Talk:Sharptooth (The Land Before Time)

message: From the prologue to the first film: "Sharpteeth stalked the herds, waiting to seize any who strayed."  I'm not confident of the exact wording, but I know for sure that "Sharpteeth" was used as a term for predators in general.  Well, I suppose it could have specifically meant Tyrannosaurs, but the point is that it didn't exclusively refer to Sharptooth the character as the article implies.  --Andrusi 17:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sharptooth as generic term in first movie 

message: Should Redclaw, the villain Sharptooth from the animated series, be featured in this article? Or does he warrant his own article?

message: Although they are often perceived as mindless killers, being called "cowards" and "not very bright" by Littlefoot's father and grandfather respectively, despite the fact that by dinosaur standards in real life, Theropods were the smartest of the dinosaurs.
Although they are often perceived as mindless killers, being called "cowards" and "not very bright" by Littlefoot's father and grandfather respectively, although this is quite to the contrary of scientific dinosaur information.
...Okay, do people even READ the article before they make edits to them!? It goes on to say immediately after that statement that the Sharpteeth are smarter than they're given credit by herbivores. 
Although they are often perceived as mindless killers, being called "cowards" and "not very bright" by Littlefoot's father and grandfather respectively, The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure revealed that Sharpteeth are indeed sentient like the rest of the dinosaurs and that they even form loving families. Furthermore, in The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island, Sharpteeth are shown to be just as intelligent as other dinosaurs but simply speak a different language consisting of roaring and growling.
The aforementioned edits don't even make sense grammatically and just screw up the rest of the paragraph! *Headdesks* 
They are often violently killed in very unrealistic ways. Because Littlefoot and his friends have no chance against the Sharpteeth, fate often kills them or an adult interveins. For this reason, sharpteeth almost always fall over cliffs that did not exist previously in the movie, as the story must continue without Littlefoot and his friends being killed.
Seems pretty darn contradictory to me, Littlefoot and his friends soundly defeated the single most formidable Sharptooth depicted in the series thus far.

message: Sharptooth was depicted as a rather unsuccessful hunter: rarely employing the element of surprise and never successful in devouring any of his victioms. However, what he lacked in predatory prowess, he made up for...
M'kay, this statement keeps being put back even though it's complete bullshit. 
1. Sharptooth makes very liberal use of stealth- in fact, he used it in two out of the three attacks he launched in the film. He snuck up on Littlefoot et all while they were sleeping, and again manages to sneak up on Ducky in the cave... despite Ducky being the one to sneak up on HIM initially. 
2. Predatory incompetance is a common feature to *all* Sharpteeth in TLBT series; name me one time ANY Sharptooth in the series managed to successfully kill something. Why bother to point out Sharptooth's poor track record when this is common to Sharpteeth in general? As it stands, Sharptooth has better luck than his successors, having been able to make at least *one* kill that we've seen onscreen, and it's a major character no less!
Littlefoot and his friends' ability to escape harm would be better attributed to character shielding rather than Sharptooth's so-called incompetance.

thread_title:  Sharptooth's "Predatory Prowess" 

message: Unfortunatley, the sharptooth in the first movie wasn't given a name. This is very much a "hellraiser" problem, where the character is important, but unnamed and is called by a name that is fan made. I propose, to avoid future confusion, we refere to the sharptooth who killed Littlefoot's mother as the Original Sharptooth. I do not wish for this to be a new fan name to be used all the time, but I think that this Sharptooth should be called something, as it is surely, next to Chomper that is, the most notable sharptooth in the Land before Time Series.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bowser Jr. Nutt (talk • contribs) 22:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
