Oh yeah while looking up info about the situation, I discovered that good ol' Benbo Quest's creator made fun of the situation by copypasting the Tweet that made the situation known in the first place.

Add it to the pile.

It really feels like that, and rushing to get to the parts he personally is most excited about.

Really unfortunate that this series isn't in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. Because even after all this time, I STILL think it has some potential.

And I say that KNOWING who these characters are and their roles in the games. Some of my fondest memories from that time of my life involved theorycrafting with friends and looking for pieces to the puzzle in the little hooks Cawthon would leave around.

So like... the fuck is he doing?

Because the plot is otherwise a mess, from an outsider's perspective.

For sure. Keeping it simple and straightforward without the extra lore and sequel hooks would have been fine. It would hardly be a blockbuster, but it would still be fun. And I guess people still enjoyed it, but reading through the plot myself... I don't know why. I assume because of the puppets.

All this too, yeah. It was doomed to be an incomprehensible mess.

And yes, on all fronts: Fuck that guy.

The writing worked in the games (at the time at least) because it was very “show don’t tell” in a way a movie kinda can’t be. So of course his writing is bad in this format. There’s nothing to hide the imperfections.

essentially, any commissions i get will go towards being able to feed myself and keep my house warm for the rest of the month. it's been a fucking struggle and i am desperate to get back into work, i've been applying for jobs daily for MONTHS and i have had literally NOTHING. it's so disparaging.

The fuck? Lmao.
