at the end of "she can dispense ice cream" i can just imagine Afton leaning forward, eagerly, as if sharing a secret, you know? like, hes just. so proud of it.
I am so glad I found this video! When Sister Location came out and I heard Michael's monologue for the first time I was OBSESSED. So glad there's so many others who are just as crazy about him as me lmaoo
in my it makes sense for William afton to lose the british accenet because if im understanding the mimic era of the game theory fnaf videos, the Mimic would be mimicing american accents since most people around them are American, while its mimicing Williams actions its mimicking what it heard when speaking
if we have to thank the Mimic for one thing is retconning the retcon, burntrap is talking in the sb trailer, and burntrap is THE MIMIC!!!! so, the Aftons are still Bri'ish
Maby the american accent in the games is there to differentiate Afton and the Mimic.🤔 Burntrap is maby the mimic and Glitchtrap too. So I just hope that if Afton will speak in Secrets of the mimic, he will be British. 🙏 The movie could be explained by the consistency thing, that new people would be confused. The movie is for the fans, but it is also an opportunity to show FNaF to new people. Someone that doesn't play video games / read books or just someone who tries to watch some new movie.
>Afton was described as a snake oil salesmen and got his accent based of a "British people are evil" trope Thank god Scott didn't decide to describe him as an evil scientific genius even though that's where he ended up. In another universe the main bad guy of FNAF is called Wilhelm Anton with his iconic catchphrase "AI ollveyz komm bäck!" Actually, now that I realise he's a supernatural humanoid robot and his catchphrase is pretty close to the Terminator quote, I just put Arnold Schwarzenegger as Springtrap in my head and have trouble deleting that thought.
I take this as a headcanon that after losing all his close family (with the accent) after a while he lost the British accent and took on an American one, as an affect of living in America so long
12:22 just wanted to leave this here, as a slight correction. Micheal knew the animatronics thought he was William because during night 2 of sister location the bidybabs say “hello in there… is this the same person?”
As a kid I use to be most scared of Withered Bonnie, but when he got voicelines, I found him kind of endearing. No he's one of my favorites. Withered Chica has been bumped to #1 scariest animatronic now. Something about her jaw deeply disturbs me, and she's not endearing like Withered Bonnie is. I always imagine Withered Bonnie talking to Ruined Roxie. They handle their lack of face situation so differently; it would be entertaining to see them interact.
I’m not that super deep into fnaf lore, but is there any chance that micheal is scrap trap? Like his father tried to save/experiment on him after ennard was done with him or something like that? Idk if this is a running theory, i just got bored and thought about it since he mentioned mike being mistaken for William🤷♂️
I like how William died by getting into a Springlocks suit, and Michael died because Animatronics use him like a Springlocks suit, it's like Michael and William are the opposite of the other in every single thing.
I understand I'm very, very late to this video, but... was it ever actually explicitly stated that SL's second ending isn't canon? By all means, Ennard could've dragged Michael back to the bunker.
40:13 I’d take this as his appreciation of irony and parallels. Also he clearly likes to be in control and since those words were from his victims in his personalised hell, it seems he appreciates it’s his turn to prey on someone’s fear and takes the others lines as a parallel and or to take away from the others’ victory. Because they thought they had him, they thought they won, yet here he is *again* using their words to do what put him in hell in the first place. It’s condescending and gives the idea that he always had the high ground and their words of victory were nothing but amusing to him and held no ground, where as with him they do. And that’s ‘poetic’ I guess. He’ll always be the one that comes out on top. Edit: just carried on watching and you put it better ;-;
Loved this video. There’s a lot of to every piece of dialogue in FNAF but it’s so nice to be able to carefully craft this character of William Afton that has been such a crucial part of this series for so long.
Yeah, removing the accent was completely and utterly meaningless. Not only because the lines didn't even end up in the final game, but because there doesn't NEED to be an explanation for it! The US has TONS of people with non-American accents; hell, a while back, I went to the graduation of my oldest niece, and at least half the graduates had non-American last names, and I'm sure some of them had accents too! I know at least one of the staff did!
Hilarious how William showboats about his victory over Michael with all his "Le irony" yapping, but ultimately he's still trapped in the pizzeria, so he'll probably still be cooked on Sunday
