Summary

This clause control a point of reference to suicide .

Everything about this sequel is cause for excitement . Burton is back in the director ’s chair , Michael Keaton is back in the function that made him a star , andWednesday ’s Jenna Ortega is joining the ensemble . Willem Dafoe is playing a spook detective , Monica Bellucci is play Betelgeuse ’s disdain ex-husband - married woman , and Burton used hard-nosed effects over CGI wherever possible . Beetlejuice Beetlejuiceis mold up to be an awe-inspiring movie – exactly the freaky , laugh - out - loud sequel that fans have been look for – butthe poke have me more or less confused , because they do n’t hold fast to the original pic ’s mythology at all .

Beetlejuice 2’s New Shrunken Head Characters Make The Afterlife’s Civil Servant Rules More Confusing

Does everyone in the Afterlife have a shrunken head now?

In the original flick , have got a shriveled head is treat as something of an oddity – it does n’t happen to everyone . Harry the Hunter is seen ride in the Afterlife ’s wait way with a shrivelled head , and it ’s adopt that his foreland was squinch by a enchantress MD . At the end of the picture , Betelgeuse irritates the same beldam doctor and end up with a likewise shrivelled oral sex . But the sequel seems to be double down on that joke and then some by giving everyone in the Afterlife ’s wait room a shrivelled head .

In touting the practical effects being used inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , Keaton referred to the shriveled headway room . If the Afterlife ’s wait room is now a elbow room full of hoi polloi with shrunken heads – and not just a bureaucratic office where one guy wire with a withered question once ended up – then it ’ll change the lore surround the Afterlife ’s civic servant . The original movie ’s dark mythology claims that mass who take their own lives terminate up as polite servant in the Afterlife , working at the cosmic equivalent weight of the DMV .

Now , it seems like they ’re all masses who crossed a witch doctor . And if that ’s the case , does that think the Afterlife is controlled by a witch doctor?Did a witch medico take over the human race ?

Charles Deetz’s Absence Already Seems To Break Some Major Beetlejuice Rules

Death isn’t usually the end in this franchise

Obviously , the mould ofBeetlejuice Beetlejuicecouldn’t bring back Jeffrey Jones as Charles Deetz . Jones is still live and take occasional acting roles , but in 2003 , he was charged with soliciting child smut . So , naturally , the team behindBeetlejuice Beetlejuicehad to figure out a fashion to write out his character , so they kill him off . But in the cause of this peculiar franchise , using dying to save out a part just create plot holes . This entire franchise revolves around the Afterlife . In the first film , death was the move incident in the master character ’ journeying .

Killing off Charles just begs more questions . If he ’s all in , why is he not in the Afterlife ? And if he is in the Afterlife , why is he not show on - screen ? Obviously , they had to find a way to remove Charles from the story and keep Jones out of the corps de ballet , but killing off the character was n’t the good way to go about it . This is a rarefied shell – perhaps the only case – where it would ’ve make fewer plot holes if he just moved awayand was never get a line from again .

How Can The Living Go To Saturn & The Afterlife’s Realm?

It seems as though anyone can hang out with the sandworms, living or dead

One of the most tantalizing , but also most baffling moments in theBeetlejuice Beetlejuicetrailers , is when Lydia and Astrid are transported to the gonzo wasteland of Saturn , where they ’re go after by a stripey blockade - motion sandworm . Beetlejuice ’s Saturn is designed like an even more surreal take onDune ’s Arrakis : it ’s a Brobdingnagian , empty desert landscape painting full of sandworms lurking underground . In theBeetlejuiceuniverse , Saturn is used to defend limbo – the outer space between life and death – andit ’s a berth where dead people who step out of wrinkle are institutionalise .

In the first motion-picture show , Adam and Barbara were first transported to Saturn when they tried to tread outside their house after they ’d died . It seemed middling clear that only dead people could be transported to Saturn . unrecorded people are allow to pace outside their house whenever they want ; only bushed people are frustrate by limbo . But intheBeetlejuice Beetlejuicetrailer , Lydia and Astrid – who , as far as we sleep together , are both alive and well in the movie – are taken to Saturn . I get using that setting to evoke nostalgia , but the livelihood ca n’t go to Saturn .

And go away beyond that , Lydia and Astrid are seen pay heed out in the Afterlife . I thought only utter the great unwashed could get at the land of the Afterlife . But inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , the living can seemingly go to the Afterlife for a holiday .

Was Lydia Seeing & Speaking To Ghosts In Beetlejuice Really A Unique “Gift”?

It seems like a common ability in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

In the firstBeetlejuicemovie , Lydia ’s ability to see and verbalize to ghosts is treated as a unique supernatural gift . Her power to pass with Adam and Barbara is suppose to make her special . But inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , it seems like most mass can communicate with the bushed . Perhaps the truly unique endowment was Lydia ’s parents ’ power to not see the ghosts . Maybe anyone who believes in ghosts can see themand anyone who does n’t ca n’t . It would make sense that Lydia ’s girl would inherit her ability to verbalize to ghosts ( although Lydia did n’t inherit it from her mother ) .

I’m Still Extremely Excited For How Beetlejuice 2 Is Expanding On Tim Burton’s Fantasy World

Inconsistent lore is a minor gripe – Beetlejuice Beetlejuice still looks like a ton of fun

I ’m still really mad to see where Burton give out withBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , and how he spread out the curious world of the original film . AndI’m indisputable all these change to theBeetlejuicelore will be explainedwithin the flick itself . We do n’t eff Charles is n’t seen in the Afterlife and we do n’t know Lydia and Astrid are awake when they go to Saturn . The mythology is n’t necessarily whatBeetlejuice Beetlejuicehas to get correct ; what it has to get good , above everything else , is the first picture show ’s ungoverned gumption of fun .
