Honestly though, it quite literally is a complete mess, it does sound really bad cause it's quite literally just lore added in just to make the games continue. I think the Fnaf lore should have ended at Fnaf 6, it was the perfect time to actually end it off without needing to drag on, sure the games are fun and interesting but as a die hard Fnaf fan since Fnaf 2... I have to admit the lore is painstakingly hot steaming dogshit and the only reason I even play the new ones is cause I like the gameplay and a bit of nostalgia too.
@@straivalist8281 The story is bad because scott doesn't have the full story written somewhere, he makes shit up for the next game since the first fnaf game, there are some discrepancies, rules set being broken after etc... If he just stopped for a while and focused on the books or just writing a script for the story he could then focus on the games.
He’s like kids on the playground saying” I have a force field” I have a weapon the goes through force fields “I have an anti anti force field weapon force field”
Him being so nervous about matpat made me feel so nervous and Im not even there 😭😭 like watching a kid getting prepped to be scolded outside of an office
There were two times where matpat said that steel wool told him he solved the story (security breach) and if he had a mole on the inside. Now to me this tells me that once they found out someone solved the story they had to change it (hence why they are basically getting rid of vanessa the blob is forgotten burntrap (afton) is dusted out of existence and we got the story of ruin.
I have never heard of this at all, so I have doubts that steel wool said that let alone changed the story specifically cause he guessed it. There's also the fact that people say the same sort of thing about him and FNAF 4 but were wrong because Scott changing the story was happening regardless of whether or not Matpat guessed what was going on. Vanessa hasn't been gotten rid of yet (we see signs of her in Ruin), the Blob appeared in ruin and as for burntrap if the blob exists that automatically means he exists as well.
while it’s true according to MatPat that steel wool messaged him about this, there’s no way they changed the story just because of a RUclipsr like just think about it. Steel Wool are making a game for Sony, they have a deadline, they have a rough brief from Scott there’s too many moving parts for them to just redo everything - ALSO you need to remember that Scott is writing the story not Steel Wool. If Steel Wool did change stuff I’d guess it’s more to do with gameplay/how the game’s plot develops rather than the actual story itself.
Also, in terms of the old story Scott would frequently tell MatPat whether he was right or wrong so I doubt he made any decisions to change things - regardless he did admit that he was less hands-on with SB so maybe silly decisions were made
It's honestly sad and annoying because just picture how satisfying it is when you guess something before it happens. I know for some people it's lame or 'ruining the surprise' but it can also be really interesting to see a whole community come together to solve the story. Changing things on a whim in the way steel wool does (as opposed to someone like George R. R. Martin, who changes things because the planned story doesn't end up feeling right) just ruins the flow and the anxiety (good anxiety) of the future stories. FNAF 6 would've been such a satisfying end, and they could've still made games that had fun little nods to the main story but weren't connected, but then steel wool had to go and start the whole thing up again with the SAME main characters and storyline???? It reminds me of Marvel ruining their franchise by trying to go bigger and more extravagant with each phase.
i think solved the story just means you have to right idea given the information you have. new stuff will always come out with new games, so it’s insane to think you could ever fully solve it
Real... its like, oh! The fnaf 1 game is similar to a rral life murder case, cool! Huh, horrifying images, animatronics, child murder, purple guy? 19 books? A new game called into the pit?... That sounds... Great!
I don't know what people are talking about with this "watch Wendigoon" thing, bro got inaccuracies in his theory too. It was the most accurate the time it came out, but that's the thing with EVERY timeline video of FNAF. You are only right in that moment, until a new game, book, social media comment, or whatever spiel comes around makes a pivotal detail suddenly inaccurate. People flame MatPat because he is the titular voice that everyone thinks about and (probably caused by a lot of his fans) people take what he is saying as if his points are the truth (which misses the whole point of the channel's name). We can take a look back on every single timeline video and basically rip it apart, or even say "don't watch this guy, watch this guy" but all you do is discourage people from actually getting into the fandom. Let them watch one guy, then when they have discussions or questions, introduce them to another perspective on the same thing. This is not to support/defend MatPat, but as a way of saying all of the (quite frankly selfish) gatekeeping on which authorative voice you want people to hear actually does more harm to the person you are trying to help. Let them watch, and then we could add small tidbits like "outdated" for information that has been later confirmed or WIDELY agreed upon to be different that what is being said, or "speculation" for areas that are a bit more of a logical leap than the usual.
