I'm very scared to give FNaF movie theory videos a chance bc like. The last time I cared abt the game lore was before the Gregbot bullshit and that stuff was kinda my breaking point with the newer (Steel Wool era specifically) games, and I realllyyy do not want to listen to a guy pull the most convoluted ideas from the books n shit as if they inherently mean anything for the movies.

I know the thing with FNaF now is that the plot is basically the equivalent of like 40 shoe strings tied together in the most tangled, impossible to separate knot, and that, despite the fact the books were originally supposed to be separate from the games, both the books and the games inform eachother to an upsetting degree, but like. Fuck, come on man. Aren't any of you tired of the state the game lore is in? Can the movies pleeeaaase just be based on the first three games.

Anyways I'm glad Micheal is not an Afton and has his own shit going on (even if tied to Afton but I was expecting that from the start I think). I really hope that they don't involve the "cofounder Henry Emily" shit and instead there's a different connection to Afton, that or the movies at least don't carry the Henry Emily name over because god would the theories be even more insufferable. (William gets a pass bc his name is cool and yeah ig that's a biased statement. He got his own cover name in the movie separate from the books' cover name so we can just throw away the Henry Emily name it's fine.)

I think if the second movie were to make Micheal an Afton it'd be so disappointing. I like the movies being their own thing while inspired by the first three games outside of references to stuff beyond that. I don't think everything needs to be shoved into the FNaF lore amalgam that constantly makes things more confusing. Let's just have one continuity that's clear that you dont need to force into being a clue at hidden game lore or that game lore inherently means [xyz] for the movies outside of obvious stuff carried over.

#ramblings #oohhhh boy heres the first of many rants #im tired so theres probably a very clear tone of bitterness #i hope when im ready to rip the bandaid off for movie theories that my fears arent proven true #but also the state of fnaf theorizing is `books say this which you can draw parallels to this from the games- #-therefore in the games stuff is supposed to be like this` so i think its reasonable for me to assume people are doing the same with the #movie. sorry fnaf theory makers but god im just so burnt out on the books being used to say xyz thing is now canon #gregbot relied on what were clear censorship cuts removing dialogue referencing blood and injury to be removed #fnafs georg you know? maybe the curtain isnt blue for nothung but you forget occams razor #while i salute headcanons and aus. there is no building blocks for micheal to he an afton in the movies. simplest answer is hes not
