Been watching the Child's Play/Chucky series all week. Watched Seed earlier only because that's the only way I could watch the ENTIRE series. But talk about jumping the fucking shark! Every bit as cringy as I remember. I think the problem began when someone decided a movie about Chucky's kid had to happen and was the logical next step. I suppose there was really no way to do this without going full on Gremlins 2 not giving a fuck.
I wasn't totally against the more horror comedy direction taken in Bride as the series needed something to breath new life into it after a pretty weak 3rd installment, but shit like Chucky jerkin' it to Fangoria and later on causing Britney Spears to have a wreck and saying "oops, I did it again" was pretty brutal, especially if one prefers the straight horror of the first 3. And the whole idea of a movie being made after the events of Bride, with Jennifer Tilly doing the voice of Tiffany, not to mention the dolls used in this movie so easily being brought to life, is a bit hard to swalllow and just makes a joke out of everything that came before it.
Never mind Chucky and Tiffany not being sore at each other after how things ended. Literally no acknowledgement of the little bit of seriousness from Bride. It's one thing to piss all over the continuity and tone of the first 3, but now we're disregarding plot points from Bride and taking it all several steps further and removing the little bit of traditional horror elements left in that one. Having it set in Hollywood, having celebrities play themselves, not only having Chucky share the spotlight, but actually takng a backseat to Glenn/Glenda. I'm surprised the series didn't die with this one. However, watching them wedge Seed's batshit continuity into the tv show was pretty funny.
Thoughts on this series? Big fan of it, myself. Seed pisses me off though.

I think I could stand to binge this entire series before season 2 comes to Peacock. I should probably buy that dvd set. I don't own any of these damn movies.
