• Tweeny Witches: Grande, the leader and general of the warlocks, continues an over two-century-long ethnic cleansing campaign against the wizards. Planning the destruction of the Human Realm with the forbidden dark magic, which he knew would drive every living thing to despair, he had the True Book of Spells stolen from the Grand Master of Witches more than fourteen years ago.

• Ronal the Barbarian: Volcazar is an Evil Overlord obsessed with raising the dark god Zaal from his exile. Leading an assault on the Barbarian village, he personally murders Gundar and shows an awful treatment of his own troops, even throttling his Dragon for a minor failure. As he uses the blood of the Barbarians to resurrect Zaal, he forces Zandra to fight for him, abusing her the entire time, before taking on the powers of Zaal and killing many defenseless Barbarians. He plans to wipe out the entire Barbarian clan, then move onto spread darkness and terror throughout the lands, promising that all life will submit to him or die by his hand.
• Donald Pierce: The cyborg leader of the Reavers is a raving bigot who's thrown in his lot with the Hellfire Club as the White Bishop for a chance to kill as many mutants as possible. Preferring not to go after targets who can fight back, Pierce deliberately goes after the young and vulnerable, having murdered over 300 innocent mutants-—virtually all of them children or infants-—with nothing short of glee, transforming his Reavers into cyborgs as well to have them kill as much as they want. Opting to torture the heroes if they fall into his hands, and even plotting the betrayal of his own nominal allies in the Hellfire Club, Pierce is such a vile, spiteful, cowardly bully so filled with hate his last words before Cyclops kills him is to say he's just sorry he won't be around to see the mutant race destroyed.
• Matilda the Musical: Agatha Trunchbull commits all the acts from the book, along with additional crimes. Trunchbull is a former Olympic hammer thrower, who is depicted in onscreen flashbacks as making money from a circus where she forced her trapeze artist sister—who was pregnant—to work at the circus or face jail, with Trunchbull eventually killing her sister by cutting the rope. The baby—Jennifer "Jenny" Honey—survived. Trunchbull was then invited by her oblivious brother-in-law to help care for Jenny, regularly abusing the latter when her father wasn't home and scaring her into submission. When Jenny's father came home early one day to find his daughter starved and tied up in the cellar, he went to confront Agatha, only to mysteriously disappear, with strong implications that Agatha murdered him. In the present day, Trunchbull became headmistress of a school. She commits all the acts of child abuse seen in the book and locks Matilda in a torture box known as a Chokey, which she regularly used on children. The Trunchbull’s cruelty expands in scope when the climax of the musical has her attempting to replace all classrooms with Chokeys to create a school system where children will be tortured and "neither seen nor heard". Already known as one of the most preeminent child haters in adolescent fiction, this version of the Trunchbull still stands out as truly monstrous.

You have Matilda: the Musical listed twice.

Evil Batman has catwoman potholed oddly in selina kyle

Also I meant to ask this about Palpatine: why is it some of his entries have his name linked to his character page and others to random tropes?

Huh, interesting.

Edited by 43110 on Apr 14th 2019 at 5:50:14 AM

Actually that charcater page is only for Canon Palpatine in that's only for his Canon appearnces .

His legend stuff like dark empire is troped under Star Wars Theatrical Legends

Okay, with Matilda, that's my bad. I had the wiki word changed to Matilda the Musical, as that's the title...not thinking it would affect the book title too So, um, let me change that back

As for Palpatine, only the canon works should link to his name. And since Darth Plagueis isn't canon, I'm nit sure the quote should call him Sheev.

Honestly, besides de-potholing, the entire Star Wars page is gonna need a LOT of work.

Top Dollar is listed twice

THAT'S deliberate: Once for the franchise page, once for the film page (same thing with Malady: Once for comics, once for DC Lit, as it's both a comic AND novel).

While the name wasn't introduced until earlier this decade, "Sheev" was the name Lucas picked out for Palps - he just never released that name for whatever reason. As such, it can be kept in his Darth Plagueis entry without my being upset, but that's my opinion.

If that's the case, I'm fine with keeping it.

Wait, so Sheev was Lucas's idea all along, not just something Luceno created?

What kind of name is Sheev anyway? It sounds like Ren saying "shiv".

More pertinently, though, I'm inclined to agree with Phantom on keeping the name Sheev.

Vlaew's rewrite goes next week.

So I've been checking out Fear Itself, a horror anthology series which can be summed up as a successor of Masters of Horror, another horror series of the same concept. In fact they were created by the same person, and I first found this series after checking out MOS and saw it as a substitute third season. Series only lasted thirteen episodes, some of which unaired.

