I just find it strange how in previous chapters they had already introduced us to characters like Huggy or Kissy and they had left them there as simple characters, but when the Critters exploded in fame, then they did take more versions of them.
I can see both sides to the Nightmare Critters arguments. Indeed, it makes sense in universe, because the Smiling Critters was a show based in the 90s, and a popular thing back then was to have the anti heroes or antagonists be LITERAL anti versions of the main cast, so it really does make sense. But at the same time, with how popular the original Smiling Critters actually got, and how unoriginal some of the Nightmare Critters’ designs feel, it also does look like they’re taking the easy way out and continuing to milk a previous idea that made them alotta cash. Either way, in my own opinion at the end here, as long as they can turn it around and make them scary in Chapter 4, then game is game. I just hope Chapter 4 can be as great as Chapter 3 was.
Why would they need to milk the smiling critters for profit? They made enough bank with the 1st and 2nd game already. Chapter 3 didn't even earn much more revenue.
Anti heroes are ageless things i mean a evil/mean version of yourself with out you doing the bad stuff i'm late 90 (1998) so i don't know anything in that era but i know this stuff people who start hating this are litterly to YOUNG to even know why they say this stuff😑😑
Just bcs its realistic doesnt mean its good. Its honestly underwhelming that they are basically reusing the same concept of the monsters on the *LAST* chapther. We know their talent and we are hyped, its not hate on them, i am just dissapointed. I know they are not the main villains but i dont want to spend my time on the Nightmare Critters that are literally just the Smilling but edgy.
As a 90s child, I loved the villains in many cartoons: Transformers, TMNT and Sailor Moon just to name a few. The villains were basically creepier (and often cooler) versions of the heroes. They were so fun XD I hope Mob makes the plushies forms in the shop, as a goth I'd DIE to buy both Poe and Baba Chops XD

AntiFlash, Pitto/Dark Pit, does Golden Freddy/Fredbear and Spring Bonnie/Springtrap count(?), Powerpunk Girls (comic exclusive, canceled episode), Underfell, Reverse Falls, what the other guy said, and so so much more. Imo, I love me some evil/dark counterparts
@@spoopyghost3333 I like my Dark counterparts too, although I wouldn't really count golden freddy and springtrap as an example, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie are more like partners than a good one and a bad one, and Golden freddy and Springtrap while enemies don't really have anything that makes them a good and bad opposite of the other besides just being golden animatronics. If you want a good fnaf character with a dark counterpart I would say The puppet/Charlie and Baby/Elizabeth would be a better example as they have way more in common (they are both daughters of the owners of freddy's, they both possess robots their fathers created, the animatronics they possess were both designed for the motives they have, they both lead the missing children at some point, they both possess animatronics with clown like attributes) while also being exact opposites (Charlie is the daughter of the good owner, Elizabeth is the daughter of the bad owner, Charlie wants to stop the killer and is protective towards the missing kids, Elizabeth helps the killer and is dictatorial towards the missing kids, Charlie possesses a robot designed to protect, Elizabeth possesses a robot designed to kill, Charlie tries to protect children like her father, Elizabeth's tries to kill children like her father) to where you could consider one to be an "evil version" of the other.

“Hey babe wake up, the poppy playtime fanbase are complaining again” I really don’t understand why yall are complaining about the nightmare critters being “reskins”, we only got to see 2 of the critters in the previous chapter (dog day and cat nap). Idk about you lot, but getting the chance to see 8 potential villains in this new chapter is so exciting! 🙄
I don’t think they’re gonna be villains, at least not all of them. Some of their characters seem to have their personalities based off game mechanics, particularly the alligator and rat. I’m not gonna get my hopes up but I hope we get to see more of the bat.

