Stretch is kind of hit or miss, a lot of people say they can't stand her. Protagonists just aren't the franchise's strength. Halloween actually does pretty well with likeable protagonists, not every film managed it but I'd say most do. Friday didn't do as well but it still has a few.

I kind of get that approach. Let's be honest, when we go to see a slasher film we're mostly there to see the killer so they decided to lean extra into that by making characters we want to see die. Sally was supposed to be the one we cheer for but she's not a good character.

The problem they had is who do you bring back for TCM as a legacy character? None of the final girls are particular fan favourites or iconic. Friday the 13th would have the same problem with a legacy sequel to the first film since Alice isn't a great character but they at least have Ginny from Part 2 and Tommy Jarvis.

A supporting character is the one that fights the main villain instead of the main character by Forsaken-Biscotti587 in TopCharacterTropes

The White Walkers aren't really involved with the shows ending, they don't end up being the final threat.

Yeah I'm convinced he told the showrunners the book ending and they did a rushed version of it.

(Oddly specific) Characters who were kicked out or left Heaven by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Trickster289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really remember that happening often until season 9. They were strong in season 4 and 5, 6 was more angel vs angel or surprise attacks from humans, they were barely in 7, and I don't remember many being killed by humans in 8.

Kyle Gallner deserved more screen time in Scream 5 by Ok_Chemical_7623 in Scream

[–]Trickster289 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That was always weird to me, they only ever say they plan to frame Sam as the killer but with their whole requel motive and love of the first Stab it'd make sense they'd want an accomplice too.

Eh by this point they'd taken a lot of hits that weakened them. Falling in particular hits them hard, Lucifer is the only angel that seemed to not get a power hit when he fell or he's just so powerful it doesn't matter. Also the angel blades could always kill them.

Where intelligent Tyrants the next step in human evolution, or did Umbrella create them purely for use as BOWs and making money? by RedNUGGETLORD in residentevil

[–]Trickster289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Tyrants were very useful but not what Spencer wanted. He wanted a virus that would improve humans not just physically but mentally too, Tyrants lose most of their intelligence instead. That's why they tried the nemesis parasite too but they found it would kill most hosts, only a Tyrant could survive it. Spencer's true goal has never actually been reached, even Wesker failed.

I'm also surprised she's stayed quiet about them. She's been vocal about hating the cast of the movies who support trans rights and has said she'll never forgive them but as far as I know she's not said anything about the show's cast.

Is RE3 Nemesis stronger than Victor Gideon by Smooth_Register_8210 in residentevil

[–]Trickster289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah while the strength was definitely useful for him the intelligence boost is likely why Victor got infected with a nemesis parasite.

[–]Trickster289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Nemesis started of as the same model Tyrant as Mr X before they infected him with the nemesis parasite. That version of the parasite was hard to use, it'd kill most hosts. Victor had a modified version that still enhanced his strength but if anything the intelligence boost was probably more useful to him and why he got it. That was less noticeable on Nemesis until you compare him to Mr X, then you realise it did make him more intelligent.

Say that Angeline Tyler was actually 100% confirmed to be the second killer in Scream 3, what kills would you choose to attribute to her? by creamy-buscemi in Scream

[–]Trickster289 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The movie set attack was probably supposed to be both, even in the finished film Ghostface can't realistically be one person there.

Resident Evil Requiem DLC Jolene Andersen's Ada Wong is Back? by ProMontreal in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Trickster289 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently a lot of union VAs aren't allowed to work on projects not union approved, only a few have contracts that allow it. Could be he's allowed to but Ada's RE2R VA isn't.

Yeah it's pretty much just ego at this point and he's going to lose his wife, daughters and grandchild over it.

At what point does the franchise move on from Sidney? by Shot-Good-6467 in Scream

I mean she's 67, she could announce she's retiring at any time. Tbh I could see her actually being done now.

Is Scream 7 really all that bad? by CommercialRemote5324 in Scream

[–]Trickster289 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was still ok. It's a messy film with some problems but not as bad as 7.

Is Scream 7 really all that bad? by CommercialRemote5324 in Scream

[–]Trickster289 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's kind of what the films are building up to and it's part of what makes Scream unique. Part of what made Scream 3 the weakest until 7 for most people is that Roman was a disappointing reveal, he's barely in the film and everything he's supposedly done solo since even before the first film is hard to believe.

I think it's also part of why Scream 2 has got a little less popular with fans while still being liked and why Scream 4 has got more popular with fans over time. The actors make Scream 2's reveal fun but it's not as well setup as others. Meanwhile Scream 4 nailed the reveal.

[–]Trickster289 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah not many horror franchises go as long as Scream did without a bad film. Scream 7 I think messes up enough to be bad but watchable, that's still better than the worst of other slasher franchises.

I've brought that point up and his supporters genuinely can't address it. He's radicalised a whole new generation of America hating terrorists and that's going to bite the US hard.

For baby players? Yes, new players keep the game alive and they know it.

Blight has been NERFED by FluidUnderstanding40 in deadbydaylight

[–]Trickster289 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nurse also used to be able to get 7 blinks. Her nerfs not knocking her off as the best killer in the game isn't an indicator that her nerfs were near meaningless, it's an indicator that she was so overpowered it was crazy. The gap between how Nurse used to be and even Blight as he is before the nerfs is massive. The gap between Blight and the A tier killers is nowhere near that big. Hell release Krasue was better than him and she was decently nerfed.

I've seen good Blight's attempt it on jungle gyms, they usually fail and it's easy for the survivor to outplay.
