I watched this with my boyfriend who knows nothing about FNAF. He said while he can see it's meant for the fans, he could follow along with what was going on and wasn't confused at any point regarding the story. He liked it and we're excited for the next one
@@The_goblin._. my dad knew more than my mom and gave it a 4/10 which is crazy cuz my mom knows almost nothing abt it other than it was popular years ago
I always felt like Steve Raglan turning out to be William Afton was never supposed to be a twist. It was more like a moment for fans to see just how easily Afton can assume a new identity and manipulate people into doing what he wants by knowing what he knows about them against them. Just like he does with the kids both when they were alive and dead.
I mean the fans already know who he was played by so... XD I think it was predictable for non fans bc there wasn't that many characters in the movie, but I saw many non fan get surprised too. idc anyway, I love how Matthew Lillard played William, I was screaming and crying and all that XD he is just how imagined him to be. ESPECIALLY Micheal, since he is my favorite fnaf character I was so excited for him and I was not disappointed. (it isn't how I imagined he would look like but other than that everything about him is 10/10)
@@waskycute You mean like how Phone Guy asks you to check the suits in the back rooms when he dies in FNAF1 Night 4 which is horrifyingly similar to Purple Guy’s Springlock death in the FNAF3 minigame?
About the "I made you" line from Afton, I think it was explicitly about him killing the children, because like in the first game we don't know he made the animatronics, they won't "reveal" it in the first movie
I do like how they settled on the idea of making the movie an alternate universe as opposed to making it directly related to the game. It makes it easier to understand for newcomers. And it'll get the fans speculating and theorize what could happen based on the games I think a sequel has been confirmed so I'm very excited for what's to come. My main question is if they're gonna take the same route as the games and make it a prequel or they'll simply continue the story. And if they make it a sequel will they make it about Mike? Jeremy? Or some other character
I see a lot of people saying that, but was anyone expecting it to be in the same continuity as the games? I feel like it was always obvious that it was set in a different timeline
the "i always come back" thing actually makes sense if you REALLY think about it. he knew that the animatronics came alive because they were possessed by the dead kids, so he knew he would still be somewhat alive. this would also explain why he has the animatronics kill anyone they see and stuff them in a suit, just like the funtimes in the game lore
The main theory currently about the vanessa situation is that they swapped the afton and henry families, since in the training video we see someone who's oddly familiar to mike's dad building the animatronics, so people assumed that's him and in the movie's canon this is how it works. People also think that william killed garrett first out of jealousy (just like charlie in game's canon) and that he's the puppet, but that's another can of worms, basically the movie took some game and book canons and mish-mashed them into one confusing mess, it's gonna be interesting to separate the game canon from book canon to movie canon from now on. poor Matt
I have my own weird theory about Garrett and Mike's family...most kids if kidnapped would scream, drop their toy... something...it looks to me like Garrett got voluntarily in the car because he knew that person. Also, we were never told how Mike's parents died...could be Mike's mom is Afton's ex-wife. He didn't just happen to be in the woods...he knew they were going camping and went there to get and kill Garrett for revenge and then kills Mike's mother too.
@@homespace1268 I wouldn't be surprised if Mike is revealed to actually be William's kid. But I don't think they'll go the same route for Garett. And as Mike didn't recognise William (nor did he recognise Mike until he read the last name), I'd prolly say Mike's mom left William and married Mr. Smith before Mike was 3 years old, which is usually the time most kids start creating lasting memories, and they never officially crossed paths again. This would mean William did prolly stalk his ex (which, who would be surprised tbh. It's William). But it does leave open some questions, like why did he kidnap and kill Garrett, if Mike's right there and would be his actual son? Or why didn't Garrett panic and why did he just go with an assumed stranger? Did William manage to form some bond with the kid through continuously stalking them?
@@flamestormthecat2833 I know right? If a kid was being kidnapped they would scream, yell for help, put up a fight and drop the toy...in the car he would have been screaming and crying...he wasn't...he seemed very calm. I think he knew the person and was lured and got in the car voluntarily. It's interesting that how the parents died is never mentioned and I think we will find out that there is something about that family that has some significance.
It almost feels like since Scott knew he couldn’t surprise reveal his masked killer a second time he decided to go with “they’re my father” and I can’t tell if that was for narrative film reasons or for lore reasons and it makes me wanna scream
Tbh I think the reason why Afton only has 1 kid is because the families are swapped. Like in the games, Afton had 3 kids and Henry had 1 ( or 2 if you count the books but idgaf ), But in the movie, Afton only has 1 kid and Micheal’s family has 3. So that kinda makes Afton only having 1 kid kinda make sense idk man
In the books, afton only ever had one kid too, being Elizabeth. Vanessa fits into her character pretty well, actually. It might just be a coincidence, but i also noticed that Vanessa’s actress is Elizabeth Lail. I dont think she’s supposed to be similar to charlie at all.
I can acknowledge that the movie wasn't actually very good, but gosh dang if I didn't absolutely love it. The animatronics, sets, easter eggs, and soundtrack were all amazing.
@@Robospy1It was a fine movie for what it tried to do, but as an actual movie that you compare to other good movies, it is not good. I enjoyed it however.
@@harpot678 Like I said, I think even comparing it to other movies, while it does have flaws, it's an overall well made film. It's not a masterpiece, but it's good.
10:55 Didn't the recording welcoming new guards also mention that the owner invented the animatronics? Also the "I made you" line was _definitely_ about him killing and stuffing them, he's talking to the spirits directly. 14:15 Because all three Afton children became the Shmidts. Mike is Mike, Abby is Elizabeth, and Garrett is CC.
Actually, my theory is that the schmidt kids are going to be revealed as aftons and then Vanessa will be revealed to be a kidnapped child that was brainwashed into helping afton. It just seems that she’s too similar to vanessa from Security breach.
6:04 Cause he now knows what being stuffed in the suit does. He knows he'll come back. If the children did so will he. 5:32 The animatronics are children- This was a way to express themselves. If you did watch the film. The doctor herself said it. Before conversations,drawings hold *tremendous power* for children
In the novels, the Stringtrap 'death' wasn't his first one, and although there's nothing to confirm this also happens in the movie, I think there's nothing to deny it
I actually completely disagree with the Ferret’s take on the Afton twist. I came in not knowing who was going to play afton, and I thought FOR SURE Mike was going to be Michael Afton, and that’s why the career counselor paused.
I loved watching this movie with my friends! After Max dies, we all yelled "was that the bite of 87?!?!". And the best part is when the pizza arrived, we learned that our friends doorbell is the same exact sound as the 6:00 winning sound! It threw us off so much!!!