@@GhostDragon123 Rabie Baby is the Queen! If she dies next chapter, I’ll go out of my way to make sure everything in that factory meets a fiery end! Though this argument that people are making about the nightmare critters is so stupid. The smiling critters are basically all clearly based off of William Afton aka the purple but the nightmare critters are basically a creative bi-product of that the way it should’ve been. Now they legit feel like their own thing compared to the smiling critters. Other than Baba Chops who lowkey feels like they’re trying to follow the trend that the Amanda franchise created.
Atp, people want to find anything to get mad about. There are people who will never be happy and will forever complain about everything. That’s just how the internet is nowadays.
The Nightmare Critters “drama” be like: Mob Entertainment: Why are you so mad about the Nightmare Critters? Poppy Playtime Fans: There’s no shade on them?
I don’t understand why people get upset because they look like the smiling critters but they were literally made by the same company. Nobody gets upset about Kissy just being a different colored Huggy and they also are completely different animals than the smiling critters (I love kissy do not take this the wrong way)
With kissy it's different though, Huggy Wuggy in universe was already popular, hence the creation of kissy, but this DOESN'T make sense, The Smiling Critters flopped in universe, so playtime co making a toy line of these new versions of characters which didn't even do well, is stupid and illogical.
@@ivorminecraftstorymode they might have been created at the same time? And with the fail of smiling Critters they probably just threw all the nightmare critters into storage? As a lot of the nightmare critters seemed to be targeted to teens, with all the angsty stuff, while smiling critters were targeted to little kids.
I'm upset how ridicuously similar these look to something that Gametoons would make. They do not even remotely like Smiling Critters, but an off-brand cash grab and content farm sort of thing. You know good and well that the developers are building on the hype and basing it off of Gametoons, with their lame Killy Willy.
@@ivorminecraftstorymodeI keep seeing people go “but it’s different” It’s really… not. Your logic falls apart if you apply any level of thinking beyond name.
Yeah same characters variants like toy Freddy weather Freddy Nightmare Freddy and SB Freddy, but the name of the game is five nights at Freddy’s so i guess it makes sense for them
@@greydummy2702so, like, your logic is... what exactly? "FNaF is different because...fnaf. while poppy is just a shameless cashgrab because its doing exactly what fnaf has done for the past decade, the only difference is its POPPY PLAYTIME!!" thats you. thats what you sound like. Does only Poppy gets to have reskins and variations because she's in the title? But then how is FNaF excluded from being a cash-grab when it literally has a dozen bonnies? I dont see Bonnie in the title of FNaF. See how pointless that logic is?
@Jeonru tf? Freddy and his gang are a core part of fnaf, also SB and FNAF 3 don't really have bonnie so idk where the hell you are going with that, btw I'm not the. Only comment that said this
Yeah this theme of the similar but opposite anti-heroes is super a 90s cartoon thing. They aren’t even the main villains. I wouldn’t even count this as drama, just a bunch of people not really feeling the new designs. I only hope they can make em stand out and be scary.
@@JacobKernels yeah but I think that was kind of the vibe. The anti characters are always meant to feel like counterfeits. But I do understand exactly what you mean. I’m not sure if they’re the 100% right way to go but thank goodness they aren’t the main villains.
PPL don't consider that things were slower in the 90s. Not everyone had a computer (and if they did, they had dial up and it was only 1 computer in the house, more if you were rich), and not everyone had a TV (and if they did, there usually wasn't one in every room of the house). Characters from cartoons would stick longer in people's minds and the whole "what if" factor (or new characters) was fan-fiction until it was officially made cannon (and that could have taken....forever. If it happened at all). Nevermind the fact you had to purchase cable to watch certain channels and internet was a box you had to have installed into your home (neither were always accessible to everyone)
"well you weren't around in the 80s, 90s, 2000s.

I don’t see the problem since it’s fairly common to see the villain versions of the main cast. A recent example is in OK KO. KO and TKO. Professor Venomous and Shadowy Figure. They’re literally hero/villain and the same concept yet everyone loved them

