MatPat already revealed that Markiplier was going to be the first security guard. It would have been cool to see him in it, but maybe he can be in the second or third movie.

To be fair, the death of Jeff contains both Foxy’s “buh duh bum bum bum” singing AND the original jumpscare sound.

"I want the actual foxy sounds from the game!" You take that back, Kellen Goff did Foxy's dum dum song and its amazing lol.

I think the most goofiest part of the movie was Golden Freddy fitting inside the Taxi, and the building randomly deciding it should fall apart at the end of the movie because the big bad was defeated.

About Matpat it should be said that Scott Cawthon wanted him to do that line, in fact he wanted him to do it in the exaggerated way it was in the video but they compromised with what we got instead lol

Ethan mentioning fan service made me instantly think about how much they focused on Foxy's feet then I instantly realized that's not the fan service he meant 💀

The scene where the foxy kid turns around and screams and there's black tears running down his face - I wish the whole movie had that energy.

Correction, at least 90% of filming with the animatronics was with actual animatronics. Suits were used for stunts as to not damage the very expensive animatronics. I believe the scene where Bonnie falls when building the fort was a person in a costume. But stuff like them preforming on stage, walking around and stuff like that, it’s actual animatronics

For the iconic line, my guess is that Afton in this universe already knew that he was gonna possess the suit after his death.

Pretty sure foxy sang a couple times in the movie, the fnaf 1 jumpscare sound effect was present too.

As an FNAF fan myself, and the movie tells me about the lore that I already knew, I still loved it. It just tells that the movie respects the source material, and that's what I want in any live action adaptations.

As far as the Ballon Boy "Hello" there is a moment where Abby says it in nearly the same way, I was under the impression that was a reference to it.

I really wish the movie went like this: it’s just mikes 5 nights there, and we slowly learn that he’s there to find out more what happened to the kids and his brother and about his dad. More dark lighting and quiet scenes or just listening to the animatronics moving around his office. More of the “it’s me” stuff could happen, since it’s his brother trying to tell him it’s him.

Side note, Ethan did a fucking great job with is documentary premiere. It got me all hyped up and emotional. I’m so happy I bought tickets. 💙

I personally enjoyed the movie. It was more about how weird it was. Also the fact that the fricking cupcake had the highest kill count 😂😅

I genuinely loved the movie, and I didn’t just turn my brain off. Everything I saw was connected to either the lore, a reference, an Easter egg, or something else that made me even more excited. The animatronics, while not really scary, they felt so intense and in those moments they convey the weight of these giant robots incredibly well. Those kills were all so badass, and I was surprised that they even made the scenes with the cupcake share some of that intensity. The scenes where we see more of the personality of the animatronics was so fun, and the pillow fort was just a really cute moment. I didn’t think it detracted from anything because the animatronics are just confused kids at the end of the day, and only do bad things when instructed by Afton. Everything I saw, I could respect and understand why they did it. Though there were certainly things that I would change to better convey what they were going for. However, I don’t think that making this movie more appealing to general audiences would have done it any favors, and even if they did, the general audience wouldn’t even appreciate it and just focus on the other things they didn’t understand.

Someone on Reddit commented that "the point of jumpscares is if you fail" and my thought is "well then there should have been jumpscares, because he legit failed as a security guard, he freaking slept"

I think the reason I loved the movie so much is because it’s not based off the games it’s based off of the books and it’s technically an alternate universe😄 I loved it. Thought it was perfect. Edit: okay well no need to be so mean….

11:15 The issues he talks about here kinda bug me like a lot, foxy sang his song like 2 or three times, abby says Hello insanely close to balloon boy, the jumpscare sound while i admit was only used once and was missable but it still is there, the movie was crafted with love and while yes they did miss alot of things and advertising this movie as a horror movie was probably their biggest mistake, it doesnt change the fact that as a movie its still atleast above the midway mark, it just has so much passion behind it. Its not the best cinema and i dont think anyone expected that, it definitely delivered on what I wanted from a fnaf movie, just makes me more excited for a sequel

Also, MatPat's recent video about being in the movie, he let us know that Mark was originally going to be the security guard that died at the beginning ... which I would have loved. I mean ... let's be real, Mark knows how to scream at animatronics ...

