A lot of people have been asking me for either a Baldi's Basics theory or Granny theory. Which would you want, if either?

“What’s the scariest part of bendy and the ink machine?” “MatPat”

DAGames: WHAT Dantdm: WHAT Tori: Oh look another boris

Matpat: "makes extremely deep lore for this game" The Meatly: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!

"Wally is actually gonna be bendy" Wally : *is outta there* Matpat : *surprised pickachu face*

Summary: Joey makes his stolen oc real and everyone dies.

The scariest jumpscare in BATIM? Matpat

There should be a horror game themed on matpat and his theories... Five nights at MatPats!

"Do you know what it's like, living in the dark puddles?" Me, respawning for the 10th time: _yes_

"And we online know that stealing an OC is unforgivable."

"Uh, Bori?" I'm dead

MatPat last video: “I think it’s a little late in the story to add new characters.” Me: How well’d that one work for ya?

So basically, because your theory came out and made so much sense for something that was completely wrong that the devs didn't intend, they said "oops" and redid everything using your video as a blueprint. Wow. Bravo devs for being very careful and calculating with everything. And also paying close attention to what the fans want.

You know there is a recording in chapter 3 where Wally complains about how no one but him ever cracks a smile..I bring this up because look at Bendy's face. Nothing is visible other than one large smile. Bendy never stops smiling no matter what. Even if you do something that should annoy him such as escaping. I'm surprised Game Theorists didn't call attention to that. Now that the game's final chapter is out we know that it officially isn't Wally. But perhaps it was in the beginning and they simply changed their mind during production.

It's cozy when matpat say's "welcome to game theory"

I mean, it makes sense. When you die, you clearly see being reborn (aka respawned) inside of ink machine. Not only that but you respawm next to BENDY statues.

As soon as I heard the word "Bori", I seriously couldn't hardly breath from laughter

Bendy and the ink machine has 5 words in it. There are 4 chapters. 5-4=1. There is 1 ink machine. 1+1=2. 5-2=3. The illuminati has 3 sides. Confirmed? You decide. Edit: thank u for the likes. Wow. I never had his much attention. Thank u MATPAT AND THX TO U GUYS!!! Guys. I am just a kid. Plz chill.

Actually MatPat, Pentagrams being evil is actually a misconception. They actually when your stood in one, drive away spirits.

After seeing the new Bendy and the dark revival merch I now believe that Henry might actually be a perfect Bendy.

This “perfect bendy” theory seemed like a prediction to the Spongebob Popsicle phase that TikTok is going through.

The intern: I`m outta here MatPat: *TRIGGRD*

“MatPat has gone CRAZY” And you’re surprised?

“there he goes, no one knows” -henry’s pets

Joey: Ima steel Henry: Nuu! Iz my OC DU NOT STEEL

In chapter 3 suzie/alice said "i wont let the ink demon touch me AGAIN" so its possible alice/suzie looked perfect but it was BENDY who made her like that idk

Susie as Alice: Do you know what it's like living in darkness? Me: I have depression

I’ve become immune to all fnaf jump scares and yet, matpat manages to make me jump with a stupid intro scare. *ugh*

Alice/Susie: Do you know what it’s like, living in the dark puddles? Me: Goes outside, dumps muddy/dark water on the ground, jumps on it(hoping to somehow completely submerge me). Ya, I do!

The moment you mentioned how there will be a perfect Bendy i was like.... Yeah its gonna be Henry...

'I heard the machine say that Han Solo and Leia were Rey's parents!' *Looks down at audio tape*

Bendy isn’t a person. Bendy doesn’t even have a soul. He is a creation from the ink machine

MatPat gave us a shoutout! Dreams come true, The Leaderboard, dreams come true. Amazing theory as always!

MatPat: It’s getting a little sketchy! Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!!!!

