Michael is BALD in the new movie!? Wtf

And for everyone saying the mask is essentially his real face for them…the mask (of course has become iconic in it’s own right) was just a tool. A disquise. It wasn’t meant to be that important. In reality it was just a matter of convenience for him at the time just like the knife and the rope. His real face is what needs to be seen. No more mask, however blasphemous that may sound

To stand apart from bald guys? Because if he had hair he’d look just like every other guy with hair out there.

Myers is bald, bald is beautiful, get over it. :laughing:

61… It’s hard to believe. That’s what I call a mature serial killer.

Not trying to be confrontational but this is a mask collection community that has been here probably longer than you’ve been alive. These posts just seem like trolling and probably won’t be very welcome no matter how long you may stay here. You may try to come across deep and analytical of this franchise but it’s a hard sell to these guys that Michael Myers shouldn’t have a mask.

I love the masks. I have several myself. Just thought it might be interesting to see some differing opinions about the new movie and character. All opinions welcome

So no more mask, show his face, must have hair, and he should talk… lmfao.

LOL
next we gotta change his name and start having him saving people

He should also be a detective of sorts. That saves animals.

After talking with very reliable sources who worked on set, Michael also suffers with health issues and is on blood thinner medication because of a cardiovascular infraction.

This sure is a tough crowd

I strongly disagree. He’s almost powerless without the mask though he still kills people wiithout it.
The mask defines his character.

I agree with Kaizu. In the original film’s ending, he panics when unmasked; he’s completely vulnerable.

Agreed. I’ve thought of him having almost “Rorschach” levels association with his mask. For anybody unfamiliar, the Watchman character Rorschach constantly wears a sack over his face that depicts his moods. I’ve thought of Michael being similar, where he feels like the mask, for a lack of a better phrase, hides his ugliness and holds together his rage. I may be influenced by the RZ movies here, but I remember reading a fan theory a few years back about how in RZH2, the more of Michael’s face becomes exposed through his mask, the more brutal and less coordinated his kills become. I really like the idea, and the idea that he thinks of the mask as his true face because it hides everything ugly that really is him. The mask is a salve that physically represents Michael’s introversion into himself. Michael is so introverted that there’s nothing truly “human” there. It’s just a husk of something that may have been human at one time, but now is powered by pure evil.

I can see that. But my argument is, there weren’t many mask choices available on the spur of the moment. Therefore it could have been any mask. My argument is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be a white painted Shatner mask. As much as I hate the RZ Halloweens, I think he did get the point that he wanted to hide his true self with the use of a mask. But it could be any mask I don’t think HE has an attachment to THAT particular mask as we feel he does. WE love that mask, I’m just saying the Shatner mask has no meaning to MM. I just feel that the movies put too much into his Shatner mask. We would revolt, though, (me included) if he wore something else. So it’s just a conundrum. It just makes it harder to advance the film’s when we’re tied to such “have tos”. Imagine Michael killing in shorts and a T-shirt lol

Humanizing The Shape/Michael is always the worst aspect of the series. Stuff like this, like the end of H:20 the tear scene in part 5, the sister motivation, it’s anti-Halloween to me.

Equating someone that played him 40 years ago with the character isn’t mic drop material. That’d be like saying Roman Paloanski’s character in The Vampire Killers is a pedophile because Polanski is.

Well the movie is set 40 years later, and Tony Moran who played Myers (for all 5 seconds) had hair back then, is now bald… so mic drop.

I agree

what? Did you want him to look like Elvis Presley ??
:unamused:

While we are at it, maybe he should have just remained a child, 40 years later, because aging is too humanizing apparently. There needs to be some realistic aspects to Michael. It is what keeps the mystery alive.
