Back in my day we shipped Foxy with bitches like Chica and Mangle, and shid even the puppet.
Foxy was the sigma Fox which is why he sits by himself. He's so sigma Fazbear ent. Had to give him his own stage on the other side of the map, so he wouldn't slap Chica's ass right in front of Freddy Fazcuck and Bon-sissy.
You already know he's dark triad too just because he's a pirate so he's automatically a robopussy magnet.
Shit I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't already tie up Freddy and Bonnie on the plank while he made them watch him absolutely destroy Chica's robussy with his supreme canine rod and spit on them too reminding Freddy who's the true boss of Fazworld
I can imagine he's already had a orgy with Mangle, Chica, and Roxy already, and bitch slapped Monty with his canine rod showing him who's the alpha around these parts
Darn Foxy is such a hecking Chad.

Foxy is such a chad, Fazbear ent. had to resort to Robot segregation, and excluding him out of the Glamrock animatronic lineup or else he would have stolen all the animatronicussy and made the other male glamrocks sad and depressed, and they all would have had anger issues like Monty, while Monty becomes like an actual school shooter they have to put down
>>
>>540318616
When I was little, like a week or two when fnaf first came out Foxy was my favorite because he seemed like the sad torn-up underdog which I really liked, also for a bit before I heard the characters names I thought Foxy was a kangaroo, has anyone here seen The Mighty Bee? There was this episode where the sidekick stole this Kangaroo animatronic from a CEC style restaurant, that was my first and only exposure to animatronic stuff before fnaf came out, it makes me wonder if I had never watched that episode would I have ever gotten into fnaf?
Whenever I look at those old camera renders with foxy it just fills me with nostalgia.
Chica is my favorite now though.

Now that the dust has settled, what was Aftons motive?
>>
>>540322797
For me, ever since I was a kid, I've had a fear of puppets. Maybe it was because I watched Chucky when I was like 6 or 7
Or maybe it was because I had weird experiences with dolls in the past, like a doll turning on its voicebox by itself when I was alone at home.
I also somehow hallucinated/dreamt about the PBS kids mascot entering my room at night while I was and I recall it giving me major uncanny vibes.
Ever since I was a child I've had beef with puppet things, I was even afraid of the Chuck E Cheese Mascot.
Funny enough just before I discovered fnaf I had a dream about being locked in a department clothing store at night, hiding away from creatures that looked like grimace from McDonald's in the racks.
Then a few days later I saw my first fnaf video thumbnail but I didn't click on it because it reminded me too much of my nightmare.
My first fnaf video was a minecraft map played by DanTDM that then eased me into actually watching the real gameplay and then I feel into a deviantart rabbithole.
I used to love browsing deviant art for Foxy x Chica ships, before I unfortunately fell into the rabbit hole of rule 34 running my childhood

Okay so there are generally three possibilities.
1. From the very beginning he knew about Remnant and other shit and wanted immortality.
2. Although he didn't exactly care about his children - he still saw them as his toys. The moment that Henry's robot killed C.C he was put into rage over Henry breaking his stuff and decided to start fucking up his life. At the same time this caused him to find out about remnant and try to basically create himself both a perfect family to stroke his ego and gain immortality to avoid hell.
3. If GodDavid theory was actually true and he was trying to make C.C into David then he has to had some greater design in mind but we have no idea what that was. Because it would seem that at first he wanted to make C.C into David for... some reason, and then started to try and fix C.C when he was killed not wanting to let his pet project go to waste. The question of "why" he was doing that we still have no answer to.

I generally don't like the answer of "He was just killing kids" because that is something that is fitting for FNAF 1-4 but not after SL where he is portrayed as a mad scientist. William might be sociopathic as fuck but I just don't see him murdering children for the lulz with how methodical he was with planning his experiments and shit. William seems like a guy who has some greater motive in mind even if he is an evil bastard.

