6Halloween Kills Sidelined Laurie Strode
Just likeHalloween II , Halloween Killspicks up where its herald terminate , but it also repeated one ofHalloween II ’s big error . Atthe end ofHalloween2018 , Laurie ’s combat against Michael Myers leave her severely bruise as he stabbed her , so after being rescued by a hand truck machine driver ( along with Karen and Allyson ) , she was taken to the infirmary while the firefighters deal with the fervidness at her house … and were kill by Michael Myers , who pull through the fire and explosion . Laurie make it but had to remain at the infirmary due to her lesion , keeping her away from the action , while Allyson take the lead and go after Michael alongside her x - boyfriend Cameron and his father , Lonnie Elam , a subsister of Michael ’s 1978 killing spree .
Halloween IImade the same mistake by keeping Laurie at the hospital , with Michael kill everyone who support in his way , and only saw her jump into natural action until the third act of the flick . Halloween Killsmade this risky by not have Laurie actively participate at all , instead staying at the hospital with Hawkins , who was dig in the late moving picture , with whom he talked about what she believe Michael Myers truly was . While it made sense as Laurie had been wounded and needed medical handling , sidelining the franchise ’s Final Girl and main graphic symbol was a big misunderstanding forHalloween Kills , even regretful than whenHalloween IIdid it .
5Halloween Kills Focused Too Much On Minor Characters
With Laurie at the hospital , Halloween Killsinstead focus on secondary and small reference that , ultimately , did n’t do much honest to the story . While Allyson was pass the time and aid to become a lead character , which continue inHalloween closing , the rest of the characters terminate up being irrelevant , and most of them did n’t even exist the movie . Along with Allyson were Cameron and Lonnie , who faced Michael at the Myers ’ home , with the latter two join the list of Michael ’s dupe . Meanwhile , Tommy Doyle , Lindsey Wallace , Marion Chambers , and other Haddonfield residents constitute a mob to go after Michael , but it did n’t turn out well as their collective anger and hunger for retaliation led to the death of an innocent patient from Smith ’s Grove . The rabble came close to killing Michael Myers when Karen unmasked him and lead him into the angry mob , who proceeded to beat , kick , stab , and even shoot The Shape … but Michael , somehow , last , got back up , and kill the whole Haddonfield mob , so everything they had done was in vain .
4Halloween Kills Failed To Explain Why Michael Wanted To Go Home
Tommy , Allyson , Lonnie , and Cameron represent out Michael ’s itinerary and the localization of his victim and deduce that he was head toward his childhood home , and they were right . Michael killed the current proprietor of his family home and delay there , where he was later confront by Allyson , Lonnie , and Cameron , and it was even mentioned that , since he was a kid , he had a affair for look out of the window of his sister ’s room . Halloween Killsmade the Myers house an important setting but never really explain why , only that Michael wanted to go back home and stare through the windowpane in Judith ’s elbow room ( again ) . In the end , the “ he just wants to go home ” part of Michael Myers ’ plot line inHalloween Killswas only used to vote out Cameron , Lonnie , and bring Michael to the raging Haddonfield mob , only for Michael to kill them all , with the icing on a very bloody bar being Michael vote down Karen in Judith ’s room . Halloween Endscompletely leave about this part of Michael ’s account , and an Easter ball even revealed that the Myers household was demolished at one distributor point between Carpenter ’s movie and the reboot .
3Michael Myers Killed Laurie’s Daughter
One of the most criticized moment fromHalloween Killswas the final kill : Karen , Laurie ’s girl . Karen expend most ofHalloween2018 seek to keep Laurie away from her family as she was timeworn of her mother ’s obsession with Michael Myers , which she had to deal with her whole life . Karen at last believe her and put her preparation to good manipulation once she image Michael Myers resist in front of her , and from that moment on , she did everything she could to keep Allyson , Laurie , and herself dependable from The Boogeyman . Karen save Allyson from being kill by Michael , unmasked him , led him into the mob , and shot him in the head , after which she thought he was dead , but Michael last . As Michael killed the Haddonfield mob , Karen reunited with Allyson on the porch of the Myers ’ family , and she later hold out upstairs to Judith ’s bedroom , where she was surprised by a very alive Michael Myers , who killed her .
There were hypothesis and a lot of promise for Karen survive her skirmish with Michael Myers atthe ending ofHalloween Kills , but Karen was support to have break down inHalloween Ends . There was no point in kill Karen except to tally more disaster to Laurie ’s biography , as this going did n’t even serve as motivation for Laurie and Karen to catch and kill Michael inHalloween Ends , and Karen was just mentioned a couple of multiplication . Karen did n’t even get to mend her relationship with Laurie and she did n’t get a chance to fight back when Michael attacked her , so her death was n’t just unneeded , but it was also unfair .
2Halloween Kills Made Michael Myers Supernatural
Karen ’s expiry was controversial and so was Laurie being sidelined for the entire movie , but the biggest misapprehension ( and complaint ) ofHalloween Killswasmaking Michael Myers supernatural again , for no cause and without explanation . As note above , Michael Myers somehow survived being prod , beaten , kicked , and shot by Karen and the Haddonfield mob , and he start back up again without a problem to keep his kill spree . The only account at the time ofHalloween Kills ’ release was that Michael Myers was supernatural ( again ) , such as in the notorious Cult of Thorn storyline inHalloween : The Curse of Michael Myers , but the reason why and the origin of Michael ’s immortality were never research . Halloween Endsdidn’t solve this enigma either , and even worsened , it showed that Michael was n’t immortal at all , as Laurie and Allyson in conclusion killed him and afterwards threw Michael ’s soundbox into an industrial shredder .
1Halloween Ends Forgot About Half Of Halloween Kills
Halloween Killsleft a bunch of unrequited interrogation and loose end that , unfortunately , Halloween Endsfailed to answer , and thus it ended up forgetting about half of the events ofHalloween Kills . The above - mentioned “ Michael wants to go home ” storyline , Michael staring out Judith ’s window , and his sudden immortality were completely forgotten inHalloween Ends , as were the deaths of Karen and legacy characters Tommy Doyle and Sheriff Brackett , which did no justice to these characters who , in the end , die fend for Haddonfield . Halloween Killsleft a mess thatHalloween Endscouldn’t fix , and it did more harm than good to the reboot timeline by giving the trilogy an inconsistent look and quality .
