>TFW your favorite show from your youth gets a gritty horror rebootI understand that the times change but Buddy was a wholesome show. Some properties should be left alone. I'm surprised the creators ok'd this
>>155255245Mascot horror is trendy right now, so it makes sense.
>>155255245I hate this trend so much.
>>155255245I love this trend so much
>>155255245How long do you think Freddy was in the Buddy world?Does buddy just cycle through cast members every season?Does he feel guilty over what he is doing?
>>155255265Its been trendy since FNAF, when is this shit gonna end?
>>155255245Spoiler alert. Buddy a metaphor for child grooming by producers in the entertainment industry.
>>155255343When we have a Supergirl 1984 moment. Something so bad that it kills the whole genre.
>>155255340Buddy killed people like it was nothing so probably not that long. Might have cycled through a cast every few episodes.
>>155255245>A Barney-inspired slasher movie and Coyote vs ACME both did better than a big-budget Ridley Scott movie1. Has there been a director who had a bigger downfall than Ridley Scott? 2. What direction will Buddy 2 go in?
>>155255245>I'm surprised the creators ok'd thisMe too. I mean, what kind of madlad would say yes to free money?!
>>155255245Pretending the show exists outside of the movie is a dumb shtick that was already boring in the previous thread
>>155255349Is it still metaphor when Buddy grope a nurse ass and implied to only eat virgins?
>>155255382An anon joked in a previous thread that Buddy 2 would take the Aliens route and go full action and would be titled "Buddies"
>Well, that's all the time we have
>>155255245At least they got it right that Buddy doesn't start off looking scary.A lot of mascot horror stuff make the mistake of making the initial designs too scary. They are supposed to start off seeming harmless they become scary.
>>155255423>An anon joked in a previous thread that Buddy 2 would take the Aliens route and go full action and would be titled "Buddies"If buddy follow the horror trend of M3GAN 2. They will make Buddy a good guy.
>>155255366The entire genre is terrible though. The FNAF movies were straight garbage that only turned a profit because FNAF has the world's dumbest fanbase with dog shit taste and that's the most successful thing to come out of this subgenre.Buddy is getting attention because it's surprisingly good unlike most stuff to come out of this fad.
>>155255245Do the Buddy glide!
>>155255245Oh yeah my friends and I wanted to go see a movie and were considering this, but the only showtime was 9:00 at night and we all had work in the morning.
>>155255453I’m disappointed that a lot of the Chucky/Child’s Play franchise does this. The first movie understood the correct balance of making the original Good Guy dolls believably ugly cute. Like a real Cabbage Patch doll. The cursed Chucky doll is supposed to be an outlier that is getting progressively more uncanny and creepy as the first film progresses. But later entries in the franchise just decide that Good Guys should look fucked up from the outset.
>>155255382I don't understand how Ridley keeps getting big budget films
>>155255245This is the most boring and overdone genre in history At this point it is more interesting to make a straightforward, seems it will go into horror but never does adaption of a children’s game/show/series vs the mascot horror and they kill kids slop
>>155256601Cuz he's a knight, I guess.
>>155256731> This is the most boring and overdone genre in history
>>155256731You weren't conscious during the zombie craze and it shows.
>>155256969I feel old thinking about the Found Footage boom that literally had 80 percent of the movies never even show the thing attacking them because Paranormal Activity.
>>155256969>>155256996I have an even older one: westerns.
>>155257006Literally was thinking about bringing up Blazing Saddles when >>155255366said>a Supergirl 1984 moment. Something that kills the whole genre
>>155255245I don't need to go to no theater, I can watch that shit FO FREE!
>>155256938Nah, he's right.
>>155256969Zombies were fun.>>155256996This is the only one that's more boring, but at least it's somewhat more unique than this shit.
>>155256731I don’t think I could even count three normie tier household name titles in this subgenre that Karen from accounting would recognize. That’s barely grounds for calling it a genre at all.
>>155255245is this movie actually good, I went to see coyote vs acme instead of it so I don't know
>>155257383It has it's moments but it's overall just okay.
