on his own. There isn't any "Phantom Toy Bonnie" or "Nightmare Funtime Chica" BUT there is a "Phantom Mangle" and there is a "Nightmare Mangle". All existing ALONGSIDE Phantom Foxy and Nightmare Foxy.
In Freddy's in Space 3 (a troll game made by Scott himself), the party consists of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy... And Mangle as her own separate being. Heck, even Funtime Foxy (whotechnically isn't a replacement as he wasn't meant to be at a "Freddy's") is visually more of a Mangle variation than a Foxy one.
While the others were either... HIM (like Phantom Foxy that is litterally Withered Foxy) or not meant to be replacements at all (Nightmare Foxy was an illusion/a bot not meant for public and Rockstar Foxy was just a decoy made by Henry to trick William, Elizabeth and the Funtimes).
And now we have Roxy that isn't even ADVERTISED as a Foxy.
So yeah, Foxy really is the only one that CANNOT be replaced. Spiritual heirs are alright, but there is only ONE Foxy, technically.
I like to imagine foxy is like the old retired Grandpa telling stories in the kids Cove about his glory days and then meanwhile his great-granddaughter Roxanne took his place on the stage to entertain a new generation
You made me imagen a silver-fox (pun unintended) foxy, telling kids storys while roxy looks from a far distance remembering how he did the same for her.
This is such a cute headcanon 😊
I don't think Foxy was ever gonna be a Glam BUT I do think a Captain Foxy was being at least made since he had his own section in the Pizzaplex
While the whole thing with rebranding Foxy as a cowboy that confused audiences and never cameback after that makes sence, I always had a theory that Glamrock Foxy was more like an actor, obviously because of the roles of a captain pirate and a cowboy, but also, since SB had a theater place, which it had a poster of Foxy next to it, it might have make sence on that
*"Was there a Glamrock Foxy?*
*No."*
10/10 video, got straight to the point.
I'd like to suggest that since there's zero Foxy animatronics in the Pizzaplex it's extremely possible that Fazbear Entertainment was in the middle of replacing the outdated Foxy animatronic seen/referenced in the various decor and the log ride with an updated Foxy using the modern Glamrock animatronic's endos and casings which takes time to program and the software correctly as well as design, prototype, fit, test, and the shell for him.
For the ending stuff about the books.
Chica being yellow is because that was early in the pizzaplex. She is shown to have a cupcake too. In fact, she is likely the Chica who was in the sewer in the other story. Abe explicitly calls her 'a' Glamrock Chica, implying she's not the original. And he finds her alongside a bunch of other animatronics that got dumped here, its not Gregory's doing.
"Whereas the storage level was kept clean and was brightly lit, this floor was little more than an indoor landfill. And it was infested with wandering, wasted animatronics. Abe sucked in his breath when his flashlight’s beam landed on one such animatronic. The pitiful remains of a Glamrock Chica resting against the sewer’s outer wall blinked at Abe and raised a handless arm. The lower part of Chica’s face was a gaping maw."
It makes it clear these are all old animatronics who were left to rot here, and calling her 'a' Glamrock Chica makes it clear its not the one currently being used.
The 'Moondrop' is just a hallucination of Moon, not the actual animatronic IIRC.
Also, the Mimic does not dress in a tiger costume. Tiger Rock existed as a robot head in the storyteller, and also as a form it takes in the virtual world. It wears a bunch of different costumes, including a lion one, it never wears a tiger costume.
Imagine if we had both him and Bonnie in the whole glamrock band. Imagine if him and Bonnie where also allies to Gregory working with Freddy to stop vanny.
I agree that Roxy isn't Foxy, however, I feel that part of her inferiority complex is actually rooted in the fact that she knows she's replacing Foxy and she has to live up to that imposing legacy. Part of what seems to go along with this is after Gregory wrecks the kart into her and takes her eyes, she starts chasing him through what appears to be some sort of furnace room. Said room has a ton of Foxy merch ready to be burned up.
Also another reason they likely would have made Roxy is that otherwise Chica was hard-carrying all the aspiring little girls. As it stands, Chica is supposed to be the cook/waitress character, but she's also the exercise gal. That is already too many things pushed onto one gal, so having another female cast member helps lighten the load in that aspect, and on that not, Roxy has clearly achieved that goal since gals and guys alike really like her.
