Title: Which LBT parent would you want as your parent?
Post by: brekclub85 on January 21, 2009, 10:23:24 PM: Here's just a random, LBT-related thing I've wondered. If you could have any of the parental LBT characters as your legal guardian, who would you want? (This question is just for fun.)

Personally, i would like either Tria or Chomper's parents. Tria's an ideal mother: kind, caring, but tough when she needs to be. Chomper's parents are funny, which is another good parental quality in my opinion.

What about you guys?

Post by: Cancerian Tiger on January 22, 2009, 01:43:15 AM: Either Tria or Mama Swimmer :D. They're both very maternal and seem to be ery understanding, caring and not racist.

Yea I'll go with those. :p

Post by: landbeforetimelover on January 22, 2009, 02:24:54 AM: She doesn't still have to be alive does she? If not, I'd definitely choose Littlefoot's mother. I really liked her character. :smile

Post by: brekclub85 on January 22, 2009, 08:18:05 AM: Yeah, Petrie's om would be my third choice.

Post by: Drake on January 22, 2009, 12:34:27 PM: Chomper's parents because they seem very nice. Have a sense of humor? Plus they seem to be very patient. They accept Chomper's being friends with the main food group and they even let him move to the Great Valley. They're also dedicated since they come looking for Chomper.

Post by: crazedwriter on January 22, 2009, 05:31:01 PM: In no particular order:

Littlefoot's mom even if she's no longer with us. She's compassionate, caring, loving, and wise. Then Bron, Grandpa and Grandma Longneck, Ducky's mom. Tria? Yes as she's a perfect foil for the gruff Topsy. She reminds me of my aunt trumping my uncle when he's on a roll. :lol:

Post by: The Friendly Sharptooth on January 23, 2009, 03:41:11 AM: Chpmer's parents for sure, or Dein and Terri (their names of you read Sharptooth Valley.) I will base my feelings on the movies that they are in- II and V- for my answer, since not everyone has read Sharptooth Valley, in which they are explained in more detail.

They're also dedicated since they come looking for Chomper.

I feel the exact same way.
Reason from The Great Valley Adventure (II)- Sharpteeth are aware that flateeth are their enemies and are thus hated by most of them. Chomper's parents could see by the Great Valley's number of inhabitants that they were very mismatched in power and that it could cost them their lives to got there. But they wanted so desparately wanted to find their child that they entered it to get him or her. This would be the equivalent of your child getting kidnapped by a California street gang, then you going to them in plain sight to rescue your child, knowing that they can and will try to kill you. Now that is not only devotion a family, but immense courage. I love parents who value their children over their one lives.

Reason from The Mysterious Island (V)- It is nice to have parents who know when to chat, but also know when action is needed, and are also able to go through with those actions when the time comes. Seeing a powerful foe- the green sharptooth- threatening their son, they didn't try to talk him out of it. They come up and simlpy attacked the one threatening their child. This sharptooth was obviously very deadly. This would be the equivalent of someone pulling a gun on your child but you charge the person in hopes of stopping him, risking your life in the process. Instead of wasting time by, "What do want?", "I'll give you anythng!" "Take me, and leave the boy alone," or anything of that nature, they simply took immidiate action and didn't waste time when their child's life was at risk. I love parents who talk a lot, yet know when talking is a bad option and action is the only answer.

Chomper's parents are among my favorite adults in the series. I know I can count on their immense strength when I'm in danger, yet have their warm nurturing all the time, simply because they love me so much. Besides, if Chomper's parents were my parents, that means that Chomper- my favorite official character- gets to be my brother. It doesn't get any better than that for me. This was a wonderful question and I'm happy it was posted. Later!

Post by: Littlefoot1616 on January 23, 2009, 06:57:39 AM: I'd say Littlefoot's grandparents. They're kind, caring, understanding, do not operate on prejudice and are just warm and welcoming (perhaps to a fault). Sounds like my kinda folks :D

Post by: Dash The Longneck on January 23, 2009, 12:44:18 PM: Littlefoot's grandparents.

Post by: Kit12 on January 28, 2009, 11:15:17 AM: Oh wow, Littlefoots' grandparents do seem "practically perfect", to quote a disney movie, but my choice would probably be either Ducky or Petrie's mom, they both have their good points of both being very caring but there's also something about Petrie's mom's no nonsense type attitude that's endearing too.

I still crack up when she all but yells at Cera's dad during the meeting in VII. Anyone who can stand up to him had gumption :)

Post by: brekclub85 on January 28, 2009, 11:08:20 PM: Honorable mention: Bron. I think he's a good dad.

Post by: Malte279 on January 29, 2009, 06:53:28 AM: I'm not so sure about Bron myself. I suppose I'm blaming him for the shortcomings of the script writers of LBT 10, but his tale is very leaking and even if we accepted it as perfectly true (we have little alternative but to do so) it still doesn't justify his actions or lack of such. Not only his attitude towards Littlefoot, but also towards Shorty doesn't make him appear like too much of a parent as far as I'm concerned.

You could always assume he was telling a lie when he told that story to Littlefoot.

In which case he wouldn't be a better parent either. No matter if it was a lie or truth (the producers certainly didn't mean him to be a liar, but they just did not care one bit about making the story coherent), it would not have an effect on his not too fatherly attitude towards Shorty.

Post by: Kor on February 06, 2009, 12:05:03 AM: Yes, 10 does have lots of problems with it. But most of hollywood does not really care for continuity and prefer to ignore it when it is convenient for them.

Post by: NeoGenesis005 on February 06, 2009, 01:09:33 PM: It would be Littlefoot's Parents. His mother is an interesting character; her heart is full of purity and pleasantness. And his Father i consider the coolest out of all the Fathers of LBT.

Post by: brekclub85 on June 20, 2009, 11:13:42 PM: One more I think would be neat for LBT parents as my own:

They aren't a couple, but Ichy and Dil would be funny parents.

Post by: Saft on June 21, 2009, 08:51:17 AM: In a sense I have already had two LBT parents in the verse of Littlefoot's Grandparents who are much in the way of my own. My Grandad is both wise and intellectual with new theories and explanations and when my Grandma was alive she was quite like Grandma Longneck. So, in a sense I have already had that from the age of four to six my grandparents looked after me..and I used to pretend that I was Littlefoot.:)

I agree with this. Petrie's mom to me is a tough cookie. :D I like her as a mom. :)
AND I like Little Foot's Grandparents. :)

Post by: metadude1234 on June 21, 2009, 05:56:26 PM: If i could have a parent from the LBT universe, i would pick Chompers Dad because he made a funny one liner in #5. eg:

Chompers Dad: sometimes i worry about that boy......

Post by: Malte279 on June 21, 2009, 06:28:16 PM: Personally I would never want to change my parents for any LBT movie's parents as I love my parents too much for any such change. I probably interpreted the thread title which is likely to be along the "what is your favorite LBT parental character?" line too seriously.

Post by: Belmont2500 on August 06, 2009, 11:52:20 AM: this is kind of confusing but I guess I would choose Littlefoot's Grandparents they seemed caring and I would never(or rarely) get into arguements with them.
