People like to say that they don't think Scott is perfect, but the fact that this video can exist at all kinda proves to me that the real reason behind the GamesOnly mindset is the idea that Scott is an infallible writing god & all mistakes are intentional details to mess with us

@Trey_Explainer
It was Bendy, though they never admitted it, unused files in the final chapter confirmed that matpats original bendy theory from years ago was totally right but they changed it last minute
@VladPavel974
@ELDENRING
Nah just admit you had no idea what you were complaining about.
Everyone and their mother was begging for Elden ring DLC since the day it dropped, absolutely noone is making a 180 here
@KamifreezyV2
@kzzrttt
Because thats the chapters job, the leaks do nothing positive that the offical chapter release shouldn't already be doing. They are a net negative
@Plasmili0
Monsterverse gidorah was so legitimately perfect that any subsequent designs either have to be just minor tweaks to the MV design, or a radically different take like the Anime Gidorah, otherwise its just a downgrade
@Zilla_Geko
@Action_Faust
@Trey_Explainer
Matpats original theory was that the big reveal at the end was going to be that Bendy was Joey drew
Unused dialogue confirms this was initially true, as Henry addresses Bendy as "Joey" in the throne scene
The popular interpretation I see alot is that the Spokesman is William
Am I the only one who interpreted this guy as being the actual guy that HandUnit is supposed to represent?Considering that HandUnit litterally voices the guy in the video, I never got the afton connection.
Its 1000% because of the Clickteam game.
Scott litterally cant fire her because shes integral to an upcoming anniversary project, and getting rid of her would either mean redoing all the art for that game, or scrapping it completely. Neither of which he wants to do.
It’s actually kinda diabolically hilarious that a post talking about the pinkypills situation has been stickied on the FNAF subreddit for two weeks now and Scott Cawthon, who has most definitely seen it by now, has not said a word lol
This video sucks so much shit lmao everyone in the comments are completely convinced the plot of this game is going to be "The Mimic was behind everything all along & Afton took the blame"
She can't project any of her weird kinks onto the Mimic yet so she just despises him lmao
@Mimic1Gaming
Lefty is in control, the puppet is asleep during FFPS which is why henry questions if charlie can even hear him.
Leftys "shhh" is in reference to this, the players too loud and will wake the puppet
And in UCN although its easy to confuse them, Lefty has their own VA
@theworld_ender
My favorite kill in the franchise is that guy who the mimic picks up by his collar and belt and battering rams him into a brick wall repeatedly until his head is crumpled inwards like a turtle
Its completely insane to me how much the Dual Process video has completely and utterly derailed discussion on Golden Freddy
Its a bad theory, an outright retcon & built on blatantly wrong information. Yet now we have to treat it like a valid interpretation and not total insanity
I think in the long run GameTheory has actually done more damage to peoples perception of the story than it has actually solved anything
Not even specifically just bad theories more so how people just think about the series in its entirety
The Ballpit is so supercharged with paranormal energy that it functions as a gateway to the flipside.
The two worlds push and pull on eachother, warping reality and the Ballpit is a gaping hole in the barrier between them, allowing travel between the two
This is by far the most confusing thing about ITP, I need to know if Scott told them to change his design or if MegaCat did this on their own
Fetch getting retconned into a new design is so bizzare since this same game doubles down on LadyFizi's eleanor instead of the books
@MOLENAIDE
I don't think denji ever actually likes beam
At best he tolerates him and accepts hes useful but I don't remember denji ever not being mildly annoyed by his presence or abusing him
@shypley
Adding to this, Tales gives Glamrock mr cupcake the description of "having the temperament of a Bull Terrier" once again enforcing hes basically just chicas dog
Security Breachs story becomes infinitely less confusing when you remember that Fnaf AR was a thing
Oh yeah Vanessa is building fake replica springtraps complete with grossly detailed rubber corpses at Glitchtraps command, I wonder what this could have possibly been setting up..
Was getting annoyed by UCN ending explanations, specifically around the GF cutscene so I decided to throw my hat into the ring and put my thoughts on UCN into a digestible format
@indie_puppet
@IGamer1223
The ruined animatronics are nolonger under glitchtraps control, they're actually just confused and malfunctioning.
Roxy is the least mentally degraded of them all, so she still has most of her harmless programming intact, unlike monty who's just feral
"OMC is Henry!"
"OMC is Mike!"
"OMC is Andrew!"
Okay but why does he have to be anybody? Theres no mystery to his identity hes just a dude that exists, theres no secret identity interpretation that could ever explain him, so maybe there isn't a secret identity & hes just OMC..
@Jaereku
All pre-anime CSM media was very punkish. Bright colors, frantic editing, loud music
Then the anime came out and suddenly its a methodical, desaturated and "cinematic" experience & ontop of that tonal whiplash the directors comments make it look like he had his head up his ass
@cawthonmedias
She wasn't allowed to pack her shit and leave, she got kicked out forcefully so bits of her were just got left behind
Scrap baby doesn't have these types of eyes, so she didn't take her eyes with her
@MhFran_Lancer
@Rurikhan
The availability of the buttons affects the structure of the entire game and its balance. The buttons will affect your game without ever even touching them, which is the root of the issue.