OMG I HAD A THEORY, ITS NOT A NIGHTMARE CRITTER, ITS YARNABY, YARNABY must have absorbed the plush’s cotton, btw this was made before I watched the video so if this is already mentioned then sorry, but YARNABY might be like seek and can separate and change shape
I can see the complaints (I was a little like :( why are they just repeating it) but now I’m like, hrmmm this could be an interesting concept. Plus it fits
I don’t hate them, BUT I do hope they’re only little side characters. It does basically feel like a smiling critters repeat. I don’t see how the in-game element for these would change either, so I understand a bit of backlash. I think the fans just want to see different kinds of gameplay and original characters with more thought and design. Not saying this is all that comes out of ch4 of course
the only issue I have with them it just feels like them trying to milk it, even if “oh, well the 90’s did ___” cool concept I guess, but the og cast was plenty imo
I was born in 2007 and even I know the 90s anti-hero thing like Powerpuff Girls was a big one for me where it was the gender bent (more evil) versions of them. So even though I’m not a 90s baby I still understand the tropes for villains during that time and I genuinely agree with you that the people that are hating on mob entertainment are just too young to understand what they’re really talking about.
Alright, since everyone has their own opinions/preferences, I’m going to try to give the most unbiased explanation of the issue at hand. As someone who actually likes the Nightmare Critters(and the fact they’re meant to be the inverse/antithesis of the smiling critters) it’s not that people dislike them, it’s the fact it’s technically a retcon, even if they play off the fact that they’re ‘alter’ versions of the existing critters. Not a favorable marketing tactic, but there will always be someone to dislike that. Secondly, it’s not that Mob is a bad company for doing that; it’s the fact that they’re doing it purely for marketing, alongside the fact they themselves are(and I mean this without vice) a questionable company. Between almost turning their product(Poppy Playtime) into an NFT project, and the reasons behind why so many employees/developers have left the company in the recent months(by the least some skepticism). Again, I’d like to reiterate I’m not saying you should hate/dislike any of their work, and it’s fine if you don’t like it or their practices. I for one like the Nightmare critters(and again) it’s been stated multiple times they’re not the lead villains of this chapter. Love the video, though! ❤
Yarnaby was in the most recent trailer, it seems he might be part of the line of toys that Boxyboo came from (who appeared in the multiplayer game that came out a while ago) and will be the main antagonist of this game
Their names are maybe a little bit wonky to me, but the designs are freaking cool. I can totally see them as rivals to the Smiling Critters in their show.
bro i love the Nightmare critters! i think its really cool that, while not solidified (its written but idk if they are gonna get the exact scents they wanted like with the smiling critters), they have the idea to give them scents like coffee, Cinnamon, chocolate and more, while the Smiling critters have scents like Lavender, citrus, Mint and more Natural scents. stuff you can grow while things like Coffee, chocolate and others used for the Nightmare critters are more man made, which makes me think thats a clue to their story, they are made for the staff/adults than the smiling critters who were made for the kids. (just an idea though, either way i think they have cute designs and i enjoy the colors they used for em)
I think these might be the last critters were gonna see. I mean. If they do more then there milking them. But I'll let them cook. The designs are okay so far. But.. Yarnaby seems to be a good original more creatuve character which im happy about. I just hope all other chapters are there own thing woth some references to past chapters as always
In my opinion I find this drama goofy I like the nightmare critters people can have a opinion but can you atleast be grateful that they are giving us new characters.
@@autisticwoman665 but the nightmare critters are not the same thing, there are different animals, different personalities and different scents, and different backgrounds. Sure they have the same ish body types but that's it.
My thought is, growing up watching older 90's cartoons where the main characters usually have an antagonist that is similar to the protagonist only in reverse. Could it be seen as lazy? Sure, one could say but in the universe it makes sense especially for the time that it's supposed to depict.
with yarnaby the new released mob, the entire new chapter is about being watched on (eyes on the tv, cameras everywhere, the eyes taken out of the critters since you dont want to be seen by yarnaby) and the new chapter will be trying to maneuver the prison of playtime co whilst the guard is stalking your every movement with all the things watching you
I feel it all comes down to how the Nightmare Critters are in Chapter 4, especially if they are either Gigantic Creatures like Catnap OR are just like the Ruined Critters (mini-doll enemies) with unique gimmicks.
While I don't necessarily have a problem with the nightmare critters, I do find it a bit disappointing that so far none of the chapter's main monsters were Bron or boxy boo. I remember also feeling this way when chapter 3's catnap was revealed. A cool character but I was genuinely expecting the chapters to focus on the previous toys as shown on the posters
