1A. It's a universal schtick. Many of the best conflicts in fiction were between brothers/sisters/family members overall. It's always symbolic, even in the wrong hands, and the depths of the hate/rivalry are many times unrivaled. If you write stories, maybe your characters have these kind of conflicts too.

1B. He just used his PTSD as an excuse to mislead Marcus. This was one of the things I didn't liked about Marcus (a great character, but not without his flaws). He believed the lies of the man who killed his brother. It's even worse than Sidney when she was sad and frighten to see Milton get killed. His remorse is nothing. It's just a Freudian excuse. I know he wasn't sadistic, but killing a child is still a qualifying reason to be pure evil. None of the other killers had done it so far. He's no worse than the other 5 devils, but he's horrible enough. I dislike him only slightly less than I dislike Beth.

1C+D. I used to think the same. But when Beth and Jamal came, it changed a lot. Part of why Jamal was original is that he's the only relative who didn't had mother issues, let alone having a normal motive. Also, your idea of working alone might make sense. The question now is what's your motive. I know it might be a weird question, but here it goes: Are we sure that the fact Jamal turned on Beth and wanted to be redeemed doesn't make him trustworthy?

2A. Not completely the same. The positive characters survived, but were in no shape to do too much. When were unconscious, they were usually out of action for a big portion of the showdown. With Beth, however, her unexpected toughness was just like Jamal's hint. "She would never stop". Being perfectly coherent after a massive brain damage can mean only one thing. Even Marcus knew it. Also, here are the moments I figured out the rest of the killers:

The obvious from the beginning: Billy (at the very moment he said "nobody said you did"), Stu (when he got detailed about how to gut someone), Mickey (when he counted the stabs that killed Maureen Evans), Charlie (I saw the nasty look toward Robbie and his clear obsession toward his female classmates when he asked them questions in front of the camera), Kieran (Ever since episode 1 of second season. The good people retconned it, which prevented Audrey to be the killer, so it could only be the charismatic boyfriend who can do everything) and Jamal (being a criminal brother with a strained relationship with Marcus was all I needed to know).

Those who I was on to them midway through the movie: Debbie (when the killer killed Randy after talking poorly about Billy. As Billy is someone that only a mother can love, the person who killed Randy could only be a grieving mother), Roman (he walked around in a giant mansion, completely clueless. People who act like that are either ferociously stupid or ferociously smart) and Jill (she said "my mother drives me crazy", moments before her mother was murdered).

Honestly? Only Piper and Beth surprised me. Piper because I only figured her out when I saw her feminine figure under the black suit right before she removed her mask (Amelia Rose-Blaire in a black suit is very revealing lol), and Beth because she was so specific about her nastiness and recklessness that I just assumed she had nothing to hide.

2B+D. Of course I like Liv as the final girl, but she would also be a better killer than Beth. Do you think the killer of season 4 would have a thing for Liv? And what do you mean by "Liv's father was trying to protect people from Liv"? I might need to see the season a third time and consult with some of my "Scream" fans pen-mates, but unless Liv is secretly a psychopath/frequently involved in criminal activities, I don't think a father would protect other people from his own daughter.

3. Man :-(. He sounds like a male Beth. He probably threatened you because you didn't dance by his nonsense or something. This Ben Whigham you're talking about is probably in jail right now, or maybe he was killed by a psychopath just like him. Which scenario do you find more likely?

4. I asked Jill the writer about it. She was as silent as Freddy Krueger's conscience. That's not very nice of her. It's even worse than Willa Fitzgerald's usage of her relationship with one of the writers for changing things in the series she doesn't like.

5. I'll look for it when I can. But first, i'm planning to finish my second watch of "Game Of Thrones" and starting "The Punisher". Happen to see "The Punisher"? If so, do you also think that Frank Castle is a great anti-hero?

6. Like the rest of mankind. Now, when you know these two are both overrated as hell and rapists, who's your favorite ghostface?

7. Same her. It was marvelous to put it mildly. You gotta respect Jamal for killing a more evil version of Candyman. I believe the only characters (other than Jamal) who could take down Hook Man are Cotton, Roman, Kevin Duval and maybe Kieran. Do you see Sidney taking Hook Man down? And does the fact Beth killed one of the strongest and toughest killers yet means that she could kill Hook Man as well?
