I believe it's because he forgot to lock up everything and let people get in easily at daytime. If someone really wanted to get in (they did), it probably wouldn't make a difference, but he still has the responsibility to lock up, so he was made a scapegoat. To be fair, he was occupied with Vanessa and the ghosts of children who were stuffed into animatronic singing animal suits, so, I think it's ok. He's generally a flawed character who becomes a hero, which I love about his character!

@@bradenmoore2187because he did not actually forget to lock up

@@bradenmoore2187 but vanessa SAW him lock the doors during the day. regardless, it was fun. albeit dumb

yeah, this made the animatronics move at daytime, which further goes away from original lore (which is fine, just.. eh they couldve got in cuz max talked about his work, and he couldve said he slept at a certain time, and then they got in when they knew he was asleep, and then he wakes up when the animatronics are acting up killin people, and they almost got mike but 6am on the clock and so they stop/automatically go back to their places and scare the hell out of mike or sumthin)

​@@l0ned1ver95due to the way the script was written, Mike wouldn't have brought Abby in if he knew they were capable of killing people. And we needed Abby to be in the building. So he couldn't know what they do - they had to kill when he wasn't around

it’s not harmless joy is never cringe. It’s a movie adaptation. You are a fan and have expectations for it. No harm no fowl you know. But others probably don’t think it’s perfect it’s a solid movie it just didn’t wow you. If you even saw it.

This comment made me smile

This is adorable thank you 🥰

I'm not a FNAF fan and even I was excited to see it lol

Because it's lazily written and the fan service doesn't make up for it

@@bubblegumboyo4274i don’t really care i still enjoyed it and thought it was a fun movie, if you don’t like it that’s okay just don’t ruin others fun.

@@bubblegumboyo4274how do you expect a movie made for kids to be written well? and personally i think it was written completely fine

​@@bubblegumboyo4274I went in knowing full well it was made for fans, would have fan service, and be massively goofy. Had a good time 8.5/10

I’m glad you enjoyed it :) everything is hated by someone, so try not to let that get you down. Loving the fnaf movie is harmless and if you had a good time, then that’s none of anyone else’s concern

I feel like remembering that kids last name seems a little unlikely, also saw someone point out that where they were camping when Garret was kidnapped was far from where the movie takes place, so it sorta seems like William knew where they were and went out of his way to kidnap that specific kid, which adds to the theory that Mike is Henry Emily's son.

This was what I thought too when he paused on Mike's last name.

In my country it was actually classified as PG15 "comedic horror" during preordering tickets at the cinemas' site. Then on 26th or 27th they changed it to PG13 "horror style comedy"

​@@lamehouse Yes plus it seems kind of excessive for William to travel to a whole different state just to kidnap one child, when in the movie his method is to use the Freddy's location. He was also wearing a hoodie, not the suit he wears to kill. So it feels special, different than the rest. Now it could be a different reason, but given in the lore of the books and games we already have seen an example of it, it makes sense that Garret is the movie equivalent of Charlie.

I also actually was really surprised by the shown and implied violence! They showed someone get cut in half, like. I was shocked, lol.

Bro I'm sorry but no I would have rather seen the violence than actually have it implied & I'm sorry but imo Poppy Playtime may overtake FNAF in terms of being the best horror game out there because they know the fans want ahem HORROR, they know the fans want to be creeped out & the fact people are happy to see FNAF go down the rabbit hole (no pun intended) of not being what is used to, then I've lost hope for the community

Completely agree, I'm very excited for the puppet in the sequel, if it's coming, because it will look so cool. I trust them to handle the designs. Some people are saying the Nightmares will appear, due to Vanessa being in a coma. And if THAT becomes true, I'm intrigued what they'd do with it, especially because it could be an opportunity to appease some of the fanbase that thought the movie wasn't scary enough.

Big agree, the props and set design really carried a lot of the film

Vanessa isn't even an Afton... Mike is...

@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic yeah but not in the movie

What? 💀

……William kidnapped and killed the main character’s brother, causing him trauma. The main character’s sister has LITERAL CONNECTIONS TO THE KIDS- The only thing that would make Mike more connected with Afton is if he himself was captured and escaped somehow-

@@redballoon9007 I'm not talking about the plot. I'm talking about intermediate scenes. For example, Afton was at the beginning as Steve Raglan, Afton was at the end, but there could have been scenes where Steve Raglan kept appearing, checking in on Mike, even calling on the phone with the iconic "hello, hello". There could have been some build up and tension. I know what the plot was, and we knew what the reveal was going to be, but there could have been more build to get there.