>>155257383Its pretty good, it is a lot more "absurd" kind of film then a horror film but it is a genuine film if thats what your worried about. Its not so cynical as to not take itself seriously. Even if there is a good chunk of comedy in the film you never feel like the kids arent genuinely in danger, Buddy is a serious threat up until the end, and if your worried about it being like a FNAF property where its mountains and mountains of lore bait its not that kind of film either. Like aside from a joke or two not landing its a good time. I had a pretty full theater in my screening(mostly high school kids go figure) and they were enjoying themselvesAlso as an aside, isnt it fucking crazy that despite all the shit going on in the world and the general state of the economy that this happens to be the year where films are actually putting out good(or at least financially successful) movies? I just find that interesting
>>155255245Speaking of which, today I learned the director of this movie also made that official Scooby Doo/Blair Witch Project parody that Cartoon Network aired as commercial bumpers. He just went under the name Chris instead of Casper.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPZWfXLTDuo
>>155257685It's cheap movies that make money most consistently, something that Hollywood has absolutely failed to internalize.
This movie was more sad than scary
Saban's still around?
>>155255398You're right it's an allegory.
Nurse Grace should have fucked Buddy
>>155255396Did you not watched the episodes from before the movie was released?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H3S7z4viaMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzHQK8VpSLs
>>155258237The most that faggot company did was probably that obnoxious ad campaign. Still won't get a red cent out of me
>>155258309Buddy isn't going like you talking bad about his movie like that, anon
>>155256731Like Ha Ha You Clowns?
>>155255245Is this better or worse than Mr Crocket
>>155258780unironically thought Mr Crocket was a 6/10 film with a pretty neat premise.
>>155257332>Zombies were fun.>I was a kid back then so I liked them so it doesn't countI get that every one of us can't truly be completely objective about any artistic topic but obviously hypocritical retards like you are really fucking unjustifiable.
>>155255245>Some properties should be left alone.Most properties should. Especially when the creators of today are destroyers.>>155255343I too have furry mascot fatigue.>>155255453>They are supposed to start off seeming harmless they become scary.Just like scary clowns. Or singing ring-a-ring-a-roses... or own brand nursery rhymes.>>155256969Zombies sucked. The worst part is how they all defaulted to humanity is literally doomed and the survivors keep going by not asking why they're bothering, especially when every other person they meet is a cannibal. Just perpetual misery.
>>155256938there is a popular trend for these movies.have yet to see one reach mainstream success though
>SabanSo it'll never get any home release ever?
>>155255934>The entire genre is terrible though.Yeah, well we need something unforgivably bad bad by FNAF standards.
>>155255272>>155255285Once hollywood is making movies of it you know its at the end of the the its popularity
>>155255265But how successful is it outside a few staple franchises?
The real world plot killed this film
>Does nothing to help until it's too late
>>155255245I wish Buddy kept getting gorier until he’s a mangled shamble of puppet flesh. Would make it more impactful when he got reset too, like there could be a cycle of near-killings by kids
>>155258303Start of the film was funny, some kids were there for whatever reason and they were whining that it was just a kids show because they just could not wait for things to go pair shaped. I feel like that in itself is testament to how well Buddy pulled off resembling something that could've very well been for kids in the past compared to most of this stuff
Do you anons have any theories regarding the movie/character?
>>155259431The whole movie was an elaborate way to get Freddy to be brave. He was never going to kill her
>>155257364>well if the people most ignorant about youth media don't know about them, that means they're not overdonexkcd posters having bad takes as usual. FNAF, TADC, Poppy's Playtime, and Bendy and the Ink Machine all have merchandise in stores around every part of the USA I go to.
>>155258780Is that the sonic totem behind him?
>>155255245I noticed a lot of people are seeing buddy and coyote vs ACME at the same time for some reason.
>>155258780Better from what I read. They don't try and make Buddy a good guy. Mr Crockett was basically a shitty Candyman
>>155259675it's HIM
I hate FNAFI hate the Walten FilesI hate analog horror I hate the backroomsI hate zoomers and their stunted definition of horror
>>155259468If you recall how the rules work, it seems pretty clear that Buddy was trying to make Freddy feel bad and sing along with him to try and get a credits roll. It's why his final utterance before death was "Bitch." because she didn't fall for his trick
>>155259431I feel like at some point Buddy really did care and love the kids, but that one kid joking around with his song made him try to be a LOT more controlling of the situation around him, and you know what they say about absolute power.
>>155259808Eh, I wouldn't call Buddy an Analog Horror. It's more of an absurdist dark comedy
>>155256038To be fair, a lot of real life dolls are fucking unsettling looking
>>155256731Gimme a Mascot Horror where the Mascot is trying to stop the bad guy.... Wait
>>155255245>>155255272Horror is the goy slop of the movie world, just cheap cash grabs.
>>155255265Maybe 5 years ago
>>155255245>your favorite show from your youthThis is your mindset.
