Hello?

I'm going to say this in the nicest way I can. Be patient. If people want to respond to your topic, they will. If they don't, then they don't. Bumping the topic until somebody responds is not allowed and it doesn't get you anywhere.

To be honest, why would you want to see them get stung? It does nothing to help the plot progress. The conversation was about bad luck. Petrie didn't believe in it, and what happens? Ducky and Spike arrive after being stung. That's all that's really needed. I honestly would not have wanted that scene in the movie because I don't think it would have added anything to the plot.

It's more than likely Petrie did not get stung when he fell, otherwise we would have heard him yell "Ouch" or something along those lines. When he flew out, he was yelling out of fear not pain.

In terms of injuries, I might be repeating this and if I am then I apologize, but Chomper bites Cera's tail in LBT 2. Yes, no scars or anything appear, but getting bitten by something that could have easily torn her tail off (excuse the graphic imagery) is far more severe than being stung by a wasp.

OK...It's just hard 2 be patient sometimes

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #63 on:** February 11, 2012, 02:30:06 AM

I'm just sort of...annoyed that it wasn't shown. <_<

It was just a forgettable throwaway gag in the Bad Luck song. I'm sure they didn't put as much thought into it than you have, even.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #65 on:** February 11, 2012, 02:35:11 AM

It happened before the song, though. So yeah, it was offscreen and could've been shown. I guess the closest we'll ever get is my fanfic of it. Seriously, I have one.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #66 on:** February 18, 2012, 03:38:18 AM

Don't any of you wish it could have been shown or think it could have been shown?

If the bee stings were a conclusion of a kind of an Ducky and Spike mini-adventure, then yes I would like to see that sub-plot. But the stinging all by itself, not really. The stinging scene all by itself would be little different from the scene in the fifth movie where Ducky gets kidnapped by a rhamphorynchus.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #68 on:** February 18, 2012, 02:07:27 PM

Since they had the decency to include that pointless scene why not show this one?

Malte279 · **Reply #69 on:** February 18, 2012, 07:19:02 PM

Perhaps because they learned about not including pointless scenes? Are you complaining about the lack of a pointless scene?
By comparison I would give the scene about Ducky in LBT V a little more credit than I would to a bee-sting scene. The LBT V scene provoked Cera's first open outbreak of distrust against Chomper right into his face (while everything up to that point had been either while he wasn't around or else aimed at his parents). The bee-stings however are (from what I read in all threads about it so far) not considered as anything important by anyone except for yourself. I'm afraid you have a bit of a little obsession about these bee-stings (no offense meant) which just isn't really shared by many if any.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #70 on:** February 18, 2012, 11:46:20 PM

Well, then why even bother to include it if it's not gonna be shown? I mean, it didn't sit well among how things had been going so far---up till then, the whole gang had gotten through the series practically unscathed. For all the perils they've been through, that's amazing.

Plus, I'd much rather see this then the Ducky kidnapping scene in 5, which just feels like what you see in 4 and in 7

Gosh, though, am I the only person to actually put this much consideration into Ducky and Spike's stinger attack? Well, if so, I'm proud of it.

No they hadn't and we had examples listed several times before. I can only repeat that you seem to be the only one to consider a bee-sting anything so serious. Take pride in that if you will but to others your concerns may appear rather exaggerated. Personally I really feel that you are making a sharptooth out of a bee so to speak. A bee-sting is not any kind of real wound or perhaps not even an injury. Judging from the little attention given to it the LBT characters don't seem to agree with you either on this point and this alone may be the sole answer to your ever repeated question why no bigger deal was made out of the bee-stings.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #72 on:** February 19, 2012, 10:56:43 AM

Unscathed? I don't think so. What about Ducky getting knocked out? What about Cera hitting her head so hard that she felt horrible afterwards? What about Cera getting bitten by Chomper? What about the rock slide they were caught in? Surely that resulted in a few bruises or scratches (not shown simply because it's a kids' movie).