Now that I rewatch this video with BATDR on the horizon, a lot of theories are going around that I personally think make sense, say that Wally Franks will be the new “(almost) perfect Bendy” we see in the plushies that have come out as merch. This makes sense as yes Wally was a prominent character in the first game, yet was never revealed as a monster. He can’t be the Ink Demon because the audio log of (I think) Thomas Connor that you find in chapter 5 states that Bendy was made without a soul (or former employee). This rules out Wally Franks as being the Ink Demon. While yes it is highly possible that Wally Franks could have been Boris, the book Dreams Come to Life puts a spin on that and suggests (along with Audrey’s glowing writing) that the Boris we come to know and love is actually Buddy. And when you think about it, the gear could still represent Wally as the new Bendy character is seen holding a pipe so maybe he does contain some knowledge about machinery. I personally theorise that the Gent employees where turned into Boris clones as there were so many, and that Tom was turned into one. However I wasn’t sure whether Wally worked with Gent (I’m pretty sure he did) so that puts a spinner in that theory. Wow thanks for reading I guess hope you enjoyed? :/ Edit: it was also theorised that Bendy was trying to protect Henry as perhaps he recognised him. Think about it. He chased Henry, but he stops chasing Henry whenever he enters a Miracle Station. But we know based on our encounter with Norman Polk (the projectionist) in chapter 4, that the monsters can still see you when you are in the stations. Perhaps Bendy knew Henry would be (mostly) safe in the stations and therefore left him alone? And when the projectionist saw him, Bendy came to the rescue. Perhaps in chapter 5, he knew what Henry was going to do, and to stop him from doing that he transformed into Beast Bendy. Maybe he was just angry that he had protected Henry all this time and Henry was just gonna up and destroy him so :p Idk. It’s just one of my weird theories I come up with in the middle of the night

"if we have one more researcher turn into a monster for a 'SCIENCE' video, im outta here" -Jim the Intern

“Bendy being Sans makes no sense” -TheMeatly 2018

What you theorized was WAY better than what we got.

His micky mouse OC was too important to him

Bendy: I fear no man...but that thing...*looks at matpat* Matpat: *making a theroy* Bendy: ..that thing scares me

lesson learned: don't steal other oc's from deviantart

Who else got scared because of the Matt pat jump scare no just me xD

I find it interesting that Evil Alice says that living in the dark puddles is a 'buzzing screaming well of voices' because when you die, you are crawling through a weird inky tunnel full of voices. Maybe you yourself are being reborn through the puddles?

Captions: "My god" Me listening without captions "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SHES HOT" (1:38)

MatPat: "Until 5 Chapters at Bendy's 2" Me: *VIETNAM FLASHBACK*

Me: *TRIGGERD* My Mind: *TRIGGERD* MY OTHER SELF: *NOT TRIGGERD* HEART:... *DEAD* MY FAMILY:not even watching but *TRIGGERD AT THE NEWS*

"Bendy as sans doesnt make sense" Bendytale: *I agree to disagree.*

The book “Dreams Come to Life” answers a lot of questions

I was drinking and when he said “Wally Franks is probably Bendy” I was so shocked.

"Turned me into an ANGEL!!" Sounds like something from bioshock Lol

Haven't played Dark Revival so no spoilers please. But I do know about the perfect Bendy. What if that is Henry?

The endless cycle of beating Ink Bendy and visiting the studio via Joey’s house represents the endless cycle of being reborn via the ink machine. Joey refuses to accept the fact that you are destined to be the perfect bendy, so he keeps trying to turn you into a monster. Edit: Dude, I’m old already. I cannot believe Chapter 5 was released 3 YEARS AGO

When Matpat becomes a main character in Bendy: Bendy & the think machine.

Why did the jumpscare in the beginning actually get me 😂 Edit: 1.5 THOUSAND LIKES?!?!?! Thank you guys 👍 Edit 2: 2.3 THOUSAND? YOU GUYS ARE INSANE

in batdr there is the perfect bendy so 6:34 correct

I actually think it’s the second voice actress and the original actress. Susie is the homicidal one. She angry because she was promised shortly after she got fired that she could be Alice forever and then was turned to Alice angel while Alice took her spot. When Alice was turned by the ink she wasn’t fully turned. She only looks partly like Alice angel because she isn’t the original. Susie got turned fully because she is the original voice actress. That’s why when Susie was killed she said “you- you have my face…” Either Alice was turned to look like Susie or she was turned to look partly like Alice angel. (Also, I’ve seen comments on other videos that say Susie acts that way because the ink messed with her brain.)

Notice how whenever the player dies, there is a death scene whereby they are sent through what seems like a vortex of ink & whispers - one could even say that it's a "buzzing, screaming well of voices"; exactly what Alice Angel describes in her little speech. If MatPat's theory is right, then that means that corrupted Bendy is getting the player's lifeless body & throwing it back into the Ink Machine for them to be reborn, also meaning that the scene represents the player emerging from the tube protruding from the machine. To me, it seems like there's no other reason for the death scene to play: it's definitely not a loading screen & it'd be meaningless if it wasn't, so I can therefore conclude that the player (whether if they really _are_ perfect Bendy or not) have to be some form of ink creature.

