Hmm... What a topic!
...What can I say? How do I proceed here...?
I'm impartial to the GOS (yes, Chomper and Ruby included), I like Mo, 'cause he's so much fun - as a matter of fact, nine was one of my favorite movies - yeah, Tippy was okay, but, ya know, he's practically a toddler, so, his personality just hasn't quite developed yet...
Hmm... I do like Guido; I find that I'm like him sometimes; he's got this insecurity that is SO like me on certain days...
Uhh... Hmm... I don't really hate Topsy, just find him to be rather gruff a lot (despite that fact that my ex-stepdad was actually WORSE than that; well, he's a different (albeit animated) entity so...). He has his reasons... Although, he does seem rather rough...
Tria's fine.
Tricia's cute.
I found myself disliking Sierra more than Rinkus, due to his cold personality; Rinkus just felt like an idiot...
Pterano; hmm... He's an enigma, he is. I like the way he turned hero in the end.
Hmm... Ali, ah, I like her; she seems to have a friendly personality...
Bron, I felt sorry for him, searching for his son all this time...
Shorty... An unfortunate one... I felt pity for him.
I sort of didn't really care for the Old One's gruffness, but, again, she has her reasons, just like Topsy. Sometimes, the only way that someone knows how to express their fears of losing someone else, is to be angry, or gruff, since that's what they were taught... Topsy once states in the "Standing Tough" song, "I used to hear my father say, 'Stand and fight, don't run away.' He made me what I am today..." So... I guess a part of that comes from how you were raised... But, only a part of it.
The Tinysauruses, yeah, they're fine too... Cute little things.
Big Daddy, I never had anything against him, as, just like the other gruff ones, he has his reasons for being the way that he is.
Hmm... Who else...? Petrie's brothers and sisters, well, all I can say is, kids will be kids will be kids... Again, never had a problem there.
Doc... He's quite the mystery, he is... I personally don't know what to think of him. A wandering traveler, roaming around, saving those in peril...
Hyp, Nod and Mutt... Ah, the bully trio... Rough teenagers. But perhaps a bit misunderstood, and, then again, we find out later just WHY Hyp is the way that he is. So, although I dislike him at first, I don't dislike him by the end of LBT 3... Nod and Mutt are just cronies/toadies. I don't quite know what to think of them.
The Rainbow Faces are an interesting duo. (Of course, there's obviously more than two of them, but I was referring to the specific duo in The Stone of Cold Fire.) Enigmatic, quite.
As far as the ideas about "man being gruff is okay, woman being gruff is b****, ya know what? I can't stand it! I just can't stand it!! I see woman as equal to man, because, in Genesis, Adam speaks, "...she shall be called Woman, because she was taken from Man." She was created to be by his side, not behind his back!!!! Whoever said that woman was weaker than man, I'd like to take out behind the woodshed...! A woman's bones may factually be softer, but, woman has the strength to bear a child, something that would kill a man! Who cares then? I'd bet that woman could take a lot more bumps and bruises than a man could! I've seen strength in women that I would have to look a thousand years to find in men! Myself included! :angry:
Sorry to those of you who were offended by this, but, this is how I feel... This is how I've always felt. I have always seen women as equal, not inferior, to men. What, just because we men have testosterone, and big muscles, that makes us superior to women?? Uh, no... No way. Again, I apologize, and didn't want to start a flame war on gender issues... If anyone's offended enough, well, don't let it spoil your day, folks. After all, I'm just another entity, blowing in the winds... And boy, does that idea irk my chain...
