How do you think Springtrap is genuinely more iconic than CHUCKY??

[Pyramid Head's Meat Socket]

Like honestly when it comes to the whole "bring springtrap to DBD" train I honestly never cared since many people want their horror favs in this game but come on now FNAF fans you're starting to get annoying because it's way WAY more understandable that Chucky takes a spot before Springtrap.

As an ex-FNAF fan, I gotta say I don't want to see Springtrap or anything else from there in DBD. People are just hyping from the movie being recent. I still can't quite come to terms with the fact it even exists to begin with.

Fnaf doesn't belong in DBD, enough said.

I was thinking it could be FNAF dlc. But was pleasantly surprised it was Chucky.

No idea, Chucky has been the epitome of fear of dolls for years. This will attract not only older fans of horror, but new people who are very interested to see what he's about. Appeals to a greater variety of people. That's great advertising for both companies.

Chucky and Fnaf both have a place in the game tbh. That being said my personal vote would've gone to Chucky for sure, little man's iconic.

Because kids. They disregard the past because this is what they grew up with. FNAF is more iconic in their eyes than any of these horror franchises from the past.

Next Killer is going to be "Generic Blond Dude From Fortnite", and his special power will be doing the Floss dance until the Survivor dies of cringe.

meh even watching some of the older films while most of the horror/scary movies the people seemed dumb in Child's play they took it to another level when people let a tiny doll murder them. If you watched it today you would of thought it was a comedy.

Mnhhh more iconic in the modern day maybe? Overall no, of course not, Chucky is retro horror slasher icon.

Springtrap is a good example of a more modern one though. I mean it's estimated to have generated at least half of what the Saw franchise generated in revenue, if not more than half. So it's up there with the current modern horror trends.

Springtrap's basically the guy responsible for mostly everything happening in the lore, the actual killer.

FNAF has a younger audience for sure, but Springtrap is dark and morbid enough to fit the DBD world just fine.
It's a child murdering psychopath whose decomposing body and soul is inside a crumbling rusted mechanical suit; bringing it back out of sheer desire for murder and revenge. That's about as metal as it gets tbh and fits DBD to a T.

The folks saying otherwise are looking only at some of the fanbase or thinking about markaplier streams, and don't actually know anything about the media itself.

They would be no more out of place than clown in a puddles costume, the legion Robbie Rabbit skin, etc...

While it's true that an in-universe image of Springtrap works fine, you have to consider the reputation of the piece of media he'd be taken from and thus the reputation of the character himself as a part of it.

All the iconic horror movie killers we have now are from movies that are iconic for a reason, Springtrap is famous for being a main villain in a le funny childrens' "horror" game that got dragged out for years. From the outside looking in, the killer would be a genuine meme.

Those are also skins for the killer and not the killer itself.
