Merry Christmas, Hanukah, Novi-God and any other holiday of this time of year.

1. Now, when Mengsk is labeled under "approved evil" (we all know it was a formality post), it's time to think about proposing the next "StarCraft" villain: Amon. Mengsk is a human Gul'dan and combines the worst of many real-life psychopaths and dehumanizing artists, and Amon is a deconstruction of what a real god would be. He's a lot like the violent drunk god in that sense. Amon originally created the Protos, but they weren't as obedient to him as mankind became obedient to Mengsk. His literal final solution was to create the destructive swarm known as the zerg just to destroy his former creation. People are doing it in real life too. It's called fake news and populism. Every second politician these days from all sides is marking a group of "pure elitism" and pretend they lead a group of "pure evolution" to hunt the elitists down. The main difference is that Amon did it in higher scale, levels of success that only Mengsk can rival and contributed to the destruction of the universe. In a way, he's worse than Mengsk, because at least Mengsk can claim he used to be tragic before becoming what he is. Amon is listed under Lovecraftian horrors, but being an omnicidal maniac means he have a moral agency. I know it's not the most likely thing, but does showing people that the common concept for god and interpretations is similar to Amon might get them back on tracks and reduce the odds for becoming fanatics?

2. The possibility that t-rexes were relatively silent killers gave me ideas for a couple of scenes dealing with this fact, which is the disappointing gap between realism and reality:


 * A great part of part 1 is based on Angel's flashbacks. These flashbacks shows the history of Henry Posdonllo and his company through the 9-10 years old Angel's eyes. In one of these flashbacks, Henry will have a serious and loud fight with one of his executive managers about the rexes' guttural roar. "We have a t-rex, but it doesn't roar like a normal animal? A creature whom we create for helping people with vocal issues doesn't roar, just doing a low-frequency rumble? And you authorized it? If you did, then I have to explain you sharply about the value of realism. If you didn't, it means you kept quiet when you should've roar like our t-rex should, and as such, you deserve no voice cords. I might cut it down from your paycheck. I might. Cross your fingers while you can". Whatever roar the t-rexes will have, this scene is a good way to show that Henry wasn't the hero that Angel forced herself to believe he is for the past 35 years (from birth).


 * The squad is getting ready for the first night at the dinosaurs enclosure. Only some relatively small and harmless dinosaurs are approaching the camp, so nobody suspect anything. A slight movement in a distant bush, and the harmless dinosaurs are fleeing, but still no sign of suspicion. Angel is the only one who keep her eyes open, but Forest is mocking her, because there's no voice other than a guttural mumbling. The other cops gets back to their things, but then a t-rex charge out of the bushes and snatch a cop. The only sounds were a faint sound of stomp and some other cops who shoot at the beast. Rodrick shouts to stop firing, but they listen only after he shoot one of the other cops, shouting "hold your fucking fire!" and pretends it's an accident caused by nervous breakdown. Rodrick belong to the unique kind of populists that faking their own fears and come out as more human-like in their followers' eyes.

What do you say?

3. Here's another great idea I heard in the past 2 weeks, this time from my mother: We had a discussion about ways to continue 2016 "Jungle Book". There are several logical ways to continue the saga, one of them is focusing on Mowgli coming to the man village and get in odds with Buldeo. This old hunter's novel version is close to William Boone, but more fleshed-out and scarier. In my mother's idea, Buldeo will kidnap Mowgli's baby and throw him/her in the jungle for creating a chain of events that will kill Mowgli and establish him as the village hero. Her idea makes perfect sense, as the novel Buldeo did similar things, such as convincing the villagers that Mowgli deserved to be stoned with sharp stones. Later on, he convinced the villagers to burn Mowgli's adoptive human parent. I have some ideas of my own, but first, what are the odds that Disney will be wise enough to bring my mother's idea to the big screen?

4. By "taking Anastasia to Heaven", you mean she was granted a save and nurturing place after dying of hypothermia and later became god, or did she brought there while still being alive? The "French Fries" part is a good joke, and also have very solid roots in history. The Jacobins were a delusional group who burned France for real, but not as noble and understandable as Jester. They claimed to be leftwing, but being led by Maximilien Robespierre showed that they are more similar to Deathwing. Not sure even the horseman of death would approve these people. Robespierre is similar to Mengsk, and also to Toxocara and the violent drunk that came before Anastasia. Which of the overarching villains in your aforementioned stories is more similar to Robespierre?

5A. We don't see him alive, but the results and consensus between the characters, including the stranger, fits to the criteria. There's also a video featuring a pregnant woman who had two choices: Abortion or being sent away with her unborn child. Know the anti-abortion idiots? So Oberson is the same type, but worse and come from the opposite direction. This kind of sadism, combined with his refusal to acknowledge that a woman's body belong to her alone, are something that we see on the news far too often. And i'm yet to mention the real reason oberson wanted to document everything. He claimed that he wanted to film every medical procedure to watch out for his "perfect survivors" society, but I put my lifesavings that he actually wanted to repeatedly watch the suffering of the "weak" populations at their desperate times. Unless we assume Joan and Badger from season 3 are worse, I can say in confidence that Oberson is the most evil character in the video game continuity. Search for "TWD season 1 - episode 4" and you'll feel the death energy flowing from this man. Do you think he used to be a normal human being, like Carver was before losing his effective empathy, or just the rotten-hearted dictator we know today since forever?

5B. I believe i know what you mean by "hope is a double edged sword as it can easily cause despair if taken". It's like when Lilly from TWD video game left the story in the middle of season 1 (either being left at the sideroad like she deserve or being forgiven only to steal the group's RV), but came back in season 4 as a worse person. I mean, worse than even Lee and Kenny could ever know. Something like that? Also, does your idea to keep Kar's fate ambiguous in order to keep the possibility to bring him back is similar to a hope spot? In a sense that the audience can interpret Kar as RIP. Believing a villain is dead is a hope spot. know what I mean?
