Rather than call this topic "Your Thoughts On The LBT Villain Songs", it could have been instead named "Your Thoughts On The LBT Antagonist Songs".

Exactly. How do you change the name of your topic, though? :crazy

An admin has to do it I think.

Oh and I finally gotten around to uploading a couple of videos. The Friendly Sharptooth did respond to you, Bruton, but it was in the form of a video that he was having trouble uploading. The video is in two parts, 15 minutes long, so a total of 30 minutes.

Part 1
Part 2

Here you go.

Thank you so much Friendly Sharptooth! You were really nice and I loved how you kept to your own opinion! Andyes, maybe I did say that nice stuff cause I may have felt some stuff I said was offensive, so I'm sorry. I think you're awesome and that this is the start to a beautiful friendship!  :)

By the way, I'm going to go see "Breaking Dawn" pretty soon. I'll tell all about it later!

So far, only The Friendly Sharptooth does it. He just finds it easier for him to express himself and his opinions through verbal words than through text. He made 2 video responses. This is his second one, and I think the reason why he made a video response was so that he could show clips of LBT8 to further backup his opinion. The first time he did it, it was on the Wrong Way topic, and he wanted to illustrate with his hands the locations of certain places I believe, so that's why he did a video response on that.

I'd like to try that, although, I wouldn't be the best at it.

I must say I like 'Very important creature', but in my eyes Pterano wasn't really a villain (moreso his two partners). 'We are big' also comes close to being a villain song, showing that they really do want to hurt littlefoot and the others... But the other songs are made for pure entertainment and do not hold any evil or angry text in it.

Which is why "Who Needs you?" and "Eggs" will always be the best LBT villian songs. :smile

“Very Important Creature”- That song pretty much validates his heart. “They think we mean to do them harm, but we only want what’s best.” He’s like the thief that steals to feed his family. He uses his means to justify his ends. He has a white heart inside a dark body; he commits foul deeds for a noble cause. He reminds me of Cera in a way. It’s minor, but, you know how he feels superior to others, Cera sang a line in XII that shows the same thing. During “One of Kind,” she sings, “Doesn’t he know? Can’t he see? The best Three Horn in the valley is me!” So I think Cera and Pterano both have that complex of being better than others. Pterano was following his inner map to good, but his conceitedness steered him down the wrong path.


Ditto for "Standing Tough", which I think, if "The Mad Song" is on the list, it should be added to the list, too. It's  a song that is completely deserving of the analyzation FriendlySharptooth gave "When You're Big", "The Mad Song", and "Very Important Creature". That, and it's one of my all time favorites.

That song showed us the exact same side of Cera's dad that Friendly Sharptooth pointed out in his "Very Important Creature" review---Topps was doing what he felt was right by rationalizing the water, but it was his anger that steered him down the wrong path. To put it simply, he was being cruel to be kind.

And by the way, FriendlySharptooth, I'm not sure if this was a mistake or not, but the line “They think we mean to do them harm, but we only want what’s best.”  was a sarcastic line by Sierra...just thought I'd point it out

Gee, we only have 5? Such a shame.

We have 6, if we are to count all antagonist songs. If we are to count villian songs we only have about 3.

When I was younger, I didn't really agree with what Topsy was doing. But as I got older, I realized that he was right. They didn't know when the waterfalls would start running again and the water levels were getting lower from everyone drinking it.

Yeah one could say he was cruel when he tried forcing restrictions on the herds in regard to water, including the children, but his way of thinking may have been the right way in this case. Trying to make the water last is important; if they just let anyone take a drink, that could reduce the length that it would otherwise have lasted.

This was survival, and I felt that Topsy's idea was the right way to go; to make everyone conform to the water restriction so that it would last longer. It might seem unfair to the children, but I don't see why they should be given special privileges just because they're young. What of the adult dinosaurs? Would they find it fair when they cannot drink but a kid of their species can?

Other people might think differently of this, of course. I may change my mind after rewatching the movie. But at this point, this is my stance on Standing Tough.

I do agree with every thing you said, DarkHoumon, but I don't see "Mad" as any more of a villian song, since Cera never had nasty intent, so if "Tough" isn't a villian song, then "Mad" definitely isn't.

Eggs: Love this song to death.

When You're Big: Never liked this song, yet don't understand why others do.

Who Needs You: It's just, 'meh'.

Very Important Creature: One of the best LBT villain songs I've ever heard.

Mad Song: Just 'meh', again.
