Stu Macher Return To SCREAM Is Now Or Never

[@joshfactor1]

well, it's like he said: "i always come back"

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

And the thing about Stu is that he always comes out of nowhere unexpectedly he’s on top and he’s always on point with his killed and I think the reason why we want him to come back is because he’s so over-the-top that he could be a very great mastermind

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

Also, because he’s a massive threat and he is volatile and unpredictable

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

and with his personality, not only he’s influential and an important character, but he is also very special and he has also with his scary/funny personality actually gives the personality of a screaming ghost

[@danwoods8195]

this is why i keep saying Stu is almost 60, he not scaring anyone at that age imo. Let this man Cook before it's too late.

[@J-Man1313]

STU LIVES!!!! Stu Train!!! All aboard! Next stop Scream 7!!! STU! STU! Let’s Go as Craven would say!

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

And what could make him a great leader is his blend in and deceive about his true nature what makes him a great killer is that he manipulates and torment his own victims and that could make him great as a killer for going after Sidney

[@Climinator-op6kh]

If they don’t bring him back alive then I can see the mastermind being a Stu fan who has a shrine dedicated to him as they feel his ‘work’ is under appreciated.

[@matthewallen1957]

I feel this would be done better for a Roman story rather than Stu. The man acted alone and is the most underrated movie. Also tied with Sidney’s bloodline.

[@manoftomorrow79]

I'm going with "Never" we don't know yet how far ahead the time jump will be in Scream 7. Even if its set in 2026 that's 30 years after the original and too wide of a time gap. To possibly explain how Stu could still be alive. Nevermind the fact that Stu's death was overkill. Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson, and Matthew Lillard have all said in the past that Stu is dead.

[@ReaperKid-od7rw]

If he does return, it'll be shocking 😱

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

What could make him coming back as the mastermind in this movie is his unsettling presence

[@mychunkyjordi7585]

If he comes back I prefer the idea of him being changed now as I just don't see why he'd be back after 30 years 😊🐾💜👍

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

And I think that he must’ve been distrusted and felt a lot of resentment throughout his life, that’s why he became a killer

[@arronhoffman7992]

We had Stu breadcrumbs all throughout 5 and 6 though..

[@damianhbk1]

He hasn't been waiting for an anniversary kill, he's been in all the films in the background. 😱

[@jayshannon9706]

Despite y'all's opinions Stu could be back in scream 7 that pic of Matthew in the makeup trailer was suspicious and seeing Matthew's interviews about scream 7 was even more sus so I think he's in it this time

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

here is what I think is going to happen with Stu This is just a theory with mine I think the whole point with him as a killer is that he is harsh and unmerciful and cruel and compassionless and He’s not doing this for fun. He is just unsympathetic and that’s why he does what he does but also because he is outrageous sees himself as some type of angel of mercy

[@gay_ghostface]

@@WrestlingGod-f4v Angel of Death?

[@matthewallen1957]

Dude. Scream 5 and 6 were the breadcrumbs to Stu’s return.

[@holiday197]

Imagine how much of a red herring Stu would be only for someone else to be the killer. It may be disappointing to the fans who would want Stu to return as the killer but a redemption arc would be nice. Or maybe you could have a betrayal where Stu's partner shoots Stu as they want the spotlight now. But Stu manages to make a save for Sidney and her daughters in an Anti-Hero moment.

[@JodoKast1221]

Stu lives!

[@billymoore7182]

Stu is dead, buried, Sidney gave him no mercy. He ain't coming back.

[@ReaperKid-od7rw]

That's the realistic way of thinking, yes😂. But some think otherwise 🤷

[@ECEministry]

Never say Never

[@DunkaccinoJoe]

Maybe Stu was “reborn” when the tv fell on his head via electroshock

[@RioBroski]

I'll be right back! 😱

[@gdmav7775]

Any fan that is actually routing for him to return is blind to how next to impossible it would be to write it. If Stu was alive this whole time... 1. How could nobody know it? 2. How did he survive? 3. If he survived and was arrested, why doesn't Kirby know that? 4. If he survived and escaped, how did the dozens of cops, Medics, forensics, coroners, reports and the survivors themselves not notice this? 5. If he somehow avoided all of the above, where the hell has he been for nearly 30 years? All of that is to not even mention how him surviving Scream would diminish Sids triumph. He's an awesome Ghostface and loved character for a reason, but he NEEDS to stay dead. You can not write him back into the franchise without creating serious problems

[@danwoods8195]

redemption arc is dumb. Stu was cool because he did it for the lulz, not going to watch character assassination.

