SCREAM - WHY the Ghostface killers are ALWAYS defeated easily...

[@ethandoyle4978]

I think we can all agree the common error all the killers made was giving into their motives / monologue s after revealing themselves and underestimate their victims will to fight back .

[@lightdarksoul2097]

Yeah most of the time I think after killing so many they just don't expect much from Sydney by the end but they underestimate her want to live and usually revenge on them

[@therobloxmonkey6704]

Personally it's because they reveal their identities. Ghostface is supposed to be much like other slashers, undefeatable. But once you realize that he/she is just a man in a mask (albeit with some psychotic tendencies, but STILL A HUMAN BEING), there really isn't a point to be afraid or as scared as when they kept the mask. To put it in other words, once Ghostface reveals his/her identity, you know they're screwed either way.

[@freddiefoxx7884]

Don’t forget even if Sidney died in part 4 Jill gave herself up to Dewey unknowingly when she said her & Gale have the same stab wound.

[@MaryTheresa1986]

She could've denied saying that though and it would've been he said/she said.

[@dylanohalloran7651]

I feel like a majority of the killers leave too many survivors to explain their motives too, and not completely confirming everyone is dead

[@calebgraham6166]

I think Roman Bridger and Jill Roberts were the only 2 who could've gotten away with it. Roman made 3 mistakes: 1. He should've killed both Dewey and Gale when he had the chance. 2. He should've finished off Detective Mark Kincaid. 3. He was missing during each other attack except for the Mansion Murders like what's his alibi if he goes missing during each other murder. And even if he successfully kills Sidney what's he going to do next. He didn't have an afterplan just a in the nowplan. Jill Roberts made 3 mistakes: 1. She talked to Dewey about her and Gale's matching stab marks. In which Gale responded "How she knew that?" Then Gale had that look and then Dewey caught on like "Shit!!!!" 2. She should've made sure that Sidney was dead and check the other victims out to make sure nobody else was dead aka a good example: "Kirby Reed". 3. The way she acted was like scripted together and not out of pure emotions.

[@ismackshortkids]

The third one for Jill confused me, wym she acted was scripted together and not pure emotions? Are you referring to when she explained to dewey what happened at the house and mentions that she saw trevor and charlie kill sidney? Please elaborate

[@myersfan5043]

[@drizz847]

They always reveal their identities and motives. That’s where everything for them begins to fall apart. Once the mask comes off and all their plans revealed it’s all down hill from there. Would like to see for once a Ghostface killer whose identity is never revealed, i think it would shake things up for the franchise.

[@PRESIDENT_LEMON]

Nah I’d have to disagree with scream 1, I think their main error was stabbing each other before killing Sydney, that made them too weak when hunting her down, especially Stu, a physically fit man and much bigger than Sydney, if he wasn’t wounded I think he would of been able to grab Sydney and kill her, then they could of continued their plan. Also this video made me notice that with a few more throat slits the killers could of won, like Stu could of cut gale’s throat so she bleeds to death and makes sure she dies, Jill should of also cut Sydney’s throat or hell why not cut her head off? No coming back from that 100% plus that would get her rage out on her, but I can understand Jill because she seems to be a more hands off psycho as I think Charlie did most of the killings, I think Jill didn’t actually want to get her hands dirty more than she needed to so only did the stabs.

[@magnusspqr9107]

Scream 1: Lack of proper coordination seeing how they lost sight of sidney and wasted two opportunities to kill randy Scream 2: Betrayal, like Nancy really thought she could fight everyone by herself Scream 3: No actual plan to kill sidney + yapping for too long Scream 4: Betrayal + no double tapping. Man she was super close to getting away with it Scream 5: Revealing themselves with too many survivors left, thus getting overpowered Scream 6: Poor battle iq and handling of the final battle

[@StarshineGoomba]

Yes, those are all good reasons, BUT I think that the insistance on doing in person monologues is what really screwed all of them. Like... record a video and run away and go into hiding or something. Or in the case of the accomplice, just leave before the monologue, like I fully believe Angelina Tyler did.

Randy too was still alive because Randy would've stated that Stu and Billy were the killers and would be in jail.

[@kingbull8880]

We need a scream movie where at least one of the killers get away unknown

[@tishypoo]

Because they just sit there talking instead of killing. Then, when the object of their kill insults them, they get pissed and the heroine wins 🎉

[@tycemo707YT]

I feel like Billy and Stus main mistake was hurting each other before killing Sidney. If they would've waited to stab each other they would've had enough energy to 2v1 Sidney without giving her injuries to abuse against them. Det Baileys mistake was not shooting Sam but instead sprinting after her, and the entire "im gonna kill everyone and blame you" speech

[@zachboardman736]

One of the top reasons, near completing what they set out and because everything had been going according to plan, they get cocky and lose their A game. However, I wouldn't say with Roman and Jill as they were the closest ones to actually kill Sidney

