Part of the reason I love the fact that the Janitor is fully silent is because I'd like to think he's very much meant to be a video game main character without any voice lines or dialogue options while all the other characters are basically NPCs, that's why to them killing the animatronics seems impossible to do while it seems so easy for him

The Janitor's work ethic is literally everything I want to be. Showing up, not giving a crap and whatever's going on and just doing your work. When it's break time, it's break time.

[@Fredo_StarRunner]

Same man. I go back to work tomorrow, old job I hate (wrongful termination and settlement thing, it's taken 5 months to solve) and I flat out feel sick to my stomach going back. If I could just turn that off, focus on the job at hand when I'm there, able to fully separate while on break, and finish the day.

[@codylindeman9783]

I think the character is super underrated. It was the main draw of the movie for me. He is peak masculinity. He has perfect integrity. He takes his breaks not because he wants to, but because he agreed to take the job and his boss told him to as part of the job. He cleans between the attacks because that’s the job he agreed to do. He wouldn’t have left even if the doors weren’t unlocked. My favorite part is that after each attack, he gives the remaining animatronics the chance to be peaceful. He only defends himself when threatened. Non-aggression principal taken to an extreme. Just like every other principal he has. I’m surprised James didn’t go more in depth with his character. Maybe I only care because I’m a philosophy nerd.

[@hommefataltaemin]

I had heard a lot of theories that Cage’s character was somehow related to the tragedies there, like his parents were victims or some shit but he survived. And the trauma is why he doesn’t talk, and why he has a lot of “childish habits”. He went into the town already knowing what the deal was, which is why he seems so unfazed and wanted to stay even when he knew what was happening. He went to the town specifically to kill the creatures.

[@danielm.595]

That does make some sense, I know that this movie is supposed to be a low budget parody, but it would be cool if in a possible sequel they expanded on that area.

[@gemstar7286]

They should explore that story in a prequel or something .

[@WDR36951]

Some people speculate that his parents were the first two people killed (husband and wife*) in the very beginning. So this was just a massive journey of revenge!

[@ironicanimations]

I love the theory, it doesn’t destroy his character of mystery, it just shows a really good reason why he’s so badass and “childish” and strong-

[@AquaticLotus7552]

My personal theory is that he is the Ash of this franchize, someone who has went through this song and dance so many times that he's just done with it all and tries to milk every benefit he gets in these situations, like strictly adhering to the breaks.

[@JetZV]

I actually really dig Nick's character in this movie. The dog tags hanging from the rearview mirror imply a military background, with possible trauma explaining the silent demeanor and nonchalant approach to everything. I also really like the breaks. The levelling up allegory makes way more sense when you notice that each break has him getting better at the pinball cabinet over time, culminating in him rolling the score counter over while also dancing. It being his workbench as he prepares to fight Willy again is also really fitting.

[@perpetus2514]

There’s a theory that he came to the town to get revenge on the robots which also explains why he doesn’t react to anything or leave when he has the chance to

[@ThermiteKitty]

It also feels almost ritualistic. Like, there's no proof, but I imagine that taking the breaks is an occult rule that allows him to kill the animatronics, which is why the other workers just died. Tex Macadoo wants the animatronics dead so he gives each sacrifice the hint, but any other person would either just try to finish ASAP or forget about taking breaks or cleaning after the first possessed animatronic attack.

[@margaretbush]

I think it also connects to the security guard characters, who have names but, no true identities. You can say the same for the teens who remind me of the teens from the silver eyes novels

[@pointmanzero]

He's a military machine. That's why he doesn't talk and he needs FUEL (sugar soda) for his electrolyte based fuel cells. The movie gives this away in the very first scene right after the tires pop. He stands there motionless as the sun goes across the sky. He is a machine.

[@margaretbush]

@@pointmanzero oh I see.. I was just giving some sort of comparison between the security guard character and his character

[@Mrshadowmind14]

A small theory I have on Cage's janitor: Given we see dog tags on his rear view mirror, he's got a military background. His fighting style and prowess seems to indicate special ops, or even a commando. A military background might also explain his insistence on taking breaks as he was ordered by Tex to take breaks. His silence could be PTSD from his time in the military, or damage from a previous mission. It's all speculation, but it would give a fairly plausible explanation for his skills and dedication to a job that he reasonably should have walked out on. (He had no problems kicking that chained door down.)

[@billymccrary2246]

Sound like an interesting theory, my dear good friend.

The breaks were probably the funniest part of the movie to me, and it only got funnier each time he took one. Nick Cage really said “fuck this”, and refused to do anything he didn’t feel like doing during his break. Mad respect.

I think it’s definitely due to how he got his Oscar pretty early in his career (which he definitely deserved).

