The Blob is NOT What You Think It Is (FNaF) - DMuted

[@r0n1nemp1re4]

Finally a theory where AR is more canon and used to tie in SB than just emails from the game

[@personismaybe0610]

I love the Blob, it reminds me of a character like Golden Freddy back to the FNaF 1 and 2 days. The mystery of this giant mass of animatronic parts that breathes and is only described as “angry and confused”.

[@syweb2]

Assuming Freddy is even talking about the Blob in that part. Given he refers to the other Glamrocks as his friends constantly throughout the game, he's probably referring to them instead.

[@quietnamestudiosPMC]

I personally think that since Vanessa inserted the virus into the system in AR, the Animatronics ARE controlled by them. But once again, why? Well, I agree with MatPat that they were used to collect remnant from others to gear up for Afton's grand return, and after some of their purpose was fulfilled, they were tossed into the Blob and the remnant was put into Burntrap. I also like your theory for Blob, or Mimic Swarm! Great video!

[@original_namexd5690]

I love that due to this theory there's a chance that shamrock freddy and firework freddy are cannon

[@GamingWarlord64]

I wish the blob was named the amalgamation it's such a cooler name!!! But what ever Its name is I'm just glad it's not the blob.

[@joshuavis2736]

Yea like it’s an effective name but it’s not all that great. It’s like calling it the pile

[@ashuraomega7113]

I'd save that name for an actual animatronic amalgamation that isn't just stitching together wire's

[@grimmason7377]

I called The Blob the Mimic Amalgamation

[@DanielTomilson]

Semi Random Theory The Tiger's head had the original Mimic's programming, when it killed one and later two men it got a huge boost in agony and went rogue. I like that Mimic saw Afton Murders, and later the behaviour was Copy-Pasted into the whole line. It kills Gregory if he gets close, not convinced it kills Burntrap, after it snuck up it could have easily smashed Burntrap (or at leaat started to) I still like that Vanny used Glitchtrap Virus + Construction Workers + Glamrock Bon Parts with Mimic Style Endo to build Burntrap. Ideas... The Blob is missing pieces because it was copy-pasted and corrupted by Agony too much, it wants Burntrap's Original Mimic Core to serve as it's brain and heart. The Mimics Want To Recreate The Agony Events As Closely As Possibly. Much Less Likely, The Blob is the semi-living tomb of Afton, the Tiger's head has Afton's skull inside, his agony controls it and remembers pieces of his soul. Afton in The Blob attacked Burntrap to get Burntrap's body. RUIN DLC could have a lot of black Agony ooze on and in all the floors and walls.

[@UnhorsedGoose]

Excellent video and theories as usual, I've just got a small nitpick, nothing to do with the actual theory but at 5:14 when you say "recreations", the way you pronounce it is "rec-reations" as though they were engaging in recreational activities, when what I believe you meant is "re-creations" as in making another or creating something again (to re-create). Typically both words are spelled the same, but for better comprehension it's best to use a hyphen to discern between recreational activities and the re-creation of something. Context clues also help determine the proper pronunciation, which is why I still knew what you meant in this instance, as you were talking about making new versions of old animatronics. I know I'm kind of being "that guy" but I'm just trying to help, just a useful tip for writing or reading.

[@random_user1xx62]

Something interesting is that in the original appearance of the mimic it is programmed to take endos apart, the Nightmarionne Endos tear Freddy apart in some of the endings, and Monty tore Bonnie apart, maybe because Monty wasn’t damaged like Bonnie they just put his casing on another endo? Idk just something that came to mind

[@thebreadbunny1863]

The mystery around the nightmare staff bots still remains, though.

[@thebreadbunny1863]

Also, there's a glamrock endo in the blob.

[@tyhappyproductions]

I like to think that Micheal’s spirit is the driver of sorts of train of agony that is The Blob.

[@Dunkinfallatree]

I think faz-ent stuck some ar animatronics up on that stage and that's how our bloby boy got them

[@Baa975]

Maybe Freddy sat dead and Burned outside But he becomes A Phantom And finds All the Old parts

[@rockstarherospirit]

Really good theory and I honestly think you could be spot on! That said, it's kind of sad to see this is where they are going. I found the agony idea more interesting. I don't like the mimic thing in any aspect. Souls/agony/remnant is so much more interesting than AIs just copying what they see.

