Laurie did a good job of cleaning up the bloody mess the next morning when they showed the camera in each room, it didn’t even look like their was anything that went on
The thing with Michael is that he must have a crazy blood clotting factor such that he never bleeds out. He doesn't have a wolverine healing factor like Thorn Michael does. But he never seems to leave a constant blood trail after being wounded. So he's not constantly losing blood which is why most people die rather than the tissue damage itself. Laurie had to make sure to slice open three major blood vessels; the carotid (throat), radial (wrist), and subclavian (armpit) arteries so he bled out quickly.
This should have been the perfect chance for a dark psychological no humour style trilogy ala Seven or Zodiac or something similar.A real delve into Myers psyche but na we got Evil dies tonight and other cringe shit 😂🙈
I think the mask made it easier for him to kill, but it didn't give him super strength. The simple truth is, DGG. most probably along with JLC's input, made the personal decision to end him and make Laurie victorious. He thought by making Michael Myers take a backseat, presenting him as weak, and putting the emphasis on the Corey story, viewers will lose their fascination with the character and easily let him go in the end. It was a total letdown for longtime devoted fans.
I would've been fine with the ending we got in 2018. I was disappointed last year and even more so this year. Hell if they'd just leave us with the ending we got last year without the part where he gets to and slaughters the angry mob I'd be fine with that too.
Mike Myers originally was supernatural, You don't have your head chopped off you don't have your body electrocuted, you don't get set on fire, short numerous, numerous stab wounds , falling down a mineshaft, Then you say that's just a normal person, If that's normal person the army would love to sign people like that
Ya sorry DGG you built him into supernatural monster than copped out without explaining some things that would have added to the mystique. They have hinted at the mask having power since the opening scene of 2018! And how can we forget Micheal kicking in a cop car steel cage divider?! No normal man could ever do that.. in two kicks no less..... ya and if it's the mask that's his power it needed to be touched on and elaborated at least... with a name like ends I was hoping for either multiple endings or tying up loose ends.....shame. it doesn't make sense that Laurie would be so lax.. myers was 10x the psychopath she knew in 78 and 2018 in kills. She should have been even more terrified of him being on the loose. I mean she prayed he would get out so she could kill him why wouldn't she try and hunt him down. Ughhhh DGG /JLC why didn't you care more? Just want to be done with myers....why? Well props to the makeup department you guys gave a shit about micheal still being terrifying and menacing looking. His look in every movie in this trilogy has been top notch. Hence GIVE HIM MORE SCREEN TIME. Jesus all that work and it's over in the blink of an eye. Shame shame shame. Micheal myers is as important to the franchise as he is to the actual holiday! Basically defined what we think of as creepy , spooky , and ethereal. With looks and theme songs. It's Sad that JC didn't put his heart into it after the success of the first. He really had something special , but just wanted to be done with it .
@@nefariousnimbus sorry but we already saw in the original film Michael wearing a clowns mask as kid & which is identical what's being made in Halloween III: Season of the Witch
The mask doesn't make Michael any different he is the same with are without it. Too me Michael was sick and probably dying from his injuries he suffered in the last movie. I know he has supernatural ish abilities but technically he is still human
@@dominicstclairstudios6324but the novel says differently. The ones based on these movies. He "infected" Cory with "pure evil" via telekinesis or some dumb shit. I wanted him to be motivated by the window and window alone. They hinted at that but then abandoned it. Stinky doo doo movie.
My theory: The reason that Michael Myers, AKA: The Shape is extremely weak in Halloween Ends, it was because from all of the injuries and damage he sustained in the last two movies, (Halloween 2028 & Halloween Kills) and also later on the town of Haddonfield began to lose fear of him from his legend as the boogeyman.
@@logangreene7269 YES I remember someone saying this, not sure exactly who did but I think that is a very plausible theory. I can see the mask theory kinda but I believe it goes along with him not killing anybody. He didn’t have the mask or kill anyone during those 40 some years so how would him not having the mask make him that week if he didn’t have it all those years lol
Okay, but Michael had the mask on the ENTIRE TIME he was down in the sewers (4 years). Yet he was still so weak that he was able to get his ass beat by Corey, AND needed assistance in killing the cop. How does that fit in with your mask theory?
I agree but you guys always have to remember just because he has the mask on doesn’t mean he’s invincible I mean think about it he was stuck in the Asylum for 40 years and what did he have constantly of when he wasn’t killing people food water and rest
@@mechajason Obviously Michael had food, water, and rest down in the sewers cuz he was there for 4 YEARS and wasn’t a toothpick. It’s already shown to us that he needs to eat to survive (the dead eaten dogs). I like the mask theory A LOT, it just doesn’t add up at all pretty much anywhere lol. It could’ve been such a cool idea too, and would’ve made the ending more impactful.
@@mechajason I do agree that they made the mask the catalyst, the cornerstone, of Michael’s actions in these new ones. Him sensing it behind him without seeing it in 2018 shows that
Well Michael also didn’t have the mask when he was incarcerated for almost 40 years too. So how was he still powerful when he got hurt by the journalists and still killed them in Halloween 2018?
What was the deal with Corey being tormented by 5 high school band members? Not a couple of guys from the wrestling team or football team, but band members. Is the Chess Club going to be a street gang in the next movie?
He also was without his mask for 40 years, yet the night he got it back he was instantly superhuman. If bring away from it for a long time weakened him then hiw did he get that strong in one night with it back? And if it charged him in a night after being without it for 40 years, then sure being without it fr less than a ray didn't weaken him that much. Plus he had it on for most of the movie and could barely walk even before losing it
Also there’s evidence to support this. In 78 he freaks out when the mask is removed. In 2018 he’s reignited when put in close proximity to it and kills to get to it. In Kills he freaks out and stops attacking Lindsey when it’s almost removed and he also chases after Karen for taking it. Also the original ending somewhat goes with it too in that Michael dies and because Laurie keeps the mask around, she gains a darkness and in the original ending they cut around her home like in 78’s ending while she breathes. The power is def the mask. I really think a sequel to the trilogy should happen with incorporating Halloween 3 in a reboot way. Would be so fascinating and a great way to revitalise the essence of Michael while telling that H3 story.
Theory Time: Michael Myers is patient zero from The Silver Shamrock ☘️ from the little clown costume to the William Shatner mask and whenever someone wears something from The Silver Shamrock ☘️ Bad things happens
No theory makes sense. The "not enough kills" doesn't make sense for reasons you explained(going 40 years without killing and still being powerful). The mask doesn't make sense because he had the mask for all 4 years he was inactive and yet Allyson's ex-boyfriend/the cop and Corey were both capable of overpowering him. Michael needed Corey's help to take down the cop and Corey overpowered him and took the mask from him. It's just all around terrible writing that makes no sense. Not even "the inuries he suffered in Kills is why he's so weak" makes sense, seeing as right after suffering all those wounds and injuries he gets up and kills the entire mob, then sneaks back in to the house and kills Karen. David Gordon Green should be ashamed of himself for the trash he's produced for us with this trilogy(2018 was ok, but the overwhelming stench of Kills and Ends eliminates any good will he created with that), and John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis should be ashamed of themselves for signing off on it.
People are looking at the "The more he kills, the more he transcends" quote too literal. The full quote is "The more he kills, the more he transcends into something impossible to defeat. Fear. The people are afraid. That is the curse of Michael." It's not meant that he literally gets power. It's the fact that he scares people makes him feel powerful. The less people are scared, the more useless he feels and therefore goes dormant and such in this film.
Cool explaining but I don’t think it was easier for him to die. Laurie cut his throat, his arm, and stabbed his hand. After all of that Michael almost killed Laurie
@@TACKMACK2007 well he did not have the mask for 40 years until the reporter's brought it to him even so he still killed those reporter's and mechanic worker's without the mask
I believe a number of things contributed to his death. without the mask for too long and not enough kills to give him his strength. The both combined was the reason and the Evil within felt Michaels weekness and wanted to find a new host
See here's the thing, if the movie wasn't marketed as a MICHAEL MYERS film no one would bat an eye at what happened or how it turned out. I was born in 95 and every single Halloween movie has been marketed as Michael Myers movies. Season of the Witch has been irrelevant since it came out and no one brings it up except for reviewers or cult fans. The main problem with the current trilogy is retconning details people have literally GROWN with. Like Michael suddenly not caring about Laurie, Michael suddenly being human, Michael suddenly being killable, Michael suddenly not being related to Laurie. What attracted me to Michael's story when I was a kid was him being unkillable and mysterious. Making him a regular guy who gets affected by age, disease, wounds, regular people problems and the like drains everything intimidating about him. Michael was clearly supernatural in Halloween Kills. 100% and in Ends we see him rejuvenate when he kills someone. With all those details he shouldn't be easy to kill. It was just done to be done in my opinion. It wasn't story driven it was glory driven.
