Would anyone like to see him come back? Maybe in the series or another sequel?
I'd like to see him back.
-
The way I see it, if he were to appear in another sequel/episode, it would have him be in the Mysterious Beyond instead of the Great Valley. One idea is that the gang gets lost in the Mysterious Beyond, and Pterano helps them get back home safely.
-
There's a good idea. :yes
-
I've had a gazillion ideas for this, as I am a big Pterano fan too. I'm already writing one where he does return when the gang (with my char Ptyra) go to get him after five years...and he's with a whole flock of fliers and has a thing for their matriarch :lol
-
Sounds good!!! :D
I'm writing one on fanfiction.net called "Sweet Child of Mine."
It's about Pterano having to return because he's the only one left to raise Petrie, as his family was killed by a sharptooth.
-
He could return in a sequel or season, though some may ask why are the gang not 5 years older. Though there is no reason he can't appear anytime the gang are outside the Great Valley. Like I mentioned elsewhere, it would be interesting to see if he is back to his old ways, or, which I'd prefer (not sure about anyone else) he did learn during the last part of the events of the 7th movie and has really reformed. That could help to make him an interesting character.
-
I agree. I'd like to see him changed for the better. Like you said, he'd become an interesting character.
-
But a changed Pterano would be like any other friendly face in the valley....
-
True, but think of everyone's reaction to his return as well.
-
I too would like to see Pterano return in both the series and another movie. For the movie, I think it would be kind of cool if Rinkus and Sierra returned as well and Pterano with lets say Topsy or Petrie's mother (Pterano's sister) help can stop the two evil flyer's and send them packing. And/or maybe in the series would also be nice, that is if they ever do end up on having Pterano return?
-
I personally wouldn't really care if we ever see him again or not. I suppose if they continue the movies, he'll most certainly have to appear again. I for one do not understand the widespread fascination for this character (no offense intended). I for one felt no personal connection with this character, as some of the members here did.
-
I would definitely like to see him again because i am fan of him as well, but that's not the only reason. I would like that Plot, Kor, however i was thinking of maybe him tricking everyone into thinking he was good ( i think he did this already, because i haven't seen the 7th lbt movie in a while) and still be at his old ways, but actually learn something for real in the end.
-
Pterano is certainly one of the most interesting guest characters and one with the most potential for another story while at the same time there seems to be more of a barrier (five cold times) to his return than in case of other characters.
Except for the scenario of a Mysterious Beyond story involving Pterano (a good possibility) there may be circumstances which would allow for him to be (at least temporarily) accepted though not welcomed to the Great Valley. On the one hand I was thinking that perhaps "The Great Day of the Flyers" was to be a meeting of more than just the Great Valley Flyers and that there might be a chance of a temporary suspension for that (and only for that) occasion. This didn't turn out to be the case.
There could be a situation in which the inhabitants of the Great Valley need Pterano either for something he knows (e.g. something he saw outside the Great Valley) or simply because they are in a situation where they need every hand, foot, horn, and wing they can get; and maybe both of the above.
I think a story about Pterano and a rehabilitation of him should not make it too easy for him. Not only would he face distrust and reservation from most dinosaurs (including his sister), but he would have to "act good" in spite of this. What I think would work out really well is a scenario in which he is tempted again. It would be all to easy for him to just save somebody or even to prove his courage in a perilous situation.
I don't think his courage in peril is really the main question about him.
He did leave his followers behind, but the main alternative would have been that he would have died along with them. His main mistake was committed earlier (not making sure that the way was save) and later (total denial of any blame).
I think that Pterano ought to be tempted. A situation where he could easily get personal advantage, but at the expense of his personal integrity (though others may not even know about it). That would be a test of character rather than courage and would show Pterano's nature.
I don't think Pterano as a character who is good or bad only that's what makes him particularly interesting. He might change from his ways in some respects, but I don't think that he would or should abandon all of his characteristics.
-
Yes, that is part of why I mentioned it would be interesting for him to return. Though instead of one of the gang he'd better to be the or one of the focus characters. The whole temptation, having to prove himself, not being trusted, ect, could be a very interesting story and movie indeed.
While it would be nice to see certain other movie characters appear he is one of the ones that could bring along a very interesting and very good, maybe complex, plot as well, instead of the typical you know what to expect plot.
-
Good insight everyone!!! I never really thought of those scenarios before!
-

I'd like to see him back.
Well, I don't know if he'll oficially come back, but I was thinking about a Star Trek Voyager/LBT crossover story where Voyager makes it home, just over 65 million years early! The Borg follow them, attempting to assimilate Earth in its early stages, but crash somewhere in the Valley. Pterano has just come back from the Mysterious Beyond, and just after he returns, the bridge crew of Voyager beams down, and meet the Great Valley inhabitants. Pterano mysteriously disappears, and the Voyager crew is blamed. In reality, however, Pterano has been assimilated by the Borg, and has formed a new collective in his quest for power.
what do you think? Sorry, I know it's off-topic.
-
That sounds like it would make a great fanfic! :D
-
Jedi472 I only have this to say.....
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!
That would be an awesome fanfic...and I LOVE Voyager as well...And Pterano merging with the Borg sounds like something he'd do.
-
In fact you could have Pterano's first two test subject's, end up being his former partners Rinkus and Sierra. That if you like that for a idea?
-

