All fan theories in the freddy files are wrong?

[Kaleidio]

I am theorizing about the past theories, yes. As you can tell only SOME theories of fans are in the book. What if all of those fan theories were incorrect, and that scott was actually telling us those theories are wrong, and that we should look at them differently from how he wrote his interpretation on them himself.

This might mean its time for matpat and other theorists to revise, just saying..

If those theories were wrong, I think he would clearly say it.

Does he really clearly say anything about the theories tho? One time he told matpat "you forgot about one detail of the game." HOW CLEAR IS THAT!?

Your over thinking it, the book is just referring to popular theories in the community that may or may not be right

Point taken. Im sorry for this thread

[Rollerwings]

No need to apologize; this is a good thread topic. It was interesting to see which theories made it into the book. I'd already read most if not all of them online before and I imagine that would be true for most avid theorists.

Since several of the theories in the book contradict each other and there is seemingly no other option, for example Golden Freddy being a spring-lock suit or just an animatronic, and he's got to be one or the other, I imagine at least a few of the theories included in the book are spot-on and others are way off.

It's also interesting to speculate why certain theories never made it into the book and the reasons behind their omission. Mangle's gender, "Foxy is a good guy" and the adult theory are just three that come to mind.

I just thought that, the rejected theories, is not true/correct at all.

Of course not all the theories in the book are canon but some are, the ones that were confirmed at least.

I'm glad the book made mention of the theory that Phone Guy was the killer. He's my all-time favorite character and all, but the theory did have merit and even some in-game evidence (and I'll admit, at one point I downright feared it was heading in that direction) and so it deserves respect.

The only theory that I'd never heard of before was the idea that the day guard from FNaF2 was the Bite victim and that was why the day shift suddenly "became available" for Jeremy. Anyone else? Had you read all the theories before, seen them in videos, etc. or were some new to you?

Even after reading TFF several times, the theories mentioned in the book are so deviously worded ("Pretty interesting theory!" and such) that it's nigh impossible to tell whether Scott was implying they were right or wrong. (Seriously, think about it. Remarking that a theory is "pretty interesting!" could mean it's completely off-base or that it's dead-on accurate and you read it here first, folks. That book packed in a lot of low-key trolling in 161 pages.)

The book does clarify a few details in the game (purple guy is the killer and whatnot), but those are only done to help build off of the theories that it addresses and covers.

"In a series of seven mini-games, you're working to gain closure for the souls of the five children who were murdered at the hands of Purple Guy many years ago."

^Right there in black and white.

I'm probably the only person who doesn't know this but: What's the adult theory?

It's a theory that basically describes Baby's as a strip club. It occurred around the time the first few teasers for SL were released. I don't know the exact details behind it, but apparently it made so much sense at the time that Scott himself moved to disprove it as quickly as possible.
