I loving loved the Redwall books when I was in middle school and would still love to see movie adaptations of all of them...... completely R-rated, maybe even NC-17, filled beyond the brim with the filthiest, most depraved curseword-filled [Adult Swim] humor, insane mentally-derelict Mad Max-level characters and dialog that would make actual Mad Max characters look like Mr. Rogers, and non-stop, gratuitous, over-the-top, ultra-detailed, Metalocalypse-style ultra-violence, almost all of which is played for laughs and made to desensitize the poo poo out of the audience. Also they must all have super metal soundtracks assembled by the combined minds and talents of only the :black101:-est musicians and composers we have, including but not limited to: the guys from Mastodon, :megadeath:, maybe Paul Stanley for a little complexity, and Brendan Small bringing his Dethklok A-game.

Actually this brings up an interesting point.

Do horses ever appear anywhere else in any of the Redwall books, outside of that one scene at the start of the first book where Cluny and his horde are riding on/with them and one of his mooks falls off and gets trampled by them? And if not, why not? I read a bunch of the books in the series — I think I finished at least 5 or 6 of them and got a few chapters into several more — but I don’t remember horses being mentioned a single time beyond that one instance.

Either a super cool mouse, or a rabbit/hare without that rabbit/hare accent they always have. Either way his fur would be colored like his real-life hair, he’d talk the same way he does on TV, and all the other animals would think he’s kind of a weirdo for both those reasons.

Barudak posted:

Nah, badgers in Redwall are big huge fuckers. They’re always super tall, super heavy, super muscley, and super strong; in people terms they’d be like 1.5 to 2 times bigger and beefier than the biggest defensive football player you can think of. Which would basically make them lab-grown supermen.

Guy Fieri is big, but he is not big in any of those ways.

Also IIRC most, if not all, Redwall badgers are trained heavily in combat from early ages and are thus insanely good fighters and martial artists, both unarmed and with all manner of weapons (with the possible exceptions of certain long-range projectile weapons like bows and arrows). Which uhh... I mean, I’ve never personally seen Guy Fieri try to fight, but... eehhhhhh...

I read a bunch of the books in the series — I think I finished at least 5 or 6 of them and got a few chapters into several more — but I don’t remember horses being mentioned a single time beyond that one instance.

And this brings up three additional questions:

1. Can horses talk in the Redwall universe, like all of the other animals can? Like could those Cluny horses have talked if they wanted to, but they just didn’t for some reason?

2. Do equines of any sorts or species exist in the Redwall universe, besides those aforementioned Cluny ones, even if they’re existences are never acknowledged in any of the books? AND...

3. ... if, in fact, no other equid species except Cluny’s horses exist in Redwall World, what other insult(s) would Gordon Ramsay hurl at incompetant Redwall cooks instead of :ramsay:, since donkeys now aren’t a thing?

Yo ho?

The horse cart in the first book implied the existence of human beings and then the author was very careful to never do that again. I think it's best left forgotten.

Anything prominently featuring badgers was probably my favorite when I was a kid. Otters and moles were also great.

I think it's nice that he started writing because he wanted to make something for the children at the school for the blind he volunteered at, which is why all of his books have the ridiculously detailed descriptions of feasts and stuff.

On the other hand, I never caught on to the racism until it was made super explicit in the one book where like a baby ferret is raised in the abbey. I think he grows up and turns out to be a shitbag not because he was ostracized or anything, but despite growing up with a caring adopted family he just can't help it because he's one of the "bad" species. Dude doesn't even get a redemption arc or anything; despite sacrificing himself in the end for his adopted mother the takeaway was "he probably didn't even mean to save me, he was just evil this whole time." God drat, son.

The Long Patrol rocks. After that I generally liked all of the stuff that was chronologically from before and right when the abbey was built, lots of boats and pirates and stuff which was my jam at the time.
