Fun story: Me, my mom, my sister and some of her friends were going to the movies to go see some recent movies that came out. But the kicker is that everyone, including my mom, went to go see the live action Little Mermaid. While I got to see an actually good movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse. Edit: 1:41:07 is a hilarious edit. I need to find that Woody laugh one day
Yeah, I don’t get why people on the internet say Trevor is just nitpicking with his reviews because he actually brings up really good points against the movies he watches. (I.e, Disney Live Action remakes.)
For a Disney Princess movie, Eric was a very likeable and relatable character. And though Triton was strict and bigoted he still felt bad about what he had to do to Ariel's grotto. The remake did both characters so dirty. Scuttlebutt. (Also it may just be a coincidence, but Peppino from Pizza Tower looks exactly like Louis. Exaggerated facial expressions and all)
I was half expecting Eric to yell this something specific at Ursula for almost killing Ariel. YOU CANT ESCAPE ME, ILL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!
Waffles coming back to the violin player at the end got the biggest laugh out of me because I’d totally forgotten that was a thing more than an hour ago into the video. I love for GM’s ability to go so in depth and explain his feelings toward the films so well. It’s no wonder you put together such great long form analysis videos.
@@judebaun9993Ariel giving up her voice to Ursula was literally the whole point though ? It's impossible to cut or alter that part in the movie or story, it's an integral plot point..
@@judebaun9993 why do you exactly hate Ariel giving up her voice? Especially when it’s made clear that she’d just be miserable staying in the ocean for the rest of her life as Sebastian points out?
Fun fact, the prince in the animated movie is voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes. Aka, the spiderman from the 90s show who yells Shocker really loudly
Or are willfully ignorant of the fact that she literally leaned in for a kiss and he initially turned * her * down. And that's ignoring the fact that, you know, her ENTIRE goal at that point is to get him to kiss her lmao
All of Ariel's sisters being of different races is made weird when you take into consideration that they explain why Eric and his mom are different. For a moment I thought they were setting up that Eric is a merman. They try to explain it by saying that each of the sisters represents a different sea. In the movie, we have Spain and the Caribs but in the novel, there are made-up seas. Just make all merpeople or at least Ariel's family Black. Also, Triton mentions how humans killed Ariel's mom. Dude, you apparently have a whole harem. And Ursula is his sister? How? She's half octopus!
tbf ursula being tritons sister was a scrapped concept from the animated movie too (i beleive she was turned into an octopus) havent seen the live action movie to know if they went the whole way with that concept.
Adoption wouldve been a solid answer for the sister tbh tho i havent seen the movie to see if theres an implication also Ursula being tritons sister has been a scrapped concept from the original
Ahem…THANK YOU I have always been tired of hearing the same garbage about the original film being all about Eric and a bad role model. It has always been my favorite film and I have been always sick of hearing people trying to gaslight me to thinking otherwise. And always love hearing live action remakes be torn to shreds it’s so satisfying. Great commentary everyone! Laughed multiple times!
I love how with every destiny remake they try to "fix" the story *not by looking for fair flaws in the narrative of the original* but by tweaking and adding nonsense that harms the narrative because it ponders to some idiots on the Internet who have a bunch of unfair/unsupported interpretations of the original being sexist or some such
Disney acts like all the old princess movies were super sexist so they can make more unnecessary changes when the original movie was often already progressive (perfect example is Mulan)
The thing that grabbed Ariel in the original was a transformed mermaid. They were trying to stop her from making the same mistake as them. But now it's just some random animals? plants? that try to choke her because we need a jump-scare.
They changed Scuttle into a gannet, but my understanding is that those types of birds still can't hold their breath for all that long. But I'm also no expert on birds.
@@GamingMagic13They can hold their breath for 30 seconds to be precise. And scuttle was talking, which uses more breath. Wait, should scuttle even be able to talk without getting water in her mouth?
So... Aquaman can have an octopus playing drums, yet this movie with a much bigger budget can't have sea creatures playing musical instruments of some kind?
I had been waiting for you guys to sit through The Little Mermaid 2023, and the things you point out is on point, and I agree with you wholeheartedly on these things. Can't wait for more audio commentaries! Also, you know Jonah Hauer-King's acting in this film is bad when I thought Waffles was talking at 1:50:16-1:50:18.