I mean ,the number of people who fell for her when they heard her talking to herself in the mirror is notable.
Fun fact : there is a Funtime Foxy plushie hidden in Roxy's Room. So yeah, she's probably aware she's the last one of the brand.
Or that's just a meta commentary on her own personality since after SL, Scott joked about Funtime Foxy not having voice-lines by saying "You don't understand, Funtime Foxy is more of an introvert, you know?". And with how he is pridefully-over-the-top in UCN, the idea of the introvert acting as the vain loud one represents Roxy pretty well.
@@ultimate-phenixinteresting theory but I am sure roxy is Rockstar introvert the way she can talk to herself
@@baisakhimukherjee7524 I am not familiar with the concept of "Rockstar Introvert". Can you explain ?
@@ultimate-phenixno like what I mean to say is that on one hand she loves fame and attention like extrovert but them on other hand she can talk herself like a introvert, very much like funtime foxy but I feel she and funtime foxy is ambivert. What do you say?
@@baisakhimukherjee7524 Truth to be told, I don't really know. I used the term "introvert" because that's how Scott referred to Funtime Foxy back in the day (but let's be honest, it was more of a joke and I fully believe he didn't think of a personality for the bot, at the time).
In the end, it's very difficult to speak about Funtime Foxy's real personality since his whole role in the Funtime Gang is to be the one who mimics voices and maneurism to distract and/or lure. So, is he REALLY an introvert and is only ACTING like an extrovert ? Or is it the other way around ? We don't know.
Roxy on the other hand is way more easy to understand. She isn't about Pride but about Vain Glory. A Prideful person love themself no matter the reality of their character. While a person with Vain Glory needs other to tell them they are incredible because their own self-esteem is actually quite low.
I think her character can work no matter if you think of her as an introvert, extrovert or ambivert.
It's up to you if you want to see her "rockstar persona" as a disguise to hide her own self-hate (introvert), or as an way to fit in society because she revels in social interactions (extrovert) or a mix of the two (ambivert).
But what I find really interesting is that her personality can echo the other two "black sheeps" of the Foxy line, aka Funtime Foxy and Mangle.
I already talked in which way she looks like Funtime Foxy, but it's funny to see how much similarity she has with Mangle too.
Not only is she her own character (just like Mangle as her own Nightmare and Phantom variations, NEXT TO Foxy's. In Freddy in Space 3, Mangle is even a playable character, next to the OGs), but in FNAF AR, Mangle was presented as somewhat deluded. Always talking about how "pretty" she looks and how everyone is "jealous" of said beauty.
However, other lines suggest Mangle is actually aware of her ugliness and is just pretending to cope. She seems really desperate asking why she was "made only to fall apart like this".
Also, you can hear Mangle sometimes uses a slighty lower voice, mainly to scare you, but sometimes to respond to what her "lighter voice" just said. And that's maybe me become crazy but I swear, I hear Roxy darkening her voice when she encourages herself (maybe to distanciate herself from the compliment, to make it feel more "authentic", I don't know.)
From what I can tell with there having been no mention of a Glamrock Foxy it shows how Fazbear Entertainment must've tried to experiment with seeing how popular his log ride would've been with an older audience to get a modern look like the other Glamrocks. Since the log ride failed they could've just decided to scrap the concept as a whole with Foxy getting a glamrock design and then realized they needed make a new character like Roxanne to fit with an older audience for the theme that Pizzaplex was going for with Go-Karts being a more popular choice in a party place than a slow log ride. Awesome job on this video NotRealName!
9:09 When you mentioned the theory that Roxy might have been Foxy, I was reminded of a comic I saw a long time ago where Foxy was transgender, and then went through the robot equivalent of a sex change to become Roxy.
(14:36) Off-topic, but this art and the other images of Captain Foxy really makes me wish Foxy sported this outfit in F.N.A.F.1 and variations of Foxy would also have this outfit too. Imagine Withered Captain Foxy, Phantom Captain Foxy, Nightmare Captain Foxy, RockStar Captain Foxy? Would’ve loved that.
would NM!Captain Foxy be more like a POTC davy jones? Maybe Phantom Captain Foxy might even have the little ghost wisp tail thing?
@@itsumikoroko
Maybe but it sounds cool
2021/2023 Captain/cowboy foxy?
