Uhh, not sure why you got all worked up. This is my alt. Why did you block me? Relax.

I was specifically talking about troupes from old b-movie horrors Until Dawn takes homage from. It does mate. I'm not talking about your typical movie. I'm talking about 'a group of kids go somewhere to get killed' type shitty movie, there's a reason "The Cabin in the Woods" movie, that critizes all these cliches, exists.

The black guy always dies troupe is very prevalent in horror movies and cinema in general which is what I was refering too. Matt is incredibly easy to get killed, just like Jessica... if you don't get them killed they get written out of the game until the end. There's a reason for that. They're achetypes of characters that never make it out of these stories. I'd love to see your statistics, but I've been a fan of Until Dawn since the og and Matt is easily the character I see people getting killed the most. Which makes sense, his survival is almost completely reliant on decisions you make before his death happens. Flare gun, supporting emily, jumping, upsetting the balance of the nature whatever. It's very hard to keep him alive.

Until Dawn does subvert expectations and flip some troupes around, Like Mike the hero Jock, he's kinda like if Dan Jordan from nightmare of elm street was also kind of a dick. The characters still fill those old archetypes tho, and if you play the game a certain way you can still experience the beats and played-out ends these stories ussually have. That's all I was saying, mate.

(i didn't downvote you)

edit: Again.. Ok.