I think the “I always come back” line was because he killed those kids and saw how they technically came back and he knows he’s probably gonna die which is why he puts the mask back on. Just speculation but I think he meant like I’ll die but just like these kids it won’t be the end of me type thing

I like that the movie is a bit more “real” like the animatronics acting like kids actually. And I like the whole Vanessa thing even tho some aspects of the story were useless. But the original game just saying sucked in lore aspect so everything here was amazing that the movie offered

Afton makes it very clear he didn't care that much about the brother, He recognized the name, kept him close to see what he knows, and then Afton tells us himself, all he did was tell Vanessa to keep him in the dark and murder him if he learned, Idk a killer that would let someone else kill someone that was their Golden Goose

9:49 the only part in the fnaf movie that actually scared me was the second BB Jumpscare.

*The theater I went to you’d think the movie was a comedy with the amount of laughter there was, also a few people called out Cory’s name which was an awesome feeling.*

As a huge FNAF fan, this movie didn’t disappoint at all. The staying true lore, the hidden details, the references, the characters and the animatronics were all amazing. It felt very nostalgic to me because it feels like I travelled back to 2014 when people had no idea about the franchise. The KZfaqr cameos as well were amazing not only with Cory and MatPat but also the ones on the Employee Of The Month board. Some scenes might be a bit goofy like the fort scene or the pictures being memories but when you rewatch it, you pick up on some hidden details that lead to those plot points and I love that. Btw, most of the animatronic scenes are remote controlled with tech inside, not worn by crew a few times. Relating to the pictures influencing the animatronics, in the beginning of the movie when Mike talks to the doctor she says that pictures and images are the most important tool before we learn how to speak and young children use drawings and pictures to express themselves and that’s how they grow and the souls in the animatronics only do what they do because of the drawings on the wall because they forgot their memories and they’re just kids. They don’t understand what they’re doing. The main drawing is a yellow rabbit with them smiling and when the souls see that, they trust the yellow rabbit aka William Afton and they will follow him because they trust him like a father figure. For the fort scene, Abby is the first kid in 20 years they have scene, a new face and they just want to have fun with her because she’s a kid like them so there’s that background. Now the reason why they wanted to kill her and make her like them is because, most likely not confirmed, William Afton knew about Mike having Abby and he told them, you wanna have a new friend, here’s something to make her like you so you can have her forever so he offers them the springlock Ella suit from the books.

The whole scene when they built the fort, I really liked it, it felt like a stoner comedy lmaooo. It’s goofy and lets fans have they’re little “we’re hanging out together finally” but it also builds anxiety. You know they want Abby, so having them around her and hugging her had me on edge. You know they are evil but Abby is playing with them because that’s how they lure they’re victims. I’ve been watching Markiplier’s Playthru, and even he says the reason why we love the games is because as much as it is scary it’s also funny.

MatPat already showed us who Mark was supposed to be.

The actress who played Max (the babysitter) said some scenes were definitely cut, but because the strike she cannot talk about it at all. She said there was a whole scene to explain why she even went in so there could be extra scenes that are missing that would have added a little more. Editing to add that the Vanessa in Security Breach is also blonde. Also kills off screen fit well with the games too because we never see anything like that on screen in the games except in the 8bit mini games

a thing to note from someone on the book adaptation territory. Often times, when studios are adapting books, it's the hardcore fans that are the most excited to see them. And often times, the book lovers are disappointed because the adaptations change a LOT of the original source to cater to the general public, and then the general public isn't that impressed with it either bc it turns out to be a half-hearted mix of new and old that don't really go together. So I'd much rather studios stick to one idea or the other. Either you're just doing a whole new story in the universe for the gp, with some little nods to the fans, or you stick to the original content for the community. Trying to please both sides without fully commiting to either one just results in a mediocre end product

William said “I always comes back” because he knows what happens if you die in the animatronic suit, he will be able to posses the suit for many years, just like the kids

i absolutely love that their backgrounds aren't just soundproofing lmao, the black walls covered in nerdy decor and fancy lighting feels like they're talking in a nice sit down restaurant for podcasters

It's refreshing to see people say something about the fnaf movie other than "the movie was a masterpiece" or "the movie was hot garbage". It seems like everyone is either on one end or the other with this movie rn

i got into fnaf two days before the movie and i did a huuuge lore bing. i absolutely LOVED the movie simply because of how it made me feel. i also wasn’t expecting spring trap(my favorite character) so his reveal was so cool.