[@icaliver]

Actually, it’s like my friend who hated scream said, “They should stop talking and explaining everything and just on with kill the main character”. He was right but reminded him it’s a satire. Don’t take them to seriously or the series will make a part 6 or 7. That was over 25 years ago.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

I don't know if you did already but you should do a video where they should have automatically knew the killers were the killer buy certain clues or scenarios

[@ReaperKid-od7rw]

Agreed😂👍. The Ghost Face(s) on 7 should definitely be smart in their type of physical protection

[@BrandonJames2016]

I remember seeing a fun little theory that ik it’s not correct but it’s funny saying that the ghostface costume is supernatural making the killers faster, stronger, and can take hits but the moment the mask is off it’s easy going from there to kill the killer. Since we’ve had plenty of killers who don’t look strong yet when we know who is under the mask in the certain scene it’s like how did they do that💀. Scream 5 and 6 has been very guilty of this.

[@grace19005]

Scream isn't supposed to be 100% realistic anyways. There are some things that should be overlooked like the height of Ghostface not matching the actual killer cause it's obviously a stunt double. Same thing goes for Quinn lifting Gale's boyfriend up and throwing him. Would she have been able to do that irl? Probably not but again, it's a movie lol and female killers can be strong and shouldn't be discredited on any way

[@LosMSR]

BC all happen in a short period of time, this will rush events, and criminals will make mistakes, also if there are more than one criminal, even more easy that this will happen.

[@etherealdreamerart]

Always wondered why Ghostface just doesn't bother revealing who they are and just go in for the kill. No phone calling. Just stalking and fear.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

It's usually for revenge on Sydney for this or that or on Sam. They want them to know that they were beaten though that leads to their own defeats

[@ismackshortkids]

It's simply for plot reasons.. if alot of stuff that happens in the movies didnt actually happen such as the killers stalling time and wasting their time chasing and taunting their targets, they could easily kill them right away and get away with it but then the movie would only be 30min to an hour and it wouldn't be a good movie

They always defeated cause they got to explain everything first.

[@ismackshortkids]

Lets be real, if all the killers were seriously that smart as they say they were and they went straight to the point by killing their target. There would be no plot or any meaning to the final act. I think that's what makes scream what it is because they know that most of the stuff that happens on screen wouldn't happen the same way irl. I could go into detail of the many things that would differ between movie and reality but to keep it simple, it's all for plot reasons.

[@ct6852]

It's definitely their monologues and narcissistic need for recognition that always leads to their downfall. If they could just shut up about what they did and what they want they probably could win in the end. But then again they'd probably get the itch to do evil again...and ultimately karma would rear it's head. Kind of inevitable when their crimes are so extreme. Evil is usually its own punishment in the end.

For Scream 2, I'll say it's also because Mikey chose to use a knife rather than gun. I get that he's the psycho serial killer, but honestly, he's going up against someone who's survived multiple serial killers before (i.e. Sidney, minimum) - man up and just shoot her in both of the kneecaps to ensure she's unable to fight back against you or your partner. She'll be in too much pain to not get murdered!

Since Mickey wanted to get caught I think he had the best chance of actually taking her out. He didn't have to worry about all the details.

I still believe that Tara is a GF. I think if we would have had a Scream 7 that would have been the thing that would have taken us “back to the beginning.” That she killed Amber when she noticed that Sid and Gale were still strong enough and that Amber and Richie were outnumbered. I also think she was pulling the strings with the two killers in the beginning of six, and didn’t know about the other three.

Not to mention they made the same mistake of not killing Gale twice in the first one.

In Scream 6, the father killer. Who had the gun, walked off while allowing Quin and Ethan to face the Carpenter sisters without guns.

[@antioneatkins7724]

I wish that they would have kept a second killer a secret. Of course, it is like keeping the actor and actress around in the film, but it gives off the mystique. How are they getting around so quickly in the original? Yes, you have two apparent killers, but I would have had Roman get Stew's twin brother to be a third Backup killer, get the same actor who played Stew, and have him show up in the new films, and you get all the additional killers throughout the series to show up as this grand finale to where you have multiple killers at one time e

Those people would become our new close knit group who end up coming together to seek revenge and find out who Ghostface is. I think there should still be multiple killers and this time I'd like to see them divorced from the group of survivors.

Because, ultimately, murder is dumb. The reasoning you actually have to take to be okay with murdering someone, and even worse, carrying a full plan on it, is the worst course of action someone could take, it doesn't resist a logical check like you've did on this video. And because murder is anti-natural in any society, there's the emotions of not getting caught and cover up your tracks, and the emotions of fear, eventual enjoyment, anxiety and so on. It's like in the movie Falling Down. Guy decides to be violent as a reaction, but ultimately, it is a dumb decision - his situation wasn't so bad to the point his only choice was to go out being violent. Dumb people ultimately lose.
