Not being rated R is really not an issue. I’ve seen some pretty violent/gory stuff on SyFy (or Sci-Fi for those who prefer the old way).

The Chucky movies aren’t known to be gorefests anyway. At this point it’s about story.

I’m glad it’s on regular tv. I was concerned it’d be some streaming or premium channel exclusive.

It's not about gore. They can work around that. The thing is that Chucky has a hilariously potty mouth. And now that can't be a thing.

Oh that. Some shows allow cussing. Pretty much anything but the F word nowadays. Even that’s allowed in some cases I think.

Some programming gets uncensored reruns late at night.

If it's a show where Chucky can't say "you can't f*** with the Chuck" then don't bother.

Though I'm reasonably certain it is ending up at SyFy because the other ones didn't want it.

Wildcat

Ok I’m pretty sure you don’t seriously mean the whole show is pointless if he can’t use the F word or that phrase (which if I remember correctly was only ever said in part 3)

How do you know nobody else wanted it?

A show can be good without dropping the F bomb every 5 minutes. This is nitpicking just to do it.

As a guy who enjoyed the trilogy, i feel this franchise has gone down the crapper no thanks to Don Mancini who ran out of ideas after 3 as i felt the story in 3 ended the story well as Chucky died in the fan and the other 4 films after that is a spin-off of Chucky and i don't like Tiffany and Glenn as with the last 4 films, they have dislikable characters with no personality or charisma (unlike the first 3 which had likable characters), poor writing (CP 3 has faults but better written than Bride/Seed/Curse/Cult as CP 2 has a well written script as i feel CP 2 is better than the first film) with Chucky saying dumbass lines like "Compressed? do you know what i think that means", unfunny attempts at humor, horrible CGI in Curse/Cult, that chili scene in Curse which me and my youtube friends Ramboraph4life and Ocpcommunications (if anyone seen their rant on the film) loath and don't get me started on the "teasing us on what should had been the movie" ending in Curse where it has Andy about to blow Chucky's head off with a gun to all the way to all the way to the stupid cheatcode thing especially Chucky being in his daughter's body at the end of Cult to all that.

I mean i felt this franchise has been dead for a long time after 3 as Bride was the beginning of the end of the franchise, Seed i paid to see in theaters and MY GOD it was a horrible crappy mess no thanks to an amateur hack director like Don Mancini as he really killed this franchise even with the last two with his horrible lazy writing and lazy direction. I feel he is to the franchise, what Kathleen Kennedy is to Star Wars, both need to go.

But a TV show and a remake? stop beating this long dead zombiefied horse and shoot it in the head so it can rest in peace. I mean, it's time to let this franchise die and rest in peace already and do new horror icons/franchises.

No, not nitpicking. This is Chucky. He says it every other line.

4 was fun, even if it doesn't hold up particularly well now. 1-3 still play great. 5 was one of the worst movies ever made. 6 was surprisingly good, legit scary like the first one. 7 (the latest) isn't bad but has a lot going on.

Andrew, you simply can't reason with people who think that "different" and "good" can peacefully co-exist.

You and I get it. That's about all we can hope for.

Wildcat

01-30-2019, 11:56 PM

I agree Seed was the worst of the series. It was ok as a parody, which Don Mancini has said he really likes using satire. That’s why he went harder in that direction.

I don’t mind it being part of the canon though. Glen and Glenda are supposed to be in this. He mentioned them regarding the tv show.

I really don’t mind if they must tone down the cussing. I don’t see it being much more limited. Except for maybe the F word.

I doubt it lasting very long. Don obviously wants to do multiple storylines which is cool but after thier done it’s bound to go back to movies. Unless it’s really successful and SyFy wants to keep going.

Or, it's because I understand why they won't be saying f*ck every other line. There are plenty of horror shows/movies that don't do that and are successful.

Well, with Chucky I absolutely draw a firm line. It's Chucky. "B-b-b-but some horror shows get away with no F bombs!" No, f*** that, that's those shows. Again, this is Chucky. This is what he does. It's his whole shtick and has been for 30 years.

An update after 2 years:

https://www.darkhorizons.com/chucky-series-sets-its-cast/

They better still have Andy and his foster sister from Child's Play 2... that's how the last one ended, with them about to really kick ass.

Also...

"Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies and allies from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll’s untold origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster."

