It finally happened.
The Bendy and the Ink Machine Chapter 4 trailer came out!
Are you ready?
To peel apart the foreshadowings given to us by this trailer?
TheMeatly, gotta hand it to you.
I am emotionally invested in the month of April let me just say.
Chapter 3 left us with Alice Angel...you may recall Ryan’s video speculating that Alice
was Susie turned into ink because she wanted to be Alice Angel so badly.
Joey Drew, the studios owner originally hired Susie for the voice of Alice, they even had
a flirty exchange over lunch where Joey charmed Susie but then later replaced Susie with a
different girl named Alison.
So Ryan’s ramblings went.
But was it all true?
And what more details can we find from this cinematic trailer.
And of course let’s not forget about the teaser images and that November teaser.
What is theMeatly trying to hint at??!
Well for starters Alice Angel is clearly gonna be a huge part of the story for the foreseeable
future.
The trailer features her and shows the dramatic text: End.
The.
Angel.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say the main objective of Chapter 4 is gonna be to
go up against Alice Angel.
She’s gunning for the running of this place.
That’s a dumb way of saying she wants to run this place..Joey Drew studios.
Is currently owned by Joey Drew of course, but the guy seems to have intertwined his
being with the inky, globy demon we call Bendy.
Thanks to this trailer and helpful comments from you guys we’ve confirmed some of our
thoughts on Bendy and...had to rewrite others.
So what is it that goes on between these splotchy, puddly, run-down, creepy, graffitied...walls?
To answer that, sit back, relax and wait for Bendy to seep into your thoughts and nightmares.
Also let’s not forget about Alice.
AHHH.
So yeah, Alice is gonna be the featured villain against us, Henry in this here next chapter.
That much is for sure.
And right at the beginning of the trailer, we hear Alice asking us..“Are you missing
something?”
While it shows us the studio’s elevator destroyed.
Alice broke the elevator!
Recall that Chapter 3 ended with us careening downwards in the elevator only to have Boris
snatched from us in the final moments.
Boris!
No!
Henry even says, “Hang in there Boris, I’m coming.”
So already we know we’re continuing directly after Chapter 3 and we’re wasting no time
saving Boris from the clutches of Alice.
An important goal while we also try to end the angel.
We also see a member of the butcher gang in this scene and all three members of the butcher
gang walking towards some fire.
Clearly these guys are still after us...likely serving Bendy (not Alice).
Remember in Chapter 3 we saw Alice torturing the Butcher gang member who jumpscared us
from behind the poster.
Whether she was harvesting his organs or torturing him is irrelevant...she has no love for these
guys and that means they don’t serve her.
And considering they try to kill us, that means they probably serve Bendy.
Whereas Boris is on our side.
And everybody loves Boris!
Especially Alice who prints him in large quantities to farm his organs.
Alright I would call that using Boris not so much love.
She’s lovely.
Quite a gal even!
Next we get a brief clip of Henry climbing through a ventilation shaft with Bendy peering
at us from the other side.
Clearly not just Alice is watching us in this next Chapter.
And look at this!
We’ll be making our way through a creepy amusement park inside of the studio.
Did Bendy build this or did Alice?
Keep in mind in that in this shot AND in the shot right before it we see a butchered butcher
gang member.
Not to mention in the previous shot we see this cart thing on the shelf...the same cart
we see in the very next roller-coaster clip.
See these two next to each other leads me to believe this guy was interfering with Alice’s
elaborate amusement park plans and so she felt the urge to butcher him.
And this other guy.
THEREFORE!
This is Alice’s park.
With eyes watching and all!
Also in this scene with Alice walking down the hallway, we see all kind of machines moving
behind her, likely the behind-the-scenes workings of her amusement park.
Man I can’t wait for this.
And besides the end the angel text, the“Hang in there I’m coming for you Boris” quote
I already mentioned and the April release date that’s about all I could grab from
the trailer.
Onto the teaser images.
First we have this one which leads me to believe Sammy’s bendy worshipping cult might an
appearance.
This is huge because it could really expand on the plot from chapter 1 with Sammy bowing
down to his Bendy overload...only to have something terrible happened to him.
And the next image we have is this!
Now we can see, “No angels...he will set us free.”
Now there’s little doubt in my mind that the Sammy/Bendy cult will make an appearance
and will fight Alice.
Recall an earlier time we saw this text was right before we heard a Sammy recording.
Did Sammy write this?
And this?
Also!
This flashlight is the one from the clip in the vent with bendy looking at us from the
other side.
So maybe Bendy wrote it!
Then in the other one we have “see you soon” written by Alice...with a decapitated boris
right there in the shot.
This poor guy really can’t catch a break.
And that’s about it for the images.
Onto the even teasery teaser trailer from November.
There’s not too much here.
Besides this juicy shot.
We see Alice standing and looking proudly out over a strange, misty room with cages
hanging from the ceiling.
Are these normally filled with ink creatures whose organs are to be harvested?
I ask this because right friggin there is a giant hand!
Recall in Ryan’s last video he speculated that Alice would be building an army.
This is certainly possible.
But we’ve heard by Alice’s own admission that she’s collecting inky insides to make
herself more perfect.
Perhaps she’s not building an army or beautifying herself with all those ink hearts so much
as building a giant unstoppable monster!
A giant, “beautiful” version of herself.
Bendy already has his minions so maybe Alice is bringing her big guns.
Wouldn’t that be insane?
And...entirely possible.
Just sayin.
That’s what I’ve got for all the teaser material.
Now let’s get into what we may have missed last time.
I’m talking important details her people!
Like...who is Alice Angel really?
Last time we speculated she’s Susie's personality mixed in with the collective, swirling, miserable
thoughts of whole studio.
Not to mention Susie seems to be overcoming to psychological trauma that involved getting
wined and dined then replaced by some biatch named Allison!
“I’m Alice Angel.”
However.
Five months ago, an insightful comment by Madison Seyfried made me update my thinking
about who Alice Angel is exactly.
In Madison’s own words:
“I'd like to add that Alice Angel might not be just Susie and the other voices...one
of those voices might just include Allison as well.
Notice how her voice fluctuates between evil Susie and the voice of a completely different
woman.
It's the same voice that tells us "She made me do it."
It's a very likely possibility that Allison is the other woman--they both lent their voices
to the character after all--but with Susie being the stronger of the two, she's the one
calling the shots and poor Allison is just along for the ride.”
The comment goes on but we’ll focus on this first part for the sake of time.
Regardless, well said Madison!
May I just say your guys’ comments on our recent Bendy videos have been beyond helpful.
This really is the magic of the internet.
Me being able to interact with you!
And vice versa!
The Treesicle hivemind is the best way to concoct ideas that connect the dots!
The inky dots!
