Killer and survivor teaming up to screw over other players.
-
They said in the last Q&A that they are working on giving him a buff right now. Wait for that to happen.
-
Freddy for obvious reasons.
Ghostface because of his broken reveal mechanic giving him free insta downs.
Legion because of all the mending tedium.
-
No I find him pretty boring to face.
Huntress is where its at for a fun long range killer game.
-
Only for toxic behavior. No need for it and I will punish it.
-
Well done.
I got the last trophy I needed a couple of weeks ago. That pain in the butt Skilled Huntress one. As us console players know you have to get 100 downs from 24 meters away with the hatchets for that. PC only need 20. So that was a chore and a half to get. Especially since I rarely play Huntress.
-
Not really. Just because someone had money to buy a cosmetic doesn't automatically equate to extreme skill or toxic behavior.
-
Just tunnel off hook, wait for the inevitable jump into a locker, then eat the DS. That's what I did.
-
Only certain killers like Myers. He is my main when I do play killer and I have a blast with him.
-
More of Myers and Huntress.
Less of Freddy, Doc, and Ghostface.
-
Getting corn maps when playing Myers.
-
They did say on the Q&A today that they are working on a Clown buff.
-
Definitely the killer ones.
-
Hawkins, Shelter Woods, and Azarov's Resting Place as survivor.
Any corn map, Ormond, and Crotus Prenn Asylum as killer.
-
If you're on PC at least you only have to do it 20 times. On console we have to do it 100 times. Hardest trophy I've gotten.
-
Only if you're Claudette. Killers seem to loathe the P3 ones.
-
If they are not already being toxic themselves then definitely not. Why try and spoil someone's gaming experience like that?

And my fact is theres some people he choses not to this is a fact as well.
You came into this discussion trying to tell me Myers would never kill a child or a baby, and your entire argument has, and still does rest on a quote from David Gordon Green about one scene in one Halloween movie.
What you call a fact can't be a fact if its blatantly refuted by real proof in the movies themselves. You can't say Michael won't kill a baby when there's an entire Halloween movie that shows him trying to do so. You can't say he would never kill a child when he does in the 2018 movie, and spends two other movies trying to kill an 8 year old girl.
Again these are not my opinions. I'm simply stating what the movies show. I've stated what John Carpenter, the CREATOR of Michael Myers has said. These are real facts. David Gordon Green having one moment where Michael opted out of killing a baby doesn't mean he would never do it since the movies have already shown he would. Same as how he spared killing a Nurse doesn't mean he won't kill Nurses as Halloween II and other Halloween movies have shown.
Anyway we're done here. I can't keep repeating myself to you any more. If you want to cling to that Gordon Green quote as the defining word of Michael Myers' 40+ year characterization in the movies then go for it. You know what they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Then your saying the director lied when we literally see him walk up to the crib look at the child and walk away? Its a irrefutable fact that i see literally michael walk up to a crying baby whos defenseless looks down at it and walks away. The director even admits it was his choice to do so and its the one ethical choice michael makes during the movie. And mb they said its a reinvention i got confused. Green said what he said stop trying to deny his words and michaels actions. Your move.
Of course its not a lie. But its no different to him not killing other people he easily could have but didn't in other movies e.g. the Nurse in the original when he escaped. Michael is unpredictable.
"His motivations aren’t entirely clear. All he’s doing is not entirely clear. " - John Carpenter.
There is nobody he won't kill, which again the movies have shown. This is not my opinion. This is a fact.

He also basically admitted michael wouldnt kill a baby. And pretty sure thats not how it works with other timelines with directors lol. Halloween 2018 was a reboot that made all the other movies non canon to my knowledge because some of them were pretty bad.
Michael tried to kill a baby in Halloween 6. Michael murdered a child in the 2018 movie. You cannot say Michael would never do either. They are both there in the movies. Its irrefutable fact. What's your next example?
FYI Halloween 2018 is not a reboot. Its a sequel. It takes place 40 years after the original. Its no different to Halloween H20 which just cherry picked which movie it was a sequel to.

Yet when the director is asked when he doesnt kill the baby the director says this.
In fact, when asked about Myers’ decision not to commit infanticide, Halloween co-writer and director David Gordon Green admits that it is “the one ethical choice he [Myers] makes.” and while the creator is nice the director directs what happens in the movie they are the end all. Same thing with the nurse. While hes evil he has lines he wont cross looks like.
John Carpenter's word trumps any director's word that came after him. Carpenter created Michael Myers. He is the authority. I don't know why you keep quoting Gordon Green either. He had Michael murder a child for no reason. His movie just helped support Carpenter's words.