Huh? We already know enough about Charles Lee Ray. "A seemingly ordinary child"? What are they talking about? Was there something particularly important about his childhood we don't know about? He was a criminal who knew a bit of voodoo... that seemed like enough.

Wildcat

03-06-2021, 11:08 PM

I was hoping Fiona Dourif would be in it too. She/Charles rejoined Tiffany.

I’m sure Chucky’s childhood can be more interesting than we know. Why did he get into voodoo?

We don’t really know what their relationship was like or why he got interested in voodoo in the first place. He used it for evil purposes and that’s basically it.

Yeah, but like.... do we really care? Like do we really give a **** in the grand scheme of things?

Sometimes 'murderous lowlife trained with some dude to learn voodoo' is enough, especially when we care more about him as a killer doll than when he was human.

It feels like every last thing in anything needs to be explained anymore. I'm surprised there isn't some Star Wars series or whatever dealing with how the Jedi and the Force ever came to be, cause you know... we have to know the story behind everything. Every last detail.

Wildcat

03-07-2021, 12:20 AM

This franchise has gone this long without a continuity reboot and has reintroduced people from his past. It makes sense to give him more backstory when his life as a doll gets deeper. Plus he’s the main character.

Andrew NDB

04-08-2021, 05:04 AM

Ahhhhh, excellent news! They are living up to the promise the ending of the last movie dangled. Everybody's back. Andy. The foster sister from 2. Dourif's daughter from the last couple.

It depends how many dolls there are out there with his split soul. It could work but might be confusing for those that don’t consistently follow the series.

I could see a movie that takes place with a new kid and no ties to his past or old characters. Just a stand-alone movie in the same world.

I had a great idea they could have done with the 2019 remake instead...put it in the same universe and brand Buddi a toy revival of the Good Guy. Keep the movie the same (change character names, can’t be duplicates) so we get 2 different killer Good Guys...supernatural Chucky vs A.I. Buddi.

That'd mean it's a shared universe, which really wouldn't work for the Child's Play remake. For one, that'd mean that everyone would know about the events of Child's Play 1-7 when nobody did in the remake. Nobody is going to build a new generation of Chucky dolls after those.

Also, the Buddi version of Chucky was a one off thing. A computer glitch. There wouldn't be like a shared consciousness that inhabits another Buddi doll.

It’s too late now anyway but why wouldn’t they revive the Good Guy? That was how Part 3 happened. They restarted production and ignored Andy’s story. Which was more recent within the movie world.

It is far fetched they’d revive a toy linked to even more ongoing killings but maybe in movie-logic.

I was thinking about the other dolls. We can assume most are from online sellers but Cult mentions Hot Topic. If a retail store sells them...are they also out of production? Who’s supplying Hot Topic with working condition Good Guys?

I know it’s half meant to be a joke but I don’t know if they thought it through.

As for the remake it’s very likely Buddi copied/transferred himself into another doll. His whole power was wireless connectivity and hacking devices. They show another one with red eyes at the very end.

True... though the fact that they ignored Andy's story (and it wasn't JUST Andy's story, think about that whole family in 2 and the teacher and such) and went back into production willy nilly in 3 (and then after 3 all the press about everyone talking about a Chucky doll massacring a whole boot camp?)... do you think that makes it more or less likely that they would try it again a third time? There's no way.

It's kind of like the Jurassic Park/World thing. That they'd reopen the park years later and just slightly change the name was pretty unlikely (like, who on earth is going to insure that park?)... OK, fine. But would they reopen it AGAIN?

Eh. I guess so. I just don't think anyone's particularly chomping at the bit to see that.

I guess it'd be kind of neat if in a future Chucky movie or episode we get, like, the equivalent of Godzilla swatting away/killing "Zilla," in a 20 second scene.

Not bad, look forward to catching the next and actually having more interaction, less of the lifeless doll act, and getting a better feel for it then.

So the little sister of the high school b*tch quite enjoyed her sister being shamed on stage...though her mother staring at her from the next seat felt awkward, like she was rather enjoying that her younger daughter was enjoying it, which is kinda unsettling.

Looks like the kid that was with Chucky in some of the ads, so if anyone really does buy him I'm guessing it's that woman.

The Deadman

Apparently this season is only 8 episodes, and

Glen/Glenda was referenced in episode 2

IndigoErth

10-20-2021, 03:58 PM

Only 8? Even shorter than I feared it might be.

