 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video I'm gonna talk about a serious problem that I feel the screen franchise has the screen franchises my most beloved Horror franchises the franchise and the film that got me into the horror genres I believe that was the very first horror movie. I sat down and watched as a young kid I fell in love with that movie fell in love with the cast fell in love with the chemistry between the actors and the actresses I loved what West Craven and Kevin Williamson brought to life with that project and then of course as I Grew up and watched other horror films I grew up on a plethora of horror films not just scream Chucky Freddie Jason Michael Myers leather face. I watched all those things leprechaun. I've been watching those movies since I was a young young kid The biggest issue that I have with the franchise though with scream is the fact that they never really are Doing anything that has to do with building a new cast and when I say building a new cast I'm talking about adding people who can be there right alongside Dewey Sydney Courtney or Dewey Sydney and Gale and None of these characters are people who need to necessarily die. Everybody loves Dewey. Everybody loves Gale Weathers Everybody loves Sydney. They they're the the centerpiece of this franchise The problem that I have is the fact that with each film the supporting cast comes and it goes it comes and it goes It comes and it goes we get a new set of cast members announced and we're basically just pointing out Okay, which one of you are gonna die first? How are you gonna die? When exactly are you gonna die in the movie? Are you gonna be the killer? That's all we know We know it's gonna be someone in the supporting cast is gonna be the killer We know they're all probably gonna die and we know that they're not gonna make it to the next sequel That's become like the shtick of the franchise and it's become kind of stale because While audiences me and myself included want to see a screen five featuring Neff Campbell Courtney Cox David Arquette with the story centered around Sydney Prescott in some way shape or form with All these would all the Woodsboro main trilogy main trio of characters coming back We need to have like a fresh set of stars that are there with them We have to stop this constant trend of having the supporting cast come and go come and go Several people from scream three are in love with the character that Parker Posey Parker Posey plays She plays she plays Jennifer in scream three. She's the on-star the Infim actual star who supposed to be portraying Gale Weathers in the stab in the stab three film That's under production in scream three So a lot of people are always talking about Parker Posey's Posey's performance in scream three I can only sit down and imagine what it would have been like Had that character of Jennifer had survived Jennifer Jolie if she had actually survived And we got to see her reprise that role in scream four possibly even now screen five Mark Mark Kincaid portrayed by Patrick Dempsey He developed he seemed like he was develop developing a love interest in Sydney Prescott at the end of scream three But then of course, we know he was supposed to be in scream four So I'm not really gonna knock them for this but at the time Patrick Dempsey had some other commitments He was more I believe involved with transformers Dark moon or not dark moon, but Transform yeah transformers dark of the moon. I believe was what kept Patrick Dempsey out of screen four They had plans for his character to be in the movie The biggest issue that I have with this franchise is the fact that there were the stars the supporting cast They just are not none of them are ever sticking. They're not coming along with Sydney Dewey and Gale They're all just here to die and then we get a new sequel with the same set of three characters And then another set of characters that we know are gonna know we're gonna die who were right there with them in the thick of things Screen four we have Kirby read a lot of people are so convinced that Kirby's dead But again in the original script heard her there's no death for her in the original script What had happened was Kevin Williamson His script had a scene where Kirby was going to be announced as alive Kirby survival was basically going to be Shot, but West Craven decided to leave audiences up in the air wondering about this character I fully believe they had every intention of bringing Kirby back with screen five Especially finding out what the original plans were from Kevin Williamson these past couple of weeks where he stated that he wanted to go to college Pretty sure this is either going to be a movie following Kirby or following Jill Roberts possibly both Sydney Prescott is much older. She's done with college as far as we know even though we don't really know if she actually graduated from it or not She's already been through the college setting. So we were either gonna follow Jill or Kirby My biggest gripe Again with the supporting cast is so many characters that audiences and fans of this franchise love to talk about and They are just not in either any of the subsequent sequels after their appearances in screen two screen three or screen four I hope someone from screen four is in screen five I think I feel like that would be an honest first for the franchise outside of of course cotton weary and Randy Meeks from the first two movies because Randy was in screen one cotton was in screen one They were both in screen two and they were both in screen three But outside of that, I don't think there's really been any supporting cast members that have stuck around past the film that they appeared in Joel screen two Gale where there's camera man. Everybody seems to be a big fan of his character I've heard rumblings back after screen four come out that he might return for a screen five Who knows if they even go through with that? Patrick Dempsey again already talked about him Detective Kincaid. They had plans to bring him back But his his schedule wouldn't allow him to come back Parker poses character Jennifer Jolie from screen three fans love that character, but they killed her So she can't come back Kirby Reed from screen four you can easily bring handy pants here back But the problem is I know hating pants here is