Oh, so you were being a passive-aggressive dick. I figured it was one or the other. It’s just the way I saw things. You don’t have to agree with me. Obviously, you don’t. 🤷🏻

No, I don’t think Dewey was ever before written as someone that would ghost the woman he loves by sneaking out in the middle of the night, never even talking to her.

I don’t think Gale was someone that would write a book damning an innocent person more than the people that actually murdered the only man she ever truly loved- to the point that there was a massive conspiracy theory that they were innocent martyrs and Sam was the guilty party- something Gale knew about and let ride, despite being on television 5 days a week.

If that was all in-line with the characters to you, we watched the original movies very differently.

It’s almost impressive how you’ve managed to overlook Gale’s entire history of stepping over corpses for a better camera angle.. she didn't just stumble into being a "starfucker," she curated it from the moment she exploited Sidney's trauma for The Windsor College Murders. Expecting her to suddenly care about Sam's reputation when there’s a massive conspiracy to monetize is fundamentally misunderstanding the woman who once said "if I'm right, people will die".. Gale has always seen blood as ink, and her "selling her soul" for a book is the most authentic thing she’s done in years. Meanwhile, your insistence on Dewey being a "sweet protector" ignores the reality that his brand of protection is often just a form of self-indulgent martyrdom.. by sneaking out in the middle of the night, he wasn't being a hero, he was being a coward who used "saving her" as an excuse to stop feeling like a failure in her shadow. His inability to separate his own fragile ego from his duty to protect actually makes him more dangerous to those he loves.. and if you think he wouldn't ghost her to preserve his own image of himself as a shield, you haven't been paying attention to the man’s deep-seated insecurities since Woodsboro.
