What's your opinion on Monty?
Oh I've been waiting for an ask like this to come across my inbox after how popular my Bonnie theories have been. (full theory and spoilers under the cut)
Short answer: I think he's neat!
Long answer: I think Montgomery Gator is one of, if not the, most tragic character in the entire Glamrock cast. And his tragedy, while of course upsetting to see, is also incredibly endearing from a narrative standpoint.
What does that mean? Well, let me explain.
Monty was not made to be part of the band. That much we know in the canon lore. He was his own animatronic, with his own attraction and his own thing. Whether or not he was there from the very beginning when the Pizzaplex was built, or maybe they added him later to bring in more diversity and subvert the burden on the main band, I don't think we'll ever know. (since every main band member has their own attraction, which probably subtracts from their available time to perform main shows throughout the day)
The only bits and pieces we get of Monty's "life" before his joining the band is narrated through the Gator Golf attraction.
Monty's story starts with him as a One Man Jug Band, playing by himself in his swamp.
Tumblr media
Now it's already pretty apparent that the Monty we see here is way more docile and doe-eyed than the one we encounter in Security Breach, but maybe that's the point.
We all know the stories of humble beginnings, of rags to riches. To me, Monty was one of those stories. A little guy who ended up catching a big break down the line.
Now to get this out of the way, I don't believe Monty shattered Bonnie or the theory that Monty hated Bonnie (I went into detail here if you want the full explanation). We actually can easily debunk that theory in a few different ways, but the main thing is everything we see about Monty implies he actually admired Bonnie.
In his ride you see how he looks at Bonnie, His Showtime outfit incorporates yellow stars (like Bonnie), and he even still uses Bonnie's bass.
Now if you hate someone, if you hate them enough to kill them and take their place because you felt you deserved their fame, would you emulate that person? Would you use and wear their items, thereby constantly reminding yourself of someone you hate so much? Why would you go through the trouble of getting rid of them, of wiping them from everyone's memory, just to keep things that will always tie you to them? That doesn't make much sense to me.
You could argue that the items are trophies of his 'kill', but wouldn't you keep trophies or things of the like somewhere no one could see them? Why flaunt them and again, bring attention to this person that you hate so very much?
I think it's the exact opposite. Monty admired Bonnie, the depths of which we probably won't ever know the extent of, and when Bonnie disappeared, Monty took his place but never forgot the person who got him there. He wears Bonnie's glasses (which we never see Bonnie wear aside from in his neon portrait, which may imply that he might have given the shades to Monty directly at some time before he was shattered) and he uses Bonnie's bass, which was ALSO given to him according to the Gator Golf ride
Tumblr media
I've seen people say that this scene is actually showing that Bonnie was just setting his bass aside after a show and Monty stole it, thereby using it for his own gain and I. . .don't see how people can infer that from the image? It looks like Bonnie is literally holding it out to Monty, who is on one knee and accepting it with respect and a cheerful expression on his face. Besides, you need some MASSIVE balls to just. . .steal a band's instrument after the show and just get away with it? Especially from what we see in game, there'd be no feasible way Monty could do that without the audience or technicians being like "What the fuck are you doing"
So yeah no, this looks like a mutual passing of the torch.
Anyways, Monty uses the shades and bass as a nod to Bonnie, he was a sweetheart with a baby face who got thrown into fame to replace his idol. I think, in some regards, Monty might've felt conflicted. Like, here he is in his dream job, but at the cost of someone he cared about.
You know who Monty DID hate though? Freddy. We can infer from plenty of sources and in game material that Monty HATED Freddy, and the reasoning for that could be literally anything, but it's not odd for a bandmate to dislike their leader/member because they're more popular (you see it a lot in IRL bands too, the favoritism and jealousy)
It's also easy to see that fame changed Monty, as it does for plenty of people. Having so many eyes on you, feeling the euphoria of all the love and attention day in and day out, it gets to your head. It changes who you are, muddles your humility. And we can see that Monty acts in the stereotypical Rocker way, conceited, destroys his greenroom and other things after shows, etc. It's an all too common trope and its sad to see it happen to Monty, though a lot of his rage could also be compounded by Glitchtrap/Vanny/Mimic being annoying (Notably, you never hear of Monty destroying his shades or his bass. Perhaps there are some things that he's oddly protective of)
And then in the main Security Breach, you only meet Monty at his worst. Angry, Corrupted, feral. You spend your time running from him (since Bonnie's shades protect him from most of Gregory's gimmicks), you hear from second-hand conjecture that he was probably the one who shattered Bonnie (which probably weighs on him too, the children asking where Bonnie is, and the technicians maybe side-eyeing him thinking that he's just a meathead who destroyed Bonnie to take his place) and each time you see him, he just gets more and more split from that sweetheart who was happily playing in his swamp.
Not to mention how he "dies"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Monty comes for Cassie, ruined beyond salvation, his mind still gone from all of the torment he endured being controlled and shattered over and over. To save herself, Cassie uses the Faz-wrench to activate the power and escape, only for the electric currents to turn the water into a death trap.
The thing that decommissions Monty, that finally puts him out of his misery, is Bonnie. That's Bonnie's neon portrait (a bit damaged from the dilapidated building) and it is the very thing that electrifies the water, destroying Monty's hardware. Whether or not its karma for Monty shattering Bonnie, or some sort of heartfelt prose that the thing that finally allows Monty to rest is the one person he cared about most, who's to say? You could argue it both ways, but isn't it just a tad more comforting to think that even in death, Bonnie was always looking out for his understudy?
Monty's story and character progression is a trope of Falling from Grace, of Icarus flying too close to the Sun and plummeting to the unforgiving earth. The more I learn about him, the more I feel bad for him. I think he deserved better. Roxanne for her redemption in Ruin, but Monty is left open-ended. A monster and murderer to some, a washed-up rocker to others.
But I think Montgomery was more than that. I think he had the capacity for gentleness and love, but he was in a position where the world was against him. His older and more experienced bandmates always destined to be loved more than him. He was basically an entry level teenager around mastery level adults. He might've lost his mind back then to the pressure and the negativity, resorting to violence for attention. No one was there for him, and Bonnie, the only person who probably would've been there for him and understood him better than most, disappeared without a trace, leaving him all alone in a world that would never fully accept him.
Yeah, I like Monty a lot.

