Was Littlefoot really injured by Cera? As much or worse then Spike and Ducky were in 6?

LBTLover1 · **Reply #41 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:07:38 AM

It seemed that way. If I was beaten up by some bully that is significantly stronger than me, I would sure be much more injured than if I got a dozen bee stings.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #42 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:10:08 AM

Oh, and wasn't Petrie struck by lightning in 9? Wouldn't that be as bad as a bee sting or worse?

LBTLover1 · **Reply #43 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:13:26 AM

I don't ever recall that. What time frame was that in?

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #44 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:16:01 AM

I believe some point around the 57:00 mark...when he flies up to avoid the swimming sharptooth

LBTLover1 · **Reply #45 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:19:24 AM

Okay, so that would probably be the biggest injury then. (definitley beats the bee stings Ducky and Spike had).

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #46 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:20:32 AM

Wait---did you just go and watch it?

If so, was I correct about him getting struck?

LBTLover1 · **Reply #47 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:25:02 AM

Yeah, I have it on iTunes. It costs like $10 to get it.

But yes, you are correct. It was 58:32.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #48 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:29:12 AM

Guess it's time for me to face the facts that there are more injuries in the series then I thought. Really, we just fond 3 really nasty incidents Littlefoot, Cera and Petrie suffered, so in reality Ducky and Spike have suffered the least. Isn't that ironic?

LBTLover1 · **Reply #49 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:31:07 AM

Sort of, you could definitley put it that way. The three most used characters face the harsher challenges than the two other characters. It's pretty predictable especially since it happens in many other movies.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #50 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:41:38 AM

Littlefoot, Cera and Petrie are the most used, huh?

LBTLover1 · **Reply #51 on:** January 12, 2012, 01:48:15 AM

Yes.

Littlefoot - should be the most obvious ones to be used in the most of the stories since he is the one that really started LBT. Without him, none of the characters would have come together because of their race.

Cera - Second most used character. She really helps add more conflict and resolutions to plots more than she does on trying to be her character. This would probably why she is the way she is. Without her, some of the plots in the sequels would be impossible to finish unless they use a different character.

Petrie - Ah, yes, good 'ol Petrie. He pretty much uses his flying ability to help out the gang in different areas of searching.

Ducky - pretty much useless except in 7 when she gets stuck in the cave. Pterano would have not been stopped if Ducky never left out.

Spike - Useless of them all. All he does is eat, sleep, eat, chew, walk a little, eat, (you get the point.)

Still (and in spite of the fact that the original movie didn't dwell on it one bit) I suppose smashing through a layer of earth after a high fall is not unlikely to cause injuries

So, does Petre's fall count then as a worse then bee stings injury?

Also, it's possible he was stung by a bee at least once when he fell in the tree, right?

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #53 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:25:51 AM

I often look at this offscreen injury as the turning poit for Spike and Ducky. There are two sides of their life in the series. The first is the innocent days of the earlier films in which they knew no real pain, and then, after the "It's you" scene in 6 when they walk away, the other side begins---seemingly as carefree---seemingly morecarefree, actully---but with the terrible knowledge of fiery hot pain.

Malte279 · **Reply #54 on:** January 17, 2012, 05:51:05 AM

Seriously, I think you blow a bee sting or a couple of them widely out of proportion. I don't see any indication for Ducky or Spike to suffer from that kind of trauma you seem to make it.

PS: I took the liberty to add a subtitle line ("Bee stings in LBT 6" to this thread since the original title didn't let on what it was all about).

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #55 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:43:53 PM

Ok, so then all these "injuries" were worse?

Petrie being struck by lightning on the tail
Petrie being crsuhed by snow
Littlefoot rolling over onto a pine cone
Ducky being dropped by Ichy
Ducky being stepped on by Cera in 12
Petrie crashing into the earth in 1
Littlefoot getting beaten by Cera in 1
Petrie getting crushed by rocks in 1
Ducky getting thrown by Ms. Maia in 6

In reality, all those would be worse than a bee sting. And you can't contest that.

But, since we're talking about an animated movie, where reality isn't very important, maybe the "terrible bee sting" does have some merit inside the LBT universe. So, let's take a closer look.

Since none of the injuries (including the bee-stings) left any long-term marks on the characters in LBT (with the possible exception of Petrie), the only way we can judge the severity of a injury, in-universe style, is the amount of acute (sudden) pain it would cause. So, during an injury we have to see the character's reaction.

And since we didn't see Spike's and Ducky's reaction during the bee sting, and having already established that we cannot rely on reality regarding injuries in LBT either, we cannot know how painful it was. Or can we?

What was the most severe reaction of all? Ducky falling unconscious after hitting the hard surface of water in LBT 4 (water seems very hard when you jump from a high point, and it is painful). She couldn't have fallen unconscius from the bee stings, otherwise she would not have been able to run away from the beehive, and bees would have stung her all over.

So, that's at least one injury that was more severe than the bee stings, and that is using the laws of LBT, not laws of reality.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #57 on:** January 22, 2012, 03:37:26 AM

But in 7 she bit Sierra and he dropped her and she fell for 28 f***ing seconds before hitting the water and didn't pass out or antything!!!!

(I'm serious---I timed it myself and it's 28...f***king...seconds.)

jansenov · **Reply #58 on:** January 22, 2012, 05:09:22 AM

^LBT doesn't pay much attention to reality. Or consistency. That's why I proposed that watching the character's reactions could be the only way to measure the pain endured, on a case-to-case basis. Otherwise, there's no way to measure severity of an injury in LBT in-universe style. If we don't want to use reactions as an indicator, then we will have to apply the laws of our world, and then the bee stings will be far behind smashing and hitting rocks, falling on water from high altitudes, being struck by lightning and being burnt by being near lava. Or, we won't apply any laws at all, and in that case discussing which injury is the worst is pointless, because we have no way of measuring it.

And since we didn't see Spike's and Ducky's reaction during the bee sting,

Which I'm really upset about---should't we see them in their last moments before they get stung? I wanted to see how it happened, their reactions...but we didn't.

Also, did Petrie get stung whe he fell in?!
