User blog:Dark Priest Hargon/Pure Evil Proposal: Claire Wyden

Monster films are always amazing! And most of the antagonists of these films are giant monsters like Ghidorah. However there are also human antagonist as well. They are mostly evil scientists like Claire Wyden.

What is the work?
Rampage is a monster film inspired by a video game. The storyline is about three animals getting infected with a type of pathogens and turns them giant and hostile, while the main protagonist need to stop them and save one of the animal, which is a gorilla.

What has Claire Wyden done?
Claire Wyden is the head of a corporation called Energyne, which specialises in genetic engineering. Claire hired Dr. Kate Caldwell to do research on a project, and Kate wanted to use the results of the project to save her brother. However, when the project is going to finish, Claire had Kate arrested which lead to the death of Kate's brother.

At the start of the film, in a space station for experiment, a woman is trying to run away from a rat that is mutated by the pathogens of the mentioned project, which turned it hostile. However, there are only three containers of the pathogens left, and Claire forced the woman to take the containers with her by not opening the escape pod of the space station, although the woman escaped from the space station with the containers, the pod burns up in the atmosphere and exploded, releasing the containers to Earth and infected a gorilla, wolf and crocodile.

In order to reclaim the containers, Claire lured the infected giant abominations to the city by a massive transmitter. Although this could ended up killing innocent citizens, Claire express no concerns on this.

In the end, Claire is confronted by the main protagonists, who have a dose of antidote to neutralize the aggression of one of the animal. And although Claire shoot them, Kate put the antidote in Claire's handbag and push her to the giant gorilla, which eat Claire and killed the mad scientist for good.

Heinous Standard
Claire is incredibly cold-blooded, as she is indeed responsible for Kate's brother death. This can be further expressed when she refused to open the escape pod just to force the scientist to take the containers when there is a mutated bloodthirsty rat around. In the end she even lures three giant monsters to a crowded city just to obtain the pathogens while showing no concerns over the citizens, which just as we expected, lead to a lot of deaths. Ironically, this action lead to her own demise.