I think working through this vod has really made me realize how fucking wild the history of this game franchise is and especially the history of the theories and what we all focused on.

Ludwig just not understanding how a british guy's kids could have british accents despite having been born in america is the funniest part of this. Like, young kids emulate the way their parents speak. Two of them died when they were very young, and there are things you can do to avoid your accent blending with the local one if you don't want that, so it's just hilarious and a little annoying that THAT'S the thing that takes Lud out. Truly the most inconsequential bs that we're refusing to accept.
I mean my parents have very broken English but me being born in America has given me an American accent to my English due to my interaction with other people
I mean, you do know Ludwig's mom is French? It clearly didn't apply to him and he's taking his experience as just being a universal first generation kid life.
He's right though. Ask any Asian American (any first generation kid born to immigrant parents, really) that was born and grew up here. Most of our parents speak broken English, and yet we speak perfect English. Yes, we model after our parents, especially when young, but when everyone around you outside of the house (like at school) speaks American English and everyone in the media consume does so too, so will you.
@@p0tt2y55not even that tbh, who'd u trust to deliver the most accurate timeline? The guy who jumped on recently that only covers one facet of the franchise as a whole? Or the guy who's been covering every little facet of it over the last decade who's been involved in every major lore discovery since the beginning?
@@o0ugi860 Not even that. FNAF has become so big you actually have silly little factions. People genuinely hating matpat, for misinforming people about the lore (they think his theories are very wrong and don't want him to do them anymore). So I'm going to guess that also played a role.
This reminds me of the few weeks when i rewatched all the fnaf theories from Matpat in order. It was fun lmao And i never thought that Ludwig would do smth like this lol
Lud, the movie is actually worth a watch. (Sadly Markiplier wasn't able to participate due to schedule conflicts _so he is not_ in the movie). The newer games are now a different era of the game, so you don't actually need all the theory-stuff you've covered so far in this video. Kudos for trying to absorb the info though, it's a hell of a lot. You did a good job with the cliff notes. 👍
Why is twitch chat always so insufferable “YOU ARENT GONNA GET IT” “WATCH THE OLD THEORIES FIRST” “IT WONT MAKE SENSE” this exact GT timeline is how I got back into the fnaf lore after not paying attention to the games since like the first 3 and not knowing shit about the books. It’s lore about a dude who made robots and killed children.. it’s not rocket science.
1:55:00 accents don't work like that, kids learn the accents by how parents talk at home. I never lived in England when I could speak, but I gained the accent from my parents
I get your point but you are pretty a bit wrong with your statement. It might have turned that way for you but it's literally quite impossible for a child not to pick up how others sound, you go to school at the start of kindergarten, sure you're used to your parents voice but at a certain point you will meet teachers, you will meet peers, other people etc all at a VERY young age. It's actually well researched already and posted online with definite proof that children who are growing up will always adapt to the accents of their peers/surrounding people than they do with their parents. I'm speaking from experience too, My friends and I have a pretty decent Aussie accent, but their child who grow up in the UK along with their parents actually has a bit of a British accent, and my friends accent is not that "heavy" of an Aussie accent anymore since they lived in the UK for a fairly long time. All in all the accent changes depending on the region you grow up/spend time with, NOT primarily cause of parents (but there are exceptions, some people can never change accents it seems while others tend to change very quickly) but all in all, most peoples accents do tend to change rather than ones who are permanently stuck with the accent they grew up on, especially children since they are the most influencial, the chances of being stuck with the accent of your parents is so low and you literally have to be locked up with your parents for most of your young life if that were the case
Doesn't always work like that. When I moved to America, I was 4 and my siblings were 2 and 1. We all developed American accents, despite both our parents having new zealand accents
I was on the same boat as Lud regarding what I know about fnaf, but I do love watching Matpat and Steph on other story driven games, especially for their banters. This was a fun ride, I followed through pinning the timeline, it felt like I was taking an exam vicariously through him lol
3:28:37 I agree. I think the fact there was like 15+ video games and the ending to the story wasn't anywhere in sight just shows that they were milking what they could out of the fanbase before coming up with some ending. It's wild too because you can finish a story and show the ending to the lore and still expand on parts of the lore that people would be really interested in. There's no need to drag an ending because eventually people will become disinterested or disappointed in the ending after time builds expectation. As someone who was wrapped up in it when it was all kicking off, I just as quickly lost interest after around the fifth or six game with no explanation in sight. And now I'd argue the way the story actually is, it's way worse than any theories that were produced during the high of the franchise. Write a story, finish it, expand on parts of the story people would be interested in.
