1. I wonder what superpower Gwen could have. As she was the brain for Peter's brawn in "Amazing Spiderman 2", namely the part where she figured out just how to defeate Electro using Peter's web, i might give her telepathic powers. She could spare us the 3rd movie. I'm not even talking about the fact she could rearrange Peter's head from inside and scare the symbiote away. I'm talking about the fact Peter could never pull his jerkhood with Gwen. She could rearrange the director's brain and cancel Topher Grace's casting lol. We assume "The Amazing Spiderman" is the prequel to the tobey maguire trilogy, right? So that's mean Gwen is long dead by the time Peter engaged a serious relationship with MJ. I know Gwen was a lion to the slaughter, but thinking about the damage she could prevent if she was in Spiderman 3 make me wish she would never been killed. Is it possible to retcon Spiderman's universe to a setting where Gwen is alive somehow and working with Yuriko and other heroes? Arthur Conan Doyle did something similar with Sherlock Holmes, so i think it would make a great deal of sense.

2. So basically, your idea of "off with Red's head" scenario is based on Red being the first criminal to manipulate cops as a mean to stab her partner in the back. That does sound interesting. All of the other killers want to kill Molly, Quazi and some civilians for veraying reasons, so a killer who use cops vs trying to kill them/merely manipulate them to escape the law is very creative from your side :-). The small favors are her main reason to help Jack. I plan Jack to be one of those cops who bribing criminals. My rational on that part goes as insperation from . There's something scary about a cop who bribe criminals (in Doom's case, the criminals whom he bribed are also his private police force). Hope that will make Jask as scary as a killer cop should be.

3. I talked with them. Soon i might talk about it with TV Tropes as well. Until further development, i've finished the rereading of "The Lost World":

A. Our poor King got killed by raptors, just like i remembered. But it wasnt being killed by raptors that make his death one of the saddest in the franchise. The death itself was relatively painless (just a claw in the back and snaping his neck rather than the usual overkill raptors like to do. They killed him like they kill any prey. No anger and sadism involved). It's sad because King was on the verge of redemption. He was left alone in the wilderness after Dodgson ditched him and tried to find the heroes, because he was relived to hear there are more humans on the island. A little more luck and he could join the heroes. Except the raptors got him first.

B.  Sarah and Kelly were even more badass than in the movie, which means something. The scene where Sarah practically rescued Malcolm and Thorne from the collapsing caravan all by herself was a priceless moment of badasshood. You gotta love a girl who pull up two men (one of them was pulled up from his hair. Even Dwayne Johnson would have a hard time to lift someone from the worst point to do so), which both combined are obviously weight at least 3 times more than her, while holding against the wrath of two t-rexes. And later in the book she go head first against raptors while riding a motorcycle to top it all. 1.60 meters of action girl. A pack of raptors on her trail, two t-rexes with the same parental wrath from the movie and Dodgson who tried to drown her, yet she came out in the best condition out of all the characters. At one of the last scenes in the book, where the heroes stumbled upon two giant predatory chameleons in an abounded storehouse, Sarah was the only person who knew how to outsmart them. Keeping in mind these chameleons are arguably the scariest creatures on the island (even the raptors and t-rexes doesnt go anywhere near to their territory at night), Sarah was quite pregmatic brilliant with figuring out how to scare them away with manipulating the lighting system. In the movie she was the brawn for Malcolm's brain, but here she was also the ground-level person to Malcolm's morphine oriented philosophical speeches. These speeches were very interesting to hear (much better than the speeches in the first novel), but without Sarah to save his hide, Malcolm would literally speak himself to death. In addition to saving her whole group, Sarah also served as Kelly's mentor. The scene where Kelly shot at raptors while riding the motorcycle along with Sarah indicate she was a good student to a good teacher. The movie Kelly killed a raptor by kicking him into a sharp pole outside of the building, but shooting raptors from a running vehicle is even more badass IMO. Although i like her cinematic version better, the novel's Kelly nailed it with a capital "poisoned dart right between the eyes". Sarah's feministic advice for her, "most of what people tell you will be wrong", proved right when Kelly found a way out from a raptor infested building. Everyone else were certain the way out lies in operating the computer. Kelly figured out that the real way out is through a tunnel block by a loose cable.

C. Many people, even the article in this wiki, forget how badass Dodgson was. Not everyone can claim they survived compies munching on their crouch and abdomen (they almost ate him alive, until he got up on his feet and made it clear he aint dead, nor dying). No raptor attacked him, so i guess he did something to scare them away for good. In JP3, a child namedEric used t-rex urine to scare away most living creaturs. Dodgson was smart enough to do something similar. He even survived two angry t-rexes at the first time he met them. He did a clever use at an instrument which produce high-pitched irritating sounds, which allowed him to take one of the eggs. Other psychopaths could go there alone, but Dodgson was smart enough to take his second henchman Baselton with him. If i didnt know any better, i could think Dodgson wanted Baselton to be killed. For Baselton's offence, he was neither as intelligent nor as sympathetic as King. What kind of idiot stand still in the middle of a rex nest, right in front of the furious parents, hoping they wont see him because he doesnt move? Just like with King, Dodgson chose the right target. However, his second encounter with the t-rex couple ended bad for him. But the t-rexes cant claim all of the credit. Sarah was the one that kicked Dodgson to their mouth. You dont want to get caught under a vehicle when someone like Dodgson attacking you. Neither do Sarah. Her only advantage in that fight was getting a momentum by clinching the back side of the vehicle. Even after a powerful kick to the head, Dodgson kept on fighting, until one of the t-rexes took him by the leg and put him in its nest. The chicks arranged him a grewsome yet well deserved death. It was a lot more excruciating than what Ludlow got in the film. Think about that scene in Bug Life where Hopper get eating by the chicks, except the chicks tearing on of his cheeks and the rest of his body, to a degree he actually felt a little relife when the last chick ripped his troat open.

4. I really should get back to reading the comic. If Governer is as creepy as i think he is, he might be just as scary as Carver. Does Negan was also creepier in the comic, or he was just the affable psychopath we know from the show? Also, i'm planning the main antagonist in my zombie story as a former pharmacist named Pedro El Gaucho, who turned some of his unsold medications to drugs for creating zombies of his own. Every unsold medication that wasnt became a zomvies drug is used for blackmail sick people and their families. I plan him to be aproximately as scary as Governor, or at least more evil than Negan. Now, if Pedro slam Rick Grimes' head into unconciousness when both are alone, what are the odds that Rick would survive long enough to be saved?

5. is almost identical to my vision of Mephisto. His black cloak, his raven-black hair and menacing emotionless blue eyes fits perfectly to Mephisto. Except a dragon skull as a mask, they look very much alike. He's even pure evil and trying to dethrone his father. Just like Mephisto. I only discovered about it in the last couple of days, so Mephisto wasnt inspired by Blackheart. I hope the dragon skull mask, being dubbed by Tim Curry, being a dark mage rather than a demon, a a Jill-Sidney relationship with Armada, manipulating Paulus (and other fantasy creatures) and want power more than destruction is enough to make a different between this two. What do you say? For the record: Mephisto is most certainly not an expy of Blackheart. I just hope TV Tropes would think the same.
