Oh yeah, I remember when the FNAF movie came out. A lot of autistic fans got angry that critics didn't like the movie. To any fags watching this read there is something you probably haven't heard of and that's called having opinions.

Someone even made a video as to why the critics are wrong and that their precious FNAF Movie was a masterpiece. Btw this is the same guy that made the "Is FNAF Political?" video.

The issue with the movie is that it was geared towards fans who'd been here since the beginning, and not very welcoming to newcomers. It was, essentially, an autistic love letter to the fanbase, full of things everyone talked about wanting to see in the movie since it was announced like... nine years ago. Not critic friendly.
Yeah that’s what I’ve heard: it needed to be more like an average horror movie than a FNAF fan film. If only to make things flow better and not have to rely on the audience doing homework.Yeah, the FNAF Community needs to understand that not everyone is going to like your autistic movie. So when it was confirmed that the movie was meant for fans, the community shouldn't go into full autistic sperging mode because critics aren't fans of the series.
And Matt even got a cameo in film where he’s dunked on.The lore of the game is an absolute fucking mess as well. Scott clearly didn't have anything beyond snippets of an accident or tragedy in mind when making the first game, so the next ones are just shit piled on top of shit to capitalize on the Game Theory hype effect, because nobody played any game past FNAF 2 for the gameplay. It was for the lore Scott haphazardly slapped together. Resulting in a convoluted mess not even Scott probably knows the answer to. It's a running joke that MattPat wrote about 90% of the lore for Scott by just posting theories, but as the years went on it grew apparent that, at least in the early days, that was largely the case.
Props to Scott, though. He retired in his early 40's with millions of dollars and a large family, and seemingly creatively fulfilled. Good for him.
Honestly, the animatronics being Transformers would be the most coherent and logical step you could take.What the fuck are even they supposed to do with story anymore? First they were robots with ghosts inside, then when pizzeria burns somehow it is alive and then it turns out purple guy built underground bunker/circus and all nightmare animatronics are alive and use special disks to appear like nightmares and now there is some supernatural energy made to give robots life or some shit
Man what the fuck is next? That they can turn into cars too like transformers?
I’m just surprised the series got as many games as it did. Not sure how many games another dev would make based on what the first FNAF gave us.The series' lore is an absolute, unfixable mess. As stated, I can't imagine even Scott has all the answers anymore. Made even worse by the endless stream of books where he took the bitchmade stance of "Sort of canon but not really canon but not totally noncanon either" like pick a lane and stick to it. They're either canon or they're not. I wish the series would just get a big reboot at this point, I literally couldn't care any less about the lore being solved even if such a thing was actually possible.
Mark and his “WAS THAT THE BITE OF 83/87?!” Was probably what set this fandom ablaze. At least 25% of the reason.In the original game, Golden Freddy was in the files as "Yellow Bear", which is not only more accurate to what the design was originally going for, but also is a much better name for a horror character. Makes you wonder why Scott didn't keep the original name. Well, in Markiplier's playthrough of the first game, he encountered Golden Freddy on the second episode, and since that was obviously the most memorable part of the video, he decided to put "WAS THAT GOLDEN FREDDY?!" as the title. GOLDEN FREDDY GOT IT'S NAME FROM A MARKIPLIER VIDEO AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!
It’d be inspiring if they didn’t tear each other apart. And wasn’t watched by us assholes with hearts made of stone.Say what you want about FNAF but its truly a franchise built entirely by fans and creators, even more so than games like TF2 or Garry's Mod which are largely (if not entirely) community-sustained. Scott churned out the official material but YouTubers and their fans wrote the lore, named the characters, determined the locations. Really was remarkable to see people get so hyped up about solving something that, at the time, was pretty novel. Back in the day people were counting the number of buttons on an animatronic or how many chimes a clock made. Was really autistic but really a prime example of what the internet does best, which is connecting people.
Honestly, I’d probably do the same thing if I was in his shoes.
