I love the dumbass chucky movies and I’m glad Brad is back voicing chucky.

It’s just so hard for me though to go yeah yeah a teen boy will have a doll. A gay teen, doesn’t have enough problems in society and so he will have a doll.

Yet I can shut off the disbelief and let said doll be a mass murdering fuck head lmao.

Still going to check it out. Hope it’s fun.

I work with LGBTQ+ teens and honestly a pretty large percentage of them probably would carry around a hideous doll at school. They bring all kinds of weird shit into the youth center.

I don’t know why I find this so oddly heartwarming and fascinating but there ya go.

Bless weirdness.

Glad they have a safer space for it and the rec center

He buys Chucky at a yard sale because he's making sculptures with doll parts, I think Chucky forces him to take him with him after he reveals he's alive.

I missed that in the trailer then. But like I said I’m gonna give it a go and see how it plays out.

It’s not really explained in the trailer, though we briefly see the sculpture when the kid goes into his bedroom, but Mancini mentioned it in an interview.
