Chucky has stuck the landing with Glen and Glenda.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Season 2 of Chucky.Early on, Chucky made it clear that any character from the franchise's history may make an appearance. From the return of Andy Barclay himself to fan-favorite Tiffany Valentine, the series is a love letter to its most loyal followers.
Glen and Glenda's Odd Origins When Glen and Glenda joined the picture in Seed of Chucky, the franchise was in its horror-comedy era, which originated some of its most distinctive aspects. While its predecessor, Bride of Chucky, achieved cult classic status for its unexpected humorous direction, Seed of Chucky became infamous for its deeply bizarre comedic choices— chief among them being the characterization of Glen and Glenda.
A Problematic Portrayal From Psycho to Silence of the Lambs to Sleepaway Camp, the horror genre has a long history of portraying feminized characters played by male actors as unhinged killers motivated by their ties to womanhood. Although these characters are rarely explicitly transgender, they are coded as such, and that may as well make it so to viewers who don't know the difference.
If Seed of Chucky were given the benefit of the doubt, it could be the case that this portrayal was meant to mock films like Psycho. After all, it is played for laughs.
