Five Knights at Freddy's 2 changed the lore.

Yeah, this movie straight up took one look at the games and said,

I can do that better, and it might be fixing all of the problems we've had with the timeline because of it.

Hello, Internet, welcome to film theory.

So after years of waiting and more theories than you can count on one hand,

the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie has finally hit theaters.

I have to say, the culture around this movie really surprised me.

People I followed for years, for other things, came out of the woodwork to express their love for this series with this movie's release.

And that's just so much fun.

And like, it just really created an environment in the theater that felt like peak 2010's midnight cinema releases. Team theorist actually did a group outing, watching the whole movie together, and we really appreciated the energy of our audience. Also, shout-outs to the rad employee at the Cinemark Bistro here in Raleigh, who talked to me on the way out of the theater. Yeah, here's the theory that I promised we'd make, and sorry I didn't catch her name, my brain was in full theory crafting mode, but thanks for saying hi. But speaking of theory crafting, dude, there is just so much to talk about here. Like, first off, the fact that my friend, former film theorist, an official movie star voice actor, Matthew, completely disappeared into his role for this movie. Like, not gonna lie, if I didn't know that Matt were Toy Bonnie in this, I wouldn't have been able to clock it, in a positive way. But, other than that, oh boy, does this movie do a lot for FnaffLore. So much so that when Tom and I had our little huddle talk after the movie came out, we both came away with so many questions and ideas left to explore.

Like, what was up with that dream sequence Vanessa had? The puppet seems to have new powers here? What does that mean for the future of the series?

And oh god, a second mic has appeared in the movie theater. That right there is surprisingly huge.

We have a lot to talk about loyal theorists, so today I want to go through this movie and its plot to hit the biggest points of discussion and theorize about them. And by the end of our theory today, we're going to have a clear picture of what the future of the FNAF movies is going to look like. Because we're definitely getting like a dozen of these things. But here's the TLDW, the FNAF movies are Scott going back to tell the real story he always

wanted to tell, and putting the pieces of his mistakes back together again.

Get your Freddie masks ready and hug an animatronic chicken loyal theorists, we will always

belong to the theorizing.

So, the film opens in 1982, where we're introduced to a new character

named Charlotte Emily, attending a birthday party in the original Freddie Fasbears Pizzeria. This one

is different than the location we've seen in the first movie, like we talked about in previous

theories. Now, before, we've called this character Charlie, because that was her nickname and other

franchise material, but for simplicity's

sake, and also because this version of the character ends up being way different than any other
