Think Carpenter wanted to keep at least his physique and presence fairly run of the mill rather than make him into a glorified incredible hulk.
I'm 6'6" so Mane's Michael would be more imposing in person than the original. The original film is better and Myers is scarier in the context of the film. But if I encountered both in real life Mane would make me shit myself much harder.

I also don't see how he turned into an average slasher. They removed the being of pure evil that exists in the shadows until the very last minute, but he was still more developed than most characters in most slasher movies. I'd be disappointed if Michael were the face in the shadows again, because unless there were a different interpretation of the character the movie would be... Boring. I try not to use the word "pointless" for a movie because really, what makes one movie more important than the other?

The original is my favorite movie, but it still exists so I can watch it at any time. So I'll gladly give a new interpretation a chance, can't hurt a thing.