Second ep wasn't bad, I liked that there is more interaction now with the main kid and Chucky. At the moment, more or less one of those shows that I could take it or leave it, so not spectacular, but it's a decent enough watch so far.

The dynamic of that family of that awful girl confuses me though. She behaves like someone who was the spoiled brat favorite, yet the mother seems to favor the younger one...who otherwise seems ignored and doesn't really interact with her family much.
Is the younger one going to turn into a killer though?

Liked the scene of her and Chucky playing video games. Though it seems like Chucky has sort of calmed down and become more choosy about who he murders... Possibly preferring to maybe guide a next generation of killers?

In the bedroom of the boy who "owns" him, when Chucky was prompting him to man up and kill someone, I was sort of hoping the kid would inform Chucky of the fact that it's easy for him so say, given that no one is going to put a doll in prison.

The Deadman

I think it’s been really good. I like the characters. I find their lives interesting and Chucky is the same. I love seeing the flashbacks of how Charles Lee Ray grew up and met old characters.

How is it cheap? It’s definitely better than Cult. I liked Cult but the effects clearly took a hit. It’s the only one I feel was noticeably DTV.

I’ve seen mostly positive feedback but also some complaints about the characters and it taking too long for Andy and Kyle to show up.

If that’s all you want to see you’re not going to enjoy it. The new characters matter too. They’re now part of Chucky’s on going legend.

Look at Chucky killing the kid in the 4th episode. That's easily the most embarrassing looking Chucky killing in the whole franchise. I don't know if they had a puppeteering problem or what, but when he's stabbing the kid on the 2nd floor in what looks like slow motion... truly awful stuff.

Wildcat

11-15-2021, 10:32 PM

I guess it all depends on whenever they make another movie and choose to either acknowledge or ignore the tv show.I extremely doubt Don Mancini will ignore any part at this point. It’s become a “how long can this keep going?” kind of thing. Especially after the remake that he was not happy about.

It’s not that deep and is to the side of the body. If this is what you mean. It’s not on camera very long. The slow motion is intentional.

There are moments Chucky seems a bit “puppet-y” and hollow. Like not 100% convincing (compared to the theatrical movies) but it’s not a big deal imo. The behind the scenes show he’s literally a puppet attached to rods that people move so that’s why it comes off this way.

Andy and Kyle finally showed up on Episode 6. Overall a good episode but...

I’m confused about the Charlie doll. It’s hand is melted so it’s the one from Cult but he ended up in South Carolina? They said the mental hospital was in Rhode Island. It’s like 5 states over.

It’s the one that possessed Nica or split himself since it was alive but how would Andy and Kyle even know to track him there? Suspicious deaths in the news?

I hope it was not just a joke because it’s a city called Charleston. I’m starting to think it was.

Wow so this tv show references pretty much all the movies? Are the movies worth watching taking into account I'm not huge into horror? I don't mind horror movies but they need to have a little more substance than just jump scares and gore for me to be entertained.

I pretty much finished off Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky after watching this tv series. Even if you don’t watch the movies prior, the story is still pretty easy to follow mostly.

I had this idea I think fits perfectly for the tv series...have Chucky possess a different doll.

It’d be cool to see another doll turn evil but that’s still Chucky inside and since he can split his soul and switch it gives the ability to play around with a new/different look without actually replacing the Good Guy.

Season finale was great. It really brought everything together.

My above idea is apparently not possible but it’s a good explanation.

He can only split into or possess matching objects/vessels. Basically he’s tied to what Prime Chucky was.

Also I really liked what the flashback revealed. Gonna remember that now.

Only 1 surprise imo but what happened to Nica made me sad for her character.

Andrew NDB

12-01-2021, 01:26 AM

I have to admit... the quality of the show greatly improved from 6 to the end of the season in 8, and not just because Andy and Kyle showed up (though it certainly didn't hurt).

Also, it's not too hard to imagine what Chucky 8 would have looked like as a movie if the pilot for this had been rejected. The first 5 episodes compressed to about 20 minutes and the last 3 episodes compressed into the rest, basically. With less characters, really, and that would've made for a sound film. Probably even with the same cliffhanger from the season finale.

Wildcat

12-01-2021, 02:50 AM

Season 2 should bring back Karen and Mike Norris.

