1. Do you think "Payphone" by Maroon 5 (brought here as the best cover i could find) can be a theme song for Police Legend?

The doubt comes from the part about "love song", but "all the fairytales are full ot it" is basically the whole theme of Police Legend.

2. Adaptational heroism (just like the other side of the coin) have its advantages. In several cases it's even necessary ("The Mask" and "Men In Black" original comic books are major examples). In Police Legend context, where 4 villains are clearly adaptational villainy  (Jones was never played a good guy in any legend. Not sure how adaptational  villains are Fox and Cat, because they tried to kill Pinocchio in the original story, albeit they wasnt as successful as in my story), rewriting the beast as a good guy is considered refreshing (which doesnt mean i think the original is sympathetic though).

3. Speaking of adaptational heroism: Ever happen to watch a movie based on a novel, hearing a good guy/girl were horrible piece of work in the original and asked yourself how this character could ever be villain? Also, do you consider my version Rumplestiltskin (if Jones won't kill McDonald, Rumple will take care of that) as adaptational hero?

4. I wouldn't call that a retcon. Retcon is when you invent something from scrach, which change dearly or even erase any earlier plot in earlier part. If you planned it as your main idea, it's not a retcon. It's a twist. In that specific case, a twist Tim Burton could work with.

5. We both know (sadly) how conflicting it is to have a sibling who doesnt love you. I touch that matter in Hawardged's story (correct me if i wrote his name in another way in earlier threads), where his psychopathic brother tried (and keep trying until the story ends) to kill him many times. I wonder if Armada and Mephisto have shades of siblings fight (she have to face the fact her student is a psychopath from the pure evil variant, Mephisto think his father loves Armada more than his own son).