2019 Freddy in space 2 Roxanne wolf and foxy?
I think that both Pirate and Cowboy Foxy have a place to exist alongside Roxy. I think the theming for all three Foxy variants are adorable.
Maybe Roxy could have been a sidekick, or protégée to Foxy who stepped up to bat when Foxy stepped down!
That reminds me that over the years foxy has always been the animatronic to give me the LEAST trouble. Rarely ever was killed by him. But when my friends play they get jumped by him.
Led to the inside joke that me and foxy are actually best buds.
My theory is that Fazbear Entertainment didn't have a Glamrock redesign for Foxy, in an attempt to keep him as nostalgia-bait... but then of course Corporate wanted a Foxy-esque character in the band, without making confusing branding.
Thus, they made Roxy for the band, and then had Foxy separate... and then didn't lean into the nostalgia-bait because "That's too niche!", so they changed the approach to try to please everyone, it failed, and then they muddled the branding with the Captain/Cowboy stuff, angering the nostalgia crowd, leaving only the kids who still liked Foxy.
Wildly speculative theory: Steel Wool is saving Glamrock Foxy as a draw for a future FNaF game.
Even Wilder Crazy theory: Glamrock Foxy killed Glamrock Bonnie, and is also the Mimic somehow!
"And is also the mimic somehow" made me laugh really hard when I read it
I choose to go with the Undeniably Canon Timeline’s explanation, where Foxy was just a gimmick character for Fredbear & Friends to drive up ratings that Afton despised, and every other version of him without the pirate gimmick was an attempt at rebranding.
To me foxy was probably still in an much older model then the other animatronics. I'm only thinking this because his posters look much more like his oldee version.
Honest opinion: im glad that in modern fnaf cast is using different animals instead of the "original 4" because it allows for verity, imo. Now we just a replacment of sorts for chica.
Darla the Duck XD
It's also mentioned that Glamrock Chica still has her cupcake in the books. I remember it from "The Storyteller" because she _literally becomes so needy for attention she loses her gluttony._
I think you're spot on with this. A decline in popularity, a hasty re-theme attempted, ultimately replaced by cooler radder Roxy- who is the Fazbear version of Sonic and Shadow the hedgehog. "What if there was a second one of this character who is the same except this one is a different color and more edgy/modern."
Also I love when people take apart the books. People don't dunk on the books often enough. They're awful from a writing, entertainment, and lore standpoint all at once and I think it's weird that the fandom doesn't care about how absolutely garbage they are. They're like a 15 year olds rejected scary story, padded out to fill a page count and with 1 random element replaced with faz-something. They're both too slow to excite adult fans and too violent to really be appropriate for children. They are no one and the brand should consider them a disgrace. (Like come on, I could have come up with a better Moon themed scary story in literally two minutes.)
“I think it’s weird that the fandom doesn’t care about how absolutely garbage they are”
Oh, the Reddit community begs to differ lol
I'd argue that "Toy Foxy" and Funtime Foxy are evidence they'd eventually gender-swap and pallet-swap foxy so there would be two "girls" and two "boys" in the group for marketing purposes. I think Toy Foxy was the "fail", as it did become the mangle from children not respecting it / not liking it. I then think Funtime Foxy was drifting away from the total swap; but also I suspect that William Afton specifically created the Toy Foxy look, because then the Funtimes are all clearly based off of Mangle's look (and the funtime band mirrors the glamrock ratio of two "girls" and two "boys"). I wonder if Mangle's fate also sort of echos a theme the community has long suspected; that Henry's ideas seemed to be more successful and Afton's ideas weren't as popular; the Toy Series were released together, but the children did not treat Toy Fox like the other three and kept dismantling it. This could be taken a few different ways, but I think it shows the target audience wasn't "convinced" or "won over" by the re-design, while accepting the new designs of the other characters.
And then, years later, I think Roxy was successful because she has a more distinct design apart from Foxy; she is not a pallet swap and so I think the target audience was more accepting; her design does not remind them of a previous character much in the same way Monty does not remind them of Bonnie (they notice Bonnie is missing, but don't recognize Monty as a replacement/re-design of that character-type). To the adult eye we see the points of comparison, but these mascots are designed for children and so it would make meta-sense that we, the player, could see connections and "clues", but that in-universe children would not.
