No way Paula/Nancy would have.....


If Camp Bloodbath were a real film, there's no way that Paula would have been the final girl. I was surprised that Nancy wasn't the final girl.

A final girl is supposed to be a shy, meek character who later overcomes adversary and defeats the killer. This way, the viewers can empathize with the final girl. Paula reminds me of those badass chick that dies toward the end (i.e., Sleepaway Camp series, Nightmare on the Elm Series, esp. 3+4).
It also didn't make sense that Nancy wasn't the final girl. Amanda complained about being typecasted after playing Nancy and Max was hailed as a superstar for being Amanda's daughter by Duncan but we later find out that Nancy is one of the earlier victims!?

Paula reminded me of Fox from Friday The 13th Part 3.
