Added DiffLines:

* SalvagedStory:
** The [[Series/ScreamTheTVSeries MTV series]] changed the killer's mask to accommodate the Brandon James plot, but this became a subject of controversy with some viewers criticizing the Lakewood Slasher as an InNameOnly version of Ghostface. Here, ''Resurrection'' reverts the killer's mask back to the movies' Father Death mask.
** On a minor note, while Mike Vaughn was generally deemed an adequate voice actor for the MTV Ghostface, ''Resurrection'' reinstates Creator/RogerLJackson as Ghostface's voice to stay consistent with the films.
** A few common criticisms of the MTV series were that the [[RomanticPlotTumor love triangles]] and [[{{padding}} other subplots]] slowed down the main story and that the Lakewood Slasher's body count was too low to compensate for such issues. In contrast, while ''Resurrection'' has a similar kill count to the prior MTV seasons, it has a lower episode total due to the faster pacing.


Added DiffLines:

* WinBackTheCrowd: Interest in ''Resurrection'' increased after the trailer advertised the return of Roger L. Jackson and the original Ghostface costume.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[SoftSpokenSadist Beth]] is the seemingly savvy de facto leader of the Deadfast club and the true [[BigBad mastermind]] behind the new Ghostface killing spree. A [[AxCrazy self-proclaimed "killer wannabe" who fantasized about living a horror movie]], Beth got her chance when she met Jamal, and learned about his half-brother's past and secrets. She [[ManipulativeBitch manipulated Jamal]] to take the Ghostface mantle to terrorize her supposed friend and his half-brother, outwardly pretending to care about her new friends. As part of their brutal murder spree, Beth personally kills her boyfriend by forcibly overdosing him; has another friend burnt alive in a car; and kills her next boyfriend by sawing through his stomach and groin with a bone saw, watching him bleed out. When Jamal is nearly exposed, Beth has him kidnapped and mortally wounded to [[HeKnowsTooMuch not leave loose ends]], and when she finally reveals her true motives, she shoots and seemingly kills Marcus before chasing down and trying to kill Liv.]]

Unfortunate Implications is now a Flame Bait trope. Examples must be moved to the official pages.


* UnfortunateImplications: As noted in [[https://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3570638/tv-review-killers-scream-resurrection/ this article]] by Trace Thurman for ''Bloody-Disgusting'', Ghostface's motive can easily come off to horror fans as [[TakeThatAudience downright]] [[ThisLoserIsYou insulting]]. [[spoiler:Beth claims that her love of [[MurderSimulators violent horror movies]] is the result of her being a [[TheSociopath sociopath]], and that she was using horror to vicariously live out her own sick fantasies until, eventually, they no longer cut it and she had to start killing for real to satisfy her urges. Not only is this an idea that the ''Scream'' films frequently mocked, it is one that has been used in real life to justify [[MoralGuardians censorship campaigns]] against violence in the media.]]

Does not match new criteria for Authors Saving Throw.


* AuthorsSavingThrow: A common complaint regarding the [[Series/ScreamTVSeries previous MTV seasons]] was that the killer wore a new mask and used a different voice changer, making him a Ghostface InNameOnly. Here, the killer reuses the "Father Death" costume from the movies, and Creator/RogerLJackson reprises his role as Ghostface's voice.

* BrokenBase: Fans of the first two seasons are conflicted whether or not it was a good idea
for prolonged conflicts.''Resurrection'' to focus on a new set of characters since Season 2's introduction [[spoiler:of a third killer]] [[LeftHanging wasn't resolved]].

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: The reveal that Creator/RogerLJackson would [[RoleReprise finally be returning to the role of Ghostface]], along with the return of [[CoolMask the original Ghostface mask]], after eight long years definitely did this for fans of the ''Scream'' films.

** In this [[https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Scream-Resurrection-Cast.jpg?w=1024&ssl=1 promotional picture ]], Beth is closer to the front while the rest of the cast, including [[TheHero Deion]] himself, are far away in the back. From a viewer's perspective, it makes no sense. But after watching the finale, and then looking at the picture through the perspective of [[spoiler: Beth]], it makes sense because this is how [[spoiler: ''Beth'' sees herself and the rest of the cast]]. [[spoiler: [[VillainProtagonist She's the "hero"]], while everyone in the back, including the ''real'' hero of the story and the final girl(s), are just CannonFodder to her]].
** There are repeated appearances of a Twix-style candy bar called "Twins"; one of Twix's commercials jokingly reveals the the reason for Twix having two separate candy bars is due to the founders of Twix (both brothers) having a fallout, thus leading them to have separate factories to create the individual left and right Twix bars, with each side claiming how each bar is different and better than the other. Thinking of the "left/right" Twix campaign helps to understand the symbolism behind the BrandX version in the show:

*** The joke of the Twix campaign is that the two chocolate bars are the same, or at least so similar, you can't tell them apart. In the last episode, it's revealed that [[spoiler: Deion and Marcus had switched costumes so Tommy wouldn't bother Marcus, so Deion ended up getting attacked by Hookman and died while hiding from him; Marcus was mistaken for Deion and decided to keep the ruse going out of guilt and to redeem himself for failing to save his brother]].
*** Unrelated to the "left/right" campaign, but still involving the Twix bars, one package of Twix or Twins bars has two bars; most Scream-related media has [[spoiler: more than one Ghostface. Including this one]].
