Recently, Michael Afton’s status as a hero character has been called into question by other YouTubers. After all, he seems plenty willing to do William Afton’s bidding during the events of the 5th Five Nights at Freddy’s game, Sister Location, so wouldn’t that mean they were working together?

Well, with evidence from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator and the Survival Logbook, we may be able to find an answer

What are your thoughts on Michael and the Afton family drama? XD

I think he was with wiliam until sister location where he saw what his father was actually doing and decided to work against him. The only question is when in the timeline SL is

I think William was using Mike's guilt for accidentally killing his brother to manipulate him into thinking he could save his family but after he got scooped he came to his senses and started working to put a stop to it all.

Yeah I think is the most accurate way of looking at Michael Afton’s character. A man who was tricked to help his father, but when he realized what his father was doing he turned against him and tried his best to stop him no matter what.

Jeremy Fitzgerald is the true hero. Guy is so naive but the most competent employee Fazbear's could've asked for.

I wonder if their relationship was even good to begin with after the bite of 83. Considering William was willing to kill to "put his son back together again", wouldn't he be furious with the person who did it to him? I personally don't think Michael was working with his father. I think William took advantage of Michaels desperation to get his siblings back and sent him to sister location to die

I think Michael makes one of the most satisfying audience POV's, his character has a very satisfying story what with his redemption from being Foxybro and tormented by nightmares and such to getting a (supposedly) happy ending with his burning away.

The interesting between Michael and William is interesting and I do lean towards them working together until SL, whenever that game is in the timeline. Not a full hero, not quite antihero. Just a very neat storytelling character who remains morally grey enough to be interesting in a series with so many mysteries that it's easy to feel "disconnected" from every character because their true motives are always so hidden.

Micheal isnt trying to bring his family back, hes trying to undo all the chaos his father has done. In FNAF 1 you’re fired for tampering with the animatronics and odor. Odor meaning he was already in his decaying state from Sister Location. And his line “I’m going to come find you” meaning he’s going to come find and end William’s rain of terror. All Mike wants is to undo all the tragedy and sorrow in his family name.

I feel like there was a lot of gaslighting and manipulating going on and Mike being full of guilt from accidentally killing his brother would be easily manipulated especially if he was led to believe he could make up for what he did by helping William

As much as he killed his own little brother at least he found redemption

My biggest argument for thinking we play as Michael in FNAF 3 is the jumpscare. It’s so different from other jumpscares in the games — the animation looks more like springtrap is walking up to someone rather than jumping at them. This not-really-a-jumpscare would make the most sense if springtrap is approaching someone he knows and doesn’t want to kill (at least at that point). However, I don’t think Michael is really “with” William in FNAF 3 or SL, I think a lot of his motivation is related to the crying child. Maybe Michael and William’s interactions during FNAF 3 is what makes William realize Michael is against him?

I've always gotten the vibe that Micheal knew something was weird, I think the immortal and the restless was a direct analogy to how this played out. This is backed up by the logbook where Micheal mentions he relates to Clara. "Father, did you know something about those five kids?" "Why does Fredbear look at me through the window at home?" "Why do we have a underground bunker!?" So on so forth, and then the show ends with Micheal burning down the fnaf 3 location. Edit: I just realized this take would imply Micheal's method of dealing with his father was inspired by his favorite TV show. And it's very possible the first thing ennard did was watch Micheal show, or Micheal caught a rerun after ennard left. Personally I prefer the first one though.

Absolutely agree, one of the points in the series I can understand why some folks wanted to go back and question, but honestly more likely that Mike wasn't really helping peepaw afton

That's where I land as well, likely working with William to some extent prior to Sister Location but absolutely not by the time of Pizzeria Simulator. And probably not in the sense that he went around helping with the murder or anything like that, but might've harbored some suspicions yet helped with collecting pieces from the animatronics or whatever anyway (I don't have strong feelings on the exact role, just the general relationship). I've wondered whether he could be Candy Cadet's boy with the snake, but not too sure atm.

Mike as the FNaF3 protag... the Logbook seems to really hint he is, yet Afton in Pizzeria Simulator seems to really hint he isn't (you can't tell me he genuinely thought Michael wouldn't realize Springtrap and Scraptrap are the same, no way does he think Michael is that dumb...), so my stance is a solid shrug for now.

I've seen this a lot in fanfiction and it really makes sense to me: Michael as a potentially neglected or abused, grieving child, craving love from his father, thinks he'll get it by doing what William says, up until he's betrayed in sister location when he then goes for revenge

I personally believe that Mikes motivation is to atone for ehat happened with Evan. Something about the idea of making up for the sins of his past makes me happy

My take on Michael was always that he was similar to a ‘chosen one’ in all sorts of media, only he didn’t want to be it, or really know what he was doing. To me he always read as someone who just wanted to make up for his mistakes, and he did so by following his father, until he realized how horrible his father was, and then started trying to fix his fathers mistakes, by freeing the children

@markten2430

I think the main reason as to why he wanted to burn is that he was finally reunited with his family (even though they were animatronics) in pizzeria simulator and so decided to stay

Personally I think William was just using mike to get Lizzy back but I suppose that maybe backfired due to the fact that mike got scooped and used as a suit. Also I have a video idea. I don’t know if it’s exactly focusing on the lore but I’ve always thought about how circus baby was misused. It’s clear that she thought the player was William in SL and promptly, no hesitation or regret, kills him. BUT in FFPS, she suddenly is a daddy’s girl willing to do anything for him. You could argue that Elizabeth took over, but how?? There’s so much unnecessary off-screen change we didn’t need. Only to connect the books with the games. This is just something I think about often
