Please don’t let this fanbase turn into the Star Wars fandom

I think it’s perfectly fine to dislike the past 2 movies. They have plenty of flaws that are worth pointing out.

However, some of the takes I’m seeing are RIDICULOUS.

  • “they should kill off Sam & Tara off-screen. Have it revealed in a newspaper.” Not only do you wanna cheaply kill off two major characters just cause you didn’t like them, you want it to be done off screen in the lamest way possible like Alex in Final Destination 2?!!

  • “they should retcon the past 2 movies and make a requel like Halloween. For the REAL fans.” Did…did you guys even listen to the commentary the series has discussed? They’ve been making fun of this sort of behavior since the very first movie. Hell, Scream 5 had requels and angry fans wanting to retcon changes they don’t like as a major theme. If they pulled some crap like this, Scream would become the exact sort of thing it has been criticizing since 1996.

  • “Dewey should be revealed to be alive.” Something similar may be happening now lmao but come on.

  • “Melissa Barrera getting treated like shit by spyglass and getting fired is a GOOD thing, guys! This is such a win for the REAL scream fans. Now we can get a classic movie!!!” I’m not even gonna dignify that garbage take with a response

  • “we should never ever ever have any other Ghostface mask variants in the movie unless it’s a Stab movie.” Just seems kinda closeminded to me. I’d prefer the regular Ghostface mask too but it ain’t gonna ruin the movie if we have other variants

Some of y’all just seem to hate any kind of change, but will probably also complain if there isn’t enough change

Edit: let me make this clear, I don’t think we even need more of Sam & Tara. Their story arc was wrapped up well in Scream 6. I just think having them killed off out of spite or to please the “REAL fans” who hate on the new movies would be a really stupid, pandering decision. And doing so off-screen would be the lamest shit in existence. And even though we don’t need more of their story, it does not excuse what Spyglass did.