+From the Pit kind of implies that he seems to have some care about family live (I know that the Pit Keeper is not literally him but it still feels at least somewhat representative of him), that and the Ballora song showing that at least his wife seemed to give a shit about him and that he changed in some way becoming more isolated from everyone else.
>>
>>540325178
Imo just a depraved freak who discovered he could continue to fuck with his victims in an occult way and became fascinated with it. Pre sister location he is a lot creepier because it seems like he kills for pleasure and the supernatural component just makes it better for him

I feel like keeping him like a michael myers-esque figure would have been better for the series in the long run too.
A faceless killer with no interpretable personality

Sister Location is exactly kind of why I just can't see him like this. Him being a depraved freak that just liked murdering children was probably Scott's initial intention, but I'm not sure if that was the case after SL or even FNAF4. Generally Serial Killers kind of do serial killing as a side thing to their life, not focus their entire life work upon it to the point where they start using companies as a way to fuck with their victims.

If William was just some random CEO who murdered children on the side while still trying to run his business that would be one thing, but he literally creates a whole sock-puppet operation specifically to kidnap children, run long-term experiments and fuck with soul science to an insane extent. He puts way too much fucking effort into this for me to believe that he does this just for fun. That might be me just coping that Scott is a better writer than I give him credit for.
>>
>>540332808
>but he literally creates a whole sock-puppet operation specifically to kidnap children, run long-term experiments and fuck with soul science to an insane extent
Now this adds a whole new layer to his motivations. What is his motivation for trying to play god?
>>
>>540328494
>I just don't see him murdering children for the lulz with how methodical he was with planning his experiments and shit
That's the thing. Pre-SL he didn't use crazy shit like luring animatronic technology, and was just doing typical slasher shit in a fur suit.
If SL predates fnaf 2 it doesn't make sense to switch up from high tech and industrial scale abduction back to slashing shit, and literally dumping the bodies into the animatronics sloppily with no special equipment, to the point that blood and mucus was oozing from the suits, and perhaps even mangled body parts deeper inside the suit mechanism.
This vastly different killing methods, still have me convinced that original trilogy purple guy is an entirely different character from the post sister location iteration.
Perhaps you consider it a purple guy from another dimension or universe, or an in-universe copycat
But I refuse to believe that post Sister Location events and Originally trilogy events are from the same timeline no matter how hard Scott tries to "put the pieces" together
>>
Also it reminds me how after SL dropped I noticed that a lot of the Purple Guy stans in the fandom straight up disappeared. The vincent fags literally were reduced to ashes
>>
>>540331073
Interesting to think of how different the series would be if Freddy or Puppet became the main villain and the killer was just an offscreen character.

>I made you ungrateful little beasts!
>First I killed them, then I kill you symmetry my friend *proceeds to backhand Michael across the room
Sure that's a man motivated by getting his kid back

Also to me at least in the context of 1-3 it doesn't make sense that he's using the MCI to gain immortality when he just left them in the Classic animatronics suits, is still running around in a old ass bunny suit still dicking around in the pizzeria risking his life at the whim of the now possesed animatronic mood swings
it took this man decades to realize the reason the animatronics got reanimated was because of ghosts/spirits, and he would have to kill him self to give off the appearance of immortality?
Why hasn't he tried injecting himself with remnant to "live forever" and fuck off from Freddy's? Living forever to escape hell is a shit motivation because you are still not invincible as evident by the fnaf 3 minigame.
What would Willy do after he gains immortality? Kill more fucking kids? Become Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees?
>>
>>540367790
On top of that Willy's line of reason and logic is dumb.
He hadn't discovered remnant until after he started killing kids, and why?
>He's grieving over his dead kids so he is going to create more dead kids that aren't even related to him
Like wtf is that reasoning?
Also I find it highly implausible that Sister Location exists in the OG trilogy timeline for another reason. If the classics, withered's and Funtimes are possessed by the MCI how does William ever get to transfer the spirits over to the funtimes if he dies in the same week on the fifth night that he dismantles the animatronics. And it can't be that he let Michael finish his work because by the time Michael starts working at Sister Location the Funtimes were already possessed by the MCI bar from Baby/Elizabeth

I think it would have pretty much ended at 3 or 4, with 4 having no ties to Crying Child and instead an actual reveal to the bite of 87'
Still inetivably the series would be rebooted or remade.
I think by the 3 or 4th movie Scott was already in talks with movie studios so I don't think it's implausible that in this timeline he asks for a triple A studio to remaster the games sometime in 2016-18
Then maybe Scott makes a bunch of crazy fnaf spin offs like he said he would
And fnaf maintains popularity.
Perhaps all of the post sister location characters don't exist, or perhaps we even get a super fnaf game located in an actual theme park this time sometime in the 2020s rather than HW, SB and SotM

To be fair, I think it was never the idea that William stuffed them, it was always supposed to be the puppet.