Springbonnie was definitely the best part of the movie, I hope we get a figure of him and maybe Sparky. Fnaf2 is already in preproduction, it will be a sequel and it’s based on fnaf 2 so it’ll make more sense on why the toys are more advanced since they’ll be after the first ones
@@homeshall9299 are you referring to it being based on the second game or something else? Cuz Emma said that it’ll be a sequel and she also said that they’ll be based on the first 3 games with the first being based on FNAF1 so the second movie will be based on the second game but it’ll be a sequel so they might do the FNAF 1 animatronics with the withering of the withereds and the toys can be actually villains since they don’t get possessed until the end of the week
@@SHADOWEMPERORB127 sorry I meant that I thought the first movie was base on the 3rd game since purple guy die in the movie and in the 3rd game but I might have been mistaken
@@homeshall9299 ohh, basically they’re taking elements from across the franchise like William manipulating the kids, Foxy’s arcade chase and them dragging Springbonnie/ Afton away from the books and Vanessa from SB etc etc
Afton says he always comes back because he seems to know how possession works and knows he must wear the full suit to bond with the metal, and he knows he WILL be back as an undead furry.
I think the most vague evidence that will be brought back for a sequel is obviously spring trap, and shadow freddy and the puppet, they made it seem like shadow Freddy was super important to not be shown in the bts, they blurred him in the dawko bts stream, and the puppet is by far the most lore heavy thing that somehow hasn’t been included
I didn't really consider that the movie leaned on you implied knowledge a lot? I actually felt it was VERY New Fans friendly. It was MORE new fan friendly than any of the games at least.
My theory about the whole vanessa thing is that they were trying to reveal that vanessa was actually the fourth child of william afton, and thats why she was involved with the fnaf help wanted game, seeing as she was set to test it. It would make sense as she already had experience with this franchise and its stories, so they would have called her in to see if they got it all down correctly
@@Mega-Matowell considering two of the three of aftons kids died when they were still children, and there is no word of Michael having married or having children, I don't think afton grandchildren were ever in the picture, but that's still a good theory.
Here r my ideas to improve the movie & "review" of it: After first dream, Mike wakes up in the first night to see Bonnie gone, later Chica disappears too (He'd wake up in 2 or 3 A.M.) After one of dream things, u could see eyes of spirits turn black & black tears (Like in minigames & that bad movie jumpscare) for a short moment before Mike wakes up confused Well, combining night 3 & 4 would feel too rushed, imagine truly seeing these robots up close only to see them building forts later Also during night 4, Mike could tell Vanessa that animatronics smell bad, it's called - FORESHADOWING (for Night 5 plot twist) It'd be cool if in night 2 of fnaf movie, it'd be simular to classic fnaf 1 stuff, but all 4 animatronics would try to hunt down Mike, it'd be like in Onaf - Each hour is harder than it's previous one It'd make sense for it not to happen in night 5, as the animatronics knew what to expect & while Mike's sleeping, Foxy came from left & put him in that torture mechanism & Mike would need to get out It'd show animatronics as smart, like they don't fall for the same stuff & do things differently or smth Scratch that! Freddy is fast & has no hook as one hand, so he should be the one to make Mike to torture device in night 5 Funny, isn't it? All Freddy related bots are the ones which lead to death of 2 people Abby knew & almost killed her brother I wish fnaf movie was actually scary, i don't really understand how William uses drawings to control. That custody sub plot also ended kinda badly. Nobody acknowledges death of Aunt Jane, Mike doesn't even know that he was betrayed by her Now here's not actual review: I found "It's me" refference when during one scene in office where everything was glitching I don't mind William having little screentime. He's supposed to be mysterious villain anyway. Tbh blood not leaking from Spring bonnie suit is kinda realistic. I like how at the end, Matthew made him sound intentionally worse cuz of the pain William endures. His final speech was cheesy but i liked it. I feel like it'd be better if animatronics shoved Spring Bonnie mask on his face, instead of him doing so. But maybe it's connected to William sort of narcissism. William took his pain like a champ & didn't gave pleasure to his previous victims as seeing him suffer. Ngl, William had some sort of charm in this movie I like how animatronics dragged him. It looked cool He also mentioned some owner, which means that Henry might appear in sequel My take is a hot one: I hate game fnaf lore, Henry was introduced too late in the story & i prefer One Night at Flumpty's trilogy anyway (Flumpty is my fav fnaf related character) I hope in sequel we get the reason to why PG killed those kids, like it'd be explained by Henry, no worries, i don't want Henry to just be exposition dump. Ngl, i like pure evil villains In Puss in Boots 2, i prefer Jack Horner over Death I just think that killing kids is a huge deal & we should know why he did that. Also Vanessa being William's daughter makes me interested in their background Ok, William aside I dunno, it's weird to me that whe these filler villains entered pizzeria after Mike left, and it happend after 6 A.M. but Animatronics were still like hostile. But i guess it was some sort of change too. Which makes things even more dangerous (Or was that a thing that William made them do) Overall, i hate all fnaf games aside from 4, HW, SB DLC was mid & i dunno how to feel abt fnaf 1, i had good mood & expectations before watching it & everything was even better than i expected, refferences were great but the actual reasons why i like this movie were characters, how Mike's plot was connected to main story, i like how everything was answered, this movie made me smile a lot while i was watching (I rarely smile) so i hope i wasn't looking weird near some small girl who was sitting near me & saying some lore related stuff to her parents Wen i heard living tombstone song, i started to quietly sing it to myself Overall this movie was like 7/10 I like how devious Spring Bonnie looked with eyebrows in movie intro Major flaw of this movie that it isn't scary. My fav charactet is either Mike or William Tbh i like these presense William had by adding drawings of yellow rabbit. Imagine being a regular guy, seeing these drawings as smth adorable, like his smile looked weird but kids do mistakes while drawing right? But once u find out the twist, u see this sadistic monster, pure evil, sh1thead with his grin. Ngl, William kinda appears randomly, but i liked it... it was unexpected. I liked how his first action trying to mentally f2ck up Mike & just kill him there This movie made me feel tense for character, i felt worried for Abby cuz i thought that Chica would kill her (That suit in which Chica wanted to put her in was some sort of refference abt fnaf book character i never heard of) I felt tense of guy whom was killed by Bonnie, i just imagined how fcked he basically was... i was too when i played fnaf 1 many times as a kid (Couldn't pass night 2 cuz of rabbit) Didn't recognise Mat till i saw comments on internet. This movie had more villains then i expected (Minor villain, now i remember the word) & i don't mind red eyes I don't understand how William was controlling animatronics too. At least Mike was given reason to not quit his job after night 3 I like Cory's cameos Also i like how William's eyes looked before he put on mask for the final time Tbh i like the sounds William was making during springlock scene, like he was hiding his pain from victims cuz of his pride, he looked like he was abt to cry out of pain, but he put himself back together, said the speech & accepted death like a champ Which is one of the reasons why i like his speech I found these comments on internet which i agree with: "I love how he didn't scream or even panic. He knew that would only make the spring locks activate more, so he kinda just accepted his fate instead of screaming and shouting. I think that's one of my favourite details. Also Matthew lillard absolutely slaughtered this role" (I'm not sure if i agree with the last sentence, Matthew was good but not that good. Maybe i should check more scenes of William in movie. I guess that he works. Overall i like the Movie William) "If you think about it, the fact that it's bloodless is a bit more realistic. If you're stabbed, blood doesent pour out of you unless the thing that stabbed you is removed. While there will be some bleeding (as we saw) it'll be a lot less worse than we saw in the minigame. Also, the suit seems to be going one at a time with the springlocks, which is more horrifying that most off them all at once." I might feel like William is my fav character in movie Ngl, "I always come back" seemed kinda forced. But i like the way William said it & he basically wanted to always HAUNT his victims in any way possible Not sure if i said it or not, but i was shocked wen Springlock scene happend Tbh i was a happy person when i walked out of my movie theature Tbh fnaf movie has main flaws: It's hard to understand if u r not a fnaf fan It's not scary And there was no real explaination to how William controlled animatronics & changed their memories That really isn't major issue for me, but i wish there were more scenes where Mike was all alone with animatronics, that was another creep factor of fnaf 1. Like, Vanessa doesn't seem that busy as a cop Edit: here's a smart thing user flarestriker6870 wrote when he saw my ideas "Like that idea where the animatronics are shown as smart and not fall for the same things again. Also noticed that when Bonnie and Chica were blocking the vent to place The Cupcake in the vent while the thieves were inside the pizzeria, I'm guessing they learned that the Previous Nightguard tried to escape using the vent one time(Foxy still caught him though) and wanted to prevent it from happening again." Main & credits themes of movie are bangers
There is a theory that Henry is Mikes dad and the size of the Afton’s and Emily’s familys are swapped and one piece of evidence is that in the training video, when they show the endoskeleton the guy working on it is both the only actor not credited for and looks a lot like Mike’s dad and so people think Emily isn’t their last name and it’s Schmidt and Emily is actually Charlie’s middle name.