I like the theories for this movie. My personal favorite is that Cage was actually one of the kids in the flash back that survived, and that he went out of his way to find Willies to put an end to the carnage and that's why he didn't leave when he had the chance.

[@jhtoxic7870]

It’s actually been confirmed in the prequel comic book that the reason the janitor went to Haysville was to avenge his brother who who’s killed by the animatronics.

[@canijust101]

i just started the vid but my favorite theory is that he’s performing rituals. like using old-school Magick or whatever to ritualize following his enemies’ instructions to a T (clean up the place, take regular breaks, use the game to have fun iirc) + following an oath of silence and using mana in the form of drinks. i might not really remember all the details correctly though

[@anikan880]

That my conclusion too

[@bunsenn5064]

My headcanon is that Nick worked as a janitor at the place a long time ago, and has past trauma linked to this place. He feels a compulsion to drink and take breaks as an impulsive return to normalcy caused by PTSD.

[@truecreation8803]

He’s not a robot. The movie is was depicting nick as the typical silent video game protagonist. Who’s able to defeat the big evils even though he’s a human and it goes through stages. That’s what the movie was. It knows it’s not a real movie with a good story or anything that’s not what it’s trying to be. It’s trying to be five nights as Freddy’s in a game form

[@eviebostrom3811]

[@rustys0rcerer702]

Ever since I saw this movie with my sibling, they came up with the headcanon that The Janitor is an autistic mute with diabetes and it just made me enjoy this movie even more. The strict scheduled downing of sodas to keep blood sugar up, the lack of talking and varying expressions, the casual acceptance of the animatronics coming to life and needing to be taken down, the commitment to the job even after the life threatening attacks; it all makes sense through that lens and we just love giving it that personal perspective to love the movie even more

[@d.ragonology]

I know people say that this isn’t exactly a good movie, as a FNaF fan I loved it. The comedy just…Hit home. The scenery and kills were sick.

[@break_the_galaxy]

As another FNaF fan this movie gets a 10/10 from me. Nick Cage did what no FNaF protagonist has ever had the balls to do (at least, not until recently), he did it in style, and it's weirdly cathartic to watch. I freaking love his character in this

[@1roxyfan491]

Same thing for me. This movie is way better than banana splits.

[@tessfabled4115]

@@break_the_galaxy It reminds me of that one fangame where at the end you go on a shotgun rampage against the animatronics haha.

[@comradedogma4957]

I think it stands fine on its own, but it's so painfully obvious that this was supposed to be the FNaF movie before Scott switched to blumhouse, with the backstory, the breaks, and (most obviously), the theming. If Scott let this be the FNaF movie, I think the community would have been completely outraged, and now seeing the FNaF movie trailer, with blumhouse getting *actual* animatronics, I'm glad Scott didn't let this be FNaF's theatrical debut. Warner didn't have faith or respect for the franchise, and it's clear that Blumhouse does.

18:31 The sacrificed serial killers are bound to the animatronics through a demonic contract. Nick Cage, by becomming a contracted employee, is granted the power to fight them. But this only works if he obeys his own contract, which includes the mandatory breaks.

Nick cage using duct tape as bandages throughout the movie is the most hilarious joke in the entire movie for me. Just the idea that he must have walked around on set for weeks with a bit of duct tape on his cheek, all for a really cheesy, super-nonsensical way to make him look bad ass, is such dedication to such a stupid bit that I can't help but smile at it

[@Poonchench]

I think the reason cage was so focused on the breaks is because the guy at the beginning made it clear that he really needed to take breaks. I think that cage is supposed to just do what he’s told and get out of that town as fast as he could so he did exactly as he was told as good as possible and dipped

[@Quesoquantum]

Also so he can get those noxious bathroom fumes out of his lungs ❤️

As someone on the Spectrum I took it as the Janitor being heavily on the Spectrum. Mute, objective-focused and during the Willy fight he seems in extreme pain and discomfort as the music is loud and sparkly lights fill the air. Which I relate to heavily.

It feels like Cage is supposed to be an animatronic designed to kill willy and his gang. he doesn't talk, he's incredibly strong, he has to regularly take breaks to 'recharge' and fuel up by drinking punch and is incredibly and takes the brakes no matter what is currently happening around him.

[@zekeram129]

I interpreted his intense other-ness as him just not being supposed to be there. _Literally._ He's an action movie protagonist that stumbled into a horror movie and completely breaks everything. Following this train of thought, the teenagers are the "intended" protagonists, the traditional teenage friend group that gets picked off one by one.

[@theshermantanker7043]

Not really, he bleeds as shown in the first encounter. He's meant to be a video game main character, which is why he never speaks
