Honestly doesn’t seem ‘well-intentioned’ to me.


* WellIntentionedExtremist: Moreau is one of "The problem is the 'problem'" type - he has a clearly defined goal, to turn animals into humans, which is useless and insane, and he'll do what it takes to achieve it, except, perhaps, learning from his failings and changing the method.

* XanatosSpeedChess: [[spoiler: After they find Moreau's corpse, which demonstrates that Prendick and Montgomery can be killed, just as Moreau was, Prendick thinks on his feet lightning fast in front of the other beast folk and claims that Moreau isn't dead, he's just ascended to the next level and discarded his body. He later has to do something similar when Montgomery gets killed. The explanation doesn't wash for the more aggressive of the beast folk, but the more docile versions, like the dog man, believe it wholeheartedly, which helps Prendick's ability to survive alone on the island for awhile without the complex to hide inside of, until another boat washes up that he can escape in.]]