1:38 I grew up in the early 2000s and even I know that a lot of 90s shows and TV shows during the 2000s at times had an antagonist to the main protagonist. If you have a whole gang of characters, the Nightmare Critters are supposed to be opposites and the antagonist to the Smiling Critters! The only "complaint" I have is that I feel like Mob looked at Eggritos' Frowning Critters and took some elements to create their own opposites of the Smiling Critters with a twist. But then again, that "complaint" isn't exactly a complaint, is it?
Well its make sense with the playtime company as well since they would want to produce more money to do more experiments. So getting an opposite versions of smiling critters. Which looks cooler than the original (imo) would make sense overall. This had to be most detailed mascot horror game so far in a narrative standpoint. As long as they don't copy and paste the story of the each chapter its fine.
My theory is that they wanna try to redo Chapter 3 flaws alot people didn't like chapter 3 for having too much puzzles no have less time with catnap and other smiling critters demonic forms....I think they wanna do a better version that fan wanted
The only I can say is that I hope we get more original characters. It feels like everything became about the smiling critters since they were introduced. Like they are starting to clitter the overall character cast a bit. Before them, we were waiting for characters like Braun (hope I spelled it right) to make a appearance but still nothing. Same with Huggy Wuggy. They keep teasing his return but continue to blue ball us.
It couldn’t be anymore obvious that they clearly made the nightmare critters to reskin the mini critters for chapter 4. Not docking them at that. I’m glad that the nightmare critters are basically an original idea that are actually inspired. The smiling critters were basically based around the characters from Fnaf, particularly around the purple guy. Though with these nightmare critters, they allowed themselves to be a lot more creative. It seemed they were paying attention to what their audiences wanted as the nightmare critters seem much more 3 dimensional. I just hope they do a little more with them in chapter 4 than they did with the domestic critters.
Tbh the nightmare critters look like oc's, but I feel it makes sense for the main enemy in chapter 4 to be the nightmare critters because we're on the same floor and not a new one
The people complaining is always one of them weird ones and yall know what I mean, n is like bro it's a game, why you caring abt the design of smth that won't even be that relevant
i had an idea if the nigthmare critters are meant to be evil smiling critters and we were always attacked by catnap one of the main smiling critters what if the nigthmare critters are good guys like they are thankfull for the player for killing catnap and want to help them out with the main antagonists oh chapter 4 AND NO ITS NOT BEACUSE I WANT RABIE BABY TO JOIN US BEACUSE I LOVE HER ok maybe it is that way SHE IS JUST TOO CUTE FOR BEING EVIL
Yea that’s what I thought too. Like they’ll end up eating the smiling critters and tell us more about the factory. I want to interact with Rabie Baby too but alas, best not ti get your hopes up. If she shows up and dies right away, I am not gonna be happy.
@@MATAX5 no one will be She is too cute to be evil And dont worry I AM A JJK FAN I AM so traumatised i expect peolle like authors to send hitmen after me for liking a character thyy wanna kill off K legit feel like everyone wants to see my mysery and always will hapoend to me so i AM pretty much surę is gonna Die the most brutal way posiblle Still she is cute as hell
Bro these are better then the normal re color that most cartoons do they actually feel like their own characters unlike characters likee the boy powerpuff girls who i originally thought was fanon
it could be somethign about a spider, due to spiders also having 8 eyes and being able to blink, maybe all the nightmare critters will combine into one and become one ginormous spider or beast
I really wish they would’ve focused more on the group of characters and mascots that were introduced in chapter 1 instead of making new ones like every chapter.
I actually thought they looked cool. I like that they are animals that are considered dangerous/scary. Smiling Critters were all domesticated and common animals seen in kids media. I can definetly see them appealing to teens if this came out in the 90s. I literally want a Simon Smoke plush and I'm 30 lol
I personally like the nightmare critters because I was born in 2000, but I watched the 90s (Also Monster high) show, and I really like evil opposite main characters who I really love the Nightmare Critters and the Smiling Critters all together. I just want people to know that whoever was born in the 2000 and never seen 90s shows
I have a theory. What if whenever all the mini critters consumed dog day,they created a 9th smiling critter.like a wolf with traits from every critter.dogday and catnap creating a wolf and other traits like bubbas Intelligence. Maybe also Same thing could happen to nightmare critters
Let's go back when poppy playtime chapter3 fan gameplay animations were trend,the fact the monsters of chapter3 in those animations were boogie bot,candy cat,cat bee and daisy....if mob do that its more better than redoing the smiling critters
The powerpuff Girls had the Rowdy Ruff Boys and Powerpunk Girls. What about The Flash with the Reverse Flash? Starfire and Blackfire? Or what about Gravity Falls with the reverse pines? Heck the Fairly OddParents with the anti fairies and that every fairy in fairy world gets a anti counterpart.
do people really not know about the whole anti-hero characters from older shows? Anti-heros are made to look like knockoff/worse versions of the main cast and act as the shows villains. If the smiling critters was a show the nightmare critters would 100% be the anti-heros that stir the pot every now and then. It makes sense.