It would have been better if Afton said "i'll always come back" hinting that he knows how death and animatronics works. Saying "i always come back" sounds weird, it may be implying that he always come back to fix lose ends like Mike in this movie but its still feels out of place
14:08 had the same reaction and I understood that the books are implied as well but at least keep the core pieces (and I get that this, the game, and the book are like other universes but at least keep it close to FNAF 1 )
Honest to god I had no idea who was supposed to be playing Afton or if he was even going to be in the movie so when "Steve Raglan" paused on Mike's last name I thought it was because he like was infamous for being violent or had a criminal record.
Being in the theater, dressed as William Afton (Putple Guy) with my friend dressed as the Puppet, was honestly so fun! We went premiere night, so lots of FNAF fans there; the theater had an usher do a whole speech about not getting too loud, and "i know, were all excited to see this, finally;" the whole speech went out the window as soon as MatPat appeared on screen! From then on, you could hear the whole theater whispering, and actively discussing theories, as things appeared on screen; it was genuinely so fun! The scene where Max get bit in half, had a kid behind me whisper "was that the bite of '87," just loud enough for the whole row to errupt in laughter. Honestly, the most fun I've had in a theater in a very long time.
I have never played a FNAF game, and my knowledge of the lore come solely from your video. I saw this movie with my friend who knows way more than me, and both of us thought the movie was "Meh". My main problem was most of the movie was just talking. If they had just 1 or 2 more scenes of the robots actually coming alive and killing people (which is what I was mostly hoping to see) I would've enjoyed it a lot more. They only really do it once, and that scene was by far the best part of the movie.
I dont get why they didnt go with the canon micheal afton and his 3 siblings because how are they even gonna do sister location if elizabeth doesnt exist
Okay, here's my two cents about Aunt Jane. Maybe the money for fostering Abby is a factor for her to want to bring it to court, but honestly she seems the type of person who would have blamed Mike for the original kidnapping. Like, he couldn't keep a close enough eye on Garrett, how and why would anyone expect him to take care of another human being. And Jane likely also blames Mike for everything else that happened after that: if he hadn't let Garrett get taken, their mother wouldn't have died, and their father wouldn't have disappeared. Everyone has that one relative who's a narcissist.
Who could have thought that FNAF would work better when you are forced to streamline the plot? Like, the series as it stands has always planted it's lore in either absolutely obscure places, in books the people only interested in the game would never read or pushed to the next game because scott was confused how people didnt figure out his very carefully crafted lore from like 2 8-bit minigames and no sense of an actual timeline of events. So yeah. The lore of the different Freddy-verses (Books/Games) has been compelling, so of course it would work when you put it into a format that actually requires it to have plot.
Dawko made some good points about the picture Abby drew of Afton killing the kids. I watched the movie in a theater with my adult son...a week after it released. So I knew about MatPat's cameo. I still got a few tears in my eyes. And now I've got tears in my eyes again. Because of MatPat & Steph I started watching several UA-camrs, such as yourself, that have become favorites. Before the movie my son knew nothing about FNAF other than the trailers. He didn't think it would be very good because...video games...but he ended up enjoying the movie. I wanted to eat pizza after, but there weren't any good pizza places in the town we went to...so we ate at a burger place named...Freddy's.
It took a while, but it wasn't until the Vanessa Afton plot twist that I just accepted that the movie has its own lore and not trying to be more like the games and a little bit like the books also, admittedly, when it got to the part where Mike brought Abbey to the pizzeria, all I could think of was that minor complaint you had when the trailer came out
Bro. I love Scott Cawthon, I respect him A LOT for what he's done with the franchise and the fandom and everything, but like. I'm SO HAPPY someone like, surveilled him with the script for the movie. I cannot handle this lore anymore, I NEEDED someone else to give it a spin that actually made sense and they really did the best they could. To me, this was the perfect balance of an adaptation. Of course, it is kinda weak and a little disjointed, but DUDE. IT MAKES SENSE. That is more than I could EVER ASK of current FNAF lore, which has been entirely too confusing since FNAF 4.
Copy paste comment I have: Vanessa seem like a socially awkward woman that seeks fun and "normalcy" in her life due to trauma. Her character screams to me "Dead kids? What dead kids? Let's dance, Mike! Oh, let's build a fort, Mike!" She gets very upset when Mike pulls her to reality and confronts her. Her face says it all when she hears how awesome Mike's parents were.
They could’ve fixed the Afton creation issue by having him appear as the technician working on E.N.D.O. 01 and idk smiling at the camera. It’d show he was important at Freddy’s
I watched with some friends and there brothers. One of the brothers wasn't a Fnaf fan but he knew just enough and he said it was amazing he even knew some Easter eggs and it was fun pointing them out.
Has ANYONE considered the possibility that Vanessa in the movie wasn't Afton's biological child, but kidnapped and brainwashed (because he wanted a child) since we don't know if he ever even had a wife in the movie-verse.
6:03 it actually does make sense. Because this william afton is alot more smart the the og one and knows that he's soul will posses the spring bonnie suit. Thats why he puts on the mask after saying it.
There was little bit of this video that was talking about the movie’s timeline. And as far as I can tell, there are about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 different timeline continuities, depending on how you count. The games, the Silver Eyes Trilogy, and the Movie are our definitive timelines. The Fazbear Frights are a bit interesting though. Because the original FF was kinda its own thing but also connected to the SE novels. The Tales from the Pizzaplex, however seem to be much more connected to the games, specifically Security Beach, but also has some weird differences. Not a lot, mind you, but enough to wonder if they are the same continuity. So our final count is about 3 1/2 with all of the Fazbear Frights being connected to the games somehow, or 4 1/2 with one iteration of the Fazbear Frights being entirely disconnected.
NOTE: The Freddy kill mask WAS cannon, it was in a VHS tape, I didn’t realize until I watched the VHS, I watched the movie then hit my FNaF faze, so I didn’t know lore until after.