It makes sense they were British, if they were homeschooled kids mimic their parents, they would have still talked to American kids, but they spent majority of time around their parents who were british.
am i the only one that does not understand why ludwig is so hung up on the kids having british accents? like i feel like that's completely normal if william and/or his wife were british? their kids are obviously gonna speak in the accent and dialect they grew up with right like that's so obvious???
Because the kids grew up in Colorado, where are they going to pick up british accents at? And how is William going to keep his accent if he lives long-term in the US? It makes no actual sense.
@@LoinkLoink While this isn't necessarily false I still think it's funny that Ludwig was most confused about the British accents in an unrealistic story about reincarnation, spirits, and fazgoo. Also I believe Scott did this in SL and 6 in order to differentiate the Afton family characters from other characters just by their accents.
@@LoinkLoink i thought the wife the british right?? it's not like she would suddenly lose her accent if she came to the u.s. i knew someone who was born here to an american and a british parent and she had a more british than american accent but it wasn't fully british. if purple guy wasn't even around when his kids were growing up then obviously they aren't gonna pick up an american accent as well unless they go to school and are w other american accent speaking ppl. it is 6 am rn and i just woke up so v sorry if this doesn't make any sense.
@@nicolearia6764 Accents generally only stick if a large community uses it. If it's just a family, then eventually they are going to lose that accent as they interact more with the community around them.
2:14:51 Ludwig ffs, kids spend 5-6 years of their life developing and mimicking their parents voice and accent before going to school. And even when going to school, kids dont spend the whole day there! They go back home!
Ludwig acting like fnaf was a non fiction story and not completely fabricated and built on crazy ideas and questioning everything that sounds made up, but will analyze every bit of skibiti toilet actually makes me question my life
Title: Exploring the Intricate Lore of Skibidi, Rizz, Ludwig, and FNAF: A Whizz Essay Introduction: In the realm of pop culture, certain phenomena captivate audiences with their complexity and depth, weaving intricate narratives that leave fans enthralled and eager for more. Among these, the worlds of Skibidi, Rizz, Ludwig, and Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) stand out as prime examples of rich lore that sparks both fascination and speculation. This essay endeavors to delve into the labyrinthine lore of these diverse universes, drawing connections and unraveling mysteries along the way. Skibidi: A Dance Craze or Something More? Skibidi burst onto the scene as a viral dance sensation, propelled by the infectious beats of the Russian rave group Little Big. However, beneath its seemingly simple exterior lies a world ripe for interpretation. Some theorists posit that Skibidi serves as a metaphor for societal conformity, with its repetitive motions symbolizing the monotony of modern life. Others delve deeper, suggesting allegorical connections to existential themes, drawing parallels between the frantic dance and the chaotic nature of existence itself. Regardless of interpretation, Skibidi's enigmatic allure continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Rizz: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Multiverse Rizz, the enigmatic character created by content creator Danny Gonzalez, inhabits a multiverse of his own making, characterized by its absurdity and unpredictability. Through a series of comedic sketches and music videos, Gonzalez offers glimpses into Rizz's world, inviting viewers to ponder the nature of reality itself. Themes of identity, existentialism, and the nature of storytelling permeate Rizz's universe, challenging audiences to question their own perceptions of the world around them. As Rizz navigates through the chaos of his multiverse, he invites viewers to join him on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. Ludwig: The Evolution of a Twitch Phenomenon