That's not true, at least not in my case. Scream 7 would have a better taste in the mouth and I would gladly support it since Scream is my favorite franchise, but it would still be the weakest movie in the franchise. I don't think the movie is all that bad (I even like Jessica, despite the lack of development and substance), but it "works" right up until the first killer reveal (I still have some issues here and there); after that, it all goes downhill. Plus, Sidney is my favorite final girl ever, I grew up loving her, and I have major issues with how they made her seem dumb and almost all washed up regarding Stu being alive or not and how she raised her daughters just to fit Jessica's motive ("You've been a good mother to Tatum?", "You haven't taught her anything useful", "You've kept the survivor all to yourself"). The Sidney I know since I was a kid and watched in Scream 5 would've been more proactive and well aware of the dangers that come with being her (and a chief of police's) child so wouldn't have left her daughters without knowing at least basic self-defense, how to point and shoot, and, most importantly, that there was a panic room in their house where they could take shelter.
Just an example of how they backtracked with Sidney's development; she was acting like an inexperienced final girl in 7 (she was in Sam's shoes, but didn't want to follow her own advice and Gale had to step in):

Scream 7 wouldn’t be slammed as much as it is if Melissa Barrera stepped away from the franchise on her own accord. It shows that it’s not about the quality of the film, but the political climate around the company.
