    First! A lot of people are still misunderstanding this: I STILL make live-action videos, they just take longer to make and I put more care into those videos. These cartoon reviews are meant to be a new way to cover stuff quickly and fill the gap between my major, live-action vids. Please be patient while I make my big videos, the wait will be worth it.

    Thing is, is that it wouldnt be a good idea NOT to use the Childs Play name.
    Its a doll that essentially comes to life, kills people, it has comedy, it has a kid that knows that the doll is responsible for the killings but no one believes him, and the doll talks. Althuogh it has nearly no ressemblance to the original, it still has the same skeleton.
    If they didnt make it a Childs Play movie, it would be attacked for being a Childs Play rip-off.
    Maybe they couldve set it in a different world and called the movie "Buddi" but still. Theyd have to basically confrim it as a Childs Play movie, or in a Childs Play universe.

  • @TheDawnofVanlife
    @TheDawnofVanlife 5 лет назад +4

    SOOO MUCH YES! My biggest issue is not with the overall concept, but the fact that there's this random 'buddi' design in the middle of apple-LIKE products produced by this tech company. The fact is OG Chucky was a doll (a thing that shouldn't walk around and say anymore then catch phrases) that comes to life and is doing things a doll shouldn't be able to do. They remade a movie about an evil doll and threw out the base concept of it being a doll. Making a movie that's an illogical merger between Child's Play and a black mirror episode. It made have some good points, but at the end of the day "Child's Play" was only slapped on it to guarantee ticket sales.

    People keep complaining about the "evil switch" concept. First off, it wasnt an evil switch, the worker turned off protocols that let the buddi doll learn too much to prevent it being a hazard. This is a reallistic concept since todays companies working on ai have ethics boards in order to make sure the ai cannot become sentient. Chucky is an ai not a robot or smart device like alexa, therefore it would need limits on its learning especially since its family friendly. The last thing anyone would want is someone training an ai to kill. Which is what happened when all limiters were turned off.

      @@MalitiaHDOfficialThere's a reason Clark Kent is always a guy from a small town in Kansas and Bruce Wayne is always a millionaire who lost his parents tragically. You can update all you want, but the base concept is what keeps the identity. You can tweak a lot, but there's a point where you throw the baby out with the bathwater. OG Chucky is a human trapped in a doll and all the previous Child's play movies are about a human named Charles Lee Ray who's Nickname was Chucky. It's where the creepy humor and personality comes from, who he was as a man. New Chucky is a badly designed West World Robot with a child-like identity. If they hadn't been super attached to a Chucky rebrand, perhaps the design of killer Child-like robot could have looked more Kaslan and less forced 80s look on a modern product.

      Right, it also just obliterates any dismissal of Chucky's behavior as impossible and preposterous. Kaslan would HAVE to know what happens when the Buddi dolls safety parameters are switched of. The incident in the final scene at the Grand release would have been a PR nightmare and the criminal investigation would have revealed everything about Kaslan. What made the Good Guy company somewhat immune was the supernatural voodoo of Dambala that caused an impossible preposterous event to occur to create Chucky and guarantee his immortality.

Its a wonderful take on the "alive doll" which gives us a taste of what chucky would have been if the original 80's films didnt exist! It fits the time era too, back in the 80's dolls were incredibly popular and now the nee it thing is technology, it only makes sense to me and i loved the film, i do recommend it.

I was worried it was going to ruin the sanctity of the original by calling itself a remake. I saw a special showing the day before it came out and it wasn’t that bad honestly!

    Speaking of Orion, I wonder if Doctor Wolfula plans on reviewing The Belko Experiment eventually. It's a movie I've heard described as also having a little bit of an identity crisis because James Gunn originally wrote the movie as a dark comedy in the late 00s, but somewhere along the lines the script was picked up by others who opted to turn it into a Battle Royale inspired film, leading to a movie where it's not 100% clear if it's supposed to be taken seriously or seen as the dark comedy Gunn originally intended (fact one of the characters is played by the same guy who played Dr. Cox in Scrubs doesn't help).

    It's an interesting concept in my opinion, sure the original is iconic and most people love the original but taking Chucky in a different direction has potential, I like to see this version of Chucky as more of an Alternate universe, a Chucky-verse if you will, in one universe Chucky is a doll magically possessed by a serial killer, in another universe Charles Lee Ray Doesn't exist however not as a human, in this universe Chucky is an advanced Animatronic Doll that was tampered with and just happens to have glitched out the name Chucky which makes sense within context of an alternate universe, the idea we all exist in every universe in the multiverse however we exist in different ways hence a different Chucky would make sense multiverse wise, I see it as an expansion of the franchise in multiple directions, and the idea of re-imaginings has ALOT of potential in my opinion, well that's how I see it anyways, but I do see where your coming from, it could have been handled somewhat differently, also I enjoy your Channel and thus is the first video I've seen and I already like ya, subscribed 🙂👍

    Literally that's the right way to describe this movie: Identity problem.
    The film is just weird in how tries to handle itself with the ideas it tries to bring to the concept, it doesn't know what it wants because you can do literally anything with the story. If they wanted a franchise of this, they should think better what to do.

