The REAL Tragedy of Five Nights at Freddy's

Welcome to today's video about the FNAF character with the most TRAGIC story. The three candidates I considered were Henry, William, and (if you watched the video you know who this is). If you think I got anything wrong or missed anyone, LET ME KNOW! Hope you enjoy the video. Subscribe for a Free Freddy Faz-Watch.

Before I finish the video, Imma guess the most tragic is Michael. Yep. Pretty much what you said about Michael at the end is why I love the GlamMike theory so much. He would finally be able to have a happy ending with his family even if they may not be his old family.

Glad you watched the whole video

The most tragic character in fnaf is Nightmare Bonnie because he never learned what the Wi-Fi password was (joke).

Rip the 12 kids William killed

[@Takejiro24]

Thank you for focusing on Michael saying "[the Funtimes] didn't recognize me at first". It's something that has always stuck out to me but I don't think I've seen many people talk about. I like how you tied it into as evidence of Michael remaining with William as his unwitting puppet. I don't know how popular the theory was before RyeToast came out with their video on it; but, Michael having once been William's puppet seems to be getting traction. And it's very compelling as a narrative. I can 100% see William lording C.C.'s death over Michael's head as a guilt complex.

[@Sandwichly]

Gonna be honest I didn't know Ryetoast made a video on that theory, but its definitely a purposeful choice in language by Scott Cawthon. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

It's entirely possible that Michael is still alive. He had a way out of the simulated pizzeria, Henry just assumed he wouldn't take it. And in Security Breach we can find his room(or an exact recreation thereof) hidden behind a wall in the Pizzaplex, TV still on, audio recordings of Vanessa, and literal writing on the wall. There may be closure for Michael, yet. But not without additional hardship.

[@JtCondell]

I do feel like Michael is an amazing choice because unlike his father instead of embracing his mistakes he decides to go the harder route and reject them. I do believe he is the reflection of what William could have been somebody who was truly sorry for his actions and tried to repent them.

slowly leaking the lore

[@monstrdog7031]

There's my fav zombie! Poor wet cat of a man thrown through the ringer decade after decade :V. And regardless of if willy lost his mind due to losing his two younger kids or was just nuts from the get go, everything that happens to the bastard is his own damn fault, from neglectful, and probably abusive, parent, to serial killer that experiments with his victims souls.

[@Sandwichly]

Michael is FNAF's Zombie. The question is what if more people were scooped, would he finally not be alone?

[@JtCondell]

I understand to an extent the argument that William is the most tragic character because my belief the crying child does die first causing him wanting to rebuild him so his crusade is built off of love and curiosity. What I feel like eliminates him from being most tragic character is the actions he takes showing that he clearly has no remorse and he actively enjoys the suffering of others so overall yes maybe the old William is pretty tragic but for the man he's become is nothing more but a monster.

The *_real_* tragedy was that my membership expired

I think this video has some of your best visual editing of any I've seen. Great work

Appreciated

The one thing that will never fail to be stupid to me is this: how can the spring locks in fredbear fail during the bite? In order for the spring locks to come into play, the suit has to be in, well... "Suit Mode", but it's clearly in animatronic mode. So it's not a springlock failure per se, it's more likely that the mechanical jaw was simply very powerful and it wasn't a failure like we assumed all this time. Instead It was a hazard like how a buzz saw blade should never come close to your hands; and since that's where the kid's head was placed, and if you consider that it wasn't the jaw suddenly snapping closed, you'd probably think it was more like there being a constant pressure being applied before the Crying Child's skull gave to the pressure that Fredbear's jaw was applying. Just a thought.

