1. The novel Hammond was out of the question. Unlike the movie Hammond, who arguably fueled his abilities with his own blood, the novel Hammond fueled it with the blood of others. Creating Nedry aside, this man was very much like the Roman empire when they created the conditions for Geiseric to rise. I don't wanna be Ludlow in that scenario. The benevolent version of Hammond just tried to redeem himself and save his kingdom, even though he might've wished to get even with Ludlow. The dark version would probably kill Ludlow. So i guess that, just like any king, both Hammonds have a cunning side. Masrani most certainly had that side, as indicated when he mentioned his attempts to throw Wu out of the company, which means he considered Wu as a political rival for at least 17 years. Maisie had this side, as her second motive to release the dinosaurs was to overthrow Mills. Would you say Lockwood had that side too? Also, when i think of it, turns out you and George Orwell think alike. A complimet for both of you :-). Very likely that he portrayed Marx as Old Major the pig in order to subtely imply he's still a pig, even if he's no worse than any other of his kind. I wonder how would Orwell portray Ayn Rand. Do you see him portraying Rand as a cruel animal (maybe one of the pigs/one of the KGB dogs/someone like Jones the cat), or like a cruel human (maybe the lawyer of Mister Frederick, AKA the representor of Hitler)?

2. Off topic: Just finished episode 5 of "Heroes Rap Battle". This time, we have Prince Dastan vs Randy Meeks. It was your idea, and i'm thankful for that:

On topic: The pen-mate, a nice guy named Kenneth Tanner, can be found in this link:

Now, the complexity of Scott's revenge is that he want to avenge the very person who almost killed his son. Tatum almost killed her own brother (we assume that in a story were she's Blondeface, she'll replace Billy in each of his violent acts), which means Sidney did justice with Dewey. Just like in the canon, Dewey and Sidney have a warm sibling relationship. When someone is more brotherly/sisterly toward you than your biological brother (with your Sofia Lamb of a brother, it's too easy, even if he did got better), you would be closer to the spiritual brother/sister than to your sibling, right? So does Dewey. Will Scott rethink about his revenge due to Dewey being close to Sidney (most people won't be hasty to kill people who're important to those they hold dear), or will he come to disregard Dewey as his son due to "she killed your sister and you chose her. You're dismissed" mindset?

3. I know you're probaby want it to be very horrific, but for some reason, the first image come to mind when you describes Sir Thomas' death is the part of "Warcraft 3" where Archimonde was overwelmed by light circles:

Archimonde was just like Sir Thomas, so he deserved it just as much. Unlike Grom, Medivh got his right treatment, with being killed first, and then going through genuine hell before being redeemed. Games Of Thrones can teach Lucas how redeem villains as well. Jaime Lannister was redeemed and all, but in the past few episodes, he paid dearly for the horrible things he already done before. He died along with Cersei after a building collapsed over them. The death itself isn't very violent in GOW standards, but there's something jarring about dying together with a sibling while the world is literally falling around them. Jester could appreciate this kind of demise. Would Xylus and his friends appreciate this kind of demise too? Abigail probably would.

4A+4B. Now, when Azazello got his recognition, the next villain i'm thinking about proposing is the removal of Blackbeard. Davy Jones, who's considered tragic, is worse than Blackbeard. No reason that someone who's no worse than a cephalopod psychopath would be pure evil. Does people realize Davy Jones is worse (i assume Armando Salazar is worse as well), or get mixed up from the fact Angelica almost sacrificed herself for her father, without realizing it was her idea? As for Mills: I really neaded this pointers :-). If and when i'll propose him, i should emphasize that creating dinosaurs and cell them for warfare purposes is worse than creating them for a new park. At least Hoskins can claim he wanted to achieve a remotely noble cause, even if he did his experiments on civilians. Mills can't. Just another Dodgson. I might also use the fact spencer is more respected as a way to show that being less respected than a PE villain is a good way for a villain to become pure evil on his own right. As surprising as it might sound, the closest thing he have to a redeeming quality is the fact he wasn't sadistic. His cruelty was more like Sobek than like Maureen. Mostly emotionless striving for buisness ("i dont enjoy hurting people. Just don't give a flying fuck about who'll get hurt"). Like Julius Caesar. Does sadism-free cruelty can be considered a redeeming quality, or just a trait? I know most sadism-free villains are less heinous than the sadistic ones, but the PE criteria page says that there are some uncommon cases where not being sadist make the PE villain even worse.

4C. We should hope that would be the case. I recall you said Clyde is a psychopath because he was willing to kill innocents just for merely suspecting them at being remotely related to Darby and his crew. Hard to blame him though. I might add him to the heroes wiki eventually. He's more of a knight templar hero than a villain, so he have what it takes. I wonder if the people who doesnt sympathize with him are the same people who say weird things like "Jaina Proudmoore is a dreadlord" (she used to be a beakon of peacefulness, until the world spitted at her face, especially after Garrosh practically bombed away her life factory), "Sidney Prescott is the third killer" (killing 2 killers for self defence was the right and merciful thing to do. Except for Motherface, i dont think anybody have the right to say such a thing), "Scar is tragic", "Hitler wasn't completely wrong" and such.

4D. Thanks :-). As said before, i'll add a fictional Alfred as one of the characters. The wish flower will hear his wish to become rich, and kill him in one of the following agonizing ways:

A. Like in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl", when the hero asked to be rich, and the cealling collapsed on him. He stood there and let the ceiling collapse because he thought it's money.

B. Alfred ask to have so much gold that he could swim inside of it. The wish flower pours a hot liquid gold over him. Just as painful as you think.

C. Alfred is tempted by the flower to make everything he looks at to become gold. As soon as he ask to turn into gold everything he looks at, the flower put a mirror infront of his face.

A fun fact about the wish flower: Despite his sadism and build-in wickedness, he might have a degree of honor. Before granting the wishes (only one wish for each person), he'll ask again (example: If someone ask to be immune to bullets, the wish flower will ask "you want to be bullet-proof? It means no one would be able to kill you. Do you want to be indestructable?". Technically, killing the person who asked the wish doesnt contradict the wish itself, because no one can kill dead people). Also, many of the characters of the original "Darkness Around The Corner" were processed to other stories. The original protagonist was a "zone hunter" named Andrey, who acted as a driver in an action scene in one of the later parts. It's hilarious on hindsite, because in one of my former works, i met another driver who's also called Andrey. It's a coincident, because the fictional Andrey and real Andrey are not related, let alone i planned the fictional one long before i even met the real one. Hope this coincidental similarity won't ruin his serious demeanor in the updated story.

5. The fudged-up barbie girls he used to date with make me fear from the possibility that a fairytale character who act like he used to be could have a relationship with Cindi Tremaine. Did you became friends with one of them just out of spite (with a brother like him, i see your point), or because she turned out to be less hostile than what a first-timer might think? Now your ex does sound weird. I know she was a Dodgson, but why did she turned personal space into ignoring? Why it was so easy for her to dehumanizing you? As cruel as i might sound, she should've reconsider the value of her life. Not you. Hope at least your grandfather died of old age. If i didnt know any better, i could think your brother wanted you to take the final jump. I know my own brother secretly wanted it. I have no other explanation to why did he said such horrible things at very time you were suicidal.