If you want a good fnaf character with a dark counterpart I would say The puppet/Charlie and Baby/Elizabeth would be a better example as they have way more in common (they are both daughters of the owners of freddy's, they both possess robots their fathers created, the animatronics they possess were both designed for the motives they have, they both lead the missing children at some point, they both possess animatronics with clown like attributes) while also being exact opposites (Charlie is the daughter of the good owner, Elizabeth is the daughter of the bad owner, Charlie wants to stop the killer and is protective towards the missing kids, Elizabeth helps the killer and is dictatorial towards the missing kids, Charlie possesses a robot designed to protect, Elizabeth possesses a robot designed to kill, Charlie tries to protect children like her father, Elizabeth's tries to kill children like her father) to where you could consider one to be an "evil version" of the other.
Listen, I was just hyped for something new and exciting. Yes, it makes sense in-universe, but at least to me I was hoping for something more unique to the chapter

“Hey babe wake up, the poppy playtime fanbase are complaining again”
I really don’t understand why yall are complaining about the nightmare critters being “reskins”, we only got to see 2 of the critters in the previous chapter (dog day and cat nap). Idk about you lot, but getting the chance to see 8 potential villains in this new chapter is so exciting! 🙄
I don’t think they’re gonna be villains, at least not all of them. Some of their characters seem to have their personalities based off game mechanics, particularly the alligator and rat. I’m not gonna get my hopes up but I hope we get to see more of the bat.
"But babe, that's every day"

"well you weren't around in the 80s, 90s, 2000s. So my argument is correct and you're wrong"
Just because they didn't grew up in the 90s or a certain era, it doesn't mean there isn't information on the internet people dig up and learned about it. You know, the definition of "Research". If that's the case then what's the point in historians who were never born in the 17th century or the 18th century? Wouldn't history be dead by now?
Also, this wasn't about weather they looked like from the 90s or not. They are saying they look the same as the critters from chapter 3 and need veriety. If he want to argue about them having a villian look alike, sure wario and waluigi are supposed to be similar to mario and Luigi. But if you compare with all of the design from those 4. They look way different from each other! And I'm not talking about color pallets here!
@@GhostDragon123 Rabie Baby is the Queen! If she dies next chapter, I’ll go out of my way to make sure everything in that factory meets a fiery end!
Though this argument that people are making about the nightmare critters is so stupid. The smiling critters are basically all clearly based off of William Afton aka the purple but the nightmare critters are basically a creative bi-product of that the way it should’ve been. Now they legit feel like their own thing compared to the smiling critters. Other than Baba Chops who lowkey feels like they’re trying to follow the trend that the Amanda franchise created.
I have a feeling we are gonna get to meet Ollie in true form in this chapter
Atp, people want to find anything to get mad about. There are people who will never be happy and will forever complain about everything. That’s just how the internet is nowadays.
Its just kids and teens getting upset. Poppy playtime plays off the 1980s and 1990s kids that grew up in those years.

Mob Entertainment: Why are you so mad about the Nightmare Critters?
Poppy Playtime Fans: There’s no shade on them?
The people say thats its because they feel like they're milking the smiling critters.
@@greydummy2702well I couldn't escape the smiling critter when chapter 3 release so maybe?
@@Skull_cat_the_great I think so 🤷♂️
@@greydummy2702how would they milk them there isnt a cow one
Nah fella the designs are awful too
I don’t understand why people get upset because they look like the smiling critters but they were literally made by the same company. Nobody gets upset about Kissy just being a different colored Huggy and they also are completely different animals than the smiling critters
(I love kissy do not take this the wrong way)
With kissy it's different though, Huggy Wuggy in universe was already popular, hence the creation of kissy, but this DOESN'T make sense, The Smiling Critters flopped in universe, so playtime co making a toy line of these new versions of characters which didn't even do well, is stupid and illogical.
@@ivorminecraftstorymode they might have been created at the same time? And with the fail of smiling Critters they probably just threw all the nightmare critters into storage?
As a lot of the nightmare critters seemed to be targeted to teens, with all the angsty stuff, while smiling critters were targeted to little kids.
I'm upset how ridicuously similar these look to something that Gametoons would make. They do not even remotely like Smiling Critters, but an off-brand cash grab and content farm sort of thing. You know good and well that the developers are building on the hype and basing it off of Gametoons, with their lame Killy Willy.
@@ivorminecraftstorymodeI keep seeing people go “but it’s different”
It’s really… not.
Your logic falls apart if you apply any level of thinking beyond name.
Wario and waluigi are the anti heros from mario and Luigi, but their designs are still very different, and I'm not talking about color pallets here.
Bruh FNAF have used like the same characters in like 6 games💀
Its called five nights at "FREDDY'S" for a reason y'know?
That's a different thing fella, it's five night at FREDDY'S.
Yeah same characters variants like toy Freddy weather Freddy Nightmare Freddy and SB Freddy, but the name of the game is five nights at Freddy’s so i guess it makes sense for them
@@greydummy2702so, like, your logic is... what exactly? "FNaF is different because...fnaf. while poppy is just a shameless cashgrab because its doing exactly what fnaf has done for the past decade, the only difference is its POPPY PLAYTIME!!" thats you. thats what you sound like.
Does only Poppy gets to have reskins and variations because she's in the title? But then how is FNaF excluded from being a cash-grab when it literally has a dozen bonnies? I dont see Bonnie in the title of FNaF.
See how pointless that logic is?
@Jeonru tf? Freddy and his gang are a core part of fnaf, also SB and FNAF 3 don't really have bonnie so idk where the hell you are going with that, btw I'm not the. Only comment that said this
Yeah this theme of the similar but opposite anti-heroes is super a 90s cartoon thing. They aren’t even the main villains. I wouldn’t even count this as drama, just a bunch of people not really feeling the new designs. I only hope they can make em stand out and be scary.
What can I say but that they look like something Gametoons would make? They do not seem like anti-heros, but just ripoffs.
@@JacobKernels yeah but I think that was kind of the vibe. The anti characters are always meant to feel like counterfeits. But I do understand exactly what you mean. I’m not sure if they’re the 100% right way to go but thank goodness they aren’t the main villains.
Yarnaby might be one of them old yarn dolls instead of a actual messed up pile of yarn 💀
PPL don't consider that things were slower in the 90s. Not everyone had a computer (and if they did, they had dial up and it was only 1 computer in the house, more if you were rich), and not everyone had a TV (and if they did, there usually wasn't one in every room of the house). Characters from cartoons would stick longer in people's minds and the whole "what if" factor (or new characters) was fan-fiction until it was officially made cannon (and that could have taken....forever. If it happened at all). Nevermind the fact you had to purchase cable to watch certain channels and internet was a box you had to have installed into your home (neither were always accessible to everyone)
"well you weren't around in the 80s, 90s, 2000s. So my argument is correct and you're wrong"

