@@ruthie8785 The Heisei era of Godzilla films began with a reboot in 1985 that ignored all previous Godzilla entries aside from the original '54 film. That continuity lasted until 1994. The subsequent Millennium era of films (1999-2004) went on to ignore everything - including all of those Heisei era films - except the original too, only they went even further and had every subsequent Millennium era release ignore each other. Meaning it was basically a chain of soft reboots one after the next, culminating in Final Wars in 2004. Shin Godzilla was the first Toho film to do a clean break and offer a total continuity reboot. Hope this helps.

These new movies wanna have their cake and eat it too. They tell us to forget about all the sequels as they no longer exist in this timeline..... yet the new movies are filled with callbacks to the sequels and constantly reminding you of them. They erase the sibling connection between Laurie and Michael.... yet the new movies are all about Laurie and Michael. They erase all the mayhem Michael has caused in Haddonfield over the course of 7 movies (5 or 3 movies in either original timeline).... yet they want Michael to have the aura and legacy of someone who's returned to Haddonfield over and over and killed dozens of people, even though he's barely killed a handful of people in this new timeline. It wants to utilize/incorporate the legend /history of Michael that the sequels created, yet at at the same time wipe them out of existence. It's all a massive contradiction.

Mike accidentally describing Halloween 2 is hilarious

[@cruzcamel]

This would probably never happen, but it’d be interesting to see a Halloween movie where Michael’s barely ever seen in it. It’d have everything else. Bodies are found. Rabble rousers are screaming he’s still out there as mobs get raised. The first responders practically drown with the amount of calls and reports they get about bodies found or people in trouble. But he’s rarely ever spotted, which really plays up the fear and suspense that made the first Halloween movie so tense. I guess I just unintentionally described every serial killer/police procedural out there, but still. I think that’d be a fun different take on it. Instead of turning Michael into a self-parody comic book supervillain.

[@jimkocherful]

The original movie didn't show much of him (at least as an adult) right away at all. For his early appearances he is shown from far away, or in profile in a vehicle, or behind flapping sheets, or behind a fogged car window You don't see him close up or clearly until almost the very end. That makes him much scarier, a true Boogeyman. In the new movie he fills the frame and is in sharp focus when exiting the house at the beginning, and is witnessed by multiple people while going on a huge murderous rampage. There is no mystery to that, no suspense. They should have shown a wide shot of the burning house and firefighters, and what you aren't sure might be Michael's figure skulking away from the house. Maybe they catch a blurry image on a surveillance camera, but don't notice it until later. Don't let the town know that he has survived right away. Let some time pass before people realize that the homicidal maniac didn't really die and is after them, and then they start finding bodies. This movie had no buildup whatsoever.

[@chadhiggins7171]

Now that's a great idea! I'd like to see that too. Much more than this shit

[@gyroscope915]

I think it be great if bodies show up and the town panics and goes full mob justice and chaos breaks out in the town the way you mentioned. And then it was never Myers. But just a random killing. Because people get stabbed and die all the time. But all those people in the bar are so obsessed with something that happened four decades ago that they just assume it Myers coming back and the panic drives the town crazy when it was never even him. It was just like a drug deal or a mugging gone wrong and someone got stabbed or something. Just like playing on the idea of how what you build up in your head is way worse then the reality.
