Not quite the exact same plot. Helen Hyde is presented as a caricatured villain and acts accordingly, determined to destroy Jekyll. My Helen Hyde would instead of the subject of Jekyll's efforts to destroy HER and regain control of his life.

Yeah, but the difference is she is doing nothing to hasten it.

So the rough idea is he's slowly losing time as himself, and he knows it, so he wants to eradicate her before she eradicates him. she has no evil plan to destroy him, but also doesn't want to die. so it's a catch 22, because she is as real as he is, but if jekyll wants to survive

he has to reverse this process. she is under no obligation to cooperate with her own annihilation. so it becomes about the psychological tug of war and jekyll needing to confront how he's driving this process and how helen hyde isn't not him.

i see a real opportunity to allegorize the recognition of trans identity and the ways it's beaten back and suppressed by creating a genuine conflict in who gets time to exist.

It would be an interesting source of angst if she's the "innocent" one because she knows her own nature and starts out doubting her own reality and right to exist

YUP. if you hand Helen the camera, even in the original 1995 movie, the entire narrative changes. i want to heighten that with a moral inversion.

There's that deleted scene from Infinity War that they could never find a way to shoehorn into Endgame, the origin of the Professor Hulk "Live and let live"
