Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Abstain on Norton.

You take a couple of days to rest and you miss a lot!

Somewhat late to Date, Philip, Santiago

to Rupert I'll say.

As for Norton... I'm leaning keep him.

Yeah, I think Morgen's point is a valid one. Norton is proud of the painting his wife made, enough to hang it there?

It's subtle but the issue I take is how things line up here: Norton might be an awful prick but his faith means a lot to him, he's placed something his wife created in a spot he can look at it every day at work and we've got another example in the film of a villain who seems to be separating the horrible prison guard he is with the genuine care for the family life he has outside of his job.

I'll just abstain since I haven't seen the film ( I know right ? I really should though soon)'

From a recently finished manga...

what's the work?

Stravaganza: The Queen in the Iron Mask is a manga by Akihito Tomi and translated by Zack Davisson. The plot is set in a fantasy world, with multiple kingdoms about. Humans, elves, and other races: the underground Pockles, the ferocious Loupgarous, the dwarves, the giant Sephaeya, the tailed race called Klords...the human kingdom is ruled by a woman named Vivian and tradition dictates the queen always wear an iron mask. unsatisfied with a stifled life, Vivian often sneaks out as an adventurer named Claria...since the best disguise is her own face. Vivian then notices great problems throughout the kingdom, including an attack on her capital city that absolutely erases most of the populace...the savage Orks are on the march. Our first villain? The elf Golmore.

Who is Golmore?

Once an elder of the elves and a scholar who wondered about the origins of everything; how it all works, what makes the world move on, how living things function, Golmore was a personal friend of King Arkadius who began to grow a touch...darker in personality. On e day when pondering, Arkadius saw Golmore brutalizing a small bird to figure out how it could fly. Stopping him, Golmore left the next day. Abandoning the spirits of the land, Golmore lost contact with his elven heritage, his skin turning jet black and his appearance shifting greatly. Golmore created a toxin known as Escine, which drives creatures insane, rabid and subjects them to an agonizing death....wanting tot est his theories on the world, Golmore finds the Orks, and their brutal chieftain Haku...and shows them a world beyond their mountains. Captivated, the warmongering Haku decides to wage an open war to find an opponent strong enough to face him and exterminate everything incapable of it...with Golmore unleashing them so he can find a decent way to experiment. Golmore finds the Umbers, a race of big, shaggy, white furred monsters and poisons them with Escine, unleashing them upon the human capital of Mitera. In a city of tens of thousands, only a scant few thousand, maybe even hundreds survive the horrible rampage with humanity driven away.

Vivian leads a force to reclaim Mitera and sees the Umbers have mostly died from the Esine. Investigating as Claria, she's captured by the Klords, who are being used by Golmore...turns out? Golmore poisoned their village's water supply and is using them as test subjects, revealing himself to Vivian, who barely escapes. The orks march through kingdom after kingdom, savaging and burning everything they find with sadistic relish and brutality. It leads to an open war, as Golmore helps the Orks from behind the scenes. Vivian leads a force to capture him in hopes he can call his allies off but Golmore reveals there's no stopping Haku. Vivian drags Golmore before Haku in hopes he might be able to stop the war, but Haku, judging Golmore's usefulness at its end, pounces on his erstwhile allies and buries his claws in his throat, sarcastically 'thanking' him for showing him new lands to conquer as Golmore chokes to death on his own blood.

Heinousness?

Unleashing the orks as a genocide force simply so he can test his theories, being the force responsible for the extermination of Mitera, using the Escine in all those other ways...Golmore blows it out of the water, no question. Haku will get his own post, but golmore is absolutely heinous enough.

Mitigating Qualities?

None. Golmore's given no sympathetic reason to have ever become what he is. He's just curious and thinks nothing of using the world as a test-site, with cold glee about the deaths of countless thousands, the destruction of entire races and more as long as he's able to see things proceed to his satisfaction. The elves gives him zero sympathy, with Arkadius saying he doesn't know what happened to Golmore and doesn't care, with his crimes being unforgivable and only death awaiting him for his deeds.

conclusion?

A very easy yes.

Abstaining on Norton. I haven't seen the film and I don't want to vote on it without seeing it myself.

Yes to Golmore.

Edited by Bullman on May 3rd 2020 at 1:06:51 PM

Yes to Golmore. I'll also switch back to cutting Norton.

Yea to Golmore. I'll say cut Norton.

Yes to Golmore.

@acw: For James Harris. Patricia's friend is female so it should end with her rather then him.

In the last IP thread for Monster.Hellboy, it was suggested to move the old pic◊ to ImageLinks.Complete Monster.

I wasn't able to get a higher-quality version until now due to the libraries shutting down, but better late than never, I suppose:

The image is intentionally fuzzy, so it's not going to get any better than that. This is ripped straight from the DVD.

Edited by Primis on May 3rd 2020 at 11:59:47 AM

I really don't want to cut Norton since I'm not sure how mitigating it is, so I'll just sit this one out.

Golmore.

Some pothole suggestions:

• Sebastian Moran and Jacob Land: It's Personal at "make it personal"
• Max Carver:
• James Harris: Really 700 Years Old at "remained alive for four hundred years", Creepy Souvenir at "trophies"
• Niklon: Robot Master at his name, Pleasure Planet at "paradise planet", Take Over the World at "conquer the planet", Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil at "enslave his world's population", The Hedonist at "while he lived a life of luxury"
• Captain Pete Flamm: Space Pirates at his name, A Child Shall Lead Them at "child ruler of an asteroid"
• Shane the Shy: Manipulative Bastard at "deceiving adventurers", Bitch in Sheep's Clothing at "posing as a harmless middleman", Frame-Up at "framing them"

And that's all I can think of right now.

• Ursula: Human Sacrifice at "sacrifice"

For Harris. I would prefer using Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon around handsome instead really 700 years old.

For Carver, Sociopathic Soldier works fine. Or if his troops hate him, The Neidermeyer.

Got 'em, though I used

Golmore

I also do not want to weigh in on Norton right now. Add me to the list of people who have also not seen that movie at this time. That would be one reason why I do not want to give an opinion on whether he should stay or go.
