I think Michael being the FNAF 1-6 protagonist (except for night 1-6 in FNAF 2) is just so narratively perfect. I love the first few FNAF games as a battle between father and son, where Michael is trying to free all the victims that his father hurt to make up for what happened with his brother. Idk how narratively correct this is but the ‘it’s me’ in FNAF 1 being the crying child inside Golden Freddy just adds to this. The ending of FNAF 6 as Michael finally getting to rest to me is just such a perfect narrative conclusion.

Michael is one of my favourite characters and i wish we saw more of him in the games. But im just happy that his character exists in the series in the first place 💜

Michaels life was one filled with pain, pain of feeling neglected by his father making him a bully to his younger brother, causing him to inadvertently kill his little brother, soon after just having this feeling of deep grief and pain over what he did, under his fathers thumb till it lead to his “death” until he had enough and decided like Henry to end it all and burn it all down. My theory is that Michael is the “one you shouldn’t have killed” making his own father go through what he had to go through constant pain and fear over his fathers sins at night. <br><br>good video man keep it up

I do think Mike is the FNAF 3 guard, and the cutscene in the Sister Location custom night could’ve showed us that Mike did found William in the Fazbear’s Fright location and the place being burned was Mike trying to end it all, but William survived and he put himself back together with parts from Golden Freddy aka Freadbear (this is a theory that I like, and it explains why William looks different as Scraptrap then as Springtrap)

Bro went from a some reddit dude with the tag "FNAF 3 2023 IS CANNON" to a professional FNAF YouTuber.

pretty sure mike says "im going to come find you" after ennard leaves his body, and it showing springtrap emerge from the rubble is the aftermath of mike burning down fazbears fright, due to him finding his father.
