1. Hook's death, just like the deaths in Scream Noir 2's 3rd episode, are some of the deaths i wish to people like Sofia Lamb. Since this wiki doesnt count her as pure evil for some reason, i'll propose her to the category soon. Zachary Hale Comstock and Frank "Atlas" Fontain are also pure evil, yet Sofia is IMO a bigger hate sink, not to mention more evil and more repulsive. Some might see her as similar to Cindi, except Cindi can claim she do her own dirty job. In the ending where Eleanor saved her, do you think Eleanor looked into her depraved mother's eyes and searched for something in her heart that is beyond cold-blooded psychopathy, despite knowing there are no evidents to support it?

2. There's something outraging about the ease that Madoff and his wife justifying themself :-(. Ever imagined how Madoff would be if a symbiote would attach to him? So after watching the new "Venom", i think i got the answer. Carlton "Riot" Drake is 100% spider Madoff. Just like the real Madoff, Riot was over-powered to almost omnipotent degree and was perfectly sane. Not just compare to Carnage. Sane just like the most of us, but with a shark-like mindset. His silver skin and slasher smile are just like Madoff's cruelty, social darwinism ("if i succeeded at stealing from people, they weren't deserve to have this money anyway") and seeing money as far thicker than blood. What he did to Eddie Brock was unforgivable and disturbingly similar to how Madoff ruined people's lives. I choose to be glad Madoff will die in jail and won't hurt anyone again. But lets just say that if the people who lost their jobs and life savings because of him will decide to rip him to shreds, or sending him away in an explosive rocket, even the cops won't be there to stop them. I have a theory that mabye Riot wanted Venom to become like him. Does it mean that Madoff also had a specific adversary (for example: A lawyer like Anne Weying, a journalist like Brock, another stockbroker) to become like him?

3. Recently i began to think about a possible idea for a modern take of the 7 sins. Remember George Phantom from "Phantomime"? So i might update him to be the big bad (or at least secondary antagonist) in "Sin of Life" (temporaty name). In "Sin of Life", George send a special unit of 7 mercinaries after the hero. I have several ideas for the hero: George's crazy son who was meant to be killed to hide the "shame of being the father of such person", Hector the robot who got into George's firing line, a special agent and others. Still working on it. But the part i did planned is that the hero is chased by the 7 sins. The most diabolical of the sins would be Envy. Mecahnics-wise, the sins will either be 7 mercinaries who work for George, or George himself will be one of the sins (Greed). Do you see George better as Greed, or as the puppet-master behind 7 mercinaries? And which hero (not necessarily from my partial options list) would you put there?

4. Thanks for bring this possible plot hole to my attention. I do appreciate it :-). I know two ways to solve the mismatch between the heroes group and the villains:

A. Turning the jaguar guard into one specific hitman. He'll be a black jaguar named  Carlos Panthiero. While being the kind of person who'll invite you to a drink just to get you head into sniping range, he still doesnt share Sobek's zealotry. In most setting we have a mastermind who's more sane than his/her soldier. Here it's the other way around. Not just because Carlos is the lesser madman. It's because Carlos is sane. Faux affably evil, but very sane.

B. Getting Courtney, Berthold and Alister joining to a new survivors settlement. The leader can go either way, but currently i lean slightly more to a human leader. He/she might be benevolent for a change, or at least not a psychopath. Thankfully, most people ain't Maureen or General Tiger, so there's always something to hope for.

5. Maybe that was what made King write "Children Of The Corn". Maybe he wanted to write a whole cult of Margarets, turning them to children and bash fanatics in higher scale with no subtleness at all. I know for sure the children are showing us how religions forbid people to grow up. The corn demon is what we theorize god would be if he/she was existed in real-life. This wiki state that the corn demon is implied to be Flagg/his avatar, but i find it unprobable, both because Flagg work differently and because characters like Anastasia (Mother Abigail in "The Stand", Peter and Thomas' late mother in "The Eyes of the Dragon") are constantly watching him. Very possible that "Dreamcatcher" is also a theological satire in sci-fi clothing. Either way, once again Stephen put the king in "long live the king".