He wasn't dead, he went dormant like he does after being seriously wounded. It was in that dormant state that Laurie dumped him into the metal muncher, that's what killed him.
The whole reason why he was so weak was bc of all his injuries he had taken with no medical attention. He got beat down by a mob & stabbed with a Pitchfork his fingers were blown off so that basically told us that he's not supernatural. Think about it he's not showering & cleaning his wounds putting Neosporin on & changing his bandages.
He was weak without killing in ends because if he goes a while without killing his strength returns too a base level which is still strong but because he’s gone through so much damage that base level reduced significantly so in 2018 he was at say 50% at the start with no kills then in kills after killing he’s at 100% but after not killing he would be at 50% again but due to being injured and not killing he was reduced too 10%
@@TACKMACK2007 but it has no proof after 40 years of not wearing it he managed to take a crowbar to the face single handedly take on a guy 20 years younger and manhandle him lift up a woman with ease beat up lots of people snap jaws beat up mechanics even before he got his mask and if that was the case he wore the mask for 4 years why did he get stronger when killing in those 4 years not while wearing the mask?
@@mrmagno5955 possibly, but then your saying that him being shot, stabbed and beaten up is nothing, but infection is what’s bringing him down..? Yeah, I don’t think so
@@mrmagno5955 Oh and, I never said I think the mask makes him stronger. I just said it’s the thing that didn’t let him die. Him killing is just him killing! The mask isn’t making him do that because he killed for the first time at the age of 6. Which was years before he retrieved the mask!
@@TACKMACK2007 you said the mask gives him his power which it doesn’t because 40 years after not wearing it he has the power to lift a woman fully with ease beat several guys to death in a fashion that’s inhuman and take a crowbar to the face and shrug it off like it’s nothing before wearing his mask that shows the mask doesn’t give him power it’s Michael himself who has power and he did that at age 61
The filmmakers state multiple times that he's just a human in this trilogy. He's not supernatural. He was probably weak because he's old and lived in the sewer where he didn't receive care like he did when he was locked up. They say the pandemic was supposed to play a role so it's likely he was meant to have caught COVID leaving him weaker.
@@marcovens9440 i thought that was gonna be why he was gone for so long since they made COVID such a big thing in the interview. I just wanna know how he caught it since it seems he wears his mask all the time.
I don’t think him not killing is what made him so weak enough to get killed, because you remember when the bum told Corey people always go in the sewer and never come back out implying that Michael has killed some people within the 4 years. He spent 40 years in Smithgrove without slaughtering anyone and still came out on a rampage so I don’t think that’s a reason. There is no way in hell Laurie could’ve beat him realistically. DGG had no idea what do with this final movie so he gave us all these stupid plot distractions to keep the focus off Michael and made him purposely weak when we did see him so it would be easier and more understandable to accept him dying. I get Ends is supposed to be the finale, but its still a failure. Good vid btw
@@garysmith8915 He endured a lot more than that.Age and untreated wounds theory is illogical.They have shown him growing in power when he kills with Corey.Earlier in the movie homeless guy said he drags people in to sewers and kills them,but still he was weak,then his sidekick helps him kill,he was slowly getting better.Just literal bullsh*t of a movie.
Simply put, age can't lie, no matter how much effort you put into it, it's still different from when you were young, Mychael is also a human, there must be a time when you die, unlike Jason, who is immortal.
@@joextreme I do know that Jason became a Supernatural Entity in Friday the 13th Part 6, when he was Resurrected by lightning. Immortal means that one can live Forever. Never dying or decaying. Jason was a Decaying Corpses, who got killed in every movie from Part 6, until someone or something brung him back to life. Immortal Beings can still be killed. For Example, I would say that a onscreen character like Superman is Immortal. Because No Conventional weapons on earth can kill Superman. However Superman can still be killed by Extraordinary Means. Jason is Unkillable for the most part, but Jason isn't Immortal because Jason can still get killed with Regular Weapons. Jason is still Earthbound. I hope that's explains, what Immortal means.
I think Michael was weaker because his house was ripped down. You think about it he killed his sister inside the house. He always hid inside his house at the end of every movie. So logic would suggest that without the Myers house Michaels power is being drained and he becomes weaker.
But Michael was after Laurie! Remember in 78 she dropped off keys at Myers house, then he became stalking her, following Tommy because he was the kid Laurie babysat, would stand outside her window, and stand outside her school window. Frank Hawkins was actually wrong and Laurie was right!
I kinda felt like Lourie moving on with her life and stop being afraid of Michael stopped feeding him his supernatural energy. Like they are connected some how. He was way weaker in Ends then he was in Kills and he still had the mask. They keep calling him the Boogy Man. While she was killing him, she proclaimed she even tried to forgive him. Just whats been going through my head. Also the house he grew up in was demolished so there might be something there too like him standing at the window recharged him somehow. Who knows. I think alot was left for us to speculate.
He also hasn't had the mask for 40 years and yet he was fine in Halloween 2018. Your theory doesn't make any more sence than the one about him not having killend anyone within the 4 years between halloween kills and halloween ends. Also he had the mask for this 4 year period between kills and ends and yet Corey youst took the mask from him. By the way, it is implied that micheal did kill people between kills and ends. That homeless dude that draged corey to be killed by michael said: "why did he let you live? You're gonna get me that mask" That implies, that he had done that before and michael had both his mask and a couple of kills between between kills and ends
That's why I wasn't really upset about the showdown not being the main plot of the film, Michael doesn't care at all about Laurie. He only tried to kill her because she was there when he retrieved his mask. She was just there. He, doesn't, care, about her.
I think he was weak from the street fight and being stabbed in the back by Karen. His childhood home was demolished and he was homeless with no nourishment plus he is old.
@@Melack5248 yeah but its a lot more believable a really durable human being could survive that as compared to like what he did in Kills, where it’s literally unbelievable that he could’ve survived without being immortal.
@@thatfishguy4991 MM always has been supernatural! Thats why it is so stupid that they nerf him down! No normal human can survive what MM has been throw!
I read a quote from DGG and he says his Michael Myers is just human and him being more than a man is just a theory of Laurie's which blows my mind. So apparently Myers has no powers in this timeline I wish I can show you the quote cause it contradicts everything especially what Dr. Loomis says about Michael in the original. I don't think Green or Jamie had any idea what they were doing and that's why Myers died so easily. The mask was just a mask taken from a hardware store
He died because JLC wanted her moment. It makes no more sense for him die from his injuries in Ends than those received in Kills. They "jumped the shark" in Kills so to take him out like she did in Ends defies logic, but the actress and the directors/writers wanted it to be personal. An explosion, decapitation, crushing etc would have been more believable than him bleeding out. He had more holes than a tea bag at the end of Kills
Here is a definitive answer to the whole Michael being locked away in Smithsgrove and still coming out powerful enough to do his job in a primal state is because even though 40 years has passed he still has that power retained from killing before smithsgrove even if it wasn’t an entire spree. The time between didn’t drain his energy
Michael was clearly growing stronger throughout the movie. I think he used whatever power he built up to survive and recover as much as possible from that biblical ass beating he took in Kills. If he had carried out more “training wheels” kills with Corey he would have regained his strength fully. However because he sort of steeped Corey in some of his power (Corey also clearly growing stronger and more evil through the movie) had less to build on. Then his external battery Corey dies what you wind up with is Michael at 30% tops. Not to mention whatever fear he conjures as the “boogeyman” being lessened by the lack of awareness of the new killing spree and anyone who knew about it not fearing Michael anymore would dampen that effect. Of course this all assumes some supernatural stuff but it makes sense on screen that way.
I mean I'm conflicted about Michael's end. One one hand, the fight is great between him and Laurie and I love how the town came together in the end to dispose of Michael's body. But just having his neck and wrist slit? That's the blow that finally does Michael in? I mean I'm glad it was Laurie who ended it. Just thought that maybe she'd stab him in the head at least or something abit more fitting. Just him getting pinned and cut like that just doesn't feel satisfying.
In my opinion, I think Myers was so weak because he never took so much damage like in the ending of Halloween Kills ( in this timeline). If they were still going with that " he is human but with a supernatural edge " it explains why he survived so much scars, but the beatdown probably let him weak after the rampage. He may slaughtered all those people at the end as an instant reaction, because of the supernatural possibility, but after that, he was so wounded that he felt he needed to recover, hidden from everyone.