It wasn't boring... but okay

@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic NO! It WAS boring! And if you disagree you're wrong!!! There's no possible way for two people to see the same movie and have different opinions on it!!

@@scivoid You're so embarrassing with that use of sarcasm. 🤣

@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic Why would you say that about me? 😭

@@scivoid Because you're actually such a vibe! 🤣

SAME

Actually, I believe the opposite. I saw everyone being excited for a cheesy B-movie with plenty of Easter eggs. Instead we got a half serious/half goofy movie with like 3 call backs. The pacing was also off

I disagree, & I blame Scott & Blumhouse for it, Blumhouse for being known to make really bone chilling horror movies & Scott for catering to the kids in the audience/ fandom, his games wouldn't be where they were now if big name ADULT youtubers didn't play them, so he really should've gone for the more darker & bone chilling kind of movie vs the cutesy killer type to adhere to the kids that had easters eggs plastered everywhere

​@@KariTalks This is very interesting to me. First because you seem to have wanted them to stick to a cheesy tone, and the next person wanted a super dark movie. Lol okay And second because there were many Easter eggs. So many. So many references, even to the books! The ella doll! You had not one, but TWO Sparky the dog references, chicas magic rainbow, you had the cupcake killing a dude named CARL, his shirt. You had references to the merch. Hell even Matpat's cameo character had a tag named "Ness". Ness!! My personal problem with the movie was actually that some of the fanservice was to the detriment of the plot. Like the "I always come back!!" bit. It's the first time he's dead! makes no sense! I just don't get why you'd think there's only 2-3 callbacks. Maybe you saw it on theaters? I saw it on streaming and had the chance to pause and rewind. That must make a difference

@@riddlerosehearts8277 Ah yes, truly bone chilling Blumhouse productions such as: M3GAN, Paranormal Activity, The Purge, and literally HUNDREDS of other garbage cash grab horror movies. Don't know why anyone had expectations for this at all lmao.

@@yveltalsea Bro I haven't seen any horror movies but from what I've seen this was an honest let down & the fact ppl praise the shit out of it baffles me

the audio cutting out reminds me of the fnaf games .Like there is a jumpscare about to happen

I mean that's the same for all the kids. they're kidnapped just cuz they were that's just how afton do

@@chocomelo454 I know, but that doesn’t make it satisfying. It terms of plot, if you’re gonna spend that much time building up this mystery only to have it fizzle out last minute - like that’s just poor writing. Maybe the fact that whatever happened to the brother remains unknown is what makes it so tragic, but it would’ve been nice for that aspect to be emphasised in some way to make the narrative a good one.

​@@tatianaaa4569Thank god they didn't change aftons intentions and character just to make it "satisfying"

@@shineseeker7 idk man, I’m just giving my opinion as someone who wasn’t a fan of the games initially - so I’m not thinking about this from a previous fans perspective, and I’m not gonna ignore poor writing due to pre-existing canon (especially considering this film was willing to stray from the canon). I never said that I wanted afton’s motives to be changed, I wanted them to be executed better. they weren’t. afton’s reveal was still rushed af, the plot with the brother was interesting but wasn’t wrapped up in a good way, it’s just not a great film - but a good entryway to a great set of games. but yeah, thank god the film was written poorly & the third act was rushed.

ooo i really like this theory

yess lexi is actually really into puppetry and told me about them!

@@graysonsprojects they’re great, didn’t watch most of muppets shows, but movies yep! Some of them are underrated.

yeahhhh trailer gonna trailer

0 chemistry for sure but there was definitely forced longing stares and im not the only one that saw them

​@graysonsprojects I swear there was no longing in those stares but god I really hope that doesn't go anywhere🫠

​@@CrumbisBumbis There was. I hate it

At the beginning too.

