## What Makes Him a Base-Breaking Character?

### Why Do People Like Him?

* As a Ghostface killer, Roman proves to be one of the most competent villains in the entire franchise.
* Many fans like how, unlike the killers in the first two films (and later Scream IV, Scream (2022), and Scream VI), Roman didn't need an accomplice to help him with his killing spree.
* Many people enjoyed Scott Foley's performance.
* He serves as an interesting to foil to series main protagonist Sidney Prescott with both of them dealing with their past. The difference here being that Roman wants revenge for Maureen shutting him out by orchestrating her death while Sid learns to accept who her mother was.

### Why Do People Dislike Him?

* Roman's existence as the mastermind behind Maureen's death felt like a massive retcon in the eyes of the fanbase.
* The fact that Sid and Roman were related had many fans feel as if the filmmakers ran out of ideas given how there was nothing that hinted, both in the first film and Scream 3 until the reveal, that Roman was Sidney's half brother.
* The voice changer used by Roman throughout the film felt way too convenient. Especially when he used that to mimic Sidney's voice to lure Dewey and Gale to John Milton's house and force the movie into a finale.
* Many think him faking his death was dumb since Gale checked his pulse and thought he was dead.
