Wow so Mike was a huge dick

After all he went through in the first movie with Karen, forming a bond with her and helping her save her sons life. So after all that when the cops arrive at the end he's all like "Hey guys this womans crazy as hell she killed everyone and was blaming it all on the doll".

I mean i have to assume thats how it went down since in this one they tell us the cops was smart and denied everything and Karen was entered into a mental institution.

Thats what i love about these high school girls, i get older they stay the same age.

Well, you also have to remember that everything we heard in P2 was secondhand from people who were no way involved in the case. It might not have been that cut and dry.

Like maybe Mike did try to back Karen up, but then realized it would be the end of his career in law enforcement, so he had no choice but to deny it.

Or maybe they knew Karen was getting locked away regardless so she told Mike to deny the story so he could keep an eye on Andy, which me might have been doing off camera since they couldn't get the actor to return for the sequel.

Well that could be how it happened, but there was plenty of evidence to back her story imo. I mean wasn't Chucky's doll body full on human at the end? I mean he had blood, a heart, pretty much all the parts a human would have. Wouldn't the cops see that and think theres some truth to this story as crazy as it sounds?

I always found that part to be kinda left out, i mean how did they explain the blood inside the doll and everything? I could understand Mike denying everything if the doll looked like a doll and not some bloody burnt crazy looking thing. Mike imo could have backed her i mean there was plenty of evidence.

Thats what i love about these high school girls, i get older they stay the same age.

''Wasn't the factory rebuilding the doll to see why it malfunctioned. I think in a way they did believe the story''

no they were doing it for the press i was thinking to disprove the rumours and not damage the company and prove the woman was crazy although people did not believe it really.

Agreed. I wonder still to this day how the plot would have been different if mike and karen were in it. I still would have kept the good guy factory scene

i have to assume thats how it went down since...Karen was entered into a mental institution.

I strongly disagree.

To say "Karen is in a mental institution because she said a doll is alive" is an entirely different statement than to say "Karen is in a mental institution because she murdered people."

The film only makes the first statement, not the second.

And she would have been - and was - put there simply for saying Chucky was alive. She need not have murdered anyone to have been put there.

Furthermore, Karen has a rock-solid alibi (working in a major department store) for when her friend was murdered. So even if they did blame Karen for some of the murders, then they'd still have to blame someone else for that one at least. And since they definitely blamed someone else, why would they bother to blame Karen too?

And on top of all of that, if Karen was blamed for the murders, then the corporate lackey would have said so in the same scene that you are citing, because that would have 100% debunked the "Chucky is alive story" and therefore left his corporation entirely off the hook, which is exactly what he and his CEO wanted! This point pretty much proves that Karen wasn't blamed for the murders.

The film definitely committed a major fubar by not explaining who took the blame.