Oh! I know it isn’t the greatest, but the little mermaid 1989 is my favorite and comfort movie really excited to watch this! Oh and my condolences for watching another live action remake..least it isn’t Mulan
I think another reason why Ariel couldn’t write to Eric..well water pressure is different from pressure on land. Writing could be different all I’m saying Also great commentary! Would love to see one for beauty and the beast! You guys are all just hilarious watching movies together!
My friend claimed that the remake was apparently really good. She's also defended a lot of these remakes. I honestly facepalmed, even as a bit of a biased Mario fan
If the trident can revive people in the live action version, cant ursula just revive her eels? Also ursula in the live action had a clear shot towards eric and ariel
I don't see how anyone with a functional brain could physically put themselves through the hell that is the little mutemaid "I mean mermaid." I wouldn't wish this abysmal movie on my worst enemy because even they wouldn't deserve this level of torture 😂
This new live action movie for me is how toy story 4 has been bad for you I completely love the original movie and how characters were built, it might not be the most complex movie or that striking however it gave an insight of how dads and daughters should see eye to eye or both will suffer consequences, The new movie, the dad wasn't as angry or enraged by her actions as the original, making her decision to be human look more dull and really out of pocket, it feels like "daddy wouldn't buy me my new car waaahhh wahhhh" instead of "my dad doesn't understand my point and he won't listen to me so i will prove it" Making ariel kill ursula is stupid and dumb How is she able to stir a ship? How did she manage to conveniently reach the wheel WITH A TAIL and swing the ship CONVENIENTLY at the right moment? Why is ursula going after eric in this scene while ariel was the one who killed her sidekicks? Also eric had to save ariel because that actually proved 2 things 1)He loves her and is willing to sacrifice everything for her just like she did earlier 2) she technically won here by provimg that she was right to her dad by his gesture There are more reasons too but i cannot go over everything otherwise this comment would be longer than it already is Really the new live action sucks so much in every single way
I can add by Eric saving Ariel, he proved to.Triton that not all humans are bad, Eric didnt judge or get weirded out for a moment (yes he was shocked but who wouldnt if your crush turned out to be half fish.) He instead jumped into action to try to get her back, very much how he didnt hesitate to jump in to save Max. Eric is also extremely experienced. Yeah L/A might have studied sailing but theres a difference between actually practicing and studying.
@@shybie2798 yes thank you Which makes Ariel's argument against her dad sound and logical, Ariel fell for a great, lovable , kindhearted man which speaks volumes about Eric's character That goes for people who say eric had no personality yet he has done a lot in the original He saved his dog, got a save boat for his crew, took in a homeless girl (ariel) and took care of her under his wing as he couldn't leave her stranded (unlike stupid live action eric who abandoned her after he knew she isn't her dream woman) , he took her around the place, didn't want to kiss her in kiss the girl sequence as he didn't want to toy with her feelings because he still longs for the dream girl, started to let go of the dream girl and fall for ariel, saved ariel TWICE Really eric was a sweetheart in the original and he has been turned into an uninspired cabbage

Which also adds to why he was ruined Making eric mirror ariel in a way cheapens their relationship, eric was a free bird who ariel aspired to be as free as him. Giving eric a mother is like Making ariel not have a dad Really odd
I would say that Triton sounds kind of like a psychopath when he finds Ariel's collection in the live action one. He's so soft-spoken through that whole scene, I can cheerfully read it as he is a man with a disturbing uncaring for the people around him, so Ariel has extra motivation to leave. He may lock her in a Saw film any second if she doesn't. I'm sure that's exactly what they're going for, right? . . . Right?
I think the funniest thing about the 2023 one is that there seemed to be a reoccurring issue with the trailer in theaters where it would have the visuals of the trailer for Transformers RotB playing over it. One of my friends experienced it when going to the movie theater and I saw a video on UA-cam where it happened. So I might be wrong on the whole, reoccurring issue, but still a comical experience.
Rene Auberjonois, the voice actor for Chef Louie, has had a few roles you may recognize. He voiced Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas, but much more famously, Odo of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Bit of a range between those three as well.
Daveed Diggs (the voice of Sebastian in the live-action version,) is a pretty talented rapper, not only did he star in Hamilton, but he's also apart of the band Clipping. If you want to hear his rapping skills, may I recommend Blood of the Fang? He's also starred in other movies like the adaptation of Wonder. He was done unbelievably dirty in this movie, and I have nothing but respect for him.