Ok but neither mangle nor funtime foxy are girls
I seriously want a Fnaf fan game where we are in a Foxy themed location and there are glamrock version of all of the Foxy variants with different names....
I don't think there ever was a Glamrock Foxy. Since Help Wanted 2 shows Captain Foxy I do think that the human employees at the Mega PizzaPlex were halfway through construction of the log flume ride, therefore not even close to being able to brainstorm Glamrock design ideas for Foxy, right before Vanessa was hired... Right before they were most likely killed. Let's be honest, what Cassie finds doesn't look at all like they were taking it apart to build more of Roxy Raceway but moreso being under construction
According to Cassie, the log ride wasn't finished due to safety concerns.
6:36: Ahh, yee, I see a lack of Bonnie on the stage. Just only a little bit of Bonnie, but not much.
“So… was there a glamrock foxy? Yes. Yes there was. And her name is Roxanne wolf. Thank you for watching.” = THE THING I NEEDED SOMEONE TO SAY SINCE IVE KNOWN ABOUT ROXY!!!
No Glamrock foxy?
2021/2023 Captain/cowboy foxy?
2019 Freddy in space 2 Roxanne wolf and foxy?
I have a headcanon that with every location Freddy has different band mates. For example in one location there’s Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica, but instead of Foxy there’s Monty, in another one perhaps Roxy is in Chica or even Bonnie’s place, and maybe there’s even a few locations where Freddy is paired up with some animatronics we’ve never even seen or heard about before.
The Pizzaplex that we’re familiar with is just one of those locations that uses Roxy instead of Foxy, and maybe there is a Pizzaplex that does use Foxy, but Monty, Roxy, Bonnie, or Chica are just not apart of that location.
Maybe the reason for Kid’s Cove and the canceled log ride is because Foxy was one of Freddy’s more popular friends, or perhaps he was planned to be at the Pizzaplex but Fazbear entertainment thought that 7 animatronics was more than enough money spent, especially since the log ride went nowhere so they just put a statue of Foxy in Kid’s Cove and called it a day.
The Pizzaplex seems large enough for there to be only one, but yeah, I'd see smaller restaurants only having one or two animatronics or mixing characters being a thing
^^ I actually have some designs based on this very concept!
foxy left to make his pirate show.
Honestly knowing how the Glamrocks are created it wouldn’t surprise me if Fazbear Entertainment simply took Foxy’s endo replaced his voice changed his personality and then slapped him into the Roxy shell and called it a day
Honestly I personally think Glamrock Foxy did exist at one point, just far enough in the past to where most of his presence was removed by Fazbear entertainment. Bonnie was only retired because of him being destroyed, so it's likely re branding Monty as the base player took up most of the companies time and as a result, left a lot of references to his existence. Foxy on the other hand seems to be a purposeful incident on Fazbears part, likely as a way to bring the company into a modern setting, and from what we can see, it seems like it's been long enough to where Fazbear entertainment has scrubbed most of his presence from the Pizzaplex, replacing it with Roxy. This could also explain why Roxy is so insecure. Sure, Foxy was the odd one out in the group, but he was still MASSIVELY popular, so the weight on her shoulders trying to live up to her predecessor who's been in the franchise since it's creation 50 years ago would take a mental toll on anyone.
Quote by Brightshadow, concept artist for steel wool and lore keeper: "Glamrock foxy was built for kids cove along with a prototype glamrock mangle, who was never finished. Foxy was shut off one day when a kid spilt his sodaroni on him, and he spazzed out. He was never fixed, cuz they had no money, and suck at their jobs, so they just turned the mangle design into roxy instead. Glamrock foxy had a fear of styrofoam. This is all canon. Next post will be about toy Freddy's favorite games."
I think the most frustrating thing about the Glamrock Chica being yellow in that story, is that in the same story, about a paragraph or so later, THEY DESCRIBE HER AS WHITE! Me and my friends were raging about that for like weeks
OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, THAT'S EVEN WORSE. XDD
I personally believed that all four of the original animatronics had glamrock variants, then a series of bad accidents occurred until only Chica and Freddy weee left
No
Freddy in space 2 Freddy and Wendy the wolf
Clearly, Foxy is just Roxy's out of touch dad.
*New Headcanon acquired*
After Foxy said that slur on stage they had to replace him with Roxy
I mean, we did get a Mr. Hippo fridge magnet, plus a Glamrock Mr. Hippo and the Mystic Hippo. Who's to say Orville is out of place in a book appearance?
