Go back to the drawing board and remember what got you here.
You started this whole thing with a brilliant casting choice in RDJ. He's charismatic, likeable, but also arrogant and flawed. You want to spend time with him and follow his story. Likewise, you continued to make really good casting and directing decisions. The Russos took this franchise to heights no one thought possible.
After "End Game", you just completely fell apart and forgot what got you to the top of the mountain. Your choices of casting, writers, and directors has been a dumpster fire. You pissed off the people doing your CGI, and now it's very sub par. Kevin Feige, and his underlings, could not have handled this post-"End Game" era any worse than they did. You turned a machine that was literally printing money into a giant flop factory.

Seriously.
If you shot someone multiple times, point blank, and they fell off a balcony, you would be raving like a maniac too if you looked down and they were gone. Especially if you already suspected that they weren't human.
The best Coen Brothers film, IMO.

Because it's supposed to be the concluding chapter in a TRILOGY and it isn't. I emphasize the word TRILOGY because it seems that most modern directors today don't understand that trilogies are supposed to fit together.
Is the final chapter of a trilogy supposed to introduce a new main character? Not in any I've ever seen. And if I was Andi Matichak, I would still be livid that they robbed me of the opportunity to explore the Allyson character in the aftermath of the devastation that happens in "Kills". "Halloween 2018" is built around Laurie, her trauma, and her relationship with her family. "Halloween Kills" is built around Michael going ape shit, and the evil inside him. Halloween Ends should've been about Allyson, losing her mother, wanting revenge, dealing with her grandmother, and possibly about the town of Haddonfield turning on them, and trying to run them out of town.
Instead, David Gordon Green decided to make up a new movie about a babysitter who makes a horrible mistake and is bullied by the town. They push him to become a killer and he strikes back at them. This is the movie he wanted to make, not the conclusion of the story he started in 2018. To be fair, I wouldn't actually mind seeing this movie as its own entity, not part of the Halloween franchise. However, he decided to go ahead and make that film, and try to force the other elements from the trilogy into it. Including a tacked on five minute, "Final showdown", between Laurie and Michael that is supposed to show that this is actually part of the trilogy, and here's the ending you wanted... Give me a break. The entire marketing campaign of this film was built around that last five minutes, and it was tacked on, and felt tacked on.
Sinister, IMO.
Christmas Vacation.
Slasher! (Preferably from the '70s/'80s)

Underrated Gem.
I just threw up in my mouth at the thought of him getting a hold of Jason or Freddy.
Keep this hack away from anything to do with the Big 3.