>>540372518
Sideshow Bob failing to murder a single child while Afton kills em by the dozen.
>>
>>540370159
I'm just convinced that between 3/4 and 4/SL Scott just got a different idea for William that he liked more and switched them around. You can see it in the novels where William goes from a crazy murderer who is obsessed with Freddy to the CEO as well as a mad scientist.

Scott just went "Yo, I know I made the murderer to be a random guy that kills children but wouldn't it be cool if he was actually more than that? Wouldn't it be cool if he was actually the CEO? Or what if he has some greater purpose in mind."

And I do agree that William basically became more interesting this way but it also created some inconsistencies.
>>
>>540373621
Still though that implies that William left the bodies somewhere in the Pizzeria unattended, and didn't store them in his super duper secret lab.
Even then if you take the give gifts give life minigame into the scenario all the puppet is doing is giving the already slumped over animatronics some kind of gift. It's can't be said for certain that she stuff the kids in there either. >>540373460
The problem is he didn't even know about possession until after he started killing kids. So what was his motivation for killing kids in the first place?
>>
>>540374293
Unironically people dont like this answer but I figured Afton was like a legit pedophile like some serial killers (Gacy)
He opened up a child friendly establishment to prey on children and gain the trust of communities.

That's dubious both with pre-Steelwool lore but now even doubly so with Secret of the Mimic. In pre-Steelwool lore it was still implied that Fredbear already started acting up after C.C was killed. Even if we ignore that, William could have simply tried to ruin Henry's reputation in revenge (It's his robot that killed his son after all) - close his pizzeria or kill Charlie for the sake of "Balancing the scales" and learn about posession this way.

But with White Tiger and Moon now running around there are other sources from which he could have learned about it.
>>
>>540374553
That's one thing that Scott confirmed is not the case though.
>>
>>540374737
Natural I think he'd have to due to the average age of the fnaf fan.
If the average age was like 14 back then he'd pretty much be forced to start drawing some lines especially with a fandom with so many kids.
Now if the average fnaf fan was 25 or 30 then I think he would not have went out of his way to exclude that kind of content or motivation or silence those theories about the killer due to the maturity of the audience.
And the fact he still has kids playing fnaf games for him it probably doesn't sit right with him to make the antagonist a pedophile
So he kind of had to go out of his way to silence those Purple Guy is a Purple Pedo comments out of a moral obligation/neccesity

Perhaps maybe Scott would try different continuities, he would make a remake for fnaf 1 for each continuity, OG 2014 fnaf, William Afton era fnaf 1, and Steel Wool Studios ers fnaf 1
>>
If William is motivated by bringing his son back to life then why didn't he? He discovered remnant and seemed to have a good grasp of how posession worked by the time he started fucking around with the mci remnant so why didn't he just put all of his remnant into a robot kid or something?
What, did he want full on "return life to his corpse" necromancy for him and wasn't satisfied with bringing him back as a robot? He doesn't seem like the type to be bothered by that
>>

Knowing how genius he is it's surprising he couldn't just make a life like cyborg/andriod replica of CC like Henry did with Charlie

Anon, the truth is - FNAF was never scary, it was a series of games about sitting around and doing tedious tasks until a cartoon character screams at you. I also just think ghost stories are not scary in general, the moment you humanize the threat to such an extent they just stop being scary to begin with.

