Mostlypencils - I Like Too Many Things

okay so I watched the new episode. Season three spoilers!

As someone who’s been a huge fan of Chucky as a franchise for years now: the franchise is dying. I’ve been thinking it since the beginning of season three but this is what happens when a franchise goes on too long.

Season 1 and season 2 have something that season 3 lacks: likable supporting characters. Jake, Devon and Lexy are interesting on their own, but the supporting characters really make or break a tv series. In season one, we had the whole plot line with Junior and we had more of Miss Fairchild (I’m in mourning). Season 2, we had NADINE (NADINE ❤️❤️❤️) and we also had pretty interesting antagonists other than Chucky and Tiffany. Grant and Henry, I just can’t connect with very well. I sympathize with Grant, but I cannot stand Henry. Andy figured out this thing wasn’t an Angel sent by his dad in like a week. Why hasn’t Henry figured it out yet? It’s infuriating. The guy who’s always talking to the First Lady really is just pissing me off with his passiveness- it doesn’t help that we never see him in action. He reminds me of Mike Norris if he was uninteresting.

In seasons one and two, I was at least engaged with what was happening. I was following the stories because they were intriguing. I liked the characters and what they were doing. I just don’t feel the same way about season 3. This entire time I’ve been waiting for Tiffany, Nica or Andy and Kyle to show up (because they will eventually if we follow the formula).

I think my other issue with this season is the setting. The White House is kind of boring now since we see more of conversations than Chucky dicking around in the White House, other than that Devon Sawa kill (ranked number 3 now, that was pretty cool).

All of this being said- I still love this franchise and I’m so thankful we even got a television show. There are strong parts of season 3- Jake, Devon and Lexy actually have a strong bond now. Trauma bond, yeah, but they stand by each other and want to help each other achieve their goals. Jake and Devon are my favorite part of this season by far. There’s been some flack online about having those two have a storyline revolving around having sex, but they’re what? 16? 17? In this story? They’re curious, they’re teenagers.

Another part I like is everything with Tiffany. Literally all of it. I’m also enjoying Nica’s storyline, if it would go back to that. This season has a lot of cool settings that I wish were handled better, because Chucky in the White House is hilarious and interesting if it was done right.

For the short time we had her, Miss Fairchild was a highlight. She was hilarious and meaningful and I wish she hadn’t been killed off so early.

But these are just my thoughts- feel share to message me or comment here for discussions on it (please I need someone to talk to about Chucky)

stills from the new school spirits episode from the official instagram, this scene was amazinggg

I’ve been thinking some more on possible parallels for Andy’s scene. The being tied to a bed with Chucky over him is a big one from Child’s Play 2. I think Kyle will come in and save him, just like with the original film.

A possibility in my mind for who he could be texting is Kristin DaSilva from Child’s Play 3. Maybe his mother? Kyle? Nica?

It’s been established that Andy has no girlfriend or friends (though I can hope for something to blossom between Nica and Andy). I find it super hard to believe he hasn’t seen the news with Chucky. I also find it hard to believe that Nica, Kyle and Karen haven’t seen it either. Even if they are hobbits (with bad habits /ref) would none of them feel the PTSD?

Something is off about Andy’s scene with chucky. I just KNOW it’s going to be the thing I’m thinking about until it happens.

I don’t think he’ll be possessed. It’s not possible. The only two he could inhabit by the rules established in Child’s Play are Caroline and Henry. I don’t think Miss. Fairchild will be possessed either, I think she’s alive, but I’ve completely covered that in previous posts.

so,, uh, i saw this...

posting for the first time since st4 vol2 came out 🤩🤩 now with an obnoxious amount of emojis so let’s go!!! Sad things I’ve noticed about the chucky series:

Andy has cried maybe two times in the 34 years we’ve known him. He’s 40, the only times we’ve seen him cry was once while he was six and another time when he was 40 years old over his older sister being presumed dead 🤩

2. Kyle never stopped searching for Andy because she couldn’t give up hope that he was alive. If she did that meant he was gone, but she wasnt

3. Nadine showed up to Lexy because Lexy was likely hallucinating due to the pills. Since Nadine had that talk with Lexy, it makes sense she’s the one who Lexy hallucinates.

4. Jake and Devon are that couple that’s only together because of their trauma. If not who knows of either would have had the balls to ask each other out.

5. CHRISTMAS EPISODE!! Except Chuckys back… somehow?

6. Kyle and Andy are likely not going to be returning to the franchise. They had a very finale-esque ending.

7. however, if they do return, one of them may die. Strap in your seatbelts.

I keep seeing those “what ifs” on TikTok and it’s peeving me that every single one for Rhonda is something SHE needed to change. “What if she never got into Berkeley?” “What if she never went to his office that day?”

How about what if Mr. Manfredo wasn’t a predator 😭😭 how about what if he didn’t strangle her for not returning his feelings??? We JUST learned that her classmates blamed her for her death we should not be doing the same

I was watching a video of Patti Lupone with my friend when I made the comment that Patti Lupone sounds like a gay man and my friend argued that gay men sound like Patti Lupone and I can't believe I DIDNT come up with that
