someone at Blumhouse needs to reign in their female writers

- Vanessa is not the main character, spend less time on her (your) therapy sessions about her (your) shitty dad

- i know that you’ve enjoyed the latest bastardization of The Addams Family but styling Charlotte like your Wednesday OC is cringe

- will-they-wont-they romcom dynamics are clunky and boring when there’s actually interesting things going on in a story like ghost robots

- stop shoving in so many niggers everywhere. 3/4 of the school’s children were niggers and there’s a robotics class in the 90s? please

thank you for reading my review of fnaf 2
From what I can tell, there weren't any female writers on this and Scott wrote it solo, which I think really shows in how it's just a bunch of tropes stacked on top of each other and ends with robo-WrestleMania.

That being said, the DEI shit is just what happens when you put out a casting call that doesn't specify white only and unfortunately that's taboo.

It was co-written and produced by Emma Tammi. Go look at her other works or listen to her talks with MatPat, I can almost guarantee she's the reason behind Vanessa and her 'trauma' being pushed to the forefront.

Edit: almost all of her movies have female leads and have traumatic themes. It's her trope.
 
What the hell was that ending? I just went to this movie for the lulz (I knew it was going to suck, just like the first one) but… I was really confused most of the time

Isn't the movie set in 2002? I went to elementary school in the 2000s and I was in a robotics competition in like 2008 and 2009 as a kid, so it does kind of track with the era.

I remebered having robotics class once a week per where we put together Lego Mindstorms robots like these then go to a competition every year.

And I think its kind of foreshadowing for the present day since in FNAF SB (which is the most present game in the series taking place in at least the 2020s/2030s) its also implied that robotics technology is far more advanced than the potential we have for it IRL. If a 2002 robotics class already has better robotics than the classes I've actually experienced IRL in 2009 (where they seem primitive in comparison) then that means there is a huge emphasis on robotics technology in the film's world.

WTF that sounds badass as fuck.

All we had back in the day were wooden cars, model rockets, and Rube Goldbergs. You had to wait till you were a senior in high school to do anything more than that, like car mechanics. Hell when I was in high school they had just started teaching computer programming and web design.

The ending was sequel bait. Unless you're referring to the WWE animatronic all enter none leave brawl sponsored by "the power of friendship". I have no excuse for that, it's not very on brand for Scott and it's going to ruin the movie for some fans.

You're probably confused because of two things. First, the pacing was bad. Second, they expected you have played the games and read some of the books to make sense of the retcons in this third timeline. The plot of the FNAF movies take elements from the games and books to inform it's own cannon. They probably thought that would make it more approachable to people outside the fandom.

Yeah, I remember the Lego Mindstorms competition stuff in the 2000s.
 
And here I was thinking Scott finally dropped his "required non-canon reading" trope when Secret of the Mimic came out.
Secret of the Mimic didn't drop the requirement entirely. It's just that instead of being necessary, reading the books before hand makes the story more enjoyable. Which is still kinda unacceptable.
Man, all you gotta do is make a movie/game about robots trying to kill you. That's it. You did it several times, Scott. It shouldn't be this hard.
He has a retarded producer glued to his hip, a producer who's trying to make her name in Hollywood using his creation. Let's be honest though, Scott was never very good at telling stories. He was good at world building. It was the community theories that basically built his story for him with their 'predictions' that Scott would add in later as if it was always intended.

Considering the next in line is FNAF 3, that's going to be their chance to either turn it around or break the series right there. 3 is set in a single location, with only one animatronic(Afton) leaving Little wiggle room for the kinda shit they're pulling. If he's smart, he'll make it like into the pit to adapt it to a movie (willy will leave the fazbear frights and start skulking around town at night/skin walk as someone by incorporating the scooper from SL). If he's retarded then he'll let the producer co-write it again and she'll make it even more about Vanessa and her daddy trauma. Idk though? I'm not holding my breath either way.
 
The movie was straight kino. 8/10. Better than the chainsaw man movie. You can tell it was made for the fans and not the critics. But, my top 3 flaws would be
1. Ends of a cliffhanger
2. No actual fnaf style gameplay in the movie. We just got barely a hint of it. The MC should survive to 6am in FNAF3.
3. There's not really any segment like the tree fort scene in 1.

On a side note, I noticed that Chica called Mr. Burns "Mr.Berg" when she was about to kill him. Funny detail that.
 
I have basically zero lore knowledge. Are the movies in the "so bad is good" category? Will I able to enjoy it as a guy who has no nostalgic attachment to the games?

I caught the Mr.Burg moment too. Fucking sent me hard.

If you watch them for free, maybe, definitely won't be as enjoyable. For campy mascot horror/so bad it's good you could try Willie's wonderland. No FNAF knowledge needed.
Of course. Tale as old as time and Scott will be too nice to tell her to fuck off.
I don't know how constrained he is by Blum house but he definitely needs to push for her removal. But she's only damaging herself. FNAF fan base aside she's not really building a career by making critic flops.
 
I've also heard complaints from lorefags that the characters aren't like how they assumed them to be namely Michael Afton and Charlie/the Puppet but thats less of what I'm curious about.
Answering your question, in the games they are kinda showed to be morally grey or tragic characters who did bad deeds out of circunstance, meanwhile in the movie both are just straight up evil. I actually like how they are portrayed in the movie but it rubbed some people the wrong way.
 
I hope they go more of the game's route with 3, I'm not sure why but I've always digged the grungier art style of that game. I remember back when it first came out and I heard it was going to be set in a "haunted house" I expected to be extremely corny, but honestly the execution of that game is probably my favorite in the series.