>>540443693
I don't know man, I still feel like the juxtaposition of there being actually two characters in one is too much of a hurdle for me. I would prefer if it were more like fnaf 1, where the paranormal nature of the ghost kids were revealed in abnormalities in the faces of the animatronics and what not, rather than a ghost face actually pop up from the screen.
>>
Yo, what if the third fnaf movie is the Halloween Ends of the movie series, where Springtrap is actually extremely weak but Willy's spirit is looking for a successor to him and ends up successfully grooming Michael or Vanessa to become a Vanny like character
>>
>>540444240
I feel like that’s how it sort of works anyway? The kids merely animate the personality of the animatronic and bring it to life. I get what you mean like freddy being the sinister ringleader of whatever murderous gang the characters are being lost as time went on (the actual original animatronic barely moving the plot and not even being that relevant later on). At the same time, the idea that the kids aren’t that sentient and are just magic the characters evil and magic is still there

>I feel like that’s how it sort of works anyway?
It used to be that way in the 2014 games but afterwards we got none of that and now the most similar thing we have to it now is the ghost kid popping up for a second like the Ghost kid for Foxy in the movie or Charlie in UCN.
>At the same time, the idea that the kids aren’t that sentient and are just magic the characters evil and magic is still there
This was actually the case back in the day but because of fnaf music artists that popularized the ghost kids being the driving force of the animatronics with personalities that later seeped into the franchise to the point where that's literally how the animatronics are characterized in the movies.
And I get it, it seems to be a bit to awkard to justify the existence of killer animatronics that move on their own without somekind of paranormal explaination but still.
I wish that as the series went on and the franchise started gaining more net worth that they would add more sfx and vfx for the animatronics but they drifted away from the artistic direction of 2014 to something else.
>>
>>540445527
I see where you are coming from, especially in regard to the movie. But I think it’s probably because this concept just confuses people more than anything- there are spirits inhabiting, or at least there is some supernatural impetus to the animatronics created by child murder. Most people would instantly just think of a ghost trapped in a machine and controlling it. The idea that the spirits are just giving some sort of supernatural force to the character and making it “real” is a bit esoteric since you have both the animatronic character and its personality and the spirit of the child at the same time. Sorry if this is garbled i’m really tried, but most people would just gravitate toward the ghost controlling it and the idea that the ghost is merely expressing the personality of the machine in a way that is more animated than it should be is confusing. I do feel like as you’re saying, a lot was lost moving away from that since it makes the animatronics less like characters since the kids barely have any personality. Freddy went from the leader of the gang to just some kid we know nothing about who is scared and angry, like all the others. Chica went from some obese glutton to again just some kid.

>>540445527
Also I will add that there is a common widespread misconception among the fandom and even perhaps the creator himself, is that animatronics are the same thing as robots. Perhaps this was lost in translation due to years of fan projects and simply Scott forgetting.
The reason, why the animatronics moving is supposed to be weird is because in real life they are basically just dolls with voiceboxes, and maybe a few automated levers and fulcrums to give the illusion of movement.
An animatronic isn't supposed to be moving on its own, hence why some Fnaf songs emphasize in their lyrics "These things are moving on their own" because it's not natural for animatronics to do so.
On another topic with how many people and kids criticize chuck e cheeses for getting rid of their animatronics would also be the first ones to complain that Chuck E Cheese isn't cool because they get their understanding of animatronics from SFM memes where they move around just like android. They have no understanding of what an actual animatronic is like.
So many times you'll see in fnaf meme animations that the animatronics are moving fluidly and coherently as if they were autonomous.
Robots are actual artificial autonomous humanoids. They are capable of being programed to move by themselves.
I feel like later on in the series the animatronics starting from Sister Location stop being animatronics and start behaving more like robots/androids. By the time of Security Breach/SotM it becomes blatantly obvious that the animatronics are no longer actual mechs but full blown androids from the future. The fact they are still called animatronics post-Security Breach is just a marketing thing at this point.
Baby is capable of having full blown conversations and is coherent and elicit, Ennard although he may be possessed by the MCI moves fluidly on it's own, the Glamrocks and the Mimic straight up move on their own will power by design.
>>
>>540446905
According to UCN and AR both are probably Agony beings.
>>
>>540447485
I wish the concurrent animatronics behaved more like those ones you see in fan made VHS tapes.
In contrast to what we saw in UCN, SL, SB, and SotM where the animatronics are able to form their own unique coherent sentences using artificial intelligence or ghost kid paranormal powers, I'd rather them play their unaltered prerecorded voicelines, at random moments with deadpan expressions, and even having them make exaggerated facial expressions at unexpected moments, making you constantly doubt if these things are really just inanimate objects or sentient.
But I feel the sense of uncanniness is unfortunately lost on the newer generations of FNaF who are used to the animatronics being coherent, and well-spoken like in their source film maker youtube videos, and in Security Breach.
If this approach was done today the appeal would be lost for all except the people who watch VHS tapes on youtube.