[@wispisang]

While there are some part of the theory I feel are a bit shaky (that being mostly “the blobs” motivations who who might be controlling it) I think that it being the FNAF AR animatronics and absorbing burntrap because he’s a mimic makes A LOT of sense👍 Personally I believe we just don’t have the full picture to understand everything that’s going on yet, not all the pieces are there, but from a baseline stand point this theory would make a lot of sense.

[@RaisinHook]

5:13 Also the Happy New Year pic has Funtime Freddy & Lefty on the gift wrapping, meaning they were prob planned from the start, the only stickler is Mangle but that can come down to not accidentally leaking it

[@syweb2]

10:48 Will you stop being DMuted if you're proven wrong? That sounds rough.

[@ThefifthBishopofGord]

I think if they are all mimics who mimic what they see then they don’t have to all see the same thing. One could have saw and then other mimics saw that and mimicked that and other mimics saw those mimics do it and that repeated causing them to be all violent. And this leads to them receiving more and more data on how to be violent from each other until you possibly get them attacking other mimics.

[@MyDadsBeatMe]

Fnaf 1 if you die the animatronics stuff you into a suit, oddly similar to how purple dude stuffed kids.

[@Yokomation]

Honestly this makes alot of sense, this whole mimic theory, kinda like a Theory i like to think about Jurassic world and the baryonyx how they cloned another kind of bary that´s less a aggressive, in case you don´t Know about it, There was another Version seen onthe the website and it looks nothing like in the movie Fallen Kingdom and idea i came up with i like to imagine is Canon is an idea that the ones we see in the Movies are from isla sorna and the Website version is really a new Clone mainly because the company can clone anything they want, this mimic idea makes alot of sense in the same way, to avoid a bad rep, They made the Glamrock´s in place of mimics of the FNAF1 animatorincs.

[@apblolol]

say if this is true, and it is a hive mind of mimics. it would want to collect all other mimics too then.

[@TheMeganano]

If the animatronics that make up the blob are mimics of previous animatronics wouldn't it also make sense for them to mimic those old animatronics hate or attachment for william Afton/ Mimic Burntrap too? As far as everyone knows they mimicked what they got off a chip/sd card and not specifically what they saw so they might have even copied over the facial recognition software that had records of William Afton (Not that they could recognise him through Burntrap lol)

[@fluffy5302]

The blob is such an interesting character

[@IronVigilante451]

Maybe the incident mentioned was funtime freddy killing everyone, would fit with his personality and would explain why ar stopped after him

[@ImmortalAbsol]

-Good catch with the internals of the Funtime Freddy mask being in AR. -I don't think we should assume the casings from the scooping room are gone, but I do agree only Baby is possibly relevant to this theory. -In AR Lefty does not have the Puppet inside anymore but is scorched and dinged up, so I think unlike the others this is the original, (I can explain further if anyone wants), I don't think this impacts your theory either way. -I do like the idea the game was set to be abandoned and Scott and/or Steel Wool said well actually you need to get this one out for lore reasons.

[@Spidercop2099]

YIPPEEE! BUNNY WABBIT BEARS (real)

[@artbyphobia]

I honestly (in my opinion) love the theory that Afton is possessing his old Scraptrap suit and somehow take over the animatronics to get into back into the real world. I hope the theory of Vanny being Williams follower is real, because there are secret tapes that Dawko reviewed or Vanny and Vanessa during therapy sessions and might have revealed that she is being controlled and used by what we think is Afton. I hate the mimic theory because it takes away from Afton always coming back. I mean, having a new villain to impersonate Afton is slightly irritating, Hopefully in new games we will figure this all out.

[@dejinnthedjinn5311]

One thing I think could possibly be the explanation for the Blob's hatred of Burntrap could be that it is haunted by the other missing kids seen in the bad ending.

[@1Tombb]

The encyclopedia confirms it's Molten Freddy, and it obviously is, it's likely also possessed by the teens that the Mimic killed and threw into a pile of mass. So the Blob has more than just one intention on harming Burntrap

[@amytass6142]

Is that Phoenix Wright in the background??? Love it

[@notsolegitusername]

While I don't agree with a majority of this theory it definitely makes me put my thinking cap on

[@wafflepawffle52]

I like your theory over all I just think that having the AR animatronics be mimics doesn’t quite fit and correct me if I’m wrong but the mimic line of endo skeletons was described as looking more advanced than all the other animatronics in the epilogues. They expand and contract. Idk i think it’s a wonderful theory, i just think personally it’s the storyteller using the program of mimic_1, and I know that has an equal amount of plot holes. Anyways as always it’s a pleasure to watch your videos and see what takes ya have, have a wonderful day

[@MeemahSN]

Yeah, the AR animatronics are just recreations of the original mascots in an attempt to revamp the company.