@@roypowell7212 yeah, this is why I made it clear I was talking about the new timeline. The thorn trilogy went with the full supernatural vibe, that's why he survived a whole police department
Just the same with Laurie anything anyone says about Michael should be taken with a grain of salt as he is an enigma. No one knows the facts of how he operates and the what evil force drives him. What we hear from characters are more or less clues of those things.
Dude was badly injured and having seizures in a sewer for years because they demolished his house. He was simply out of his prime and sick. I don’t know why people have to overcomplicate it lol
Read the DDG interview on the Negative feedback on Ends . It was a scam . This trioligy is shit .It was a Scam! Jlc was involved and Carpenter they trolled the Halloween fandom . Malek Akkad is not happy unreal what they did to this Franchise .
The mask is his identity. I totally agree with your theory. The longer he wears it the more he solidifies his place in the world. You can see this in the first scene of 2018 when that podcaster holds the mask up to him.
@@TACKMACK2007 I believe the song After Dark would have been perfect for the movie Halloween Ends it just seems to work so well . I like this video please continue these I'll never complain or send any mean comments I'm a horror movie fan .
My personal theory is similar to this, but I believe age is a factor as well. It's like multiplication. Let's say when Michael myers was in his 20s, he was a 4. Let's say the mask would multiply his power by 10. So obviously, his power would be 40. But as he aged, he turned into a 1, and therefore making his power 10. Hope this makes sense 😅
I think it was a copy cat mental patient that was killed at the end. A mental patient who escaped and copied Michael even to the extent of his fingers. Michael does not team up with other people nor leave people escape. I don’t think it was him in the movie
Agreed, it wasn't anything to do with the story, it was Jamie Lee Curtis wanting this lackluster ending so as to send off her character with the ultimate win against the male antagonist and live happily ever after. I believe Curtis had more creative control than she will admit to and in my opinion she and David Gordon Green ruined this franchise for the fans. Really disappointing.
@@chrisb.1214 I'm not a JLC, but Halloween has been ruined since H5 & on, thier guilty pleasurrs at best. The Gordon films are the creme of the crop of the sequels, the only competition to it is H3 & 4 & those movies have issues as well. The og is still supreme.
Pretty sure Micheal had a multitude of injuries that haven't healed and he was aging. If injuries aren't treated properly they can affect the person's capabilities as they age.
I think his Ending has Alot to do with John Carpenter!! Because He created The Shape, then sold the proprietary rights to Halloween and Michael Myers became an ICON while Halloween III did Ok but was more like a James Bond type movie than a Horror movie. Now Carpenter Originally wanted to do 3 movies, 1 involving Obviously Michael Myers or The Shape, 1 as a Ghost story and 1 a Witch Which was Halloween 3. He sold the rights to Moustapha or whatever his name was for Halloween II and was around during the filming of Halloween II but only as a consultant type position. Because these New movies don't follow the Brother/Sister storyline which I actually thought was better than this iteration! Because seriously in the first movie did he only stalk Laurie because she went up to the front door of the old Myers house or did he feel a Connection to her and That's why he went after her. I think Carpenter dropped the ball and decided to put an End to Michael Myers because of own Short Sightedness on how Popular this Movie ICON could be!!
no matter what the theory that he needs to kill to get power is stupid for the exact reason you said. he did just fine in 2018 after a 40 year drought.
To be fair, he wasn't injured and spent the prime years of his life contained. The 4 years between Kills and Ends he's damn near 70 years old and has been living with open wounds in a Sewer for 4 years after his house got destroyed. People really aren't taking into account age here, dude was sick, old and probably already dying from multiple infections.
@nullandvoid7524 your wrong because the first 2 movies take place in the same night as stated. So you telling me a 60+ year old man was able to kill people in the prime of their life and massacre a mob as an old man to then 4 years later not be able to handle 1 guy? Bruh you tripping. Michael has only been shown to kill laurie in 1 movie in the franchise and this trilogy did nothing but prove that they didn't want laurie to die because Michael had many chances to kill her but plot armor
I’d probably have to disagree, just because if it was a mega Halloween fan who wrote Halloween Ends. We would’ve gotten a very different and better movie.
Lori said in the scene where she is making her book she said that evil can't be destroyed an why would she keep his mask if you put those two together to me it sounds like Michael will come back
@@TACKMACK2007 ok but I think they bring him back in 2 to 3 years from now but for horror movie fans there if prey for they devil I plan I seeing it sometime this week
Good video! but the theory is not a good one. The shape is pure evil and that gives him the strength to do the things he does and withstand damage like no one else. He is not Jason as we saw in Kills he stopped the bleeding on his hand so we know he cures his injuries just don't show that because that is part of the mystery. I agree with everyone that Laurie and the shape should have died together in a much longer fight scene than what we got. Hell, I would have had Hawkins in that final fight as well to try and redeem himself maybe saving Allyson from the shape, and then Laurie jumps in and blows the shape's arm off completely with a shotgun and we see the shape and Laurie both dying together would have been a much dramatic ending in my opinion.
He was obsessed with her for no reason then, the reason for the movie makes no sense. Something triggered him to chase her then disappear. Their trying to have it both ways with this movie. Now a series that ignores the last movie, BS in my opinion.
I was thinking that Micheal ended up at Laurie house just for the mask not even for her I think he didn’t even know Laurie was in the house she was So close by the back door Micheal didn’t even notice her he went straight for the mask
Your theory does not completely answer the question. Michael did not have the mask when he escaped the prison either yet he seemed very strong when he killed the podcasters in 2018
My personal opinion as to why Michael was so weak was because after 4 years of not killing the evil inside him started to fail him. Plus he took so much damage from previous movies so he’s body was not in good shape either so the combination of both things lead to his downfall
For crying out loud, Michael had his head chopped off in H20, why are people belly aching. The character is 65 in ENDS i am glad they passed the torch to Cory. If it wasn't for PEE COCK ENDS would have made more money at the box office. No need for streaming it's 2022 not 2020. I like Ends, new and fresh and good soundtrack.
I’m happy that you enjoyed Ends, but at the end of the day (most of us) didn’t. But not because Micheal died, more because it was his film and he only really got a cameo in it. So, that’s why we’re pissed off!
@@TACKMACK2007 If you think about it, Halloween 2018 was about Laurie and Michael, KILLS was about Michael and Laurie was given the same treatment as Michael in ENDS, anywoo, when you get comedy goers tackle a Halloween or Horror project it was doomed at the beginning. Ha Halloween 2018 was OK...and sure the trilogy out did some of the poor sequels after H4 and Rob Zombie's white trash development so can't really complain. Just wait for Halloween ENDS P-CUT ha
Just a theory I don’t think Micheal died I think it was Corey and here’s why I think this!!! When Corey was thrown off the bridge he needed glasses then when Micheal grabbed Corey Micheal saw the memories and let him go then after he didn’t need glasses ? His eyes were black ? Just like Michael’s ? I think Micheal is now in Corey’s body and corey died in Michael’s in the grinder and where did Corey go ??? They didn’t say anything about it ??? Just a theory
I would say definitely not the mask as he was already becoming what he became without it starting at the age of six. The mask was just a convenient store Halloween mask that he stole from the local town store in Haddonfield. Laurie talks about Michael's transcendence from when he kills but the facts about how it works isn't told. How things played out in Kills most fans made the assumption that he was going to be like The Hulk and/or that the number of people he killed would sustain his strength. But again that was never said or confirmed. True in Halloween 2018 he was fine not having killed while having been locked up. But he was also away from his mask all that time too. And the key factor in that was that he had not been attacked and had excessive damage done to him. I believe that made all the difference as to why he was weak in Ends.
You make a good point on the mask thing. Yes Micheal was 6 when he committed his first murder and yes maybe the evil was inside of him for god knows how long. But what I’m more thinking, is that the power went from Micheal into the mask.
@@TACKMACK2007 not to say that couldn't happen but he still acted without it at times even in the original sequels. And being as how the mask was heavily damaged in 2018 he should've been weakened in Kills.
His doctor said in 2018 he didn’t want him moved he had a stable diet an exercise so 2018 an kills is all same night ends takes place few years after so I’m sure he would be weaker than he was when he got set free with no good food or anything he would defo of been deteriorating at his old age
I agree it's more likely it's the mask than the kills but if you're going to use the excuse he hadn't killed in 40 years and was still very strong and wouldn't die so therefore it can't be he gets his strength from the kills, the same would be True for the Mask. He hadn't worn the mask in 40 years either, yet he was still strong that night. So by that logic you'd have to conclude it's not the mask either.