>the idea that the ghost is merely expressing the personality of the machine in a way that is more animated than it should be is confusing.
Yeah, I agree especially considering that the kids that were assigned to each suit were just random kids with no affiliation to the character. It would make more sense for the character's personality to be exaggeratedly animated if FNaF went for a Garten of BanBan/Bendy and the ink machine approach.
But I think the ghosts or the paranormal force being Kid's takes too much away from the characters themselves.
Back in the day you would say the Foxy was the shy and explosive one of the group. Now a days all you hear is people talk about how Foxy's Ghost Kid has the traits that people would previously give Foxy and it's so frustrating to see the franchise get watered down like this.
Sure, you have the Glamrocks but they are just way too animated, literate and sentient to be scary, they are more fitting to be SFM character models than actual fnaf horror models. The fact that they are designed this way takes away the uncanny horror factor that the OG animatronics had.
And it's not like the glamrocks personalities are deeply developed or even have deep character development aside from the minimal treatment Roxy and Freddy got, and even Glamrock Freddy is more like a glorified tutorial chatbot rather than a character himself. The only character change he has is at the end of the night where he out of the blue starts agree with Greggory that there is something going on in the Pizzaplex, with no proper development for him to reach such a conclusion.

The glamrocks can be scary when given the right treatments from Gregory's hands. Shattered Roxy, Shattered Monty, etc. Even the way Glamrock Chica moves is unsettling. She walks like a zombie. And of course there is Moondrop who is already scary enough in my opinion. Pic related is from Help Wanted 2 but you get my point.

I don't think fans would take it too well if the movies held off on having William as a major character just to have him be a side character again as Springtrap.

>Tragedy is a part of horror.
But in my opinion tragedy inflicted on robots/inanimate objects doesn't hit as hard as it does with living beings.
Like you see it countless times in fiction. It doesn't matter how many times a robot gets critically damaged, they can always get repaired or "revived" with a flash drive. You can't do that with a biological character

>>540561373
Honestly I prefer it that way than committing the same mistake of continuing after the third game. Just end the Afton saga end in 3 and introduce the Funtimes as the final antagonists along with Springtrap. They can make it work. I guess the only thing left is how to start the Mimic saga, I guess it would be with Security Breach, Ruin and whatever comes after it that isn't a prequel.

How do you think they're going to deal with the Mimic in the possible upcoming games? He still seems to be strong enough to destroy basically anyone and anything standing in his way, but do you think he possesses the same abilities as when he was still M2, like near indestructibility and shapeshifting? I mean, he's probably been rebuilding himself from scratch for an indefinite amount of times, so I doubt there's anything remaining from his original body at this point. Also, how possible do you think it is they'll reference his Glitchtrap/Burntrap persona ever again?

New Matthew Lillard FNAF2 interview https://people.com/matthew-lillard-reveals-how-skeet-ulrich-got-five-nights-at-freddys-role-11819819

on Skeet Ulrich as Henry Emily
>“When Scott [Cawthon] was considering who to cast for this role that Skeet’s in, he started looking around and considering who — sort of a middle-aged man,” Lillard tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, referring to the creator of the original Five Nights at Freddy’s game.
>Lillard, 55, went on to recall Cawthon asking him, “What’s Skeet like to work with? How is he as a guy?" to which he responded with something along the lines of, “He’s a dream. He’s the sweetest man around. He’s talented, and he cares deeply about fans.”
>“I think that both of us approach fandom with love and admiration and appreciation,” the actor explains.
>And I think that really speaks to Scott, because he has that same affiliation with his fans. I think that’s one of the reasons he brought in Skeet. And I think Skeet knocked it out of the park. He’s fantastic in the film, and I’m excited for people to see it," continues Lillard.

on how FNAF2 improves on the first movie
>As for what fans can expect? For starters, Lillard teases that Cawthon and the film’s director, Emma Scott, “listened to what fans had to say,” which was to ultimately make the sequel even scarier than the first installment
>“We want more jump scares,” he emphasizes. “We want to sit in the audience and not only get lore from the world, we want to be filled with feelings. We want to feel the movie like we felt the game.”
>Adding that he recently saw the film himself, Lillard gave it his stamp of approval. “I think they did an incredible job executing on that,” he says. “And I think the fans are going to lose their minds. I think the movie is really fantastic.”

