#they're different than how we saw Chosen and Dark interacting with sites in Flashback and Showdown

I was about to suggest that Orange lining up with Victim's silhouette in AvYT was what brought the video-Vic to self-awareness so he could escape, but if that were the case I think he'd've paid more attention to Orange in The Box.

"How victim survived?" A theory

Okay, okay, okay. I've seen a variety of theories about how Vic managed to survive and ended up in the Outernet City, but i can't say i fully agree with them.

So i have decided to propose my own theory that might as well serve as a reason as to why he's gray!

In short: Victim we see in AvA6 is NOT the same victim we see in AvA1.

Now bare with me.

So we all know that Alan's channel exists in-universe. It was in AvYT and it also was in the Showdown of AvA5, and King, in AvM, also learned about creative block from the og AvM. Besides, in AvYT and AvA5 we were shown that videos can in fact interact with sticks.

With that in mind...

What if Victim escaped from the video on Alan's channel, and not the Flash?

And because video quality suffered this much over the years he became more gray-ish as opposed to his original black.

Besides, we now also have mercenaries to use as proof of this theory, because Primal looks like he escaped from some photo or reproduction of cave paintings, while Ballista came specifically from a video on YT and we even know which one. So, just theoretically speaking, it is more than possible for Victim we see in AvA6 to be his copy from the video Alan uploaded to his channel.