Thanks, guys! I'm still trying to finish A Jedi's Destiny, though...BTW, how do you think it's coming?
-
Heck yes!!! I would love him to return! Hopefully he will, but I did read something on Wikipedia saying that Michael York didn't want to voice Pterano again. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not really a reliable source, so I hope that's not true :cry
-
We will have to wait and see. Like mentioned before, he can realistically appear anytime the gang is outside the Great Valley. If he enters it after the banishment then all of the gang should be teenagers and thus should older and larger then they are in the movies and tv series so far.
-
Yeah, however, I doubt highly that the LBT producers are going to make them teens, because they want them to remain little kids, but yeah, that's a realistic theory.
If you read my story about how Pterano comes back, heh, it's really complicated :DD
-
I really hope pterano comes back, I like him!!!
-

May I sees?
I always thought it would be interesting for Pterano coming back to the GV with lots of other fliers, with their matriarch as his mate...hard to imagine, I know, but hey at least he can lead at least SOMETHING that way :wow . Lol, I imagine him being slightly submissive to her. Submissive enough to be backed into a wall whilst being screamed at for some silly reason :lol
Bah! Little kids, some of them are watching Family Guy for goodness sake :x ! I'd like to see it more 'our age'.

Yes you can, it's actually on the Fanfiction section here right now. First read the Land Before Time 12: Warrior Flyers introduction and then go the the thread that says, "Legend 1: The Warrior Flyers?" and you'll be reading my story :)
-
The likely reason is that way the folks who do LBT seem to hate bringing back movie characters. I'd guess Chomper's return in 5 was likely done at gunpoint or due to blackmail material someone had one someone and forced their hand.
He is an interesting character, but one drawback to his returning, besides the fact that the gang would have to be teens, is he can't grow much more as a character if he is used to much. He can prove himself, and get some others to believe he has reformed, or go back to his old villain ways, then not much else he can do. That is one thing is no character can really grow forever, in most cases. It can look like one can if it is planned out. Like, character x will grow over movies 1-5 in these ways, y will grow 3-7 in these ways, ect.
-
pterano is one of the populairest characters of the GoF, without doubt...
-
It does seems so.
-
I Like The Idea Of Pterano To Return To The Great Valley.
It's Brilliant. By The Way, Pterano Will Not Return Until 5 Cold Times Have Passed Right?
So, I Guess It's Been 2 Cold Times Or Three.
-
Hard to tell since the kids and everyone else does not age.
-
As much as I would like to see Pterano return, I think it would be difficult to work him into the story. It seems that realistically, when he returned, he would just slowly settle down, as opposed to bringing a new threat or arriving at the same time. And as a result, it would be hard to come up with a story that could include him and still hold the interest of others. The same goes for the other characters, like Ali and the bullies. It is better that they appeared in the series, as it seems like they are shorter, less epic stories.
-
There could be trouble brought with Pterano. I'm writing a story in my fanfiction where Rinkus and Sierra try to exact revenge on Pterano by framing him with a crime.
-
i like to see pterano again if LBT return on air.
-
Once again, I am conflicted between my emotional and logical side.
Emotional: I would love to bring him back. he is a great character, one of my favourites, if not my favourite. Seeing how he is recieved by the other adults after his sentence would be interesting.
Logical: 1. The series has shut down for good, so there isn't really any chance... Still, there's no harm in speculating.
2. What sort of story would he lead, now that he has been redeemed as no longer being a villain? Alot of people think of Rinkus and Sierra returning too, creating some sort of conflict, but we don't actually know what happened to them in the end. For all we know, the blast from the smoking mountain could have killed them.
Also, just a side-note, if this did happen, and Michael York did not reprise his role, who could? Who could replace him as a voice-actor? My money would be on Tim Curry, Alan Rickman or Christopher Lloyd. Or maybe Jeff Bennett, if he did a voice similar to Ozzy from number II, but less deep.
-
Pterano was one of the few characters that I wished would return, if not in a movie than in a TV episode. He was probably one of the more developed characters of the franchise, apart from the gang itself. I mean sure we were to view him as a villain in LBT VII, but he redeems himself throughout the film until the end when he saves Ducky's life.
-
Dude, seeing him return would be the best thing ever! Pterano is just the coolest lbt character, no doubt! It amazes me how even to this day that people on here are still fans of Pterano!
My golly, I wish he would just return already! I'm missing him...
-
Meh, don't really like him---weird looking, overly dramatic, and certainly not deserving of as much praise as he gets.