Rewatching, the movie I realized how quiet the animatronics really are. Not a single voiceline from them other than mechanical whirring.

Why can't we have cool official content for the Freddy and Friends?
Despite being friends allegedly Freddy and Co have no character dynamics with each other, bar the fact they are allied in getting revenge on Afton.
The characters feel so bland when portrayed by official media, and on the other hand they feel so corny and unserious when portrayed by fan media, if they don't just copy the existing official material.
Why have a band of killer robots in the first place if none of them even have a proper character dynamics/relationships with each other? They don't even acknowledge the existence of each other, except in rare occasions like in Security Breach, maybe World, and UCN to an extent

TBF if the animatronics were actually intelligent enough to speak at all, the plot of Fnaf goes down the drain because then they wouldn't just be gunghoing any random adult they find.
Although I would prefer a more campy fnaf than one that tries to take itself seriously
>>
>>540671771
The only way they can justify being killer animatronics that are just looking for revenge is as if they were evil, or if they were say, groomed to be evil. By a certain golden rabbit, or perhaps even puppet.
But that character development is never ever shown
>>
>>540666245
I mean that was always kind of a thing in FNAF. I geniuently don't know what people saw in the old FNAF story because it was so lacking in details that I don't understand how anyone got attatched to those characters. Because they aren't even really characters, they're just props without any personality.

Also, I don't get how the MCI are upset being inconvenienced by being trapped at Freddy's
Sure, it might suck being dead, but you are literally living as the mascots you like so much, and you basically get to live at a really cool kid's place, that you would maybe only be taken to on weekend's for 1 or 2 hours when you were alive.
Shit I'd be rocking the freddy/foxy cosplay the entire time. Sure, it'd probably get old after a while
But their motivations for wanting to kill is kind of weak without deeper explanation.
Maybe they see it as a children's game in their eyes?
Maybe they are just bored and want to make more people become like them and become pizzeria hobos?
Just dumbing down the intellect of the MCI/Freddy gang to instincts just feels like a cop out for actually developing their characters.
Freddy and co clearly aren't mindless killers with a lack of an ulterior motive like Michael Myers, so I don't get why the crew is never fleshed out properly.

>>540673273
>I genuinely don't know what people saw in the old FNAF story
I believe as some guy said at a point in time, it was simply a unique concept at the time and people fell in love with the idea of FNaF but not the actual games, hence why you see so much fan made content online.
Killer doll/robot animals trapped in a certain location is a unique concept that wasn't executed well in practice, but the idea caught on. I think the lack of personalities also felt more inviting/approachable to people who want to write fan fictions to make the characters however they'd like them kind of like they have sandbox elements to them.
It's just frustrating to see that despite amassing more money giving him the allowance to create a game with a bigger budget and scope, Scott is still doing the same old barebones story that he did in 2014 with Security Breach, HW, and to a lesser extent SotM.
I wish more game entries had at least the same level of writing as SotM, which isn't a high standard but it's better than what we've been getting the past decade.
>Technically in the movie they are acting evil because Afton manipulates their memories.
That's another thing about fnaf. There are way too many major events that happen off-screen that are told post-humously and in third person, or in a pixelated cutscene/mini-game with extremely simplistic elements. The weird thing about Fnaf is that it wants to tell a story but it always wants to tell you what happened way after the fact, and not show you in a sequence that can be used to build a plot with more emotional stakes.
It's so frustrating to hear time and time again "The bad man pretended to be a friendly mascot and killed kids, and now they haunt the pizzeria and want to kill anyone they think is their killer" but never actually get to see the sequence of those things playing out.
>>
>>540676749
I want to actually see the events playout, and see how the MCI as characters, react to their situation, and how they emotionally feel about their situation.
>>540676389
Let's think about it. Why would the MCI be mad that they are dead, but still conscious in the place of their dreams? Unless they are facing some type of purgatory scenario where they feel pain and agony every second, I can't imagine them having the drive to want to kill any night guard they find while literally living in a kino fun entertainment center.
Sure, they may want to get their lick back at the guy who killed them but it doesn't make sense why they'd want to kill anyone other than whoever is wearing the golden rabbit suit.
The fact that they are aware the dude who killed them was wearing spring bonnie's suit and they still try to kill any adult on sight is mad. Of course you have the movie thing of Willy messing with their memories but the games don't have that sub-plot.
Imo it would make more sense for the MCI to put aside revenge and just enjoy living their lives at the pizzeria
Of course they may miss their friends and parents, but at this point the MCI may as well be orphans because in every single entry in the franchise, the MCI's parents are mysteriously absent from the story.

