My Honest Thoughts About FNAF 2My Honest Thoughts About FNAF 2Hey, so I finally watched FNAF 2 with my bestie, but I wanted to be honest about my thoughts on it. All I really have to start with was that it wasn’t what I was expecting at all.
Oh boy. I can't even lie; the movie was a straight up atrocity. A dumpster fire, if you will. There WAS one good thing that came out of it, but I will get to that at the end. :P Let me just get all of this plot rambling out of the way, first.
Before I become a total negative nancy, I will say that I genuinely really liked the beginning to about.. the first half or so? of the movie.
As my irl bestie says, the opening scene was just phenomenal. Everything from Spring Bonnie (William) dragging that boy inside, Charlotte crying to all of the parents, her scene with Vanessa, etc. were great. I really loved seeing Spring Bonnie again for.. well, obvious reasons.
I also liked the tension in the beginning with Mike, Vanessa, and Abby. Mike wanting to move forward made sense. Abby wanting to restore her “friends” made sense. Vanessa wanting to warn Mike also made sense.
I thought that Toy Chica misleading Abby was actually a pretty clever idea (aside from the fact that I definitely think they milked her a lot for *certain* fans.. all the guys in the audience were shouting at her).
With the science fair bullshit and beyond, things just really fell apart. I can't even describe every single thing in detail because I kind of just started zoning out at this point, BUT…
I remember really hating how the animatronics interacted with the real world. I hated the onslaught of “meatbag characters” (term in writing for characters that just exist to be killed and serve no real purpose to the story). There were also just way too many animatronics; some of which hardly even got any screen time. I was so bummed that I hardly even got to see Foxy. :/
I was okay with the Charlotte subplot until she started possessing people (... like that Abby scene) and controlling all of the animatronics. I guess it makes sense with the animatronics, but it was all just a whole big pile of WTF. And Michael Afton.. what the HELL were they thinking?!
I really hate that they split Mike(Michael?) into two separate people. From what we'd gathered in the games, he was just a guy trying to get his shit straight and redeem himself after what he'd done to the crying child growing up. Seeing him turn into some random murderous edgelord with no reason or explanation is just super weird and jarring. I wish they'd just kept “Mike” and tied Michael Afton's characteristics in or just had inspiration. To be honest, that's probably what they were going to do, but then just retconned a whole new dude. I really wish they didn’t. I think the main excuse was just so they could ship Mike and Vanessa without it being incest, lol.
Speaking of Vanessa, I just didn’t really like how she was portrayed in this movie. I know that, under the weight of her childhood trauma and father’s death, she changed a lot, but I just… really miss the confidence she had in the first movie. She was even traumatized back then and still put up that front. As I said, I zoned the hell out through the entire second half of the film, so I can’t remember *everything*, but I just really remember not caring about her at all. Also her getting possessed by Charlotte at the end right after she spoke up to Mike about basically standing for the opposite?! WTF.
Mike’s an idiot as usual so idc. I also kind of stopped caring for Abby-not that I ever really cared for her much to begin with.
I’m sorry, but I’ve really lost interest in Vanessa as a character. I can’t really call her my wife anymore. I was expecting to drop William, but it ended up being the total opposite. I’m going to remove her shrine from my website and that will be that. I would archive it, but I kind of just hate my OC and their story. I thought it sucked from the beginning, but there was so little to work with that I kind of just pulled stuff from my ass.
The whole thing is just such a dumpster fire and disgrace to the first movie. It stings because I love the first movie so much.
ANYWAYS, enough rambling and complaining.
Holy shit!! I've got amazing news related to the movie. Heheheh.
I’ve become heaps more obsessed with my ship from the movies-not my selfship with William (love that, too), but William/Vanessa. I shipped the two rather lightheartedly in the first film (that choking scene and that look of remorse as he stabbed her both got me), but now I'm nuts over them.
The dream sequences with William screaming and shouting to Vanessa that he loves her, she's his favorite, and that she is his child over and over again genuinely made me blush lol. There was just so much going on, so much chemistry. William’s really got a thing for Vanessa. Even if it wasn't intentional, I could literally smell it through the screen. My jaw just dropped to the floor the whole time. Hell, even “Michael” Afton is jealous of his father's obsessive love and favoritism for Vanessa and wants in.
I'm not usually into incest pairings, but this one takes the cake for me. It's replaced Jilco as my favorite daddaughter ship. Jesuuuuusss.
I might take a break from my long ass Jason story just to write a little thing for them. Gonna draw some (OR A LOT) for them, too. I’m feeling it so much. I’ve got a real passion for these two. Lowkey, I’m more into them than my selfship at the moment. I love both so much, but they’re just so fucked up that I can’t get enough. ;)
Catherine is on the back burner for a little bit atm, but she definitely has a place in his world. Trust. ;)
I'm honestly super disappointed that they didn't include more about Vanessa's dynamic with William or even the rest of the family. William’s got a clear favorite; he even says so himself. But it's whatever ig, the movie sucked anyways.
