Screen Time Experiment - Land Before Time characters

Even if it wasn't the same-same treestar, it's still the one his mother "gave" him in that scene where he heard her voice. He even tells Ducky it's mother's special gift, so when it was destroyd, it definitelly broke his heart.

I guess, but since we don't see him react that way,  it's possible he may have been able to seperate it from his mom. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't tell Ducky his mother gave it to him, and there really isn't any time between when they meet and when they encounter Petrie when it could have happened.

in this case how would Ducky know?

Littlefoot: Well, you can't. You're tearing my tree star.
Ducky: lt is very special. His mother gave it to him. She did.
Petrie: Ooh! Mother present. Very important. l keep safes. Don't let nobodies touch.

They ended up bringing bad luck to the Great Valley as they were the ones who broke Saurus Rock,

THAT. WAS, NEVER. CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!

That was NEVER confirmed! Why are you stating that like it's fact?? We don't know that!

Me, personally? I don't believe it EVER caused bad luck (I mean, it's not like there aren't other films where something bad happens n in the great valley!), but do I act like I know that for 100% sure? No! So why are you? Are you trying to deliberatelty mislead people??????

This isn't just a case of having a different opinion. You're deliberately stating your opinion like it's factual.

  Ichy is definitely an evil character,...  He did display somewhat psychopathic tendencies, as he, too, was willing to kill the Gang in cold blood

I feel these are way too opinionated. You're acting like your opinion of him being evil is definite. I get that people will see him as evil, but carnivores are pretty debatable, like the original Sharptooth. So it's unfair to even compare him to Sierra, who I will agree is definitely evil, even if he's one of my favorite villains of the series.

[GreyLizard226]

His timely arrival ended up ensuring the defeat of the two Sharpteeth, and he parted ways with Littlefoot by telling him that he didn't need him as a hero because he already had one: his grandfather.  This inspired the young Longneck to portray his grandfather as the Great Dinosaur who protected the Great Valley...

He was the leader of a small group of bullies who picked on the Gang on a regular basis, and he even succeeded in getting the Gang disbanded by Topps by using Nod to frame Littlefoot for a wrongdoing he didn't commit

(Doesn't disbanded mean when everyone willingly splits up? Sure, Cera's dad wasn't allowing her to play with Littlefoot, but she didn't let that get in the way of their friendship. She sought him out when her dad wasn't looking, and even went to meet with him and the others in the middle of the night. )

I honestly have to ask: why are you writing all this stuff down that most fans already know, espicially after all the time you spent adding up screentime ? (Which you did an amazing job, on btw!)

I get making charactrer biographies, but the fact that you write it all in past tense suggets you think we already know all this stuff. The above quotes are just a few of many such instances. So it comes across as rather condescending, in addition to being opinionated.

I'm sorry, I know this is probably rude. I know you went to a lot of trouble for this project, and I really appreciate the amount of work you did adding up screentime for all the characters.

But I have issues when I feel people are being condescending or opinionated, or saying things that are confusing. So that's why I'm reacting the way I am.

when they rescued him from the Sinking Sand after his own two friends stood there and did nothing, instead choosing to argue with each other over who should save him. 

Funny you seem to really hate these two friends but don't write anything about this in your biographies for them, lol

GreyLizard226, it is not polite at all. :/

If your opinion and your views of facts about whatsoever doesn't match with someone's, it's not the reason to order someone to stop writing theirs. ESPECIALLY in project threads like this one, when people spent I dunno how many hours/days to analyze and compose their work.
Not to mention spam behaviour for past year.

And "why are you writing all this stuff down that most fans already know" critique is just beyond my understanding... Diddy decided to write a well-known fact, or decided to not only calculate screentimes of each character, but also write some description and analysis - that's all, that's their right to do so.

[Mumbling]

I have to agree with Sneak here. You are taking this too seriously, GreyLizard. Please dial things back a bit.

Diddy is the one who started this. I don't have a problem with him writing biographies...but I don't like him presenting opinionated statements as facts. Or unconfirmed things as facts. ( If there was ever ACTUAL confirmation that Saurus Rock being broken deftinitely brouight bad luck, I apologize for not being aware of it.) And writing all this stuff that fans are presumably aware of in past tense gives it a condescending vibe.

I'm sorry. I know he put a lot of work into all of this and I really do appreciate it all.

[Mumbling]

Diddy didn't "start" anything. Please consider this an official warning, you're being extremely rude. Saying sorry right after you say something rude does not make it less rude.

