The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I like Ruby a lot, but I'll admit they could have played with her role as the responsible one a bit more. One thing I'd have like to have seen was an episode that shows the sacrafices she makes to her free time and personal enjoyment to take care of Chomper. It can't be easy taking care of another kid all by yourself at her age, and to see how hard the job can be for her would have made for some good stories.
 I think they did touch on her sacrafices a little bit where they show how she's had to live away from her family to maintain her obligations, but I can't think of anything big other than that. For me, the angle of her being a young girl with a powerful sense of responsibility and sacrafice is the most interesting way to depict her, and that they could have explored that part of her character more.
I like her alright as-is but I think this could've been a unique angle to take  :RubyCurious

I really feel her and Chomper where underused in LBTXIV. At last the Gang of Seven was in a movie, and they aplit them up, and basically made a Gang of Five film again.

I was upset when I first watched the 14th movie. Sure, I definitely enjoyed it, being the lbt fan that I am, but I don't see why they didn't add in the rest of the gang. Chomper and Ruby just stayed with the grown ups, which was awkward to watch.

I do see some reasons on why they had left them out. Having to draw lots of characters in one scene can be a struggle at times, and I guess they considered that pretty well when they were story boarding the movie.

I was also really disappointed Chomper and Ruby were so underused in XIV. :( I'm sure my hopes were up too high (heck, I was practically hoping for an origin story on how they became friends, came to the valley, etc.) but at the same time...was it too much to ask for ONE movie featuring the Gang of Seven?

Then again, I suppose I should be grateful that Universal even remembered Ruby existed, because that in itself actually did surprise me. And it was nice that they brought her original voice back, too.

I'll have to agree on that. At least they acknowlaged that she exists. And now that you've mentioned it, Meghan Strange came back to voice her, but in my opinion she sounded more high pitched than in the tv series.

Didi anyone else notice that?
