8 Horror Movies That Turned Badasses Into Wimps

Gale Weathers might not be the first person that pops into your head when you think of the word ‘badass’,but if you think about it she survived some pretty gnarly stuff and did her fair bit to contribute to the original Scream movie. She even shoots Billy at the end of the original!

It’s just a shame that over the next few movies she basically becomes kind of bland and vanilla. Things start off pretty well at the beginning of Scream 2 when she tries to manufacture confrontation between Sidney and Cotton, earning herself a swift right hook to the face.

In true ruthless reporter fashion, she takes it like a champ and carries on working. However, by the end of the film she’s gone on her supposed redemption arc and chooses to go to hospital with Dewey rather than stay and report on the happenings of the film.

Yeah sure I guess that makes her a ‘better person’ and all, but who wants that? We want badass, ruthless reporter Gale Weathers! Instead by the end of Scream 3 we’ve essentially got Monica from Friends under a different name, as we see them all settle in to play happy families. Boring.
