The Story & Animatronics of FNAF JR's Explained

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

[@johnsolaas185]

I like how the animatronic designs look and feel closer to what animatronics actually look like. Most animatronic suits don't have many segmented parts to the costume. The withering also feels more realistic than the ones in the official games. These designs specifically seem to be based on those at Showbiz Pizza, the arcade pizzeria with animatronic designs that fell further into the uncanny valley than Chuck E. Cheese ever did.

What I always find funny is that after the investigation is over and Jeremy finishes the 6th night, as far as we know the Mangle is just kinda… left there. Unlike the Ghost, the Mangle is a physical object. So when Jr’s eventually gets refurbished and reopened, you KNOW some poor construction worker had to have gone down into the basement and seen that giant metal multi-legged monstrosity just sitting there. Imagine you’re clearing a building to be reopened and you just find a nine-foot-tall metal deathtrap made from the parts of old animatronic characters staring back at you.

[@alphynefurry9720]

However in the oficial games, mangle was named as “Funtime foxy”, not to be confused with the sister location “Funtime foxy”, and eventually got nicknamed as “the mangle” due to it being torn apart by toddlers, so officially, mangle wasn’t built out of the other animatronics. Tbh I like the concept of mangle being made up of other animatronics, just like Ennard, rather than it being torn by toddlers- but it’s not the official lore

[@Halo44327]

@@alphynefurry9720 the problem is the only time I’ve seen Funtime foxy named mangle was….fnaf world. And mangle is an official name in Ultimate Custom Night character description by Scott.

I think it's extremely interesting that this take on The Mangle winds up having some very fascinating parallels to Ennard from Sister Location. Both are horrific mashups of multiple animatronics with the one controlling it being the spirit of a deceased female child, and both were created with the intention of attacking one of the Aftons children. But Ennard was piloted by Aftons daughter and was attacking a living Afton physically, but bore no ill will towards him and only wished to steal his body. The Mangle, meanwhile, was piloted by one of Aftons victims and was also targeting an Afton, but this time it was the spirit of a deceased Afton rather than the living Afton. And unlike Ennard, Mangle very much bore ill will towards the Afton she was after.

Personally, I felt like that ending was too abruptly cut short. I feel like there was a bit more to be shown off there but the creator was at a deadline of sorts before they could implement it in fully. As for that arcade cabinet, I don’t think that’s meant to be operational at this time. I think that’s just meant to be for decoration and that’s it. Though I could be wrong and the creator may have something else planned for the game in terms of providing more content. Heck if true, it would be nice to have some interactions with the other spirits implemented. Many have ignored them so much that I don’t know if they have a presence of their own in the game’s main hub.

I really like how the creator decides to fill in the gaps of the story that have been unexplained, like who is Mangle? How did Fnaf 2 come into play? Expanding on unexplained mysteries is so good if done right and if they aren't even true. But I think it might be the whole point of Fnaf, it started off as a horror game that raises so many mysterious questions that have either been answered or not and I think that's why people loved it when it started, a mysterious horror game with so much unexplained questions that people can develop their own theories and stories. And Jr.'s, not only did it decide to expand on unexplained mysteries, but just the design of the animatronics is just so creepy and realistic.

It's fascinating how many years later, a series like FNAF still goes on and fans help expand on the universe. As someone who lived near the first and best CEC in San Jose CA, I've always loved the FNAF series purely by the setup and design alone. Same with JR's here with it's Rockafire-inspired design. I can't really comment on Security Breach because it's all sort of confusing to me that even MatPat's videos can't really clear it up for me, but outside of that I just find it amazing how a game about haunted animatronics continues to impress almost 10 years after it's release, both impress and evolve I should say. I don't play these games not because I don't like horror games, but I've seen Markiplier beat these games on the hardest difficulties and I don't really have the speed/strength for that sort of thing as I used to.

I think the Crying Child Paulbear theory holds up but its kinda a jump to assume Paulbear was a child immediately (probably bc of his size). Cassidy wouldn't have motive to chase after him all those years and his size in a bear "costume" may have just been due to trying to seem unthreatening to the protag while he is hiding in his mind. I think there is evidence enough to not quite rule out William Afton from the pool of characters, esp since the note left makes it seem that he is much craftier than meets the eye.

The game implies that Paul Bear escapes the barren and the spirit gets locked inside. So, under the assumption that they ate Cassidy and CC, how are they both later inside Golden Freddy? Other than that, every thing else was a great deduction.

This is probably the scariest fnaf fan game by far

[@wescrewyetlonely5704]

Why is balloon boy so realistic. I am genuinely terrified just by seeing that one part in the intro

[@tapseymoth803]

So a couple of thingies I wanted to bring up. Assuming the date on the check we receive is accurate to the date fnaf2 takes place, fnaf2 takes place in 1987 so five years ago would be 1982. 1 year before the events of fnaf4’s assumed date of 1983. Another detail someone in Astral Spiff’s discord brought up was that the mangle you can find in CC’s house actually looks like it has the little tail nearby. Of course this isn’t that solid as Im pretty sure these are different canons but I thought it would be interesting to share. Another detail that I noticed was that in the “foxy was haunted” image you can see a bunch of human like fingers clasped around his head. When I looked at the other hauntings I didn’t see anything like that. And I could be blanking on something massive but I don’t remember seeing foxy get haunted in the vhs tapes. All those details make me think that the ghost’s original host was foxy especially since the foxy parts are most obvious on Mangle.

[@BinaryHedgehog1]

I looked up the image, and there's something interesting about the way the hands are positioned... one pair seems to be holding the head from behind and other seems to be trying to pull it off from inside.