I like to think that Roxy is Foxy's niece :-)
In my heart, there is.
I should probably see a doctor.
In my heart…your sob story is stinky, no offense eggplant man.
The thing with yellow Chica is that she was seemingly an older version, as that Shattered Chica in the sewers is yellow, implying that Fazbear Entertainment through her out and replaced her with the white version. But overall, I like the video a lot! It's easy to just say "no, there was or wasn't a Glamrock Foxy" and just leave it at that, but I'm happy to see speculation on it instead.
2:45 So... He's literally Swiper?
11:35 *Also,* shooting gallery - Fazerblast kinda takes that role, too? Carnie took it, then Freddy took it because Carnie's a Rockstar and we're doing Glamrock now.
13:50 Also, more girls. It's set in 2035, maybe only one girl is cringe according to test groups.
My boy foxy was just done dirty. I suppose after a main game without a proper chica and bonnie variants it was only fair for there to not be a foxy in a main game.
Hopefully he shows back up proper sometime in the future
7:59 tired, Noname 🐦?
Maybe Foxy being replaced was an excuse to bring a "hotter" character into the mix :P ? I mean... joke theory is a joke.
Idk how popular Foxy is in universe but since he was one of if not the most popular character irl, i like to asuming he had similar popularity in the lore and Fazbear entertainment knew there was no hope in hell they could make him vanish.
Like they were confident people would stop asking about Bonnie if they gave Montie the bass and a backstory. But they knew Foxy was to popular for them to just decomition so just gave him his old pirate coat and added some costal theming to the daycare.
I think Steel Wool bringing in new characters is great. As much as I was sad to see foxy and bonny missing, I appreciate the introduction of new characters after however many games of the same ones just in different iterations. What I dont like is how quickly these new ones have already been retired. Monty is surely too far gone to be brought back and Roxy was defeated by the mimic. Two new characters that replaced some classics are now just gone and what are we even left with?
Foxy was always my fave but glamrock bonny is basically tied now, which I think is quite ironic.
I hope Monty and Roxy aren’t dead, I hope they come back
@@shadowbowser5674I know you
I feel like if they have a foxy anamatronic, and if it is in the play center but with bonny's murder maybe foxy had a similar issue, ngl
And eclipse is sun and moon drop them using moondrop might be stating they are in control
i am convinced that there was an era when foxy was the DCA and sun/moon resided in the daycare theater
and later on, when the theater shows shut down, fazbear removes OG foxy since roxy already exists
Plausible. I mean, it makes sense since Mangle (a Foxy variation) was already meant to take care of kids (before becoming a take-apart-and-put-back-together toy, that is) and even the name "Kid's Cove" originates from Mangle's location. So the Foxy line was established as the one taking care of kids, just like the Freddy line is the singer one.
i really love the Cath phases in your titles and thumbnails they are so creative like sun and moon with A dying star or roxys Fixed by being broken I love it
also your an hour EARLY
while I don't agree with anything you said about Glamrock foxy not existing, I am glad someone is finally bringing up how important the cartoon versions of these characters are.
With the whole place kinda screaming cyberpunk, Cyberpunk Space Pirates could've worked for el cap-i-tan
This might have been completely unintentional, but I feel like Monty might actually be a better parallel to Foxy than Roxy, despite being two completely different species. When you point a Fazer Blaster or flash the Faz Cam at Monty when he’s decommissioned, he screams in pain and in FNAF 2 Foxy used to be driven away by pointing a flashlight at him. Foxy also spends a lot of time on pirate’s cove similar to how Monty is implied to spend time in Gator Golf, according to duffel bags, and almost occasionally attend performances, like how Foxy occasionally leaves Pirate’s Cove.
They’re also both somewhat aquatic-based as Foxy Is a pirate, and Monty is an Alligator. Both also only have pants as clothes in their basic versions and have some type of eyewear. Both also seem to be pretty popular in-universe. Foxy was replaced, and Monty is a replacement. Foxy was also theorized as the “good guy” in the group similar to how Monty is theorized as the “bad guy”. Monty also looses his legs, similar to how Foxy looses his legs at times in UCN. Both also have rides devoted to them. I also think they both also have an “outcast” vibe in the group, like something is different about them in particular that makes them out of place. Both also seem to have a particularly male demographic in-universe, so maybe Monty was made for the fans that were disappointed there was no Glamrock Foxy like, “Yeah, the Foxy fans will love this guy.” Maybe he’s where the Foxy fans went in-universe, which is why he got so popular. I could have made this all up though, idk. (Sorry if this was too lengthy.)
