1+5. Fear is a catalyst for backstabbing approximately as often as a cause for forced obedience, but good point. Clayton was indeed pragmatic about the thin line of fear, and I assume El Indio was too. But was there an Eastwood-verse who was less pragmatic than Clayton and El Indio? Also, before I get deeper into "Hazbin Hotel" (I like the premise. It sounds like something you would write, which is for the better), how many characters were pragmatic as Charlie (it's a short for Charlotte, right?), and how many characters were from the type who're too scary/ruthless/impossible even for their own team?

2A. Me and the friend settled on disagreement, and yet he gave me a serious point to consider: Luther did warn the heroes about Jamal. I believe he did it less for being a human being after all and more for painting himself as a hero after killing Jamal. Marcus was a wet clay in Luther's hands by that point. Does trying to paint himself as a hero and keeping his charade going highlights Luther as a cruel and manipulative man, or mostly a point i'll have a next to impossible time to explain to people who aren't familiar with horror?

2B. The part where Gavin the dakotaraptor and his family wanted to take over the few survivors is new. I recalled they just wanted to eat the corpses, like The Lone Gunslinger did, and loved each other. Maybe the funny and cartoonish nature of the movie downlighted it. Thanks for reminding me. Given the higher than expected standard, I believe I have only one character I can compare to Soto on that matter, which is Manny. Manny had been through much worse and had better reasons to desolate mankind, but he chose to keep things to himself and healing quietly one minute at a time. That's the difference between a truly sympathetic person and a tragic psychopath. Manny chose healing, while Soto chose killing. Now when I think of it, it's kinda like the differences between Martin Luther King (Manny) and Malcolm X (Soto). If you had to guess, would you say the good people had that in mind, or just wanted to show that choices are what matters vs what we'd been through?

3. That would give John even more reasons to hate Gisborne. Your vision of John's mother as more outright abusive than Queen Ingrith make a perfectly scary scene, and Gisborne is just like her. If we assume the not so motherly mother is a female Gisborne, plus the fact she's more outright abusive than Queen Ingrith, does it means that the sheriff is similar to Lord Capulet, given he's closer to a male Ingrith than Gisborne is?

4. "Villains Rap Battles"' episode 4 is out and running:

Piper can be argued as a female Mephisto. Sylvi is similar in mechanics to Ashley, to Mephisto in her powers and to Claymore in her position. Do you see Jack as more similar to Mephisto and Piper, or more like Sylvi? And do you see Taron fitting for Gaston Roberts, or does he make more sense as the surprising cast for the non-villainous version of Roman?