Ludwig Ahgren, a prominent figure in the world of Twitch streaming, has cultivated a dedicated fanbase through his unique blend of humor, gaming prowess, and genuine authenticity. From his humble beginnings as a Melee player to his meteoric rise as one of Twitch's most popular personalities, Ludwig's journey serves as a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Beyond his gaming exploits, Ludwig's streams offer a window into his personal life, inviting viewers to share in his triumphs and tribulations. Whether he's embarking on epic gaming marathons or engaging in lighthearted banter with his audience, Ludwig's streams embody the spirit of camaraderie and connection that defines the Twitch community. FNAF: Delving into the Horrors of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Since its debut in 2014, Five Nights at Freddy's has captivated gamers with its unique blend of horror and mystery. Set in the eerie confines of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, players must survive a series of nights haunted by animatronic abominations hellbent on their demise. As the series has progressed, creator Scott Cawthon has expanded upon the lore of FNAF, weaving a complex narrative that spans multiple games, novels, and spin-offs. Themes of guilt, trauma, and the nature of evil permeate the FNAF universe, challenging players to confront their deepest fears while unraveling the sinister secrets lurking within Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Conclusion: In conclusion, the worlds of Skibidi, Rizz, Ludwig, and FNAF offer rich tapestries of lore that continue to captivate audiences with their complexity and depth. Whether exploring the existential themes of Skibidi, pondering the nature of reality in Rizz's multiverse, joining Ludwig on his Twitch adventures, or unraveling the horrors of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in FNAF, each of these universes invites viewers to embark on a journey of discovery and introspection. As fans eagerly await the next installment or viral sensation, one thing remains clear: the allure of these diverse worlds shows no signs of waning anytime soon.
47:38 It's like listening to a parent talking about "pokémans"; then, when seeing Charizard, they confidently declare "that's one of those pikachus!" It's hard to be mad at them, because you understand how they came to that conclusion, and it's sort of impressive that someone who knows so little about the franchise can get something with so many names even vaguely correct. Yet at the same time, you can't help but feel a wave of cringe rise from the deepest pits of your stomach, making your face flush red, and prompting you to pretend that you don't know them.
The only thing I know about the movie is that Markiplier was supposed to be the security guard that dies in the beginning but there were scheduling conflicts. (That sounds like some pr shit but idk)
I think it actually was scheduling conflicts, markiplier is directing an Iron Lung movie, and I think they were filming that while the fnaf movie was also filming.
eh, theres other youtuber cameos and the security guard scene is the opening scene of the movie. theres really no reason why they wouldnt ask him, and no reason he'd say no, besides scheduling conflicts
the fnaf dream theory came out before the afton stuff, matpat correctly saying hat it's all a dream made scott make the games fnaf 4 was a response to people saying 3 wasn't scary enough fnaf 5 onwards was a result of matpat quickly guessing the true lore that fnaf 4 entailed that it was all a dream fnaf 4 was originally saying that the games were dreams in the mind of a random kid who was just scared of the animatronicsa and died afer his brother did that prank that resulted in his head getting munched
I forgot about the first fnaf theory Matt did thought it made some sense at the time considering the fans knew like nothing (Also as a person from Aurora Colorado I remember seeing the news cover it when I was like 7 and the Chuck E. Cheese was closed down for a while) it was kinda wild to see it used for a theory about a video game though considering I remember going to the memorial service for it. Thankfully people don’t use subjects like that for stuff like video game lore anymore.