[@Eternus_transmogrifus49]

It’s pretty suspicious to me how Paulbear sounds a crazy amount similar to the words “pall bear” which means to carry somebody’s coffin. I’m wondering what Paulbear’s vested interest is in sending this guy to check out Jr.’s. Maybe he could be leading the protagonist to his death, or maybe he’s some sort of psychopomp (spirit, deity or entity that guides people to the afterlife)

Hey SuperHorrorBro, you probably won't see this but I wanted to say I've been here for a while, and I really enjoy your content. I'm glad you're able to share your wonderful personality and engaging content on this platform, and keep up the good work. By the way, if you enjoy a good fnaf fan game I would recommend the Glitched Attraction

[@leofoster6231]

It is Jeremy because in the fnaf cannon Jeremy is killed by mangle in the bite of 87 which makes sense now because Cassidy (who at this point is golden Freddy in the game) could control the new characters including the one she made the mangle to hunt down and kill Jeremy

[@maruchan_3479]

Jeremy survived

[@leofoster6231]

@@maruchan_3479 no he’s didn’t mangle literally bit part of his brain out and more than Fred bear did Jeremy died

[@maruchan_3479]

@@leofoster6231 Phone guy himself was the one that confirmed it back in the first game: “It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?” In case you were wondering… Yes, technically, you can live without a frontal lobe. However, you wouldn't be able to reason and form simple thoughts, and you also wouldn't be able to move. Also, I don’t know about you but getting your skull crushed is worst than losing your frontal lobe (then again Jeremy was and adult and Crying Child was a… well a child, so it would make sense that Jeremy had more chances of survival than CC, but at the cost of being paralyzed). I do agree with Jeremy being the MC of JR’s tho…

I always loved it how he explained the story, his voice is a perfect fit to explained the story.

[@Wise-Tribe9]

Gregory is the crying child, and Gregory is also Frisk, and that would mean that Gregory and Frisk are also Paulbear if the crying child is him. There is also a possibility that Steven universe, Patrick Star, and Ness are all Sans which is a friend/rival of Frisk, which means that Gregory is a Robot.

I agree.

[@SkytbmSwales]

I really like the way your content is based out Superhorrorbro. Its a mix of both Gameplay and Theroys/storys of games explained, it's really cool on how after playing a game, you go into details and analyisis of the BTS or the Story of how that games small story came to be. it's honestly a cool concept and thing. as well as whta makes me love tuning into SuperHorrorBro every once in a while.

[@gilbertotabares8196]

I've missed these. Feels like forever since you've made a lore video.

[@milkman4640]

Honestly, this game is probably the best in all of FNaF when it comes to designs.

[@justopher8487]

I really like the designs for this game. Freddy specifically reminds me of the design for Pooh in the Blood and Honey horror movie

[@multiplicityxc1093]

I like how this plays as the prequel to fnaf 2. My only issue is how through maze runner and mangle's sounds as jumbled code and dog sounds you find out that it's chicas child's soul's dog, or at least how i think it was

[@SleepyKatAlt]

I feel like episode 2 implies Freddy is getting therapy and Bonnie is the therapist and the Mangle speaks to Freddy and then the ghost goes to Bonnie

[@justatroopernamedhank585]

15:12 My jaw dropped when I saw this line of Jeremy. This is why I like this game.

[@mr.men9ce]

This game and it’s lore were so surreal to me that I almost forgot it’s a fan game 😭🙏

[@Rainbow_Kangaroo]

Cassidy and Evan (or Chris). Their relationship was not what I was expecting, where I thought Cassidy would see him as another victim of her killer, she sees him as a piece to get back at William.

[@badonkadong1625]

I love the story explain videos cause I'm too afraid to play the game and I personally dont like to watch gameplays and neither have money to buy the games, and he explains it in such a way that makes me wanna watch the story explained videos that I've already watch!! And the iconic music too AAAA I LOVE IT

[@nastaziamakri9480]

When you yelled Freddy's name i thought of this: "Freddy you are seposed to be on lockdown." And then every single meme imaginable from it

[@justinbuergi9867]

To me it almost seemed like Paulbear was William Afton. He was hiding from his victims in the ghost realm

[@pikasheep]

There's actually a JRs location in the FNAF games. In Pizzeria Simulator, when you play the midnight motorist game and get the Easter egg, there's a path you can go to and you see a building called JRs, I believe this game is based off of that. At the end of this fangame, you even see the same building from Pizzeria Simulator. I think that's pretty cool

[@kianblainepascua9246]

This fanmade game is even more terrifying then the original

this game was really well done. if they make a sequel i know it will be fire. well done to the team/ person that made this

[@jf_kein_k8590]

Paulbear and the ghost being these two sounds pretty possible. It could also play into the theory that these two shared the Fredbear suit/Golden Freddy for a while.

[@coyotepack]

But Jeremy was an alias used by William's son, i.e. that protag from FNAF:SL who got scooped but returned as a reverent.

[@toppler8164]

Jeremy was no alias of Micheal.

[@toppler8164]

However you do play as Michael in 10/20 mode in fnaf 2.

[@bored_storyteller1555]

Ok just imagine with me, what if the ghost isn't Cassidy but is instead Charlie from the books since her death and Evans death happened before the five missing children and Cassidy, and perhaps the reason she is so upset with Evan is that instead of trying to stop William as she did all he did was hide away, allowing his fear to keep him trapped in the barrins. I saw someone else in this comment section come up with something similar and it got me thinking, it's a small personal theory I came up with on the spot

[@amarikristopher8409]

11:00 This is so dang awesome yet terrifying. Mangle here looks so realistic like this was a real recording of her. Even the roar she gives when you flash the light on her is so haunting.
