You said it's new for Micheal to kilp a kid? Did you not see him snap a kids neck in the 2018 one?

[@gregoryo4417]

Hello there, Mythology guy! I have been a huge fan of all your content for the past couple of years, and I have always enjoyed watching your videos (unlike watching Halloween ends). Regarding mythology based Halloween films, I have something that is relatively close and quite interesting to cover. It is a superhero movie named "El Muerto" from 2007, and it is based on El Muerto from the comic series "El Muerto: the Aztec Zombie", not based on the Marvel character Sony is/was trying to make a movie on. In case you are wondering, Aztec gods play an important role in the story and the film, so it is important to notice the differences from the comic book series, the film, and actual Aztec mythology. If I could ever ask anything from you during my time on Earth, please considering checking out this movie and doing a review, I promise you won't regret it. :) P.S. Fun fact and small comment to consider for the future, I really love the way you review the God of War games, but apparently Kratos is not based on Cratus from Greek mythology. The developers apparently named the character after the Greek word for strength and power, and didn't discover the existence of Cratus until someone told them afterwards. Who would have guessed? Anyways, thank you so much for reading this comment if you did, please consider making a review on El Muerto, and I wish you the best of luck in the future. :)

Mythology Guy is like “I cry because others are stupid and it makes me sad”

[@brookepearson]

I've never seen any of the Halloween films (unless watching this video counts) but I think having his motive be as simple as "he just enjoys killing people" would've been infinitely better than "he likes the view outside of his window"

[@samuelbarber6177]

I think this completely misses the point about Michael Myers, he doesn’t have a motivation. The whole point behind the guy, his generic mask with the blank expression, his lack of dialogue, the fact that we never see his face (outside of one brief scene at the end of John Carpenter’s Halloween), is that he’s a mystery. Everything about him is mystery. This is what Rob Zombie’s films never understood. He’s essentially an animal in human form. He’s more great white shark than Ted Bundy.

[@1gient]

@@samuelbarber6177 More like he's a vector for the slasher villain trope as a whole. A blank canvas that has whatever motivation you give him. He's only as much a mystery as you want him to be just as he is as supernatural as you want to believe him to be.

[@burritobandit64]

I agree with the idea of him liking to kill people but no the people who made the movie basically just threw it out the window

[@Frashaw27]

The Halloween Franchise is like people trying to take a good recipe from a cook book or a famous chef, but they to add their own twist on it. Sometimes the results can pretty good, but most of the time it just doesn't taste quite right.

@@thegearsparten The first Jurasic World had some merit of "what would it look like if thte Park got up and running" Acting like limited numbers of dinos running loose in the world would be a real threat for long? That's a load of baloney. They wouldn't be able to get far, a lot of climates would be poor for them, and modern firepower would make mincemeat of them. Navy subs would be arguing over who gets to kill giant sea dinos with a spread of torpedoes and mount the remaining bones at base.

@@bthsr7113 ya which Is why I consider it the second best

[@elizabethweigle6146]

Honestly, the only ‘gripe’ I have with the firefighter scene is that when we see Michael getting hit with the hose, he didn’t stumble. On one hand he’s getting hit with thousands of psi all over his torso, which would cause even the strongest person to fall on their ass. But on the other hand, he’s practically unkillable so it’s not too out of the question that he’s just this mythic being where physics don’t apply to him. But still one of my fav scenes of the movie and saddest deaths besides the escaped inmate.

[@dylantennant6594]

I’m gonna be honest- I really would have liked an anthology Halloween series. I would’ve been fine with two movies with Michael and then the rest just - other stories

[@samuelbarber6177]

Oh for definite. We could have legit interesting stories, but no, we have to have basically the same film done a dozen times and none of them have been as good as the original. This is why I am going to die on the hill that Season of the Witch is the second best of the franchise.

It’s like two beautiful pictures being drawn by talented artists and then handed to a rampaging angry toddler.

[@ieatbabies5480]

I definitely agree with you that the second movie should be considered canon, including the second movie could make Laurie's trauma and ptsd(not that she wouldn't have it either way) of Michael alot stronger in the 2018 movie, it also would've made more sense for her to be preparing for Michael to return again as Michael came to the hospital to kill her, I think it would've improved her reasoning to prepare that much

[@dragoness7181]

I feel like the plot to Halloween Kills (with some tweaks to the script) would have made a better conclusion to the new trilogy. The first one mainly focused on Lori and her family. In the sequel they could have had the cast expand to the other legacy characters, the other people directly impacted by Micheals murders in the very first movie. One of the legacy characters was even a nurse, so she could be working at the hospital when Lori was brought in and warn the others that Lori was injured by Micheal again. Everyone goes to make sure Lori is alright, then they all hear Michael survived the fire. The newly formed legacy crew can then go on a hunt for Michael. Lori’s wound can even be an important plot point. Have Lori fix herself up quickly before she heads out with the crew, only to have her injury get progressively worse throughout the movie, until it completely reopens at the climax. The legacy characters will then have to forfeit the hunt in order to save Lori, letting Michael escape. Then in the third and final movie, they rally the whole town to take down Michael. Everyone gangs up on him in the end, but have Lori finish it. Maybe even take off his mask to see his face for the first time before Lori delivers the killing blow. And his motivation could still be to go after Lori, even without the familial connection. He could just want to finish what he started all those years ago. (Sorry this was a long one 😅, had a lot of thoughts)

Sounds amazing! 👏🏻 And I am not a horror movie fan!

[@alexhollon7526]

"GiViNg MiChEaL a MoTiVaTiOn lIkE LaUrEy BeInG hIs SiStEr MaKeS hIm LeSs ScArY!!" Well for this whole story to work, that motivation would make a lot more sense. Michael is still a rampaging killer regardless, just with a goal in mind.

[@carolusrex5213]

Yes! I never got that point, he is still a mindless killer but he wants to finish his original killing spree by ending his sister and he would destroy everyone in his attempt to do so

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

[@alexsash9808]

I think "wants to stare out a window" makes him a lot less scary

[@Jays6926]

@@carolusrex5213plus we find out he didn’t care about Laurie. He never was trying to finish her off. Everyone including her implanted her into the story. Love how it’s mentioned she spent all her life reclusive for no reason.

[@Lunacorva]

It makes him less scary because it makes the killings personal and thus humanises him. It doesn't work for him anymore than giving a Lovecraftian Horror a revenge plot works for it. The horror of Michael is that you DON'T matter to him. This isn't personal. He will commit horrible, violent murder and you will remember it for the rest of your life. For him... it was tuesday.

[@loneronin6813]

Honestly I think it makes sense to cover a Halloween movie on this channel. The way I see it is that Michael Meyers is practically a living legend in every since of the word. His name and deeds have marked the town of Haddonfield in a manner similar to an urban legend or a town folktale. Michael is not only a seemingly unstoppable serial killer, he is like a scar on the town itself that no matter what will always leave that deep, permanent mark on an otherwise quaint little town that until his crimes, "Never had anything bad happen in it." He is the Shape, the Boogeyman, the little boy in the body of a man with the eyes of the devil, he is Michael Meyers.
