Time for another one of The Friendly Sharptooth’s rants. Enjoy!
Oh my gosh! What on Earth were the bullies from movie three thinking? Okay, so the kids find some extra water and decide to tell their families so that there would be less worrying about the water situation. Then along comes the bullies who tell the kids not to tell. Well, being the goody children they are, they decide to do it anyway. So the bullies give chase to, get this: prevent the kids from telling. Does anyone else see how ridiculous of a plan that is?
What could they have possible done to have kept the kids from never telling? Cut out their tongues so they can’t talk? Hold them prisoner for life? Kill them? I mean, the entire premise of the bullies trying to keep the kids from talking makes no sense. In fact, if the bullies had caught up with them, I’d wager even Hyp would be all like, “Duh, now what do we do with ëem?” I just cannot comprehend what that scene could possibly hold if the bullies caught up with them and tried carrying out their desire of keeping the kids from telling about the water.
This is seriously beyond a plot hole. This is going way over the line of making zero sense. In fact, this is so stupid, that I hereby declare that it makes a negative amount of sense. Yeah, even less than zero! This would be like me trying to snuff out the sun, so I build a rocket ship and fly into space. As I get close to the brilliant star, I suffer a heart attack and die. The ONLY reason that that scene worked out is because the kids got away. I cannot see ANY possible way of making the bullies carry out their plan. Sure, if they caught up, the kids might have been able to reason with them about how important it is that they tell, but that is not the point! My point is that the story created a dead-end destiny. The bullies really had no logical method to carry out their plan, so it was just silly for them to even attempt it.
So, folks, any thoughts? Am I crazy, or am I making sense? If anyone can think of a possible way the bullies could have gotten their wish, I’m all ears. But seriously, I won’t hold my breath.