When I went last Thursday on 26th, everyone in the cinema was theorising the entire time and and laughing and crying and just everything. When matpat came on screen we all was like “YEAHHHH”

I like how Jack complained about the animatronics moving and wanting them to teleport like they did in the games, than 5 minutes later complains about how the animatronics teleported around, like man pick a side 😭

I loved watching the FNAF movie (saw it in theatres, then online with friends) but I think Sean and Ethan's criticisms make a lot of sense and made me laugh. I'm just glad the movie exists at all, it was such a surreal experience!

A lot of the elements you're talking about wishing were in the movie ARE included in a fantastic fan film called Night Five. Mike actually does his job of checking the lights and closing the doors. The power goes out and he has to hide from Foxy under the desk. Freddy's has training tapes that the movie's version of Phone Guy records messages on for Mike. He doesn't get the whole lore dumped on him by Vanessa, but figures it out on his own. The animatronics actually sound like they're full of heavy metal parts. In a lot of ways, it's better than the official movie.

i genuinely hope that they make a second movie, 18+ and genuinely scary. i think it'll be so cool

Seeing the movie in theaters is so much better than at home on a tv imo. In the theater the sound and atmosphere is really encompassing, you don’t really get that feeling when you’re just able to watch it on a small screen or tv. I loved the movie as a FNAF fan, but that doesn’t mean looking back I don’t see faults, cause there are many. But it was a fun movie overall and they nailed it with execution and the 1:1 physical suits.

as a longterm fan of the franchise i honestly could not be happier with the movie. you can really see the love for the community and the source material contained within it. i loved it a lot !!!

These are the animatronics the 5 kids are possessing. Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy and Golden Freddy who has Ethan’s sort of hair style and is the first victim out of the 5 original kids.

After seeing both your tweets on twitter (I know it's called X but I refused to call it that) about the movie, I was looking forward to seeing your thoughts in a more lengthy way. There is so many divisive opinions on this movie and I think they're all respectable.

When they were talking about the fnaf scream being a sample from another movie, and that they wished it was in the movie- It is in the movie. It's right when Foxy runs at Max's brother at the door.

I read the novel trilogy, which I actually liked quite a bit, and it was pretty clear to me that the author who worked with Scott on them was doing pretty much ALL the actual story and character stuff. He seems to be good with like, the core ideas, "evil man kills children and stuffs them in animatronics that become haunted", etc. But everything with actual characters and dynamic story beats he just cannot do himself. So hearing he wrote the screenplay and script himself for this movie, that totally tracks with it being so mid.

Fun fact when spiderman (tobey maguire) came out in the UK it was rated 12 and I couldn't go see it as an 11 year old. Shortly after they changed 12 to 12A which meant you could see it with an adult if you were under 12. UK seems to be super strict on film ratings

I went into the theater with my brother (we're both 33), knowing he was pretty blind to the series. That helped me enjoy the film from a blank slate, enjoy easter eggs, and answer what questions he asked in the car on the ride home. Overall, I will get the DVD and watch it again, because I love practical effects, and they worked so dang hard on every prop, set and animatronic. Even if you don't care for the story, games or deep lore, the movie was very pretty for a Halloween or Blumhouse fan to drink in. I did love hearing both of your perspectives, you pointed out stuff I didn't even think of! Like the 'Mike could get framed!' plot hole, and 'I always come back!' Where'd you go, Will? I assume the pillow fort scene is so the robots can convince Abby and Mike that they can be trusted, so that Abby might be more willing to stay with them? It's a cute but nonsensical scene, clearly for childlike wonderment. The blond kid who talks the most is sinister and haunts Golden Freddy. Original Freddy is the kid with the light-colored top hat and light striped shirt. I assume the blonde boy wasn't cosplaying as his favorite character when he passed away, which is why he's not dressed up for a party like the other four. Of course there are flaws abound, because every movie has them, and Mike does stupid things every other minute, the aunt is supposed to be a villain to keep us off Afton's trail I guess? It didn't work, but maybe the door is open to do a FNAF movie based entirely on the third game so William can be *fleshed* out more.

(Spoilers if you haven't watched yet) here are my thoughts on a better like story but perhaps it would ruin some of the lore: Remove aunt all together, don't need her arc to motivate Mike, he is raising a sister on his own that is motivation enough. He already lost a brother, he should be SUPER motivated to take care of and protect his sister. Perhaps Afton has been keeping tabs on them (connection to Henry perhaps?) and being a mentor of sorts, trying to "help" him get jobs but also causing him to loose each one leaving Mike to take the job at Freddy's in desperation. if we need to keep dream sequences have each time he falls asleep he gets glimpses of each kids kidnapping story but you can't see who is doing it until the end. Mike wakes in a panic locked in the chair and needs to escape only to hear his sisters screams and on and on. BUT that also would probably push it past PG-13.

