Jurassic Park: Why John Hammond Was Right

John Hammond is often seen as one of the villains as the Jurassic Park series. He's portrayed as a megalomaniac capitalist who plays god... which...fair. But Hammond actually displays the true theme of the film, which is adaptation and evolution. Unlike most movie villains, Hammond fully understands the error of his ways, and becomes a conservationist who lives in harmony with nature, rather than trying to control it.

Marvel originally planned for Kang the Conqueror to be the big bad of the multiverse saga, but later pivoted to Robert Downey Jr returning to play Doctor Doom.
