I can understand if you guys don't like the stitched look. I guess I am in the very rare minority where I like both looks.

And that's cool and fine by us, I mean his stitched look does look a little more "badass" but when trying to be scary, creepy, and innocent looking, it just doesn't do it for me.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with preferring his stitched look, and I'll admit... he is more iconic that way. I say that because it seems like he had more "background" popularity. Then Bride comes out and he was then boosted into mainstream status. It was like Bride elevated him because before that the merchandise was minimal, and pop culture referrences were rare. The general public recognizes him more in his stitched look. I think the older fans get jaded by it because it almost feels like everyone forgot where he came from or how he started. Still, it was that look that helped cement him in pop culture. So from a marketing standpoint... I can see where it is a wiser business decision to keep him in his stitched look. For story purposes, it is hard to make it scary when he looks upfront scary. |

The first 3 films were made when horror was beginning to stumble and Chucky's original look was very creepy and when Bride came,horror became cool again and Chucky needed a new look for a new generation and especially after what happened to him at the end of CP3. Parts 1-3 and Parts 4-6 represent not only different eras in the Child's Play franchise but different eras in horror as well. I grew up with the old-school Chucky but I love the new-school Chucky as well. But to each his own and everyone has their own preferences and opinions. |

I'm with the majority on this. It serves it's purpose in Bride, after the events of CP3 it was nice they carried his damage over and added some nice continuity to the story line. But that movie aside, it doesn't work for me. This has already been said, but it can't be emphasised enough that one of his defining features was to look innocent and blend in. The stitches don't give him that camouflage. Even in Curse, the way Barb peeled back his latex mask and was instantly appalled by what his stitches looked like goes to show this in a round about way.
I know stitched Chucky has his fans, and that's fair enough because a lot of fans, especially the younger ones were first introduced to him with that appearance. I went to see Bride at the cinema twice and both times I was blown away by how cool he looked at the time. But as the films progressed it sort of lost it's appeal to me.
Each to their own though eh?

Well said. It has it's place, but it just ain't for me.

I liked the peeled off skin look, like the best of both worlds to me.

When she was peeling it off though, it looked so bad. They should've been able to tell a mile away it had some latex bits all over it.
I might be nitpicking, but that bit of the film was poorly executed for me
