1. True and make very much sense, with the new "Planet of the apes" trilogy as the most definitive example I have in mind. I know reboots work best with products that were interesting, but failed to live their potential. Is it possible to do a good reboot to a low quality products (example: a reboot to Ghost Rider)?

2. Maybe RvB learned from Scream, which also one of the few settings that can keep some comedic moments (up for interpretation) while being mostly serious. But if someone cant balance funny and serious, he/she should stick to the serious elements. Another technique I know (and use in some of my stories) is putting the vast majority (if not all) of the funny moments near the ending, right before the final battle/summit, just to show the characters keep their sense of humor because it's either that or lose it completely. From what I remember, Jester also keep his humor mostly to stay sane, as much as a demon in a world that force you into claymore decisions can be sane.

3. Ironically enough, Azazello's last master is also a monster. Take one of Maureen's pig men, merge it with a hyena and you got Hyena-Swine. His 1996 cinematic version came out as less intimidating than I imagined from reading the novel, but still scare first timers. I liked how the director designed him as a terrorist in hyena clothing. As he killed the doctor (the alleged god among the beast folks) in order to become a god himself, he's a chilling personification of what religion can do to people if they cease to think. His movie portrayal is also similar to an hyena terrorist in Chernobyl IL 2. I also liked the irony of becoming more human-like by succumbing to his ferocious animal he really is. If Hyena-Swine was one of Scar's hyenas, Scar should be so lucky if the hyena monster will just lead the other hyenas to eat him alive.

4. Here's a new drawing of the new hybrid in JW:FK:

This guy (unlike I-Rex, who can be referred as male by behavior, Indoraptor is an actual male) will be the new menace of Jurassic Park universe. He could be called hellraptor, named by the artist lol. Judging from its size (500 kg or so), his main raptor genes are belong to utahraptor. Now seeing that Utahraptor/Indominus-Rex hybrid in second sight make me wish that would be Wu's karma. Unlike some other raptors (deinonychus, achillobator, dromaeosaurus and dakotaraptor), maybe utahraptor hunted in single/couples. Does the architects behind this monster of a dinosaur knew Indoraptor would be less of a pack animal than Indominus-rex, or just figured out that giving a creature like him the ability to work in packs would be ferociously stupid even in Ingen/Massrani Global's standards?

5. I just heard about a new movie named "The Strangers: Prey At Night". Happen to see it/the first part? If so, would you recommend it?