10:30 I was worried about this as well after watching it. I have a friend who is a huge movie buff but never heard of FNAF before my friends and I told him to watch the movie. Only thing he knew going into the movie was that it was a wildly successful video game and book franchise that had a movie held up for a while until now. He went to watch it and actually loved it overall but admitted there were a few spots that felt like it was rushed or felt like he missed something (lore understanding). He really wants a sequel though, wished the movie pushed that murder/horror bar just a smidge more and fixed those pacing issues. So I'm hoping that holds true for others without any knowledge of the lore.
6:00 After watching some people talk about the movie, it makes seance why he says that. It's because afton in the movie figured out how does the soul posession works with the robots by this point, so he puts on the mask so he can posess the spring bonie constum after he dies.
Why would the movie need to follow the lore that closely? I'm personally glad they kept it simple. I view the movie as a separate universe from the main FnaF lore. Please don't encourage them to complicate it, we get enough of that already. The "I'd be of no help" thing just meant she was scared of her abusive father.
My friend Emma (Spookyastronauts here on UA-cam) asked some of her friends to look over her script where she broke down the bare bones of FNAF lore. I have never played a FNAF game in my life, but I felt so confident since I've watched every single one of your videos. She did a great job, actually! I even gave her the link to your FNAF playlist, which she linked in her description, for people who wanted a much deeper dive into the lore. Lol. I'm so glad the movie wasn't terrible to you. A lot of people had a ton of negative things to say about it. Lol.
It’s time for Mat Pat’s Fun Fact! Steve Raglan is in fact an anagram for “Everlastang”, a little nod to the “I always come back” quote and an ‘a’ replacing the ‘I’ to troll people who would inevitably figure this out (like MatPat)
6:00 he knows that he can come back if he's in the suit and dies because the other animatronics have the dead kids souls so that's why he says i always come back
I still think the FNaF Movie should be a separate lore. And where FNaF 2 is actually a sequel. They did completely flip the family lore of Henry and William
Thank you for the video~ ^^ I was also a bit confused trying to understand the whole Vanessa thing, but I'm sure future movies can tackle that once they do
I admit I am not a FNAF fan but I do know a little bit about it thanks to watching UA-camrs play it, a movie shouldn't be made just for the fans because the purpose is to make new ones, so from a unbiased point of view, it was a silly movie with poor writing when it came to the horror aspect FNAF was generally known for, and character motivation. Vanessa was definitively the worst part for me.
Matthew Patrick seems like a nice person as a whole. I am glad he never gets into politics like so many UA-camrs that do things that have nothing to do with politics. It's like...if your channel isn't political, then DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. Don't react to anything political, don't be intentionally obvious what side you take by making side comments about current events, and don't make assumptions about other people based off things they say/do...as it's none of your business. So he seems like a good guy, he seems intentional in his way where he goes out of his way to be neutral by saying nothing at all, concerning the modern world.
I'm about to give write Scott a reasonable excuse for why vanny could be vannesa. While Vanessa was a kid, William implanted a chip VIA ingestion or just during a surgery, that turns Vanessa into his puppet for a bit. Thus making vanny. Maybe she got into an accident with the spring locks, but managed to get out in time to survive with minimal damages.
4:22 "Right now, we have 2 specially designed suits, that double as both animatronic and suit!" Phone guy, fnaf 3 second night. Is exactly what I thought of when you said that.
I do want to say I think the idea is that the afton siblings are still there, just currently not related to afton as abby would be elizabeth, mike is still mike, and garrett is crying child. It seems that maybe the children are swapped to where mike mentions that his dad is still alive to vanessa when they're at the river, so maybe henry will be the dad of the siblings instead of william in the next movie as they learn what's going on and vanessa might end up as a stand in for charlie/ the puppet
I can picture a sequel where the younger sister is grown up and is trying to free the spirit possessing the puppet who ends up being her brother then for a third movie Vanessa comes back in a plot that more closely follows a Security Breach storyline.
The fact it made like 250 million is crazy inb4 vannessa is actually a charlie bot and they pull out the whole disc illusion thing and she's actually been a baby animatronic this entire time lol
I won’t lie, it really feels like the FNAF movie was at a genuine disadvantage with the Afton reveal and therefore knew better than to even ATTEMPT to hide it from you
oh yea the reason he said "i always come back" is because when you put the animatronic mask on you are able to go in the animatronic suit even when you die, and he old willy appleton said i always come back and then he put the mask on

I always felt like Steve Raglan turning out to be William Afton was never supposed to be a twist. It was more like a moment for fans to see just how easily Afton can assume a new identity and manipulate people into doing what he wants by knowing what he knows about them against them. Just like he does with the kids both when they were alive and dead.
Besides, you have no choice but to treat the moment like a twist, because the characters are obviously not going to know.
Bro What- I Never Knew Steve Raglan Was William 😭 I Watched It Like 3-4 Times And Still Didn't See It.
I mean the fans already know who he was played by so... XD
I think it was predictable for non fans bc there wasn't that many characters in the movie, but I saw many non fan get surprised too. idc anyway, I love how Matthew Lillard played William, I was screaming and crying and all that XD he is just how imagined him to be. ESPECIALLY Micheal, since he is my favorite fnaf character I was so excited for him and I was not disappointed. (it isn't how I imagined he would look like but other than that everything about him is 10/10)
Wait…..Scott literally made Purple Guy the role of Phone Guy in the FNAF movie and NOBODY HAS NOTICED YET?!
I did! I was so shock whenI realized this.
wouldn’t make sense knowing that the phone guy literally dies but afton doesn’t
@@waskycute personal I think they combine the roles to make it easier for people not familiar with the lore.
@@waskycute You mean like how Phone Guy asks you to check the suits in the back rooms when he dies in FNAF1 Night 4 which is horrifyingly similar to Purple Guy’s Springlock death in the FNAF3 minigame?
About the "I made you" line from Afton, I think it was explicitly about him killing the children, because like in the first game we don't know he made the animatronics, they won't "reveal" it in the first movie
I was going to say, I wouldn't want people to know in the first movie in a trilogy.
it makes more sense to do that tbh
I thought maybe it was because he didn’t make them. What if Henry (or whoever takes his role in the movies) made them but Afton owned the place
@@HelloHaveA_NiceDay possible too, as the movie is not the exact same story
Wait in the game dint William Afton make the animatronics ?
I do like how they settled on the idea of making the movie an alternate universe as opposed to making it directly related to the game. It makes it easier to understand for newcomers. And it'll get the fans speculating and theorize what could happen based on the games
I think a sequel has been confirmed so I'm very excited for what's to come. My main question is if they're gonna take the same route as the games and make it a prequel or they'll simply continue the story. And if they make it a sequel will they make it about Mike? Jeremy? Or some other character
Probably mike abby and vanessa again. Its never explained what happened to garrett.