And it's afton 💀

@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic lmao I hate autocorrect

Okay but in defense of them, the movie is an entirely separate universe (pretty sure it was confirmed?). Much like the books, the movie wasn't meant to exactly match the previous lore. To me, it felt like a silly little thing to bring us nostalgia and also bring a different storyline to the table. The set was amazing but I wish they had brought more of the game play into the movie too BUT, realistically, a person would literally never keep working a job if robots were out to get them every night they stayed there. I personally adored the plot. It felt like I was a kid again, making theories on who the killer might be. If they made a movie that followed the lore it would've been too predictable and it's a story I'd heard of dozens of times before. The reason FNAF became so big was partly because of it's mysteriousness and the flexibility that the game gave to coming up with your own conclusions and theories. Having a movie that confirmed it all would've made me.. bored. Of course your points are valid. I understand where you're coming from and I do agree with you. It could've been better but that's the same for pretty much any movie.

@@ThinkGoofier you’re 100% correct that it’s not a film that realistically could’ve maintained the gameplay aspect. Honestly, I wouldn’t want it to bc the game is strictly relegated to that one room and there’s only so much a film audience can take of the monotony, especially in a film like this. I think the storyline was hit or miss, but I’m glad a lot of ppl actually enjoyed it! I think for me, I needed something that was more consistent in tone. Now, I did love the scenes of them being in a silly goofy mood! I just wish they were in a different movie… and for the lore, I have no problem with them changing things, especially bc a lot of the lore is just fans having to come up with shit and collectively convince everyone to agree to it. My issue with the lore of the FILM is that, as I mentioned, the implications of some of those changes are TERRIBLE! (For example, the ghost children being influenced by William Afton & being kinda malevolent when it came to Abby and Mike, also, the fact that Abby had been talking to them for YEARS at this point?). Things like that. Also, Vanessa pissed me off a bit too much- her character makes no sense, even once we find out ab her. William makes even less sense and is TOO cartoonishly evil. It kinda gave a much darker version of “I would’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for you meddling kids and your rotten animatronic friends” which was NOT good at all. I think adapting something inherently means you have to change parts of it, but this one made things so unnecessary for no reason, which is why I really didn’t think it was made FOR the fans. Putting Easter eggs and familiar parts of a franchise into a project doesn’t necessarily mean it’s made for the fans, it home just means they wanted the fanbase to show up & increase box office numbers. But that’s absolutely just MY experience with it. I’m so glad it’s been this successful and had a lot of people come out to support it! I think a sequel is possible, but it’s not one that’s set up super well based on the conclusion of this one.

@@cristenkray5192 Yeah that whole plot with the kids working with Afton made no sense but meh. I liked the whole mysterious wall of drawings and how they incorporated that thing Scott did in the books where the character draws the animatronics before they've even seen them. I was giggling and kicking my feet the entire movie bc i've been edged and LIED to over and over again abt this damn movie.

Bro no FNAF was neither silly nor corny, it's about KILLER ROBOTS POSSESSED BY DEAD KIDS, they could make a kids toy fucking scary so what's the actually difference between 7ft animatronics & Chucky both of which are posessed by a human only Chucky is an adult, while the robots are children

@@riddlerosehearts8277 did you forget the fact that you could click the noses of the plushes and they would make squeak noises, sister location the entire eggs Benedict joke and the exotic butters joke, pizza sim mini games, when Scott would troll the fandom too. plus the lore gets pretty unbelievable with Micheal being a rotting corpse for 30 years (by that time he should have been a skeleton) and the stupid remenant thing, all of the books (i still can’t believe they wrote mpreg) and the entire fandom. so yes fnaf is kind of silly/corny.

​@@riddlerosehearts8277 Okay buddy let's have a reality check. Play those games again. They've never had any gore or violence in them. Only implications, or story. But never actual violence shown. Most we got was Sister Location with the scooping and that was NOT explicit. Games have always been riddled with jokes and humor (Hand unit??? phone guy???) that are very silly. It's a very silly game. The animatronics have been goofy the whole time. Foxy's humming is FUNNY not scary. AND the voice lines in UCN have that balance between funny and scary. Fnaf world. Freddy in space. Fnaf 6. They're all GOOFY. Yes they're scary but None of these games are gory or dark. Just because the story is dark (and it was plenty present in the movie) doesn't make the GAMES themselves dark. THE BOOKS??? FAZGOO??? 😂😂😂 Anyway the movie is for kids. Fnaf 1 was for kids. It's always been for kids. The theater was packed of kids. If you want gore, go watch Saw

@@ranchustars3050 Okay but weren't you the ones moaning that SB wasn't scary 🙄 so what's wrong with me & others wanting the movies to emulate that, sure there was some goofy shit but the lore for one before it got fucked up was NOT goofy if you laugh & find robots murdering people to be funny then good for you but until I see those robots being KILLER ROBOTS like they were supposed to be, this game is over for me

@@nessie7306 OMG IT'S A DIFFERENT FUCKING MEDIUM WHY DOES IT STILL NEED TO IMPLIE SHIT WE ALL KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SO WHY NOT JUST FUCKING SHOW US, ya'll really underestimate what kids will watch, I'll say it again KIDS WILL WATCH GOREY SHIT, I've heard of kids eatch stuff like Chucky etc & you're telling me seeing 7ft robots going on a rampage killing any adult that steps into the facility is too much for a child to bare witness to 🙄, you lot & scott severly underestimate what parents will let their kids watch, but I'm sorry if you want to sit in a fandom that is slowly dying from.the lack of HORROR elements then the next game should just be goofy throughout forget the possessed robots, forget the serial killer just have to be a goofy little game for the kiddies & let Poppy Playtime actually scare adults with it's story, because ngl if I want a goofy ass series, I'll watching fucking One Piece ya know a show that is actually MEANT to be goofy not a HORROR game that isn't even supposed to be goofy

Hello! old fan here. So to your Mike question, it all happened in the books, and later in Sister Location (fnaf 5). We learned about William Afton in the first novel trilogy, and back then people were conflicted (just as we are now), as to whether or not the books were canon to the games. However it all changed in Sister Location. The intro to the game is someone asking about Circus Baby's design to a man they call "Mr. Afton". We later confirm his first name is William in either Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (fnaf 6) or Ultimate Custom Night, when he is credited as "William Afton". In the game we play as a guy named Mike, as his name is written on Hand Unit. At the very end of the game, with the main ending, Mike has a monologue where he says "Father, it's me, Micheal" and you can look up his SL ending speech. There are many clues as to how we know William owns the SL bunker where the game takes place, and is Mike's father, but the biggest obvious one is that at the end of his speech, Springtrap (William Afton after dying) appears on screen. EDIT: Forgot to say, in Mike's monologue, he says "I'm going to come find you" and THEN William appears, in his design of Fnaf 3, implying that game is Micheal trying to find his father. So that's how we know Mike in the games is an Afton. How we know he is the older brother in FNaF 4, is another rabbit hole. I recommend watching at least some of The Game Theorists old videos because they show the way we came across this information. If there's one thing I can disagree with you on, it's that they should or shouldn't follow the game story. I don't think it's necessary to enjoy it. The books don't follow the game canon either (not talking about tales of the pizzaplex), so it makes sense the movie wouldn't either. It's fine

@@nessie7306 Hi thanks for taking the time to explain I really appricate it! I haven't read the books but I might have too now. again I have not really followed the lore side of things but I might re-watch GTlive when they played the games. I agree with you that they don't have to follow the games/books and it can be its own story but I think a lot of fans ( including me) were confused when they included Vanessa in the film since I thought it would be following the first game but adding more elements into it. I'm yet to watch the film but I'm glad their doing their own thing with the plot otherwise it would a boring movie since a lot of the lore is a) in later games or b) in the books. sorry if this makes no sense I'm writing this on my phone so I apologize for any spelling mistakes

The drawing thing was from the books if I'm not mistaken

What

It wasnt

im sorry that is just not true, vanessa says it herself in the movie that williams her dad and that’s why shes always hanging around freddys and knows so much

@graysonsprojects In the game lore, he's Micheal afton, going under Mike smit or however its spelt. Vanessa is just the security guard for the fnaf security breach. That's why Mike is the security guard for the games and he's the reason why some of the fnaf buildings got burnt down. He's going around working as the security guards in the games.

@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic oh im just talking about the movie bc this video is about the movie 😅 ik michaels an afton in the games

@@graysonsprojects That's fine 🤣, my comment was about the movie portrayal 🤣

I didn’t see it that way either.
