 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So I'm gonna be sharing my thoughts on the recently new Candyman trailer that came out yesterday and the new images They came out you'll be seeing them spread out across this video as I'm talking of course, so We got like an updated plot synopsis along with this as well So I'll just go over that really quick It says in present day a decade after the last of the Cabrini green towers were torn down Anthony and his partner move into a loft of the now gentrified Cabrini a chance encounter with an old-timer exposes ants need to Anthony to the true story behind Candyman anxious to use these macabre Details in his studio as fresh grits for paintings He and only opens a door to a complex past and unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence Now in the new trailer that came out no signs of Tony Todd whatsoever. I don't know if anyone else saw Tony Todd I didn't see a single bit of Tony Todd. We know that we're expecting to see him Factored into this new story in some way shape or form, but mostly the story will be about Anthony Anthony McCoy who were submitted the younger baby from the first film that Helen rescued played by now Yaha Abdul-Mateen he'll be playing the now grown-up Anthony McCoy We know Vanessa Williams is back as the mother to now confirm that Tony Todd recently was in an interview Talking about the fact that this is a direct sequel to the original film Which you already kind of knew basically he talked about his excitement to work with me at the Costa and this movie is basically going to be the story about how Anthony kind of gets his own Candyman s story and origins. This is going to be his candyman story because What was what was the biggest standout to me from that new trailer was the description of what Candyman was From this old timer that Anthony will come in contact with He says that this Candyman was an actual Candyman an actual Candyman who Was a black man in the area of Cabrini and he would just give out candy to two kids, I guess and One day or something was going on where razor blades were starting to show up in the candy and the wrong man got blamed for that because of the fact that he Was going around handing out candy, so the police had it wrongfully handled matters regarding the black individual a black man in this case and That's Where the original story of Candyman came from or that's this particular origin story of what Candyman is now now What I will say on to that is I don't believe this is them saying that The Daniel Robotel or I think I'm pronouncing that last name wrong Tony Todd's Candyman I don't think they're saying that that is not what's happening here anymore since we know Candyman is still a thing It's opening the door and expanding on the mythos of what we've already kind of seen With how the original film with we had Helen who more or less was this character that Tony Todd Tony Todd's Candyman was trying to bring over into his side after she started looking into his into his history and not believing in his history and We come to find that it's implied that maybe she might be a reincarnation of the past lover that he ended up losing his life for since he was the Artist of a slave who had certain privileges because of this and the money that they were making and he ended up getting the He ended up getting a specific white woman pregnant and that ended up in him getting killed because a mob hunted him down Cut his hand off that he used for his art and they unleashed bees on him And some nearby child was chanting Candyman Candyman Candyman and that's how that story was was boring How he came to be known as Candyman and now of course There's nothing to do with candy there at all But this new origin story for this man that I guess we're gonna be following primarily With this origin of who Candyman is because it's not Tony Todd that was shown throughout the trailer. It's Yaha Yaha's character Anthony seen images of that of the of an actual candy man Who was handing out that candy that was wrongfully killed by the police? so What I think is happening here is just opening the door With the things that we already saw in the first film with Helen because Helen ended up having her own story anyway By the end she became just like what Tony Todd's care to have been back when he was wrongfully murdered Helen was wrongfully murdered in the end of the original film. So Just like how this black person who was actually handing out candy Was wrongfully killed because of some unfortunate incident incidents were razor blades being found in candy that Prompted police to I guess assume it was this person and then they ended up killing him in incorrectly Dealing with the wrong man. It wasn't him. So I don't think Tony Todd's legacy or his mythos necessarily being ignored It's just them expanding on it. The trailer in and of itself was very candy man. Esk It does give me vibes of the original. We have Anthony clearly going around town Looking for details about this legend this myth. He's gonna be at his mother's house We know we've seen several shots of that near the costa is featured in like a recent message She gave for the Juneteenth holiday that recently passed where she's talking about what it means to her and how this story is very relevant Compared to what's going on in today's world regarding someone just in today's climate So I'm really excited to see what this woman can bring to the table It looks like this will be a very well put together film with a lot of Body horror it seems as we saw throughout the trailer. There's a lot of teases and glimpses of body horror But my whole thing here I wanted to kind of really talk about mostly were the fact that this man on screen here seems to be kind of Indicating that there's gonna be a different origin story factored into this But still the head honcho that started all of this and kind of is the person who would pave the way for what's going on with These new incarnations of these candy man characters appearing in these areas is Tony Todd's Daniel Robenthal and again I'm sure mispronouncing that name. They're not ignoring his legacy whatsoever They're just expanding on it and all these candy man s features that are showing up just like how Helen showed up at the end of The first film they're all tied to what originally happened with Daniel And there's just different stories that have come out since the last original film Now there's actually been a literal person in the area who gave out candy and they were wrongfully killed Not to say that this didn't happen around the time the original film happened But like we're just hearing different variants of what candy man is now and we go even as far to say candy man Isn't just a single person candy man is the entire hive the hive of course being people who are wrongfully being killed For things that they didn't deserve to be killed for so I like the way this is kind of implying that candy man for those Of you who are up on your history candy man could be in material candy man could be George Floyd candy man could be a lot of different people who have unfortunately lost their lives for stuff that Makes no sense to lose your life over stuff that makes no sense to lose your life over could have been prevented Could have been dealt with in a different manner.
