She wasn't even the least bit upset that her long -legged creature friends (forgot their name now ) died a horrible death helping her fight the Garthim. She went on like nothing happened.
I remember how this deepy disturbed me as a kid!
She controlled the animals of the forest even the trees seeming to do her bidding.
Weeelll, she and Jen did have more important issues (*cough*crystalshard*coughcough*) to worry about; she might have been simply bottling it down until their objective had been completed.
Oh, and those critters are called Landstriders.
Hope that helped!
In layman's terms: speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.share
No, no I agree with you completely. I know they had more important issues *cough*crystalshard and also repopulationof gelflings*cough*, but I guess as a kid I was very disturbed by Kira extolling the virtues of her friends the Landstriders (thanks for the reminder of the name) and then watching as they screamed and died a horrible death, with NO reaction from her.
She controlled the animals of the forest even the trees seeming to do her bidding.
Well, she was a tad bit busy trying to save her Podling family and clan at the time, I'm sure you wouldn't have rather she left them in their cage to try and avenge the Landstriders.
Wonder Twin Powers, ACTIVATE! Form of...a Frost Giant!
She did gasp in dismay though. And as good as Jim Henson and Frank Oz were/are, there is only so much emotion a Muppet can display.
Wonder Twin Powers, ACTIVATE! Shape of...a Lombax!
I was kind of wondering about her reaction too. But I can understand I suppose.
But don't worry, the Landstriders will be back, they landed on there...long...spindly legs...things that they walk with..and probably ran away after the fight, but they'll be back...(Does that make it better? ;) )
"Make your world in its light."
They arent human so its really not fair to judge them for their 'inhuman' reactions.
Besides, unlike Jen the wus, Kira knows you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
J'ever notice that Kira was the "ballsy" one? She always took charge. She was a very strong female heroine. When a crystal bat was flying overhead, what did she do? She whips out a sling without a second thought and knocks it out of the sky. She leads Jen away from the Pod Village attack. She heals his wound. She keeps him from being mesmerized by the Chamberlain. She leads him to the landstriders. When they see the garthim arriving at the castle, it was SHE who made the first move to attack them! That's gutsy, a full frontal attack on a group of garthim with a single landstrider. Jen only followed her because he didn't want her to attack alone. He felt obligated to follow her lead.
She uses her wings resourcefully; she survives being tortured, and finally gives her own life to heal the crystal. Kira is badass.
"Wings?...I don't have wings!?"share
"Of course not. You're a boy."
I think she was crying on the inside...
shareYou must have missed the part when the Garthim ganged up on the 2nd landstrider, and she cried out, "Nooooo!"
Listen to it again.

omg worst part EVER in a Henson movie. That poor couple Landstider:( AND get this, remember when Kira first calls the Landstiders and you see them for the first time? Well if you look closely there was a baby, but they only took the two adults. SOOOO when the first one falls off the cliff and the other gets torn apart I would CRYYYY to my mother asking her WHO'S GONNA TAKE CARE OF THE BABY ONE???? LMAO! Her response was, "Hunny, Kira and Jen will take care of it, don't worry." HA! Yea, I was a pretty dramatic kid...I blame Jim Henson movies..the movies of my youth! Rock on.
shareSometimes I watch the movie with my 7-year old daughter, and that part always upsets her.
