Title: The best traits of the gang.
Post by: Chomper98 on September 04, 2012, 04:52:01 AM

While I point out many flaws in characters, I also would like to make a topic based on their good traits. Here's my thoughts:


Littlefoot: His compassion and his loyalty to his friends, his maturity later on in the series, and bravery.

Cera: Her hard-headed take no c*** personality, her determination, her strength.

Ducky: Her sweet lovable nature.

Petrie: His funny, cute speaking impediment.

Spike: His resourcefulness and loyalty.

Chomper: His loyalty, sweet side, and bravery(attacking a full grown Giganotosaurus takes alot of bravery and loyalty). His nose.

Ruby: Her intelligence.

Remind me of any I may have forgotten.

Well, there's always supporting characters:

Grandpa and Grandma: their experience, wisdon, compassion, and patience.

Daddy Tops: the fact that you cannot break this guy. He may have many negative qualities, but dang if he doesn't have the physical and mental fortitude to keep going when things are at their worse.

Yeah, man Topsy is stubborn when it comes to certain things, in a good way.

Indeed. I actually found myself partially siding with him in LBT3 when he started carefully regulating the assigned turns at the watering hole. The film paints him being in the wrong when driving dinosaurs off when it wasn't their turn, but actually, he was in the right that time.

Yeah, though he was portrayed as a bad guy, he was trying to make sure everyone got a share.

TVTropes calls it "Strawman Has a Point" or "Jerkass Has a Point".
