Wanted to catch you as soon as you post because I wanna say: when Matpat first retired I was nervous and didn’t really watch film theory, but BOY did I miss out. You’ve filled his shoes and put your own personality on it, and I think you’ve been doing amazing in your videos. Please keep up the good work! Let me clarify since I seem to have confused some people, I just meant in general. Also, I posted this comment as soon as the video was uploaded, so there’s that.
Not to mention that "bon" has a gunshot wound and Jack is confirmed to have owned a fire-arm... Also twf fandom considers this theory to be VERY weak
0:41 My favourite fact about The Walten Files is that it was confirmed that FNAF takes place in the same universe as TWF, but where nothing goes wrong. No child murders, no bites, just a normal run animatronic business.
11:34 Remember Guys, Canonically The Animatronics and Susie are like 6'5'' ft tall, So the only logical solution to who bon is Shaq
Walteh. Put your scares away Walteh. I don’t wanna get scared today Walteh.
When it comes to the spirit who calls themselves Bon, it might not be their literal name but rather a placeholder or an alias. Maybe just to torture its victims with the same name as the thing they died by.
"Your kids are dead... What is going to happen to _ME_ now? _I_ am scared of _MY_ consequences for _MY_ actions!"
I loved the part where the weird blue bunny thingy goes "its waltin' time.." then stuffs another person inside another suit

19:12 It’s not another abandoned house, it’s the same house from the Mysterious House, and the Waterman couple are the same killers from it as well