I think you’ve misunderstood what I’m saying in the video. I’m saying that the mask is what keeps him from death, not what makes him kill. Because let’s be honest, any man can kill if he wanted to!
@@TACKMACK2007 I understood what you were saying. I'm saying he hadn't worn the mask for 40 years either. You're saying it can't be the killing that keeps him from death because he hadn't killed in 40 years and is still strong. So with the logic you used it can't the mask that's keeping him strong, that keeps him from death, because in 2018 he barely had that on for a couple hrs yet nothing could stop him. Hopefully that better explains what I was trying to say. I'm certain my first comment I didn't explain it well. Anyway like I said I do agree with you, that if there is a reason why he was so unstoppable, it's more likely the mask that keeps him strong and from death more than it would be the kills that keeps him strong. I was just pointing out that if you're going to use the 40 years as an excuse that it's not the kills, then I think you have to apply the same logic to the mask. Great video though. It's a good discussion. It's my first video of yours that I watched. You got a new subscriber.
Idk about the mask because in 2018 he had been locked up for 40 years and when he got out he brutaly killed 3 people before even putting the mask on so is it really the mask that does it or is it just him. 2018 and kills happen in the same night he murdered like 40 people 1 for every year he was locked up I just don't understand how 4 years later he's a weakling, also when Michael had just started killing again and him and Corey killed the Dr. And nurse you see Michael actually like speed walk at that nurse and hold her up by the throat before pinning her to the wall. So your telling me that he can do that but in the very next scene Corey can just go down to the sewers and beat Michael in a 1 vs 1 and take the one thing he cares about nah I just don't buy it, feels like they had an original plan and shit got messed up when the pandemic hit they just started pumping out random ideas thinking it would be great but in reality this movie isn't horrible but it's not good by any means
I agree with a lot of what your saying, but about the mask thing. He did kill 3 people before he got the mask yes but that’s not what I was saying! I was saying that the mask gives him immunity. Not the ability to kill. Any guy can crack and kill somebody.
@@TACKMACK2007 if he didn't have the mask on when his throat was slit why was he able to still move his arm and choke Laurie with quite a bit of strength as if he'd not just had his throat cut
I will take Curse of Thorn in H6 of (both cuts) thing anyday over weak Michael Myers, even though I do not like the Thorn Curse being a source for his supernatural strength and immortality.
Only made him weak to give Lauri a chance to kill him. No way JLC was coming back to the franchise w/o a victory and happy ending with how resurrection totally destroyed H20 ending.
Ridiculous to say he died because he didn’t have the mask. He kills with and without the mask. If the power was in the mask how could he manage all the kills in 2018 before even getting to the journalists to retrieve his mask. Gordon green just humanised Michael and ends more showed that with his injuries. He was just a wreck from injury. If you watch ends closely, there’s so many sub plot stories that are never explained and don’t make sense. One off the top is Corey showing his hand wound to Michael or checking it after a kill like he was healing from killing. The other is why did they show Michael watching Laurie while Corey went upstairs with Alyson to have him do nothing else for the rest of the film except stand in a sewer. The scene Michael killed the cop to me looked like it invigorated him and gave him energy so why not go terrorise the town again or show us him stalking Laurie again like a call back to H1. In fact I’m sure there’s a scene in a trailer where Laurie says she keeps seeing Michael. So maybe it was used and they dropped it to steer it towards the new ending of Corey dying. I’d love to see the original scripts and endings before all the changes because as much as I like ends. It’s been massively sliced and diced like halloween 6. Taking different versions and editing them together. But do I believe the mask had power. No. I believe Michael possibly felt more powerful when he was wearing it due to the fear it gave people and also that sense of a comforter of being hidden.
Let’s face it, they made so much money with the last trilogy, they’re going to bring him back. We all know there’s a clause in the contract that Michael can never be killed so theyll probably pull the “it was just some homeless psycho guy who found Michael’s mask and happen to come into Laurie’s house and attack her” or something. There were parts about Ends I hated and really liked, but it was far from an appropriate send off for the franchise. The whole ‘Laurie not really giving a f$&k about him anymore” was really dumb and introducing a new character in the last movie and making the entire movie about him when we haven’t invested in him was insane. I can’t stand Alyson as a character so I’m hoping she’s not involved in the next one. I enjoyed the 2018 and Halloween Kills )(except for the “Evil dies tonight shite, that was cringey as hell) but Ends was just horrible. As a stand alone movie, I could’ve liked it, but as a Halloween movie, especially the ending of it, it failed miserably.
His body was also riddled with infections and illness from past injuries, being in his 60s and living rough for four years. The vessel of the Evil is essentially decaying.
Laurie did a good job of cleaning up the bloody mess the next morning when they showed the camera in each room, it didn’t even look like their was anything that went on
The thing with Michael is that he must have a crazy blood clotting factor such that he never bleeds out. He doesn't have a wolverine healing factor like Thorn Michael does. But he never seems to leave a constant blood trail after being wounded. So he's not constantly losing blood which is why most people die rather than the tissue damage itself. Laurie had to make sure to slice open three major blood vessels; the carotid (throat), radial (wrist), and subclavian (armpit) arteries so he bled out quickly.
dont remember dat ting cuttin open his armpit styll
@@cbawitlife She stabbed under his armpit. Yikes. Just think about it hurts.
Michael can’t die this is nonsense tbh
Why no one in this trilogy ever thought to go deeper in the Judith Myers saga is beyond me.
This should have been the perfect chance for a dark psychological no humour style trilogy ala Seven or Zodiac or something similar.A real delve into Myers psyche but na we got Evil dies tonight and other cringe shit 😂🙈
@@chrisdee1583 I wanted some flash backs with Michael and the guy who looks like Loomis. That would have been interesting,.
Because she’s not the interesting one, she was just one of the many girls that was in Michael’s way, of watching out thru the window
@@NoonMight Well why didn't Judith and Michael switch bed rooms to end the window debate? He may have never became a killer. lol
@@joextreme yeah for all we know things might of ended differently
The fan made ending was 1000x better . Where Michael’s mask is on the table it slowly zooms into it to a faded shamrock ☘️ logo
Evil doesn’t die it just changes its form
I think the mask made it easier for him to kill, but it didn't give him super strength. The simple truth is, DGG. most probably along with JLC's input, made the personal decision to end him and make Laurie victorious. He thought by making Michael Myers take a backseat, presenting him as weak, and putting the emphasis on the Corey story, viewers will lose their fascination with the character and easily let him go in the end. It was a total letdown for longtime devoted fans.
I would've been fine with the ending we got in 2018. I was disappointed last year and even more so this year. Hell if they'd just leave us with the ending we got last year without the part where he gets to and slaughters the angry mob I'd be fine with that too.
Mike Myers originally was supernatural,
You don't have your head chopped off you don't have your body electrocuted, you don't get set on fire, short numerous, numerous stab wounds , falling down a mineshaft,
Then you say that's just a normal person,
If that's normal person the army would love to sign people like that
Ya sorry DGG you built him into supernatural monster than copped out without explaining some things that would have added to the mystique. They have hinted at the mask having power since the opening scene of 2018! And how can we forget Micheal kicking in a cop car steel cage divider?! No normal man could ever do that.. in two kicks no less..... ya and if it's the mask that's his power it needed to be touched on and elaborated at least... with a name like ends I was hoping for either multiple endings or tying up loose ends.....shame. it doesn't make sense that Laurie would be so lax.. myers was 10x the psychopath she knew in 78 and 2018 in kills. She should have been even more terrified of him being on the loose. I mean she prayed he would get out so she could kill him why wouldn't she try and hunt him down. Ughhhh DGG /JLC why didn't you care more? Just want to be done with myers....why? Well props to the makeup department you guys gave a shit about micheal still being terrifying and menacing looking. His look in every movie in this trilogy has been top notch. Hence GIVE HIM MORE SCREEN TIME. Jesus all that work and it's over in the blink of an eye. Shame shame shame. Micheal myers is as important to the franchise as he is to the actual holiday! Basically defined what we think of as creepy , spooky , and ethereal. With looks and theme songs. It's
Sad that JC didn't put his heart into it after the success of the first. He really had something special , but just wanted to be done with it .
@ Nefarious 💯💯💯💯💯
@@nefariousnimbus sorry but we already saw in the original film Michael wearing a clowns mask as kid & which is identical what's being made in Halloween III: Season of the Witch
The mask doesn't make Michael any different he is the same with are without it. Too me Michael was sick and probably dying from his injuries he suffered in the last movie. I know he has supernatural ish abilities but technically he is still human
The writers said that Michael is human in this trilogy so makes sense that he has been weaken by his injuries
@@dominicstclairstudios6324but the novel says differently. The ones based on these movies. He "infected" Cory with "pure evil" via telekinesis or some dumb shit. I wanted him to be motivated by the window and window alone. They hinted at that but then abandoned it. Stinky doo doo movie.