I’ve seen some people say they’d like to see De Silva and Tyler return. I wouldn’t mind seeing them but Andy’s mom and Mike make perfect sense.

They’re both acknowledged in Curse over the phone. So they stayed friends or maybe got into a relationship. I’ve seen some suggest that.

I just remembered this. Obviously fake. Must have been this guy’s fanfic but sounded pretty cool.

Meg Tilly joining her sister is cool.

Was never into Bound the way others are it seems. It’s really not that graphic from what I remember. There’s better movies if you want to see them in revealing scenes.

Again I really hope they get Catherine Hicks and Chris Sarandon.

Wasn’t aware of this.

The studio wanted to own Chucky? Like his personal puppet and animatronics I guess.

Man, I tried to catch "Bound" whenever it was on cable back in the day. :lol: Tilly and Gershon finger-banging was plenty for me back then, even though no, it's actually not all that graphic. Still. I had it baaaad for Gina Gershon back then. Like SO bad.

She was amazing at the Denis Leary roast. "Look, Denis! Your ultimate fantasy: F*ckable Cigarettes!" :lol:

Also, that was my introduction to Joe Pantoliano, who's always cool. Well, actually, I'd of course seen La Bamba, but not in a long time, and so "Bound" was the first time I'd seen and noticed him to the point where the next time I saw him anything it was like, "Oh, cool, That Guy."

Andrew NDB

06-17-2022, 01:57 AM

I'd totally forgotten Pantoliano was in it. He wasn't on my radar until Matrix, and then "Memento." Then I went back and realized he was an evil doctor even in the Highlander TV series, too.

I highly doubt it at this point, at least for the former. Didn't Hicks disown the franchise? I think the best time to have had her as Andy's mom in it was in the end credits of Cult of Chucky instead of Kyle.

I'm okay with Andy's mom never appearing, and just being mentioned. I actually have more of an interest in seeing the couple from Bride of Chucky, just out of curiosity of what became of them since we know Andy's mom married Mike, and is okay now. Or maybe seeing Glen again.

Andrew NDB

06-17-2022, 12:56 PM

Glen is an inevitability, for sure. Though they kind of left that in a very murky place (he was split into Glen and Glenda, into human twins?) that they've got to come out of.

I don't remember clearly, but I believe Jennifer Tilly/Tiffany births the twins in the far future, right? But then again, 2022 would probably be beyond that far future scenario anyway. I wouldn't mind seeing them older or something like that. Or just having them somehow inhabit Glen's puppet body.

Wildcat

06-17-2022, 11:04 PM

Catherine Hicks disowned the franchise? She retired from acting but I think it’s possible she’d agree if it’s just a few episodes. They don’t need to be action scenes.

It’s basically confirmed Glen and Glenda are returning. There was a casting leak that literally stated it. Just google it. It’s really easy to find.

I don't know, but here's an interview Alex Vincent himself did with her 3 years ago:

I haven't listened to it but the answer is probably in it.

Wildcat

It’s never brought up if she would return. She’s retired but it’s not mentioned if she’d be willing to do any acting again.

She said she’s always preferred movies over tv but this is part of the movie franchise so I don’t think that specifically would be the problem.

She’s stayed friends with Alex Vincent and likes doing more emotional/dramatic scenes. Of course they’d probably have her interact with Chucky but I mean she’d be playing his mom again.

It'd be a pretty dark place go to kill the human kid versions of Glen and Glenda to reanimate the Glen doll... but surely they'll do something. Or maybe they make more Glen dolls the same way Chucky splits his soul into other Chuckys. Clearly something happened to where Tiffany in Jennifer Tilly isn't playing house with the kids anymore that we don't know about.

Eh. It was alright.

It does a lot of good in giving us a whole new setting and cast of characters but kinda fumbles when it later has to deal with all the loose ends and continuity from the movies. But when it’s just doing it’s own thing, i think it gives us some of the best moments and plot elements from the series. Such as how Chucky tries corrupting the protagonist, or when Chucky frames his pushing the mother out the window as a suicide and all the men of the family lash out. blaming each other for it. Or when he starts mocking Logan, still using his doll voice.

BUT WAIT! DIDNT YOU WANNA KNOW HOW CHUCKY GOT HIS FIRST CAR? :lol:

Yeah, there's plenty of investigation. I didn't super care for season 1 but I have to admit, I loved just about all of season 2. It just goes so crazy, and fully delivers on the promise of all of this continuing from the movies.