[@erickh82082]

NEVER! He’s dead, let it be. Don’t ruin the storyline because fans want him back.

[@jonathandoucet4485]

Scream 8 is coming

[@sgillman16]

Come back for what? He was Billy's fall guy. He didn't even know about the affair. He is literally irrelevant

[@potts9274]

please never- not to hate on those that want him back but it would just ruin the movies- as seen with part 6, which was written by fans of the original movies, sometimes incorporating fandom wishes into an already going narrative can ruin it. as much as i loved jill as a character and even though she was initially set to return, i would never want her to come back. as with Stu, we were shown a definitive death. going back to part 6, having stu return we be as ridiculous and stupid as having quinn coming back at the end and revealing she never died. all everyone did was moan about how unrealistic and uncreative that decision was and itd be the exact same thing if they brought back stu. to mention another main gripe about part 6, how everyone complained about neither gail nor kirby having the resources to know that bailey was ritchie's dad and that it was so far fetched and it would be the exact same thing with stu- you're telling me after almost 30 years that no one knew he was still alive, in jail, etc? i get its a popular notion but it would be jumping the shark to the extreme and overall a horrible idea because as you yourself so often complain about, it wouldn't be bringing anything new to the table but simply rehashing the past and clinging to it like it has no idea where to go from there.

[@brenb7153]

Completely agree with this. I’ve heard some wacky theories lately on what the writers may decide to do next or what the fans want, and most of what I heard would ruin the movies before. They need to focus on the future with this franchise not let it stay in the past, there’s a way to incorporate the past, like Scream 5 did with the carpenter sisters, while still focusing on the future of the franchise. I didn’t like the 6th movie because they turned ghost faces into killing machines and made it seem so unrealistic. at times I felt like I was watching an action movie, one of the fun things about scream is it’s unpredictable at times because the killer is just another clumsy human which in a strange way makes it more scary because it makes it more realistic, even though scream can be cheesy and funny at times with its dialogue, it shouldn’t turn into complete nonsense with dead villains or characters coming back, unrealistic action sequences, when there’s no finality to anything in a movie franchise it loses its stability and any seriousness it had to it is gone. Scream is corny at times but it’s also got a good foundation to it, but doing what I see a lot of these fans want, would destroy that. Scream is what it is, because it knows how to be slapstick at the right times and serious at the right times. But if it becomes too much of the other it loses its credibility.

[@potts9274]

@ exactly

[@paulutah9176]

I agree I like the redemption arc. Also it is easy to explain his absence if they go this way as he has been in hiding. Maybe the reason he reappears is to protect Sydney's daughters as it is the only way he can prove he has changed and earn a little redemption. Like you said it adds a good bit more weight to why to call her daughter Tatum. He would have to die though but like Roman he could go out holding Sydney's hand as he has done some good in her eyes at the end.

[@K.GotScents]

Stu’s nephew being killed in Scream 5 would be something interesting to play with.. A Stu centered story is one thing.. but bringing Stu back is as unnecessary as bringing the the emperor back in Star Wars .. it’s lazy writing

[@jovandudley4151]

Let the past be the past. let's not bring back past characters

Man he’s dead a dam tv fell on his face and executed his ass no way he survived that

[@joshfaruque8929]

I don’t want him to come back. It’s been so talked about these last couple years that his reveal would be more predictable than shocking.

[@brenb7153]

What? He had a 300 pound television crush him, how would he still be alive?….that would be ridiculous. I liked the character but at the same time if the writers decide one of them is dead, they need to leave it be unless they want this franchise to turn into complete nonsense.

[@stephenraeburn3263]

No no no!!! I’m so sick and tired of fan fiction making its way into franchise films. Stu is dead. Respect the franchise.

[@jovandudley4151]

I wouldn't want them to bring him back anyway he had his time 👎👎👎👎👎

[@gay_ghostface]

@@jovandudley4151 no he didn't. They scrapped the original script for Scream 3 created by Kevin Williamson due to Columbine.
