Examining the psychological toll Chucky’s reign of terror has on the youngsters ought to have occurred sooner, however Chucky Season 2 Episode 5 despatched the narrative in a transparent path.
If you watch Chucky on-line, you understand Jake, Lexy, and Devon have been going from one strain cooker surroundings to a different, and now that we’re seeing how they’re impacted, it makes the college setting extra intriguing.
They’re in an unforgiving surroundings, and peeling again on the broader mythology at play reveals there’s rather a lot to be enthusiastic about.
Lexy’s self-medicating with medicine and alcohol has been a trigger for concern, however with out having the ability to inform anybody past her mates what’s occurring, what extra can we count on her to do?
She’s been pushed to this point into this way of life that she does not see any approach out.
I respect that she has such shut mates, and whereas Nadine may develop into a villain, it is good to see Lexy make strides, akin to flushing the medicine down the bathroom.
My hope is that one of many dolls does not attempt to get her hooked on medicine once more as a result of that may be proper out of the killer doll playbook.
I wasn’t completely satisfied a reformed Chucky doll would assist transfer the narrative ahead however would have liked for the Good Chucky to stay round.
It’s arduous to consider, however the collection helped me (and the kids) sympathize with a killer doll. It’s a testomony to the writing for this specific iteration, nevertheless it additionally raises many questions on what’s on faucet on the faculty.
A doll-obsessed psychiatrist on Chucky Season 2 Episode 1 ought to have been a giveaway that sending the kids to a faculty for wayward youths was a part of the Colonel’s wider plan.
The ultimate scene was chilling as a result of the Colonel doll we have heard a lot about seems to be going all Frankenstein on useless or soon-to-be-dead our bodies.
Andy’s survival wasn’t stunning as a result of Kyle was killed off-screen after which introduced again, and so they come collectively at the most effective of occasions, so it was inevitable.
Devon and Lexy’s response to the occasions was priceless, nevertheless it makes me surprise what number of dolls there are on the planet and the place Colonel Chucky originated.
Now that they know who’s messing with them, they need to hopefully be capable to discover a approach to combat again.
Jake and Devon having their first large hurdle additionally wasn’t a lot of a shock.
Their relationship hasn’t been in the most effective place because the finish of Chucky Season 1, and it is clear they should tackle some deeply-rooted points.
Communication is vital to the success of any relationship, however there is a disconnect amongst them that is worsening with each episode.
Something tells me Jake and Devon can have a clear break-up by the top of the season until one thing modifications drastically, permitting them to proceed as a pair.
There is a lot to contemplate concerning the college plot as a result of it is arduous to not think about the youngsters being cut up up in the event that they survive their newest brush with the dolls.
Hulk Chucky’s combat with Good Chucky was dealt with very effectively and highlighted two individuals on very totally different sides of the spectrum.
It’s similar to Glen’s conundrum with Glenda. Glen knew Glenda had a imply streak however could not put their finger on it as a result of every part about their lives had been shrouded in secrecy.
In many respects, Glen assembly the Glen/Glenda doll was an awakening of murderous proportions.
It was a stroke of genius that Tiffany stored the Jennifer Tilly doll captive whereas making an attempt to maintain up this ruse that she’s the film star, and it is delivering A+ comedy and drama.
Jennifer Tilly has performed the position since 1998, and her efficiency is stronger than ever.
You can inform she’s having the time of her life, which might be why she retains returning to the franchise.
It will need to have been surreal to behave out murdering her sister, however the scene was pivotal to point out Glen who their mom actually is.
It’s arduous to inform the place Glen stands in all of this now. They appeared able to embrace these tendencies, however this present likes to subvert expectations.
“Doll On Doll” labored as a result of it included many of the key gamers. Nica and Glenda will probably be again earlier than lengthy, and I’m positive the ultimate three episodes of Chucky Season 2 will proceed at a powerful tempo.
The fantastic thing about this universe is which you can by no means inform what’s coming subsequent, however nevertheless this season ends, it is arduous not to consider it as the top of this important chapter.
What did you consider Glen’s murderous awakening?
Do you suppose they’re making an attempt to outsmart Tiffany?
What did you consider the actual Jennifer Tilly locked in a birdcage?
Do you suppose issues are coming to an finish for Jake and Devon?
