1. JP5 will have less changes than JP3, but there will still be changes:


 * Wheatley - The canon Wheatley is currently my least favorite JP villain. He's a bad combination of foul personality and one-dimensional character. In my reboot, Wheatley will be deeper as a character and more outspoken about his plans to overthrow Mills. I know he wanted to do so. In my version, he'll try to extort Zia, or anybody else, into killing Mills for him. Think of Wheatley as Jack and Zia as Red. At least that's what Wheatley wanted, until our favorite scaly Rottweiler will do the world a favor and kill Wheatley.


 *  Zia and Franklin's dynamics - Less pointless scuffles. They care about each other more than either will ever admit, and I want to show it, or at least downplay their childish conflicts.


 * Doctor Wu - In my version, Franklin will kill him with an accurate tranquillizer dart to the Cervical artery. If not Franklin, Blue can work too. I really wanted to see Wu get killed. He better be killed in part 6. He deserves no better than his death in the novel.


 * Mills' death - His death was awesome because everyone wanted him to die, not because he deserved it. He deserved much worse. In my version, he'll almost take the containers with the future hybrids, until Claire will shot his neck. The compies will see the laser point on his neck, but he'll be too busy to noticed. Unlike Heather when she shot Malcolm and missed the vital artery, Claire won't miss. She'll nail it at the same precision Kelly nailed in the novel and Sarah tranquilized Papa-Rex in JP2 movie.

JW will have only one change, which will be changing Claire's pointless insult regarding Lawrie's manhood to "I need you to trust me. Like I trust you". Other than that, I would do parts 1 and 4 just the way they are. Again, I want Wu to die real bad. But is there a way to keep his death for the rebooted part 6 without backslapping the fandom?

2. When Kain will replace Sofia for the "Sofia Lamb vs Margaret Goodnight" episode, would you like him to replace her until the end of the season? As for "Legacy Of Kain" as a whole: It's sounds rather complicated. If I got you straight, the demons wanted to turn the guardians immortals, because even gods cannot take immortals' souls. The demon who corrupted Kain wanted to kill him for weakening the world pillars and to eliminate him as a possible soul for the elder god to take. The demons wanted to kill everybody, and it contradict the elder god's interest, because he can't take over a broken world. Kain realized he's manipulated by a demon and decided to kill him after killing the elder god. Did I got it right? It's not like your stories. DS and "Xylus" are deep and easy to understand after you tell me about it. "Legacy Of Kain" is interesting, but also confusing.

3+4B. I talked about it with Sirin. Hope he'll answer soon. NerdWithAKeyboard sounds like a guy whose fields of interest are similar enough to yours for having continuous conversations. Should I talk with Nerd too, or does asking Sirin is enough? As for Euron: If you want a brief summary in one sentence, he's a highly pragmatic villain who betray his own family if not out right killing them, and is considered as the only GOT villain who can be argued as similar to Ramsay's vileness level. There are two major reasons for why Euron is only similar to Ramsay's vileness. The first one is their motives. Euron killed his brother and overthrew his niece and nephew for power. Ramsay killed his own family because he felt like his parents loved his baby brother better. To me, killing for power makes more sense than killing for daddy issues. The second reason is their ambitions. Euron is like General Tiger, because both want to achieve things and perfectly capable to create stability. And equally important, both can restrain their sadism as long as it takes. Ramsay is more like Mephisto. Both can be cunning when it suits them, but they are willing to throw away their best interest just to hurt others. With Ramsay it's worse, because at least Mephisto can claim he wanted to take over a kingdom and shape his world. Technically Mephisto never executed a baby, but he isn't horrified from the concept, just like how General Tiger watch children get killed with cold and self-serving eyes.

4A. A sad fact: Recently I was informed that one of my grandpops, the one who I wasn't sad when he died, was less conscientious than me and my mother used to think. when he was alive, he did things that I can't tell in details. Long story short, he had a successful business, but did everything in his power (the keyword is everything, including things my brother and father could do if they weren't cowards) so my mother and much of her family won't have anything. If someone cares about you, and someone else demand things you shouldn't do (and sometimes cant), you would choose the person who show genuine care about you, right? Well, this man had the habit of hurting people who love him and kiss up to people who doesn't want him. People like him are the reason insecurity can make bad people even worse. After knowing this, I feel less guilty for not being sad when he died. I'm not comparing him to Tatum Kane, but I have reasons to believe her own grandchildren might feel about her the way I feel about this man. Does he scare you, or mostly upsetting you? For me, he's mostly upsetting.