Why didnt he kill the 2 other kids though and the baby then? He even looks at the baby after walking up to its crib. Whats the difference between the kid at the beggining and the kids half way through.
There is no difference. Michael, the true original Carpenter vision of Michael, is he is unpredictable. Why didn't he murder the Nurse who was with Loomis when he stole her car and escaped in the original? Why did he focus on Laurie and her friends to murder?
Here is quote about Myers straight from his creator John Carpenter himself; "He’s a guy that has no personality, no character. He’s more like a force than he is human, but he skirts the edge on that. I was just playing around with it. I think that’s what makes that movie fun – the impossible, invisible, standing-in-the dark force that is Michael Myers. He’s going to kill you, and his motivations aren’t entirely clear. All he’s doing is not entirely clear.
He’s just pure evil. ”

Lol I can't believe I had to dig that out to prove something that is already spelled out in the movies.

Idk but these both take place in the same movie which he spares the kids who bump into him and the baby in the crib and in the beggining he murdered that kid so. And on canon halloween 2018 replaced all the other sequels as a sequel to halloween.
"The timeline now goes: Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2018). That's it. Those events of the other movies may not be “canon” for the new movie, much to the chagrin of fans, but the filmmakers still plan on having throwbacks and references to them for the eagle eyed fans that are hoping for some kind of acknowledgment."
Dude you're just choosing to look the 2018 movie (which he even murders a kid in lol). So I don't get your logic here. Why is looking at the other movies not valid just because the 2018 movie isn't including them? The Halloween 1, II, 4, 5, and 6 timeline is bigger and more inclusive than any of the others. Does that make them more valid than you cherry picking one movie to focus on?
But lets play devil's advocate and look at this one example you are so focused on; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEk58AqUVHg&t=3m7s
Look at that scene. Michael is hiding in the back seat of a car that already has keys sitting in the ignition. If all he wanted was the car why didn't he take it before the kid got back? Why didn't he just toss the kid out instead of murdering him, or are you trying to sell the idea he needed to kill the kid in order to get the car off him lol?
Michael waited for that poor kid to come back and murdered him. Plain and simple. So your claim he won't kill kids unnecessarily is totally wrong. Its a fact shown on screen.

The others where made non cannon by 2018 and yes in the beggining he does kill the kid because hes in his way and he needs the car. But he wont kill a kid/baby for no reason. Same with the kids who were out trick or treating one literally walked right up to him and talked to him.
"While the rest of the movie works tirelessly to convince us that Myers is an unrepentant monster, his decision not to kill a defenseless, crying baby shows that he may actually have a shred of humanity left in him. Even Myers, who is meant to represent evil personified, knows that killing a baby is simply too dark and decides to stick to murdering adults instead"
Why are they non canon? The Halloween franchise has several timelines. They are all canon depending on which timeline you look at. I could say the original Halloween is non canon if I just looked at Halloween III which doesn't even have Michael Myers lol. Or the Rob Zombie movies.
Michael needed the car that's why he had to murder the child? Pull the other one its got bells on it. He was HIDING in the back seat waiting. What was stopping him from just taking the car before the kid got back? They keys were even already sitting in the ignition. Or why did he have to murder the kid to take the car? You trying to tell him he couldn't have just tossed the kid out and taken the car lol?
Look at the original movie when he escaped. He could have killed the Nurse and taken her car if he wanted to, but he didn't. He just scared her out of it and took it.

Yet even he wont kill a child according to the director. This is emphasized in the new movie when he walks to a babies crib and looks at the baby before walking away. Also he walks past a bunch of kids who talk to him in the movie.
I guess you missed the scene in the 2018 movie where he murders a little boy. Or Halloween 4 and 5 where he tries to murder his 8 year old niece, and then in Halloween 6 her new born baby.

I gotta go with Mike but I get that he had a mental illness, but what explains his strength? I never understood why he was so resilient.
The movies never implied Michael was mentally ill. They pretty much spell out in fifty foot high letters through Loomis' dialogue that he is pure evil.

They gave the Bubba chainsaw audio bug to Billy. I'm watching Zubat stream right now and the Billy he's facing has it.

The creator of Michael was directly inspired for Michael's character by a kid with schizophrenia he visited while in college. The symptoms Michael deals with on a daily basis are also symptoms of schizophrenia. The Fandom article on him does a better job explaining it than I do, so here you go.
https://halloweenmovie.fandom.com/wiki/Michael_Myers%27_disorder
Carpenter being inspired by the creepy blank stare of a schizophrenic patient doesn't make Michael a schizophrenic. Its simply a visual inspiration he got.
Michael's characterization is verbalized through Loomis' dialogue. That's Carpenter telling the audience through Loomis exactly what Michael is.
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Either give direct info from the movie or the mouths of the people behind the movie. Otherwise what you're saying is baseless theory.

