Kevin’s traps in Home Alone 2 are straight up diabolical

Has me rolling every single time
Everyone jokes about serial killer Kevin but I actually think a better idea is Kevin being the government or some hitman agency's, go to person for when they need to take out a particularly hard target. Kevin baits, then lures the target to a predesignated spot that he's already filled to the brim with deadly booby traps. Of course the premise of the movie is him meeting his match. Maybe its another super hitman or maybe its an alien like the Predator. Either way slapstick comedy, brutal gory violence, and Kevin loving every disturbing moment of it from his control room somewhere.
It's one of the traps I never understood. Sure, there can be a lot of stuff in them, but how does it roll down a staircase without just tumbling over, and then crash through a door with enough force to push them into a wall?
I've decided to leave that question to the philosophers.
By that point Marv turns briefly into a skeleton while being electrocuted. It's fair to just not worry yourself with such detail.
So these guys get bricks in the face from about 10 stories high, electrocuted, burned, smashed, even fall off a building with not so much as a scratch...
The true question here isn't Kevin's decent into madness, but what failed Super Soldier program were these guys part of?!?
Kevin could've shot Marv point blank in the chest, and Harry would've kicked him in the head and said 'Cmon get up already!'

They're obviously undead ghouls who long since shuffled off this mortal coil but still continue to "live" but are forever cursed to be brutalized by children.
Marv and Harry died, but are now in hell being brutalized by a demon that looks like Kevin McCalister.
You should watch The Good Son. Honestly, with some imagination, the movie sort of works as a potential sequel to the original Home Alone.
Clearly you have little experience with the effects of a tool chest falling down the stairs.

Why do people always make these stupid faces for the thumbnails? This is why I don't click on them.
I love this post, because it reminds me that a movie or game or book doesn't have to stand up to critical scrutiny as a whole to have value, it can just mean something special *to you* - for whatever reason - and that's worth something. There's plenty of media that I loved because it captured my imagination or excited me in a special way, even if it's generally regarded as not great. I love reading recollections like yours that just throw away the cynicism and lets me sit in your shoes and experience a bit of the magic as you saw it.
Yep, when they're going through Kevin's traps in the second film, it's the third time they've tried to kill him (after the first film and their first encounter in the second film).
Analytics say that thumbnails the feature the face of the youtuber and have bright colors get more engagement so now most of them do that. Even AVGN went back and changed all the thumbnails on his videos from the past like 13 years to these types of abominations.
Many youtubers, like Linus Tech Tips, say they hate doing them but it works. And when you employ people and want to make sure everyone's happy, it's a small admission.
And as a viewer, I have more important things to be outraged at.
Enough electricity to see a skeleton....
Yeah, its a cartoon.
babys day out was so much worse in this aspect
Yeah, not outraged at it or anything just kind of feels shilly to me, like psychologists spent time tracking people's eye movement and and we have the info and we need to exploit that part of the human condition for views or however the hell they figured it out, it's manipulation but it's hard to argue there's an exigent harm to it, it's basically marketing.
I agree, but this kind of psychological "manipulation" exists everywhere in society.
The internal layouts of convenience stores is carefully considered to put products more likely to be impulse bought at the end of the store.
Even though I love 1 a bit more, I adore both. Timeless Christmas films. God knows how many times I have watched both and it still is an enjoyable, even emotional at times movie.
My favorite moments are with the old neighbor when they're talking about family in the 1st one and his moment with the bird lady in the 2nd. Some real shit in a kids movie.

Just assume Harry and Marv are functioning meth heads. Everything becomes crystal clear.
