I've covered the Markiplier Cinematic Universe over on Game Theory. So when I saw that he dropped a video of Warfstache as some FNAF animatronic inspired automaton, I knew I HAD to check it out. So today Theorists, I am going to be interviewed by Wilford Warfstache himself... sort of!

“This is just Mark wanting to be in the next FNAF game.” *about right.*

[@JameyMcQueen]

He technically already was in Five Nights at Candy's. He even brought in Emil Macko to make the Warfstache animatronic.

[@undercover6252]

Well, hes probably, prosumably gonna be the lead role for the fnaf movie?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?

[@Anti-HyperLink]

He's in Special Delivery, he's the poster boy. I wonder if he's also possessed by Glitchtrap if that's even what's going on in that game I honestly have no clue. Freddit is a nightmare (no pun intended) and I can't expect MatPat to explain everything, nor do I agree with everything he says. He probably has very little time to play the AR game. It's a different experience, although it's not like you have to go anywhere like the Niantic games. Maybe Illumix will eventually add some kind of stops. They don't have to. They're not Niantic. But people such as Dawko have suggested Pokéstop type things.

[@yourlocalweirdo3467]

[@HeraldingHistorian]

I thought it was a reference to the death of Markiplier in Who killed Markiplier. Mark said that he thinks they were playing Russian Roulette, but nothing is cannon unless it’s in a video. I guess now it’s in a video

[@july4378]

All of it is based on Who killed Markiplier, even when you get the ending "yes" or "no" it recommends you "Who killed Markiplier?" on screen. If you are really into the lore, everything he says makes sense

[@rylee_dads_bestie69]

It seems more likely to be wilford referencing him accidentally killing mark since literally right before then he talks about “two old friends meeting again and playing a dangerous game”. He didn’t know the gun was loaded and while wilford and mark were playing Russian roulette, mark died

[@july4378]

Also he says "I.... saw.... you.... die" which is obviously about us dying on WKM because of Wilford. Since the point he said that I knew it was lore based.

[@Halo916_]

I love how MatPat didn’t notice “Acceptable Murder Parameters” also, there are multiple references to the “Who Killed Markiplier” series Mark did. “I... Saw... you... die”, as an example, is a reference to how Warfstash goes insane after clearly killing you by accident, and seeing you wake up a few hours later

I thought the guilt that the robot has was WIlford's own guilt from "Who killed markiplier?" and wilford also mentions that it was a perfect recreation of his mind, meaning what we heard from the robot is actually from Wilford himself which helps support this.

[@dearfutureme2759]

That's what I'm thinking too! Since it's a "perfect scan of [his] noggin" it must mean that even though Worf doesn't consciously remember, SOME part of him does

[@thexp905]

It is, but it's not about how he killed us, but how he killed Markiplier. With the reference to Russian Roulette (the most dangerous game) and the talk about seeing us die, it's mostly tied back to Markiplier TV and Who killed Markiplier. This gives us more insight into how Serge became Warfstache. Picking "No" at the end shows that better than yes.

[@oliveravery3281]

That would be correct. Matt missed a lot but good video non the less

[@MattGOnYT]

Personally, I think the robot has the personality or “soul” of who the Colonel was (prior to becoming Warfstache), which is why he questions who he actually is during the video

[@adalinethomason6831]

that's what i was think. he also mentions that he doesn't remember who he is, which ties back to the fact that wilf came form the cornal. and who he killed was the person you played.

[@eef_04]

The “I didn’t know the gun was loaded” made me gasp when I first “played” the animatronic thing. I was also kinda proud that I remembered stuff from who killed markiplier. It’s so sad how the creation of darkiplier fucked Wilford up to the point where he doesn’t even understand death as a concept because of how the death of his friends traumatized him so much and then seeing someone come back to life just really pushed him over the edge :(

[@naomibear807]

I'm sad he didn't go through all the choices. Each time you die there's new lore spoken at the end. He got the first one which was "I tell you," but he missed the other two which were "it was an accident" and "there's still time"

[@mindlesssimulation]

On the video, someone suggested that Wilford created the robot because he couldn't handle the guilt from shooting his friend. And obviously that isn't a pre-recorded message due to Wilford knowing you said "Potato salad". In 'Wilford "Motherloving" Warfstache', Wilford refers to the detective as an "old friend", suggesting that he is the one that he is talking about here. Also Wilford seems to transcend time and space. Edit: Another comment on here says that the friend is Markiplier himself while playing Russian Roulette, and then everyone else dies afterwards

[@twodinosaursinatrenchcoat]

Yeah I believe that Abe, the detective, is still alive. Warfstache, as the colonel, killed Mark in Who Killed Markiplier. Something that I don’t believe has been specified happened to Damien (the Mayor) and the lady in Who Killed Markiplier that I cant remember the name of. The colonel accidentally shoots your character/the viewer and they fall backwards off the second floor and die. Not long after something happens and Damien’s(?) body stands back up and is Darkiplier. The colonel sees the friend that he just saw die stand back up and kinda looses it from there. Warfstache has repressed those memories and can’t remember them at all but his mind was copied into the animatronic and the robot can’t choose to ignore those memories the same way Warfstache can. I’m pretty confident that all the events from Who Killed Markiplier are what the robot talks about and references. Warfstache can’t remember his time as the colonel, but the robot can.

[@adesperateyoutuber2117]

I think it is prerecorded, since both the yes and no choices end with Warfstache saying the same thing, despite whatever the robot's reply to you is. Warfstache has previously demonstrated precognitive abilities, so that's probably how he knew you would answer potato salad.

Weren't they referencing "The Most Dangerous Game" as in the story? Considering they mentioned hunting man, drinking wine, and the acres of space, I'm 90% sure that what they were referencing. The word game in this isnt a literal game, but game as in something you would hunt, like rabbit or things like that.

@@cassie4516 He was absolutely referencing The Most Dangerous Game, a 1924 short story by Richard Connell. He tends to harken back to literature and theater reasonably often. He really *is* an intellectual. In that story a man invites someone over, gives him wine, tells him stories of all the great game he has hunted and intimates that he wishes to hunt the 'most dangerous' game, man. The wine was drugged and the man wakes up in the wild of the insane hunters' private island, and the rest of the story is him trying to survive. Mat made enough references to things in that story that I feel fairly confident that was the intended reference. It probably just made him think of that story. I know it did me.

I mean, it may be a teaser for a new project, but mostly it's showing the inner guilt that Wilford feels from _Who Killed Markiplier._ "A man goes to a party. This man met an old friend. The two friends shared someone. The two friends played a game... The most dangerous game. I didn't know the gun was loaded. I didn't know... Was it my fault?" This is literally a retelling of the Colonel and Actor Mark's relationship. The party is self explanatory, the two friends are Wilford and Actor Mark, the shared someone is Celene, the most dangerous game is the Russian Roulette that the Actor set up so he'd be killed by the Colonel, and the Colonel didn't know the gun was loaded. Then, there's "I saw you die", which is in reference to when we, the viewer, got killed and revived at the end of _Who Killed Markiplier,_ and the Colonel goes mad. Wilford is the Colonel who's just gone insane in this purgatory he's found himself in, and the Automoton is his inner guilt personified.