I don’t see the problem since it’s fairly common to see the villain versions of the main cast. A recent example is in OK KO. KO and TKO. Professor Venomous and Shadowy Figure. They’re literally hero/villain and the same concept yet everyone loved them

Frick yarnaby and nightmare critters, WE HAVE PIANOSAURUS

How are they being lazy I think they will do very good!!!!~°♡☆
I love poppy playtime 👇💫
I can see the complaints (I was a little like :( why are they just repeating it) but now I’m like, hrmmm this could be an interesting concept. Plus it fits
Wario and waluigi are the anti heros from mario and Luigi, but their designs are still very different, and I'm not talking about color pallets here
I don’t hate them, BUT I do hope they’re only little side characters. It does basically feel like a smiling critters repeat. I don’t see how the in-game element for these would change either, so I understand a bit of backlash. I think the fans just want to see different kinds of gameplay and original characters with more thought and design. Not saying this is all that comes out of ch4 of course
the only issue I have with them it just feels like them trying to milk it, even if “oh, well the 90’s did ___” cool concept I guess, but the og cast was plenty imo
Did I just see a dead plushie version of mommy long legs in the intro of the teaser????
Plushie???
It might just be picky
I was born in 2007 and even I know the 90s anti-hero thing like Powerpuff Girls was a big one for me where it was the gender bent (more evil) versions of them. So even though I’m not a 90s baby I still understand the tropes for villains during that time and I genuinely agree with you that the people that are hating on mob entertainment are just too young to understand what they’re really talking about.
as a 2000s baby i love the nightmare critters I see nothing wrong with them I love them I want them as plushies
Alright, since everyone has their own opinions/preferences, I’m going to try to give the most unbiased explanation of the issue at hand.
As someone who actually likes the Nightmare Critters(and the fact they’re meant to be the inverse/antithesis of the smiling critters) it’s not that people dislike them, it’s the fact it’s technically a retcon, even if they play off the fact that they’re ‘alter’ versions of the existing critters. Not a favorable marketing tactic, but there will always be someone to dislike that.
Secondly, it’s not that Mob is a bad company for doing that; it’s the fact that they’re doing it purely for marketing, alongside the fact they themselves are(and I mean this without vice) a questionable company. Between almost turning their product(Poppy Playtime) into an NFT project, and the reasons behind why so many employees/developers have left the company in the recent months(by the least some skepticism).
Again, I’d like to reiterate I’m not saying you should hate/dislike any of their work, and it’s fine if you don’t like it or their practices. I for one like the Nightmare critters(and again) it’s been stated multiple times they’re not the lead villains of this chapter.
Love the video, though! ❤
Why can't people just be happy we actually getting chapter 4
Yarnaby was in the most recent trailer, it seems he might be part of the line of toys that Boxyboo came from (who appeared in the multiplayer game that came out a while ago) and will be the main antagonist of this game
Their names are maybe a little bit wonky to me, but the designs are freaking cool. I can totally see them as rivals to the Smiling Critters in their show.
bro i love the Nightmare critters! i think its really cool that, while not solidified (its written but idk if they are gonna get the exact scents they wanted like with the smiling critters), they have the idea to give them scents like coffee, Cinnamon, chocolate and more, while the Smiling critters have scents like Lavender, citrus, Mint and more Natural scents. stuff you can grow while things like Coffee, chocolate and others used for the Nightmare critters are more man made, which makes me think thats a clue to their story, they are made for the staff/adults than the smiling critters who were made for the kids. (just an idea though, either way i think they have cute designs and i enjoy the colors they used for em)
I think these might be the last critters were gonna see. I mean. If they do more then there milking them. But I'll let them cook. The designs are okay so far. But.. Yarnaby seems to be a good original more creatuve character which im happy about. I just hope all other chapters are there own thing woth some references to past chapters as always
In my opinion I find this drama goofy I like the nightmare critters people can have a opinion but can you atleast be grateful that they are giving us new characters.
I prefer to wait and have unique characters than the same thing over and over again.
@@autisticwoman665 but the nightmare critters are not the same thing, there are different animals, different personalities and different scents, and different backgrounds. Sure they have the same ish body types but that's it.
@@Stayner_Studios indeed, but it doesn't excuse the horrible design and poses tbh.
