As a historian, I love how different this video is from your normal ones. I like how you focused on the story and didn’t go the route of “here’s a fact, here’s why it’s important”. This video was awesome and worth the wait just for your script writing and story telling abilities. All of it could have been wrong and I’d still have enjoyed the video

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 like how the story gives more personality to William, and showing he was it always a heart with it killer and the he actually cared

[@Firelayer1]

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.

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.

[@VanNessy97]

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.

Josh played Mike perfectly and gave us a fully fleshed out background on the character that I never knew existed.

Damn, to think I discovered your channel in primary school due to FNAF in Grade 5... I'm in University this year now, thanks for all the years of great content and all the effort you've made. It's been such a long and wild ride and we've all grown up a lot since that first video, thanks

The fact that Mat's sanity is still in tact is crazy to me. To think that finding out the lore of this franchise took almost a decade.

In tack? Well...not fully, personally i think he's sanity is leaking a little but i did see worse cases. So i guess in a way your right.

15:48 My theory is that both Scott and Matpat are the co-authors of the story. Scott makes the game, then watches Matpat try to make sense of it, and then the lore expands.

[@kingofsomething3250]

nah man Markiplier said like 60% of correct lore before it was even written

[@CouchSpud91]

@@kingofsomething3250 Not to mention Scott himself actually gave confirmation and/or shot down bits and pieces of Mat's theories. He straight up confirmed 95% of Matt's theory about FNAF 2 was spot on with that 5% wrong being the identity of Purple Guy.

[@kingofsomething3250]

@@CouchSpud91 he also predicted the entire plot of UCN right off the bat

[@lloydmartel]

Not just MatPat, the FNaF community in general. I think Scott had the story layed out for 1-3, but fan demand caused him to continue a finished story, and he made up hooks and got the community to attach said hooks.

[@-mekxta-9377]

This is giving me the most insane existential crisis but In the most amazing way. I was 10 when I watched your first fnaf video. I am now a month of 19. Fnaf lore, fnaf songs fnaf everything was such a crazy big part of my childhood that is the reasons I’m so obsessed with horror movies stories and games right now, and it would be nothing without your old videos. I remember me and my friends coming up with our own little theories with no research and incredibly circumstantial evidence but it didn’t matter. We loved doing things like that and having the insane realisations of more info from your work was mind blowing. This will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for being such an influential figure of my childhood

Freddy's pizzeria, a haunted affair, animatronic nightmares, in the midnight air. Purple guy's deeds, a sinister dance, souls trapped in animatronic trance. MatPat's lens, a theorist's quest, unraveling mysteries, putting theories to the test. FNAF's tale, a cryptic lore, MatPat's insights, we explore."
