I just think that movies NEED to stick with a certain formula at times. I love originality, but once they stray from a certain gene pool, they lose everything. Don't most slashers have some kind of underlying feminist message anyway? Even though I have a penis (last time I checked), I fully support female rights, and that's part of what I like about slashers.

I do agree that some formula is needed XD
I DON'T want final guys dominating slashers. I'd cry.
That said, I DO think the occasional good/great final guy has his place <3

If horror was populated with Cman final guys, I'd hate all horror survivors
I ultimately voted final guys. Again, I really CAN'T think of any I've seen in movies that I love as much as Megan or Ginny, but I've read a few scripts with some truly amazing ones <<3 And there WERE a few movies where if one of the characters had been a final guy he'd rank among my alltime fav horror survivors XD

Again though, it really only applies to amazing final guys D: Which I like NEVER see. Even good ones are rare <//3

Sucky final guys are the WORST. Worse than sucky final girls

I hate how when a movie would have a good final guy, he gets killed off or whatever so we can have a typical final girl XD

So why do you think final girls are so much more common than final guys?

Final girl. The hot/slutty best friend's always the more interesting character anyway.

Films are better when everyone dies though I guess, more realistic.

I guess I'm old school on this. Final girl gets my vote because 1) that means the person who often survived the most hell in the movie gets to live, vindicating my belief that good eventually trumps evil, and 2) a strong and sexy female character is just more attractive to me, a red-blooded American guy.

I love the final girls. I tried to deny my love for them by scoffing at how it was "overdone" but I can't help myself. Final guys aren't bad either, but I love far more final girls than I dislike them.

I just think we have yet to get any good final guys on the Sidney Prescot Laurie Strode level yet. I mean aside from Tommy Jarvis and maybe Tommy Doyle I can't really think of any other stand outs.