>Sure, it might suck being dead, but you are literally living as the mascots you like so much,
Isn't it implied to be pretty painful with Chica's whimpering breathing?
> and you basically get to live at a really cool kid's place, that you would maybe only be taken to on weekend's for 1 or 2 hours when you were alive.
Which is closed for most of the time, where you can do no stuff that you want to do and are forced to be the entertainment robot and sing the same stupid songs for years - and even then no one would want to be murdered to be stuck in Chuckie Cheese.
>But their motivations for wanting to kill is kind of weak without deeper explanation.
I think that's a remnant (pun not intended) of the first game that was supposed to be a simple ghost story with the fact that the murderer was originally said to have been caught and punished. Then afterwards it just became "They're killing adults in rage mistaking them for Afton/thinking that all adults are like William" which is kind of morally dubious in its own right. Wish the story acknowledged it somehow, just having the ghosts apologize in one way or the other saying that they feel bad for what they did in their blind rage would be enough.
"What I have done is terrible, and I hope that the people who I killed can forgive me"
>Just dumbing down the intellect of the MCI/Freddy gang to instincts just feels like a cop out for actually developing their characters.
I will agree that it is a cop out - the biggest crime FNAF committed was giving us very visually distinct characters and giving them no personality besides very vague traits. We know literally nothing about the personality of Freddy or Bonnie, and Chica's personality is that she likes food I guess while Foxy is just a pirate. There is a reason for why people still talk about Security Breach characters even in spite of the flaws of the game. To be honest, Chica is still just "I want food" but still.

>Killer doll/robot animals trapped in a certain location is a unique concept that wasn't executed well in practice, but the idea caught on. I think the lack of personalities also felt more inviting/approachable to people who want to write fan fictions to make the characters however they'd like them kind of like they have sandbox elements to them.
I guess so, to be honest for me the premise got boring real fast once I realized that "Oh it's just ghosts" and "Oh we know literally nothing about the killed children or the murderer" which is why I actually got into the series again when we started learning about both. Say what you want about games post FNAF4 but I think it's actually not an unnatural way to expand on the story. What FNAF 1-4 gave us was definitely not enough to make a long-running series out of, as it literally had basically no characters (aside from FNAF4) or plot beats that weren't basic as fuck. Expanding on the murderer and people surrounding him was a good idea in my mind. I think that Sister Location was supposed to explain the motive (either William trying to bring back his son or just chasing immortality depending on if you think SparkVictim makes sense) and add more stuff to continue off of.
> It's just frustrating to see that despite amassing more money giving him the allowance to create a game with a bigger budget and scope, Scott is still doing the same old barebones story that he did in 2014 with Security Breach, HW, and to a lesser extent SotM.
He isn't though, he expanded a lot on the story, maybe he could have expanded far more but he still added an insane amount of elements into the game. Even by the time of Security Breach there was already far more than there was originally. And by this point as the story goes back it seems that there might have been far more weird things happening in MCM even before it became Freddy's and all the shit with possession.

So what are the chances of Scott putting some eldritch abomination in?

>That's another thing about fnaf. There are way too many major events that happen off-screen that are told post-humously and in third person, or in a pixelated cutscene/mini-game with extremely simplistic elements. The weird thing about Fnaf is that it wants to tell a story but it always wants to tell you what happened way after the fact, and not show you in a sequence that can be used to build a plot with more emotional stakes.
FNAF has a very ARG-esque way of telling its story. This isn't necessarily bad when you're making a bunch of clickteam games as a lone developer but by this point we should be getting more concrete info, and it seems that we kind of do with SoTM.
>It's so frustrating to hear time and time again "The bad man pretended to be a friendly mascot and killed kids, and now they haunt the pizzeria and want to kill anyone they think is their killer" but never actually get to see the sequence of those things playing out.
We kind of do in Into the Pit, not 100% of it, but we can see the corpses and shit.