I see a lot of people saying that, but was anyone expecting it to be in the same continuity as the games? I feel like it was always obvious that it was set in a different timeline
The characters aren’t really what’s canon but most of the lore does seem to be canon and intertwined with the games
The sequel is actually confirmed due to the end credits when the robotic voice spelled out COME FIND ME and Puppet's music in the background
@@walter7787except that it did explain what happened to Garrett
the "i always come back" thing actually makes sense if you REALLY think about it. he knew that the animatronics came alive because they were possessed by the dead kids, so he knew he would still be somewhat alive. this would also explain why he has the animatronics kill anyone they see and stuff them in a suit, just like the funtimes in the game lore
The main theory currently about the vanessa situation is that they swapped the afton and henry families, since in the training video we see someone who's oddly familiar to mike's dad building the animatronics, so people assumed that's him and in the movie's canon this is how it works. People also think that william killed garrett first out of jealousy (just like charlie in game's canon) and that he's the puppet, but that's another can of worms, basically the movie took some game and book canons and mish-mashed them into one confusing mess, it's gonna be interesting to separate the game canon from book canon to movie canon from now on.
poor Matt
I have my own weird theory about Garrett and Mike's family...most kids if kidnapped would scream, drop their toy... something...it looks to me like Garrett got voluntarily in the car because he knew that person. Also, we were never told how Mike's parents died...could be Mike's mom is Afton's ex-wife. He didn't just happen to be in the woods...he knew they were going camping and went there to get and kill Garrett for revenge and then kills Mike's mother too.
could be, that'd be a very interesting turn in the story@@homespace1268
@@homespace1268 I wouldn't be surprised if Mike is revealed to actually be William's kid. But I don't think they'll go the same route for Garett. And as Mike didn't recognise William (nor did he recognise Mike until he read the last name), I'd prolly say Mike's mom left William and married Mr. Smith before Mike was 3 years old, which is usually the time most kids start creating lasting memories, and they never officially crossed paths again. This would mean William did prolly stalk his ex (which, who would be surprised tbh. It's William). But it does leave open some questions, like why did he kidnap and kill Garrett, if Mike's right there and would be his actual son? Or why didn't Garrett panic and why did he just go with an assumed stranger? Did William manage to form some bond with the kid through continuously stalking them?
@@flamestormthecat2833 I know right? If a kid was being kidnapped they would scream, yell for help, put up a fight and drop the toy...in the car he would have been screaming and crying...he wasn't...he seemed very calm. I think he knew the person and was lured and got in the car voluntarily. It's interesting that how the parents died is never mentioned and I think we will find out that there is something about that family that has some significance.
@@homespace1268or maybe Garret was oh I don’t know CHROAFORMED
It almost feels like since Scott knew he couldn’t surprise reveal his masked killer a second time he decided to go with “they’re my father” and I can’t tell if that was for narrative film reasons or for lore reasons and it makes me wanna scream
Tbh I think the reason why Afton only has 1 kid is because the families are swapped. Like in the games, Afton had 3 kids and Henry had 1 ( or 2 if you count the books but idgaf ), But in the movie, Afton only has 1 kid and Micheal’s family has 3. So that kinda makes Afton only having 1 kid kinda make sense idk man
In the books, afton only ever had one kid too, being Elizabeth. Vanessa fits into her character pretty well, actually. It might just be a coincidence, but i also noticed that Vanessa’s actress is Elizabeth Lail. I dont think she’s supposed to be similar to charlie at all.
3:28 my dad actually was surprised by the plot twist since he knew nothing about FNAF
I can acknowledge that the movie wasn't actually very good, but gosh dang if I didn't absolutely love it. The animatronics, sets, easter eggs, and soundtrack were all amazing.
I would tend to disagree. I actually think the movie is objectively pretty good, but is heightened even more for fans.
The movie was good! You don't have to say otherwise, it was good!
@@Robospy1It was a fine movie for what it tried to do, but as an actual movie that you compare to other good movies, it is not good. I enjoyed it however.

FNAF content: I ALWAYS COMES BACK
When matpat showed up on screen, my theater was so loud that I couldn’t even hear his dialogue
10:55 Didn't the recording welcoming new guards also mention that the owner invented the animatronics? Also the "I made you" line was _definitely_ about him killing and stuffing them, he's talking to the spirits directly.
14:15 Because all three Afton children became the Shmidts. Mike is Mike, Abby is Elizabeth, and Garrett is CC.
Actually, my theory is that the schmidt kids are going to be revealed as aftons and then Vanessa will be revealed to be a kidnapped child that was brainwashed into helping afton. It just seems that she’s too similar to vanessa from Security breach.
6:04
Cause he now knows what being stuffed in the suit does. He knows he'll come back. If the children did so will he.
5:32
The animatronics are children- This was a way to express themselves. If you did watch the film. The doctor herself said it. Before conversations,drawings hold *tremendous power* for children
And that Abby was communicating with the ghosts via drawings for years beforehand
@@ironboy3245 I almost forgot that too 😄😃. Thanks. And yeah that is another detail to pay attention too as well
My theory for this version of Afton saying "i always come back" is because he might have gotten removed from Freddy's before and came back
In the novels, the Stringtrap 'death' wasn't his first one, and although there's nothing to confirm this also happens in the movie, I think there's nothing to deny it
I actually completely disagree with the Ferret’s take on the Afton twist. I came in not knowing who was going to play afton, and I thought FOR SURE Mike was going to be Michael Afton, and that’s why the career counselor paused.
I loved watching this movie with my friends! After Max dies, we all yelled "was that the bite of 87?!?!". And the best part is when the pizza arrived, we learned that our friends doorbell is the same exact sound as the 6:00 winning sound! It threw us off so much!!!
I waited years for a movie that said "we are fnaf" still loved it.
Great timing. Just an hour or so after binging all your prior fnaf content
Well done!
Springbonnie was definitely the best part of the movie, I hope we get a figure of him and maybe Sparky. Fnaf2 is already in preproduction, it will be a sequel and it’s based on fnaf 2 so it’ll make more sense on why the toys are more advanced since they’ll be after the first ones
I felt that this is around the 3rd one if I ain’t wrong
@@homeshall9299 are you referring to it being based on the second game or something else? Cuz Emma said that it’ll be a sequel and she also said that they’ll be based on the first 3 games with the first being based on FNAF1 so the second movie will be based on the second game but it’ll be a sequel so they might do the FNAF 1 animatronics with the withering of the withereds and the toys can be actually villains since they don’t get possessed until the end of the week
@@SHADOWEMPERORB127 sorry I meant that I thought the first movie was base on the 3rd game since purple guy die in the movie and in the 3rd game but I might have been mistaken
@@homeshall9299 ohh, basically they’re taking elements from across the franchise like William manipulating the kids, Foxy’s arcade chase and them dragging Springbonnie/ Afton away from the books and Vanessa from SB etc etc
@@SHADOWEMPERORB127 that what notice after lol
You forgot to mention the best part of the movie, Bonnie falling over
Afton says he always comes back because he seems to know how possession works and knows he must wear the full suit to bond with the metal, and he knows he WILL be back as an undead furry.
I think the most vague evidence that will be brought back for a sequel is obviously spring trap, and shadow freddy and the puppet, they made it seem like shadow Freddy was super important to not be shown in the bts, they blurred him in the dawko bts stream, and the puppet is by far the most lore heavy thing that somehow hasn’t been included
9:05 I LITERALLY GOT A WATER COMMERCIAL AT THIS PART!