Wildcat

09-02-2023, 11:32 PM

I’m curious if this is the last season before going back to the movies. They might do a soft reboot since anyone who didn’t watch the show would be confused.

Everything is in continuity but it basically goes back to a straight forward storyline. I know it’s established he doesn’t care about becoming human. He’s already accomplished that with Alice from Curse.

I’d like to see something like Part 2/Curse again. A home setting where Chucky “haunts” a house. He could go after any legacy character that didn’t appear in the show...Karen, Mike, Tyler, De Silva, Jesse and Jade...then Jake, Lexy and Devon will be legacy characters and they can have their own movies.

Either that or a crossover with M3gan. :D

The Deadman

10-13-2023, 02:32 PM

Nah, Chucky's ultimate goal was to always leave the body of the doll. Being able to half project his soul into the little girl while also still being in the doll body doesnt really count. If they wouldnt have gone with essentially killing off Nica, it would hae made more sense. That being said, I just started the 3rd season, I hope its better than last season.

Andrew NDB

No it wasn't. Wasn't it like around Seed of Chucky that Chucky literally said, "I've spent so much time trying to be human again. You know what? F*** it! I like being a doll!"

Wildcat

10-13-2023, 11:15 PM

Ya in Seed he said he likes being a doll. If he only cared about being human he could and would have stopped after taking over Alice or Nica.

They could have just walked away from things after Cult and never bothered to form a Good Guy army. Just live life as humans and at some point take over a man’s body whenever they wanted.

The last doll left at the mental hospital could just continue to mess with Andy or something. He could literally have been both.

Too bad there’s only gonna be 4 episodes of S3 for now because production stopped with the strike.

in the 3rd episode he

tries to move his soul into the little girl he kidnapped but stopped when she woke up

Coola Yagami

It's interesting. Move your soul to a doll to escape police. Try to move your body to a human before your doll-self becomes fully human. Fail and die and come back multiple times. Realize that the only way you managed to cheat death so many times is because you are a possessed doll that can always be rebuilt.

Say 'guess I'll stay as a possessed doll then'.

Wildcat

10-20-2023, 04:01 AM

I am enjoying the show but I have to be honest it gets too silly sometimes.

He went to the doctor for turning human. I think the doctor was someone who deals with weird cases because he says he knows him and the guy in the waiting room said his wife was in the box. Needing help from some kind of paranormal doctor is fine but portraying it as a typical doctors office is too silly.

Also it’s a big plot hole. It’s safe to assume he’s always at risk for turning human if he spends too much time as a doll even though it hasn’t been a plot point for awhile. Let’s just say it wasn’t a problem because he split his soul or something...but it’s not because he was involved in another religion.

I like the idea that he needs to be forgiven by Damballa for some reason but this never had anything to do with turning human. I know there’s been other inconsistencies but this is a big one when overall they’ve done a good job keeping up continuity.

Wildcat

Yeah, they gave up on that a looooong time ago.Ya but I think we can assume it was still possible. They brought it back now.

I was thinking I suppose there could be more than 1 reason it can happen. He did try the chant on Caroline before she woke up so transferring his soul to a human was still acknowledged as the standard solution.

Still she said I read the whole book which is how she knew he needed a doctor but that implies she was not aware it was a side effect of a different religion. So Voodoo for Dummies only suggests seeing a doctor (of the paranormal)?

Even if she wanted to lie so he couldn’t possess her...the chant didn’t work right? Unless they do another twist and say she interrupted it and it’s still an option.

What?! I was reading it was doing a killing in ratings. ESPECIALLY this season.

I didn't watch season 3 but heard it had some problems, some related to the strike.

Nothing too crazy. They did like the first 5 episodes before the strike, released them, then filmed the other 5 after the strike ended and put out the second half of the season later.

there could be a chance season 4 gets picked up on shudder or something? you never know.

I think before season 3 was greenlit Mancini was saying that if the show wasn't picked back up, he'd make another movie instead. I'm sure that will (eventually) become the plan again.

That's a hell of a cliffhanger the show ended on. All the good guys were turned into dolls, basically, held captive by the designer of the Chucky doll. And there never was any meaningful resolution of the Andy and Kyle storyline.
