1. I decided to freeze "Scream Noir 2" and jump straight to part 3. Here are the full "what should've been" list:

I figured out it's the best way to freeze and resume the fanfic at the same time. I hope I won't have to do it with my own originals, but it's better than cancelling the whole thing. Another difficulty I have is about "Friends I Don't Have 4". I know Most of the canon characters will be there, with the exception of Dewey, who was killed in FIDH 2. Jill and Charlie will most likely be there too, still the killers. Rebecca is one option for a mastermind. Which other "Scre4m" civilians could be great killers? And do you see Walter Birkin as a killer who could make sense?

2. A brief conversation with another user gave me new things to chew on: The man added Luther to some redeeming qualities lists. The only redeeming quality that make sense in Luther's case is "scapegoat" (he isn't. He had it coming for 8 years. Probably more), and even that would be a stretch. He's pure evil, but some people might misinterpret his PTSD and long years of loneliness as being a scapegoat. Personally, I must say that 3rd watching makes me hate this man even more. His ability to raise a tearful speech from scratch makes him a great villain, but also a scary and despicable person. He's more manipulative than many people know, and he's not even a psychopath. His scarily effective fake tears makes me wonder how much was he doing that, and how many times he got away with killing people with his "I have PTSD. I wasn't aware of my actions" excuse. It worked on some people, one of them is Marcus, but Jamal wasn't fooled for a second. Like how Ashley won't be fooled by Claymore. I'm not saying either of Claymore nor Luther are scapegoats, but if they were, what can make a man like Claymore be considered as a scapegoat? Also, do you think Jamal wasn't fooled by Luther because he was too smart for that, or is it because psychopaths like him doesn't struggle with sympathy issues?

3. "King Fu Panda" stands for a wordplay on "Lion King" and "Kung Fu Panda"? Good one :-). The white lion dictator is a role that John Hurt could play easily. Martin Freeman is the obvious choice for any role John Hurt could play, but is it possible to cast him as a lion Cotys? If so, should the lion become a more serious and menacing version of Prince John Lionheart, or a full-sized lion with a high-pitched voice due to vocal injury? If not, Martin would be great as Po.

4. I believe I found a way to make Rumple the 3rd killer without making him a villain. In our second thread we discussed the possibility of Hayden Papandreou (Hydra) as the third killer, who'll be paid by Beatrice to euthanize her. Now, I consider the possibility of combining them. Beatrice will pay Rumple to outsource her suicide. Rumple will do the mercy kill requested by Beatrice, and then get back to his prime target, which are McDonald and the miller. I figured out the a tragic vigilante who follow a rape victim's reply to put her out of her misery would be a rather interesting and sympathetic anti-hero. Arguably the only non-malicious killer. What do you think?
