Brütal Legend/WMG: Difference between revisions

** "It's not a lake, it's an ocean," as a phrase would actually make more sense, too. Since the Sea of Black Tears is really more of a lake than a sea. Suddenly, this is what Alan was trying to tell us.

Both take place in a magical, fairly medieval setting. Both can transport mortals from our time into their time fairly easily. Of course, the most obvious parallel is that both feature thinly veiled versions of our world's rock stars. The movie takes place before the events of Brutal Legend, featuring David Bowie's counterpart, " Jareth the Goblin King". Seriously, if you take a close gander at the world outside of the Labyrinth (at the beginning of the film) it does look remarkably similar to Brutal Legend's landscape. Possibly, the events of Brutal Legend take place thousands of years after the events of Labyrinth, (being only twenty years in our time). Jareth, being not only a ruler of goblins, but also a titan, could have become a god with the rest of his titan kin, leaving behind artifacts and wisdom for the mortals to find.

** Would that make the goblins precursors to Fletus?

The monster fighting skills he showed only came ''after'' he traveled to the Age of Metal. Something from the Age of Metal was sent after the band; so Eddie was waiting for them. After stopping it; he didn't need to make anyone any more sandwiches.

Sit tight, kids. This is about to get Freudian. WARNING: Unmasked spoilers to follow!!! Proceed with care.

Techno: Robot warriors that were once servants of the Titans, but rebelled and were banished by their creators. They then went offline until the sheer power of Eddie's Metal awakened them by reminding them of their creators. With revenge in mind, they storm Bladehenge, cue epic war with Ironheade.

* Faction Name: Legion of Lights

* Car: Hover Car, A small car that resembles but is legally destintic from a [[Star Wars]] Landspeeder.

* Avatar: The [[Genki Girl|overly cheerful]] and [[Yandere|phenomenally violent]] Hikari Sugiyama. Wields a glittery guitar and matching katana and is capable of motivating her troops with threats of a rarely followed up "death penalty." Needless to say, she has never had problems with morale.

* Avatar: Amadeus Von Bludhaven, the first one. His orchestrations lead to the creation of all other life. Wields a sharpened conductor's baton for solos (called movements which cause phantoms of an orcestra to apear and play) and in meele combat. Some meele combos incorporate his clockwork implants as extending limbs.

** 12th Cannon (misspelling is deliberate!): Ultimate last-ditch defense solo. The stage unfolds a series of Tuba cannons, which fire off volleys that do more damage the closer the enemy is to the stage.

* Units

** Bassists: sharply dressed and playing cellos. Can double team to produce a shockwave effect.

** Conductor: A fragile clockwork walker with a conductor riding astride it. Provides low attack and speed bonuses. Double teaming sharply increases these buffs, and Amedus can up the tempo to increase them even more for a short time.