As someone who has been in the fnaf community for years, he has made a huge mistake trying to understand this shit. I’ve still got no fucking clue what’s going on
Its crazy that I know nothing about fnaf and started this knowing more than lud. one has gotta think he was fibbing a bit. But hey also learned a whole lot with this, ill never get to not know this again and neither will lud
The story of Fnaf is so all over the place and just straight isn't good it shocks me that somehow people are still interested in it today. Edit: Everything before Ultimate Custom Night I'd say was actually good and I'd say the story was much better in general. But then when Help Wanted came out it just made everything overly complicated and completely ruined Fnaf's story. Now it's some sci-fi mystery game made for kids rather than the scary horror franchise with an intriguing and dark story.
Watching this man scream in frustration over the questionable life choices William made is great. Like, yes. Yes he was still salty about not being included after murdering 6 kids.
is the chat always that.. well i dont know whats the word telling him stop watching state of play because it sucks telling them that FNAF is shit asking him to watch someone else when he already stated whats hes watching telling him stop watching in 2x and being rude to him etc i have never been so frustrated at how his chat talks to him
That's just Twitch chat in general. There's a reason people say "Twitch chat" and not "X Creator's chat" (except the worst examples like with XQC but he's a rare case).
Right? Where are the fans that understand that there needs to be some answers, and he's speculating based on what's there, just so that he can get some explanation
i will always think it’s hilarious how absolutely devoted these fans are to certain theories, to the extent that they scream and shout over theories that don’t align with theirs and call them “wrong” as if hardly any of the lore was ever confirmed, AND like it makes any sense to begin with lol like you can tell scott never had a solid backstory going into it and just cared more about squeezing out as many games as possible without even trying to build a story lol like it’s a MESS no matter who’s lore video you end up watching.
It doesn't help that Matpat was never really interested in laying things out sensibly, just saying whatever came to his mind without regard for much context. It's not actually that complicated if you look at a more recent explanation of the lore.
@@GIRGHGHyou don’t have to be a fan of mattpatt but saying that he just says what ever comes to his mind is kind of bs. He’s read, played and reacted to every piece of fnaf media that’s come out. If the fnaf lore was easy to understand, it would have been solved by now
@@A_foranonymousyeah the games are barely understandable if you ignore some things, but the books are also sort of canon and I’m sure you haven’t read those
the reason people recommend wendigoon's video is because he humanizes William Afton, whereas Mat literally just paints PeePaw Willy as a wacky serial killer who kills just for funzies
@@alexanderjamesaustin nope, that you being oppositional and having a subjective opinion, as I love his version of afton and far prefer it to windigoons, crazy huh? People have different opinions
Honestly I have never seen someone so oblivious, try to understand the lore without being there from the start.
It's very interesting.
Honestly though, it quite literally is a complete mess, it does sound really bad cause it's quite literally just lore added in just to make the games continue.

Or the guy who's been covering every little facet of it over the last decade who's been involved in every major lore discovery since the beginning?
@@o0ugi860 Not even that. FNAF has become so big you actually have silly little factions. People genuinely hating matpat, for misinforming people about the lore (they think his theories are very wrong and don't want him to do them anymore). So I'm going to guess that also played a role.
I'm usually not a vod frog but I really enjoyed watching the old matpat theories and feeling lud react along with you.
Matpat reliving all his memories in the last 30 min of the stream
"Guys" I'll watch the explanations after"
*Doesn't do it*
I never knew I needed Ludwig to summarise the fnaf lore to himself while shitting on Afton every chance he gets😂this is fucking hilarious
This reminds me of the few weeks when i rewatched all the fnaf theories from Matpat in order.
It was fun lmao
And i never thought that Ludwig would do smth like this lol
Lud, the movie is actually worth a watch. (Sadly Markiplier wasn't able to participate due to schedule conflicts _so he is not_ in the movie). The newer games are now a different era of the game, so you don't actually need all the theory-stuff you've covered so far in this video. Kudos for trying to absorb the info though, it's a hell of a lot. You did a good job with the cliff notes. 👍
Why is twitch chat always so insufferable “YOU ARENT GONNA GET IT” “WATCH THE OLD THEORIES FIRST” “IT WONT MAKE SENSE” this exact GT timeline is how I got back into the fnaf lore after not paying attention to the games since like the first 3 and not knowing shit about the books. It’s lore about a dude who made robots and killed children.. it’s not rocket science.