Yes Micheal is human and can be killed. He has supernatural abilities but he can still die and the infection really messed him up
If the mask gave him the powers how was he weak when the movie started with him having the mask on … lol
true
He is old
@@helis.pm1 he been that
My theory: The reason that Michael Myers, AKA: The Shape is extremely weak in Halloween Ends, it was because from all of the injuries and damage he sustained in the last two movies, (Halloween 2028 & Halloween Kills) and also later on the town of Haddonfield began to lose fear of him from his legend as the boogeyman.
@@logangreene7269 YES I remember someone saying this, not sure exactly who did but I think that is a very plausible theory. I can see the mask theory kinda but I believe it goes along with him not killing anybody. He didn’t have the mask or kill anyone during those 40 some years so how would him not having the mask make him that week if he didn’t have it all those years lol
Okay, but Michael had the mask on the ENTIRE TIME he was down in the sewers (4 years). Yet he was still so weak that he was able to get his ass beat by Corey, AND needed assistance in killing the cop. How does that fit in with your mask theory?
I agree but you guys always have to remember just because he has the mask on doesn’t mean he’s invincible I mean think about it he was stuck in the Asylum for 40 years and what did he have constantly of when he wasn’t killing people food water and rest
@@mechajason Obviously Michael had food, water, and rest down in the sewers cuz he was there for 4 YEARS and wasn’t a toothpick. It’s already shown to us that he needs to eat to survive (the dead eaten dogs). I like the mask theory A LOT, it just doesn’t add up at all pretty much anywhere lol. It could’ve been such a cool idea too, and would’ve made the ending more impactful.
@@mechajason I do agree that they made the mask the catalyst, the cornerstone, of Michael’s actions in these new ones. Him sensing it behind him without seeing it in 2018 shows that
in Halloween 2018, the first time we see him without the mask, he has grey hair and looks to be in 70's, age does play a factor.
You guys also forget that Nick Castle is still alive, there are two Michaels in this film.
Well Michael also didn’t have the mask when he was incarcerated for almost 40 years too. So how was he still powerful when he got hurt by the journalists and still killed them in Halloween 2018?
What was the deal with Corey being tormented by 5 high school band members? Not a couple of guys from the wrestling team or football team, but band members. Is the Chess Club going to be a street gang in the next movie?
🤣🤣🤣 it was definitely a different twist
The captain of the football team
Slit his wrists over an emo song.
I would’ve been satisfied if both Laurie and Michael would’ve killed each other. Like a stalemate.
Same
he got nerfed for being too good
He also was without his mask for 40 years, yet the night he got it back he was instantly superhuman. If bring away from it for a long time weakened him then hiw did he get that strong in one night with it back? And if it charged him in a night after being without it for 40 years, then sure being without it fr less than a ray didn't weaken him that much. Plus he had it on for most of the movie and could barely walk even before losing it
Also there’s evidence to support this. In 78 he freaks out when the mask is removed. In 2018 he’s reignited when put in close proximity to it and kills to get to it. In Kills he freaks out and stops attacking Lindsey when it’s almost removed and he also chases after Karen for taking it. Also the original ending somewhat goes with it too in that Michael dies and because Laurie keeps the mask around, she gains a darkness and in the original ending they cut around her home like in 78’s ending while she breathes. The power is def the mask. I really think a sequel to the trilogy should happen with incorporating Halloween 3 in a reboot way. Would be so fascinating and a great way to revitalise the essence of Michael while telling that H3 story.
Literally got the Thanos infinity shakes from killing Doug
Hopefully the next one starts with Corey
I would be down for that!
Interesting take. I for one believe it to be plot convenience ;)
Theory Time: Michael Myers is patient zero from The Silver Shamrock ☘️ from the little clown costume to the William Shatner mask and whenever someone wears something from The Silver Shamrock ☘️ Bad things happens
I'd take this plot over the shite we got anyday pal! 👍
Been saying that for a whole while.
No theory makes sense. The "not enough kills" doesn't make sense for reasons you explained(going 40 years without killing and still being powerful). The mask doesn't make sense because he had the mask for all 4 years he was inactive and yet Allyson's ex-boyfriend/the cop and Corey were both capable of overpowering him. Michael needed Corey's help to take down the cop and Corey overpowered him and took the mask from him.
It's just all around terrible writing that makes no sense. Not even "the inuries he suffered in Kills is why he's so weak" makes sense, seeing as right after suffering all those wounds and injuries he gets up and kills the entire mob, then sneaks back in to the house and kills Karen.
David Gordon Green should be ashamed of himself for the trash he's produced for us with this trilogy(2018 was ok, but the overwhelming stench of Kills and Ends eliminates any good will he created with that), and John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis should be ashamed of themselves for signing off on it.
People are looking at the "The more he kills, the more he transcends" quote too literal. The full quote is "The more he kills, the more he transcends into something impossible to defeat. Fear. The people are afraid. That is the curse of Michael." It's not meant that he literally gets power. It's the fact that he scares people makes him feel powerful. The less people are scared, the more useless he feels and therefore goes dormant and such in this film.
Cool explaining but I don’t think it was easier for him to die. Laurie cut his throat, his arm, and stabbed his hand. After all of that Michael almost killed Laurie
Yeah I know. I’m more comparing to other deaths for him!
@@TACKMACK2007 well he did not have the mask for 40 years until the reporter's brought it to him even so he still killed those reporter's and mechanic worker's without the mask
@@TACKMACK2007 he was weak because Halloween kills destroyed him
just discovered ur channel and ur such a dope film youtuber
Why thank u!
I believe a number of things contributed to his death. without the mask for too long and not enough kills to give him his strength. The both combined was the reason and the Evil within felt Michaels weekness and wanted to find a new host
I can see why your probably right! But I still stand by my theory.
@@TACKMACK2007I don’t think he died their gonna say it was just a homeless guy or something so They can make more money
He's old now so it's understandable that he's weak
I believe the human part of Michael Myers was dying which made the evil part of him leave completely.
Maybe!
See here's the thing, if the movie wasn't marketed as a MICHAEL MYERS film no one would bat an eye at what happened or how it turned out.
I was born in 95 and every single Halloween movie has been marketed as Michael Myers movies. Season of the Witch has been irrelevant since it came out and no one brings it up except for reviewers or cult fans. The main problem with the current trilogy is retconning details people have literally GROWN with.
Like Michael suddenly not caring about Laurie, Michael suddenly being human, Michael suddenly being killable, Michael suddenly not being related to Laurie. What attracted me to Michael's story when I was a kid was him being unkillable and mysterious. Making him a regular guy who gets affected by age, disease, wounds, regular people problems and the like drains everything intimidating about him. Michael was clearly supernatural in Halloween Kills. 100% and in Ends we see him rejuvenate when he kills someone. With all those details he shouldn't be easy to kill.
It was just done to be done in my opinion. It wasn't story driven it was glory driven.
Plot armor.
He wasn't dead, he went dormant like he does after being seriously wounded. It was in that dormant state that Laurie dumped him into the metal muncher, that's what killed him.
The whole reason why he was so weak was bc of all his injuries he had taken with no medical attention. He got beat down by a mob & stabbed with a Pitchfork his fingers were blown off so that basically told us that he's not supernatural. Think about it he's not showering & cleaning his wounds putting Neosporin on & changing his bandages.
He was weak without killing in ends because if he goes a while without killing his strength returns too a base level which is still strong but because he’s gone through so much damage that base level reduced significantly so in 2018 he was at say 50% at the start with no kills then in kills after killing he’s at 100% but after not killing he would be at 50% again but due to being injured and not killing he was reduced too 10%
Maybe, but I still stand by my theory.
@@TACKMACK2007 but it has no proof after 40 years of not wearing it he managed to take a crowbar to the face single handedly take on a guy 20 years younger and manhandle him lift up a woman with ease beat up lots of people snap jaws beat up mechanics even before he got his mask and if that was the case he wore the mask for 4 years why did he get stronger when killing in those 4 years not while wearing the mask?
@@mrmagno5955 possibly, but then your saying that him being shot, stabbed and beaten up is nothing, but infection is what’s bringing him down..? Yeah, I don’t think so
@@mrmagno5955 Oh and, I never said I think the mask makes him stronger. I just said it’s the thing that didn’t let him die. Him killing is just him killing! The mask isn’t making him do that because he killed for the first time at the age of 6. Which was years before he retrieved the mask!
