Re: Legacy of a Classic? - The Fandom of Dr. J and Ms. H

I did like the movie and I do like the idea that instead of just turning into an ugly guy that likes killing people, he turned into a hot woman who wanted to take him over and become a person to herself. My biggest problem with all of these Hyde type movies, comics, ideas is that they ALL and even my favorite's from Sephzero for example, are evil/twisted/morbid/completely opposites of the Jekyll. The ONLY Hyde I've ever seen where Jekyll and Hyde were separate minds but worked together as good guys was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I mean I understand the original idea was that Jekyll was trying to get rid of his guilt and have a life that wasn't weighted down by the normal bad things in life, to sort of be free of himself and that it backfired and made another personality. What bothers me about all of it is that to me, even a multiple personality would eventually come to terms with each of the personalities and work things out to become one again rather than running from each other. It's why I think creatures that are usually portrayed as monsters (Vampires, Demons, Werewolves, etc) would eventually produce one or two that were really good and determined to help people and save lives.

Anyway, that's my personal idea of the ideas behind Jekyll and Hyde. I guess what I'd love to see is to have his young son take the formula and turn into a really hot woman that has to deal with all the emotions that come with it (and relationship troubles). But in the end, the two personalities come to terms with each other, him becoming less of a jerk, or afraid of relationship, etc, the Hyde becoming a bit more like him and having real fears and understanding of the feelings of others (not such an outgoing to the point of hurting other's type). I dunno, I like having happy endings sometimes I guess!
