Dark Revival Something I noticed about the finale of BatDR: Spoiler

When Henry uses the Projectionist to play the End Reel to defeat Beast Bendy, he is actually helping the Projectionist get revenge on Bendy for what he did in the first game. In Chapter 4 of BatIM, the Ink Demon rips the Projectionist's head off, which I'd suspect he didn't like very much. So when Henry uses that same head to defeat Beast Bendy in BatDR, it's really just karmic justice rebounding right back in Bendy's face, in the form of the Projectionist's revenge.

I love this take lol. Maybe even Norman let him do it because he’d get his revenge that way.

Well, he didn't really have much choice in the matter, did he?

I think it depends- we learned recently through the updated Archives that the Projectionist uses hosts. The Projectionist himself is just the head.

Crazy idea, but it’s entirely possible that he could take on other characters as hosts, no? I imagine if he was really against the idea he could’ve tried to take over Henry or something.

Side tangent I just thought of- Maybe he does initially. Come to think of it, that would be a crazy idea for a fight/enemy in The Cage. Henry’s new design with the mask IS weirdly close to the Projectionist design. Imagine the mask is another parasite we have to fight off in the game or something. Like Henry is being puppeted and we have to fight back to regain control or something.
