[burnsmulti]

On my hands and knees begging, pleading, for the fnaf and/or Matthew Lillard simps to make 100x100 icons of Mat as Steve Raglan and William Afton from the FNaF Movie-

[fandomfuntimem]

Its been a week since the fnaf movie came out and I'm here to give my thoughts and talk about why I personally have almost no gripes about it. Aswell as address the complaints I've heard, and why I disagree.

Tho, I still warn spoilers if you have not had the time to see it. Continue if you dare.

Ok. So. Fnaf movie. I loved it! It did an amazing job. Yes, some point felt a bit hokey and off, but overall it was very good.

The story was understandible. The characters likable (or they made you hate them in all the right ways), and the visuals were awsome.

I personally am glad Mike wasn't William's son. That was too predictable. It also gave reason for why Vanessa was there. The addition of Abby and the Aunt was great too, it gave Mike motivation and a reason to be at freddies. The introduction of Geret gave William motive to give the job to Mike, making it easy to kill him if he found out.

The animatronics? SUCH BABIES! Love them! The movie brought back a lot of the spookieness they had, aswell as reminding the audience that they're still just kids. Yeah the fort part was a bit jarring and hokey, but again, they're still just kids. Kids who have probably been waiting for a new friend for years.

Now. To address the complaints I've seen and give my reason for why I disagree.

"Not enough gore"

So? The most gore you got in the fnaf series was Springtrap and the pixelated scene of William dying. Other than that it wasn't a lot. Also you gotta remember, there are young fans out there who genuinly do like the older games, but unfortunately cannot handle the more violent aspects. Also it was PG13, you should have gone in knowing there won't be a lot of gore.

"It's nothing like the games."

Yeah, thats cuz it's probably based around the books. Adapting the games would be really hard. The lore is everywhere and has been switched up many times, there isn't enough information about any of the characters to build up enough to make them an actual person, also the gameplay in the older games is so minimal that its just better not to use that as your basis for a movie.

In my personal opinion, it's best Michael Afton wasn't the main character. Now don't get me wrong, Michael Afton is my favorite fnaf character, but he is not a good character to be a movie protagonist. All his character development happened before the games, in the games his personality, goals, and motivations are already there you just follow him through him putting his plans in motion. It would be hard for the audience to sympathize with such a gruff and obsessed character who's only goal is to undo what his father did. Mike Schmit is a good protagonist. He has realistic goals, you watch him grow and improve, and he has better motive than just "my dad was a shit bag." Mike Schmit is realistic and that is very important for a movie protagonist.

"The animatronics were too childish"

They're kids. They're kids who had their lives ended too early. Also the movie made a point that the games also made, they like kids but they don't like adults. They were peacful with Abby because she is a new friend, probably the only child they have seen in years. The thing about them communicating through drawings was a book thing I'm pretty sure. Every scene where they interacted with Abby before William began influencing them again was a soft reminder that they're still kids. Them being childish is completely understandible.

"The springlock scene wasn't good"

I kinda agree. It could have been better. But heres how I view it. William could have been, on some level, in shock. Everything he built and worked his ass off to keep stable was litteraly falling apart around him, his past came back to bit him in the ass in the form of Mike Schmit, his daughter, the only person he even remotely trusted, just betrayed him, and now he is dying. All because, years ago, he decided to kidnap one random little boy. He was in shock, processing all of this, and realising there was no way out of this. In true psychopath fashion, he smiles, gives his last words, both a reminder and threat, "I always come back!" Then he accepts his fate. In all honesty, its poetic. Karma came for him and it hit him hard. The beginning of his murderous career, was also the end.

Bur yeah. Thats my personal opinions and view of the movie. I liked it a lot and I'm very excited for the sequal.
