Circus baby's green eyes
A lot of us have been debating the lore changes in the first movie, especially with Vanessa being Afton’s daughter. But if you look closely at the workshop flashback, and the scene with Vanessa: Circus Baby already has green eyes. In the games, that only happens after she takes Elizabeth.
This suggests the "real" Elizabeth was already gone before the movie’s timeline even started. To protect his reputation and avoid a massive scandal at Afton Robotics, William couldn't have a missing child on his record. We think he brought in Vanessa as a replacement to keep up appearances, gaslighting her into believing she was his biological daughter all along.
This "Replacement" theory fixes the timeline backlash without needing a reboot. it keeps the first movie canon while leaving the door wide open for a massive Elizabeth/Baby reveal in the sequels. It’s a way for the movies to stay original but still respect the game’s tragic roots. What do you guys think? Does the green eye detail confirm this?
(if you saw this before no you didnt it was glitching for me)