In the beginning one of the people were talking about how children used pictures to communicate and learn before they can speak. So when the wall is nice pictures, that’s all they know. They need to see what really happened from Abby cuz they like her. So i liked the full circle. The pacing was a little slow and I’m only assuming Venessa cleaned up the blood and bodies at Freddie’s idk about the aunt lmao. I totally forgot she even died by the end of it. But golden Freddie appearing in a house is exactly what happens in the 4th game. So he can do that. Also mikes family, the 3 kids is a parallel to Williams family who he killed, some indirectly. So its apart of the lore. Abby=baby Mike: mike Afton Garret: maybe Gregory, which would add so much with Vanessa storyline considering she was trying to kill him in security breach. They used a foxy scream, balloon boy laughing, alarm clock noise from the 3rd or 4th game, but that’s all I remember.

The "Come find me" is reference to the future introduction of Marionette. In the 8 bit games with Marionette, the same exact voice is used. Also, in the classroom scene with Josh and the therapist, Puppet is spelled on the board in the background. *Flies away*

As a die-hard fan from 2014 literally, I was 10 when it came out, and my parents would not let me play it so I would go over to my friend's house just so we'd play it together. This game holds a special place in my heart, and I actually think that the animatronics in this were more realistic than the games because you have to remember that they're just kids tapped in the animatronics. and the only reason they attacked in the games was because Mike supposedly looked like Afton and because they didn't go that route it made sense they didn't in the movie. So I was satisfied, I thought it was great. I do agree however the pacing could've been better, but as Scott's first film I still loved it.

I absolutely love you guys discussing things, i feel like you’re both incredibly respectful and you understand a lot about movies and are so passionate and smart, great episode

I honestly love this podcast so much, it's so fun listening to all the funny and interesting things they talk about every time, all the goofs or more serious topics, it's a great time with Sean and Ethan, been watching them and others for years and their personalities and humor are infectious and right up my alley, so I happily look forward to these every week (along with their individual vids)! Genuinely, thank you!

My experience watching the movie was more of a comedy than horror. Me and pretty much the whole theater was laughing for 90% of the movie. lol... the audience definitely carried the movie for me.

I absolutely loved this movie but I definitely agree it's not the scariest as it can be, it definitely should've given them darker scenes and not fully lit scenes and make them have the white glow eyes in the games, this was a fan service-y movie but not as much as they wanted since they probably wanted this movie to stand on it's own and such I hope they do lean in to the horror aspect more, since thats what made the games so fun imo, make them more scary and use the animatronics in a more scarier scenario, like I feel like in the Springlock scene they probably could've gotten away with some blood here and there to show the full effect of the springlock honestly Overall I think this movie is great, but it's definitely not for everyone lol, my friends loved it and they didn't know much about FNAF so lol

the only thing that everyone in the theater I was in was jumpscared about was literally every time balloon boy showed up 🤣 As an og fan all of the stuff both Ethan and Jack are talking about I agree with, I know a lot of people liked it but overall I was dissapointed ngl I was 9 when fnaf first came out and now im an adult which is kinda crazy

Also i love that ethan is trying to be nice but then Sean is going HAM on this movie and its really funny to watch

It was very apparent to me that it was made for the younger/child FNAF fans. There’s plenty of good scary PG 13 movies without tons of gore and blumhouse is known for doing that well. So to me it’s obvious they wanted it simple, slap you in the face with lore, and child friendly. They had a great cast, great aesthetics, and great production/crew but they lost the plot/character development.

The animatronics were not people in suits Jack! They were actual animatronics made just for the movie

I would love more film discussions on the pod please. So good! Maybe it could be a segment

“What if he finds out his brother is in a different animatronic in the second movie?” The fans: …That’s the set up dude. They play My Grandfather’s Clock right before the voice spells out “COME FIND ME”. That’s a glaring reference to the Marionette from FNAF2. Garret is pretty obviously possessing the Marionette. His story is virtually completely unresolved so that pretty much has to be what’s next.

