Remnant: Proof that the ride isn't over? [MAJOR SPOILERS]

[melissaduck]

According to the Insanity ending, when you look at the blueprints, William Afton was using the Scooper from Sister Location to not only "scoop" his victims, but to inject some substance into them called "remnant".

Apparently, remnant - whatever it is - is the reason Afton was able to persist after death: he injected himself with it.

When Michael got scooped in Sister Location, the reason his body didn't die was because he was exposed to remnant, his corpse injected with it as his insides were removed.

And apparently, one way to neutralize the effects of remnant is exposure to high heat, hence why Henry had to use the "kill it with fire" treatment to Afton, Baby, and Molten Freddy. And naturally, this is how Michael finally dies and gets the peace he deserves.

But what's the point to all this? Well... remnant is something that was just now introduced into the FNAF universe. Whatever remnant is, it grants whoever is imbued with it eternal life. Imagine all the possibilities that can come from this. Scott would be wasting a major story opportunity if he didn't go into further details about remnant.

Actually, it really makes me wonder... why inject remnant into the animatronics? We saw Ballora get scooped. What's the point of that?

If we don't get answers in more novels, we'll definitely be getting them in more games. The saga of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has a chance of being over, but this remnant stuff is a serious loose end. Hey, who knows? Maybe someone will make another Scooper...

If he made a new game i think he would be going WAAYYYYYY to far into the future of things.
But maybe and possible a Fredbears family diners game would be a good idea. But in everyway, this franchise is good where it is right now.

Remnant is just to explain Michael's Immortality.

Look at the blueprints related to the Scooper (labelled S.C.U.P.), and it talks about remnant in it.

But why introduce it so late in the FNAF timeline, with no explanation as to what remnant acttually is?

According to the blueprints, all we know is that it's a substance that needs to be kept at a certain temperature so that it's "malleable". It has to be injected into the victim. Also, too much remnant can nullify its life-giving effects. Too much heat also does that.

We don't know what remnant actually is, so we don't know how it actually works.

Because we know Michael and his immortality since SL, the previous game...

He didn't. He's immortal, because his soul fused with Spring Bonnie.

If that's true, then I must say....

BS!

That's even more ridiculous than the idea of the spinning discs causing the nightmare animatronics.

I have a very high suspension of disbelief, but that crosses it.

Honestly, a vague supernatural explanation for Mike and William surviving would have been better.

actually it would probably be good for fnaf if the series was over, they made it to six games and the only series that I can think of making it that far is halo (but call of duty will probably get into the hundreds before that series ends) but I have found some reasons why this game doesnt make much sense to the fnaf timeline most of which have to do with henry or the puppet but that's for a different discussion

He* made seven* games, not "they".

It's still pretty supernatural because Remnat binds the REMNANTS of people's souls into whatever it's injected into.
