GF's note on 残酷 suggests adding something like "harsh" (as in 'harsh conditions' etc):
跟“残暴”“残忍”不同。“残暴”多形容人的心态、性情; “残忍”多形容人的行为、手段; “残酷”除此之外, 还可形容客观环境、现实条件等。

I suggest removing "mean" from the entry for 残忍.
It usually suggests:
- petty nastiness
- unkindness
- spitefulness
which is generally weaker and less severe than 残忍.
Diff:
- 殘酷 残酷 [can2 ku4] /cruel/cruelty/
+ 殘酷 残酷 [[can2ku4]] /cruel; harsh; merciless/
 
- 殘忍 残忍 [can2 ren3] /cruel/mean/merciless/ruthless/
+ 殘忍 残忍 [[can2ren3]] /cruel; merciless; ruthless/