>>155255265It's only good when the mascot character isn't a crazy white guy in a suit, but an actual non-human creature, like in this movie. I'm only gonna watch Buddy fo Betty. Pretty sure she doesn't get enough screen time.
>>155258780There is actually a similarity to that movie somewhere around the halfway point, according to what I read.
>>155259358Still worth it. She's trying to put the genie back in the bottle and it would have worked if the kids played along. Would smash.
>>155260372ew
>>15525524599% this is produced by a company in Tel-Aviv
I want this film nominated for best costume and production design
I want a Barney movie where Barney's an asshole off-camera, stuck doing store openings and children's parties to pay the bills and fund his drug habit, and Baby Bop is his adult, hard-drinking, hard-up and slutty sister who books appearances not connected to their tv job. On every off-studio job, Barney's in the backyard with the family and their kids' friends, singing songs he finds annoying and dying inside little by little, and Baby Bop's off raiding the liquor cabinet, and/or trying to corner the father or teenage brother in the house. Everyone thinks they're actors in costumes, but they're real dinosaurs...and scientists have once again gotten how dinosaurs looked wrong.
>>155260395You probably fap to FEET. Don't judge. Fuckin' MORT.
>>155255245Hope adult swim airs the film one day.
>>155258836I'm older than you, kid.
>>155255382The most likely scenario would be that they just do it again but with [insert x] this time. Either Terminator 2, Aliens, or Friday 13th part 2 But if they went a bit clever they could go somewhere else. Instead of it being about the show directly, they handle another part of it of the "Buddy franchise". Maybe the horror is about the merchandise, somethings haunting a certain product and its spilling over and causing death. A new toy is being release and it's warping the minds of those who buy. And the more death is cause the more powerful it is until a new Buddy is remade or something
>>155255382One of the kids from the first film actually survived and has taken over the show
>>155260463I do semen retention.
I really liked the movie, very creative hard send of the premise.
So what was the deal with the other two unicorns on the mural in the school near the end? I assume one of them was the old one at the bottom of the well, but where was the third one?
>>155260608Yeah, I figured you were SOME flavor of weird.
>>155258222Happens more times than you think with "horror" movies
>>155260991I said this in an earlier thread but there are two things going on with that. Number 1 is that there is a meta aspect to that lore bit, cause the thing that this movie is majorly spoofing is Barney. The thing is about that despite cultural osmosis telling you otherwise, Barney's show is called "Barney and Friends" but as time went on people and eventually official media just called the show Barney. So with that in mind, the in world show being called "Its Buddy" and the reveal of [insert your spoiler here] shows how Buddy himself took over that world/show just like how Barney overtook Barney and Friends.The second thing is more of a lore bit I imagine. Despite the obvious "TV Show" premise the magic in the show is real, and there are aspects of the world that cant be explained by just Buddy's powers, so thats why you get [insert spoiler here] and its implications for the other magical aspects of this world. Also it leaves room for sequel bait, the director has had interviews post premiere that have him already stating hes down to do another one so thats why those bits were probably left vague at the end
Nice, it's up on youtube. DL it while you can and watch at your leisure. Just look for "Buddy Full Movie". It's in 5 segments.
>Buddy is on the news because stupid parents took their children and toddlers to the horror moviehttps://files.catbox.moe/7lcwi1.mp4
>>155257006westerns were kinoand so were martial arts movies
>>155258780can't tell if this supposed to be Mr. Rogers or Bill CosbyIs there a Fat Albert horror parody yet?
>>155255343It should have died with Willy's Wonderland, would have been poetic
>>155262128I actually saw some young kids(guessing elementary given the toys they had on their chairs) in my screening and they took it alright all things considered.
>>155262128Why are the parents comparing appear to be all black?
>>155260450Isn't this just a few hairs removed from Bojack?
>>155262459Not really. It's not set in a world where sentient dinosaurs, or living dinos at all are a thing. Everybody thinks Barney and Baby Bop are just people in suits, not biological beings.
>>155262402Cuz they're scamming. Those broke niggas didn't pay for tickets in the first place. They snuck in and now they're trying to get free money.
>>155262402Because America is like 30% white at most
>>155259699>for some reasonThey're out at the same time and it's easier to knock them out in one go. I did a triple feature of Coyote, Buddy, and Tony. The Anthony Bourdain was the one that made me flinch the most. Anthony is trying to open an oyster with a knife and accidentally stabs his palm. Realistic injuries are always worse than the cartoonish blood of horror films.
