With Five Nights at Freddy’s finally out, fans are enjoying their favorite horror game being made into a movie, although the film received mixed reactions from critics and general audiences.
While watching the film or even playing the games from the franchise, everybody notices one thing: Bonnie the Rabbit is the first one to kill the night guards. So, why is Bonnie the most aggressive animatronic of all?
Bonnie the Rabbit is the most aggressive animatronic out of the four because Scott, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, designed him to be the scariest as Bonnie constantly haunted him in his dreams. While no other reason is revealed in the lore, it is also speculated that Bonnie faced the most trauma out of the four animatronics.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Why Bonnie Is the Most Aggressive Animatronic
To divulge such a complicated topic, fans of the film need to understand a few things about the original games on which the movie was based.
No matter what kind of a player you are, when you play Five Nights at Freddy’s video games, Bonnie the Rabbit is the one that kills your character the most.
He is often seen hiding behind a door, and once the player lets their guard down, Bonnie jumps on him, leaving no opportunity to secure a kill. This is also the case with many newcomers.
Even in the film, Bonnie was the first animatronic to attack Mike, though he survived due to his resourcefulness. So, what could be the reason behind his aggressiveness?
While neither the game nor the film has provided a backstory for the character, fans have a few speculations that make sense. Furthermore, the creator, Scott Cawthon, also expressed why he feels Bonnie to be the scariest animatronic.
While creating the Five Nights at Freddy’s, Scott apparently had nightmares in the form of Bonnie, as it was the first animatronic he introduced to the game, so he also made it the scariest with both the costume and in terms of frequency at which it appears.
Meanwhile, fans on social media platforms have a few theories on why Bonnie is the most aggressive animatronic. Here are a few sensible speculations:
“I like to think that out of all the children, Jeremy took the whole “forever trapped in a metal coffin with no way out” thing the least seriously. Hence, the face puns that Withered Bonnie makes, either due to age or as a coping mechanism. It isn’t until FNaF 1 when the dire situation starts to hit, and he becomes more aggressive and fed up.” – TheSnazzySharky from Reddit.
“Personally, I think it’s just because the kid possessing him is the most confused. He, like the others, doesn’t know he’s dead yet and desperately wants both alone time and an explanation for why he’s stuck in Freddy’s, why he can’t go see his family. He can’t get either, which frustrates him.” – Starship187 from Reddit.
While these speculations make some sense as to why Bonnie always seems aggressive in both games and the movie, here are a few other pun-intended theories from fans:
