"For one of you, the darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend." Such a badass line.

Poor Evan. Not only was he the first child killed, but he can’t even possess his own animatronic! Dude’s got a roommate!

all of the parents, grandparents, and other adult family members here in the comments who watched this video to better understand the interests of the kids in their lives is SO wholesome

Marionette was probably for me the saddest death. It literally was meant to do good and couldn't do anything to help and laid next to her like a good dog and died. Everyone else was killed with evil intentions. Marionette Charlotte makes me the most sad.

The biggest plot hole in the series is how this company was able to survive such a long streak of devastating PR and legal disasters, I swear every time they open a restaurant at least one person ends up dead

I am 52. I remember in 2014 my kids started talking about Five Nights at Freddy’s. All I knew was it was a game about a closed down Chucky Cheese type place with some animatronics. Over the next 8 years this became a huge part of my kids’ lives. I lost interest. Fast forward. Today. I watched this video with my 20 year old daughter and WOW!! You asked for comments from people new to FNAF… well… you have a new fan Mr. Wendigoon. This made PERFECT sense and is the best explanation I’ve EVER heard of FNAF! Kudos son. You’ve stretched into the over 50 market! Thank you for this great explanation.

My son was into this game several years ago, and he got me hooked on the storyline (just the teeniest bit of the storyline), I’ve read the first book, and we just saw the movie last night. I immediately came home and looked everything up that I could. My son sent my your video, and I thought it was great! You made it very easy to understand. Nicely done!

I feel like they kicked Elizabeth out because she had a sort of dedication to William. “I will make you proud, daddy” that’s what she said in that clip. So i’m assuming they kicked her out because she was trying to work for her father in a way

1:06:18 Honestly, for being an indie horror game about ghosts possessing animatronics, Scott did not have to go this fucking hard with this monologue. "Although for one of you, the darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole. So don't keep the devil waiting, friend." is such a raw line.

Just came to the horrible conclusion that about half of the FNAF tragedy could’ve been resolved if they just settled on fursuits instead of going the extra mile with the animatronic components.

As a kid who’s been obsessed with the story of Five Nights At Freddy’s since 2014. Current 21 year old me can finally rest now. Thank you for this Wendigoon.

I believe that Afton was neglectful, yet possessive towards his children. I think the video cameras and psychic friend Fred bear was a way for him to exert control over them, to watch them without having to stop his work. He doesn’t seem to particularly care that Micheal is bullying Evan, and he drags them to the pizzeria even if they don’t want to be there. Without this angle of possessiveness, I can’t quite make the cameras make sense.

One thing that you omitted was that at the true end of Fnaf 3, a spirit of Golden Freddy was freed in a birthday party set up by the other spirits. That was probably the release of Evan Afton, giving him the party and happiness that was robbed from him, therefore making Cassidy the one who tortures William Afton.

I’ve always been fine with the “William was in a silly goofy mood” for killing the kids, because when it started cawthon didn’t expect to be the huge franchise, but this makes SO much more sense

I like how the plot of the movie essentially boiled down the half-century of convoluted history to its best elements, the missing children, Mike's trauma, Afton wearing the bonnie suit, Vanessa's new character, etc. while simultaneously paying fan service in a creative way.

I won’t lie this was the most coherent timeline in my opinion.

Man... Michael's been through a lot. Accidentally killed his brother, lost his sister, dad turned crazy, got SCÖÖPÉD , used as a puppet for...an abomination of sin...damn

I think maybe the reason Elizabeth was kicked out of the ennard is because she was still loyal to her father. In her speech at the end of Pizzeria Simulator, she goes on about doing what she was created to do, and even directly says “I will make you proud, Daddy”. Obviously the victims of her father would not be too fond of someone who was loyal to their killer.

I’m convinced MatPat is the true master mind even if he doesn’t know it. I think Scott didn’t know the first game would be a hit and just egged on MatPat till he wrote a story for him. All while MatPat believed Scott was the mastermind
