  I love how Poppy fixes one of my major issues with FNAF, which is that the affected children themselves don&apos;t get much focus or development. Only in 4 and some recent books do I feel the ghost kids are better developed as characters, but in Poppy they&apos;re really the center of everything, you&apos;re just their most useful ally! Especially with 5&apos;s memory sections, you really get to understand what made them the way they are and why they&apos;d have so much bloodlust for the HoJ.<br><br>Also, a detail I really like is how subtly child-coded The Prototype is. Sure, he&apos;s smart, manipulative, adaptable to failure, and has a grand plan, but he also loses control of his own strength with Poppy like a mean older brother, gets confused then blames it on someone else, didn&apos;t really plan the aftermath of the HoJ well besides eventually hoping to find immortality, is clearly trying to seem intimidating with his multiple voices, and ultimately his entire motivation for immortality is a fear of being alone...like a traumatized orphan.

  I really hope this series has a stellar ending. The buildup has been phenomenal.

  It&apos;s not the monsters that scare me, for some reason it&apos;s the fact that this somehow seems like something that COULD eventually happen, unlike most horror games that paint the monster as a unkillable entity, these are just children that were literally made into puppets for playtime co.

  Poppy playtime may have it’s flaws, but i think something i like about it how it makes it’s monsters be characters and people rather than mindless ravaging nightmares out there to kill you, even give them complex and morally gray reasons coming from a mascot horror game. Like for example, all the toys did pártame in the hour of joy lead by the Prototype, so they hurt and killed those guilty of their abuse and torture and even the innocent. Sure, some of them defected from the prototype’s side but blood is still on their hands.<br><br>There’s also the fact how poppy, one of the protagonistas does some questionable actions despite coming from good intentions given her grand plan is to blow up the entire factory to kill everything inside of it, even herself. But I think one of my favorite examples is doey the doughman. Despite being the titular character of chapter 4, he acts as an ally through most of the game until the fínale where he rages out after the safe haven is destroyed and boa es the player for it

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9p9mQDg2Is&amp;t=719">11:59</a> To explain the theater incident. It wasn’t just the toys that killed everyone. It was also a fire that broke out as there’s photos showing objects and toys that were burned in the fire. How that all happened it was because of Dr. Harley Sawyer as video released on Mod’s twitter account mentioned his name at the end as Laith Pierre demand to know who was responsible. In chapter 4 it further confirms The Doctor was the one who caused it all, even saying for someone so smart you would’ve thought he’d cover his tracks better, but it seems obvious he did it on purpose to draw attention to higher-ups as lashing out for being demoted from being in charge of the bigger bodies experiments.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9p9mQDg2Is&amp;t=805">13:25</a> This is a theory that we can consider to be canon, as Poppy begged them to let the orphans free, but he refused saying that if he does, they’ll be left with nothing. That explain why he took Mommy‘s upper half of her body and why he killed Catnap, he might know a way to revive them. Mommy’s lower abdomen may have been crushed, but with the poppy gel, The Prototype could probably just create a new one. It will also make a lot more sense to scrap the original cut on how a mommy long legs death, where it was her head that got pulled in the grinder, cause it’ll be physically impossible to grow a new brain that matches her exact consciousness.<br><br>All the other toys that were eaten are they likely impossible to survive.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9p9mQDg2Is&amp;t=769">12:49</a> To clarify, The Prototype was the one who told the toys that they can’t leave, Poppy even states that if you try to leave, he’ll kill you, even the Kickin Chicken cutout implies that The Prototype has killed toys who tried to escape.