My quick notes/thoughts.. 1. Just because the aunt looks well off doesn't mean she was.. she could've blown all her money on fancy and expensive things and now she sees Abby as a way to keep up with her spending/lifestyle habits.. 2. What if Garret was the first victim and will be the puppet in the next film?! -- In turn, making Mike's character and the missing little brother/trauma part of the storyline more important and a sort of "laying of groundwork" for the next film..? 3. I agree with most of the same thoughts, feelings, and hopes for future films. I agree that future films should be made more eerie and horror-like. But I also liked the film for what it was. So we'll see what happens next. 🤷‍♀️

It was also confusing that every time the kids were shown in the dream sequence, at least one of their faces was blurred out. It wasn't always the same one. The movie never ever explained that or even commented on it.

“its ok to like shitty movies” monster house being my fave spooky season movie:😃

I don’t think that Scott was trying to subvert expectations, I think he was just writing the story backwards basically. He used the newer games to explain things that happened in the previous

Spoilers Below!! Another thing that I think was a big mistep was the fact that William tried to kill Vanessa. I get that it's supposed to be a slightly different canon to the games but that is a massive shift in personality for William Afton. He is shown, especially in FNaF 4 that despite being completely irredeemable he cares for his children deeply even if he doesn't for other children. You could compare the movie scene to how he wants Michael to travel to Circus Baby Rentals or whatever it's called in Sister Location to save Mike's sister but he only does it as a way to desperately get his daughter out. I like this two sided version not the comic book villain we got in the movie. Still loved Matthew Lillard in the role though

making ethan do the nut ad is so funny lmao

19:34 when he said “I always come back”, he said it like he died before once and came back too life.

I took my boyfriend with me to the movie, but also had him watch all of Matpats lore videos so he'd get it😂 we also discovered we are OLD. We're 21 and 22 but we were immediately like "jeez this is louder than I thought" and we snuck in snacks bc I refuse to pay 20 bucks for popcorn😂 so yeah that was the revelation we had. But we both really enjoyed it, despite some inaccuracies bc we thought it would be more of the games instead of the books

I think the movie is based a little more on the books than the games, which is fine, but I would’ve preferred to have at least one scene of Mike doing his damn job lmao

I want the next movie to be rated R and bloody. That was my only problem. It was very satisfying to see FNAF on camera. I love the knife swipe that Mathew does cuz it’s hinting to scream.

The beginning doesn’t show the cupcake, it shows the shadow of Foxy. The scene Ethan was thinking of is during the break in half-way through.

I'm a fan of FNAF but pacing makes or breaks a movie for me. I just never got fully drawn in. The movie did give us some hilarious Mr. Cupcake scenes so I'm still glad I watched it. My friends' kids love FNAF but from watching KZfaqrs play it. There are a lot of kids that didn't start by playing the first game. Being PG13 meant my friend could watch it and then take them to see it. They enjoyed it and that makes me happy.

watched it with my 11 year old, we enjoyed it. it's corny at times, there's some slow bits and plot holes (did golden poof the aunt's corpse away? did they come home to her dead? how'd they explain that? lol) , but ultimately, as an adaptation of the games it was pretty faithful and the attention to detail in the sets and puppets is incredible. As a mostly family friendly (ish) horror movie it worked well. I don't mind that it's kid friendly, fnaf is one of the horror franchises myself and my son have bonded over and it was delightful to be able to sit and watch the movie with him. He was having a great time pointing out the easter eggs I didn't notice. It was better than I anticipated it would be. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece of theatre, but considering what it COULD have been, i'm pleasantly surprised.

I think the Afton "I always come back" is more of a Scream reference. Its no secret that Matthew loved the role and wanted to insert a callback. He cleans his knife just how Ghostface does in every movie and one of the other lines was a dramatic "ill be back" so it could be a half and half thing

The laugh I laughed when Jack said that FNAF is as convoluted as KH. He’s not wrong.

i really liked it, hope for a second one, i will watch it again never played the game just from watching Mark and Matpat play the games, i know some of the lore etc, but i liked it, it did its job, for me the ending part of the movie was the best part, i was hoping to be longer, sad to not see Mark in it, but really cool to see Matpat and saying his line lol,

It took me 6 hours after watching the movie to realise that Mike actually spent Five Nights At Freddy's in the movie 😂

The main kid we see with the striped shirt is golden freddy, the foxy transition kid is a different blonde boy 36:10

