Ripheus23 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 ... where there's a scene with an army of living books? I know there have been book-monsters in, say, the Final Fantasy series, or the Ildatch in the Shannara books, or that Care Bears movie with the evil book... And other examples... But a whole army? Like thousands of them? I have an explanation, sort of, for how this would happen (a magic-logic explanation, that is), but if the image itself seems absurd then at best it would only be good for an absurdist story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borio Singaldi Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Too many. Far too many. It's in Super Mario 64 for N64 as well. I would know. The horror... To be honest, like, just a few. Not a full army or anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kureshi Ironclaw Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'm picturing thousands of books flying around like a swarm of bats. That makes it a bit more menacing in my mind. I think if you use the right words to describe the army of books it won't seem as absurd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelly Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I can see it working, but only if they're flying books or acting almost like a fluid, an overwhelming wave of books working together. If they're....um...flopping towards me on the ground like fish, it's far less intimidating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
