Does anyone but me...

...feel bad for Ducky and Spike...what happened to them in 6...you know?

Because I haven't come across a single person who seems to feel sorry for what they went through. The fact that it was offscreen and we see them so happy just afterwards---espicially Spike while he's singing---might soften it, but you have to remember what happened. Doesn't anyone here?

Well, either way I gained new respect for Spike and Ducky after that---seeing as they've suffered real pain. I've yet to gain this respect for any of the rest of the gang. Over the course of 13 films. Can you believe it?!

I don't recall what happens to them.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #2 on:** January 01, 2012, 12:12:25 AM

Ducky got her beak stuck in a hive of buzzing stingers. Same thing happened to Spike's tail.

Does the fact that someone forgot mean I'm in the minority? :unsure:

They got stung by bees. Who hasn't been stung by a bee or worse? To me, respect is about so much more than just pain. Why is it that these two deserve respect for a painful mishap and yet the others don't get respect for the things they've gone through or all the good things they've done? Of course I felt sorry for those two when it happened, but I never favored them above the others for getting stung by bees.

Ah I see.

I can't say I felt that bad for them, since, from what you said, they're fine later on. So the stings were not traumatic.

Besides, bee stings aren't the worst things they could have endured. In fact there is a moment in LBT where they faced something much worse than a simple horde of bees: lava. In the first movie, Ducky and Spike were trapped on a slab of stone surrounded by lava, and they almost got hit by it.

Believe me, touching the lava would have caused them much more pain than a few stings to the beak or tail.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #5 on:** January 01, 2012, 12:16:00 AM

But they didn't touch the lava, thanks 2 Littlefoot.

So, I prove my point?

Malte279 · **Reply #6 on:** January 01, 2012, 06:16:55 AM

What exactly is the point of which you wonder about?
Personally I never saw the bee stings as anything overly dramatic (and neither seemed Ducky).

DarkHououmon · **Reply #7 on:** January 01, 2012, 11:38:48 AM

Unless they were allergic or a ton of the bees stung them, the bee stings would be no more than a mere annoyance to them. But they're fine in the next scene, which suggests to me that they either did not get stung or not many bees stung them.

I've got stung by a bee a few times growing up, so I know how painful it is. But a bee sting is not usually serious. It's usually very minor and requires little treatment.

Being stung by bees is not the worst thing that happened to Ducky and Spike. As I said before, they had to face lava in the first movie, and there's no way getting chased by a horde of bees is more traumatic than almost falling into lava.

And the gang has been through things that I would consider worse than a few stings. Here's a couple of them:

-When Cera was getting chased by the crazy domeheads and almost gets crushed by them
-When Littlefoot almost because lunch because he stood inside a sharptooth's mouth
-When Cera and the twins fell from Saurus Rock
-When Cera twisted her ankle (yes I consider this worse than bee stings because it hinders her walking ability)
-When Petrie's wings froze in the sky and he fell down
-When Littlefoot was almost killed by Ozzy and Strut

All these things I would consider as worse than bee stings. Bee stings, while painful, are very minor, unless you're allergic or a lot of them sting, neither of which was true in LBT6 since Spike and Ducky are not on the ground moaning from the stings, or getting treated for it.

But no 1 was seriously injured then

vonboy · **Reply #9 on:** January 08, 2012, 01:53:06 AM

Being stung is not being seriously injured either, though.

It's really not as bad as you make it out to be. I think your just taking one of the only instances of injury in the series, and blowing it way out of proportion because it's the only one, and you WANT it to be serious.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2012, 02:15:39 AM

It WAS serious; people underplay this scene

Malte279 · **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2012, 09:00:54 AM

Tell Ducky that she underplayed it for she didn't seem to care much either, nor did Spike. Seriously, a bee sting is hardly a serious injury of any kind unless you happen to be allergic (which neither Ducky nor Spike apparently were). Why exactly do you think it was so extremely dramatic. Please give reasons for your opinion of a bee sting being so serious an event or so grave an injury.

LBTLover1 · **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2012, 11:46:45 AM

I agree with Malte, however, I'm going to contradict myself. Ducky was not stung by a bee, but was stung by multiple. Depicting there was at least twenty, it could have been serious since all the poison has been on them. But I'm guessing that it wasn't since Ducky didn't seem to care about it that much.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2012, 02:59:41 PM

At least 20?!!!!! :blink: :blink:

Oh, poor Ducky, poor Spike...

I'm talking bout this cause this is the only time the main cast was ever injured in the film series

... I rest my case.

We only ever saw Petrie being chased by that number of bees while we don't know if those were the selfsame bees as in case of Ducky and Spike. It is not likely that Ducky and Spike were stung many times otherwise it would be odd why all of the stings would be so close to the same spot that they could all be covered with a single leaf.

No it wasn't. We see several characters being knocked unconscious (which I tend to consider as more grave than a bee sting), we have Littlefoot nearly drowning in LBT 9 (a fate shared by Cera in one TV episode), we have the charcters being hit by avalanches of rocks, mud, and snow, we have Petrie being rendered incapable of flying for twisting a wing (in the TV series), we have (also in the TV series) Littlefoot being rendered hobbling for steping into a sharp thorn...
With all this I really fail to see the special drama of a bee sting.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2012, 03:13:08 PM

No, no one was ever injured in the film series; half the injuries you pointed out weren't injuries and the others we had to wait till the tv series to see. It was the first time Spike and Ducky were ever injured, making it the first time any member of the gang was injured. And they haven't been injured since---Ducky stubbing her foot on a rock during "The Mad Song" in 8 and nearly being crushed by Spike in 10 isn't exactly what I'd call breaking the mold---it practically is the f***king mold!!

Think what you will of it (but kindly do not continue to use even the censored version of the f-word all the time. It is not helping to make your points more convincing if used in excess), but I maintain my view that the cases I listed (some of which could have been near-death experiences) are somewhat more severe than a bee sting. You have every right to think differently about it, but I doubt you will find a majority consensus on your interpretation of what is serious and what is not among the things mentioned in this thread.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #18 on:** January 08, 2012, 03:38:50 PM

But seriously, can you think of any other times one of the main cat was actually injured during the films series? 9Not the tv series)

13 films and all we got was a killer wasp attack stuck smack dab in the middle. Seriously, after 13 films....??!! You miss 5 minutes oif movie 6 and you wouldn't even know any of the cast got injured. Why the bee stings bother me is that if not 4 those...the whole cast would have got out scot free. But as it is...

DarkHououmon · **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2012, 06:46:51 PM

Another instance of characters getting injured in LBT is when Cera twisted her leg in a TV episode. It caused her enough pain that she could not walk home without Spike's help. That obviously caused her a lot more pain than a few bee stings did to Ducky and Spike (who were fine in the next scene apparently, while Cera was limping or showing signs of pain the rest of the episode).

The idea that the bee stings are the only time the gang got injured is, in my opinion, just silly. They were injured even in the first movie. No one can honestly believe that Littlefoot and Cera didn't get hurt during their fight. They were really ramming into each other, knocking each other around, there's just no way they didn't get hurt from that, even if it was just bruising.