Michael Myers is strongly implied to have a mental illness similar to schizophrenia and in my opinion is a cautionary tale of what happens if you treat a mentally ill person in the absolute worst way possible. To quote the Wikipedia article on Michael's character;
"Carpenter's inspiration for the 'evil' that Michael would embody came when he was in college. While on a class trip at a mental institution in Kentucky, Carpenter visited 'the most serious, mentally ill patients'. Among those patients was a young boy around 12 to 13 years old. The boy gave this 'schizophrenic stare', 'a real evil stare', which Carpenter found 'unsettling', 'creepy', and 'completely insane'. Carpenter's experience would inspire the characterization that Loomis would give of Michael to Sheriff Brackett in the original film. Debra Hill has stated the scene where Michael kills a German Shepherd was done to illustrate how he is 'really evil and deadly'."
Michael Myers was a little boy with extreme schizophrenia whose family did nothing to help him. A common symptom of schizophrenia is hearing voices, so it would probably be safe to say that Michael heard voices that told him to kill his sister. And being six years old, at an age where empathy or even an understanding of good and evil is absent, he killed his sister. Doctor Loomis didn't even consider the thought that he was mentally ill and labeled him as pure evil, even as a six year old. To quote Doctor Loomis; "I met this six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes; the devil's eyes [...] I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil." How did Loomis become a licensed psychiatrist with a degree when he doesn't even consider that a six year old boy killed his sister because he was mentally ill.
Michael had no help during his formative years while suffering from an extreme mental illness, so it's obvious that when he broke out he wouldn't know better to not listen to his voices and kill people. He didn't have any guidance. He wasn't taught the concept of morals or alignment or empathy due to Loomis's sheer incompetence. While it's undeniable that the actions he committed were pure evil, I see him as an extremely mentally ill man who wasn't given proper guidance as a child and as a result has no way of dealing with the voices except for listening to them and killing people. The real killer in Halloween wasn't Michael, it was Loomis, who treated Michael so poorly that Michael became a killing machine with no grasp of good and evil.
In conclusion, Loomis is a horrible psychiatrist and Michael killing people could have been prevented if he got a psychiatrist who knew what they were doing. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Quote one line from the movies that implies Michael has a mental illness like schizophrenia.
Try not to use Wikipedia to attempt to validate it.

Oh well then definitely Michael Myers. Other movie killers usually had something awful happen to them like Candyman, Jason, Jigsaw, Bubba etc. Even Freddy had an abusive father when he was a kid. But Michael, from what we can tell he had a normal happy home. Then one Halloween night when he was 6 years old, he picked up a knife and murdered his older sister for no reason at all.
Ever since he's never wanted to put the knife down. As Dr. Loomis said he's purely and simply evil.

Do you mean worst as in badly written or worst as in evil?

I agree, but what would they even call Pennywise? The clown’s already a name.. the it? I don’t know what’d fit for ‘em, as much as I’m rooting for it being Pennywise.
Just call him Pennywise. Simple and effective.

For Myers I highly recommend Stalky Boi;

Myers: Corrupt intervention, Monitor and Abuse, Infectious Fright, Pop goes the weasel.

As a Myers main for killer I feel your pain. The corn is the ultimate weapon against Mikey's stalk. I let out a big sigh of sadness every time I get Coldwind.

Most fun to play as: Myers
Most fun to play against: Myers
Least fun to play as: Trapper and Freddy
Least fun to play against: Freddy, Doc and Ghostface.

Umbra
Zubatlel
Ralph
You can't go wrong with any of those three. Umbra and Zubat mix it up and play other killers and some survivor, too. Ralph's stream is pretty much exclusively Huntress play.

Complaints about game mechanics or swf groups having perks for free isnt the same as complaints about a strategy
Why not? They all fall under the same heading as being a legitimate and acceptable part of the game.
Being a perk or a strategy doesn't matter. They are all still condoned by Bhvr. If they wanted to they could make camping punishable like they do to other strategies like holding the game hostage.

Yes I do use them on my Dweet. I like them even if they are not super noticeable.
On killer I just put the Halloween pumpkin one on my hooks because I main Michael Myers, and if anyone would have a pumpkin on their hooks its him.

Yeah we could definitely go in circles here. I choose to recognize what the author said he is, you don't. I see his powers as Godly, you don't. I guess that's the great thing about works of art, we're allowed to interpret them differently.
Fair enough. I appreciate that you at least kept it civil and made good efforts to explain your point of view.

