WHY DID BENDY KILL THE PROJECTIONS (sorry idk how to spell it)

[Typhus]

why???

[Metalman]

One of the unwritten rules of the ink creatures is all and foremost: Beware of the ink demon. Every ink creature seems to fear him and he goes after everyone. Alice sort of hinted that she is hiding from him so other ink creatures might as well when he's near. However since the projectionist was busy chasing you, he seems to not have seen Bendy. That's why he became a victim to him. Why did Bendy kill him? I assume he just goes for anyone he can get and the projectionist wasn't being careful as he was busy chasing you, so Bendy took adventage and caught him.

I can agree with most of that, but I think Ink Bendy has other plans for Henry. Notice the way he caressed the vent cover when he first popped up and the way he peered in at you before dragging Norman away. He *knows* you're hiding from him.

Ooh, that sounds interesting. I wonder if he let you be because he needs you for a greater goal or because he thought you wouldn't be worth it. Looking forward to learn more about ink Bendy's intentions. However, I think Bendy protecting Henry would be contradictive with him killing you ingame if he pops up randomly. But that might just be a gameplay choice. Looking forward to learn if he's our ally or foe.

You could make the argument that you don't actually know if Bendy means Henry harm or has EVER meant Henry harm throughout all the chapters. Sure, Bendy "kills" you if he catches you in Chapter 2 and 3, but the game has made it pretty clear that your deaths aren't canon to the story (For example, if you die in the Boris boss fight and then respawn, that won't change Alice screaming "WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!?" after you defeat Boris. Which implies that as far as canon is concerned, you never died). Which suggests that your "deaths" to Bendy is just a gameplay mechanic (Though you could also argue that the story would be over if Bendy actually managed to catch you, so of course Henry's deaths can't be canon to the story. Henry's a human. Not some kind of immortal being).

Assuming for arguments sake that Bendy catching you wouldn't actually result in death, this puts all of his actions in a more interesting light.

In Chapter 1, he suprises you after you turn on the Ink Machine, but makes no attempt to catch you even though we all know he could have easily broken through those boards.

In Chapter 2, we can't know what would happen if he catches us, but we DO know that he gives up chasing you after you get into the last room in Chapter 2 and blockade the door, even though, again, we all know he could have easily smashed the door down. We also know that he killed Sammy. But then, Sammy WAS trying to sacrifice you to Bendy.

In Chapter 3, he wanders around and chases you if he sees you, but we can't know what he'd do if he caught us. We do know that we pissed him off chopping the Bendy cutouts up, but this is understandable considering they've shown some kind of sentience in the past (Surprising you, pranking you in the Music Hall, etc.)

In Chapter 4, he surprises you the first time you see him but makes no attempt to catch you even though he makes it clear he knows you're there. The second time you see him, he flat out protects you from Norman before acknowledging that he DOES know you're trapped in there. Only to, again, leave without making any attempt to hurt or capture you.

Throughout all these encounters, you could argue that he doesn't actually mean you any harm. In Chapter 1, he could have been warning you to leave before things got worse. In Chapter 2, he could have been leading you away from the door he spawns in front of or even wanted to help you. In Chapter 3, he COULD be considered hostile, but you DID chop up sentient Bendy cutouts AND you're helping Alice (If Chapter 4 is anything to go by, the ending suggests Alice is a widly recognized "villan" of the studio. It can also be noted that he does not appear until AFTER you start helping Alice). In Chapter 4, he just plain helps you out (And makes no wandering appearences like he did in Chapter 3 now that you're not helping Alice). What does this mean? Only time can tell. And Chapter 5.

One last thing I find interesting to note is that the ONLY source of information you have telling you to "Beware the Ink Demon" is Alice. Who is a proven liar and clearly evil herself.

It's all really interesting to think about.

THANK YOU! This has been on my mind ever since yesterday! I've had these thoughts for a long time. What always made me wonder about Ink Bendy is the ending of 2. We now know he could've taken that door down or anything else in his way with extreme ease--so why didn't he? When the door closes in 2, you can hear him sigh, almost as if in disappointment before stomping away. It's possible Ink Bendy is just a cheeky bastard with his owns plans (while potentially being Joey) and wants Henry alive until the end. He makes it very clear he knows you're hiding, but makes no attempts to hurt you. I'm wondering if there is a good Bendy though. We've seen Alice and Boris now. But it could be possible the Ink Bendy we see has been protecting Henry as well. We don't know his true intentions yet.

[N0X]

My assumption is that Bendy was Just fighting for territory. Maybe Bendo and Normy had some conflict in the past years.

[Infinite]

Seem like Bendy is kinda the "Apex predator" and other creature fear him and avoid him like plague, if you see what i mean

I dont think he want to protect you, i really didn't like how the first jumpscare in chapter 4 was, the way he was touchin the vent while lookin at you lookin like : i know you're here, be careful about every step you make, if you mess up one, i will catch you and kill you with a painfull slowly death

Yeah i really didn't like how he looked at Henry at this scene, same for the fight between him and the Projectionist, he was like taunted you i think how he looked at the station with that growl, kinda like he laughed at you maybe. Pretty sure he taunted us and was like : you see what i did to the Projectionist ? Next time, it's you

Yeah i have doubt Bendy dont want to hurt us :'D i just think he love play with his prey, Henry bein his new "prey"

I agree with this. Also way to make an argument, well done👍🏻

Oh, I really like your well-detailed comment. A lot of your thoughts regarding that topic is similar to the ones of my own. There's so much more to the Ink Demon than we know. I too was incredibly surprised by the "Bendy vs Norman" scene. I think, it's the highlight of the whole Chapter 4! Can't wait to see what the Final Chapter will have in store for us~!

Alice Angel is defenitely a villain though. However, I have to admit that I really like her character. So far, she's the most well-developed character in the game, and I just love it how she compares herself to a spider by calling you "a new fly" in her "endless web". The only thing I don't like about her is her death. I think that if she had to die, she deserved a far more epic death scene. But who knows... at the picture after the credits, we can see that her body didn't melt down. Perhaps, her wound is not fatal, after all~? Yes, I know that she's been pierced through the heart. But remember collecting those inky hearts for her in Chapter 3? Perhaps, she has more than just one heart now~

[Waddle]

Chapter 5 might include Bendy opening the cabnit you entered to escape him, then an epic boss fight

Maybe, if he is Joey, he is trying to guide you to what he wanted to show you.
And he could have no understanding or control over him 'killing' you

[WriterWolf16]

Maybe There are two bendys, The Good one, who saved Henry from Norman, and the bad one, who is trying to kill Henry, Like there are two Alices

WOW all good thoughts

And Susie said Alice didn't like liars.
But then again, if Bendy is Mr Drew, he certainly can not be forgiven for his terrible past. Torturing workers, demonic rituals and much more. Remember, Alice may be a villain, but she was just another victim of Mr Drew.

That would make for a very interesting twist.
