I've only watched Scream 5 once, but I find Billy having a daughter to be completely ridiculous too. When you keep forcing unnecessary sequels, it just creates a huge contrived mess.

I mean, I get why they did it: an excuse to keep linking the new characters to the originals. But Billy's ghost being a thing in this series now? Meh. Not for me. They should've just left him and Stu out of it. They're still the best killers and their memory shouldn't be tarnished with contrivances.
Haven't watched 5 yet, but that sounds pretty dumb.

For real

It messes with his legacy in the series. Trying to make him into a Mrs Voorhies type of parental ghost is just absolutely embarrassing.

It's insulting that the new cast are so egotistical that they think the originals are now irrelevant in the bigger picture. This should have stayed a trilogy, without a doubt.

They will see how irrelevant their garbage films are without Sidney and the original cast. Who cares about Scream without them? GTFOOH.

^ It's as ridiculous to me as trying to make ALIEN about anything other than Ripley's story. The difference is that the cast of the Alien movies never disputed her central role, whereas the SCREAM cast in movies 4/5 are way more big-headed and seem to think the movies can take any turns they want as long as Ghostface still appears.

(That's as ridiculous as thinking that a Batman villain works without Batman.)

"I wanted the ending where Sidney throws it to Cotton at the end and lets him be the hero. All he wanted to do was to be exonerated and so all the press went to him, and I wanted that moment at the end because I thought it was very heroic of Sidney to do that, and winning for her, and also good for him. I think there was some conversation, the studio wanted it one way, and they wanted him to be much more of a villain and be much more of a red herring so that he was the killer … and I’m like, ‘You’re gonna think it anyway. Just the fact that he’s standing there, you’re gonna think that he could be a potential killer.’ So that speech got rewritten and rewritten, and finally, Liev put his foot down and said, ‘This is the way I want to say,’ and he was right, and he won."
Thank god for Liev.

I never thought of Cotton as a villain. He was always wrongly accused. His storyline emphasizes the truth of how "mud sticks" once you're accused of a crime, even if you're declared innocent. It would have been an insult to make him the killer or an accomplice at any point in the series.

That's the problem with studios making long-running franchises. Nothing ever lives up to the first and second movies, because it's a cash cow to them.

They prioritize jump scares and dumb twists over believable character development.
