Hapori Tohu Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 LEGO has uploaded two new LEGO Elves character videos on their videos site. We get one for Farran, the earth elf, and Emily Jones, the girl who fell through the portal to Elvendale and who seems to be the main protagonist of the series. Of course this is just speculation, but I imagine that if the theme does well enough in its first year, we could see it expand into maybe even a TV series in the second year like Ninjago did. Either way, if you are a fan of LEGO story themes, 2015 seems a pretty great year with Ninjago, BIONICLE and Elves all running at the same time!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The world has officially ended. this is the most low-key boring apocalypse I've ever seen. Don't know what you're looking at. It's the most gorgeous apocalypse I've ever seen. "Brakes out into dance while singing R.E.M's 'It's the End of the World as we know it'." Anyways, the animation for these videos continues to look really neat. Emily's video was good, but Farran's video only played the audio for me. I blame my Internet for this. I'll check his video out later when it gets posted on Youtube. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

It's the most gorgeous apocalypse I've ever seen. I was referring to how ridiculously boring the world ending because there's an adventure theme aimed at girls is compared to, say, worldwide plague or asteroid impact. It was not a slight against Elves (which I'm still cautiously optimistic about) but against the ridiculous post I was quoting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm still waiting and withholding judgment. March isn't here yet. Aspects of Emily's character video have increased my optimism, but I'm keeping myself from assuming greatness just yet. (Also...Earth = Jungle? Wat.)

believe victims Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (Also...Earth = Jungle? Wat.) The idea of elemental Earth including plant life powers isn't new. I'm not sure of many other places that have it, but Golden Sun has a series of Venus (their Earth element) attacks based on plant life. (They also included lightning powers in Jupiter (Air), another thing which I'm uncertain if it's common or their idea.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaru Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am extremely excited for the Elves line. Absolutely optimistic. And even then just watching these videos is just.... The animation is so unsettlingly jerky. I thought the fire elf video was just poorly cut, but it seems like that's the way the animation is in this cartoon? I can't put my finger on it, but it's very visually unappealing. I'm also not terribly impressed with the character snippets either. Again, maybe it's just a poor choice of clips cut together but I'm not getting any sense of traits from these characters. I absolutely hope that's just because I'm too old and out of the target demo.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I'm also not terribly impressed with the character snippets either. Again, maybe it's just a poor choice of clips cut together but I'm not getting any sense of traits from these characters. I absolutely hope that's just because I'm too old and out of the target demo. I would guess that's because the snippets are barely 17 seconds long, and at this point they're still just teasing the line as a new, upcoming adventure based theme. I think as March gets closer, and full length episodes come online, we'll be seeing more characterization from them. And, for what it's worth, I don't think the videos are too devoid of character traits. Farran seems to be a touch on the arrogant side, Azari seems to be more adventurous than the others, Naida seems more reserved, and Aira seems hyper. Obviously I'm hoping there's more to the characters than that, but I think it's a good start. As for the animation, I have to agree. I have no idea why they decided to make it look choppy. It's not appealing at all. Also, the videos for Naida and Aira have been uploded to the YouTube channel just this morning. Farran and Emily Jones were just sent there as well for those who had trouble viewing them on the main site. (Sorry I still have no idea how to embed YouTube videos directly.)
