1a. Sounds like the premise of "Pet Cemetery". I like him better in his "Van Helsing" version, but his original sounds interesting too. I wish Bram Stoker was here to see "Van Helsing" and "Pet Cemetery".

1b. That's explains why he was so specific about dealing with Sauron himself, and not letting anyone else come with him. Just the thing Stalin would do. It also means that Stalin had plans to stab Hitler in the back, except Hitler was the first to draw. I don't get how he knew Hitler is similar to him, yet couldn't see his own reflection and guess that a backstabber just like him will stab him in the back.

2. He was abusing his wife for a long time. Maybe to this very day :-(. I hate domestic abusers, and I hate even more the people who still giving jobs to these kind of people. I can watch his movies/seeing him only if I pretend he's someone else. That's also the reason I don't see Mel Gibson's movies (racism is an ultraviolet flag), or tolerate Kevin Spacey's movies only if his role is suiting his real personality.

3A. You're saying I-Rex suffered more, because at least I-Black met people (abusing and all, but still), while she was isolated from anything other than her dead brother? I disagree, but it's an interesting point. With that said, I still think Mills hurt I-Black more than Hoskins hurt I-Rex. Also, as much as hunting Maisie is a horrible thing, I-Rex did the same and worse.

3B. A personal confession: I happen to have experience with both neglection and abuse. I see abuse as worse, because it's easier to heal from neglection. It will take long before i'll tell you the whole story, but for now I can say that the education system slandered me and encouraged the other teens to be mean to me. Some of my own flesh and blood hated me/threw me behind their back. I know some people had worse times than I did, but my worst time were hard, cutting me deep and seriously damaged my opinion on life. I do hope none of the Dodgson you met every brought you to these situations.

4. The movies were truly horrible and ruining Christopher Reeves' legacy. An equally important reason is that Superman ain't much of a character. More like a one-dimensional force of nature. Not interesting, self-righteous, pretty weak compare to his powers (you give him kryptonite and he's down. Other heroes went through serious agony and challenges, and emerged victorious and stronger. Superman can't suffer from long lasting difficulties, because he can always reverse time) and dealing with mostly boring villains (other heroes have interesting and challenging villains. Part of what defines a hero is his/her villains, so good villains are important for a good hero). The only characters in his universe who got my interest are Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman.
