Film Theory: What Did FNAF 2 Even Tell Us About the Lore?

Poor Matpat became the one thing he swore he'd theorize about

the reason they all say its an accident is because none of the adults wanted to take responsibility for ignoring her literally crying and begging for help

Thumbnail is definitely ending up in a comment section

i work at popeyes and when they randomly started the promo for the movie i thought i was hallucinating 😭 like wdym i have to serve ‘freddy tenders’

I don’t understand why everyone was so upset by Mike dumping Vanessa. If both I and my little sister were almost killed twice because she didn’t warn me about anything until it was too late (and even then still keeping a lot of stuff a secret) then I’d probably be pretty upset as well

17:41 Actually Lee, the director for the FNAF Movies Emma Tammi in a recent interview did confirm that Henry *WASN’T KILLED* by The Puppet during his end credits message to Mike but instead The Puppet just stopped the message prematurely and both Emma and Scott have plans to expand on Henry’s character in the third movie

The movies have officially followed the classic Fnaf tradition of having multiple characters with the same first name

I feel Charlotte is focused on the parents because they all ignored her. We don't even see her dad anywhere. But she still did what she thought was right, saving the kid. However, if only one adult/parent had gone with her, she could've saved the kid without the ''accident'' happening. But no one helped, so she passed feeling resentful and betrayed, leading to her rage.

9:11 baby's eyes are green here, when in the games it was supposed to be blue, only turning green when Elizabeth possessed her

My take on Mike dumping Vanessa was he felt betrayed. She knew about the other location, and seemingly that it could implicate Abby in some way, and she didn’t tell Mike. She also didn’t tell him about Michael, and his messed up situation, how she knew he was a psycho, and Mike’s completely fed up with all this Freddy stuff, and just wants Abby to live a normal life again. He also can’t seem to trust Vanessa, cause if she hid all this, what else could she be hiding? He sees how all this is affecting Abby, and just doesn’t want to deal with it. He breaks up with Vanessa to protect him and Abby. I’m guessing in the third movie, we’ll see Vanessa go back to Afton, submitting herself to him, either by force through Charlotte or willingly, and Mike and Abby have to rescue her before she gets killed by Baby

The reason she doesn’t blame Afton is because she felt rage against the parents for ignoring her and not doing anything to stop Afton

I have a theory that Michael and vanessa arent actually his children, but are rather children he has kidnapped and brainwashed over the years. It may explain why Garrett and the crying child are connected, because they are the same person. It also explains why Afton keeps saying that they are HIS children, as a way to assert his control. This may also explain why, in the games, michael bullies and (inadvertently) kills the crying child. We also see from the books that Afton is not above kidnapping children for his own end goals.

17:12 - Mike cuts off Vanessa bc she's withholding information (because she's scared) which has twice now nearly gotten Abby killed (which Mike is expressly trying to have not happen). They're both deeply traumatized (and written quite well imo) people and are having trust issues. Vanessa doesn't tell people things as a defense mechanism, which is going against Mike's need to know as much as possible (as a defense mechanism). He basically breaks up with her bc their trauma expression styles do not mesh.

puppet angry with parents instead of afton makes a lot of sense to me, it is quite common for children to blame what they feel it failed to them more than the real problem, like those kids who blame their parents for not picking them up from school on time when the real problem is that the car doesn't work or something like that, even many adults act like that

4:15 one of the newspapers victimblamed Charlotte, I believed the line was "The child ignored the area restrictions" or something like that, basically saying that it was her fault for entering the back rooms :) sounds very much like fazbear ent. playing around the law

a big thing you didn't mention is Babys eyes are already green meaning she's already been possessed by Elizabeth(If Elizabeth exists in this universe) I believe sister location happened in the gap between the first and second movie after Aftons death meaning Ennard is inside Micheal explaining why he's acting so weird he's also acting EXACTLY like baby in FNAF 6 trying to make 'Afton' proud and carry on the family legacy

13:49 its likey because, while wlliam killed Charlotte, had those adults come to help her, she might not have been killed, and her killer might have been caught. She is likely angry with William, but with her most likely not knowing Williams identity thanks to the suit he was wearing, she doesnt know who to look for, so instead goes after the people whos inaction lead to her death.

I think the reason why Michael Afton didn’t wake the Marionette up himself is because he fully expected her to lash out after being freed because she’s been trapped in there for twenty years. So, he tricked the paranormal investigators into doing it for him, basically offering them as sacrifices to the Marionette.

What do you _mean_ Toy Chica was a springlock suit from the very beginning???
