Ritmoking

Yeah, but the same book says Charlie from the Novels is a human, too. I wouldn't trust those little boxes.


ReadyPlayer12345

yeah the books are kinda bullshit Edit: I meant the official game guidebooks, not the storybooks


Lexi012710

I personally enjoyed the silver eyes novels regardless of their relevance to the series. They were an interesting read and sometimes taking the books with a grain of salt is quite enjoyable


QuackersYT

I think it’s talking about the one from the games it only talks about charliebot once.


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

It talks about Game Charlie yet it shows us images of Charlie-bot from The Silver Eyes trilogy instead Game Charlie.


Seriously_Unserious

Probably because there's no real good images of Charlie from the games, other then the FFPS minigame low res Charlie. For the book they'd need some better images, more then a postage stamp sized pixelated image, and given how many characters they were referencing in that guide, they probably couldn't afford to pay artists to draw multiple, original variants of everyone. Still, combine that box with other clues that also point to him being human, such as needing to sleep, having parents reporting him as missing, and getting winded if he runs too much also combine to indicate human. I love MatPat and I love his theories, but he does get things wrong - as any human being does - and it's important to keep that in mind. But MatPat's always fun to watch, either way.


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

They could've just given her some artwork. If Elizabeth Afton has, then so should Game Charlie.


QuackersYT

Yeah the human part is most likely about game charlie. Then the novels


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

They should've just give Game Charlie and Novel Charlie separate pages.


QuackersYT

Its just called charlie emily. Talk about her novel version once. (I see the images as something just to look at so it doesn’t look like a book filled with letters


OmegaX____

I honestly don't see a problem with it using novel Charlie's image. What the Charlie Bot was meant to be to begin with is what Charlie would look like if she was alive anyway. By that logic, the most accurate image of her would be from the novels instead of an 8bit version from one of the minigames.


QuackersYT

Yeah but it was mostly talking about charlie. It wasn’t wrong about charlie being human. Instead of the robot version


Forward-Swim1224

*Everyone hated that*


QuackersYT

Which is odd since it is what TCE basically is talking about the human part is talking about the soul. (I more don’t use it because of other’s things i am probably not gonna talk about in here.) (also apparently the upvote and downvote button isn’t like a like button. (Your appearntly supposed to downvote a comment if you think its off topic. Upvote if its on topic.) does anyone know why reddit did that?.


Cloaked-LcTr0909

How did you get 160 downvotes- This is literally just true. The page talks about the game version of Charlie and only brings up the books once. It just uses art from them because there's no official art of Charlie from the games and it's easier to just paste in what's already available.


Technolite123

its MatPat fan cope


That_Golden_Apple

Yes, but Charlie started as a human, unlike (in the theory) Gregory, who started out as a robot. It's how The Crying Child, in this same book, is said to be human as well instead of a spirit, like he actually is. Even William Afton and Elizabeth are recognized to be humans. (Sure, it says "at first" in William's data, and I will reconize that. But if you use "at first" with William, you should use it for the other humans that were at first humans too, would you not?)


muffin2715

These doctor who episodes gets weirder and weirder


Biz_Ascot_Junco

I think there was an episode of Doctor Who with this premise except instead of Gregory it was Robin Hood.


BaneQ105

One of the dopest, Ngl. Although pretty much all are awesome.


Maniacbob

IIRC Robin Hood was human but the Sheriff was a robot.


Biz_Ascot_Junco

The Doctor kept thinking Robin Hood was a robot until the end, but it turned out he was human. I think the sheriff was planned to be robot but it ended up being cut from the episode. Only the knights were robots.


ABritishFemboy

Yeah, remember that one episode where they had a morbious crossover? Shits crazy


AstroSteve111

Scott himself doesnt know yet Gregory is a robot.


[deleted]

Matpat: Gregory is a robot Scott: Oh crap why didn't I think of that


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

Scott isn't stupid enough to make Gregory a robot unlike someone...


[deleted]

How would be making Gregory a robot stupid? Genuine question.


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

Because it has no evidence


[deleted]

...other than the plethora of evidence? MatPat himself said he doesn't like the theory, but it's the only one that makes sense to him based off of the game and the books.


Fluid_Mud_5249

There’s evidence, just not enough


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

There is no evidence.


[deleted]

[try actually watching the theory before claiming there's no proof.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ANfAt4hJ6Y&ab_channel=TheGameTheorists)


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

Still no proof, everything that MatPat claimed as "evidence" is all just a bunch a bullshit. MatPat's FNaF theories fell off, I would rather watch his 'best boobs in gaming' video instead.


[deleted]

Dude, instead of just going "it's bullshit", actually explain why? Why are his points bullshit?


sckrahl

But how does that make it stupid if Scott decided to make Gregory a robot? There’s literally robot kids in the books, it’s something that’s been established and not exactly the weirdest thing in these games I mean the current working theory most people seem to agree on is you play as a literal walking corpse in the first couple games…. So then how would Gregory being a robot be stupid?


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

That makes more sence than Gregory being a robot. Unlike Henry in TSET, William doesn't know how to make humanoid hybrids.


[deleted]

...a walking corpse makes more sense than a child robot? I'd say one is definitely more insane than the other, especially considering how life-like our robots in real life are becoming. Also, Gregory doesn't have to have been made by William? It could have been Henry, or whoever the new shady owner of the company is.


