Now it's just a matter of finding lunar magic.

I think either Midas Magic, or something else might have what you're looking for. (It's been a long while since I've looked into magic mods.)

[Luna Pixu]

@S121
Yeah... I'll definitely have to check it out in due time.

[WriggleRid3r]

Have you guys watched Bolt yet?

[Luna Pixu]

@Wriggle
Bolt? As in that Disney movie about a dog who thought he was a superhero? Yeah, I have.

[WriggleRid3r]

@TRXD
It's such a good movie I cried ;_;

[Luna Pixu]

@Wriggle
I can't remember much of it. From what I remember, I just thought of it as a... meh... movie. It was a typical Disney film with typical Disney morals and clichés. The moral of the story: Don't get too engrossed in your acting. But at the same time, do. It saves lives apparently.

There are so many Disney and/or Pixar movies with some mixed up morals.
Incredibles: Don't be a dick to children. They'll f*ck you over.
Monster Inc.: Everyone is evil except you, your best friend, and a random toddler.
Toy Story: You're a toy. DEAL WITH IT!
Toy Story 2: You're a toy. DEAL WITH IT SO MORE! Also, prospectors are dicks.
Beauty and the Beast: Stockholm Syndrome is ok!

There's a lot of them.

@ TR

Monsters inc: Which is more powerful? To be feared, or to be loved?
Toy Story 3: (because I can't remember the first two) Sometimes you have to let go of the past.
El Dorado: Being honest and yourself as well as being true to your friends yields the greater reward/adventure.
Atlantis: Never give up your dreams
Bolt: Reality is a b*tch. You might not have superpowers but you can still be a hero.

@Cucoo
I know those are the true morals. I'm making a joke by taking them for what the story shows instead of what it is actually trying to teach. That is the actual extent of the Disney story cliché. Personally, I like my harsh and perverse take on the stories than what it's supposed to be.
Also, El Dorado is a Warner Bros. movie. Not a Disney movie.

[Cucoo5]

@ TR

It wasn't a Disney?
huh...I always thought it was =w=
Probably because I saw DreamWorks and for some reason tied that to Disney...

and ya, the literal translations do kind of seem strange in comparison.

[S121]

@TRXD and Cucoo

OH WOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! XD

I was reading your posts while eating some chips and read your posts about that movie El Dorado. I remembered watching that as a kid, and remembered the song, but because I had chips on my mind as well, I thought of the main song like this.

EDIT:

To be honest, I was eating Lays, but noticed that Dorado sounds kind of like Doritos.

Spoiler:

(Sing along with the modified lyrics, kids. )

Our glorious city
Was build by the divinities by Gods
Who saw fit to bestow
The gift of a pardise
Peaceful and harmonious upon
Us mere mortals below
And made El Doritos
The magnificent and golden
One thousand years ago
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos
But all this was granted
For only one millenium
I know my legacy is to fulfill
My promise to all my people
Who have trusted me, the Gods
Will approve of us still
Preserve El Doritos
The magnificent and golden
And I believe they will
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos
The mountains so high and waters deep
Are her disguise
Her secrets are safe from foreign hands
And eyes forever
Preserve El Doritos
The magnificent and golden
And I believe they will
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos
El Doritos, El Doritos, El Doritos

[Luna Pixu]

@S121
Man... If I wasn't so damn tired, I'd be eating some doritos right now. I have a massive addiction when it comes to doritos.
But all that aside, I kind of liked El Dorado. Well, for every part except for the Mad Priest scenes and the Jaguar construct. They seemed very out of place. Only there to bring action to the movie for the sake of bringing action to the movie. Not a wise move... Not a wise move at all.

[Cucoo5]

@ S1

It took me way too long to realize what was different about the lyrics.

I swear I'm getting stupider ...


Oh and I finally made a connection I can't believe I missed before.

*initial discovery*
"...so there's this swordswoman in Fire Emblem named Marisa. Huh..."
[a few months later]
"WHAT THE?!? THERE'S A FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER ALSO NAMED MARISA?!?"





HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS BEFORE?

[Luna Pixu]

@Cucoo
What's this Marisa's personality like? If she's like Kirisame, I now have a reason to hate all the Marisa in existence.

[Cucoo5]

@TR

Nope, nothing like Kirisame
More like a Youmu...except the "went through brutal training" type and "Mercenary" Stereotypes

Marisa (マリカ, called Marica in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. She is a member of Gerik's Mercenaries. She is an aloof and detached beauty, and a master of the blade, earning fame as the "Crimson Flash" because of her great speed. She seeks to surpass her father, who was also a great swordmaster. She is unusually clumsy at everything outside of fighting, as revealed to the player in a Support conversation with Gerik. It is also shown that she secretly has a crush on Gerik, as her supports with her friendly rival Tethys reveal.

Regardless of the route, she is accidently deployed under the hire of Grado, while Gerik and the other Mercenaries were hired by Innes. In Eirika's route, she switches sides after speaking to Gerik, not worried about what this would do to her reputation. In Ephraim's route, she switches sides after learning about the mix up from Ewan.

In her ending, she became the leader of a mercenary force of her own, defeating all who would challenge her to a duel. If she reaches an A support with Gerik, she stays with him and becomes the group's fencing instructor, while if she reaches A support with Joshua, she swears loyalty to him and becomes Jehanna's top swordfighter.