It is true. After all, there is no saving a crappy movie. I've only heard some positive things about the actress who played as Vanessa. That's pretty much it.

In all the debate/criticisms/defense/controversies/whatever this movie gets, particularly about Ariel ~giving up her voice for a man~, I never see ANYONE mention the fact that Ursula *_preyed upon and manipulated_* Ariel, a _teenager_ who was in a very vulnerable place in her life. Come onnnnnnn

I heavily suggest that you all watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame. There are some things about the movie that are bad (namely the gargoyles and their song) but I think it is Disney’s finest movie that they have ever made.
It’s an enjoyable movie, and Out There is definitely the best Disney “I want” song, but given some of the plot problems I noticed on rewatch I wouldn’t say it’s the finest. Definitely among the best soundtracks though
Death: *whistles* I've enjoyed the chase gamer But we've reached the end now you and I This is gonna be fun I wanna apologize in advance for whatever the hell "the swamp" thing was
One of my favorite songs from the Broadway show is “Beyond My Wildest Dreams”. It also takes place in her head, and it used a track from the OG soundtrack and put lyrics to it. So it fits better with the rest of the music. That song is so much better lyrically and instrumentally than this sad attempt of “writing a new song” that the musical already succeeded in
Man, what about the idea of making commentarys on cartoons (for some, you know) from Turkey, Denmark, Norway? I mean watch them with your friends from the heart, throwing all logic out the window, and we would watch it and, like you, go crazy of laugh.
If they wanted a song for Ariel right after she's lost her voice, I think it could've worked. But what it should've been was to just have the orchestra do its thing as if there's also lyrics, but it'll be like Ariel at the moment: incomplete. That aside, as funny as the video is, perhaps you guys should take a break. I suggest that your next double feature video be of either Cinderella or puss in boots.
Please tell me were getting one for beauty and the beast Sadly, If you did so, You'd have to watch the remake, But not even watching the sequels instead would help, As you would have to watch belle's magical world
I’m currently watching ‘The Lion King’. The instant classic 1994 version, not the goofy ahh 2019 version. The 2023 version of ‘The Little Mermaid’ is also goofy ahh, just like the 2019 version of ‘The Lion King’.
Nice reaction. I hated the live action actually, it was nothing like i ever envisioned and they just did everything wrong in my opinion. anyway thank god no one is going to remember that movie and will never be a classic like the original🤷🏻♀😎
I want to do an experiment - find people that somehow have no knowledge of the original movie and then expose them to the source material and then the remake, then ask for opinions. Do the same thing for another group, except show them the original movie instead, but make sure neither party knows that the other version of the movie exists or anything about it. How would the impressions actually differ? I feel like it's too easy to judge the quality of the remake by comparing to the original, which often comes with some biases.
Honestly, the original overall holds up. But I will admit that the biggest problem with the movie is the fact that there was NO ATTEMPT for Ariel to communicate who she was beyond gestures. Yes it's great, but I feel like in a movie where your voice does matter, it should matter beyond verbal words. Heck if they needed an excuse for why Ariel doesn't just...write who she is despite being able to sign her name on a contract. You could explain that she has a VERY limited understanding of words in physical form. Heck, maybe instead you could have her learn to express herself through painting! Cause You know what they say: A picture can hold a thousand words! They didn't need to race swap Ariel for the sake of "diversity" when in reality it's the CHEAP way out when "providing diversity in the modern day", at least in general. No it doesn't mean raceswapping characters is a bad thing overall. But one can tell when it was done for no other reason than to force diversity instead of making original diverse characters. And need I say more about the negative uses of whtewashing and the negative affects it has had on minorities???? They didn't need to do the male characters dirty. They didn't need to make Scuttle more annoying (NOT CAUSE OF THE ACTRESS) than they already were originally for the sake of "humor". Don't change the scene where Eric saves Ariel by killing Ursala with the ship, cause not only does it symbolize Eric repaying the favor of Ariel saving his life before, but it also shows King Triton that not all humans are bad! Hell, they didn't need to remove the parts in unfortunete souls where Ursala is trying to say "Men don't care about a womans voice" in her song cause it actually makes sense for it to be in there CAUSE SHE IS LITERALLY TRYING TO CONVINCE ARIEL TO SELL HER VOICE TO HER! Just fix the problems in the original had that have a REASON to be fixed and you'll be golden! Don't change or try to "fix" shit that doesn't need chaning or fixing to begin with!