[@AirQuotes2962]

To start, I mostly agree with your decision. Mike is basically the punching bag of the series. When this series gets bored, it takes a shit on his life, and he almost definetly has the most tragic story. However, I would argue that Vanessa has the most tragic story. Firstly, she appears in both Help Wanted (as the player) and Security Breach, so she does appear in multiple games. And across both games, we find out a LOT about her backstory. How she had a manipulative, likely abusive father who tricked her into testifying against her mother during their divorce. How her mother killed herself after that, and Vanessa would most likely feel guilty about lying in court and testifying against her, even blaming herself for the crime. How she would end up being possessed by Glitchtrap as a beta tester. In the therapy tapes, we can see her reaction to Glitchtrap and the terror she feels about it (she mentions how he is 'always watching') and how she even correlates Glitchtrap to her father's abuse. I mean, it seems as though she had to watch as her own body was used to kill more people, which I'd argue is a worse fate than being killed because it happens over and over again, with multiple kids as we see in the newspaper. Glitchtrap also used her to take over the PizzaPlex and get rid of all the other staff in the All-Staff Meeting, which would also be rather traumatic. All of this before she even reaches her mid twenties (she is 23 years old as of Security Breach). So yeah, Mike is definelty a good choice, but I'd say Vanessa is better.

Not bad... Not bad at all

[@ryandyer3466]

Phone Guy upon joining Freddy Fazbear’s (possibly Fredbear’s) starts off recording tapes, which hear in FNaF 3. By 1987 he has risen to a seemingly managerial position he is acts as if everything was normal until the 6th night after the events of SAVE THEM occurs. Sometime before FNaF 1 is either demoted or takes up night shift because no one else would. Phone Guy by this point decided to retire from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and during the day before he was free he was killed by Golden Freddy the very same character that he made training tapes for. Phone Guy would be stuffed into a spare suit in the back. Phone Guy never had his happiest day

[@ryandyer3466]

This is why I think Phone Guy is the most tragic character

[@Heheheheyoulooked]

great editing and video!

Thanks so much!

[@kevinahm3773]

Great theory👍, can you make a video where you solve this william mimic debate what began because of burntrap?

[@Goonbastic]

good stuff!

[@Mango_of_lies]

the real tragedy is FNaF SB

[@Sandwichly]

indeed

[@Space_36-dm7il]

Agreed

[@retrov5469]

Awsome video, video as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew it just had to be Micheal Afton I 100% agree. But also just a little tidbid, but the abrupt ends to your videos always catch me off guard

[@Sandwichly]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Also, as a creator it's not the wisest thing to let your audience know when the video is coming to an end. If a viewer feels like the video is going to end, they may click off and go elsewhere. (Not great for retention)

[@thegamerhashira]

Well I agree it’s Michael but I don’t think he really did everything his father asked instead I think after he found out his dad was a murderer he planned to end it all then he found out from henny that his dad got spring lock then he ended it for good but his life really was ruined by his father.

[@Twistedslop62]

Great video.

[@PFGFrankly]

spinoffs are non cannon but some asspects of it is

[@user-nm1lx8qb3u]

No it is CANON, it's just not in the same CONTINUITY. Scott said so himself.

[@PFGFrankly]

@@user-nm1lx8qb3u your thinking about the books. FNAF world Freddy in space, that fighting game They are non cannon but some assepts in those game are cannon. FNAF world example take place in the flip side. A whole different form of reality. So non cannon

Random question: Do you have a stream schedule or do you just stream on random days?

[@Sandwichly]

No stream schedule. My schedule is so inconsistent that I normally stream when I don't have school, work, or any video stuff to do.

Welcome back

[@ms.tatortots5419]

While I recognize that William built baby, by your logic of “he’s her parent and should have been watching her” the same also goes for Henry since “he’s her parent and should have been watching her.” What happened to Charlie is that a bunch of children decided to lock her outside (in an act of bullying) and her parent wasn’t there watching over her which allowed for enough time for her to be murdered. Just because he had a robot watching over her doesn’t mean he’s excused. If you left your child in a room with an Alexa device watching them while you did other stuff you wouldn’t be excused if something happened to them.

[@theretrodragonyope]

I heard your points and I do disagree. In fact, if William actually assisted his father, that makes him worse/less tragic. It makes him wayyyyy worse; now if he helped to fix his brother C.C, I can sympathy with that. However, he did kill a child and if he helped someone kill 5+ more. Yeah, nah.