Honestly I wasn't surprise that our Protagonist, Henry. Will become the perfect Bendy. Since there were no remaining character logs/characters as we discussed and how they kept trying to find the "perfect Bendy" and fails miserably. So heres a thought that I brought up mid-way through the video. "Well, if all of these employees fail to become the perfect one. How about our protagonist? What would happen if he went through that machine"

Mabey Wally Franks was the perfect Boris but now Tomas Conner is Mecha-Boris.

I'm happy that he said that "You are the good bendy and you will set the employees souls free" I was in couraged by that. Thanks game theory that was nice of you.

Matpat: "henry is gonna be bendy!" Me: "....yeah i saw that coming"

The flaws here are obvious; for the one thing, the Boris that we hang-out with in Chapter 3, isn't the Tom-Boris that we meet at the end of Chapter 4; it's the Disfigured Boris that Alice makes us fight at the end of the Haunted House ride. (which is kind of disappointing, considering this chapter was built-up around SAVING him.) So regardless, what we knew about the original Boris makes sense for him to be Wally; he still knows enough to dismantle certain mechanics - like the lever for the door - and knows his way while crawling around through the vents; so it makes sense that he's a maintenance man like Wally. In a way though, I think I believe what you say that Henry is "destined" to be the "Perfect Bendy"...but in a lot of ways, I also think that's why Joey - Bendy - is trying to kill him. You have to consider the problem with your theory; if what you say is true, and Joey Drew ISN'T Bendy, then that means that Joey - who is of such SIGNIFICANT importance, to the lore of the game - so far hasn't made a SINGLE appearance. That's just bad story-telling. Plus, in a lot of ways, the Cartoon Character you become in this place sort of represents where you were - your position of power or recognition, or even your actions - during your time working for the company. Susie and Alison both become Alice Angels because they were both tied to the character at one point; but because Susie is overcome with hatred and jealousy towards Alison, her Angel is imperfect and distorted. Norman Polk is the guy who ran the Projection-Booth, so he became the Projectionist; I wonder if it was intentional on his part, as maybe he just came out as a blobby-Ink Person, but attached the projector to his head, because it was so familiar to him in life. Bertrum Piedmont becomes one of the Carnival Rides - the very ride he himself was designing; like something out of a Tim Burton-esque Beauty and the Beast. And Tom and Wally are both maintenance workers and clean-up crew...Effectively their job is to obey orders; to go to each location and do as they are told...Almost like Dogs; plus they're ultimately friendly and loyal - Tom being worried about safety with the Elevators, and Wally never abandoning the place, despite claiming to be "Outta Here." So of course, they'd take the form of Bendy's Sidekick Boris. Sammy and the other workers in the facility are the face-less ones; the ones who didn't have much notoriety or respect. As Sammy himself stated in Chapter 2, no one really appreciates his craft, or considers it work - especially to the point where Joey put a pump to drain the stairwell in his office, meaning that people were constantly coming in and out all day. Plus, I doubt anyone really liked Sammy too much. Because of this, Sammy - like so many others - didn't have enough of an impact to become a distinctive character, and are just trapped as humanoid blobs, desperate to get out... And then there's Joey Drew himself - the head-honcho. The guy who pretends to be all about inspiring people to go for their dreams, while being unable to stomach the platitudes himself; the guy who dreams up plans and ideas and forces others to make them a reality, the guy who steals other people's work in order to promote himself...The guy who built and installed the Ink Machine in the first place... I am certain the reason Joey did this, was in an attempt to escape death, his own weakness, and achieve immortality by becoming his Animated Character Mascot, Bendy. But then, why is he corrupt? Take notice of how the walls will sometimes have, "The Creator Lied to Us." written on them... That's a reference to how Joey took credit for being the creator of Bendy, when all he did was steal it from Henry. The reason that Henry is important, is because he is the TRUE creator of Bendy. Therefore, because Joey lied, the ritual did not work, and his Bendy form is imperfect and deformed...In fact, I believe the reason that Joey collected the Projectionist, is because he is doing much the same that Alice did - he's trying to fix himself; achieve perfection by stealing the Ink and Insides of other ink-character monsters in the building...that's why he goes after Sammy FIRST before attacking you...But at the end of the day, he's still trying to get you - because he believes...something... Consider the fact that this has long since happened before Henry received the letter...and the Ink Machine was turned off. My guess is, that when the Ink stopped flowing, most of the characters were trapped inside the pipes and couldn't escape. Someone had to have turned the Ink Machine off, or maybe the ritual failed because Henry was not present... Maybe that's why Joey sent Henry the letter, asking him to come by the studio and see everything...and that's why Henry had to gather up the items to place on the pedestals to perform the Ink Machine Ritual - he needed to provide something of his OWN in order to properly appease whatever "god" is causing all of this...the bottle of pen ink... Now that the REAL creator has returned, I see one of two possibilities... 1; that Henry will become a Perfect Bendy and manage to save everyone, putting them to rest, like you said... Or 2; that Joey is going to try to use Henry's body - to assimilate him into his Inky-Form in order to become a Perfect Bendy himself.