The real question is how were their friends dealing with these shenanigans of "winning over Monty"? I can definetely see them getting dragged to do serenades.

I dont think the others are too fond of being a part of their goofy shenanigans to win over Monty
They're running out of options :>

I’m Montgomery Gator and I hate that I’m not allowed to despise Gregory. Like, the kid ripped off my legs, hit my bestie with a car, crushed my other friend in a trash compactor, but played favorites with Freddy
But no “he’s just a kid” a kid can still cause damage! Gregory literally committed mass robot geocode but it was okay because he was nerodivergent and a minor?
Atleast for Cassy, she didn’t purposely go out of her way to hurt any of us. Most of the time it was either an accident or the only option to get away. I honestly couldn’t care less that she electrocuted me to death because in all honesty I was being weird
But I was completely fine when GREGORY-
youre allowed to hate gregory for sure but i think calling what he did mass genocide is a bit much. calm down. freddy was the only one that wasn't actively trying to kill him so i get it. that being said yeah it still hurts to see our friends getting destroyed like that. i wish there was another way for him to clear the virus and escape safely without doing... all that.
mod joker opinion if i was gregory and u were acting like this i wouldve attacked you also peace and love. be normal and dont call stuff like this mass genocide who said you werent allowed to like him lol

Fastest skater race now requires skating between gators instead of cones.
Goalies must perform save streak with gator in net behind them.
Accuracy/Shooting Stars requires shooting chicken carcasses to gators.
All Breakaway challenges must include gators.
Gator in each trapezoid.

I'm still not over Monty wistfully contemplating the idea of there being two Earths: the real Earth and a Mimic Earth (who would probably step on them, after which they would thank her.)
So, I had to get a quick little sketch out.

Ya know havin big ol arch immediately at least respect Hector for his animal loving ways could maybe help him out quite a bit, yeah? I mean of course Hector doesn’t really know if Arch can be trusted right away but for the most part in Arch’s head if the animals like you he likes you soo like right off the bat Hector has got himself a big scary lookin ally? I don’t know if it would actually help Hector but it’s better than nothing and it gives them lots of time to plan gatorclaw/mirelurk rescue missions
Oo yea I think that would definitely help. Like you said, it would take a while for Hector to know if Archer can be trusted, but Arch already being in his corner gives him some protection from more immediate criticisms from the raiders.
It's possible Hector might be able to warm up to Archer fairly quickly, for similar animal-related reasons. If he's knowledgeable and compassionate with animals, how bad can he really be? And Arch approaching him about the gatorclaw/mirelurk issues, that only the OB can hope to solve in the Correct way, may just be a very large incentive to see this thing through. Then Gage just has to make sure they deal with the other parks first and boom Hector's in it for the long haul
