My Interpretation of Mr. Hippo's Speeches

[innate_butchery_aptitude]

Alright, I recently got a theory just after UCN came out, but I didn't want to type it out since it was too long, but I'm doing it now. If you don't want to read it all, there will be a TL;DR at the end. Also, this won't be JUST a theory about Mr. Hippo's Speeches, it will also be about some other elements in the game. Enjoy.

Besides the fact that a lot of people think that the game is about William Afton in hell/purgatory or whatever, I think the game may have an even deeper meaning as far as the franchise goes. I'll start with some lines from one of Mr. Hippo's Speeches.

At the beginning of the speech, Mr. Hippo says "It seems that you have met a horrible demise my friend. But uh, you know, these...these things happen and...and life...life goes on." I think he's talking about the game. The FNaF Franchise has ended, and although it may seem like a horrible tragedy right now, our lives will continue on as normal, and we will eventually forget about this game.

Now let's skip to the end of the speech, where Mr. Hippo says " Well, there's uh...there's really no good answer to that, but...perhaps I met a demise of my own at some point and...this is my afterlife or my dream or whatever it might mean, I...I honestly don't know. Or...maybe it doesn't mean anything at all. Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all..." He's talking about the game itself, as we've over-analyzed the game to the point that we have thousands of different theories, afterlives, purgatories, etc, but the game has no meaning in our everyday lives, IT'S JUST A GAME. "Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all."

In another one of his speeches, in the middle, this is what he says: "Not every story has significance. Sometimes a story is just a story. If you try and read into every little thing, you just might end up driving yourself crazy." He's taking a jab at theorists like MatPat, or Treesicle.

Some of the animatronics mechanics also point to UCN just being one big amalgam of all the games. Take Toy Freddy's mechanics for example, where you play a game within a game. Scott may be talking about how a simple Indie Horror Game exploded into a new Universe full of lore and theories. Also, how some of the animatronics mechanics are based on debunked theories or scrapped mechanics for future games.

TL;DR: I think UCN is just a big disclaimer for all the theories and time spent analyzing the games, pretty much saying that the story has no significance in our everyday lives.

it would be hillarious if Scott finds this post and says "you've just solved the UCN!"
