Littlefoot passed the Big Longneck Test and so is certified by Bron as capable of leading a herd.
Given that Littlefoot is loyal but also a habitual rule breaker, do you think Littlefoot will be a great leader like Grandpa Longneck or a more foolheady one like Pterano has been so far?
Littlefoot does indeed get his friends out of danger, but, on the other hand, more often than not, it was he who get them into that very danger in the first place.
Also, do you think that it would be right that Littlefoot should be made a leader, assuming he keeps up the present trend he's doing as he gets older? I mean, should those who don't follow orders be allowed to give commands?
(Also, consider that Littlefoot is the biggest rule breaker of the Gang of Five, as he wanders off after Chomper even after being told not to, though the others followed the rules that time. As, he alone of the Gang of Five snuck off to the Land of Mists with Ali while the Gang of Five at first didn't come until they had to come to rescue Littlefoot.)
Littlefoot also lied in XI to save his own skin, which nearly proved disastrous for the Tinysauruses, though, on the other hand, he did man up and confess in time to save them.
Also, Littlefoot is hardly ever punished when he breaks rules, and leaders who go through that tend to be creeps if that pattern isn't checked at some point. (Though maybe the grownups let them go through the school of hard knocks, nearly perishing in the Sinking Sand and stuff like that, rather than grounding them or whatnot, as a means of punishment.)
To know for sure how he'd turn out, I think I'd like to see him have to make a very difficult decision, where either choice could be heartwrenching or something where the stakes are high and he might appear to have to sacrifice himself or one of the Gang of Five to do what seems to be the right, even somehow, luckily, though he makes that decision, luckily the ones he was gonna sacrifice don't end up dying.) He kind of does this when he tells Chomper to save himself and leave him when he is caught in a log and fears Chomper will be attacked and also when he risks being eaten by the Swimming Sharptooth when jumping into the water to save Chomper from drowning, though, I'd like to see more difficult decisions, perhaps involving decisions that could result in lives other than his own being lost.