>>155262128>>155262402The R-rated previews didn't tip them off that it's not a kid's film??
>>155263505Parents have been distracted idiots since the 2000's. They only pay attention long enough to shove a phone or tablet into their spawns' hands.
>>155255272>>155255285I have no opinion on this trend
>>155255245movie looks too scary for me :(
>>155264902It's not really scary Most deaths are off screen
This happened to my mom with that Banana Splits thing.
>>155258780Mr. Crocket's has the more creative kills, but everything else about it is weaker
>Creator of Too Many CooksWell at least it'll actually feel unsettling/wrong enough then.
I wonder how long it will take for a millennial Aussie director to make a horror movie based on Play School?
>>155255343Kids like it. You're not required to like the things kids like, children are notoriously stupid. But wrong board for that comment, I guess.
>>155255245>illegalize things I don't likekek
>>155265612>Creator of Too Many CooksHe also did Unedited Footage of a Bear right? That one actually fucked me up, had trouble sleeping for days
>>155265752No Alan Resnick did that
>>155265767Was anyone from Wham City Comedy also involved?
>>155265779Yes, all of them
>>155255245I wonder what Buddy gets out of the whole Barney-like experience to the point where he's willing to kill to maintain it
>>155266145He seems to be an attention whore so that may be part of it
>>155265676>its for kids so its okay that it's shit
>>155263505Do you think that parents do any research?
Question semi-related to Buddy: so the movie's a Barney parody, and at the beginning where Better and Buddy explain dancinflg and cleaning there's stock clips of those activities. Did Barney do something similar? I vaguely remember it in the show and if it was, that's a pretty specific part of Barney tp take from
>>155266507He's totally an attention whore. If it's not about him, he starts...acting out.
>>155262257You ever seen the Mr Rogers episode from Black Dynamite? Well race swap Mr Rogers and throw in some of Tony Todd's Candyman and then remove the humor and parody aspect and play it completely straight and that's Mr Crocket.By the way I'm not implying Mr Crockett is as good as Black Dynamite ot Candyman, it's not. It's kind of bad actually. Watch Black Dynamite and Candyman insteadhttps://youtu.be/FFnZNzwWxhk?si=FHNF4uVWtPIkaVKL
>>155265521Wade's death was offscreen, but fucking brutal.
>>155267513Josh had it coming, tbfLittle ungrateful twerp
>>155265648On what now? Not all of use here know wtf that is.
>>155263363That's their own fault, not being able to avoid marrying hispanic and other not-quite-white women because they're "exotic".
>>155255245Should they make a gritty horror movie around MTV VJs from the 1990s?
>>155262292That was probably my favorite of all these FNAF-type movies, Nicolas Cage beating up puppets while not uttering a single word the entire film, pure Cagekino.
>>155263363lies
>>155267712You're rightIt's 20 percent
>>155262337Kids love being scared.
>>155256601The legacy attached to his name. Marlon Brando kept getting big budget roles decades after he became a fat manchild who palpably didn't give a shit about his work.
I'm uncomfortable with kids being hurt in movies.
>>155265576I agree. I didn't think Mr. Crocket was scary at all. Seeing the kids in distressed and killed in Buddy was a lot scarier to me. Helps that the kids in that movie are likeable unlike Mr. Crocket with the main leads bratty ass kid
>>155255245>People support the perpetrators of the Epstein Class sex crimes like Trump and those same supporters like going to movies where kids are murdered and sexually assaulted This country is sick
>>155268161what
>>155267628How do you make a horror movie about MTV VJs?
>>155264902pussy
test
>>155271345You failed it.
>>155255340I would imagine at least a year or two, the brief glimpses we get not much has changed and I imagine it took a while for something to get through to her mom. I imagine the cast cycled fairly frequently but not consistently based on his demeanor, though with how terrible he is at lying I assume a full reset happens pretty often. I doubt he feels guilty for the killings, it's safe to assume Buddy wasn't the top of the food chain but high up enough to be totally okay with the arraignment.
>>155268161Yea but I think everyone relates to watching Barney and are rooting for the kids to escape right.
>>155271610>Puts blood covered evidence in the public trash canWas Buddy stupid?
>>155267488I can't recall if Barney specifically did but a lot of children's edutainment of the era would use stock footage to depict real scenarios of the lesson of the day
>>155271720I think he must have assumed the reset would wipe everything and reset the kid's memories.
>>155255245Normally I wouldn't give shit like this the time of day, but I really loved Too Many Cooks.