I really hate how Disney's soundtracks now are practically *mandated* to have an "epic" opening score. Also, I *THINK* they actually shot scenes of this movie stupidly underwater, which reminds me of this late-era Spongebob promo that almost killed Tom Kenny because of how deep they shot it in. Adding more extras would have killed them.
As for which is worse... this is probably worse but Aladdin hurt me on a more personal level so... RANKINGS FOR THE REMAKES SO FAR: 1. This- 3/10 2. Lion King- 2/10 3. Mulan- 0.5/10 4. Aladdin- 0/10
@@silverscorpio24 What it means is that I have too many other projects I need to work on that are preventing me from ripping the FNaF movie apart in a video. Not that it wasn’t rage-inducing. I strongly contemplated walking out of the theater when I saw it.
@@GamingMagic13 Huh, that's too bad. Then again I know a lot of bigger FNAF fans than me didn't like it either. And their criticisms of the movie are fair. I did enjoy it though; it wasn't a masterpiece, but at least they tried adding to the bare-bones story, unlike the Mario movie. The theme was nice and I like the dynamic between Mike and Abby. I tell you what though: FNAF 2 had better be an improvement from this one. Edit: Hey, at least Vanessa was a character in the movie, unlike her debut in the games.

Justice for Chef Louis 👨🍳❤
I know this has nothing to do with Louis's antics in the original, but his voice actor is also the actor for Constable Odo in Star Trek: DS9
Disney had NO right to cut him out! AUGH, I'm so furious our boi is gone.😡
I remember last year, hearing that Lin Manuel Miranda was gonna play Chef Louis, but that never happened.
It's so weird that Disney never made a franchise out of the Disney Princes. Almost every one of them is a badass and a great role model for boys.
Not a franchise, but plenty of merchandise
A Franchise of merchandise
There was an attempt at a Disney Heroes toy line, with characters like Peter Pan, Hercules, and Robin Hood, but it was very short-lived.
@SparkpadArt I'll have e to look I to that I've never heard of it before now.
Well, we all know why they wouldn't ever do something like that in this day and age.
I mean they appear as legend characters in princess sophia, a kids show thats actually very decent tbh. But they by themselves its kinda weird huh
The amount of pure joy you guys got out of Chef Louis of all characters is nothing short of amazing and hilarious!

Rene Auberjonois, the voice actor for Chef Louie, has had a few roles you may recognize. He voiced Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas, but much more famously, Odo of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Bit of a range between those three as well.
Daveed Diggs (the voice of Sebastian in the live-action version,) is a pretty talented rapper, not only did he star in Hamilton, but he's also apart of the band Clipping. If you want to hear his rapping skills, may I recommend Blood of the Fang? He's also starred in other movies like the adaptation of Wonder. He was done unbelievably dirty in this movie, and I have nothing but respect for him.
It is true. After all, there is no saving a crappy movie. I've only heard some positive things about the actress who played as Vanessa. That's pretty much it.
@@jessicab831 I haven't seen this movie, and I don't intend on seeing it anytime soon
@@FinnTheCritic It's why it's great having reactors on UA-cam, otherwise we'd have to pay money to see garbage.
@@jessicab831 Exactly my point!

In all the debate/criticisms/defense/controversies/whatever this movie gets, particularly about Ariel ~giving up her voice for a man~, I never see ANYONE mention the fact that Ursula *_preyed upon and manipulated_* Ariel, a _teenager_ who was in a very vulnerable place in her life. Come onnnnnnn
What do you think about the Fnaf movie and will there be an audio commentary for it?
25:56 Unfortunately Angry Grandpa passed away in 2017, and his son has been in charge of his channel ever since, occasionally uploading his older stuff in highlights. 😢
I can't wait for the well known song (In the GOOD original)
So, out of the 4 Renaissance movies you've watched in commentary. How would you rank them from worst to best?
Speaking for myself:
1. Aladdin
2. The Lion King
3. The Little Mermaid
4. Mulan
You have my condolences
Ariel makes me like and appreciate Comic Sans.