The buttons existance is the problem
@CharAznableREAL
@KlauerGang
The Rumbling going 100% and the Yeagerists still just going to war with themselves and destroying paradis would have been a 1000% better cycle of hate ending.
The actual ending is just "if you kill a ton of people, the survivors won't like you" like no shit fucking isyama.
CassidyTOYSNHK is really funny to me because shes so completely spineless
She spends the whole game going: "Im gonna torture you forever and ever, you will never escape my wrath"
And then shes politely asked to knock it off once and she folds immediately & dips out
Oh you know you're about to see the most milquetoast, uninformed, dogass take possible whenever the OP does the "im the biggest fnaf fan I know my stuff!" bit before they get to the point
The Mimic is bad at mimicking other people because its unable to stay in-character. The Mimics real personality always slips through
Both Glitchtrap and Grimic barely pass off as who they're pretending to be, the Mimic cannot stick to a bit to save its life
The biggest hurdle all Fnaf Theorists must eventually get over is the acceptance that we care about the story more than Scott does
We meticulously comb through every peice of media like hawks
Scott skims over it once and goes "yeah that seems about right I guess"
I think we should demonize beliving in Willcare more actually, I need that theory dead and gone
This should not be a stance we let people have, not only is it blatant character assasination its an attempt to woobify & justify a vile abuser with a sob story & pity points
AndrewMCI is really funny because of the implication that Afton ran out of costumes to stuff so he just like.. swept Andrews corpse under a rug in the saferoom and nobody noticed
UhYeah managing to convince the community that SL was the worst of the Scott Games when 4 was litterally right there was certainly a thing that happened.
@Dracosfire7
@Action_Faust
@Trey_Explainer
Not really. There was only one instance where scott meaningfully shifted the story, and it was SL.
It wasn't because we solved fnaf 4 through, it was because it was a cryptic unsolvable mess, and the conclusions it led the community to believe were even worse (dream theory)
Hopefully one day we will get a youtuber that isnt part of the Parallel matpat bubble and can be a community voice for that half of the fandom.
Its kinda sucky how this bizzare parallel narrative is the status quo for the fandom outside of twitter circles
@MarscelinioFNAF
Jeffs pizza being remodeled warped the Freddys on the Flipside
Same way that doing stuff in the ballpit affects the world on the outside
Its a two way street
@RadiantAeonstar
Two whole outfits*
You can see his bracelet things peeking out of his sleeves, I'm 90% sure hes still wearing the whole SBR outfit underneath the JoJolion one
@Jaereku
"You're just a fake fan for thinking CSM would look like what CSM was advertised to look like"
I implore you to take your head out of your ass for a minute and stop pretending like expecting CSM to like how it was marketed to look is somehow an insane take & have some empathy
@Zeriq_5
Wasn't this basically confirmed in frights?
The police attribute the FFPS fire to William and report him as dead, despite William's actual body not only still being alive, but also unidentifiable. Meaning the "William" they reported as dead was Henry
@shypley
EXACTLY!
scraptrap exudes that gross wet rat energy william does. Hes creepy and decrepit but hes also pathetic in a way. Hes this weird lanky, disheveled creature with a giant ego.
Springtrap is a punishment, scraptrap is william enjoying himself
Can we not do this "fans rushed Steel Wool and ruined SB" narrative again because its objectively wrong.
SB came out like it did because of serious internal mismanagement that doomed it from the start, SBs state on release was NOT "our fault"
Oh, I'm sorry. Are we supposed to accept the badly written stories as cannon? Would you like me to shit on your plate and feed it to you? Would you accept that?
@Mimic1Gaming
Ballpit mixing together memories, they're a weird fusion of designs. Freddy is depicted as Classic in the notebook but his up-close detailed jumpscare presents hik as Unwithered
Bonnie straight up has faceplates in his jumpscare
In general I think the vast majority of stitchline or Tales "debunks" are in actuality, blatantly bad-fath readings of the stories in purposefully obstuse ways in order to sell the idea that these are "massive problems"
I hear people use this argument so often against stitchline but like... this is such a non issue? 😭
Let me explain why count the ways funtime freddy ISN'T a stitchline debunk ( a 🧵)
BV died in a hospital bed, surrounded by his plushies. One of which he brought to life with his emotions
Peices of BV then somehow end up in the Classics
I wonder if we've seen anything Similar to this any... oh yeah
I miss ScottGames & its Teasers
Now all we get after an announcement is one trailer like 3 weeks before release & if you're lucky a website that will just be abandoned anyways
I think thats my biggest criticism of Steel Wool, they haven't filled the hole Scottgames left
@NoNameWayfarer_
Lorewise its also animal cruelty alot of the time. The Main quests usually aren't but
Idk if you've read the optional quest descriptions in alot of these games but an egregious amount of them boil down to some schmuck putting out a hit on a random animal they don't vibe with
@PBValve
It also kinda makes sense in a weird roundabout way, because it allows the turrets to both be provably dangerous to test subjects but also be survivable.