    @leannkennett905 4 года назад +2

    Don Mancinies original idea is the AI gone rogue concept as used in the remake. The studio didn’t like it and made him add the voodoo concept and Charles Lee Ray so honestly it feels like a slap in the face to Don Mancini because they jus ripped off his original idea that wasn’t good enough for them in the first place. (But I could see Brad and Don working this into their material and seriously making fun of it so bad)

    If they wanted to make a reboot and make changes they could have included Charles Lee Ray by having him hack the doll. They could have done changes like let that cop guy be Andy's dad and Charles would manipulate Andy and use him to get more information on the dad because he keeps because they have history of the cop trying to arrest him. They could have had Andy be 6 years old like in an old movie so it would be easy for Charles to manipulate him.

    Well, I know it's a little late to comment on this video, but I'm gonna anyway. Overall, while I don't think this movie is as good as the original, I'm also not comparing it to the original. It does it's own thing, makes Chucky sympathetic and strangely more realistic, at least from a personality stand point, and it makes me eager to see what any future sequels will be like. While his appearance looked really odd to me at first, it kind of grew on me as the film went along. Not perfect, but better than most remakes. Killer ai/death drone.

    If you like to see a killer doll that involves technology, then great this movie is for you. I respect that.
    Though, I have mixed feelings about this movie. It isn't considered part of the franchise, it does fulfill being a REMAKE of the original, but i'll always loved the 1988 more than this. While the 2019 was okay, it will never take me away from the famous original franchise. I like the modern take on this 2019 movie and including technology, but it was just cringy. One thing i found out, that was just disrespectful was that Don Mancini was going to make something to continue from Cult of Chucky but his and the original script was rejected. He wanted to answer the fans and share his creativity in continuation of the original franchise which im so happy he got to do in the new Chucky TV series!!!

    this wasn't a bad movie what-so-ever. sure, it has its flaws, but i think it was a good retelling of the original story! it's updated to fit with the newer generation, and it definitely worked. i took my 8 y/o cousins to watch it and they absolutely LOVED it! we're older now, and of course a walking, talking doll isn't going to scare us. why do you think as more of the original Child's Play movies came out, they became more of a comedy, rather than a horror film? if they were to slap a different name on it, reviewers like you would criticize a film like this for being "too much like Child's Play!" it had its flaws, but even the original movie had flaws. i think we need to be more accepting of more modernized remakes. one reason the "IT" remake was so well received was because the time-frame was moved up for younger generations to relate to it more, but even with "IT" i don't think any of us can genuinely say Pennywise actually scared us, unlike the original. that's because we've growed up and thinks like dolls and clowns don't scare us anymore. take the new Halloween movies for instance, they had to change the whole "Michael Myers is supernatural and immortal" concept because that just isn't scary these days. it's more realistic to our generation for a psychotic murderer to just snap and kill anyone in their path. i think we should open our arms and be more accepting of these new ideas and remakes of movies we all grew up with because not only are they aimed for us (the original audience for the original movies) but they're modernized and catered towards the upcoming generations as well. that doesn't make a movie bad!

  • @terrancedavis2740

    The origin needed to be darker. They needed to have the disgruntled emloyee treated worse, make him crazier. Like he was a lead designer who had ideas for new dolls whos ideas were shot down, was humiliated, demoted at his job to line worker, his wife leaves him because he makes less money and woln't let go of his grudge against the company for ruining his life and not recognizing his genius. He sneaks a random doll home and determines to make him a killing machine. " They destroyed my life. Ill destroy their company. ILL SHOW THEM. ILL SHOW THEM ALL!". Theres a montage of him gathering military grade parts from shady individuals even killing one of them when asked what its for. He replies to his victims dead body "My perfect toy". A scene of him working on circuitry while a serial killer documentary just happens to be playing in the backround. He looks up at the show and cracks a smile. He makes its body way tougher to destroy, gives the toy strenght no childs toy should ever have, programs the dolls AI to cause as much chaos and terror as possible using kaslan products or any other means available while no one pays attention, then goes normal or dummy mode when its thermal senses or whatever tells that humans are approaching or may notice. Along with a few other hidden nasty features. Fast forward 6 months. Hes at work ragged, thin, with a grizzled beard and crazy sinister look in his eye. He slides his creation into a box on the packaging line. Then walks into a stairway. Climbing up he says to himself "My life and soon this company may be gone, but my genius will live in infamy." He then jumps off the roof with a shrill devilish laughter following him to his death. A lightning bolt and thunder in the backround go off signalling that this isnt the end. But just the begining of the madness to come. But the dolls first owner happens to be 13 year old Andy, who after having a string of murders happen in his building and neighborhood, notices a few "off" diffrences between his doll and other dolls hes seen. Why does my doll have extra features? Why does it weigh a little more than other dolls? Why does its built in camera keep having these spans of time where its memory data is corupted? Andy with the help of his friends( a doll this powerful would justify andy needing help.) take on a menace that just doesnt want to play nice. CHILDS PLAY...coming this Halloween. I wanna see THIS movie. I wanna be scared of chucky. Not feel sorry for him and be slightly confused by his actions.

    The whole idea for any doll is that it should be 'CUTE' . Attractive to a child. If it looks scary or creepy from the get go, gone goes the 'trust' aspect. OH how I WISH Hollywood would learn the old saying, *"LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE"* .
