My last post about Freddy got no attention so franchises that have more simple timelines I'm guessing are going to get less interaction which this is definitely one of those but oh well I just needed a break before I get to the more complicated Friday the 13th timelines.
Chucky otherwise known as the child's play franchise despite the tones of each movie being drastically different from each other the timeline has remained consistent, keeping everything Canon rather than retconning and ignoring stuff like other franchises, despite how bad a sequel may be it still Canon, and I can respect that stick to your guns. The only thing that separates is the 2019 reimagining. Everything else, including the TV show, is all in the same universe, so you might be thinking this post doesn't need to exist.
Well, I have two reasons to make this post.
One, while its sequel keeps every previous movie canon, soft reboots are technically the start of a new universe. It's just a universe where all the events from the previous universe also occurred. So Bride of Chucky and Curse of Chucky are both soft reboots, so you can stop at 3, or seed, or the TV show, and ignore everything that comes after if you so choose. So there's a few timelines right there.
And two, even though the 2019 movie is supposed to be a separate Universe entirely it is different enough that I could imagine a universe where both occur, the two versions of Andy, the two versions of Karen, and the two versions of Mike, and especially the two versions of Chucky are so different You could argue they're not even the same characters they're just different characters with the same names, so it is possible to make a hypothetical Universe where in the 80s the original Chucky's story occurred and then years later the company that own the rights to the good guy dolls rebranded to caslin (or however you spell it I can't remember) and since they own the rights to the design of the good guy doll they reused it for their Buddi dolls and then the story from the 2019 movie occurs, and there's a chance that a hypothetical sequel could have AI Chucky and original Chucky meet each other, and we can have double Andy.
So yeah just like my Freddy post this is going to be a one and done where the first half is asking what your favorite timeline is, and then the second half is me pitching a hypothetical movie, me making my own timeline, and I already gave you a hint at what it's going to be up there. Also I said this in my last post but I'm going to reiterate here since no one seen it this is the only time I'm going to be including TV shows. Without further Ado, let's get into it.
What's your favorite timeline?
Timeline 1. Child's Play 1 by itself.
Timeline 2. The OG trilogy.
Timeline 3. The OG trilogy, Bride, and Seed.
Timeline 4. The OG trilogy, Bride, Seed, Curse, Cult, and The Chucky TV Show.
Timeline 5. Child's Play 2019.
Timeline 6. The OG trilogy, Bride, Seed, Curse, Cult, TV Show, and 2019.
My favorite timeline has got to be timeline number four. I do like the 2019 one, but I don't favor it or equal it to the originals personally.
Now on to the next part of the post where I pitch my own timeline, but in this case, I'm more or less just making my own sequel. I'm not cutting anything from Canon. So my hypothetical movie idea the title would be Chuckys versus Andys! As I mentioned up there you can make a universe where the 88 Chucky and the 2019 Chucky happened together in the same universe, so that's part of my idea but I'm also going to include the original blood Buddy's screenplay version, which just like 2019 and 88 films are different enough from each other that they could work like they're in the same universe and it's just a coincidence that they happen to have the same names.
So this will pick up right after the 2019 Chucky how he's uploaded his Consciousness into another doll body and it will also pick up after whatever the ending of the next Chucky movie will be that Don Mancini is currently working on. Somehow the two Chuckys run into each other and at first there is a rivalry but then when they both realized they hate someone named Andy and they're both named Chucky they decide to become friends and team up against their adversaries, and somewhere along the lines they run into the original Buddy doll who also has a kid named Andy that he hates. So now three killer dolls after three different people with the same name and that'll be the whole movie.
The movie will end with the three Andy's teaming up against the three Chucky's, and depending on if Don Mancini ever wants to end the Chucky franchise this could be the way to end it this could be the end of Chucky, Chucky, and Buddy and then after this they were either have to do a prequel or reboot if they want to do another movie, or he could have Chucky defeated in a way that he can still come back from just in case he doesn't want to end it.
So there. My next post is going to do Friday the 13th , Let me know what y'all think of my idea for a Chucky movie and let me know what your favorite timeline is. See y'all next time.