Ludwig wanting to learn yet skipping is absolute bonkers
1:55:00 accents don't work like that, kids learn the accents by how parents talk at home. I never lived in England when I could speak, but I gained the accent from my parents
I get your point but you are pretty a bit wrong with your statement. It might have turned that way for you but it's literally quite impossible for a child not to pick up how others sound, you go to school at the start of kindergarten, sure you're used to your parents voice but at a certain point you will meet teachers, you will meet peers, other people etc all at a VERY young age. It's actually well researched already and posted online with definite proof that children who are growing up will always adapt to the accents of their peers/surrounding people than they do with their parents. I'm speaking from experience too, My friends and I have a pretty decent Aussie accent, but their child who grow up in the UK along with their parents actually has a bit of a British accent, and my friends accent is not that "heavy" of an Aussie accent anymore since they lived in the UK for a fairly long time. All in all the accent changes depending on the region you grow up/spend time with, NOT primarily cause of parents (but there are exceptions, some people can never change accents it seems while others tend to change very quickly) but all in all, most peoples accents do tend to change rather than ones who are permanently stuck with the accent they grew up on, especially children since they are the most influencial, the chances of being stuck with the accent of your parents is so low and you literally have to be locked up with your parents for most of your young life if that were the case
You do realize Ludwig's mom is French? He's first generation and the accent didn't rub off on him, he's still fluent though.
Doesn't always work like that. When I moved to America, I was 4 and my siblings were 2 and 1. We all developed American accents, despite both our parents having new zealand accents
BILLY LIKE BEAR
He made bunny 😂
God Ludwig and Matpat's call was so wholesome bro
I was on the same boat as Lud regarding what I know about fnaf, but I do love watching Matpat and Steph on other story driven games, especially for their banters. This was a fun ride, I followed through pinning the timeline, it felt like I was taking an exam vicariously through him lol
Bro skipped from basic algebra to college level calc
3:28:37 I agree. I think the fact there was like 15+ video games and the ending to the story wasn't anywhere in sight just shows that they were milking what they could out of the fanbase before coming up with some ending. It's wild too because you can finish a story and show the ending to the lore and still expand on parts of the lore that people would be really interested in. There's no need to drag an ending because eventually people will become disinterested or disappointed in the ending after time builds expectation. As someone who was wrapped up in it when it was all kicking off, I just as quickly lost interest after around the fifth or six game with no explanation in sight. And now I'd argue the way the story actually is, it's way worse than any theories that were produced during the high of the franchise.
Write a story, finish it, expand on parts of the story people would be interested in.
It makes sense they were British, if they were homeschooled kids mimic their parents, they would have still talked to American kids, but they spent majority of time around their parents who were british.
MATPAT ON THE YARD!!!!! 😩🩷
what you gotta do is you gotta watch every game theory fnaf video in order to see how the lore evolved over time
am i the only one that does not understand why ludwig is so hung up on the kids having british accents? like i feel like that's completely normal if william and/or his wife were british? their kids are obviously gonna speak in the accent and dialect they grew up with right like that's so obvious???
Because the kids grew up in Colorado, where are they going to pick up british accents at? And how is William going to keep his accent if he lives long-term in the US? It makes no actual sense.
@@LoinkLoink While this isn't necessarily false I still think it's funny that Ludwig was most confused about the British accents in an unrealistic story about reincarnation, spirits, and fazgoo. Also I believe Scott did this in SL and 6 in order to differentiate the Afton family characters from other characters just by their accents.
@@LoinkLoink i thought the wife the british right?? it's not like she would suddenly lose her accent if she came to the u.s. i knew someone who was born here to an american and a british parent and she had a more british than american accent but it wasn't fully british. if purple guy wasn't even around when his kids were growing up then obviously they aren't gonna pick up an american accent as well unless they go to school and are w other american accent speaking ppl. it is 6 am rn and i just woke up so v sorry if this doesn't make any sense.
