He sure seemed to be looking pretty well in this one for a guy who presumably should have had 3rd and 4th degree burns over 100% of his body.

Okay. First of all, you see his hands burned throughout the movie. The rest of the time he's in a mask and overalls. Despite the opening scene unmasked sit up goof, when exactly do you see the rest of his body? Same with Loomis. He has his scars on his hands and face, but again, you don't see his body. So you have no idea the amount of damage was done or is still there.
Second, this is Michael Myers. He got up seconds after literally being shot 6 times and walked away. Don't you think after 10-11 years he'd have healed just a little bit? His face was bandaged in 4, but I assume it was removed sometime after he got his mask in 4. He even crawled out of an exploding mine shaft seconds after being shot at least a hundred or dozens upon dozens of times at the end of 4/start of 5.
Just because you don't see the burns doesn't mean they weren't there. As for H20, that is a slap in the face, because there is no damage to him whatsoever. At least 4-6 made the effort to acknowledge his burns. Sure, 20 years have passed, but there would be some indications. Especially since 4-6 went to the trouble.
Still, the lack of burns in H20 was the least of the movie's problems.

I don't know. For someone who by all means should be burnt to a crisp over 100% of his body based on that final shot of Halloween II, his burns seemed pretty superficial and sporadic to me. Some moderate scaring just along the back of his hands and parts of his arms? Come on, he should look like black crispy jerky. Or at the very least he should look like Freddy Krueger.
And we did get a brief shot of Michael's face.

Two things that both 4-6 and H20 get wrong:
1. Laurie shot out both his eyes. Why are they suddenly back.
2. No scaring whatsoever on his face. Pretty odd, considering the ending of HII was showing the fire burning Michael's entire face and melting the mask off.
I will give them credit for at least showing some partial burns in 4-6, but it's not even close to what it should have looked like. If it healed THAT much over 10 years AND he regenerated both his eyes, then in 20 years I see no reason to think he couldn't have made a full recovery.
Or maybe he just visited some black market doctor and got some reconstructive surgery. Michael's been shown to be rather smart and resourceful. That doesn't seem too farfetched.
Seeing Michael's scars and burns is irrelevant and I really don't need to see Michael's nude body to prove it. I'll be happy with the overalls, thank you. Just because you don't see them or need to see them doesn't mean they aren't there. That wasn't integral to the story. Ever here the phrase "I thought you were dead" "I got better". Michael got better. Not surprising given his previous injuries only slowed him down briefly.
To me, it doesn't have to all make sense or be logic to fit a horror movie unstoppable killer. Some things are best left unsaid. Just get to the story and the killing.

Fair enough.
Sounds like something that could be just as applicable to H20 as it would be for 4-6, though.
Hell, H20 didn't even explain how he survived the fire.

Not really. Just a quote from the cop, they never found his body. Guess he got up and walked away again. And Laurie's didn't stick around to see his ashes remark. That was it. Resurrection went as far to suggest he'd been living underneath the house for all that time. Nothing concrete or proven. Guess they didn't think an explanation mattered, just that he was there.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't H20 imply that Loomis had lived through the fire as well and had only passed on in recent years?

I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.
Yes, he lived. Marion took care of him. Never explained how he survived or what he looked like after II in the H20 new timeline.

Not sure why people keeping bringing up silly stuff like this. For those who missed it - Michael is not exactly human, I mean you should have gotten a clue in the first film when he survives having a needle stuck in his neck, getting a large butcher knife shoved into his chest, and then of course being shot 6 times at close range and falling from the balcony of a 2-story home.