5A. One of the reason I prefer the upcoming movie as "The Fox and the Hound" all over again is that "Romeo and Juliet" adaptations became false images of the true play. Many recent adaptations presents Lady Montague as the exact female version of Lord Capulet. Zira is a prime example. I know it's justified on Michelle Pfeiffer's character, but it's both false and suffocate the complexity with a pillow. Prince Philp better defect from his mother's tyranny, or else he'll end up like Prince Charming from "Shrek". Just another boring asshole. The animated one was just that. I asked my mother about the reason for demonizing Lady Montague, and she said Lady Montague is a psychopathic control freak, even if not to the degree of Lord Capulet. Do you see Romeo's mother as a psychopath? Also, I we have the best case scenario (Maleficent is Widow Tweedy, Aurora is Tod, Philip is cooper Michelle Pfeiffer is Amos Slade), do you see them having a common enemy, like Mor'du as the Scottish lords' uniting foe?

5B. Maybe you're familiar with "Grave Of The Fireflies". Japan is after WW2's mass explosion, look and feel like Jester's chaotic world, and the protagonist is similar to Mattius Longstreet, but not as equipped to reality. How old was Jester when Grace was murdered? Well, the 14 years old Seita lost his sister too, when she was 5, and didn't live long enough to have PTSD. In a way, the Seita's sister was murdered too, because the Japanese government at the time are the indirect responsible to her dying of starvation. They saw their mother wrapped in mummy bandages, which became more mummy than bandages, pushed away from their own aunt's house because of shortage of food, Seita reduced himself into stealing food and light their refuge with fireflies, his little sister was so hungry that she tried to eat marbles because she thought it's rice balls, and finally both died of starvation. The child went to sleep hungry and never woke up. It's kinda like the girl from "Alien" who died sleeping. Seita was dying one day at a time, until a janitor found his corpse at a train station and threw away the little container where he kept his sister's ashes. This movie's concept of happiness is based on Seita and his sister's spirits going hand to hand, surrounded by symbolic fireflies.

I know the fact neither Seita or his sister are equipped to deal with life is the whole point of the movie, but I prefer characters who does equipped to deal with life. Jester is an example. He's what Seita always wanted to be, other than the demon part.

5C. By "he doesn't mind betraying those he deems necessary or arguably ruling over", you mean he always want people to have free will, even if their free will is biting him, and take the liberty to make them regret it? Sounds like the American institution. "You can burn the flag and we can burn your house". Good to hear Jester is honorable. TV Tropes are gonna open Champagne about it and maybe using Jester as the new page picture for "noble demon". No kidding, bud. You earned it :-). I know Morgan Freeman isn't your first choice, but maybe he can play Thanatos/Zuriel/Famine.

5D. And here's my turn to thank you about angels-related ideas: Zuriel's name gave an idea for a new character in "Chernobyl IL". A friendly blonde soldier named Zuriel Nussbaum. When Mendel the rat will visit Arthur's basecamp under the alias of the famous pianist Theo Bromine, he'll notice Zuriel among the crowd, and will decide to kill her because she reminds him of his wife when she was younger. He'll kill her, abduct her body and use her to finally complete his wife. Like Arthas before him, Mendel will revive his wife in the very wrong way. He'll almost press the button to revive his wife, but will stop on his track due to the idea of making multiple copies. Just to be clear: his wife would be fully aware to his choice. Think about being in technical coma, but seeing and knowing everything happens right in front of you. His next step will be pouring the green fluid surrounding his wife to as many cups as possible, which is 23 or so. All 23 clone, who'll burst out of 23 captives/soldiers, will look like Zuriel Nussbaum. He choose Zuriel's appearance because he's too feinschmecker to use the actual realistic appearance of his late wife at her final moments. The plot ingredients mentioned are decided, but do I have your permission to name one of my characters Zuriel?

PS: I just finished my draft for "Scream" Reboot. It ain't written as a story. This time, it's an explanation of the main changes, with new updated actors and actresses. I might not be able to write it all to the letter, because of real-life challenges and my own original stories, so I wrote the blueprints instead.