@@nicolearia6764 Accents generally only stick if a large community uses it. If it's just a family, then eventually they are going to lose that accent as they interact more with the community around them.
2:14:51 Ludwig ffs, kids spend 5-6 years of their life developing and mimicking their parents voice and accent before going to school. And even when going to school, kids dont spend the whole day there! They go back home!
Ludwig acting like fnaf was a non fiction story and not completely fabricated and built on crazy ideas and questioning everything that sounds made up, but will analyze every bit of skibiti toilet actually makes me question my life

3:30:00 im sitting here thinking maaaaaan he hasnt even gotten to the really modern shit yet 😭
I loved the stream, was really funny to see ludwig trying to get everything.
47:38 It's like listening to a parent talking about "pokémans"; then, when seeing Charizard, they confidently declare "that's one of those pikachus!"
It's hard to be mad at them, because you understand how they came to that conclusion, and it's sort of impressive that someone who knows so little about the franchise can get something with so many names even vaguely correct. Yet at the same time, you can't help but feel a wave of cringe rise from the deepest pits of your stomach, making your face flush red, and prompting you to pretend that you don't know them.
1:08:08 cant wait for Ludwig to be thrown 25 versions of every character and multiple characters he has no idea exist
I’m just here for Ludwig’s revelation face
took a while goddanm
The only thing I know about the movie is that Markiplier was supposed to be the security guard that dies in the beginning but there were scheduling conflicts. (That sounds like some pr shit but idk)
I think it actually was scheduling conflicts, markiplier is directing an Iron Lung movie, and I think they were filming that while the fnaf movie was also filming.
eh, theres other youtuber cameos and the security guard scene is the opening scene of the movie. theres really no reason why they wouldnt ask him, and no reason he'd say no, besides scheduling conflicts
the fnaf dream theory came out before the afton stuff, matpat correctly saying hat it's all a dream made scott make the games
fnaf 4 was a response to people saying 3 wasn't scary enough
fnaf 5 onwards was a result of matpat quickly guessing the true lore that fnaf 4 entailed that it was all a dream
fnaf 4 was originally saying that the games were dreams in the mind of a random kid who was just scared of the animatronicsa and died afer his brother did that prank that resulted in his head getting munched
The fact that this video is 4 1/2 hours long is so funny to me.
FNAF lore is deranged
The game and lore should have ended at 6, it literally was a thankyou and a goodbye to the series but nah..Springtrap had to say "Nah I'd win"
@@straivalist8281 he always comes back.
Doubt it may not help but there are three seperate canons, game canon, book canon, and movie canon
This is exactly what i needed today
Its like 5 in the morning but i feel like this gonna be the insomnia cure video for tn thanks lud
Worked for the first half but not the 2nd cuz i got mad when lud was explaining the lore wrong
Just because the modern take is different, doesn't mean the first is wrong. It can still be inspired off of the case.
two of my favorite youtubers finally bonding what a dream come true, but honestly if Ludwig would be the main theorist for game theory would be insane
And none of that had the mimic
I forgot about the first fnaf theory Matt did thought it made some sense at the time considering the fans knew like nothing (Also as a person from Aurora Colorado I remember seeing the news cover it when I was like 7 and the Chuck E. Cheese was closed down for a while) it was kinda wild to see it used for a theory about a video game though considering I remember going to the memorial service for it. Thankfully people don’t use subjects like that for stuff like video game lore anymore.
Bro needs to check his prostate
Bring back Dubbin
I love that he bought the domain ass[.]cleaning
Matpat making noises was cracking me up lmao
bro sat in that bar and just had a darth maul moment "HENRY HENRYYYYYYYYYYYY
People saying "get this monkey off my screen" on the Henry speech is wild.
As someone who has been in the fnaf community for years, he has made a huge mistake trying to understand this shit. I’ve still got no fucking clue what’s going on
Its crazy that I know nothing about fnaf and started this knowing more than lud. one has gotta think he was fibbing a bit. But hey also learned a whole lot with this, ill never get to not know this again and neither will lud
The story of Fnaf is so all over the place and just straight isn't good it shocks me that somehow people are still interested in it today.
