She does seem so lovable in Carrie 2, I can only wonder if any scenes of hers were deleted that made her demise more meaningful. The fact that she survived the original Carrie is also a mystery that Carrie 2 only compounds further.
I think her death relies on the fact that she was a bully in high school and then became a student councillor a hypocrite or something similar. I also think her character is a way of showing the audience how helpless Rachael is, her councillor is a bully!
I think her performance hinders the character a little, Sue is too warm and lovable in Carrie 2 so much so that even though you know she was a bully, it doesn't really help her death be any more satisfying its actually the opposite effect I hate that Sue dies.
I think her character has a lot missing I think Sue's character has been hammered in the editing room.
I also think that the only reason she is in this film is so people that wanted to see her die will buy this film, she exploits fans of the original Carrie.
I think her character ark is that she is obsessed with telekinesis after witnessing the events of the original film, this leads her to become what she is now, she has chosen this profession because she knows from experience and study that telekinesis is heightened in those situations.
She may have even wanted to try to exploit Carrie in some way.
If you have seen the TV version of Carrie that was made in 2002 I think it ends with Sue helping Carrie to escape the town they live in, they both just drive off into the night together. Carrie is alive and well, that idea could go somewhere the producers of Carrie 2002 must have had an idea. my point here is that maybe in an alternate ending to the original Carrie the same thing happened and the sequel went with that plot instead of the ending we got.
Another thought is that this sequel is actually a sequel to the novel and not the original film.
What ever the case is I just feel that I need more elaboration on the Sue Snell character.