@@autisticwoman665 I like the designs.
@@Stayner_Studios not me tho, they could've done better, especially Poe.
Let's not forget about bunzo bunny in the Easter comic
I just hope they done end up overshadowing yarnaby and pianosaurus
that 9th critter is just hoppyhopscotch just hideing
The Nightmare Critters are the antagonists of the Smiling Critters sooooo.
My thought is, growing up watching older 90's cartoons where the main characters usually have an antagonist that is similar to the protagonist only in reverse.
Could it be seen as lazy? Sure, one could say but in the universe it makes sense especially for the time that it's supposed to depict.
Dark mirror clones basically
Wario and waluigi are the anti heros from mario and Luigi, but their designs are still very different, and I'm not talking about color pallets here
with yarnaby the new released mob, the entire new chapter is about being watched on (eyes on the tv, cameras everywhere, the eyes taken out of the critters since you dont want to be seen by yarnaby) and the new chapter will be trying to maneuver the prison of playtime co whilst the guard is stalking your every movement with all the things watching you
I WANT BRON 😭😭😭
Le bron.
Meh, it would ruin the character, i feel like...
@GIGACAT573 How? He showed up in the trailer, it looked as if we were gonna be at odds him and he genuinely looked scary
I just wanted to see huggy and kissy meet
JUSTICE FOR BRON!!!!!!
I feel it all comes down to how the Nightmare Critters are in Chapter 4, especially if they are either Gigantic Creatures like Catnap OR are just like the Ruined Critters (mini-doll enemies) with unique gimmicks.
I really like the nightmare, critters and their design and how they connect to the smiling critters
While I don't necessarily have a problem with the nightmare critters, I do find it a bit disappointing that so far none of the chapter's main monsters were Bron or boxy boo. I remember also feeling this way when chapter 3's catnap was revealed. A cool character but I was genuinely expecting the chapters to focus on the previous toys as shown on the posters
They’re not the antagonist
1:38 I grew up in the early 2000s and even I know that a lot of 90s shows and TV shows during the 2000s at times had an antagonist to the main protagonist. If you have a whole gang of characters, the Nightmare Critters are supposed to be opposites and the antagonist to the Smiling Critters! The only "complaint" I have is that I feel like Mob looked at Eggritos' Frowning Critters and took some elements to create their own opposites of the Smiling Critters with a twist. But then again, that "complaint" isn't exactly a complaint, is it?
I love Poes name! He's a raven, and yknow who wrote that famous poem or whatever about a raven? Edger allen POE
I luv the nightmare critters, they look so cool
Well its make sense with the playtime company as well since they would want to produce more money to do more experiments. So getting an opposite versions of smiling critters. Which looks cooler than the original (imo) would make sense overall. This had to be most detailed mascot horror game so far in a narrative standpoint. As long as they don't copy and paste the story of the each chapter its fine.
My theory is that they wanna try to redo Chapter 3 flaws alot people didn't like chapter 3 for having too much puzzles no have less time with catnap and other smiling critters demonic forms....I think they wanna do a better version that fan wanted
The only I can say is that I hope we get more original characters. It feels like everything became about the smiling critters since they were introduced. Like they are starting to clitter the overall character cast a bit. Before them, we were waiting for characters like Braun (hope I spelled it right) to make a appearance but still nothing. Same with Huggy Wuggy. They keep teasing his return but continue to blue ball us.
3:07 “that were all specifically missing their eyes” BECAUSE THATS HOW THE IN GAME MINI CRITTERS LOOK
Of course people on X would be complaining
When other video games make character varients people don't bat an eye, but when mob entertainment does it then everybody loses their minds.
It couldn’t be anymore obvious that they clearly made the nightmare critters to reskin the mini critters for chapter 4. Not docking them at that. I’m glad that the nightmare critters are basically an original idea that are actually inspired. The smiling critters were basically based around the characters from Fnaf, particularly around the purple guy. Though with these nightmare critters, they allowed themselves to be a lot more creative. It seemed they were paying attention to what their audiences wanted as the nightmare critters seem much more 3 dimensional. I just hope they do a little more with them in chapter 4 than they did with the domestic critters.
1:12:
Finally someone pointed this out!
Tbh the nightmare critters look like oc's, but I feel it makes sense for the main enemy in chapter 4 to be the nightmare critters because we're on the same floor and not a new one
Why all the hate for the nightmare critters?? I don’t care if it’s not original, as long as it makes sense to the story I’m all for it.

