Bendy and the Retcon Machine

Does anyone else think that Chapter 4 almost had a job of disproving every theory that made some sort of sense and was popular?

Oh, and I say naughty boy words (aka swearing) near the end.

Let's start with the "Alice is a fusion of Susie and Allison" theory. Might not have been heard by everyone, but still (and no, this isn't my theory. though i don't know who made it...). The basic idea is that the reason Alice's face is sort of messed up and the reason she seems to flip-flop between certain personalities is because she IS a mix of two personalities.

But in Chapter 4? ...No. She's not.

Apparently the evil Alice was ALL SUSIE. I mean, I know chronological order exists and we may not be finding the tapes in that order, but I don't see how she can go from happy, to sad, to slightly pyschotic and calm in a matter of a few tapes. She did call herself Susie, but still. The theory, to me, makes a lot of sense.

Ok, here's another actually well-known one. "Wally Franks is Boris."

It had a lot of evidence supporting it, but I won't really go into detail, because you can probably find a ton of videos about it. However, with the new chapter, it seems not.

It's Thomas for some reason! Remember? That character that had no actual reason to exist at all? Yeah, he's Boris now for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ REASON. Except maybe one, and that's to prove us and our theories wrong. But why, though? Thomas never really existed before, but now look. Chapter 1 and all the other chapters have pointless updates to make Thomas a better fit. And he IS the new fit for Boris, as it's like theMeatly decided to give us a big old "♥♥♥♥ you" in the form of Thomas Connor.

I mean, the old design for Boris without the mechanical arm COULD be Wally, so this point could fall apart, but still. I think I've actually wasted an hour on making this post...

Really, I don't want to hate this chapter. All the others were ok in my opinion. I mean, sure, they were going downhill, but they were still MANAGEABLE for me. This new one? Bendy Hell, a ton of other confusing mechanics, and the reasons explained in this post, along with tons of other reasons make this chapter an awful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

tl;dr Alice isn't a fusion of Susie and Allison, and Boris isn't Wally Franks right now.

Wally's the Boris you go with through chapter 3

Okay, so the Susie and Allison merged together theory was kinda outlandish to begin with. There was no evidence to help support that. Susie's actions where that of someone who became very obsessed with a character and when it was taken away from her, she snapped. Chapter Four showed us that Joey had other plans in mind which blends pretty well with what we already knew from Chapter Three. As for the reason Alice talked to Susie is because Susie saw herself, her voice, as Alice Angel. She probably created a split in her personality when she physically became Alice Angel, regardless how messed up she was.

Now, Wally Franks being Boris is just pure speculation. Sure, the Boris you're with running around with seems to have some things in common with Wally, but that's where the line ends. The Boris you run around with in Chapter Three is one of dozens of Boris's. There is no telling the difference between them, mostly cause they're all dead. But Tom showing up was pretty out of no where. Sure they added a tape or two of him, but still, he kinda just showed up.

They have a plan for all of this anyway, so if it seems like they're disproving people's theories, just take it in stride. They're still building up their story.

I will agree with you there, but still. I don't see how Susie can immediately go from one extreme (maybe not extreme) to the next, so that's why the theory sort of made sense to me.

Again, you're right, but still. I'm mad that he wasn't, because it seemed like theMeatly gave us a bunch of stuff that accidentally (for him, anyways) pointed to Wally being Boris, but then he just goes "nope" and shoves Thomas Connor in so he can just prove the theory wrong. I mean, I'm not really a theorist sort of person, but that just pissed me off.

I get they're building the story, but in my perspective, Meat took these theories that have been around for some months (I think the Boris theory might've been around for a year.) and decided to just disprove them.

I'm sorry this reply was probably a mess, but still. It just kind of annoyed me.

I kinda don't want Wally to be Boris, to be honest. I really just want Wally to have actually gotten out of there like he always threatened to do. I always loved that cliche "I'm outta here" line, especially from the voice actor of Wally. So it would be nice if he actually made it out.

As for Susie seemingly switching to one extreme in such a short span, there's several possible explanations. The first, and likely one, being a time gap between the tapes. Months to years could have happened between each tape. Listen to Henry's tape, he sounds exactly the same even though it's been at least thirty years since he's recorded it. Or, she could suffer from manic depression, causing changes from depression to mania in sheer moments or hours.