Edit: Everything before Ultimate Custom Night I'd say was actually good and I'd say the story was much better in general. But then when Help Wanted came out it just made everything overly complicated and completely ruined Fnaf's story. Now it's some sci-fi mystery game made for kids rather than the scary horror franchise with an intriguing and dark story.
I'm so broken. I actually waited for him to get back. In a VOD. WHY
Im doing it cause I'm listening to this at work and can't be on my phone
he made matpat make his secret 11th theory video
As someone who never played fnaf the movie was REALLY good
It was really bad tho 😂
Hahaha no
It well made atleast
Dude thought he could understand everything watching 8 years in 4 hours
i forgot game theory did the first true crime youtube video
chat is moon goonin
i feel like ludwig was more hype for skibidi toilet than FNAF
Watching this man scream in frustration over the questionable life choices William made is great. Like, yes. Yes he was still salty about not being included after murdering 6 kids.
is the chat always that.. well i dont know whats the word
telling him stop watching state of play because it sucks
telling them that FNAF is shit
asking him to watch someone else when he already stated whats hes watching
telling him stop watching in 2x and being rude to him etc
i have never been so frustrated at how his chat talks to him
That's just Twitch chat in general. There's a reason people say "Twitch chat" and not "X Creator's chat" (except the worst examples like with XQC but he's a rare case).
I love that guy from the walking dead
Purple wife kinda reminds of Miyoung
Whos miyoung
he should've watch every game theory videos. because matpat release theories based on the game that was present at that time.
I hate chat, man. They are so annoying.
Right? Where are the fans that understand that there needs to be some answers, and he's speculating based on what's there, just so that he can get some explanation
I feel like the answer to all of his questions about william could be answered in one word: Narcissism.
He gotta play now
1:48:26
Chat is so stupid
Mci83 is cannon now
i will always think it’s hilarious how absolutely devoted these fans are to certain theories, to the extent that they scream and shout over theories that don’t align with theirs and call them “wrong” as if hardly any of the lore was ever confirmed, AND like it makes any sense to begin with lol like you can tell scott never had a solid backstory going into it and just cared more about squeezing out as many games as possible without even trying to build a story lol like it’s a MESS no matter who’s lore video you end up watching.
I cant believe your doing this! finally!
Freddy Faazbear💀
2:05:35
3:06:00
My brain hurts so much from this FNAF lore. It made sense up until like, game 4. After that, it became a joke writing wise lol
It doesn't help that Matpat was never really interested in laying things out sensibly, just saying whatever came to his mind without regard for much context. It's not actually that complicated if you look at a more recent explanation of the lore.
@@GIRGHGHyou don’t have to be a fan of mattpatt but saying that he just says what ever comes to his mind is kind of bs. He’s read, played and reacted to every piece of fnaf media that’s come out. If the fnaf lore was easy to understand, it would have been solved by now
Its actually pretty easy to understand fnaf 1-6 once you get your head around it
@@A_foranonymousyeah the games are barely understandable if you ignore some things, but the books are also sort of canon and I’m sure you haven’t read those
Fnaf should have ended At fnaf 6 that final speech would have its value
why he say faz like that
The end of the series really fell off. I feel like the story should have ended with Ultimate Custom Night.
dude has no patience
Was that the bite of 87????
Now he has to do Scp lore.
Broooo VR FNAF when???
Friday nights at Freddie’s, let’s go
the reason people recommend wendigoon's video is because he humanizes William Afton, whereas Mat literally just paints PeePaw Willy as a wacky serial killer who kills just for funzies
William's ass does not need to be humanized
If you think this then you never watched or understood the video
@@mr.brazilian5167 is this a bit or are you being serious? MatPat's characterization of Afton is dogshit
@@alexanderjamesaustin nope, that you being oppositional and having a subjective opinion, as I love his version of afton and far prefer it to windigoons, crazy huh? People have different opinions
@@alexanderjamesaustin also if you need to insult it with no further backup of evidence then you've lost

Me: Probably because it's a guy
