Lewis Dodgson

Well, this removal has been longly anticipated by some users and I'm sure that Romeo and Robot in particular would be satisfied now as ultimately, this needed to happen, so here we go. Got permission from AustinDR to do this btw.

Also, as a side note, I'm only tackling the novel version of Lewis Dodgson as his film counterpart and IDW counterpart are heinous enough and don't have the factor this counterpart has to disqualify them from PE (or any factor for that matter, obviously).

What's the Work?

The Lost World is a book that serves as a sequel to the Jurassic Park novel (which would obviously get a popular film adaptation over the years) written by Michael Crichton. It is about how Ian Malcolm and a few friends basically try to go to Isla Sorna after coming to the realization that a professor named Dr. Levine, who was somewhat desperate in proving that dinosaurs still exist and started a quest to find them after finding a bit of proof and giving some to Malcolm and going to the island Isla Sorna to prove that his theory is correct, has went to the island and seems to be in trouble based on the last contact they made to him through a glitchy walkie talkie talk and basically try to rescue him and eventually do come across him, though not without discovering that his theory about some dinosaurs still existing turns out to be true due to the experiences they would make on the island.

Who is he? What has he done?

Here is his proposal. Go nuts: https://villains.fandom.com/f/p/3179493162221867072

Why he doesn't qualify?

You know Dodgson's whole crime of causing the deaths of about multiple people through a rabies-vaccine test? The crime that got him approved? Yeah, it happened prior to the events of the story and was not shown onscreen at any point. Yeah, we know the crime happened, but that was through characters bringing it up and mentioning it through conversations a few times and being brought up briefly by the narrative while giving a quite brief description of him in the Exploitation chapter without showing any onscreen effects from it. We don't see any bodies, pattern, crime scenes, remains, or anything of the sort. The only effects we get are Biosyn getting an unsavory reputation due to their head of research being Lewis Dodgson and the company having to hire Baselton to protect their image but even these themselves aren't really shown onscreen and even if they were, I doubt it'd be enough to disqualify this crime as offscreen villainy.

His other crimes? Not really heinous enough. While his act of hiring Dennis Nedry to steal embryos from InGen did result in him shutting off the power which caused the dinosaurs to escape and get some people killed, this was not Lewis' intention and it's never established if he was aware of the consequences of him hiring Dennis to do so at all, so this doesn't count. Him getting the dogs barking in the Exploitation chapter relies on fridge horror in that it's not made clear what he did to the dogs to get them barking or if it was even heinous. Him trying to kill Sarah Harding is literally just that, a generic kill-the-hero act.

So yeah, the actions Lewis Dodgson committed that would make him heinous enough are offscreen with no real onscreen effects from them and his crimes outside of that are insufficiently heinous.

Verdict

So to sum it up, Lewis Dodgson suffers from offscreen villainy and as such, he will need to go. A cut from me.