Movie lore is always different from game lore, so the lore is different in a lot of ways in the movie. And I personally think that William Afton/Mathew Lillard in the movie for a short amount of time was a good thing since he is mainly known as spring trap once he gets spring locked. So in the second and third movie we are going to see a lot more of him, and a lot more gore in general. I will have to admit it wasn't as scary as I was hoping for, I can agree with that. But it definitely will get more intense with each movie. But the animatronics did have programming to move on their own on a basic level. foxy was the only one who had to have more programming to the point they couldn't put it as a suit as well, Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy were both animatronics and could also be worn as a costume. Just like it would have been when the restaurant was open in the game perspective, because the animatronics were able to move around give kids food and just genuinely walk around (as costumes like Matthew was using the golden Bonnie suit in the movie) And move on their own as animatronics with the programming up on stage, which were the times they 'costumes' of the animatronic had the endoskeletons in them. But overall, I love seeing their perspective anyway, they always make it funny even when it's something I disagree on which I love. Stay leaky everyone ❤

“I don’t like how they showed them move” “I don’t like how they teleport” Bruh make up your mind. Also Golden Freddy can teleport but Abby definitely can’t, that’s why they needed the taxi.

I agree with a lot of the things you two discussed, even though I liked the movie. It definitely had its flaws, but I thought it was still good for hardcore fans who have been waiting for years for this. The “I always come back” was so cringy (and probably confusing to the average viewer) but it made me laugh, that line alone kinda shows what/who the movie was made for. I heard the second film was already in pre-production and they’re changing some stuff they already had in mind due to feedback. Good on them for listening :) One of the biggest positive things I have: Originally I thought Vanessa was one of the strangest decisions of this movie, to move her from Security Breach to FNAF 1, I didn’t even think about it just being an Easter egg and I would’ve believed that if she didn’t tell us she’s an Afton. Personally, I think it makes sense that Vanny is not literally being controlled by whatever crazy VR stuff (that lore is weird imo) but she’s just attached to her dad + trauma from her childhood.

So I saw it in theaters and I am not joking you there is a bite shown on screen and all of us whether quietly or not so quietly went "was that the bite of 87" and despite not knowing anyone else there we all just started laughing. There was a loud approval and some clapping when Mat Pat said the thing and there was a collective eye roll at the "twist". Would have been a better twist if they didn't reveal it in the casting announcements BEFORE THE MOVIE RELEASED but even if you know nothing of the lore of the games, it's not super surprising because the hints are a little in your face. Most all of us stayed til the movie credits were completely done just in case there was a teaser or code or something like that and there is. We all went dead silent at the atari style spelling, trying to spell it out in our heads. It was a great experience and given that I live in a fairly small city, there were a lot of older teens and a couple of older kids seeing the movie. It was nice to be surrounded by people that also love this dumpsterfire of a series!

Being mad about spoilers for a movie that is based on a game, and only the people who have played it or watched Let's Plays of it will want to see, is a bit wild to me But that's just me

Scott's made it pretty clear that he's only made one retcon and I don't think he's lying or he has been changing things to try and subvert expectations. But I can definitely understand why some people think he has done that.

I'd love to see them look at theories for the next movie and stuff, I feel like it would be really fun

I feel like the movie works if you look at it like a multiverse thing and this is just one version of how FNAF happened. Just a little something for fun. (Though i wish we had more creepy stuff with the kids and Afton. Like maybe when Mike was doing his dreaming stuff caught glimpses of the deaths of the kids and not just his brother's kidnapping. But whatever.)

I’m currently at 20:05 and “I always come back,” thinking from a regular viewer putting pieces together standpoint, Vanessa did say that her dad always comes back to kill people who knows about fnaf’s secret to keep them quiet. So that could be implying that he’ll always be out to get you rather than just a lore standpoint

That movie was *PERFECT.*

They specifically made Vanessa's character in the movie be EXACTLY like security breach Vanessa

Oh my god, thank you Sean and Ethan for that amazing idea! Mark should totally make a short video about Foxy and Chica doing exactly that: Foxy singing, Chica doing whatever she does, and then all sorts of weird stuff happens!