@@TACKMACK2007 you said the mask gives him his power which it doesn’t because 40 years after not wearing it he has the power to lift a woman fully with ease beat several guys to death in a fashion that’s inhuman and take a crowbar to the face and shrug it off like it’s nothing before wearing his mask that shows the mask doesn’t give him power it’s Michael himself who has power and he did that at age 61
The filmmakers state multiple times that he's just a human in this trilogy. He's not supernatural. He was probably weak because he's old and lived in the sewer where he didn't receive care like he did when he was locked up. They say the pandemic was supposed to play a role so it's likely he was meant to have caught COVID leaving him weaker.
You mean to tell me Micheal caught long COVID and that’s why he was bullied by Corey lol
@@Dakanababy12 hahahaha this comment made me LOL so glad they didn't mention covid like I thought they would as if that would affect him lol
Survives multiple stab and gun wounds,dies of the sniffles 🤣🙈
@@marcovens9440 i thought that was gonna be why he was gone for so long since they made COVID such a big thing in the interview. I just wanna know how he caught it since it seems he wears his mask all the time.
You mean the rebranded flu?
I don’t think him not killing is what made him so weak enough to get killed, because you remember when the bum told Corey people always go in the sewer and never come back out implying that Michael has killed some people within the 4 years. He spent 40 years in Smithgrove without slaughtering anyone and still came out on a rampage so I don’t think that’s a reason. There is no way in hell Laurie could’ve beat him realistically. DGG had no idea what do with this final movie so he gave us all these stupid plot distractions to keep the focus off Michael and made him purposely weak when we did see him so it would be easier and more understandable to accept him dying. I get Ends is supposed to be the finale, but its still a failure. Good vid btw
I literally say everything you just talked about in the video. So, I couldn’t agree more!
Maybe his untreated wounds got infection since he lives in Sewer, Rats live there too.Then Laurie stab her 3 times causing him to lose lot of blood.
@@garysmith8915 He endured a lot more than that.Age and untreated wounds theory is illogical.They have shown him growing in power when he kills with Corey.Earlier in the movie homeless guy said he drags people in to sewers and kills them,but still he was weak,then his sidekick helps him kill,he was slowly getting better.Just literal bullsh*t of a movie.
Simply put, age can't lie, no matter how much effort you put into it, it's still different from when you were young, Mychael is also a human, there must be a time when you die, unlike Jason, who is immortal.
NOBODY beats father time. Except for 60+ year old Laurie Strode. lol.
Michael had covid as well
Jason is not Immortal
@@robinson01902 Jason isn't immortal? You watch any friday the 13th movies or just part 2 and 2019 movie version?
@@joextreme I do know that Jason became a Supernatural Entity in Friday the 13th Part 6, when he was Resurrected by lightning. Immortal means that one can live Forever. Never dying or decaying. Jason was a Decaying Corpses, who got killed in every movie from Part 6, until someone or something brung him back to life. Immortal Beings can still be killed. For Example, I would say that a onscreen character like Superman is Immortal. Because No Conventional weapons on earth can kill Superman. However Superman can still be killed by Extraordinary Means. Jason is Unkillable for the most part, but Jason isn't Immortal because Jason can still get killed with Regular Weapons. Jason is still Earthbound. I hope that's explains, what Immortal means.
I think Michael was weaker because his house was ripped down. You think about it he killed his sister inside the house. He always hid inside his house at the end of every movie. So logic would suggest that without the Myers house Michaels power is being drained and he becomes weaker.
Yes, that’s definitely something that could be the reason.
But Michael was after Laurie! Remember in 78 she dropped off keys at Myers house, then he became stalking her, following Tommy because he was the kid Laurie babysat, would stand outside her window, and stand outside her school window. Frank Hawkins was actually wrong and Laurie was right!
No because Micheal’s only motivation was to go home and look out of his sister’s window.
You would've thought someone called the Haddonfield Dept. of Sewage and Waste Treatment to report a guy in the sewer who's unauthorized to be there..
I kinda felt like Lourie moving on with her life and stop being afraid of Michael stopped feeding him his supernatural energy. Like they are connected some how. He was way weaker in Ends then he was in Kills and he still had the mask. They keep calling him the Boogy Man. While she was killing him, she proclaimed she even tried to forgive him. Just whats been going through my head. Also the house he grew up in was demolished so there might be something there too like him standing at the window recharged him somehow. Who knows. I think alot was left for us to speculate.
He also hasn't had the mask for 40 years and yet he was fine in Halloween 2018.
Your theory doesn't make any more sence than the one about him not having killend anyone within the 4 years between halloween kills and halloween ends.
Also he had the mask for this 4 year period between kills and ends and yet Corey youst took the mask from him.
By the way, it is implied that micheal did kill people between kills and ends. That homeless dude that draged corey to be killed by michael said: "why did he let you live? You're gonna get me that mask"
That implies, that he had done that before and michael had both his mask and a couple of kills between between kills and ends
That's why I wasn't really upset about the showdown not being the main plot of the film, Michael doesn't care at all about Laurie. He only tried to kill her because she was there when he retrieved his mask. She was just there. He, doesn't, care, about her.
Yeah, that’s very true!
My theory is that it’s because they stopped fearing Mike. Just about everytime anybody had no fear for the shape they bested him.
I think he was weak from the street fight and being stabbed in the back by Karen. His childhood home was demolished and he was homeless with no nourishment plus he is old.
Lmao. What was he gonna eat? Rotten apples in the gays house?
That’s why he killed Karen
Nirishment??? Lol he was probably eating 64 oz steaks at the local truck stops every night
Im glad they made Michael human again since that’s what makes the original so scary imo, but also it was weird to make him human after kills.
Exactly!
Human in the original? Get shot 6 times in his chest and still walks away. So no he aint a normal human. He is a supernatural being!
@@Melack5248 I think he meant as a kid
@@Melack5248 yeah but its a lot more believable a really durable human being could survive that as compared to like what he did in Kills, where it’s literally unbelievable that he could’ve survived without being immortal.
@@thatfishguy4991 MM always has been supernatural! Thats why it is so stupid that they nerf him down! No normal human can survive what MM has been throw!
They should have went the kills = power route, it would have given Corey a solid in incentive to feed Michael people.
Yeah, probably!
I read a quote from DGG and he says his Michael Myers is just human and him being more than a man is just a theory of Laurie's which blows my mind. So apparently Myers has no powers in this timeline I wish I can show you the quote cause it contradicts everything especially what Dr. Loomis says about Michael in the original. I don't think Green or Jamie had any idea what they were doing and that's why Myers died so easily. The mask was just a mask taken from a hardware store
He died because JLC wanted her moment. It makes no more sense for him die from his injuries in Ends than those received in Kills. They "jumped the shark" in Kills so to take him out like she did in Ends defies logic, but the actress and the directors/writers wanted it to be personal. An explosion, decapitation, crushing etc would have been more believable than him bleeding out. He had more holes than a tea bag at the end of Kills
Here is a definitive answer to the whole Michael being locked away in Smithsgrove and still coming out powerful enough to do his job in a primal state is because even though 40 years has passed he still has that power retained from killing before smithsgrove even if it wasn’t an entire spree. The time between didn’t drain his energy
He wore the mask for 4 years and was gimping around until he killed Doug. Splain.
Michael was clearly growing stronger throughout the movie. I think he used whatever power he built up to survive and recover as much as possible from that biblical ass beating he took in Kills. If he had carried out more “training wheels” kills with Corey he would have regained his strength fully. However because he sort of steeped Corey in some of his power (Corey also clearly growing stronger and more evil through the movie) had less to build on. Then his external battery Corey dies what you wind up with is Michael at 30% tops. Not to mention whatever fear he conjures as the “boogeyman” being lessened by the lack of awareness of the new killing spree and anyone who knew about it not fearing Michael anymore would dampen that effect. Of course this all assumes some supernatural stuff but it makes sense on screen that way.
I agree with you
He didn’t have the mask for 40 years and he was really strong in the beginning of halloween 2018 even with the mask off
You’ve misunderstood what I’m saying. I’m saying that the mask (just) keeps him from death. If doesn’t give him strength!
@@TACKMACK2007 oh sorry
I mean I'm conflicted about Michael's end. One one hand, the fight is great between him and Laurie and I love how the town came together in the end to dispose of Michael's body. But just having his neck and wrist slit? That's the blow that finally does Michael in? I mean I'm glad it was Laurie who ended it. Just thought that maybe she'd stab him in the head at least or something abit more fitting. Just him getting pinned and cut like that just doesn't feel satisfying.
