Game Theory: This 10 Year Old Detail SOLVES FNAF!

Thanks to SoFi for sponsoring today's episode!

FNAF’s 10th anniversary has come and gone and with it comes a TON of new and exciting announcements! From the release of Into The Pit to the teasing of Secrets of The Mimic, there’s a lot to be excited about as a Five Nights at Freddy's fan. But while watching the teaser for the new game I noticed something… something specific about the Mimic that was right in front of our eyes for over 10 years! Think back to FNAF 2… do you remember?

MatPat: Everyone is a robot
Lee: Everyone is AI
Tom: Everyone is the mimic

[IsabellaOuyang-tbpc]

I love how Tom is beginning to prove that he's just as crazy as Mat

[gamingbeastlol]

Wouldn't it be crazy if the "Charlie dies first" theory still stands, because the order of lighting the candles wasnt the order in which they died, but the order in which their souls were freed from the suits?

[Beautiful-ModelBarbara-Hut-sj]

I have another theory, what if The mimic was from sister location? It could explain the ennard mask, suits that we see in ruin (maybe the springlock suit from sister location), and the scooper in ruin. Maybe the basement of ruin is actually sister location. Sister location was underground, it could make sense.

[TheBoogieMan-tqdz]

I’m starting to think Tom might be as crazy as MatPat

[AngelinaHickman-ph]

Looks like Tom is following in Matpat's steps, he must be so proud

[rafaelrust]

henry knowing that William was a child murderer would make sense with him being the auguste clown, his job was to make animatronic that would entertain children, but for whatever reason he failed to keep them safe as he permitted them to be in the vicinity of a man he knew was a danger

FNAF possessing the host(s) of Game Theory is somewhat comforting.

[Reino-Setä]

"We've got 11 versiona of BALLOON BOY!" "Who asked for that"
Me.
I asked for that.

[AngelinaHickman-ph]

It also makes sense why he made the security puppet for Charlie if he always knew that William is a child murderer.

[BendyOl]

Congratulations! It took Tom only 3 FNaF theories to go completely insane.

Fun fact: in Into The Pit you can interact with the paper pals on the wall and when you do a 4th one appears underneath the first 3 with red limbs. I don't think this entirely disproves Tom's theory, since those 3 in ITP have different designs from the game versions. For example: colours of the limbs, one is missing a bowtie, no hats or ears etc.

Edit: First comment i wrote that got 1.k likes... cool!

15:51 I saw a pretty interesting theory where instead of this being the order they were killed, it's actually the order they moved on

[DinosaurousRecks]

Thanks for crediting me at 10:13, I really appreciate you checking it out!!!

[Randompanda]

That line from Caesar feels more like it refers to Henry. It’s about how the good one does is forgotten while the bad remains. There’s not really anything you can point to about William that’s good. While Henry ultimately tries to help the spirits as best he can. I think the use of that line is more referring to Henry having built the Mimic, and how it’s gone on to do evil even after his death. The plot of the new game then involving William’s corruption of its programming, which would be the wound.

[TanguDisen]

"This video features the mimic!" Most likely Scott: "Is it?"

[Krxzy_boi]

If you look carefully, Freddy’s paper buddy has one button, Bonnie’s two buttons, and The Mimics three buttons. Maybe this could be a key indicator that Freddy was the first costume made, then they made a Bonnie costume, and then maybe they decided to take a different approach because maybe something went wrong with the first two costumes.

0:23 He just got the job and is already crazy

[emitsu_kitsu]

10:50 Pairing the mimic (a clown type character) with Freddy (a bear, commonly seen as one of the animals a circus can train) and Bonnie (a rabbit, commonly associated with magicians who tend to ALSO be a part of circus shows) actually makes a lot of sense to be completely honest. Even though she's an animal like the other two, Chica is the odd one out. How are CHICKENS associated with the carnival/circus?
Edit: the exact same point goes for Foxy.
Edit2: A fair is NOT the same as the circus. Chickens have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CIRCUS. If we're going with a carnival though then I'll concede chickens make sense.
