Black people bitching about white people, yawn, can't black people sing another tune? So boring.
shareThat’s the best part
shareI think that it is meant to be satirical in part to the criticism over that the first had an all-white cast, and partly playing on the saying that the black guy always dies first.
shareYep exactly. A lot of Scream's meta goes over people's heads.
shareIt was actually really refreshing to have an all-white cast in Scream, it made sense too given that it was a rural, white picket fence town.
Screams 5 and 6 went hardcore woke with its new ultra-diverse Woodsboro, mixed race couples, minority armour for the leads, nasty deaths for white characters (including beloved straight white male legacy hero Dewey who gets skewered and hoisted into the air by a tiny girl) and of course exclusively white villains.
Needless to say, I don’t consider those films canon at all. Scream ends at 4 and died along with Craven.
I have not seen Scream 5 and 6 because I read that they have worse gore than any Scream ever made before. I already thought Scream 4 was bad enough with the Olivia kill, that one was a bit too much for me. I used to be able to withstand a lot in horror movies, but guess I've gotten more sensitive with age or something.
shareI totally agree with this. Scream 4 should have been the end of it. 5 and 6 are definitely not worth rewatching.
shareI always thought Scream 3 was the weakest, but that film is a masterpiece compared to 5 and 6.
I guess 3 is still the worst… since 5,6 and the undoubtedly shitty and woke 7 are not canon.
For sure. 3 is the weakest, but I love it for the fact that it shines a huge spotlight on how corrupt Hollywood was and is. It was literally calling out people like Weinstein 15 years before anyone else!
shareWe're you offended by the same scene in Scary Movie?