Fun fact: when I played the door at the end of chapter five gliched so the switch was up but the door wasn’t open so I couldn’t open the door. It happened because I opened the door then left the game

I appreciate the theory but the 2019 BATIM book “Dreams Come to Life” Field at a new character known as Daniel Lewek, or “Buddy” was actually turned into the Boris we see in the game, as a matter a fact it seems that Wally Frank’s was the only person who didn’t get transformed

Wally franks is the Boris you see turn into the monster Boris you fight at the end of chapter 4. Tom is just like you said, another Boris clone, and since he was probably an imperfect soul he couldn't process his arm, that's why he has a robot arm. And if you read Wally's audio logs, he seems like a pretty nice guy compared to tom, so when he went through the ink machine he became a perfect Boris clone and even Alice says that he's the perfect Boris. I know I might be wrong, but that's what I think.

Further poof, it was said that being reborn was a streaming well of voices. That's what happens when you die, and you are reborn. Maybe, you become bendy when you die the first time, but there could be different endings if you die at all in the game, or run through perfectly.

Ngl the background of when MatPat is talking about Wally Franks being bendy looks like the main menu of the game Control

That jumpscare scared the living HELL out of me.

that matpat at the beggining scared me lmao

When someone comments that MatPat’s theories don’t makes sense: 0:37 🆃🆁🅸🅶🅶🅴🆁🅴🅳

10:11 and he takes (takes tasked takes)

I believe that bendy doesn’t even HAVE a soul I think maybe he’s just the devil or something He dies after you show him “THE END” It’s not him

When Matpat mentioned that the ink machine could make copies, could it be possible that Wally and Thomas were both boris? Boris-Wally could have been the one taken by Alice and tossed back in the ink machine along with Alice's "help" to create that monsterous boris. Boris-tom could have been hiding with Allison Angel, waiting for a time to strike Susie. That boris appears more confident with his wrench and armored arm than the previous boris, who would cower at the sight of an enemy. Susie could have been aware of Boris-Wally but not Boris-Tom since he was Allison Angel.

I have 1 question for you WANNA BE A MEMBER!!! WANNA BE A MEMBER!!!

2:40 all KZfaqrs: WHAT?! this one KZfaqr: Boris!

The intro before it had the yellow part for food theory brought back some memorys

Hmm, the ink machine is like a judge..eh? It.. seems familiar... (--_o)

DAGames: What?! DanTDM: What?! Tori: Boris!!! Omg that was adorable editing 😂

0:48 oh its my brother

Matt: the perfect bendy is YOU! Me looking dead eye to the screen while eating cold pizza and drinking monster

Yea I think that MatPat has gone insane and has made a "Theory machine" and has everyone trapped in his recording closet judging from the intro

In many lore, pentagrams are actually meant for protection (trapping demons, sending them to hell, ect). In other lore, they are meant and made to summon demons. In many lore, they are meant for both. Just wanted to mention that.

Thanks MatPat. That intro jumpscare actually made my heart skip a beat.

4:06 i love you for making this reference

I think that Wally Franks may actually be Bendy, but Joey Drew may also be a version of Bendy. In chapter 4 the Bendy that kill the Projectionist knows that Henry is in the Little Miracle station, but doesn’t kill him, he lets him go free. I think that the Bendy that emerges from the Ink Machine in Chapters 1, 2, and 3 is Joey, who is trying to keep everyone in the Workshop, whilst the one in Chapter 4 is Wally Franks, who wants to set everyone free, but cannot do it himself. Also, I think that Sammy may return in Chapter 5 as one of the freedom fighters, who are the team of Reanimated Cartoons that want to take down Joey Drew and set everyone free, and that Wally Franks will be the freedom fighter leader. Also during Chapter 2, Sammy says that we look familiar, I think that he means we look like Bendy, suggesting that after passing out in the end of Chapter 1, Joey Bendy used some of the demonic ink to try and turn us into one of the searchers, but because we drew Bendy, we started to become the perfect form of Bendy, but are still trapped in the ink hub, as possible suggested by the, what I’ll call the Nightmare Sequences, the 3 scenes in the beginning and end of Chapter 4, and the secret in Chapter two using the miner searcher, and the Respawn Sequence.