I felt Diddy was being kind of rude and still do, but I apologize for the disruption. I don’t want to cause trouble. It’s just that I’m very sensitive to certain things like this, and was just voicing my frustration, hoping that Diddy would respond to me and explain his side better.

I admit that I do feel like you’re “siding” with him by not trying to look at things from my perspective. But I don’t want to upset people for no reason, and I don’t want to be blocked or anything.

He hasn't attacked you. He wrote down some information on a children's movie and you call him rude for it because you see him as presenting his opinion as fact.

If you really want us to go in-depth on a fictional movie's probable character motives, you should present things differently, for example:

Your post:

    They ended up bringing bad luck to the Great Valley as they were the ones who broke Saurus Rock,


THAT. WAS, NEVER. CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!

That was NEVER confirmed! Why are you stating that like it's fact?? We don't know that!

This isn't just a case of having a different opinion. You're deliberately stating your opinion like it's factual.

^ Of course it wasn't confirmed. It is what the kids believed. It is what was implied, very heavily, in the movie. They sang a song about it. The kids were scared about it. No one is going to spell it out for the viewers, but it was heavily implied. But yes, it wasn't confirmed.

Now if you wanted to start a discussion like a non-rude human being, you'd have posted something like this:

    They ended up bringing bad luck to the Great Valley as they were the ones who broke Saurus Rock,

"I think that is a common opinion, but I actually believe they didn't bring bad luck to the Great Valley. It was after all, never confirmed by the writers, so it could be that they brought bad luck, or it could be that they didn't bring bad luck."

Honestly we are not "siding" with anyone. You are just being extremely obnoxious and then immediately apologize afterwards, as if that makes things right.

Now I understand that you are probably on the spectrum, and that is okay, many of us are. But that does not give you the right to act like a tyrant. Stop attacking other members, stop calling them rude for simply posting their thoughts. People have been reporting your posts left and right, people have called you out multiple times in public too.

Perhaps you feel like the entire forum is against you... But you have to ask, if the entire place is against you, is the place the problem, or are you?

I hope you have some time for an introspection. I expect no further comments on members being rude for talking about probably events in the movies or tv series. You're welcome to start a discussion, but please re-read your post two times before you post, and if you feel like you need to apologize for anything in the post, I would recommend leaving it out or rewriting that section. Because you are the one being rude, and we are done with it.

Thank you for trying to understand my point of view. I am indeed on the spectrum, and constantly struggle in real life because of it. But I know it's no excuse to treat others badly.

I think if Diddy had responded to me and explained his side, I would have been able to reconcile his comments that I...didn't care for. Since he never did, I let my frustration get the better of me, and I see now that nothing good was ever going to come of that.

I guess I just felt frustrasted because I felt that no one was hearing me on certain things. That's why I really appreciated your idea on what I could have worded better about the LBT 6 thing, Mumbling. I partially used it to make a thread just now, one I hope is respectful enough. Do you have any suggestions on how I could rephrase the next few comments I made?

  Ichy is definitely an evil character,...  He did display somewhat psychopathic tendencies, as he, too, was willing to kill the Gang in cold blood

That first part I STILL feel is him trying to present his opinion as fact. Since Ichy is a carnivore, I never really saw him as acting outside of his natural instinct. I don't mind it if Diddy thinks otherwise, but him saying Ichy is definitely an evil character---as if there isn't any other way of seeing the character---is what bothered me.

I hope that explains things a little better.

But I'm pretty sure he doesn't tell Ducky his mother gave it to him

in this case how would Ducky know?

Littlefoot: Well, you can't. You're tearing my tree star.
Ducky: lt is very special. His mother gave it to him. She did.
Petrie: Ooh! Mother present. Very important. l keep safes. Don't let nobodies touch.

She clearly just assumed. I already mentioned, there's no point where Littlefoot could have told her about it.

This villain, like Sierra, had no remorse, Ozzy was definitely a psychopath, but not on the same level as Sierra was.  I still think the Flyer was a lot worse than this Egg Stealer.

While I do like Ozzy, I admit understand the comparision of him to Sierra much more than with Ichy, as he does attempt to kill for the sake of revenge rather than food.  I'm glad that you at least think he's not as bad as Sierra,.

after his own two friends stood there and did nothing, instead choosing to argue with each other over who should save him. 

I kind of feel you're looking for reasons  to make these characters sound more "evil"  than they actually are. I'm don't think they actually wanted their friend dead, at leas that's not how I perceived it.
