(Spoilers) Even a woke person would find this too woke if they have any common sense.


Where to begin, they start the movie off by killing the stereotypical ' nice white girl/ final girl ' character within like 5 minutes. The rest of the film is basically any white person is either dumb, gets killed or is evil. The black characters are all somehow invincible, Ghostface has no interest in killing them, just wounding them. They were clever, here and there they tried to make the white characters shine a bit, but it was painfully obvious they're trying to hijack this franchise and make the new heroes black.

Make your own black movies if it bothers you so much that most of the greatest franchises are white ideas. Oh wait, you lefties have Jordan Peele, and to his credit he started off really well but people are starting to realize his movies are marketing pushes and media hype, it died off as quickly as it came. Nobody and I mean nobody is ' excited ' for the next Jordan Peele horror feature. This is why Hollywood is going after these traditional franchises and trying to replace the white mains with black mains.

The scream franchise came from the late 90s, that same decade we had Candyman, you're probably wondering wtf does that have to do with Scream? Well see that illustrates the point perfectly. Candyman had blacks and whites in the movie, it was a horror classic, everyone black and white loves the 1992 movie, in there blacks and whites are portrayed as nothing more than characters, no special political crap or agendas, just a cool horror movie with some hood and black elements.

Scream was just white people getting murdered for the most part, a silly slasher with some clever commentary on horror. Again, no political crap or agendas. This new breed of horror (if you can even call it that) is made with a specific agenda in mind, to trivialize white characters as heroes or important in a story and to push ideas about black resilience in some weird convoluted and obviously politicized way. As such I can no longer spend money on this crap, this was the last time. Seriously, every black character in the movie is either smart, cool or daring while most white characters bar like 1 is of any real significance, the story or Ghostface itself almost takes a backseat which is just weird.

You’re not wrong.

1. Your obsession with the race of the characters is your own problem. Nobodyvl serious cares.
2. It's okay if we have people of color in horror. As long as they can act, it's all good.
3. The opening kill was shot well and the followup to it was fun.

Hollywood puts political stuff in movies. They always have. Just listen to the leftwing opinions of the horror community in the 'in search of Darkness' documentaries and you'll realize it's nothing new. People are just over-sensitive to it nowadays because they listen to too much political talk to move on. Left or right: if you think a characters race is more important than the actor's ability, you're being a racist. Both sides use race for praise or condemnation. For the rest of us, we're just watching a movie.

2. First part is true. None of them can act in this movie. Major problem.

Tbh if you don’t notice the interesting choices they make for characters(in terms of race or gender) then you sir are blind. Trust me, I was told this years ago but I laughed it off and called them
Paranoid. The last few years though I’ve seen it and once you see it you can’t unsee it

Nail on the head. I’d learned from Scream 5 never to pay for this racist woke garbage, and sure enough 6 delivered in spades. 7 won’t be getting my hard earned either.

When Hollywood drops the patronsing politics and gets back to entertaining people they’ll be welcome to my money again.

reply

Yeah guys I try not to complain about woke nonsense in movies and tv but I keep telling the people that do to STOP paying money to the industry that is delivering that message! You can’t expect them to learn if you keep giving them
Money I have not given Hollywood a dime in years

reply

I do notice the identity politics in so many
Movies these days. You can tell that race and gender is very important to how they write certain characters. It’s unfortunate because it’s pretty obvious at this point

Btw the “plot armor” that the main actors have is beyond dumb. I’m fine with the 2 main girls surviving but the lesbian and other guy surviving just left me bowing my head on shame at how ridiculous it was

The main problem I have with the new Scream movies is the charm is mostly gone and I honestly do not give a shit about any of the core characters. I wouldn’t have cared if they were all killed in part 6

reply

This shit will only go away when everyone stops screaming about what colour everyone's skin is all the time.

reply

Skin colour never used to be an issue… then the wokies came along.

reply

Scream 7 should be the last one.

reply

I watched this and didn’t once even think about race or politics .. it was just a silly slasher to me