[@Adventist1997]

The mimic may be the answer to the "haunted" robots in general. What if they really all did burn in the fire, but the mimic forces the story/story teller to keep killing and stuff? Parallel to our world too... 😂

[@Toffensky]

Wasn't there also a pile of ripped animatronics and workers that The Mimic ripped the arms and heads of? I thought it was supposed to be a reference in the epilogues but I may be wrong

[@1Tombb]

Which means the Blob could be possessed by more then the MCI

[@omnialynne4719]

Might be enemies might be remnant of agony mimicking afton attacking children trying to get away from afton like in the mini games not all the children passed away immediately some crawled or limbed. Or if they are sentient but not exactly enemies maybe he wants afton to fix what he started....

[@TheKatKaiju]

Holy sh*t. The man just cracked open something MAJOR. This might be the missing link we’ve needed. Great job, superstar. 🌟 Btw, where is Lefty? They aren’t in the Blob and they supposedly burned in the fire… Post view edit: I noticed you use a version of the Song of Healing in the outro. OT, but are you excited about Tears of the Kingdom?!

[@Lukes26383hehfiroriririfkeow]

How did you do the Kermit impression so well WHAT IS YOUR SECRET

[@Pat1enceiskey]

Yes

[@Shrekthe2nd]

Mostly makes sense, however you missed one key detail. Baby's eyes are not lit up, just like the puppet's. The only eyes that are lit up are animatronics present in one of the two MCI's. If this blob is made up of mimics (which makes sense since in the files you can see funtime freddy has a glamrock endo behind the casing), the perhaps its trying to mimic molten freddy in a way. The reason the puppet and baby's eyes aren't lit up is because they were not inside of molten freddy, but the mci kids and maybe even the toy mci victims could have been. I know you believe there was only one mci, but Scott said matpat got EVERYTHING right except phone guy being purple guy in his fnaf 2 theory, so we already know there was two, no room for debate there. Also note the puppet is really the only one with a burnt texture, which shows us this is THE real puppet mask, probably protected a bit from the fire but still set free by the point of Afton's death in the lake or fnaf 6 if you believe I seperate timelines.

[@dmuted]

I do not think the eyes being lit or not matters. Compare Golden Freddy in FNaF 1 to FNAF 2. It doesn't matter.

[@Shrekthe2nd]

@DMuted It undeniably matters when its all same animatronic and the ones without lit eyes are VERY different than the ones with lit eyes. Completely different than lit eyes across different games and animatronics.

[@dmuted]

@@Shrekthe2nd considering we've never seen Baby with the lit eyes at all and the Puppet is also a character who swaps between lit and unlit eyes, I am definitely not convinced it's relevant information.

[@nancydavila5734]

Eh i don't really believe that the fnaf ar animatronics Are ALL mimics

[@lawrencecalderwood]

I like your idea with the blob but I actually think he's actually the storyteller

[@silverboltscrapper]

Speaking of the Storyteller, I always thought The Blob's model was unfinished, with the Funtime Freddy head being a temporary asset that couldn't be swapped out in time since the game was rushed. Funtime Freddy's head is white just like The Storyteller's white tiger head. It's also a massive pile of wires, which The Storyteller's head was connected to. The Blob was likely intended to *be* the Storyteller before the game was rushed and the story beats were cut.

[@Th3Badd3st]

not first

[@CarnidevRae]

There’s absolutely no basis for all AR characters being Mimics. They’re just multiple bots of the same characters, the fact that they NEED a CPU chip to act like the characters is even more evidence that they aren’t Mimics because they ARENT MIMICING

[@Toby-Draven]

Ok can i just say that i absolutely hate the mimic, like to me mimic is 100% a retcon, there was absolutely no indication that mimic was a thing back in the 80s, mimic never existed until tales came out and said "wait actually he was there the whole time and he possibly saw the mci so that's why he's mimicking william afton" also I'm just so tired of hearing about the mimic everyday, mimic should've been a book only character and never should've been retconned into the games, one last thing the fact that glitchtrap isn't william but is instead the mimic1 program will forever infuriate me

[@freddyfzd]

Am about to say this right now burntrap was not killed if we look at burntrap and the blob grabs him like it's disappointed or that it's mad also glitchtrap is the mimic aka burntrap here's why when tape girl is talking glitchtrap is mimicking her want more proof when glitchtrap is waving to you in the main room he says hello can you hear me and tape girl says the same thing when she started the first tape
