Five Nights at Freddy’s 2: Retconable

Shirleon joins Melvin to summarize Five Nights at Freddy’s 2! From it’s lore-heavy beginning to the noticeably worse dialogue, the two share their opinions on virtually everything this film tries to offer. The two also ask: what’s Mike’s problem? Tune in now! 

Topics:

• (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 22-minutes doing a mini-Movie Discussion on the first Five Nights at Freddy’s movie as a general refresher, as well as seeing where Shirleon & Melvin are with the FNAF franchise; both the films and the games. (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
• Melvin is an old fan of Five Nights at Freddy’s. Shirleon, however, hasn’t played the games, and hadn’t seen the movies until this episode.
• Not 5 minutes into the movie and there’s already problems…
• Scott Cawthon co-wrote the first film. This second film? Scott Cawthon is the sole writer. Yikes.
• Bad dialogue, plot-holes, annoying characters; all in the first 15-minutes.
• Thoughts on the movie’s first scare with the Spectral Scoopers.
• Thoughts on the second scare: spin-class and nightmares.
• Virtually none of the characters have much motivation, nor feel the same as their FNAF 1 counterparts.
• There are legitimate plot holes, or at the very least extreme conveniences, that Melvin notices with the film.
• Thoughts on the third scare: Toy Chica avenges Abby.
• Melvin pitches a better version of the FNAF 2 movie to Shirleon.
• Talking the ending, post-credit scene, and final verdict.