Hottake: Roxy is Foxy, but they thought the same as with Mangle or Funtime Foxy that is mor marketable to make girl fox.. and seeeing many MANY fanarts... i can agree it was a good move..
I like to imagine Foxy was just the captain foxy model/look from Help Wanted 1/2, just a classic Foxy animatronic in this pizzaplex, contrasting the high tech animatronics. Foxy was probably retired when the log flume was taken down. Or maybe not, maybe he’s just in a closet someplace.
A personal headcanon of mine is that there WAS a glamrock foxy being made, but he was scrapped mid-production and they just overwrote his personality chip and reused it for Roxy, BUT some of him is still in there and he is that second voice that speaks to Roxy when she's hyping herself up ("your hair is beautiful, your face is beautiful, everyone adores you, everyone wants to be you. You're the best!" "thank you... I am the best.")
I think Foxy is just that cool, heck, maybe next game he'll be a Ninja or a Viking
Yeah I've always found it weird people make a big deal about Monty replacing Bonnie, but seem to completely ignore that Roxie replaced Foxie
Wendy is "Roxy"
Personally, I think Foxy's personality has been tainted with Michael's grief. It is so deep-rooted that the character cannot be put in one of the self-machine learning endos and despite many attempts, they couldn't put Foxy into one of them.
So they made the best next thing could do: Just like Sun and Moon, the put two personalities into one body, Baby and Michael then flipped the switch and got Roxy (just like Cassie did with Eclipse) I've been thinking for a while that the personalities of the animatronics are not random, they're made from the data they've gathered from FNAF 1 to Pizzeria simulator.
Which is why Vanessa only threatened G.Freddy back in SB instead of just shutting it down, she knows getting a replacement is no easy task, the nature of the animatronics makes them unpredictable, even if you make a copy of them, wipe their memories, replicate the same learning pattern to teach the endos, it won't guarantee the endos will become docile to their bidding.
I'd like to put forward the idea that Roxy was Foxy in the prototyping stage. However, during the development of the Pizzaplex, they thought, "this needs some more spice," and redesigned him into a new character.
I don't have any actual physical evidence, so this is just a headcanon, but it would also make sense of why they look so similar. She literally WAS him at first.
I'm struggling to understand how we didn't get a glamrock foxy. But we technically got a glamrock Mr Hippo
😢
Foxy just went to the liquor store after realizing the rum is gone :)
I always theorized that there was a Glamrock Foxy, but he was decommissioned after he killed Glamrock Bonnie, meaning they both had to be replaced!
I hate the log ride in help wanted 2. Not the actual game but foxy just sounds depressed like he's only doing voices for the ride so he can at least go home with food.
rockstar animatronics built specifically to be burned? i would LOVE to hear more about this actually
18:21 There is a theory that it’s the mimic trying to mimic Gregory, based on the details of how similar their designs are
Also if anything it should’ve been trying to mimic Vanny since she was the one experimenting with it
Actually, Mimic mimicking Vanny would've probably been really creepy. O.o
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 yeaaaah
I like to imagine “what if it switched between different costumes from the books every time you played the scooper ending”
And also if you were to play that rout with the VANNI mask on as long as possible then it would be in her old costume from the base game and reuse her voice lines and even the unused ones
I say the unused ones too because of the “Vanny chasing Gregory in Chicas Bakery Easter egg” in the daycare theater” (which NEVER happened before)
Which implies there was more of a story with her in the base game than what we got, we just can’t experience it
Yoo Great Video!
Enjoy Your stuff keep going!
I Always Wondered about Foxy In Kids Cove.
You sure you even finished it yet
@@BOXBOY2006-6 yeah , skipped through segments on first watch then rewatched the full thing.
I wish other theorists looked at the books this way... Too many people see everything in the books as 100% canonical to the games. 😂
I think that the Glamrock Foxy never got completed, much like his log ride at the Pizzaplex.