Has someone done Willy Wonka as a horror film yet where the kids are just shown getting gored?
>>155267628I think her hair looks sexier on the left
>>155271644What having a jeet wife does to a mfer
>>155272331Was the movie like that?
>>155271720Yes.
>>155272639It’s close enough to being scary that you really don’t have to. Also I don’t think it’s in the public domain yet, so getting the rights would be a challenge.
>>155267634That movie was better than the actual FNAF movies.
>>155272061Hello again to all my friendsI'm glad you came to playOur fun and learning never endsHere's what we did today
>>155258208Yeah, they're too busy trying to chase that MCU high thinking if they dump more money into something they can somehow make a billion despite the market shrinking more and more every year and streaming fucking over most post-theater profits.
>>155277184Execs are idiots who think that pumping money into something magically multiplies the return. "Just throw money at it, it'll make a fortune!"
Saw a vid of some dumbass parents being mad after taking their kids to see this shit.
neither comic nor cartoonbuy an adkys
>>155277633
>>155255366But it's ALWAYS bad. The problem is that horrorfags literally don't have a rock-bottom.

>>155259358I felt like she knew but knows she couldn’t do anything cause of how worse it might get.
>>155262257they don't have the balls to make a Bill Cosby parody film
if you replaced grace with betty in that one scene, do you think she would let him do it?
>>155277594Having seen it now, I can actually see how a person who is distracted and not paying attention and out of touch with modern kids’ media could get confused for maybe a good twenty minutes into the film. They open by playing it pretty straight. Even the poster isn’t designed to scream “scary gorey mature horror movie,” it’s just mildly unsettling.
>>155277633puppets are /co/
>>155259358What did she do to help?
>>155272639>Has someone done Willy Wonka as a horror film yet where the kids are just shown getting gored?Someone made a Willy Wonka inspired TTRPG called Blood in the Chocolate: that triggered /tg/ critical role 5E fans because he didn’t shy away from the racial enslavement of the Oompa Loompa’s.
>>155255366What about a Supergirl 2026 moment?Same thing?
>>155255382>Ridley Scott movieI had to look ot up to remember what it was
>>155255343End? Lmao. Stuck culture.
This movie makes me almost sad that I fell for the hating on Barney meme back when I was in the prime target demographic. Just cause it woulda given me better context and maybe even nostalgia. I think I secretly watched maybe two Barney episodes out of curiosity when I was probably about seven. But even I can see that the early scene in Buddy with Josh definitely does very well capture one classic 90s edutainment trope. There’s was always some moody emo kid that wanted to go pout in a corner while the other kids were having fun, and it was the episode’s job to show him that being antisocial is bad and he should come join the group. Buddy is faced with an interesting problem when Josh doesn’t magically get with the program at the usual cue and instead persists in his behavior. I saw a post in a now dead thread over on /tv/ that they were struggling to identify any themes the movie had. Between me being so stuck on Josh’s entire character and the molestation scene with Nurse Grace, I think there was a theme about abusive control and the violation of consent.
His voice was vaguely attractive and I felt a little something when he tongue-lashed the nurse.
>>155278957Oh absolutely. Better question is whether or not she’d enjoy it.
Between this, the Mario movies, and Super mansion, Key is really good at voice acting He was extremely believable as a Barney type character
>>155280623Betty Bunny, please calm down
>Don't go in the clubhouse, I just mopped
>>155280623I would not fuck a mascot, but I can get how you could pick up daddy dom vibes from one.
>sentient clock puppet witnesses murder>he literally punches the clock
Do you think Buddy was also getting jiggy with the original nurse?
>>155281102Nancy? Possibly. He could be doing behind closed door stuff with literally any of the cast. Probably if any of the girl kids stuck around long enough to age up a few years, he’d start predding on them too. Assuming Grace was his type. I’m glad we got a minimum of uncomfortable sex stuff though. It’s very easy to over do it and then it wouldn’t be as uncomfortable. Not entirely sure what they were saying with the gay cowboy puppet but that was fun too.
>>155267516I think I may be out of my league with you guys.
>>155267534Josh is an interesting character to me, because when I was a kid, I also only ever wanted to sit alone and read. And now that I’m an adult, I finally understand why all the adults in my life would keep insisting I’d have a better time if I went and played with the other kids. I was supposed to be learning skills then that are a lot harder to learn now.But physically beating Josh still seems bad. And yet, I don’t see a better alternative. Which is why it’s so good I’ll never have kids.