11:02 thats more of them being haunted by the kids he killed instead of actually making the animatronics
Nobody:
Footofafaret: piss
Everyone: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY GOOOD HE JUST CUSSED
HE CANT DO THAT H MUST PAY FOR THIS
I didn't really consider that the movie leaned on you implied knowledge a lot? I actually felt it was VERY New Fans friendly. It was MORE new fan friendly than any of the games at least.
1:46 sponsored segment ends
I feel the movie was made well enough you don't need to know a whole lot, it definitely helps for sure but not required
My theory about the whole vanessa thing is that they were trying to reveal that vanessa was actually the fourth child of william afton, and thats why she was involved with the fnaf help wanted game, seeing as she was set to test it. It would make sense as she already had experience with this franchise and its stories, so they would have called her in to see if they got it all down correctly
Maybe grandchild but is she was Afton's kid she would be at least 50/60 she looks 20
@@Mega-Matowell considering two of the three of aftons kids died when they were still children, and there is no word of Michael having married or having children, I don't think afton grandchildren were ever in the picture, but that's still a good theory.
Here r my ideas to improve the movie & "review" of it:
After first dream, Mike wakes up in the first night to see Bonnie gone, later Chica disappears too (He'd wake up in 2 or 3 A.M.)
After one of dream things, u could see eyes of spirits turn black & black tears (Like in minigames & that bad movie jumpscare) for a short moment before Mike wakes up confused
Well, combining night 3 & 4 would feel too rushed, imagine truly seeing these robots up close only to see them building forts later
Also during night 4, Mike could tell Vanessa that animatronics smell bad, it's called - FORESHADOWING (for Night 5 plot twist)
It'd be cool if in night 2 of fnaf movie, it'd be simular to classic fnaf 1 stuff, but all 4 animatronics would try to hunt down Mike, it'd be like in Onaf - Each hour is harder than it's previous one
It'd make sense for it not to happen in night 5, as the animatronics knew what to expect & while Mike's sleeping, Foxy came from left & put him in that torture mechanism & Mike would need to get out
It'd show animatronics as smart, like they don't fall for the same stuff & do things differently or smth
Scratch that!
Freddy is fast & has no hook as one hand, so he should be the one to make Mike to torture device in night 5
Funny, isn't it?
All Freddy related bots are the ones which lead to death of 2 people Abby knew & almost killed her brother
I wish fnaf movie was actually scary, i don't really understand how William uses drawings to control. That custody sub plot also ended kinda badly. Nobody acknowledges death of Aunt Jane, Mike doesn't even know that he was betrayed by her
Now here's not actual review:
I found "It's me" refference when during one scene in office where everything was glitching
I don't mind William having little screentime. He's supposed to be mysterious villain anyway. Tbh blood not leaking from Spring bonnie suit is kinda realistic. I like how at the end, Matthew made him sound intentionally worse cuz of the pain William endures. His final speech was cheesy but i liked it. I feel like it'd be better if animatronics shoved Spring Bonnie mask on his face, instead of him doing so. But maybe it's connected to William sort of narcissism. William took his pain like a champ & didn't gave pleasure to his previous victims as seeing him suffer. Ngl, William had some sort of charm in this movie
I like how animatronics dragged him. It looked cool
He also mentioned some owner, which means that Henry might appear in sequel
My take is a hot one: I hate game fnaf lore, Henry was introduced too late in the story & i prefer One Night at Flumpty's trilogy anyway (Flumpty is my fav fnaf related character)
I hope in sequel we get the reason to why PG killed those kids, like it'd be explained by Henry, no worries, i don't want Henry to just be exposition dump. Ngl, i like pure evil villains
In Puss in Boots 2, i prefer Jack Horner over Death
I just think that killing kids is a huge deal & we should know why he did that. Also Vanessa being William's daughter makes me interested in their background
Ok, William aside
I dunno, it's weird to me that whe these filler villains entered pizzeria after Mike left, and it happend after 6 A.M. but Animatronics were still like hostile. But i guess it was some sort of change too. Which makes things even more dangerous (Or was that a thing that William made them do)
Overall, i hate all fnaf games aside from 4, HW, SB DLC was mid & i dunno how to feel abt fnaf 1, i had good mood & expectations before watching it & everything was even better than i expected, refferences were great but the actual reasons why i like this movie were characters, how Mike's plot was connected to main story, i like how everything was answered, this movie made me smile a lot while i was watching (I rarely smile) so i hope i wasn't looking weird near some small girl who was sitting near me & saying some lore related stuff to her parents
Wen i heard living tombstone song, i started to quietly sing it to myself
Overall this movie was like 7/10
I like how devious Spring Bonnie looked with eyebrows in movie intro Major flaw of this movie that it isn't scary. My fav charactet is either Mike or William
Tbh i like these presense William had by adding drawings of yellow rabbit. Imagine being a regular guy, seeing these drawings as smth adorable, like his smile looked weird but kids do mistakes while drawing right?
But once u find out the twist, u see this sadistic monster, pure evil, sh1thead with his grin. Ngl, William kinda appears randomly, but i liked it... it was unexpected. I liked how his first action trying to mentally f2ck up Mike & just kill him there
This movie made me feel tense for character, i felt worried for Abby cuz i thought that Chica would kill her (That suit in which Chica wanted to put her in was some sort of refference abt fnaf book character i never heard of)
I felt tense of guy whom was killed by Bonnie, i just imagined how fcked he basically was... i was too when i played fnaf 1 many times as a kid (Couldn't pass night 2 cuz of rabbit)
Didn't recognise Mat till i saw comments on internet. This movie had more villains then i expected (Minor villain, now i remember the word) & i don't mind red eyes
I don't understand how William was controlling animatronics too. At least Mike was given reason to not quit his job after night 3
I like Cory's cameos
Also i like how William's eyes looked before he put on mask for the final time
Tbh i like the sounds William was making during springlock scene, like he was hiding his pain from victims cuz of his pride, he looked like he was abt to cry out of pain, but he put himself back together, said the speech & accepted death like a champ
Which is one of the reasons why i like his speech
I found these comments on internet which i agree with: "I love how he didn't scream or even panic. He knew that would only make the spring locks activate more, so he kinda just accepted his fate instead of screaming and shouting. I think that's one of my favourite details. Also Matthew lillard absolutely slaughtered this role"
(I'm not sure if i agree with the last sentence, Matthew was good but not that good. Maybe i should check more scenes of William in movie. I guess that he works. Overall i like the Movie William)
"If you think about it, the fact that it's bloodless is a bit more realistic. If you're stabbed, blood doesent pour out of you unless the thing that stabbed you is removed. While there will be some bleeding (as we saw) it'll be a lot less worse than we saw in the minigame. Also, the suit seems to be going one at a time with the springlocks, which is more horrifying that most off them all at once."
