2 ideas for Ghostface we haven't seen yet that I want in the next/a future Scream movie:

1. A returning Ghostface. With an obvious preference for Stu Macher. Just someone's double tap didn't work or some fun movie logic where they survived. We get those little teasers at the end with a Ghostface flash which always gave me a little bit of "but did they really die?" Instead of an "there will always be another" thought. So it could be interesting to see an old Ghostface actually pop up, and Stu would be perfect. Lillard wants to be back, fans want him back and I think his return would be the perfect way for a cult of Ghostface to work, because who better to have that kind of following than the only living og?

2. A returning character as Ghostface. Almost got this with Kirby but it was a fake out. But a character who has survived before being Ghostface. It's talked about a lot but never actually happened. Each Ghostface has been a new character for that film to the point where we all sort of assume it'll always be one of the new cast members. I personally would love to see Tara be Ghostface. With Sam trying to so hard, specifically for Tara, to cut off that serial killer side, it would be so interesting and shocking to see Tara be the one who embraces it. But this idea, if it happened, makes me wish they wouldn't have used a "fuck the movies" Ghostface already :/

I really like the idea of resurrecting killmonger to be the Black Panther, and would not at all be mad about it. It would make sense in a way now that Wakanda is actually being invaded, seems like a perfect time to let Killmonger loose. But I doubt it'll happen. Unless he never actually died, if he has to be resurrected, 1. We saw how resurrection and playing with life and death is an almost cursed act in MoM when Strange used his own dead body and 2. It too easily creates the plot hole of "well if they could resurrect Erik, why not resurrect T'Challa?" Obviously we know the actual reason from a filmmaking stand point, but it brings up a lot of questions and lore that would need to be ironed out in universe for most* audiences to accept it.

I think the top 3 candidates for the new Black Panther are; Killmonger, Nakia, and Shuri. Killmonger is just #3. We see the physique at the end of the trailer so it's too small to be M'Baku, but Nakia is a trained fighter, and Shuri seems to have put in some muscle mass, Okoye could also take the role and would do well, but she seems to be less diplomatic, so I wouldnt count her unless we assume the Black Panther/King/Queen roles are separated, which I do think is likely, and I doubt that they would introduce a new character to take on such a role.

*most because some people love to point out plotholes and ex machinas instead of just enjoying fantasy films for the unrealistic fantastical elements and leaps in logic 🤷🏽‍♀️

lin manuel miranda as a 3 year old would rap things like “Googoo Gaga mama I don’t mean to cause much drama but I’m under goin trauma from what’s underneath my bed, there’s a monster sized iguana and it smells like marijuana i know it’s fake but i don’t wanna see it messing with my head” or something

Eleven calling Brenner a monster to his face instead of herself, and refusing to validate him in his dying moments even after he released her. Like yes girlie, recognize that your abuser is manipulating you even in his final moments, that him releasing you doesn't count when he was the one who put the collar on you in the first place, that you can have a connection with your abuser, feel sad even in their hurt and death, but that doesn't mean that they didn't abuse you and your own safety and piece of mind is worth more than making the person who hurt you feel comfortable, recognize that other people put you in the position to do terrible things and while you take accountability they also need to take accountability which he clearly wasnt by trying to use you to wipe away his guilt by validating his actions as "for good"!! 👏👏👏

NOT TO MENTION how then she watched Max struggle with the same complex emotions of dealing with the death of an abuser that you were close to. Dealing with the regret, and guilt, and envy, and catharsis, and relief, and just that insane mix of everything. Listening to Max say about Billy exactly how she felt about Brenner was just so good.

God, I loved the season finale for stranger things... but (rant incoming) I really need to stop trying to engage in the community for shows like this. Your fave dying isn't bad writing. I've been seeing people call Eddie's death a cheap or low shot, or a shitty way to tie up his story. Have you ever written a story before? You know why everyone knew he was gonna die? Because his character arc was literally written for that end. A good character arc means evolution. The "coward" to the hero. Eddie was a self described coward, MULTIPLE TIMES he says that he's not the hero (honestly if any writing was bad it was how much that hammered that point home to make his end obvious) and by the end of the season died a hero. Yes he died for a town that hated him, that's the POINT. He was a hero. He died not for the glory, not for the praise, but because it was the right thing to do. Not every story needs to subvert expectations or have a twist, especially with max *maybe* getting to make it out alive, the Hopper fake out from the end of s3, Eleven and Brenner's fakeout at the end of s1, the Steve fake out death this season. There are no stakes if every death is a fake out, if every sacrifice can just be reversed. What's the point in ever caring for these characters or being fearful or worried if we know they're gonna all be okay in the end?

I get your fave comfort character dying is a fucking blow. I literally just finished watching it and my eyes still sting from my tears from Eddie's death, which was the first time I cried during the finale and I had to pause it to gather myself as soon as I realized what was happening. But to say it's bad writing is taking it too far. Hell, the writers wrote the rest of the character that you fell in love with, that writing wasn't bad was it? Stop insulting and dragging the people who provide us with the content we enjoy. The artists behind these shows, actors, writers, crew, everyone, work together to create these beautiful pieces and to go on Twitter immediately after and bash it because you didn't get your fanfiction ending? Come on now. There is plenty of content that will give you that and you think that the *checks notes* horror series that rips from every big horror movie of the 70s/80s, is gonna give you happy endings for everyone?