In my opinion, I think Myers was so weak because he never took so much damage like in the ending of Halloween Kills ( in this timeline). If they were still going with that " he is human but with a supernatural edge " it explains why he survived so much scars, but the beatdown probably let him weak after the rampage. He may slaughtered all those people at the end as an instant reaction, because of the supernatural possibility, but after that, he was so wounded that he felt he needed to recover, hidden from everyone.
In Halloween 4 or 5 (cant remember which) he gets shot by the police department about 500 times and still cracks on.
@@roypowell7212 yeah, this is why I made it clear I was talking about the new timeline. The thorn trilogy went with the full supernatural vibe, that's why he survived a whole police department
Just the same with Laurie anything anyone says about Michael should be taken with a grain of salt as he is an enigma. No one knows the facts of how he operates and the what evil force drives him. What we hear from characters are more or less clues of those things.
Dude was badly injured and having seizures in a sewer for years because they demolished his house. He was simply out of his prime and sick. I don’t know why people have to overcomplicate it lol
Evil dose not die it it just changes shape 😉
Read the DDG interview on the Negative feedback on Ends . It was a scam . This trioligy is shit .It was a Scam! Jlc was involved and Carpenter they trolled the Halloween fandom . Malek Akkad is not happy unreal what they did to this Franchise .
The mask is his identity. I totally agree with your theory. The longer he wears it the more he solidifies his place in the world. You can see this in the first scene of 2018 when that podcaster holds the mask up to him.
I completely forgot about that scene! Yeah, it does make my theory 10% more true.
@@TACKMACK2007
I believe the song
After Dark would have been perfect for the movie Halloween Ends it just seems to work so well .
I like this video please continue these I'll never complain or send any mean comments I'm a horror movie fan .
My personal theory is similar to this, but I believe age is a factor as well. It's like multiplication. Let's say when Michael myers was in his 20s, he was a 4. Let's say the mask would multiply his power by 10. So obviously, his power would be 40. But as he aged, he turned into a 1, and therefore making his power 10.
Hope this makes sense 😅
I get what your trying to say. And I do think you give pretty good reason!
I think it was a copy cat mental patient that was killed at the end. A mental patient who escaped and copied Michael even to the extent of his fingers. Michael does not team up with other people nor leave people escape. I don’t think it was him in the movie
It's cuz of Jaime Lee Curtis inputs to make him weaker so it'll be believable for her character to manhandled him It's just that point blank
Agreed, it wasn't anything to do with the story, it was Jamie Lee Curtis wanting this lackluster ending so as to send off her character with the ultimate win against the male antagonist and live happily ever after. I believe Curtis had more creative control than she will admit to and in my opinion she and David Gordon Green ruined this franchise for the fans. Really disappointing.
JLC was one of the producers. She has more creative control than we realize.
Exactly remade the series just to end it like the other timelines Laurie wins 😂😂😂shit boring
@@chrisb.1214 I'm not a JLC, but Halloween has been ruined since H5 & on, thier guilty pleasurrs at best. The Gordon films are the creme of the crop of the sequels, the only competition to it is H3 & 4 & those movies have issues as well. The og is still supreme.
All I got to say is that Michael went crazy before that mask was ever a thought in "Halloween" (1978).
Yes, but the evil could’ve just went from Micheal into the mask..?
@@TACKMACK2007 energy is transferred so yeah that's possible
Might be like a Freddy thing maybe it's fear of him that brings his superhuman strength but honestly idk
Pretty sure Micheal had a multitude of injuries that haven't healed and he was aging. If injuries aren't treated properly they can affect the person's capabilities as they age.
I’ve seen quite a few people tell me this. It still doesn’t explain how he was able to kill everyone in the mob and Karon.
@@TACKMACK2007 well a survival instinct and adrenaline along with being the physical embodiment of evil may have helped...
@@LukeDodge916 possibly but at the end of the day, he’s still Micheal Fing Myers! So, for that reason, I still stand by my theory.
@@TACKMACK2007 I mean if you’ve watched ends then you’d know each time he kills he gets stronger
I think his Ending has Alot to do with John Carpenter!! Because He created The Shape, then sold the proprietary rights to Halloween and Michael Myers became an ICON while Halloween III did Ok but was more like a James Bond type movie than a Horror movie. Now Carpenter Originally wanted to do 3 movies, 1 involving Obviously Michael Myers or The Shape, 1 as a Ghost story and 1 a Witch Which was Halloween 3. He sold the rights to Moustapha or whatever his name was for Halloween II and was around during the filming of Halloween II but only as a consultant type position. Because these New movies don't follow the Brother/Sister storyline which I actually thought was better than this iteration! Because seriously in the first movie did he only stalk Laurie because she went up to the front door of the old Myers house or did he feel a Connection to her and That's why he went after her. I think Carpenter dropped the ball and decided to put an End to Michael Myers because of own Short Sightedness on how Popular this Movie ICON could be!!
no matter what the theory that he needs to kill to get power is stupid for the exact reason you said. he did just fine in 2018 after a 40 year drought.
To be fair, he wasn't injured and spent the prime years of his life contained.
The 4 years between Kills and Ends he's damn near 70 years old and has been living with open wounds in a Sewer for 4 years after his house got destroyed.
People really aren't taking into account age here, dude was sick, old and probably already dying from multiple infections.
@nullandvoid7524 your wrong because the first 2 movies take place in the same night as stated. So you telling me a 60+ year old man was able to kill people in the prime of their life and massacre a mob as an old man to then 4 years later not be able to handle 1 guy? Bruh you tripping. Michael has only been shown to kill laurie in 1 movie in the franchise and this trilogy did nothing but prove that they didn't want laurie to die because Michael had many chances to kill her but plot armor
He got his but beat in halloween kills didn't have his mask.
Let's face facts most fans today don't like most horror films. And that's because fans aren't the fans they used to be.
I’d probably have to disagree, just because if it was a mega Halloween fan who wrote Halloween Ends. We would’ve gotten a very different and better movie.
This movie was a joke ruined Michael myers tbh
Great point
Lori said in the scene where she is making her book she said that evil can't be destroyed an why would she keep his mask if you put those two together to me it sounds like Michael will come back
I do believe Micheal will come back, 100% yes! But in this timeline, absolutely not.
@@TACKMACK2007 ok but I think they bring him back in 2 to 3 years from now but for horror movie fans there if prey for they devil I plan I seeing it sometime this week
His age and injuries. Simple as that.
Good video! but the theory is not a good one. The shape is pure evil and that gives him the strength to do the things he does and withstand damage like no one else. He is not Jason as we saw in Kills he stopped the bleeding on his hand so we know he cures his injuries just don't show that because that is part of the mystery. I agree with everyone that Laurie and the shape should have died together in a much longer fight scene than what we got. Hell, I would have had Hawkins in that final fight as well to try and redeem himself maybe saving Allyson from the shape, and then Laurie jumps in and blows the shape's arm off completely with a shotgun and we see the shape and Laurie both dying together would have been a much dramatic ending in my opinion.
He was obsessed with her for no reason then, the reason for the movie makes no sense. Something triggered him to chase her then disappear. Their trying to have it both ways with this movie. Now a series that ignores the last movie, BS in my opinion.
They really messed up the movie. But the actors did a great job
I was thinking that Micheal ended up at Laurie house just for the mask not even for her I think he didn’t even know Laurie was in the house she was So close by the back door Micheal didn’t even notice her he went straight for the mask
Exactly!
I still bet money he’s not dead in this timeline. Just because we watched him die doesn’t mean he’s dead. How many times have we “watched him die”?
Your theory does not completely answer the question. Michael did not have the mask when he escaped the prison either yet he seemed very strong when he killed the podcasters in 2018
Well that’s not quite right because I was never saying that the mask makes him kill. I was saying the mask keeps him from dying!
Infected wounds, he was seen bandaging up his blown off fingers in HK😭
True he was weakened by untreated wounds
as the new brand new 3 films used the same storyline from 1,2,4,5,6
They were left with their own imagination and didn't know what to
He gets his powers from killing you see in the sewer after Cory gets him to kill that dude. Michael clearly appears to get stronger after he kills him
Let's not forget about the fact that he did sense that the mask was near in the beginning of H40
Yes, but you do also have to remember that, that is a different Halloween timeline. So, not the same Micheal as this one.
@@TACKMACK2007 no it's part of the same timeline lol H40 is Halloween 2018 🙃
@@sleepster2445 That ladies and gentlemen, is genius!
