      IDK how but i got into a niche community of chucky fans on twt and instagram prior to the release of the first season and was basically ONLY exposed to the die-hard fans with unpopular opinions and extensive headcanons and no matter how anyone felt about the shows direction every episode release felt like an event for the first two seasons. Most of them favored Curse and Cult more than any other movie in the franchise and really enjoyed Nica as a character and Fiona Dourif's acting and it felt like they just kept doing a disservice to her as the series went on. At least in my experience, towards the end of season two when it became clear she was basically just going to go through the same torture cycle as Andy in original trilogy is when everyone stopped talking about it.

      ​@m4gg1tz I liked season 1 well enough but after season 2 I stopped watching the show and it went downhill from there. And Nica just feels like one of those characters that was doomed by the narrative from the start. Poor woman can never get a break.

    Fun fact in Childs Play 3 when Chucky's blood dripped into the vat of whatever it was, the creator originally wanted there to be an army of Chucky's because that is what would've happened and I assume to break the mold. But they couldn't due to budgetary restrictions.

      People say that only because they don't know Chucky. He's fast as hell,smart as hell,and has the strength of a full grown adult who can strangle people with his barehands (hence his nick name). Not to mention there's literally a thousand of him with copies,and not to mention his on and off wife Tiffany and two kids.
      He's gonna be near impossible to escape,as everyone except for Andy and the main 3 in the show ever escaped him. The rest either died or are worst off for the rest of their life. So yeah,"just kick him" never will work

      I think the TV show confirmed that Chucky is shockingly strong for someone his size. Besides, Chucky's usually not the one to go full aggressive unless he's like pissed off. The scariest thing about him is that he uses the fact that he's small to an advantage and can hide and shift through places most people wouldn't suspect.

    Explaining the night Charles Lee Ray died - Chucky met Sarah (Nica's mom), murdered her husband, and began stalking her. Tiffany came home one night and found Chucky killing without her. He gets upset at her nagging about them never spending time together anymore and leaves to kidnap Sarah, who he sees as his side chick. Tiffany calls the cops (she DOES NOT know about Sarah) and tells them where Chucky's hideout is. Chucky is holding Sarah hostage while Eddie Caputo (the getaway driver) is waiting outside. The police suddenly show up and he thinks she called them (Even though she never said she did). He stabs her baby and runs away. Leading to the opening of the first movie where he's running from the police, Eddie abandons him, he gets shot, and puts his soul into a doll. Meaning, Tiffany let Chucky kill Nica's whole family in Curse over something she actually did. Most likely because she was upset after finding out he had eyes for another woman while they were together...
    Chucky doesn't necessarily want a family. But he knows to have Sarah, he also has to deal with her kids. Plus, he also knows he can "get rid of them" whenever he wants to...

    we used to have a VHS of a schlocky horror movie called The Guardian, about evil druid tree shenanigans.
    One of the preview trailers before the movie was for Child's Play 2, that started on a slowly cranking jack-in-the-box before it got crushed underfoot, with a quick pan up to Chucky spouting the "Sorry, Jack, Chucky's back!"
    That's the entirity of the teaser, and my brother was terrified of Chucky for literal decades, after that. 😂

    From what I remember from Dead Meat covering the third film, the director and writer of the film acknowledged the kid who becomes Chucky’s new friend and potential victim was a mistake due to him being too old to be interested in Chucky (from what I remember Dead Meat explained it better since I haven’t seen the videos in awhile).

    Curse of Chucky was probably my most watched movie. I think it was a really great return to form and (imo) showed a really great depiction of ableism

    I adore Dourif. I admire his love and dedication to Chucky while at the same time always find myself thinking, “People forget this guy’s a legitimate capitol-a Actour”. He just waltzes into Hollywood, snags himself an Oscar nom and some majour awards as Best Supporting Actor in some little film called “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”, been in great things like “Exorcist III”, “Deadwood”, one of - maybe the best - episodes of “The X-Files” (where staff had to beg for budget help to get Brad), the only decent character in the Rob Zombie “Halloween” films and then some overseas movies called “Lord of the Rings”…. Nothing too big. Yet he’s going to be remembered best as swearing up a storm and having a gleeful time as a killer doll.

I don’t usually say someone’s acting is beyond a movie’s level because I realize everyone is giving it their best but it feels like Dourif just left everyone in the dust there. It’s a haunting scene and a stand-out in a film where everything else feels dredged out of a gutter.

    I love the Chucky franchise because Don Mancini has been with the series since the beginning and it feels like everyone involved has a deep love and appreciation for the series. I also think that when it comes to slasher series, The Childs Play franchise is one of the few to constantly take risks and switch up the formula the fans are used to, while telling a overall story.

Better than seed imo as well

I'd record it on vhs and watch it and giving myself nightmares xD It was like me trying to overcome my fear of dolls. Liked the tv show even if Andy's character kinda got the reboot Luke skywalker treatment. Universal studios 2023 Horror house and 2022 Chucky burger with fruit loops on it turning your hands red was a delight from someone who was scared of Chucky as a kid. Most protagonist were 18-34 women / men not a kid in peril which made it so scarier to me back then. I have a lot of Chucky merch but would never buy a doll tho xD Chuck is our mini Freddy Krueger.

    I would say for Curse of Chucky, it’s not him wanting to be a father and a husband. I think he saw what he viewed as a perfect family and became obsessed with Nicas mother and attaching onto HER views of family in order to explain why he is so infatuated with her. He doesn’t want to be a dad he clearly didn’t care for the kids. Seeing as he hurt nica in the womb and hated how nicas sister eyes sat on her face. He was obsessed with what that women represented in a family unit not the actual family. Once being brought back due to Tiffany and finding out the OG family he attempted to annihilate is alive he wanted to finish the job.

      I agree with this. I think the average quality of every film is around a 7-8/10. Obviously for things like child's play two, the final scene is amazing, but a lot of the first half is quite boring, so I believe that when specifically talking about the average, it's consistent.

I'm still yet to watch the 2nd and 3rd seasons of the TV series to complete the entire Chucky franchise. I got into it late because I was scared earlier and I thought almost everyone forgot about it, so I'm really happy to see this video!