"Is there a Glamrock Foxy"
NRNNAA: Well yes but not really but sure, but yes
My theory has always been that Foxy was too hard to keep fixing and they might’ve just wanted to keep him off to the side to avoid the trouble. I find it odd that there’s basically nothing on him like glam rock Bonnie has so that just helps feed my delusions! I feel like it’d be pretty cool to see his glam rock version make an appearance, along with his boat ride!!
Oh yes! Been waiting for a video from you on this topic😊 keep up the good work
Glam Foxy isnt in security breach because undead phone guy who is secretly the ceo of fazbear ent saw that the animatronics were being tampered and took his favorite boi out to be his personal animatronic. But hey that just a theory.
Foxy has been one of my favourite animatronics for a while (foxes are one of my favourite animals) so I hope he does make a return sooner rather than later! But that’s just me haha.
Always love your different takes/ different topics for vids
Wait if there was no other glamrock freddy casing does that mean the headless prototype is our original glamrock freddy?
I've certainly considered that. Especially since he's also left where Freddy would've been attacked by the Staff Bots in the Disassembled Vanny and Saving Vanny endings.
@notrealnamenotatall2476 very interesting
I will forever think replacing Foxy in-universe with Roxy was a dumb marketing move for fazbear.
Foxy is basically the Donald Duck to the mickey, goofy and minnie of the others, He was there near the very start and was always popular. in and out of universe.
Roxanne Wolf in universe just seems like a downgrade from Foxy in every single way, a self-absorbed idiot who would say they did cool stuff without actually doing it.
like, to put it simply. Roxy would leap off the highest diving board to prove something, and fail.
Foxy would just because He could. He's cool without trying
Cant wait to learn about Flamrock Gloxy

Flames and a Glock? That's an interesting decision.

Plus I think foxy was made to be in love with chica. And so, that means, that Freddy was made to love bonnie
YAR-HAW
-Foxy the pirate shierff
There probably was a Glemrock Foxy...In WARY early concept stages. Maybe they relised the Glemrock theme and the Pirate theme just didnt jell together at all, so they replaced Foxy with a new charakter that was build around this theme from the ground up. Heck thats probably why Cowboy Foxy failed he STILL had the Pirate theme, and while a Cowboy Pirate could be a fun and silly idea they clearly fucked it up and so turned Foxy into the kiddy charakter. As to why there was no Animatronic of him...maybe its a recent change. So his animatronic is still in construction
You know I have a theory I think the new lead of faz-bear entertainment is for the money bro ditched the whole kids friendly
A continuation of what I will call Pre-Glamrock Pizzaplex:
I have a headcanon that revolves around the idea of half-generations and Fazbear being super-cheap. In this, when the Pizzaplex opened, it wasn't Glamrock themed, instead it used what they had lying around and in storage: the AR animatronics, spare parts from the Funtimes, and scraps found in the FNaF6 wreckage.
My evidence is the slew of random very not 80's glamrock themed stuff: The Castle/Mr Rogers themed Sun/Moon/Eclipse, El Chip, the Storyteller tree from the books, and Pirate Foxy.
I think Pirate Foxy, Bowling Bonnie, and DJ Music Man started out as salvaged or surplus Rockstars.
Under this Daycare Attendant is a salvaged or experimental version of Security Puppet. Not the haunted one Vored by Left-E, but a new version of the same concept, like how Puppet existed alongside the Classics/Pre-Withered [the OG posessed ones] but had systems expanded on to make the Toys and possibly Funtimes [the patron tracking feature that is common to all 3]. Possibly built on the Mimic endo found.
I also think Glamrock Freddy [and maybe Chica] started out as a salvaged Funtime. Again, not the posessed one that made Ennard/Molten Freddy/Blob/Tangle/ whatever that abomination is called in the next game where it appears as the final boss, but salvaged parts from CBPR or its potential replacement, the AR service. This explains why he has a cavity that can hold kids.
Monty Gator could have come from another restaurant or FazService, or might be an original character for the Pizzaplex, maybe with an attempt at a Cajun eatery in the golf course, along with modified Rockstar/Funtime Chica's Bakery, Bonnie Bowl and Pirate Foxy's Cove.
Shortly after the opening, corporate did what corporate does and had committee meetings and demanded a unified brand, settling on Prince and KISS as the inspiration, leaving in the stuff that still worked [Monty and Bonnie Bowl], modifying what didn't [Pirate Foxy and Music Man] and eventually promoting the 2 newest characters to the main roster, relegating Bonnie and Foxy to jobber roles [to use a wrestling term].
