That dysphoria, though, also comes with a healthy dose of his parents' murderous tendencies, depending on whether he's the sweet Glen or psycho Glenda. Or is it Glenda? Glen struggles with gender dysphoria as he tries to figure out his identity. This film picks up in 2004, six years after 'Bride,' with Tiffany's monstrous offspring having grown into a doll named Glen (Billy Boyd). Comically bloody mayhem ensues, but before the psycho couple is offed, they manage to squeeze in some twisted doll loving, and the horrifying result sets us up for the next film in the series. It's really a twisted rom-com, filtered through 'Bride of Frankenstein.' Everything from Chucky's new stitched-together look, to Tiffany's eventual rebirth as his monster doll equal harkens back to the classic. Also, apparently, internet Voodoo is a thing, and he can now transfer other people's souls as well. It introduces the Heart of Damballa, which frees Chucky up from having to transfer his soul into specific people. She steals his remains left over from the third film, stitches him back together, and brings him back with a Voodoo spell she found online. This is the film that starts expanding on the Voodoo powers from the first film, but don't expect a ton of logic. Child’s Play (2019) reiterates the fact that the Chucky, having now haunted three decades of movie-goers, is elastic in his ability to encapsulate historically specific fears including not only autonomous inanimate objects, but those objects that we have breathed life into through rapid technological innovation.'Bride' unforgettably introduces us to Chucky's old girlfriend from when he was human, Tiffany, played as sweetly sociopathic by Jennifer Tilly. Before committing suicide, he programs the doll to have none of the ordinary safety features, leading to Chucky’s characteristic violent immorality. The movie starts out with a factory in China, where a worker creating Buddi dolls (AI toys that are able to use the internet to control all of the various smart technologies in a consumer’s home) faces horrific working conditions.

That means this one is a standalone that doesn't tie into the previous films' watch order. After three decades of the same canon, the Chucky franchise was faced with a studio reboot that set aside the existing timeline (and the paranormal elements of the original franchise). In this reboot, Chucky responds to a growing fear of machine control.