Is scuttlebutt's song worst than iago's songs from the return of jafar?
Yes, I would take Iago over Scuttlebutt in a heartbeat.
Yes
I doubt that you guys will ever do the Pinocchio thing but I would love for you guys to watch both Disney's Inspector Gadget films.
I heavily suggest that you all watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame. There are some things about the movie that are bad (namely the gargoyles and their song) but I think it is Disney’s finest movie that they have ever made.
It’s an enjoyable movie, and Out There is definitely the best Disney “I want” song, but given some of the plot problems I noticed on rewatch I wouldn’t say it’s the finest.
Definitely among the best soundtracks though
I would love for them to experience the musical masterpiece that is "Hellfire"
@@silverscorpio24 Be prepared has some serious competition to go against, that’s for sure.
Death: *whistles*
I've enjoyed the chase gamer
But we've reached the end now you and I
This is gonna be fun
I wanna apologize in advance for whatever the hell "the swamp" thing was
If they did the scene where Flounder can't fit through the ship hole, it would have been cursed, like the scene where Ariel holds Flounder's fin
You're Channel Is Great
The new Sebastian doesn’t put any emotion into his performance.
And he won't top the original voice actor of the character in the og little mermaid
@@Mr.Feather130yep. Plus the design is horrible and he lacks all the original personality and charm that the OG had.
@@judebaun9993 yeah which makes wish they go for the stylistic cartoony look with a hint of realistic on the sea creature characters instead
One of my favorite songs from the Broadway show is “Beyond My Wildest Dreams”. It also takes place in her head, and it used a track from the OG soundtrack and put lyrics to it. So it fits better with the rest of the music. That song is so much better lyrically and instrumentally than this sad attempt of “writing a new song” that the musical already succeeded in

I Love Pixar Animation Studios They Work More Then Bankrupt Disney
I'm predicting that we are getting a bambie live action remake in 2024
Kathleen Kennedy: Put a chick in it! Make her gay!
GamingMagic Toy Story Was Outstanding With All Three
Man, what about the idea of making commentarys on cartoons (for some, you know) from Turkey, Denmark, Norway? I mean watch them with your friends from the heart, throwing all logic out the window, and we would watch it and, like you, go crazy of laugh.
Can't wait for Beauty and the Beast
Imagine if Nickelodeon did this better.
OH WAIT! IT DID!
Wait it did?
If they wanted a song for Ariel right after she's lost her voice, I think it could've worked. But what it should've been was to just have the orchestra do its thing as if there's also lyrics, but it'll be like Ariel at the moment: incomplete.
That aside, as funny as the video is, perhaps you guys should take a break. I suggest that your next double feature video be of either Cinderella or puss in boots.
No Louie = 0/10
UA-cam translated the “No” to “For”
For Louie=0/10
I'm Not Proud Of Josh Cooly Because He Ruined My Childhood
Same
Please tell me were getting one for beauty and the beast
Sadly, If you did so, You'd have to watch the remake, But not even watching the sequels instead would help, As you would have to watch belle's magical world
Oh god. Belle's Magical World. please don't ever mention that abomination of a midquel 😨
We have been discussing whether we should just do all the Disney live action remakes at this point
@@Jess19980 Fox and the found 2 is a worse midquel tho
*hound*
@@SuperSonic9000IsHere Yeah that's a piece of garbage too. and it's an unnecessary one too.
I’m currently watching ‘The Lion King’.
The instant classic 1994 version, not the goofy ahh 2019 version. The 2023 version of ‘The Little Mermaid’ is also goofy ahh, just like the 2019 version of ‘The Lion King’.

Are you still gonna do a watch along for "Screams" 1-6?
I don’t recall us ever saying we would. But no, there are absolutely zero plans for that
@@AvertATthank you for letting me know.
Nice reaction. I hated the live action actually, it was nothing like i ever envisioned and they just did everything wrong in my opinion. anyway thank god no one is going to remember that movie and will never be a classic like the original🤷🏻♀😎
Well l love the movie ❤ the live action and so the animation
😒😒😒😃😃😡😡
They gave a rap number to the character that has a joke about how awful it sings

I want to do an experiment - find people that somehow have no knowledge of the original movie and then expose them to the source material and then the remake, then ask for opinions. Do the same thing for another group, except show them the original movie instead, but make sure neither party knows that the other version of the movie exists or anything about it. How would the impressions actually differ? I feel like it's too easy to judge the quality of the remake by comparing to the original, which often comes with some biases.
