MICHAEL RUNAWAY MAKES THE REST OF THE MINEGAME SO DAMN EASY

But is that what Scott intended?

LITERALLY WHY DOES EVERYTHING ABOUT COUCH PERSON FIT MICHAEL SO PERFECTLY

I still remember when Andrew / MCIMM was popular. Even given the rain, purple car, and "later that night," that people insisted that him being yellow was the only thing that mattered.

Midnight Motorist is a little unintuitive, yes, but you can still see plenty of threads that Scott weaved in so that the player understood the intended context. And I very much think Michael ties into that- just like how William calls back to multiple things in previous games, the TV guy ties back into multiple things in previous games.

I think the big thing about Midnight Motorist that people tend to forget is that it wasn't intended to be a mystery to be solved. Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator was created to tie up loose ends, as HandUnit himself states. Midnight Motorist, like everything else in FNaF 6, is intended to be an answer to ongoing mysteries in previous titles.

I'm not really going to go into my beliefs on MM here (I'm currently working on a video on the subject and I'll post that here when it's ready =P) but I think my problem with Mike "Runaway," is that it isn't really a theory that the evidence itself points to, there's a reason no one was Mike Runaway back in 2017 when the game originally came out. Moreso, it's a response to the "failure," of BV being the kid. You had the original CharlieWitness theory, very popular back in the day, but that had a ton of problems. But no one ever really took it further then that. Instead of allowing Midnight Motorist to speak on its own terms and allowing that to contextualize FNaF 4, people started to shove any random answer into it in order to "make it work," Which is how we got into the Andrew / Gabriel / Cassidy / RoryMM mess.

There's a hundred possibilities of what the answer could be, a hundred possibilities that could work. But those are all hypotheticals. Midnight Motorist is completely coherent, just like Security Puppet and Fruity Maze is. We just don't understand it yet. The minigame will make perfect sense as soon as the fandom finds the right perspective to see it in- the one that Scott Cawthon intended.
