At this point, I think the only thing that could redeem JtK would be if he became a magical creature a la Laughing Jack. The horrible deformations are simply too ridiculous, and they contradict the whole point of realistic serial killers; real serial killers look and act like ordinary human beings, and that's in fact what makes them so scary.

If I saw Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer without knowing who they were, I would think they looked like upstanding citizens with jobs and families. If I see someone who looks like JtK, I'll immediately assume that person wants to harm me (no offense to bleached burn victims).
