Honestly? In this specific case, they SHOULD have hurt the dog more. It seemed as if the filmmakers were horrendously aware of how audiences feel about dog deaths in movies and worked around that, but at the cost of never actually selling you the idea that the dog was in any real danger.

As someone who HAS seen the dog horror movie, it's not great. Strong premise and a genuinely good sense of building dread in the first act fails to pay off meaningfully by the end of the film. The scares aren't very strong and the ending is just straight baffling in its execution.

It IS interesting! A water-themed hero who can't use their powers without strengthening the plant enemies that drink said water. Good way of challenging them to think outside the box.

Love how her expression signals that, despite turning to villainy, she still isn't totally onboard with it all.

Seconding monke draw

Resemblance to any other totally unrelated OCs is purely coincidental, I'm sure...

In all seriousness though, great work on this one!

Thanks for sharing what you have! Can't wait to see more of this morally-dubious, divinely-appointed, lizard woman

What are her goals and/or desires? Where do you see her story taking her?

Like, if I spent the last 40 years having my plans foiled by the SAME GUY, I'd get a little annoyed with him too. Maybe enough to decide I just wanted him dead at this point. I don't think it's too much to ask that Mario be allowed to be a little peeved at Bowser constantly ruining his day too.

Not saying that needs to be case for the bing bing wahoo man, but I'd just like to say that the most entertaining characterisation of Bowser in recent memory is the time he decided he was sick of playing games and forgoes kidnapping a princess in favour of just deciding he was going to kill Mario.
