      @Firelayer1 Год назад +141

      My interpretation always was the the bite of '83 made William kill Henrys daughter since he would see the death of his son as Henrys fault, at least partially. If Henrys robot didn't malfunction, his son wouldn't have died. So he wants Henry to feel how it's like to lose your child.
      And yes, Henry says that the tragedy stroke him first, but I don't think that he means the child deaths related to the story in general as the "tragedy", but rather Williams killing spree, which the bite of '83 isn't a part of.

They're more like random ideas Scott and his writers have and put into the world. Heck, the books themselves exist in the game's timeline as merchandise, as is shown in Security Breach with the arcade machines referencing the Charlie trilogy. But no, it's not a case of "The games aren't canon" because the books don't really have a timeline. The only things that are canon are the events of the games.

    I would watch all the FNAF videos ten years ago when MatPat was first making them. It was so riveting to learn about the lore and dive into the game, without having played it. Now, ten years later it is crazy to think of how far we have come. I watched the movie last night, and let me just say, fan or not of FNAF - it was an amazing movie. Josh played Mike perfectly and gave us a fully fleshed out background on the character that I never knew existed. I was freaking out to all the nods made to the games and I can thank MatPat for helping me to learn all of those. I was screaming when MatPat had his cameo and said "it's just a theory." Bravo.

    This makes sense why Bonnie is suddenly gone in Security Breach, it was the fact that Afton held so much jealousy and anger towards the bunny that replaced him. Bonnie was a far more popular mascot than Afton's original Golden Bonnie ever was and he couldn't stand it, even as a glitch who was infesting the new animatronics.

      I still hold onto my headcanon that Vanessa is the one who decommissioned Bonnie, and she pinned it on Monty so no one would investigate her and find out that she doesn't actually work at the Pizzaplex, let alone find Bonnie's chassis in a charging station inside the underground pizzeria. She needed that chassis to bring her boss back. And she needed Monty to take the fall so she could work on her passion project in peace.

We should be absolutely give this phenomenal man all the respect because of it wasn’t for him when he started way back in 2014, then even years later the lore of FNAF despite being all over the place would still never have been such an icon of memorization today.

    It really is heartwarming to know that Matpat really cares for FNAF, even apart from his channel and job. That he's so dedicated to it that he's been solving it for a decade and will doubtless continue in the future. I always love to see him upload a FNAF theory.