These and other examples of more serious injuries have been provided for you, and yet you seem to ignore them and elevate a few mere bee stings as being more important. The gang didn't take the bee stings that seriously. I don't recall them having nightmares about bees. Heck I don't think it was ever mentioned again. So it seems like you really are taking the bee stings more seriously than the gang ever did.

Seriously, I don't get why you continue to believe that the bee stings are more serious than they really are, or why you seem to think something like getting knocked out is less serious than a bee sting. It's just a bee sting. It's only a minor discomfort. It's not going to disable them in any way.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #73 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:50:34 PM

Well, Ducky only fell on her back in 4, that wouldn't hurt as much as the LBT 6 incident, (if she fell face first I'd say differently, but as it is she probably just had the wind knocked out of her ad went unconcious.

2 of the other examples you listed---the gang getting caught in the rockslide in 2 and Cera getting bitten by Chomper in the same film---would't have been nearly as bad as the movie 6 incident either. The other incident you mentioned happens in 10; while it looked bad it wasn't early as bad either.

They've had a few instances when they could have matched the bee stings--- for example, they could have shown Littlefoot gettig really hurt in his fight with Cera in 1, or actually have had the lightning strike Petrie in 9 (lightning isn't necessarily fatal) but both were averted.

Have I proved my point yet?

Malte279 · **Reply #74 on:** February 19, 2012, 08:15:44 PM

You have not proven anything at all Bron!
You just keep repeating your own personal opinion Bron which you are of course perfectly fine to have.
But to once again answer the question that you originally seemed to have "Does anyone but me consider the LBT 6 bee-stings a terrible injury exceeding anything else we had in LBT up to that point"
NO, apparently nobody does.
Once again you are perfectly entitled to your opinion but so is everybody else to theirs. I got to admit that I don't really have the impression that there is any real discussion in this thread anymore. You deny or ignore what everyone else is saying to stick to your opinion. At the same time you do not come up with any arguments other than your personal opinion not backing it up with any further points or arguments other than your view that bee stings were more horrible than everyone here but yourself perceives them to be. Your opinion has been noted and you are entitled to it, but unless you have anything more at all to say to back up your opinion I suggest you learn to accept that others do not consider bee-stings as something so dreadful as you do (by what we see in LBT 6 not even Ducky and Spike seem to).

I made my arguments here:

And I also proved how they could have been injured worse:

Dude, are you seriously still bring this up? What did we say about thinking before you post? You are not posting anything new to the discussion. You are merely re-posting your previous points because you don't want to accept that nobody else agrees with you. If you ask me, this topic should be closed because there is nothing of value that can be earned through arguing about this.

Bruton, nobody agrees with your view. Deal with it and move on.

Bruton the Iguanodon · **Reply #77 on:** February 19, 2012, 11:55:55 PM

Alright, I understand, but I have a few more things to ask

Why did they not have Petrie get actually struck by lightning in 9? They could have injured him, but didn't...or did they? His tail looked black...or am I just seeing things?

And are you sure just faling flat on you back, getting the wind knoked out of you and briefly passing out would be worse then getting stung over and over until you managed to unstick yourself? What Ducky suffered in 6 sounds far worse...but yet people say otherwise. :huh:

Ad 6 was the first time Spike got hurt really bad. Unless the rockslide in 2 counts...does it? :unsure:

Yes, Bruton. Yes.

The rockslide counts. But OK, Spike appears to be a sturdy fellow who has it hard getting injured.

Because they didn't. I don't get why you think so much about it. Not every dangerous situation the gang gets put in has to lead to an injury.

YES! Falling from high above, crashing into the water and becoming momentarily UNCONSCIOUS is far worse than being stung by a couple bees. DUCKY ALMOST DIED FROM THAT FALL! You can't be killed from bee stings.

The rock slide does count. Technically you can also count the numerous times he has fallen during movie 1, even though it didn't show any scarring. But again, BEE STINGS ARE NOT A SERIOUS INJURY!

I really fail to understand why you consist on putting so much emphasis on the severity of something so trivial. Why can't you just accept that nobody agrees with your opinion and trying to force it down upon us is not going to get you anywhere?