Perhaps this is because he just doesn't meet your definition of a God, but again referring back to mythology, you have Gods that aren't that powerful. Look at Dionysus. His origin story is literally he died, Zeus sewed him into his thigh, he was reborn, and then was hidden away from Hera, who wanted to kill him. He then became the last Olympian when he came of age, and is now most known as the God of wine, but he has a bunch of other titles.
Considering Pennywise is referred to as "The Destroyer of Worlds", that sounds pretty powerful, among other things already listed here. I guess it's a "weird flex but okay" moment. Just know that historically, you have what many people consider to be Gods that are vastly less powerful than Pennywise would be considered, if not on par with many.
I was typing this up as you quoted me, but the Ditto to Batman villain comparison was to demonstrate that shape-shifting appears in many forms of media & lore. Loki was a God, very well known for shape-shifting and causing mischeif through such. Pointing to a Batman villain doesn't disprove that in lore, it's a Godly power.
That's not a valid comparison. Zeus is a god. That's one god whooping another god there. If you'd told me a bunch of regular kids were able to do that to Dionysis then I'd see your point.
You keep referring to the labels given to Pennywise in the book. Show don't tell. The book itself never shows him as a being that has that kind of power. That he is of god tier status. Could you see Zeus having a hard time catching two kids on a bicycle for example lol? Surely you see my point here. Even Dionysis had the ability to transform into powerful animals like a lion and could have easily caught two kids on a bicycle. Yet Pennywise couldn't.
You also totally missed the point with the Batman villain comparison. Nobody denied shape-shifting god is not cemented in lore. The point was that being a shape-shifter does not make someone a god status being, as other fictional characters like Clayface from Batman show. Ditto with Mystique from X-Men.

So does Ditto from Pokemon, but you wouldn't call him a villain.
The author says he is a God, the destroyer of worlds, a celestial being that can shift through dimensions -- and since it's the authors world, he kinda has the last say so. Just because someone isn't impressed with his abilities as a God, doesn't mean he is less of one in his multiple books. Remember, the theory is Pennywise is in other books as a baddie as well.
I'm not sure what the point of your Pokemon comparison is......but you don't have to be a villain to be a god.
The author can tell you something about a character, but if they don't display them as such then its not true to the label. If you never had that little bit of exposition in the book, and judged Pennywise solely on how he is portrayed in terms of his abilities, nobody would ever even think this is a god status being.
He lives in the sewers of Derry. He gets his power to kill by feeding off fear. He can shape shift. He goes to sleep for 27 years after his killing sprees. Kids can out run him on a bicycle. And he was defeated by a bunch of ordinary children. This is not the portrayal of a god tier creature.
Furthermore, the root of this discussion was Pennywise would look OP compared to the Entity. Other than King labeling him a god in the book, the movies never called him that btw, what is it about Pennywise's actual portrayal that makes him look more OP than the Entity? Not a darn thing. He's a sewer dwelling shape shifter who kills kids every 27 years in some low key little town.

Funny thing is I bet you did google it, but you saw you were wrong and have too protect your ego, and that's fine. End of the day though you are just blatantly wrong and don't want to admit it lol. One google search proves you are wrong, I don't need the book too know it lol.
Nothing to do with ego. An author can label something anything they want, but if they blatantly do not show that something being what they call it, then its not what its supposed to be. In Pennywise's case King never portrays him as a god status being. He never displays god like power in the book. Nor do the movies portray him that way, or label him as such either.
And once you again you totally dodge my question. What a surprise. I wonder who's the real ego protector here.
FYI I am a huge Stephen King fan. I've read many of his books. IT, Misery, Salems' Lot, The Stand, Pet Sematary, Christine, The Shining, The Green Mile.....and so many more. He's my favorite author.
Now if you're going to reply, try and do it without making personal jabs and false accusations.

This person said it best. And again, if you just googled it you would get your answer. it's not a secret lol.
You can tell me I haven't read the book as much as you like. It won't make it true. Btw I see you completely ignored my question. Not surprising since you likely can't give a valid answer to it. Since you've supposedly read the book then you don't need your good friend Google here. So give it your best shot if you can.
The entity creates its own worlds and trials, and brings all different people from other worlds to them. Pennywise never flexed that level of power. The book tells us he is a god but he displays no god like powers in it. He does nothing more or as equally impressive as what the entity does in Dbd. He's simply a shapeshifting creature that dwells in the sewers, is centuries old, feeds off fear in order to be able to kill, and then goes on a 27 year slumber.
That's not god status power. He would not feel like a cut above if he was a killer in this game. Especially if he's based off any of the movie versions. I assume you've watched them, or do you need Google to inform you about them 😉