TO BE HONEST BOYS- yeah I didn't watch y'all for a couple a weeks for the sake of not wanting spoilers to the movie. But I literally watched it Friday night since it's now after 1 am CDT Sunday. And yeah you guys had other episodes that didn't mention FNAF but I just wanted a clean no social media period experience leading up to me finally seeing it. I would say I actually LOVED the movie- Idk what rating I would give it other than the fact that I have been a fan of the games since I was in 4th grade and now I'm 18(graduated in May this year). I turned my brain off and watched it like most of the fans- but started crying a few times because how Abby was scratching that itch on how she treated the animatronics bc it would be the way I I would have treated them bc all they are, are just children. And they didn't deserve what was given to them by Afton. I feel like in the movie they kinda just threw bits and pieces of all the games into it regardless of the layout being the first game. Now what made me scream WTF through my house and everyone hearing it was the fact that Vanessa said she was Afton's daughter💀 when we all know it was Elizabeth who got killed by Baby. So I think Scott was kinda screwing with us(as we all know he loves doing that.) I will say Bonnie giving the thumbs up when he fell was actually funny, I laughed at that out loud cuz I thought it was cute and it was kinda satire🤣. I was confused at the beginning when we saw Matthew Lillard as whatever tf the name was at first bc I was like, "oh I thought he was gonna be Afton" so it threw me off(I think that was Scott's intention) and then saw him at the end. I love that they showed him twitching as he was getting crushed within SpringTrap...but where's the blood pooling like in the third/fourth- can't remember. But the timeline made no sense(we all know Scott always made it so the timeline made no sense so he could see us Gremlins as his fans really fry our brain with figuring out the lore.) But I took note at the beginning of the movie when he was proposing the night shift that he wanted him(other than killing his brother and connecting the dots of recognizing the name) was bc his oldest Son's name is Micheal so maybe in his own sick delusions it was like him being reminded of his son. But it also makes sense bc Afton had 2 sons and a daughter- well he killed(Fredbear/golden freddy) his youngest and then killed Elizabeth(Baby) his middle son I think just those 3 characters aligns with the real storyline even though they have VERY different names. That's my overall review and comment on the movie. So I think I would give it a 9/10 bc so many things were just weird and REALLLYYYY got screwy. And Ethan, you're right the dialogue was awkward- there were lots of captain obvious points- I loved Mike's sarcasm when he asked Abby if the animatromos were ghosts and she said "mhm" it was just the sarcastic "ok." That kinda made me giggle bc it's all very relatable. I kinda liked the bite of 83 recreation with Max getting chewed in half. But honestly those guys kinda got what they deserved- bc it really made me mad on how they disturbed the kids' peace bc WHY TF. And disturbed their peace so VIOLENTLY so I laughed as I was watching them get killed cuz it was very well deserved. I kinda felt it was unfair for Max bc she didn't wanna be any part of it. So yes 9/10 coulda been a teensy🤏🏼 bit better with dialogue and storyline but such a good movie that I would recommend😌🤌🏼

I give the movie a solid 8 out of 10 but I’m definitely biased haha, I’m very happy with what we got and I don’t mind the mixed reactions really, its a fine movie that I thought was amazing! Then again it doesn’t take much to make me happy, and I’ve heard that Scott is paying attention and listening to some criticism and feedback from fans to adapt into the second movie. So I’m hoping it will tie up some loose ends from the first movie, but in the meantime, this is now one of my favourite comfort movies :)

i really liked the movie, i think its a good intro to fnaf for beginners. Theres alot of cheeky easter eggs for the fnaf fans, but its an amalgamation of ALL of the lore with a loose storyline based off the first book. I think they did a good job to hook more fnaf fans. Matthew lillard stated he signed a 3 movie deal so theres more to come!

I think the weirdest thing about the movie to me is the utter lack of explanation for Golden Freddy? He just... shows up looking almost indistinguishable from regular Freddy except for some damage. I know the movie was made more for people who were already fans, but I feel like most other stuff was introduced ok for newcomers.

The fact that you guys talked about kingdom hearts made my life !!! The fact you even know about it's existence is great ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ugh *IT WAS CLEARLY MADE FOR KIDS AND MY PRE-TEENS LOVEDDDDD IT!*

Imagine a six-part show, each its own night...

okay one thing I will mention (while not really a fan of it myself) is that Golden Freddy appearing at the house CAN make sense because it's very suggested in the games that he's just entirely a ghost and not a physical animatronic. so he kinda is on his own rules. but I totally agree the rest of them jumping around like that was odd

I understand why you'd want to see less of the animatronics for spooky reasons, but honestly the Jim Henson company did such a good job making them that Im almost happy they chose not to go that route. They absolutely should have had spring trap lurking in a couple scenes though, that would have been dope