If you are saying that FNAF World is giving us some characterization, it still isn't actually giving us that much and it came pretty late still.

Well I did forget about that. It's only been like a decade lol
>Which is closed for most of the time, where you can do no stuff that you want to do and are forced to be the entertainment robot
Hmm... in that case if their programming can override the possession when it's daytime, how can they override the programming at night? Because they get powered off which allows them to gain control?
Even then it seems unproductive to make enemies of the night guards rather than just enjoy the time you are free, then again if they are in constant agony like you mentioned it wouldn't make sense for them to be in a good mood for that.
>I think that's a remnant (pun not intended) of the first game
I agree I definitely feel that the first game didn't have the animatronics feel like victims, and instead simply replicating what they learned from the killer. It's kind of weird how in modern FNaF the MCI are depicted as poor victims yet at the same time they've become killers arguably just as evil as Afton.
>"What I have done is terrible, and I hope that the people who I killed can forgive me"
This would actually work, especially in a mini-game/cutscene type setting, too bad this element was never explored.
>Chica is still just "I want food"/Foxy is just a pirate.
I wish more was done with this narrative wise, but even then with those descriptions they are still pretty basic characters
> why people still talk about Security Breach characters even in spite of the flaws of the game
True, I just wish this level of treatment was given to the prior animatronics of the series (i.e. the classics)

>>540678358
>"Oh it's just ghosts" and "Oh we know literally nothing about the killed children or the murderer" which is why I actually got into the series again when we started learning about both
We still know a lot more about William than we do for the MCI. William has a lot more depth to his character post-SL than the MCI do. The only kid who got his character developed was charlie/cassidy and the others were just given the "they are like animals" treatment.
So far there is nothing to invest us in the characters of the MCI other than the basic trait that they are vengeful murder victims. Like I said before we don't even know if they have parents, despite that having the MCI's parents being involved in the story would make a lot of sense for the narrative.
>What FNAF 1-4 gave us was definitely not enough to make a long-running series out of
Which is why imo I want a remake of those games that fully fleshes out every aspect and focuses solely on the MCI and the killer, rather than making the plot follow a random who of the week. After all the OG trilogy was what made fnaf popular in the first place. I don't feel like it's fair to keep adding entries on the series without paying homage to the original trilogy. and DESU the reason why the fnaf movie is so disappointing is because it fails to do all of this. It follows all the same errors of the first game (on top of an off-topic Mike Schmit plot) rather than being a true reimaging of what FNaF could have been like.
>maybe he could have expanded far more
>Even by the time of Security Breach
Like I said before I wish he would back track on the series and go back and fully fleshout the 2014 game, rather than keep on adding new and new events, and new characters that weren't a part of the main core that allowed FNaF to blow up in popularity.
While I would like to see where this new story with MCM takes us, I feel like there are still a lot of things missing from the original trilogy that need to be worked on.

I think most of that came from FNaF:W update 2 but even those characterizations are just parodies/references of existing popular franchises, and not the characters native personalities.

IMO fnaf should have just given us Freddy Fazbear as the sole character, it would make more sense for their to be only one animatronic character if they aren't even going to utilize the potential of having a band of characters.
In terms of horror genre, it would make sense too because most of the big names in horror don't have friends and are just solo antagonists.

Is it weird that FNAF feels like it's mainstream now?
I mean, sure FNAF was immensely popular in 2014-2015 but it still felt like that niche "That new trend all the kids are playing" thing. Then fast forward 9 years to early 2023, where the FNAF fandom felt dead AF, like the ruins of abandoned city, you could tell that the greatness had been and gone.
Then the FNAF movie released, reinvigorating life into the fandom and attracting new fans, now look at us FNAF is in a crossover with the most iconic horror characters and on a mass produced soft drink.
Anyway, I was a FNAF fan before it was cool.
