OOOH boy, loyal Theorists! The FNAF movie was a doozy. We've already predicted what _was_ going to happen in the FNAF movie. We've shown behind the scenes of the MatPat cameo. Heck, we've even discussed Five Nights at Freddy's alternate ending. But, now.... oh NOW we get to take a deep dive into all of the FNAF movie LOOORE! Let's do this thing.

The fact people cheered when Mat showed up at the exact same energy as the other spidermen showing up in no way home just shows the impact this man has had.

[Neutral_Tired]

To be honest, despite never having read the books, I never questioned why the drawing worked. That felt totally plausible within the context of a ghost story. Compare it to the kinds of solutions there are to supernatural creatures in folk stories:
A sleep demon can't get you if you get into bed backwards
If a spirit sneaks in through your keyhole, covering the keyhole will make it unable to find its way out (not because it can't get past the cover, because it literally can't find the keyhole)
Vampires can't enter a home unless invited.
In that context, 'ghost children believe drawings because drawings are important parts of how kids communicate' feels totally at home

[Michee]

It makes sense why the kid wasn't freaking out in the back seat. He knew who was kidnapping him. Considering most kidnappings are done by somebody that the child knows it peices together nicely.

[SkellyGamingCreates]

I like to believe that the FNAF movie has its own lore, just like the books. Because William Afton’s daughter is Vanessa instead of Elizabeth, and instead of Evan it’s Garrett.

I wish the production team luck in their attempts to understand mangle's anatomy. They will most certainly need it.

Edit: Holy shinx. This is the most likes I think I've ever recieved. Thank you!

[Bobmarley-uqyr]

Can we just appreciate that we finally have a film theory for fnaf

like... thats actually crazy

[FuntimeAexo]

I love how this film and the whole vibe in the community feels like a return to form after all these years. Don’t get me wrong, I love FNAF both modern and old, but seeing those old characters in these iconic sets, hearing Foxy humming again…. it’s time travel

The biggest issue is that Mike didn’t know anything about the restaurant before he was given the job. If his dad helped make the place, he’d probably know.

[ntrg]

My biggest wish for FNAF 2 is that Markiplier is the one who gets bitten. He'll come full circle from saying, "Was that the bite of 87?" To being in the bite of 87. It's just too perfect

[grayluvsmusicvods]

Having been a fan since 2015 of both Matpat and FNAF, I’m so proud of this franchise and channel

[rizzler_certified]

Matpat unironically is the most historical man that ever stepped on this platform

[GennaWilson-gr]

Seeing matpat show up in the movie and then the living tombstone in the credits with the most iconic fnaf fan song made me realize Scott Cawthon is definitively the best creative there can be. He made something iconic and great and treats the fans so so well.

[TimeBucks]

They knew that putting MatPat in the movie was the right idea

[smtoonentertainment]

With so much lore, it was probably the best idea just to mix it all together and come up with the story using all the best bits

[RowdyPlz]

the fact movie afton is way smarter then his game counter part is a really great spin on the movie, makes his final "I always come back" line seems more understanding, sum were mad cuz it felt rushed but, if you know you’re dying but have a chance of coming back you'll be rushing too

[graycenotes]

I think you're 100% on Garrett being the puppet. I noticed, by listening to the soundtrack on that specific part of the credits, that the vocalizing kids in the background are making the same "airplane flying" noises that Garrett was before he was taken. If you listen to it, you'll here it randomly in the song. I love Scott's puzzles.

[AgainNopeNopeNope]

It feels so nostalgic to watch Matpat talk about the first FNAF games again.

[sarahwick]

Honestly this theory addressed every lore complaint I had about the movie and gave an explanation I can totally go along with

[ΠαυλίναΓιωτοπούλου]

i believe we need an applause for matpat, for finally becoming part of the fnaf

[chrispy]

Remember back in the old FNaF 2 days, when MatPat theorized that Phone Guy was the purple guy all along.

Now cut to 2023. "Steve Raglan" is obviously supposed to be the stand in for Phone Guy (I'll catch you on the flipside) and who does he turn out to be? William Afton.