I might feel like William is my fav character in movie
Ngl, "I always come back" seemed kinda forced. But i like the way William said it & he basically wanted to always HAUNT his victims in any way possible
Not sure if i said it or not, but i was shocked wen Springlock scene happend
Tbh i was a happy person when i walked out of my movie theature
Tbh fnaf movie has main flaws:
It's hard to understand if u r not a fnaf fan
It's not scary
And there was no real explaination to how William controlled animatronics & changed their memories
That really isn't major issue for me, but i wish there were more scenes where Mike was all alone with animatronics, that was another creep factor of fnaf 1. Like, Vanessa doesn't seem that busy as a cop
Edit: here's a smart thing user flarestriker6870 wrote when he saw my ideas
"Like that idea where the animatronics are shown as smart and not fall for the same things again. Also noticed that when Bonnie and Chica were blocking the vent to place The Cupcake in the vent while the thieves were inside the pizzeria, I'm guessing they learned that the Previous Nightguard tried to escape using the vent one time(Foxy still caught him though) and wanted to prevent it from happening again."
Main & credits themes of movie are bangers
14:20 the silver eyes gave henry a son that has never been mentioned outside of the novel trilogy so changes to lore in alternate universes is not new
There is a theory that Henry is Mikes dad and the size of the Afton’s and Emily’s familys are swapped and one piece of evidence is that in the training video, when they show the endoskeleton the guy working on it is both the only actor not credited for and looks a lot like Mike’s dad and so people think Emily isn’t their last name and it’s Schmidt and Emily is actually Charlie’s middle name.
It would have been better if Afton said "i'll always come back" hinting that he knows how death and animatronics works.
Saying "i always come back" sounds weird, it may be implying that he always come back to fix lose ends like Mike in this movie but its still feels out of place
14:08 had the same reaction and I understood that the books are implied as well but at least keep the core pieces (and I get that this, the game, and the book are like other universes but at least keep it close to FNAF 1 )
Honest to god I had no idea who was supposed to be playing Afton or if he was even going to be in the movie so when "Steve Raglan" paused on Mike's last name I thought it was because he like was infamous for being violent or had a criminal record.
9:45 that wasnt the bite of 87 that was a full course meal
Being in the theater, dressed as William Afton (Putple Guy) with my friend dressed as the Puppet, was honestly so fun! We went premiere night, so lots of FNAF fans there; the theater had an usher do a whole speech about not getting too loud, and "i know, were all excited to see this, finally;" the whole speech went out the window as soon as MatPat appeared on screen! From then on, you could hear the whole theater whispering, and actively discussing theories, as things appeared on screen; it was genuinely so fun! The scene where Max get bit in half, had a kid behind me whisper "was that the bite of '87," just loud enough for the whole row to errupt in laughter. Honestly, the most fun I've had in a theater in a very long time.
I have never played a FNAF game, and my knowledge of the lore come solely from your video. I saw this movie with my friend who knows way more than me, and both of us thought the movie was "Meh". My main problem was most of the movie was just talking. If they had just 1 or 2 more scenes of the robots actually coming alive and killing people (which is what I was mostly hoping to see) I would've enjoyed it a lot more. They only really do it once, and that scene was by far the best part of the movie.
I dont get why they didnt go with the canon micheal afton and his 3 siblings because how are they even gonna do sister location if elizabeth doesnt exist
Okay, here's my two cents about Aunt Jane. Maybe the money for fostering Abby is a factor for her to want to bring it to court, but honestly she seems the type of person who would have blamed Mike for the original kidnapping. Like, he couldn't keep a close enough eye on Garrett, how and why would anyone expect him to take care of another human being. And Jane likely also blames Mike for everything else that happened after that: if he hadn't let Garrett get taken, their mother wouldn't have died, and their father wouldn't have disappeared.
Everyone has that one relative who's a narcissist.
Who could have thought that FNAF would work better when you are forced to streamline the plot?
Like, the series as it stands has always planted it's lore in either absolutely obscure places, in books the people only interested in the game would never read or pushed to the next game because scott was confused how people didnt figure out his very carefully crafted lore from like 2 8-bit minigames and no sense of an actual timeline of events.
So yeah. The lore of the different Freddy-verses (Books/Games) has been compelling, so of course it would work when you put it into a format that actually requires it to have plot.
Dawko made some good points about the picture Abby drew of Afton killing the kids.
I watched the movie in a theater with my adult son...a week after it released. So I knew about MatPat's cameo. I still got a few tears in my eyes. And now I've got tears in my eyes again. Because of MatPat & Steph I started watching several UA-camrs, such as yourself, that have become favorites.
Before the movie my son knew nothing about FNAF other than the trailers. He didn't think it would be very good because...video games...but he ended up enjoying the movie. I wanted to eat pizza after, but there weren't any good pizza places in the town we went to...so we ate at a burger place named...Freddy's.
It took a while, but it wasn't until the Vanessa Afton plot twist that I just accepted that the movie has its own lore and not trying to be more like the games and a little bit like the books
also, admittedly, when it got to the part where Mike brought Abbey to the pizzeria, all I could think of was that minor complaint you had when the trailer came out
Bro. I love Scott Cawthon, I respect him A LOT for what he's done with the franchise and the fandom and everything, but like. I'm SO HAPPY someone like, surveilled him with the script for the movie. I cannot handle this lore anymore, I NEEDED someone else to give it a spin that actually made sense and they really did the best they could. To me, this was the perfect balance of an adaptation. Of course, it is kinda weak and a little disjointed, but DUDE. IT MAKES SENSE. That is more than I could EVER ASK of current FNAF lore, which has been entirely too confusing since FNAF 4.
The movie is corny but the type of corny that we can all love and be satisfied with. ☺️
Speak for yourself
Copy paste comment I have:
Vanessa seem like a socially awkward woman that seeks fun and "normalcy" in her life due to trauma. Her character screams to me "Dead kids? What dead kids? Let's dance, Mike! Oh, let's build a fort, Mike!" She gets very upset when Mike pulls her to reality and confronts her. Her face says it all when she hears how awesome Mike's parents were.
The realization of the parents finding out what their kids been watching over the 8 years was facts😂😂😂
William Aftron didn't make the animatronics Henry did. I thought William made the Funtime animatronics.
Only took 9 years for phone guy to be william afton
They could’ve fixed the Afton creation issue by having him appear as the technician working on E.N.D.O. 01 and idk smiling at the camera. It’d show he was important at Freddy’s
I watched with some friends and there brothers. One of the brothers wasn't a Fnaf fan but he knew just enough and he said it was amazing he even knew some Easter eggs and it was fun pointing them out.
What about Vanessa's therapy logs from Security Breach? Those kind of implied that she was was the child of William, didn't they?
"Now I promise I'm not gonna make more fnaf videos for a while"
Help Wanted 2 trailer releases two days later
Has ANYONE considered the possibility that Vanessa in the movie wasn't Afton's biological child, but kidnapped and brainwashed (because he wanted a child) since we don't know if he ever even had a wife in the movie-verse.
6:03 it actually does make sense. Because this william afton is alot more smart the the og one and knows that he's soul will posses the spring bonnie suit. Thats why he puts on the mask after saying it.
Bro, as soon as I saw the dream theory book, I was like, "Is that a reference? Are you serious?!"
Wait was Garrett the name of the crying child this whole time?!😱🤯
🤯😱🤯😱😭😣🤯😱
They made real life springlocks for this movie.