One particular episode Something With Bite is a werewolf murder story of a different sort. Wilbur Orwell is a family man and expert veterinarian who lives in a city terrorized by what the media dubs the Beast Killer. As fate would have it, Wilbur is bitten by a dying werewolf, and as he goes through the werewolf protagonist motions, he meets the werewolf parents who explain to him what's happening and that no werewolf they know is responsible (apparently you wouldn't do anything as a werewolf that you would do as a human). However someone wants the werewolves attention.

Who is the Beast Killer ? What does he do ?

Real name Forest J. Cadwell, the Beast Killer is a weak seeming man and a cowardly werewolf fanatic, apparently worshiping Fenrir. At the time of the episode, Cadwell goes around the city killing numerous people in ways that are mistaken for animal attacks, leading the audience on that a werewolf he behind the killings. He goes about this in a makeshift werewolf costume, complete with metallic claws. He has been doing this in hopes of getting the attention of a werewolf to bite him. As it so happens, Wilbur is bitten and goes to the werewolf family for help and advice, believing himself of them to be the killers, before eventually realizing that's not the case. As this is happening, we see a few on the murders onscreen and that includes an employee Wilbur fires. The police come to the conclusion that it isn't a mere animal behind the attacks and go to Wilbur for questioning.

Eventually Wilbur's friend and receptionist, Kayla, is mauled by the Beast Killer in a park before the killer is scared off by police. Kayla survives but is put in intensive care. Wilbur gets pissed and with his heightened werewolf senses, tracks the Beast Killer's scent to his apartment, while transforming. Cadwell is awestruck by the werewolf and brags about his murders to an angry Wilbur, begging to be bitten and asks if Kayla's mauling displeased him, stating that he intends to go to the hospital and finish her off. After Cadwell shows off his werewolf suit, Wilbur begins to rip him apart, thus ending the Beast Killer once and for all.

Redeeming Qualities or Freudian Excuse ?

His entire characterization comes from one scene, and he's shown to be a man obsessed with becoming a werewolf, and his reasoning for being the Beast Killer was a bid to get their attention. He sees werewolves as something to be revered and idolized. When it turns out the werewolf that paid his apartment a visit isn't here to make his dreams come true, he gets mad and goes out screaming "You can't kill me! I'm Forest J. Cadwell!"

Originally I wasn't gonna do him, because he is shown having a pet dog...except he doesn't actually Pet the Dog. Sure the dog is just there but in his entire screen time, Cadwell doesn't show it any affection, doesn't talk to it, doesn't even acknowledge it. It's just there and he doesn't pay the slightest bit of attention to it. The dog is pretty much a prop and doesn't add or effect Cadwell in any way. Like in the entire scene, he doesn't so much as glance or say a word to the dog.

Heinous standard

I wouldn't worry too much about him having to compete with Duane Mellor as none of the episodes are remotely connected. But then again I don't know how we usually handle anthologies as I'm not used to talking about them. That all being said, the Beast Killer isn't a soul eating voodoo guy like Mellor, he's just a regular human being (albeit a crazed furry with metal claws in his suit).

He's the only villain in his episode, and an established serial killer, who two of his murders are shown onscreen. It's made clear that werewolves are not Savage Wolves, as ones behaviour as a wolf is supposed to reflect their behaviour as a person. Simply put; you're a good wolf if you're a good person.

With anthologies, I think this guy could count.

And clinches it, since I think Lighty did Mellor (who I'll de-pothole when this new guy gets written up).

Edited by ACW on Apr 14th 2019 at 7:22:58 AM

Agreed

Yes to Beast Killer.

I'm leaning towards a to the Beast Killer. Just one question, the page mentions their are at least three other serial killers not counting Mellor, how does he stack up compared to them?

Also on the YMMV page they've potholed Serial Killer twice on Mellor's write up.

Good question.

And yeah, Mellor DEFINITELY needs de-potholing. That was one of my older ones (2+ years).

~ACW, I would like to modify Grande's entry to make the spellings of the numbers consistent (either "2-century-long" and "14 years ago" or "two-century-long" and "fourteen years ago"). Please choose whatever you wish.

to the Beast Killer.

Fair enough. It's fixed.

Thank you!

to the Beast killer.

I love how a Beast E Ped a guy named Beast killer

Yeah, how many do the killers in "Family Man" and "In Sickness and Health" have? I'm switching to abstain until I get my answer.

That said, I'll keep my yes. Mellor has 32, but Beast Killer's completely human, and still bad enough.

Edited by ACW on Apr 14th 2019 at 8:04:07 AM

Not enough on the Family Man. There's little actually onscreen till the end and In Sickness...well, it's saved as a last second twist, and there's actually two killers who never do any murder onscreen (we only see some bodies) and it's likely they care for one another.
