User blog comment:CasjLannister/Pure Evil Proposal: Shere Khan (2018)/@comment-27022982-20190723041841

Uh... there's absolutely no indication that Khan is suffering from a tragic past, nor is he unstable, and psychopaths can qualify as PE. And the fact that he slowly carving a scar on Mowgli's arm, along with him sadistically staring at Mowgli while the latter was in a pool and drowning, and then left? That makes him heinous enough for me. Also, his murder of Mowgli's mother isn't off-screen villainy to me because it would explain why Mowgli is all alone in the jungle and why the wolf pack adopted him. I'll go with a yes.