I’m excited for the nightmare critters 😭
i had an idea if the nigthmare critters are meant to be evil smiling critters
and we were always attacked by catnap one of the main smiling critters what if the nigthmare critters are good guys
like they are thankfull for the player for killing catnap and want to help them out with the main antagonists oh chapter 4
AND NO ITS NOT BEACUSE I WANT RABIE BABY TO JOIN US BEACUSE I LOVE HER ok maybe it is that way SHE IS JUST TOO CUTE FOR BEING EVIL
Yea that’s what I thought too. Like they’ll end up eating the smiling critters and tell us more about the factory. I want to interact with Rabie Baby too but alas, best not ti get your hopes up. If she shows up and dies right away, I am not gonna be happy.

No, why the problem?I actually like the nightmare critters
PEAPLE cartoon designs from the 90s to today don't have that much difference in body type in order to save money.
I remember looking up the Were Bears toy line, the have an evil counterpart call Terror Teds.
I like poe because its the easist refrence to make. Its so simle its charming
Yarnaby is a playtime toy. It is confirmed in the ARG
Bro these are better then the normal re color that most cartoons do they actually feel like their own characters unlike characters likee the boy powerpuff girls who i originally thought was fanon
it could be somethign about a spider, due to spiders also having 8 eyes and being able to blink, maybe all the nightmare critters will combine into one and become one ginormous spider or beast
They have always been “copy and paste” the OG Critters were just reused models but the heads and color changed.
Im miss the old times mt mommy long legs huggy wuggy cat bee and all 😢❤

How can the nightmare critters be knockoffs?
They're all different animals compared to the smiling critters, just more "edgy."
Clothes and teeth as well as a Gametoons feel in them. Definitely knockoffs. I do not like them.
“a new set of eyes watching us in the distance” wtf are you on about there’s literally nothing there
Something's telling me yarnaby isn't the only main villain this chapter
How about on chapter 5 the dream critters will be revealed?
I really wish they would’ve focused more on the group of characters and mascots that were introduced in chapter 1 instead of making new ones like every chapter.
Its always twitter that starts a whole drama 😭
I was wondering those that mean The nightmare critter's leader is CatNap?
Eight sets of eyes is giving spider??????
Why is everyone hating on the new nightmare critters even? We should be happy new characters came out in the first place.
I actually thought they looked cool. I like that they are animals that are considered dangerous/scary. Smiling Critters were all domesticated and common animals seen in kids media. I can definetly see them appealing to teens if this came out in the 90s. I literally want a Simon Smoke plush and I'm 30 lol
I honestly like the nightmare critters 👍
I personally like the nightmare critters because I was born in 2000, but I watched the 90s (Also Monster high) show, and I really like evil opposite main characters who I really love the Nightmare Critters and the Smiling Critters all together. I just want people to know that whoever was born in the 2000 and never seen 90s shows
I haven’t heard any of this and I have X all people I saw have positive about Nightmare Critters even made artwork about them 😮
I have a theory. What if whenever all the mini critters consumed dog day,they created a 9th smiling critter.like a wolf with traits from every critter.dogday and catnap creating a wolf and other traits like bubbas Intelligence. Maybe also Same thing could happen to nightmare critters
Let's go back when poppy playtime chapter3 fan gameplay animations were trend,the fact the monsters of chapter3 in those animations were boogie bot,candy cat,cat bee and daisy....if mob do that its more better than redoing the smiling critters
I honestly like the nightmare critters
Yo N, I didn't think you would be into that
It wasn’t uncommon for 90s characters to have evil versions of them.
The powerpuff Girls had the Rowdy Ruff Boys and Powerpunk Girls. What about The Flash with the Reverse Flash? Starfire and Blackfire? Or what about Gravity Falls with the reverse pines? Heck the Fairly OddParents with the anti fairies and that every fairy in fairy world gets a anti counterpart.
calling it now once the chapter comes out all the people hating them are going to turn around and end up loving them
Probably ngl
They didn't even understand the lore connection
Yarnaby is on the new trailer