Eddie is beautifully written, and a big part of that beauty is the journey he went on to get the death that he did. Yeah we saw no one but his Uncle and Dustin honor him, but those were his closest relationships, seeing them honor him means the most. Seeing his Uncle be told that Eddie died a Hero, means so much more from a writing standpoint then seeing Eddie wake up in a hospital where, what? He would probably be handcuffed to the bed and still take the fall for all the murders as cover-up/assumption, because how in the hell do you expect anyone to convince an entire town, that's already convinced its the metal head D&D player during the height of the Satanic Panic in the 80s, that oh.. actually a gas leak or bear killed all your kids and mangled their corpses 🙈 Occams razor, a very VERY common tool in writing, a philosophical rule, "the best/most likely answer is usually the simplest one". Eddie being the killer is the simplest and fastest answer, especially when the majority already believes it.

I don't know why I'm going so hard on this... just... just because it didn't turn out the way you wanted, does not mean it's bad writing. I think a big geoup of these people aren't horror fans, stranger things kind of is an anamoly of horror to such a big mainstream scale, in pop culture in a way where non-horror fans enjoy it, to the point where I've literally seen people surprised at the gore and threaten to stop watching. I'm not saying horror isnt mainstream, definitely not, just that usually when people dont like horror they dont engage, but somehow people still do with this. I watched this show, the first season, the day it dropped, and didn't think anyone was gonna watch it and it'd sadly be canceled after season 1. But these people who don't watch or engage with horror watch it and expect something completely different. I definitely love that it's so mainstream and has so many fans because we wouldn't have gotten this much if it didn't but some of yall must've tripped and fell into this for the 80s aesthetic or just watched it for the hype cause you're not watching it for what it is, a big giant ass kiss to classic horror. Classic Horror where there is a final girl, not group, singular girl. Where she runs the final girl Gambit, seeing the dead bodies of all her friends along the way. Screaming her head off, pulling her hair out, covered in blood, fighting for her life, and just barely stumbling away from a killer who watches her the entire time. Watches her disappear with her sanity barely intact, planning their next move. Halloween, Chainsaw, Nightmare, Alien. Yes a good mix of The Goonies, ET, Breakfast Club, and those family friend 80s romps are all paid homage too, but horror is a BIG chunk.

Ultimately people can say whatever shit they want, and if they genuinely believe that a character who was literally introduced to meet this end shouldn't have died and that ruined this season for them, then sure, whatever, live your truth. I will however defend this choice. I loved this season, I absolutely adored Eddie, and I loved this end for him. I can't imagine a better way for him to go out in a horror series where life is not guaranteed (maybe aside from Eleven, Dustin, Lucas, Mike, and Will (barring s5)). I totally get being critical. I didn't like everything this season. I could've done with so much less of the military/Russian plot lines. I didn't like how some characters developed. But that doesn't mean the writing is overall bad, and that I need to go to Twitter and all socials and be sure the writers see hoards of unconstructive hate before any praise. Like at the very least (especially if you somehow got through reading all this and feel the need to argue with me) explain why it was bad AND offer the solution. If I saw anyone saying, oh it would've been better if Eddie would've done this or that, or if this could've happened, and it would've made since, then that'd be something else. But all I've seen is people poo-pooing it because "Eddie didn't deserve that"... of course he didn't! Its greta that you have empathy But boy is also fictional, and the artists behind this series, who do indeed go online to see reactions, are real people who will be affected by you calling them bad because they didn't read every fans mind and write them a personalized finale. God... every copy of stranger things is personalized.

Honestly some of yall are probably just those same toxic star wars fans and j need to stop giving you my energy. This isn't good for me 😮‍💨 but I want to rant too. Maybe I'll make another rant post about all the stuff I absolutely loved like NOAH SCHNAPP'S ACTING OMG THAT BOY CAN CRRRRYYYYY! GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS 💐 💐💐

Every youtuber stays pronouncing Aisha, Kamala's great grandmother as "Ay-ee-sha", it's "Ay-sha", Sana and Najma, who would know how to pronounce it, both pronounce it Ay-sha. Same with people pronouncing it "Ka-ma-la" (like the useless US VP), its "Kuh-mah-la" a subtle difference but that means it's not hard to pronounce them correctly.

I dont care if they are just characters. These are real names, that real people have.

Soooo.. I think that One originally tried to recruit Eight/Kali to join him and help him escape. He gives us the only mention of her this season, and Eight seems to be one of the most powerful subjects, along with Eleven, One, and I guess, Two.

My idea is that One went to her to start his plan of taking over, and approached her in very much the same way he did Eleven. Told her how to heighten her powers with an angry memory (which is exactly what Eight tells Eleven to do in season 2). However when they got to the escape part, Eight didn't fall for the guilt tripping. She is older than Eleven, and she definitely has much more self preservation, so as soon as she saw the way out she took it, didnt try to save One or take him with her, and that's how she escaped.

After this One probably meandered for a while before settling on Eleven. Younger, and powerful. Maybe he's actually the one who got Two and the others to bully Eleven, to isolate her so his apparent kindness would be even more appealing because I don't know how much I can believe that Brenner was actually allowing Two to act like that.

One was able to more easily manipulate Eleven because he had done the trial and error with Eight.
