Ahhh, I see what you're saying Max. Tom just stated it a little more clear, thanks Tom.

Anyways, good idea, Max. I think that would be very cool.

TomFrogMan, are you suggesting something similar to the montages when Abe goes to Paramonia and Scrabania in AO and sees what they had been like before Rupturefarms? Because I think Max was suggesting something a little more subtle; like a scene where Abe is walking through a forest and sees all the creatures and then sees an area that has been devastated by the industrialists (or the same place, later).

I'm suggesting something similar, but more in depth. An extended variety of different shots of many Oddworldian creatures and environments, as opposed to simply showing Paramites and Scrabs prancing about for a few seconds, then perhaps fading into showing these same places and little by little showing how the Industrials corrupted and exploited their land.

Oh, just a side note; a lot of people are refering to me as 'TomFrogMan'. Frogman is my middle name and just one word. ^^

Sorry about the FrogMan thing. I actually thought to check the capitalisation but I figured I was safe to assume the M would be. That's taught me a lesson!

Anyway, I think a more subtly approach is needed in a feature film. You can't just shove a message down people's throats.

Wow, my unrefined idea has sparked some kind of creativity. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking so subtly. I don't think the point of flashbacks is to be particularly subtle but to rather explicitly highlight whatever difference there may be. In my jungle-trekking experience, you don't see animals of any kind, so cutting away from Abe's plot would be more realistic to me. A montage is the best way of putting it.

While I'm all for more subtly, and for audiences to deduce things by themselves, I think the point of showing the richness of Oddworld's wildlife would be to shove a message down Abe's throat.

yeah wow thats sounds great that really is a good idea it would work perfectly!