Corey just beating Michaels ass an taking his mask pissed me off lol...like dam
My personal opinion as to why Michael was so weak was because after 4 years of not killing the evil inside him started to fail him. Plus he took so much damage from previous movies so he’s body was not in good shape either so the combination of both things lead to his downfall
They should be a new Halloween movie every other year for Halloween what is Micheal with out the halloween szn
For crying out loud, Michael had his head chopped off in H20, why are people belly aching. The character is 65 in ENDS i am glad they passed the torch to Cory. If it wasn't for PEE COCK ENDS would have made more money at the box office. No need for streaming it's 2022 not 2020. I like Ends, new and fresh and good soundtrack.
I’m happy that you enjoyed Ends, but at the end of the day (most of us) didn’t. But not because Micheal died, more because it was his film and he only really got a cameo in it. So, that’s why we’re pissed off!
@@TACKMACK2007 If you think about it, Halloween 2018 was about Laurie and Michael, KILLS was about Michael and Laurie was given the same treatment as Michael in ENDS, anywoo, when you get comedy goers tackle a Halloween or Horror project it was doomed at the beginning. Ha Halloween 2018 was OK...and sure the trilogy out did some of the poor sequels after H4 and Rob Zombie's white trash development so can't really complain. Just wait for Halloween ENDS P-CUT ha
Just a theory I don’t think Micheal died I think it was Corey and here’s why I think this!!! When Corey was thrown off the bridge he needed glasses then when Micheal grabbed Corey Micheal saw the memories and let him go then after he didn’t need glasses ? His eyes were black ? Just like Michael’s ? I think Micheal is now in Corey’s body and corey died in Michael’s in the grinder and where did Corey go ??? They didn’t say anything about it ??? Just a theory
I would say definitely not the mask as he was already becoming what he became without it starting at the age of six.
The mask was just a convenient store Halloween mask that he stole from the local town store in Haddonfield.
Laurie talks about Michael's transcendence from when he kills but the facts about how it works isn't told.
How things played out in Kills most fans made the assumption that he was going to be like The Hulk and/or that the number of people he killed would sustain his strength. But again that was never said or confirmed.
True in Halloween 2018 he was fine not having killed while having been locked up. But he was also away from his mask all that time too. And the key factor in that was that he had not been attacked and had excessive damage done to him. I believe that made all the difference as to why he was weak in Ends.
You make a good point on the mask thing. Yes Micheal was 6 when he committed his first murder and yes maybe the evil was inside of him for god knows how long. But what I’m more thinking, is that the power went from Micheal into the mask.
@@TACKMACK2007 Well one thing this trilogy never explained, how did he become evil? Did Judith abuse him?
@@TACKMACK2007 not to say that couldn't happen but he still acted without it at times even in the original sequels. And being as how the mask was heavily damaged in 2018 he should've been weakened in Kills.
@@TACKMACK2007 I'm not saying you're wrong I just don't feel there's enough to go on to support it.
@@B1Kobe0824 Well, it’s just really a shame that we’ll never get the proper answer to it. 😔
The only reason she took the mask off was to show the audience thar it was indeed him and not anyone else. Not a fan of the film
His doctor said in 2018 he didn’t want him moved he had a stable diet an exercise so 2018 an kills is all same night ends takes place few years after so I’m sure he would be weaker than he was when he got set free with no good food or anything he would defo of been deteriorating at his old age
Some people liked it? Some people like to get pissed on. People are weird.
The host of this channel sounds like bobatalks
I agree it's more likely it's the mask than the kills but if you're going to use the excuse he hadn't killed in 40 years and was still very strong and wouldn't die so therefore it can't be he gets his strength from the kills, the same would be True for the Mask. He hadn't worn the mask in 40 years either, yet he was still strong that night. So by that logic you'd have to conclude it's not the mask either.
I think you’ve misunderstood what I’m saying in the video. I’m saying that the mask is what keeps him from death, not what makes him kill. Because let’s be honest, any man can kill if he wanted to!
@@TACKMACK2007 I understood what you were saying. I'm saying he hadn't worn the mask for 40 years either. You're saying it can't be the killing that keeps him from death because he hadn't killed in 40 years and is still strong. So with the logic you used it can't the mask that's keeping him strong, that keeps him from death, because in 2018 he barely had that on for a couple hrs yet nothing could stop him. Hopefully that better explains what I was trying to say. I'm certain my first comment I didn't explain it well.
Anyway like I said I do agree with you, that if there is a reason why he was so unstoppable, it's more likely the mask that keeps him strong and from death more than it would be the kills that keeps him strong.
I was just pointing out that if you're going to use the 40 years as an excuse that it's not the kills, then I think you have to apply the same logic to the mask.
Great video though. It's a good discussion. It's my first video of yours that I watched. You got a new subscriber.
@@davidodonnell663 Yes that’s what I thought you were saying! He wasn’t shot or anything until he got the mask.
How bout fact that Corey seem be kinda transferred by his power once he was touched.
Idk about the mask because in 2018 he had been locked up for 40 years and when he got out he brutaly killed 3 people before even putting the mask on so is it really the mask that does it or is it just him. 2018 and kills happen in the same night he murdered like 40 people 1 for every year he was locked up I just don't understand how 4 years later he's a weakling, also when Michael had just started killing again and him and Corey killed the Dr. And nurse you see Michael actually like speed walk at that nurse and hold her up by the throat before pinning her to the wall. So your telling me that he can do that but in the very next scene Corey can just go down to the sewers and beat Michael in a 1 vs 1 and take the one thing he cares about nah I just don't buy it, feels like they had an original plan and shit got messed up when the pandemic hit they just started pumping out random ideas thinking it would be great but in reality this movie isn't horrible but it's not good by any means
I agree with a lot of what your saying, but about the mask thing. He did kill 3 people before he got the mask yes but that’s not what I was saying! I was saying that the mask gives him immunity. Not the ability to kill. Any guy can crack and kill somebody.
@@TACKMACK2007 if he didn't have the mask on when his throat was slit why was he able to still move his arm and choke Laurie with quite a bit of strength as if he'd not just had his throat cut
@@kristopheryoung46 because he was wearing the mask about 1 minute or so before. Power would have still been in him.
I think Michael Myers was killed so easly because he didn't want to be in this shity ass story line, which also explains his hiding
If I were him. Yeah!
Hahahaha yesssss!🤣
I will take Curse of Thorn in H6 of (both cuts) thing anyday over weak Michael Myers, even though I do not like the Thorn Curse being a source for his supernatural strength and immortality.
Only made him weak to give Lauri a chance to kill him. No way JLC was coming back to the franchise w/o a victory and happy ending with how resurrection totally destroyed H20 ending.
Ridiculous to say he died because he didn’t have the mask. He kills with and without the mask. If the power was in the mask how could he manage all the kills in 2018 before even getting to the journalists to retrieve his mask. Gordon green just humanised Michael and ends more showed that with his injuries. He was just a wreck from injury. If you watch ends closely, there’s so many sub plot stories that are never explained and don’t make sense. One off the top is Corey showing his hand wound to Michael or checking it after a kill like he was healing from killing. The other is why did they show Michael watching Laurie while Corey went upstairs with Alyson to have him do nothing else for the rest of the film except stand in a sewer. The scene Michael killed the cop to me looked like it invigorated him and gave him energy so why not go terrorise the town again or show us him stalking Laurie again like a call back to H1. In fact I’m sure there’s a scene in a trailer where Laurie says she keeps seeing Michael. So maybe it was used and they dropped it to steer it towards the new ending of Corey dying. I’d love to see the original scripts and endings before all the changes because as much as I like ends. It’s been massively sliced and diced like halloween 6. Taking different versions and editing them together. But do I believe the mask had power. No. I believe Michael possibly felt more powerful when he was wearing it due to the fear it gave people and also that sense of a comforter of being hidden.
Let’s face it, they made so much money with the last trilogy, they’re going to bring him back. We all know there’s a clause in the contract that Michael can never be killed so theyll probably pull the “it was just some homeless psycho guy who found Michael’s mask and happen to come into Laurie’s house and attack her” or something. There were parts about Ends I hated and really liked, but it was far from an appropriate send off for the franchise. The whole ‘Laurie not really giving a f$&k about him anymore” was really dumb and introducing a new character in the last movie and making the entire movie about him when we haven’t invested in him was insane. I can’t stand Alyson as a character so I’m hoping she’s not involved in the next one. I enjoyed the 2018 and Halloween Kills )(except for the “Evil dies tonight shite, that was cringey as hell) but Ends was just horrible. As a stand alone movie, I could’ve liked it, but as a Halloween movie, especially the ending of it, it failed miserably.
His body was also riddled with infections and illness from past injuries, being in his 60s and living rough for four years. The vessel of the Evil is essentially decaying.
