I think when Laurie shows up at the restaurant and starts drinking the wine on the table was a pretty good indication that she was (or had been previously) an alcoholic. Plus she was drinking those mini bottles when parked outside Smith's Grove.

Yeah, seriously dick move imo. That's not her booze! For me, Laurie in H'18 was wanting everything to be about her. Yeah thanks for ruining Allison's party ahole. I think the PTSD should have been flipped. In H20 she is basically just going through a typical mid life crises. She's a headmistress, so I'm assuming she went to college and got her masters. She holds down a job, drinks less than my mom and that's after Michael killed everyone in a hospital to get to her. Laurie is a bystander pretty much in H1 and yet she feels the need 40 years later to have a doomsday bunker and go loony toons every fifteen seconds. I'm rambling. Nevermind.

On one side, it would've been neat that they referenced Halloween 4, but on the other side, keeping the curse and cult bullshit from Halloween 6 would've just made Michael not as intimidating as he is when he kills randomly. Getting rid of the Thorn trilogy for me was ultimately a good choice since, being honest, only one film out of the trilogy was good.

The whole of H20 is a reference to 4,5,6: Laurie surviving her death in 4, Loomis already surviving the fire in 2 revealed in 4 (if H20 actually started an alternate timeline, there would be no need to mention Loomis died AFTER he already died in 2), Laurie drinking and trying to forget Jamie's death (doesn't need to be said - and that was her purpose in the H20 scripts). Everything lines up timeline wise, logic-wise, plausibility-wise. Halloween H20 is the seventh film in the series. It's not a remake.

I think the thing is regarding characterisation between timelines is that for the most part save for fairly minor differences the characters that appear in several timelines all feel like the same character. Not different versions entirely as with Rob zombies films. That will probably change with Tommy in Halloween kills but so far so good. I think keeping characters generally consistent is important too. Development changes them not they have different characters entirely.

I like the ending with some soft music while Michael strips down and changes clothes with the cop/paramedic and checks him out before putting his stinky clothes on him. Play 'Dream Weaver' here. Checks his charred face to make sure he looks like a Serpico type to blend in. Then he goes to the art room quick and grabs some super glue to make sure the other sorry ass can't take off the mask. He then leaves a note saying sorry he stripped him down and didn't give him any love. Continue script. Resurrection is a go. You should do a video like this explaining the big switch scene in H20.

H20 Keri/Laurie feels like she has more dimension to her. Dealing with her trauma, but trying to raise a son somewhat normally, while running a school and juggling a relationship. I know 2018 Laurie is older and therefore in a different phase of her life, but she feels too much like Sarah Connor. Sarah is awesome, but Laurie doesn't need to be the slasher equivalent of her to be awesome as well. With Terminator Dark Fate coming out and Sarah Connor returning, we're gonna see just how similar they are. Which is why I prefer H20 Laurie and the difference between her and Judgement Day Sarah. Tough but a little "posh". Paranoid but not hermit in the woods living in a booby trapped house level of paranoia. Brave and ready to fight but not obsessed with training and weapons. Also, decapitated by Jamie Lee Curtis is the best ending. I'd prefer Michael didn't come back from it, but either way that's the cooler ending.

I think it'd been cool to have a strobe tunnel scene. BUT, it's Laurie in the van with Micheal on the hood she hits the side and tips over. Swat comes into the tunnel and fires upon Michael. He falls behind the van. A Swat member checks him and Michael crushes his throat. Michael uses his body as a shield as he takes out one after another while they fire. The van is on fire with Laurie in it. It explodes. Michael watches it burn. Two more men with guns come in and try to shoot him one shot after another Michael stabs one through his gut. The last guy takes a knife trying to stab Michael, but Michael breaks his neck. Michael looks at the van burn and then Laurie comes from out of the shadows behind him. Michael turns, but Laurie thrusts the ax into his head. He bleeds down the mask blinding him. He stumbles and falls, the ax dislodging and Laurie picks it up. She stands over him ready to ax him again until he lays up. She says, "F-CK!". She retreats out of the tunnel in a dramatic fashion with Micheal in toe. She gets into a swat SUV, he grabs onto it as she drives into the woods. Michael moves up to the driver window on the roof grabbing at her ripping her shirt. He grabs her face while she viers off the hill and the SUV plummets down and he is caught pinned. Laurie's leg is badly hurt, but she picks up the ax walks over to him and decapitates him. THE END!

In regards of Laurie being a mashup from the 1998 version and the 2018 version I could *MAYBE* see it happening, but honestly out of the two versions of Laurie she wasn't necessarily my favorite because before I had realized different timelines were a thing and even though it was NEVER acknowledged I took her version for the character that faked her death and abandoned her first child to be at the mercy of her uncle which is a shit dick move, even for this alternate draft it is a dick move. Now on that topic is that I do believe the Laurie we got In Resurection was the blue print of what we got in 2018. She set up and made traps for Michael to fall for and she could have likely *MAYBE* killed him if it wasn't for her surrounding and her moment of doubt which ended up costing her.

I like both versions of the character. 2018 has a more believable Laurie, while still being a badass. And I like H20 for a more balanced Laurie, even if it isn't as realistic. If I had to choose, I lean slightly more towards H20 Laurie. But that being said, the 2018 version was still very well written and acted.