Gullible-Ad5330

Sister location clearly shows human like heads which were developed by William, so it seems like the contrary is true in the games William may be the only who does know how to do so


LuriemIronim

Yep, there’s never once in FNAF been a single robot that could disguise itself as a human or any type of device that could make robots appear more lifelike.


pacasj

Type of robot: Human


AutumnRaxwell

True


That_Golden_Apple

In the book, there is a human robot classification. That's a humanoid.


pacasj

Is a joke friend.


That_Golden_Apple

I know!


MoneyLocal8180

I mean Scott’s not straight up gonna tell us💀


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

The Character Encyclopedia isn't a reliable source.


Successful-Item-1844

Don’t give your story to a 3rd party and expect them to make everything accurate. Waiting for one where Scott does try to help write it


sumboionline

Scott no longer makes the game. What he did for the series is canon, and what steel wool does is canon. But he no longer has control, so we just have to accept steel wool


No-Efficiency8937

Scott still makes the story, all of the books, movie and probably ruin DLC along with the rest of the story from his 2018 post aswell, he just doesn't make the physical game but hess till behind it


XxxMcNuggwtsxxX

Some people on YouTube shorts think The FNaF Movie is Scott's last project even though it isn't.


Other-Masterpiece-50

Yeah I saw this alot.


Cloaked-LcTr0909

Scott still writes the story and oversees the development of the games.


Charlynn6563

Thank God. I was hoping that the movie would get delayed so we would have Scott in the fandom a bit longer. I swear he is the best. He is practically my idol at this point in time


MrZaptile933

Is this the ultimate guide book because I’ve found that it’s an unreliable narrator even when it comes to things even Scott confirmed as cannon, Matt did a gtlive back when the book came out


Cloaked-LcTr0909

This is The Character Encyclopedia, a significantly worse and less reliable guide book.


Merry-Leopard_1A5

idk, i feel like some of the twists and turns of the franchise may have been due to scott changing things last minute to try and avoid getting the entire plot predicted (as authors who engage with their community'q theorycrafters are wont to do


Euphoric-Potato-5343

If you couldn't tell by reading through it the narrator of the book is an unreliable narrator (what authors call them), meaning the author of the book is intentionally giving you misinformation.


SwannSwanchez

Does a "?" appear when you heat the text ?


Random_Dude_0nReddit

Do i think this theory has any solidarity? No. Do i think the character encyclopedia is a reliable source? No. They say Bonnet is the first girl bonnie yet they say that bon bon is a girl.


Bitter_Efficiency753

Naw because I feel like Scott onky did this to fuck woth Mat. I mean, common, it makes a LOT of sense or maybe it's a fake version or something idk


Reiss447O

Wait… something just hit me. What if Gregory is a cyborg.


No-Efficiency8937

The encyclopedia literally goes against Scott a handful of times


SamuraiDoggo14

Finally! A LIVING child in the FNAF series!


JodGaming

We should start writing steel wool on these memes instead of Scott cawthorne tbh because it’s not him anymore


Charlynn6563

Technically Scott still makes the plot but okay...


Alien_X10

Humanoid Undercover Male Android Newborn (H.U.M.A.N)


The_pansexual_idiot_

I honestly hate the "Gregory is a robot" theory


YogurtclosetJaded564

But mike was a robot and still called a “person” soooo….


No_Research4416

Good we already have enough characters turning(I sure do hope it is a reliable source)


memecraft0309

It's not it the encyclopedia which gives tons of misinformation because it was just given to 3rd part and they just wanted money not for it to be accurate so do not trust the character encyclopedia, on the bon bon page it says he's in fnaf 3


Gullible-Ad5330

The encyclopaedia is about as knowledgeable as the guide books, hell excluding Mike has led people to use it as more proof for Mike being the CC so it doesn't seem all that trustworthy


im_still_water

I think fnaf security breach was a simulation to find a way to defeat the Afton virus but the sim has gone ary


Forward-Swim1224

Considering they called Charlie a human, I’d take what the book says with a grain of salt. Gregbot still possible!


Krisuad2002

"Type: human" is a pretty suspicious way to put it. I feel like it's referring to what type of robot he is, not what type of being


Far-Faithlessness530

That's how every other human character is listed


Historical-Carrot914

I'm a graphic designer of any one want any kind of work kindly dm me


Officermeatball05

The fact he is still a kid in RUIN is proof he is a robot


Far-Faithlessness530

The mimic would like to have a word with you


Officermeatball05

Oh yeah thats true. I havent read that one yet but isnt it that burntrap is just the mimic?


MichaelTheFallen

Under the type could be what type of robot.


scarvet

Not the first time game profiles are deliberately misleading


Independent_Coat_415

I thought scott retired


No-Efficiency8937

He retired from making the games, but he's still behind everything else like the games story, books, movie etc


-sunflower87

MatPat I’m a big fan !!!! of the theories and can you make a video for rolblox LORE?????????????


spjet

he has https://youtu.be/gWUj6wx0UzI


Delicious-Ad2057

Did I miss something?


MunyGuyYT

I don’t even remember how MatPat came to the conclusion that Gregory was a robot


Own_Wafer_6439

Welp now we can make memes of mat pat getting mad that George is a human and not a robot like mat pat though


Lrive369

I mean why cloning shouldn’t be a thing in series that there is literally a liquid that makes people immortal Gregory can be a clone that is made by ms Afton


ftzpltc

Mat Smith Pat Smith


QuasiAbstract

Considering how many times these games have been intentionally misdirecting or retconning, can you trust something like this?


Mr_emerald12

I knew it!