I think its more plausible that Boris in Chapter 3 is still Wally. If you manage to give the bone to Boris in Chapter 3 it will reappear in the mouth of the Boris you fight in Chapter 4. The Meatly made mention that Wally never made it out of the studio but judging by Wally's laid-back and lazy personal he'd embody more of the Boris we see in Chapter 3 hiding out in the safe house trying to avoid the craziness in the studio at large ("Getting outta there") as opposed to being the Demon Bendy we see running amok. It would be more poetic for Joey to be Demon Bendy and Henry to be Pure Bendy as opposed to Wally and Henry as the latter pair share no conceivable animosity in the past that would feed into a good ending battle in Chapter 5 and the narrative has been heavily foreshadowed Joey as the main antagonist and cause for the chaos happening at the studio. Another thing that disproves the Wally is Bendy theory is the nature of the ink machine reincarnation. Both Allison and Susie shared similar roles and thus they were turned into the same character that being, Alice Angel. So why would Wally be reborn as Bendy when his tasks at the studio were more akin to Tom, a maintenance worker as opposed to Henry, who this theory believes to be the pure form of Bendy and who was co-owner and possibly lead animator at the studio? Signs point to Wally becoming a Boris more so that a Beny.

I know that this video is a few years old, especially after now that the game is finished, but I really think that the theory of Henry turning into "Perfect Bendy™" would be a really cool ending to the game. Having said that, if there was an alternate timeline or some kind of secret ending in which said "Perfect Bendy™" occurs, that would be really really freaking cool as well.

Watching this video when chapter 5 came out is just plain out weird (love your theory’s! Especially the encanto ones!)

Matpat and the theory machine... I would play it.

I thought that Wally turned into a Boris, the one that Susie mutilated into Brute Boris who we killed and Tom turned into the new "Cy-Boris"

“Bendy being sans doesn’t make sense” It makes PERFECT sense

The end turned into an action movie

I just thought of an ending scenario where all the ink monsters have just turned back into people and Wally is there but all old and stuff and he just says "I'm outta here" and hobbles out the door.

I have a theory as well. I don’t think Alice/Susie is dead. If you seen the boss battle with Boris, and almost every other enemy you defeat, you see them dissolve into ink. But when Allison “killed” Susie, she did not dissolve into ink. She just collapsed, not dissolving. Even the end card showed her “dead” body surrounded by the Lost ones. So I think she will appear in chapter 5 :) Edit: Yeah you guys are probably right XD. There wasn’t that much evidence for that little theory :v

I feel like this theory would and is TOTALLY possible but the only thing that is missing is the link for wally and bendy since mat did say that they are turned into the characters they relate closest to but there isn't any link for wally and bendy that was clearly established.

Theory: Wally Franks was Boris in the twisted world, just the Boris that was transformed by Evil Alice and killed by Henry, but since he in the real world was, (clears throat), "Outta there!", the Wally Boris was purely made of ink in the twisted world.

No, the wheelchair is still there, and the Ink Demon still has that limp. In fact, if you pay any amount of attention to that animation or even just look at his updated model you can see his left foot is even _more_ deformed than it was previously. (It’s like. Just a glob now.) Personally, I’m honestly still convinced Wally actually did manage to get outta there before everything went to hell in a handbasket because that is exactly the sort of thing theMeatly would do. I also would sorta refrain from making too many assumptions about how the Ink Machine works since, let’s face it, we still don’t really know for certain what it is this thing does. But hey, *_THAT’S JUST ME!_*

TOM He works the cameras TOM He knows what all those buttons do TOM He’ll clear a paper jam TOM And he’ll pick up the laundry. He knows how to format, spell check, and text edit, and he’s working this job just for college credit. HES TOM THE INTERN TOM

2:50, obviously you shouldn't have been surprised. It's like everyone forgot the Boris clones

Please take notice MatPat! It just ocured to me: at some poit you did a batim theory (idk which cuz ive been binge watching them) where you theorized that based on the evidence that when the Boris monster dies it melts into the ink but Alice Angel just lies there after being killed, that the characters with human souls would not return to the ink (or something along those lines). But concider this: after Sammy dies he comes back, presumably via the ink machine, only more.... raw and angry, if you know what i mean. But this means he had to have melted to be reclicled even though he has a human soul.
