Why are they making Michael so brutal?


I thought the people behind these sequels was fans of the original and wanting to stay true to that movie, so why are they turning Michael into Rob Zombie's Michael?

Cause in that new Kills trailer i just constantly see Michael violently decimating people in very gory fashion, thats not what Michael was in the original movie, he stalked and picked his moments and his kills was not violently gory, he stabbed, he strangled, he slit a throat and that was it. You barely even saw any blood in the original.

But in Halloween 2018 you got him squashing a guys head with his foot, tearing peoples faces off, you got him disfiguring a guys jaw and tearing teeth out. In Halloween Kills he's impaling and lifting a fireman over his head, he's sawing a guys face in half, he's killing an old woman violently, and it looks like its more of the same of him just being over the top violent and gory which is not what the original movie was about.

I just don't like how they're making these sequels to the original but turning Michael into Rob Zombie's Myers. These movies don't even feel in the same universe as the original movie, feels like a completely different Michael, different Laurie, just none of this feels at all connected to the original.

I'm sure if the original had as much of a budget as they do today, it wouldn't have been so tame. I didn't get Rob Zombie vibes from Halloween (2018) at all.
