‘They didn’t give Afton a motive!’
Honey it took until the 5th game for him to even give him a name.
All we first knew is he was a guy that killed some kids and nothing else about him
Then all we knew was he dismantled the animatronics in the second games mini games
We didn’t even have a name in the game we saw his corpse and know how he died in the third
Nothing for the fourth like at most we saw him putting the s Bonnie head on some other employees head
Then we got a name and learned he inadvertently killed his own daughter through one of his own creations
The books might be considered separate continuity
But they have indeed given William Afton motive, multiple actually and seeing as the creator wrote said books
It could easily be considered just the character in generals motives
It’s only the first movie
They aren’t going to give us everything in the first movie
We barely got any mention let alone see Afton in the movie
They were focusing on the incident and Mike trying to find out who took garret for like a majority of the fuckin movie
We didn’t have a motive
Because it barely gave him any attention he got what 2 scenes that were only a few minutes long before the ending?
Like Cmon man give it time wait until a sequel for it
The games gave us nothing for YEARS
NO. THIS. LITERALLY THIS. ANON YOU ARE ON POINT
ITS SO SO SO FRUSTRATING TO ME WHEN PEOPLE JUST. EXPECT. THINGS.
I get how in a movie, you want to know as much as you can- ESPECIALLY when you have no prior knowledge.
The issue is when you think that this information is owed. You are not owed ANY information beyond what the basics of the universe are, which is explained by Vanessa. You know exactly what you're getting into- even if some of the specifics are left out. A motive is not by ANY MEANS owed to you. in ANY movie. A motive does not automatically make a character better. William Afton did not, by any means, need a clear and distinct motive as to why he killed the kids. The only motive we get- if you can even call it that- is seeing that Afton is a smug bastard who always wants the last laugh and to cut up loose ends which is something that only fits him trying to kill Mike.
And that is ALL that we needed for this movie. It is so so so SO frustrating when even FNAF veterans complain about how we don't know jack shit about William Afton. its like they completely forgot how slow we were to get ANY information on him. People really tend to forget that William wasn't even a real character until sister location, the second to last mainline scott era game.
Do I think Afton was handled well? not at all. He clearly needed more screentime, but I'm okay with what we got because as you mentioned there will be other movies. It is so obviously clear that even from the concept of the movie being fnaf 1 based that William Afton would have had very, very little to do with it.
Of course that SUCKS because I love william afton a lot and really wish that he could have gotten more time- but it's not like its a huge issue. This is not his story. It is Mikes. This is Mike's movie. That is all that it is and people need to calm down and find something they could actually critique about the movie

meet Gumiho, my shiny Delphox that I have in Pokémon GO! <3 he's going to be put in an anthro Pokémon universe.
I named him Gumiho because he's a MANeater. and the gumiho eats the livers of men. also I feel like kitsunes are overplayed, so why not use a similar myth from Korea instead?
