I see you've changed your avatar image! Very nice! I like!!
I will let the cat partially out of the bag in saying that the sequel will involve an offspring; plus another controvertial mating. This time between a flattooth and a sharptooth. I won't say who, though! I'll leave that to your imagination.
And, of course, you had to expect some residents of The Great Valley not agreeing to the pairing taking action somehow, like what happened in the end.
But if you thought the "racism" showed in that story was "bad", wait 'till you see what I have in store for the upcoming sequel.
Serris:
Well, you can't expect the sequels to be just as good as the original.
Isn't that the case with all movie sequels? If you saw the 2nd Transformers movie this summer, I seriously doubt you thought it was better than the first one. I saw it myself. Although I still thought it was good, it wasn't "as good". I still thought the fight scenes between the robots was difficult to follow.
(General comment):
As for the LBT movies, personally, I find the sequels to be better than the original theatrical release. Maybe it's because animation technology has gotten way better than back in 1988. I haven't seen all of the movies yet. I've gotten as far as the 8th installment. I had to skip the 6th one, because "I just couldn't find it". I could only find the opening part on Youtube. Whoever posted it didn't bother putting up the rest of the movie... or maybe (s)he couldn't... I've looked for it in the local video stores in my area this weekend to see if I could rent it, but they didn't have it; and I don't wanna buy a movie, unless I think it's good enough to own.
If I was to pick a favourite, I'd have to say the 5th installment. Maybe because I'm partial to Chomper, and he plays such an active role in that movie.
My least favourite would probably have to be the 8th installment, mostly because they portray Mr. Thicknose as being such a "ninny" in that movie rather than the more wise and knowledgeable figure he is in the TV series.
