Do you think the death/rebirth mythic structure works for the Final Girl?

It was a smart idea you see smart people using (JK Rowling at the end of Harry Potter or George RR Martin in the Jon Snow arc,) yet I'm not sure how effective it was, in this one.

Actually you could argue all of these kinda don't work, from the just-okay end of Harry Potter, to heaping even more "Hero's Journey" shit on characters calculated to disappoint you in "Game of Thrones," to trying to enrich the journey of the Final Girl?

Hmm, that's a really good question. I was mostly more impressed that she made it. But you're right, those other examples don't necessarily work.