9:44-9:57 That’s pretty gruesome for a movie rated PG-13.
no blood in the movie btw
I don’t know who this Raglan guy is, that’s retired paranormal investigator and food enthusiast Norville Rogers
The bit about parents realizing what they've been letting their kids watch for 8 years was awesome.
There was little bit of this video that was talking about the movie’s timeline. And as far as I can tell, there are about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 different timeline continuities, depending on how you count.
The games, the Silver Eyes Trilogy, and the Movie are our definitive timelines.
The Fazbear Frights are a bit interesting though. Because the original FF was kinda its own thing but also connected to the SE novels.
The Tales from the Pizzaplex, however seem to be much more connected to the games, specifically Security Beach, but also has some weird differences. Not a lot, mind you, but enough to wonder if they are the same continuity.
So our final count is about 3 1/2 with all of the Fazbear Frights being connected to the games somehow, or 4 1/2 with one iteration of the Fazbear Frights being entirely disconnected.
NOTE:
The Freddy kill mask WAS cannon, it was in a VHS tape, I didn’t realize until I watched the VHS, I watched the movie then hit my FNaF faze, so I didn’t know lore until after.
11:18 Henry built them, not him
10:30 I was worried about this as well after watching it. I have a friend who is a huge movie buff but never heard of FNAF before my friends and I told him to watch the movie. Only thing he knew going into the movie was that it was a wildly successful video game and book franchise that had a movie held up for a while until now.
He went to watch it and actually loved it overall but admitted there were a few spots that felt like it was rushed or felt like he missed something (lore understanding). He really wants a sequel though, wished the movie pushed that murder/horror bar just a smidge more and fixed those pacing issues.
So I'm hoping that holds true for others without any knowledge of the lore.
6:00 After watching some people talk about the movie, it makes seance why he says that. It's because afton in the movie figured out how does the soul posession works with the robots by this point, so he puts on the mask so he can posess the spring bonie constum after he dies.
Why would the movie need to follow the lore that closely? I'm personally glad they kept it simple. I view the movie as a separate universe from the main FnaF lore. Please don't encourage them to complicate it, we get enough of that already. The "I'd be of no help" thing just meant she was scared of her abusive father.
who ever said it was a separate universe
@@jskywalker58 , it's a personal opinion of mine, no fact. Evidence, Vanessa's not William's daughter in games, or even present for that era.
“Im not gonna make any fnaf videos for a while”
*Help wanted 2 releases*
“Goddamnit”
My friend Emma (Spookyastronauts here on UA-cam) asked some of her friends to look over her script where she broke down the bare bones of FNAF lore. I have never played a FNAF game in my life, but I felt so confident since I've watched every single one of your videos. She did a great job, actually! I even gave her the link to your FNAF playlist, which she linked in her description, for people who wanted a much deeper dive into the lore. Lol. I'm so glad the movie wasn't terrible to you. A lot of people had a ton of negative things to say about it. Lol.
It’s time for Mat Pat’s Fun Fact!
Steve Raglan is in fact an anagram for “Everlastang”, a little nod to the “I always come back” quote and an ‘a’ replacing the ‘I’ to troll people who would inevitably figure this out (like MatPat)
6:00 he knows that he can come back if he's in the suit and dies because the other animatronics have the dead kids souls so that's why he says i always come back
I’m actually watching it with my good friend right now at his house. I’ve already seen it but I think it’s pretty good
Fnaf movie continuity is different that much was obvious from Mike shimidt not being just an aleus for Micheal Afton and Vanessa being an Afton.
I still think the FNaF Movie should be a separate lore. And where FNaF 2 is actually a sequel. They did completely flip the family lore of Henry and William
Thank you for the video~ ^^ I was also a bit confused trying to understand the whole Vanessa thing, but I'm sure future movies can tackle that once they do
1:46 sporsorship
The whole Vanessa bit screams "sequel bait"
I frikken love this whole production.
I admit I am not a FNAF fan but I do know a little bit about it thanks to watching UA-camrs play it, a movie shouldn't be made just for the fans because the purpose is to make new ones, so from a unbiased point of view, it was a silly movie with poor writing when it came to the horror aspect FNAF was generally known for, and character motivation. Vanessa was definitively the worst part for me.
I wanna point something out here afton gets shot by a gun NO affect he gets tased no AFFECT
Cupcake.
It takes rain to legit kill him in the games.
Matthew Patrick seems like a nice person as a whole. I am glad he never gets into politics like so many UA-camrs that do things that have nothing to do with politics. It's like...if your channel isn't political, then DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. Don't react to anything political, don't be intentionally obvious what side you take by making side comments about current events, and don't make assumptions about other people based off things they say/do...as it's none of your business. So he seems like a good guy, he seems intentional in his way where he goes out of his way to be neutral by saying nothing at all, concerning the modern world.
11:08 Wasn’t Henry the one who actually made the bots while Afton was the business guy?
'do something happier like.... adventure time' as someone who recently binged adventure time, calling it happier is a bit of a stretch
I'm about to give write Scott a reasonable excuse for why vanny could be vannesa.
While Vanessa was a kid, William implanted a chip VIA ingestion or just during a surgery, that turns Vanessa into his puppet for a bit. Thus making vanny.
Maybe she got into an accident with the spring locks, but managed to get out in time to survive with minimal damages.
4:22 "Right now, we have 2 specially designed suits, that double as both animatronic and suit!" Phone guy, fnaf 3 second night. Is exactly what I thought of when you said that.
I do want to say I think the idea is that the afton siblings are still there, just currently not related to afton as abby would be elizabeth, mike is still mike, and garrett is crying child. It seems that maybe the children are swapped to where mike mentions that his dad is still alive to vanessa when they're at the river, so maybe henry will be the dad of the siblings instead of william in the next movie as they learn what's going on and vanessa might end up as a stand in for charlie/ the puppet
“Peeeeeacock peeeacock…Piss” foafy 2023
you uploaded this as i was watching it! i can now relate *HARDER*
Petition to Change the name of the channel from FootofaFerret to Footofafreddy
2:22 That front-facing stick figure FOAFY moment was funnier than it had any right to be.
I can picture a sequel where the younger sister is grown up and is trying to free the spirit possessing the puppet who ends up being her brother then for a third movie Vanessa comes back in a plot that more closely follows a Security Breach storyline.
"dream theory" as in 'THE' dream theory, as in the, 'everything is all fake and fnaf is all a dream' theory? that one? doesn't ring a bell.
The fact it made like 250 million is crazy
inb4 vannessa is actually a charlie bot and they pull out the whole disc illusion thing and she's actually been a baby animatronic this entire time lol
"I made you" in this movies context translates to "It's thanks to me you are able to control those robot bodies and can live on."
10:25 front facing FOAFY isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.
Front facing FOAFY
11:15 does it matter though also in the novels he didnt built freddy and the gang that was henry he built the funtimes only
I won’t lie, it really feels like the FNAF movie was at a genuine disadvantage with the Afton reveal and therefore knew better than to even ATTEMPT to hide it from you
oh yea the reason he said "i always come back" is because when you put the animatronic mask on you are able to go in the animatronic suit even when you die, and he old willy appleton said i always come back and then he put the mask on
