LOL, nobody watching the movie will be much interested how the life pot works, but if it heals instantly, it gives the impression of Popye stuffing his face with spinch, and we're fighting Ballos here, not Bluto.



Taking a guess, I think he means
(a) Waterway Cabin
(b) OMFG she lost her memory!!!!555fivefive
(c) The "ooh" part in Hell when she's unconsious

Or maybe he meant the waterway cabin as well.
"c" was actually the labyrinth one. Four then. :p

I hope so too. If Quote's already been back through the teleporter from the Plantation to Arthur's House, then perhaps he could just cut from learning about the mushroom, straight into the Graveyard. Then fend off or avoid the Gravekeeper, find the storage room...

What about the Littles and the Nemesis? Is he going to include the Nemesis? I would imagine the Nemesis to be extremely tiny for its power, so it's not like it would burden him or anything.

I liked how Curly gave him the Snake, by the way. A little odd, but definitely not bad.

It doesn't need to take that much time – it's a mushroom, for goodness's sake. A couple of shots should kill it.
Its more the fact that you are shooting then eating a sentient creature, that will repulse people if they saw that in a movie.

The littles may be in it, but Mr.Little will be at his house when Quote arrives and not back at the Graveyard, backtracking wastes time. The problem is that Quote is not likely to part with it, it being a dying gift and all, and also the fact that..
Spirit King (lvl.3 Blade) plays a part in the fight against the doctor.
So the blade cannot be traded.

Though on this note Quote could just meet up with the littles in the first movie and get the nemesis during the second movie.

If I do put the life pot in, I have to make it taste disgusting.

Quote: "Curly, are you okay?"
Curly: "Oohh..."
Quote: "Here, drink this."
...!
Curly: "Gaah! Are you trying to kill me? What is that, rancid oatmeal?"
Quote: "Fine, next time I won't save your life..."

Yeah, but te fight will take time.

still wouldn't the fight be boring? a bouncing mushroom getting beaten the fuck out of it by quote with a random gun? i think it could be like some funny scene where quote trys to catch the ma pignon while hes triping and stuff?

If that's an issue I suppose you could just make it an ordinary mushroom, which Quote finds somewhere – maybe make the gravekeeper a guard for the mushroom.

Or Mr Little could offer the nemesis in return for something trivial, or just as a gift.

Well, this isn't necessary, but it's a fairly logical thing to do.

Changes like that are things fans complain about in movie adaptions, I think. It'd be better to either keep it accurate, or leave it out. xristosx's idea might work, but, to save time, it could even be like Ma Pignon tries to fight him, but then he just grabs it and heads off (since it is a mushroom, after all).

I didn't say I liked that idea – I would also prefer it to be kept accurate.

Your idea is pretty reasonable too.

But we need to know what that trivial thing would be.

Then have curly bite its head off, and the audience leaves. It is better to just leave it out.

Sorry but I am visualising how that would look in a movie and it is quite disturbing.

No, she would eat it whole, which has a significantly diminished effect. And a whole lot worse things than someone getting eaten happen in movies, and audiences don't walk out. This is ignoring the fact that this movie isn't likely to be played in any movie theaters. And that it would be animated, which again diminishes the effect. Plus, Ma Pignon wouldn't even be struggling or anything during this scene.

I don't know what people where you live would think, but I bet most American and Japanese viewers wouldn't think twice about it. XP

You're absolutely right. Eating edible mushrooms =/= porn.

But you are forgetting the backtracking involved. Backtracking+Movie=No

Not that hard to do a scene transition that simply skips everything between leaving the Plantation and re-arriving at the Mimiga Village on the way to the Graveyard. Or to relocate Ma Pignon.

In fact, this could help make things flow a bit better. In the game, Quote gets captured and thrown in the cell when he tries to use the teleporter to head back to Arthur's House, right? Well, in the movie, he doesn't get captured right away, but he gets noticed. He heads back, gets Ma Pignon, then returns to the Plantation to get it to Curly - at which point, he's ambushed and thrown in the cell, progressing the plot.

But jumping from one place to another without room for character development makes a pretty crappy movie. You can't exactly put every boss into the movie.

to see it getting eaten. :confused:

it doesnt need to be in it, but..... curly remembering everything is a key part of the story, and the ma pignon is a key element coming up to that part, so i think it should be in the movie, but we need to find a better way of doing it :confused:
