The Neverending Story (novel)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Note this is only movie-only. In the book, G'Mork tells Atreyu that, as a [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Werewolf]], he is neither of Fantasia nor of Earth. Rather, he's one of many creatures who have no world to call home. As a result, he is able to traverse the worlds freely and assume any form he pleases. His rationale for helping the Nothing is out of his bitterness for not having a world to call home.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Bastian's gelled-up hair in the 3rd movie. According to [[The Agony Booth]]'s recap:

* [[Idiot Plot]]: In the sequel, Bastion is given the power to wish for anything and have it come true. That being said, the only reason he went on this giant quest was because he didn't have the brains to consider simply wishing away the entire conflict. Considering he didn't yet know there were consequences to making wishes, there was no reason for his behavior except plain thoughtlessness.

** The third movie is much worse. Bastian leaves the Auryn out in the open in his bedroom, where it is promptly taken by Nicole. And towards the end, when facing [[Jack Black]], Bastian actually gives into his "Fight me like a man" spiel, [[Just Eat Gilligan|even though he's got the Auryn back, and could easily wreak all kinds of vengeance upon him]].
