 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here to talk about scream six in this video here again today going over Neve Campbell and Cindy Prescott for one final time Yes, this will be one of the final videos I do if not the final video I do on Sydney Prescott and the Neve Campbell aspect related to scream six Prior to it releasing which is nearing the four week mark beginning this Thursday if you live in the state Then you have your tickets going on sale this Wednesday So just to get into the topics of what I want to talk about Sydney Prescott We know will not be returning in scream six because Neve Campbell was offered something that she felt wasn't a great value in respect to her Importance to the franchise some of you who listen to me are also aware that I knew this before never even start it even stated It in an official statement I just never made a video on it because that was a very negative topic to discuss at the time And I just wanted to let things play out and let these things come from people like Neve who made a shocking statement That I didn't think she would make I was actually Shocked when she started mentioning that conventions even prior to making the statement though to be honest Nevertheless radio silence has stated also very recently that her absence has greatly impacted the story Although a lot can be said in the media in order to just play nice with the higher ups aka the ones writing the checks Which in this case would be spyglass So I'm going to preface this next bit by saying that we know scream six was written prior to screen five even releasing So it wouldn't be hard to then believe that guy and James have also probably either outlined a seventh movie and now Actively are writing the script for it or probably have already finished the seventh script as well Why does any of that matter? Well Recently Nick who runs screen trilogy a very dedicated and tremendous site for all screen fans who should go check that out Put out a series of tweets recently and thank you for the recent shout out By the way, I really appreciate that the most important tweet in this thread that I want to address is the tweet that Nick put out That says I can say with a hundred percent confidence that once her deal fell through the plan was to absolutely get her back for scream seven Now why would they be okay with her walking from six but want her back for seven? That's easy. The role of Sydney was greatly reduced in scream six much like how I Know that I was tipped off about Neve not participated in scream six due to pay I was also tipped off about her alleged role in the movie Which is why I don't care that she's not back because this role sounds absolutely terrible to me and so unlike Sydney So I'm gonna talk about that role in this video Admittedly I do trust that it would have probably played out better on screen because there might be missing context for sure I'm not the only one who was tipped off about this role though Nick over again at scream trilogy was tipped off about this role as well Sydney's role in scream six would have seen her show up at the very end of the movie once more like she didn't scream five But this time is to save Sam and Tara because she views them as family now Now what's wrong with that to the viewer that does not care how Sydney is written and just is desperate to have Sydney served on a silver platter with little to no seasoning of course they see nothing wrong with that of course They see nothing wrong with that to the ones who just want to see Sydney don't really care how she's written It's her franchise. She needs to be in it that crowd the ones who really don't care about the overall context maybe of how she's written Of course, they don't see anything wrong with that to me What's wrong is Sydney shouldn't be turned into someone who just randomly thrust herself into these sprees when she's worked So hard to earn that piece we saw her chasing and ultimately escape and receive kind of in a way in screen three when she capped it off But then she ultimately returned again in screen four to cap it off in an even better way with a Book titled out of darkness a symbol that her story is over and that her arc has just been finished What she did in screen five showing up as a last-minute save That was a special case. She did that for do it because he again was a special case Five also does a wonderful job justifying her significance to the story while also letting you know, it's not about her anymore It's about Sam Tara and these new group of kids that are tied to Billy Loomis But five did a great job at establishing Sydney's significance to the story During Sid and Dewey's very first phone call in that movie which ultimately makes her Appearance in the movie later on that much more rewarding and satisfying They're planting the seeds and do a great job at built building and working their way up to it And it's a justified one and done I would say the worst part of this Apparently is spyglass allegedly wanted nev back for six when she was never part of the plans for six to begin with But wait reports came out that there were plans for Sydney Yeah, those plans came after spyglass again allegedly pushed for her involvement in a script that we know was already written Prior to five releasing my problem there is I believe Guy and Jamie both know what they want to do with Sydney And wanted six to be a break for her before she returns as the co-lead with Sam and Tara for screen seven If not the co-lead she's going to be shift We're gonna shift the focus back to her and Sam and Tara would be dropping to the co-leads I think that they understand how important Sydney is I think they understand her arc and didn't want to use her in nostalgic cameos But spyglass said nah put her in there and then they botched the negotiations to secure her I believe this is true because of course radio silence isn't going to come out and just shit on anyone Responsible for writing checks or working on the project period. That's just not gonna happen So of course, you'll get remarks like oh it impacted the story greatly to not have Sydney present I mean the way filming started with little to no issue would indicate differently to me Almost as if a Sydney list draft was ready to go because that was the original one anyway That's why if you follow me on Twitter and I seem to not care about Sydney not appearing in scream six That's because I'm kind of glad she isn't if this is what was going to happen Sydney Prescott is either the focus co-focus or you leave her the fuck alone and let the new cast shine How she's used means so much to me And I think six could have just ended up being her works Weakest showcase and that just doesn't sit well with me The last minute inclusion would also explain why Neff Campbell probably felt the need to ask them for more money because it's like Hey, you want to add me in here last minute then pay me what I want or I'm out and I'll say good on her for that If that is what her mindset was sit this one out and come back in appropriate fashion for scream seven when that happens next That really legitimately seems as though that is what happened That is probably what ended up happening the fact that not only I was told about this, but a well-known fan site that has been around much longer than me scream Thrillogy who probably has a lot more better connections than me knew about this as well Makes me even more confident that that is what was going to be the usage of Sydney in scream six another baked cameo but Well, not it's not a cameo in this case. I would say it's a glorified Watered-down version of her more prominent usage in screen five because just showing up because you care about Sam and Tara now but with no real Establishments prior to that appearance. I just think it's terrible usage of her. I'm sorry You need to use her as the lead She needs to be the co-focus and be right there in the thick of things with them The narrative needs to be tied to her in some fashion too because if the killers have nothing to do with Sydney And she's just here that again is not how I how I think that character should be used I think she should be used the same way we've always seen her used in the past You either ask have her as the focus at the center of it with the killer Targeting her and have any motive connected to her or just let her go off into the sunset and admit that her story is finished Because using her like this is just not acceptable It's not and if you think that just throwing her in there just because she's Sydney press god is how to use the character No, that's not that's very terrible thinking Let me know something about this down in the comment section below if you have a record Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification numbers video in the description.
