General thoughts of the movie (no spoilers): I personally had a ton of fun watching it and I think all other fnaf fans will too, but I understand people's complaints about it not being scary enough.
It had some real hype moments and the set/animatronics looked absolutely amazing, 8/10 👍 currently rewatching it
Realized how often the Narrator anthropomorphizes things in the Ultra Deluxe in order to encourage or bait Stanley. Which is so much different than how he was in the past endings, specifically the apartment ending. The way he now refers to all the different quotable and memorable objects in the game as Stanley’s friends.
There’s just something about the way the Narrator does at least deeply try to relate to Stanley’s need as a human, understanding more that we are sociable creatures. Giving us the bucket as something to cherish and playing along with the notion (despite getting very obviously upset when Stanley gets too attached to the bucket and then tries to break down that narrative). The attempt made to actually reach out to Stanley in a human-like way.
I don’t know where I’m going with this but the attempt at connection through the similar actions of a person or something like that. Acknowledgement of human needs, even if it's more or less the bare minimum effort.
[ID: Digital doodles of The Narrator and Stanley from The Stanley Parable. In one doodle narrator sits in a chair, hunched over and chin resting on the desk, behind the chair there is a dark figure, this is drawn in red. On the upper left in a cartoony style there is a small drawing of stanley biting the narrators cheek and dragging him, the narrator is struggling, to the left is the words: "Was gonna do a “slice of life” comic where stanley forces the narrator to go sleep, but then i decided it was more likely that it would be the other way around. .. . .. And then i didnt draw that lol."]
[ID: A digital doodle of The Curator, Mariella, and Settings person. In blue, the curator is doing a pose where one arm is bent up and the other vice versa, she is looking at the viewer. In another doodle is her face and she looks tired. In another doodle is Mariella is on her back, legs and arms up in thr air, balancing a person thats supposed to be the settings person on her feet and hands.]
[ID: Two images of digital doodles of curator and mostly Mariella. In the first image is two doodles od Curatoe, one of her with no eyes looking up, another with her hands behind her back and her smiling. Another doodle of Mariella. In the second image is two doodles of Mariella, one with her taller and a hand behind her head, the other with her shorter and hands on her hips.]
I really just find it so funny that the most controversial, fandom dividing, bastard character, is NOT the actual canonical serial killer. Hatoful boyfriend is such an interesting game lmao.