going through it a lot going through a lot of things personally As far as I can tell from what the media reports about her life I just know she's going through some things at the moment. So hopefully she's able to reprise this role and Fans can have some excitement or something look forward to with the returning returning supporting cast member Outside of just having the the same old tired thing where it's just Dewey Sydney Gale and then a set of characters who we know are gonna get wiped out and one of them is Ghostface And then it's just gonna be on to the next one where you have Dewey Sydney and Gale with a new Ghostface killer A new supporting cast all of them are gonna die And then we're gonna move on to the next one Dewey Sydney like no And I know a lot of people want the series to go beyond screen six If you want this franchise to go beyond screen six You can't keep doing this this formula of just Sydney Dewey Gale Ghostface supporting cast Ghostface kill supporting cast on to the next We have Dewey Sydney Gale again back in Woodsboro back in this town Ghostface is doing the same old thing targeting Sydney that it's gonna become it's it's gonna become stale at a certain point These characters are fun. I love these characters. I want this Plan trilogy that we had for a scream for trilogy to actually be finalized let this be Something to close off the books with Sydney Prescott and with these characters and let us venture out into new things But we cannot do that if the supporting cast continues to be killed off and it continues to be Just characters who are not really There's no real focus on them because we know they're just there to be Ghostface victims We know they have like an hourglass, none of them have an hourglass that compares to the main three They're all just here for the sake of we needed a new cast because we killed off our old cast from From scream they killed off the cast from scream they killed off the cast from scream two killed off the cast from scream three And they killed off the cast from scream four So of course each movie you're gonna have to come up with new characters And at some point I feel like you need to stop that stop and ask yourself Which one of these characters in this new supporting cast do we want to keep and bring them into the thick of things for the next sequel? How are we going to utilize these supporting characters for the next chapter? Don't just kill everybody off somebody if they're gonna have a new supporting cast and nobody's returning once again Somebody in this new supporting has needs to stick around somebody has to stick around You cannot keep doing this tired stick of having Dewey Sydney and Gail Weathers at the center of all the attention and then they just have this predictable Plot scenario where we know they're shielded because they they have some like if you're a fan of GTA 5 You know what I'm getting at they it's like these characters are on God mode and everybody else is just a very low rank And they just started playing the game because all the other characters they just died they end up being ghost face ghost face gets caught and They either die or get caught That's why I'm saying I would like to see a screen movie where ghost face actually gets away with it Because I feel like that's gonna be the safest route for us to finally have a franchise or entry in this franchise Where at least one supporting cast member is gonna be in screen six or possibly screen seven Because of the fact that they they were one of the many one of the very few who in a rarity in this franchise where they did not die The screen franchise is again my favorite horror series. I love it to death But something has to be done in regards to them building new stars Because if you want this series to go beyond stream six you have to start thinking about the future You have to start thinking about where we're gonna go beyond just focusing on city because the character of Sydney Prescott She's already established as one of the best final girls in in the horror genre If you want scream to evolve and be around for a long period of time Into something that is gonna be speaking to the new generation and speaking to all these new Things that go on in the horror community. You can even dwell into put putting out as many crappy sequels as you want to I might not entertain the idea of them or even purchase them or add them to my collection I might just stop after Sydney Prescott story is done But if you have plans to build on that start building with screen five have some characters survive with Sydney doing in Gale Don't just kill everybody off and then go right back into the same old Tired scenario where we have Dewey Sydney and Gale again and a new ghost faces back A new ghost faces around new supporting cast new supporting characters No at some point some of these supporting cast members that are with these three main characters of ours that we know and love They need to survive some of them need to survive because then you could use these characters to then bridge off into telling their own story Without having to focus on Sydney doing again because you need to write sit down and write characters that audiences can get behind That they wouldn't mind seeing these characters carry the franchise because the reason why so many people don't have an issue with The story focusing on something other than city because the series has never added any other characters That is very interesting outside of Sydney doing a girl. We have Kirby. We have Randy We have all these people that we know are very interesting characters, but what are they? They're all presumed dead Randy's confirmed dead Kirby is assumed dead by many So like you have to do something different you have to you can't just have people get behind these characters And then always kill them use them to build into the future make if you want the screen franchise to go into the next gen You have to stop killing off all the supporting cast you have to stop doing that you have to build ahead of things and Get ready to prepare yourself to move on from Sydney doing a gale Let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe it's on a post notification so that you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You would like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys.