If a subject walks into a room with a and gets shot, they don't immediately die, they LEARN and adapt to complete the test.
@pssybeam
CSMs anime is a perfect example of "just because people worked really hard on something doesn't mean its good" and peoples inability to grasp this concept
I do not care that it's the smoothest animation I've ever seen in my life, i don't like its artistic vision
@DevSprings
@habitovin
iirc scott once said they had much more animated jumpscares initially, but the models were so horrifically unoptimized his computer couldn't handle rendering them, so the ones in-game were rushjobs.
You can tell he wasn't happy with them since he updated them post launch
@Marek68597622
@CSPerfectShot
The control devil has the durability of a normal human person, all her power comes from prep time and contracts.
Shes fucked if she doesn't have her crutches
@ilyapankov96
@haligtreeOracle
I feel they easily could have found a way to bring godwyn back, considering an eclipse is needed and Miquella now has a guy who can specifically control celestial bodies on his team.
If they wanted to do Godwyn they easily could have found a way
GoldenDuo & CassidyTOYSNHK are too deeply rooted into the fandom to actually get rid of in any meaningful way. Their grasp on the fandom goes beyond theorists. Its years of Fan content, AUs, headcanons, theory videos. Its practically its own subsection of the Fandom
Im surprised that some people still believe in GoldenDuo
Because that shit has everything against it and the only "proofs" it has are things like the 2 lights in fnaf3 bad ending, misunderstand the logbook and the parallel bullshit
Oh and it also fcking sucks narratively speaking
@theworld_ender
All of the other kills were perversions of things the mimic was taught to do, the guy put in the fridge, the guy hung up in the closet, but theres just no rational explanation for the turtle guy, mimic just hated that one dude in particular for no reason
Stand-in Parallels never had any precedence, Matpat just pulled it out of his ass and now we're stuck with it forever
Despite that in the 6 years since the inception of this mindset, "parallels" have yet to produce a single correct theory, it is still held as the default stance
It has just come to my attention that Cryxton and Cxsonn have been two completely separate people this whole time and not one dude who has a different profile picture every time I see them
@ItsBizabizow
Its so funny how abruptly insomniac swerved away from Cops in the sequel
I don't think we see a single police officer at any point in that game, all of their little side tasks have been replaced by Firemen & Paramedics that need help
@funnymagicring
@kosmos_er
The last time the Greater Will did anything was throwing Astel at the Nox, and that was a long ass time ago, pre-shattering at the very least.
Imo, the Nox shanked Meytr with the fingerslayer blade, which is why shes broken & lost contact with the Greater Will
@dexterwhiskers
Im 90% sure she dies in this scene after he charge runs out, since after this point she never pops up again and MXES can't spawn her
I think the intention was like, doing her one last kindness before she dies but like.. they didn't do anything with it?
@Mimic1Media
I feel burntrap was like, too genuine of a springtrap design? If that makes any sense?
I feel the whole mimic twist would have landed alot better if burntrap looked more like a crude imitation of springtrap, rather than just being springtrap
Help Wanted 2 flopped because it released on a platform 90% of the fandom doesn't have, it isn't fun to watch youtubers play it & its story reveals are obtuse and redundant.
Theres not really any value in HW2 for someone who can't actually play it
Realizing the fact that Help Wanted 2 kinda flopped because of how burnt out fans were from RUIN and the movie, and how burnt out they’re gonna be across the multiple months of the 10 year anniversary
@userduncah
@D_Kumii
Santa wasn't a pedo, were just ment to assume that untill the reveal later
3 she used children immediately for contracts and the 4th one would be used to groom another perfect doll, because she planned on using up the one she currently had
@kevciaran
Omg thats totally why Elizabeth thought baby was for her, the restaurant opened on her birthday and he took her there.
From a naive childs perspective it would look like William set it all up for her Birthday party
@BenL0071
Tales gives his origin
Hes the pile of corpses and robots the mimic was piling up in the corner. That pile is repeatedly called a "Tangle" and at one point it starts to "pulse with malevolence"
Unless theres, idk two pulsing evil tangles of hauntes robots in FFPS
@melody_plab
Its more likely he was just lazy
Especially since the Unwithereds objectively did exist at some point in time. Idk how this theory got flanderized this badly
This one deeply annoys me.
Not only is it just blatantly wrong, because Epilogue mimic looks exactly how it does in SB minus the springtrap cosplay
It also suddenly pretends the graphic novels are valid and can be used for anything? Im sorry when was that a thing?
@JamestheJerkk
@BlurryIsMe_
Tales originally didn't have epilogues, it was just the short stories. The original Lallys game copy from 2019 had no epilogue
@W0lverr
Yoru is not a compelling foil to Asa or Denji. Shes just there to stir the pot.
She desperately needs something more to her character, right now shes just a plot device
