1. Maybe you liked Bioshock Infinite. It's one of those setting who express our mutual feeling about the non-exist god. The big bad, some sort of bearded Mussolini named Zachary Hale Comstock, took over the flying city of Columbia and led a sinister cult of personality. His many similarities to Koba emphasize the fact humans came from the apes. Many of the enemies are representations of fascism. The mechanic patriot (a robot who look like George Washington, wrapped in the USA flag and shooting on you with an assault rifle), the children of silence (they're locked inside a metal helmet. They cant see anything, have trumpets where they ears should be and screaming all the time) are the crown jewel. And the Songbird is probably the propaganda machine. Hovering over everybody and guarding everyone who might escape from the state's grip. I wonder if the fact Bucker is an incarnation of Comstock is a metaphor to the little fascist who hide inside us all.

2. After rewatching the scenes in Scream 2 where Derek got tied up, I went through the scene where Movieface revealed himself and shot Derek in the heart. Right after killing Derek, Movieface gazed upon a dead Derek and frightened Sidney while licking his mouth from the inside. Usually people lick their mouth from the inside when they fantasize on kissing. Not sure, but maybe it's indicate Mickey came to have a thing for Sidney and was secretly jealous with Derek.

Minute 1:56.

I'm not developing a theory just yet, but here are some of the known facts:

A. Sidney is a great woman. At least two killers, namely Billy and Charlie, had a thing for her to an extent.

B. Mickey dated a girl he doesn't love (he killed his own girlfriend with glee. No love involved) just to get close to Sidney. Maybe he developed attraction to his intended victim and came back to his murderous plan after realizing he cant hope to date Sidney. Some people in real life already did it.

C. Fame hogs are very jealous people.

D. When Mickey attacked Sidney after revealing himself, he was rather playful, almost like he's reluctant to kill her. Even Billy and Stu were more serious about killing Sidney.

E. He's like a crazier and less sophisticated version of Jones. Jones will kill his ex and (probably) Bingo due to his ex dating Bingo. Maybe it can indicate Mickey saw Sidney in a similar way and decided to kill both Sidney and Derek due to "Derek stole my girl, so i'll kill them both" mindset.

F. Mickey believed he's an artist. some artist fall in love with girls they deem as their muses.

G. Unlike the other ghostfaces, Movieface never came to hate Sidney.

H. His cruel insults toward Sidney were all about her relationships ("do you really want to trust your boyfriend?", "he was just the kind of guy you could bring home to mom... If you had a mom", "you got Linda Hamilton thing going on. I love it" and such). When a psychopath focus all of his/her insults about someone's relationships/sexuality, many times it's because the intended victim was a love interest who see them in a different way. Charlie and Kirby are a fine example. Maybe Mickey saw Sidney in the same way Charlie saw Kirby.

3. In a way, Malcom X have traits of Shere Khan, or the Hindu zealot who killed Gandy (in Jungle Book, people like the guy who killed Gandy are represented by Buldeo. His immense hate toward animals/British make him the human/Hindu reflection to Shere Khan). I can see his reasons, because some oppressors can't understand anything but violence, but expanding his harsh life as a victim to racism into hating every single person from the oppressing population is something I can't justify. Sometimes I think Malcolm X is the Afro-American reflection of the guy who killed Martin Luther King. Another reason I don't like this man is that racists take people like him and projecting them into their whole group. "All Jews are like Madoff", "all Italians are like Al Capone", "all Russians are like Putin", "all white people are like Trump" and such.

4. Never thought about Thor and Joan of Ark as materials for exaggerations of real people into legend. Now that's creative :-). Does Ruby and her team have shades of the 7 samurais from Akira Kurosawa's film, or they'll become a little more lighthearted and with less casualties (4 out of the 7 samurais got killed) than that? Also, does Cinder/Adam reminds you of Naraku?