Okay to address your issues with the books:
1. There are actually hints that an older version of Chica existed (her guitar is in a museum case in Rockstar Row despite her already having it, a Cupcake can be found in both her greenroom, as well as another case in RR. Her neon sign is also yellow, despite other various signage throughout the pizzaplex clearly showing that SW could have chosen WHITE neon to match her actual colouring. The rest of the band's strollers match their general colour-scheme, while chica's is yellow and pink, as opposed to white and pink
2. Completely fair
3. It's mentioned that DJMM has the bouncer mode and that the technician either couldn't or forgot to remove a line or two of the code, so it's likely he WAS in bouncer mode during that scene
4. As mentioned for point 1, it's just another Chica. Yeah, it's weird, but what can ya do? lol
5. Okay so I don't have the actual line on hand rn, but in Help Wanted, during the 'build-a-mangle' section, it says something about "other pizzerias", as well as Frights showing us that multiple pizzerias opened up after fnaf 6. Even if Frights isn't canon, that still provides us some useful info about the game timeline. This means that Kane could've just been referring to a different Pizzeria entirely
6. There is never a white tiger costume present in either RUIN or the tales epilogues. He has the chance to use a PURPLE tiger in epilogue 8, but instead goes for the jester outfit, likely meaning he's not even too attached to the tiger persona.
Hope this helped, great video!
I know a lot of people complain about the books but I really appreciate when you theorists look into the whole story fr. Foxy is some kind of a lynch pin, I don't really understand how, but this video and the fact that he changes appearances in every game has to be related to something
I do miss the original four. with the popularity of the new characters, I wonder how they'll continue the core cast after the Security Breach arc is over.
The way I see it I don't think there was a Glam Rock foxy because there wasn't need for one I imagined foxy would have been more like Sun and Moon. A type of animatronic that is made to be their own individual thing away from the core members of the glam rock band. Why sun had they're designed themed around the daycare. I imagine a foxy animatronic was likely to have their own area themed around them by either having a place like the kids cove for pirate foxy. Or the wild west theme ride for cowboy foxy.
I think it might be possible that Foxy's role (if he was supposed to have one) in the Pizzaplex is that he might have been supposed to be an actor, similar to the Staffbots that act and play roles in the theater, shown in the HW2 staffbot makeup minigame. With the hints of him originally being meant for the daycare, it would make sense that he also was supposed to preform in the Fazbear Theater in the daycare. Maybe Cowboy Foxy was one of his roles he played, along side pirate Foxy and potentially other genres. It would make sense with there being posters and cutouts for a "Pirate Foxy's Adventure" movie/performance all over the Pizzaplex. That could be one of his roles he plays in the theater.
I feel like to keep Foxy in theme with what Fazbear's had become while still having him in his pirate theme he's famous for is to have him be like a galactic pirate or something (think like what Jonathan Young did with his music videos for "Glory or Gold" and "Man the Cannons" for an idea of what I mean), keeping him in his pirate themed roots while still fitting in with the new high-tech and "hip with the kids" branding
The fact they used porates of careibean specifically as an inspiration for the posters always stuck out to me. It seems like an obvious choice for a pirate themed character, but in this case it seems to be more. The movies were made specificslly to pormote a disneyland ride and see it it sells. Becouse of that i like to think they wanted to test the waters and see if a glamrock foxy could sail. To us, viewers, it seems obvious there should be one, he was always a fan favourite, but in universe he was always the faulty one. The og was broken and out of oder, mangle was a mess. The foxes propably didn't have a great reputation eith the parents who took their kids to these restaurants, so it makes sense that fazbear ent. Didn't add a Foxy right from the start
Freddy's tie and hat are black in the cartoon; like in the "vintage" or "retro" poster... Hmmm... Does that place the date of the cartoon and the "freddy era" of FNAF4?
When you said "have their cake and eat it too" my brain just instantly went to Valentine by 5 Seconds of Summer 😅😂
It's plausible that foxy and Roxanne are related in a adoptive sense where foxy was indeed replaced by Roxanne but the fazlore is that foxy raised Roxanne whom became a member of the glamrocks similarly to goofy and max from the goofy lore of the greater Disney mythos.