8:48 mickey goofy and donald is there
You fought well today. And I'll say that as bad as The Little Mermaid remake is, it's still a better love story than Twilight.
Also, scuttlebutt.
😂Buzz Lightyear Has Always Been My Own Toys 😊
Imagine if Aquaman or SpongeBob and Patrick or Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy were in this movie.
dont octopus have multiple brains to control their tentacles so hes having a mind of her own makes some sense because they literally do
Honestly, the original overall holds up. But I will admit that the biggest problem with the movie is the fact that there was NO ATTEMPT for Ariel to communicate who she was beyond gestures.
Yes it's great, but I feel like in a movie where your voice does matter, it should matter beyond verbal words.
Heck if they needed an excuse for why Ariel doesn't just...write who she is despite being able to sign her name on a contract.
You could explain that she has a VERY limited understanding of words in physical form.
Heck, maybe instead you could have her learn to express herself through painting! Cause You know what they say: A picture can hold a thousand words!
They didn't need to race swap Ariel for the sake of "diversity" when in reality it's the CHEAP way out when "providing diversity in the modern day", at least in general. No it doesn't mean raceswapping characters is a bad thing overall. But one can tell when it was done for no other reason than to force diversity instead of making original diverse characters.
And need I say more about the negative uses of whtewashing and the negative affects it has had on minorities????
They didn't need to do the male characters dirty.
They didn't need to make Scuttle more annoying (NOT CAUSE OF THE ACTRESS) than they already were originally for the sake of "humor".
Don't change the scene where Eric saves Ariel by killing Ursala with the ship, cause not only does it symbolize Eric repaying the favor of Ariel saving his life before, but it also shows King Triton that not all humans are bad!
Hell, they didn't need to remove the parts in unfortunete souls where Ursala is trying to say "Men don't care about a womans voice" in her song cause it actually makes sense for it to be in there CAUSE SHE IS LITERALLY TRYING TO CONVINCE ARIEL TO SELL HER VOICE TO HER!
Just fix the problems in the original had that have a REASON to be fixed and you'll be golden! Don't change or try to "fix" shit that doesn't need chaning or fixing to begin with!
I really hate how Disney's soundtracks now are practically *mandated* to have an "epic" opening score.
Also, I *THINK* they actually shot scenes of this movie stupidly underwater, which reminds me of this late-era Spongebob promo that almost killed Tom Kenny because of how deep they shot it in. Adding more extras would have killed them.
Wait they did? Which ones? I would've bet money it was all CGI
@@GamingMagic13 Like, when she's singing an interview said she was really underwater for a few minutes and when the shipwreck happened at the end.
that dudes singing was horrible ...prince song was so unnecessary
Do you guys believe that their gonna watch the original and live action of Cinderella & Beauty and the Beast??
It's one of natures misteries!
As for which is worse... this is probably worse but Aladdin hurt me on a more personal level so...
RANKINGS FOR THE REMAKES SO FAR:
1. This- 3/10
2. Lion King- 2/10
3. Mulan- 0.5/10
4. Aladdin- 0/10

Trevor are you planning on doing a review of Five Nights at Freddy's?
Maybe someday
@@GamingMagic13 Guess that means it wasn't rage-inducing. Hope that's a good sign 😄
@@silverscorpio24 What it means is that I have too many other projects I need to work on that are preventing me from ripping the FNaF movie apart in a video. Not that it wasn’t rage-inducing.
I strongly contemplated walking out of the theater when I saw it.
@@GamingMagic13 Huh, that's too bad. Then again I know a lot of bigger FNAF fans than me didn't like it either. And their criticisms of the movie are fair. I did enjoy it though; it wasn't a masterpiece, but at least they tried adding to the bare-bones story, unlike the Mario movie. The theme was nice and I like the dynamic between Mike and Abby.
I tell you what though: FNAF 2 had better be an improvement from this one.
Edit: Hey, at least Vanessa was a character in the movie, unlike her debut in the games.
@@silverscorpio24Trust me bro, he was ranting for HOURS with the rest of us in his discord server when he saw it. 😅
