Happy 2019 to you too bro! :)

1. I heard of some movie like that and Irvin might even be the same one. The premise is definitely an interesting one and a lot like Orpheus and Eurydice in journey but the Demons sound moreover like Dementors. With it that kind of sounds 50/50 as the consequence is similar to the Dementor when it attacks but avoidable provided they'd follow one strict guideline.

2. Miles sound cool and interesting. I also like the dad possibly being a reference towards Gwen Stacy. That version of Doctors Octopus sounds a bit strange given it's even in the present unlike one version from a video game that in the future was a fan and wanted to be similar vs the actual "original". Kingpin to me is often an interesting villain as he's more realistic and even somewhat affable and can honor his deals. Given he's extremely strong and intelligent he's definitely a threat in more than one way. Carmine Falcone I'm not the most familiar with outside the show Gotham, personality wise I'd say they are somewhat similar though likely a compliment for Falcone given he doesn't seem nearly as physically strong.

3. I love the phrase and trope to where a lot of my characters tend to be it though Jester is one of the most upfront examples. I personally a man pretty close to it's mindset given this world being so messed up. Often the brothers either have a crush or previously did (Edward marries her in Brotherhood/manga) but I agree their present probably could of been better. It definitely would be incredible to see how much more they could've done had their dad (Van Hohenheim) been there. Alphonse was right in the Brotherhood version where Hohenheim only left for two reasons: Stop Father and get rid of his own immortality (basically cursed with it) vs 2003 Hohenheim who left to keep a secret where is body & soul rotted due to stealing others bodies (different immortality and not cursed) though by present apparently didn't want to continue taking bodies to preserve his life. Dante is basically a psychopath with a God complex that's obsessed with obtaining immorality while Father is a immortal asshole who views everyone as inferior, so basically they view others only as tools. I hope the anime isn't upsetting you and bribing back bad memories. :(

4. Colonel McCullough definitely seemed to and genuinely had somewhat of a point plus kept to his ideology to the end. I don't think anyone can condone what he did especially to his own son but it came across as an act he hated and decided to do the same to himself once infected. I think Marlene would likely at minimum try to kill herself if infected but might panic especially if the infection messes with the mind. The game I think wanted her to be read either as a genuine believer / would-be savior or as a woman who is attempting something out of desperation and delusion to the point of possible hypocrisy. Due to the game kind of leaving things to interpretation McCullough could fit either though I say he leans more towards Marlene.

5. I agree Syndrome likely just focused his direction slightly for petty revenge. I think he only wanted to use Jack-Jack to hurt the family vs even really a desire for a sidekick by forcing them to fight to the death with their own son with either outcome being a win in his eyes. It makes it clear he'd have no issue killing his owners kid but not necessarily sure he has actually tried/succeeded in it.
