Who Should've Lived and Who Should've Died?

I'd say Sam and Cole should've died with the others, while Jack survives along with Bill, Gail, and the monkey. Going into this movie, I knew Sam and Bill were going to live, but was not expecting Cole or Gail to. Cole should've died because he was annoying. Gail was irritating too, but she eventually becomes a stronger character. Sam, although I loved her, should've died because it'd be a "Why HER??" reaction. Jack was the bad guy, but him living would go against the same old formula of the bad guy gets what's coming to him. Instead of getting eaten, he gets knocked out and he is tied up on their journey home. Oh, and the monkey should've been the one that shoots the flare gun and ultimately killing the anacondas and saving Bill, Gail, and Jack.

What do you all think?

I think it is safe to say I would have liked Bill, Gail, and Sam to live. Cole, I feel like either they wanted to surprise us by making the annoying guy live, or just to have a black guy live, though I would have chosen Morris over him. I LOVE the climax though, and while I got a little worried Sam woulddie, I can see your logic on the whole "why her" thing and it would have been a good opportunity to have one of the anacondas go and wrap around her as she fell if they went thatroute, but other than that I was fine. I wouldnt have minded Jack living possibly. While hsi arguement at first seemed fair, it got over the top near the end so he needed to go lol. I thought Gail and Cole would die though

Life isn't a garden, so stop acting like a hoe

You know, they need to have the characters that you'd expect to die survive, and the characters that you expect to live get killed off. Maybe kill off Bill, too. He was obviously going to survive.

I'd have it as Bill and Sam survive it at the end. Bill gets his flowers and Sam is kind of angry at him but they still need each other to make it out of there.

The Monkey, Cole, Gail , Ben & Gordon should had definitely died.

Either Jack, Tran or both of them underestimate the jungle & get lost, find themselves in big mess or something and their whereabouts remain unknown at the end.

Jack should've lived for sure with probably Mitchell so they can invest in stocks and give the rest of us suckers eternal life !!
