So I already talked about how the plot of Legend (1985) seems it could fit in a parallel with Will, Mike and Vecna in a previous post but I'm finally watching the movie and I'm finding these things interesting:

SPOILERS

So Lily is a princess with a pure heart and she's in love with her friend Jack, one day she commits a sin when she's with Jack but against his recommendations, by touching a sacred creature (the unicorn)... If the two unicorns die this brings perpetual darkness to the world and the villain needs that...

She didn't do this intentionally but basically after this happens the goblins sent by the villain kill one of the unicorns and take the horn, this transforms the earth from a beautiful summer to a frozen land full of snow where even time seems to stop (Upside Down much)

Jack thinks she's dead for a bit but then meets other creatures of the forest that reveal he must be sort of the hero and save the unicorn so he goes on a journey to take the weapons

At the same time, while Jack was taking the weapons, Lily wants to remedy her mistake so she goes to seek the other unicorn to protect her when she learns that the goblins want to kill her too, but she gets captured by the goblins and brought to the villain that looks very Vecna like in how he presents himself, there is one of the main scenes where he comes out of this giant mirror and the first thing that appears is his hand

Also the villain is fascinated by lady Lily (Will) because she is pure and he talks to some evil spirits that tell him to corrupt her before and make her one of them ( do I have to explain??? )

So he makes her see some illusions and dresses her up as an evil version of herself, Lily tries to resist him while he gives her jewelry and stuff to corrupt her

(very Vecna)

Meanwhile Jack found out she's still alive so he goes where the villain brought her with other characters that help him and he makes up a plan to use the shining things in the house and make the light of the sun come inside the place because the light kills the villain

The villain and Lily start to talk, and he offers her to spend eternity with him and says stuff like

"I was content with solitude, until that moment I felt your vivid presence."

Imagine if Will has powers and Vecna felt it and took him because of that!

He also says to her that he values her thoughts and he's trying to manipulate her and make her join him!

She pretends she's accepting him and she asks him one wish, that she'll be the one to kill the last unicorn (what if Max is the unicorn, or Holly! Or El ? )

He accepts... But remember she's tricking him 🤭 he even says this shit to her about ''creating a new world'' like Vecna wants to make a new world

at this point, Jack is watching her almost kill he unicorn and other characters think she really joined Vecna so they want him to kill Lily

but you know, true love and all that....

Lily frees the unicorn and makes her run away! The villain, that's called Darkness, hits her and Jack goes to attack him... they fight while the other characters try to make the light go inside to kill the Darkness... Jack takes the unicorn horn and stabs him with it while the light comes inside and almost finishes him, Darkness is holding onto the walls before a void of space and Jack cuts his hand making him fall in the void!!!!

At the end of the film Lily is under a sleeping spell and Jack has learned confidence in himself and has to find a way to wake her up now (Mike's confidence journey eheh)

he has to keep a promise he made to her to save her so he goes to do that, he has to retrieve a ring in a lake.... he does that, brings it to her and then the true love kiss wakes her up! They kiss!! Super cute!! Happy ending and obv the unicorn comes back to life and all is good!

some final moments:

I love you, Lily. Come back to me. Come back to me.

I… love you, Jack.

I love you, Lily.

I had such a terrible nightmare.

Did you? It's over.

Jack, was it all a dream?

You're safe now.

So many terrible things happened. I… I learned something about myself… and something about you.

What's that?

You belong here. You're my prince.

I'm only Jack.

My Lord Jack.

My son was right, this was a good movie!!!

TAGBACK !!! HAI ELVIS :33 since you asked me about Pokémon recently, I wanted to ask you something back as a nicey exchange !!! What Pokémon would the judges of hell have in their team ? I'm especially curious to hear about Delilah's because she seems like an elite 5 girl <3

HAIII MAELL!! NICEY EXCHANGE :3

You're so right tho I feel like they'd all be elite gym members but I. Don't know enough about Pokémons actual story to say for sure enough. But I'm sure Hart is barely just in it anymore just for the sake of having SOMEONE on the role cough just like it's actual job cough. And basically like. Hands out badges on a whim. But anywaysies Judgement time!!

DELILAH - Favors generally loyal and intelligent Pokémon but keeps her team small and close. Likely has given some of her Pokémon to Deirdre and her nieces/nephews<3 (And. Lassi)

•Persian (alolan) - inherited from her foregone mentor Stevious. It's a mean old bitch who acts like an evil advisor to her, and though it's a nasty fighter, prefers not to participate that often. Named Tourmaline, and it was spoiled rotten by Stevious back in the day, acting brattish towards Delilah initially but warming up to her surprisingly quick (at least what's considered quick for a creature like this). It's quite possessive protective of Delilah these days and does not receive most people kindly. Lassi can pet dear old Tourmaline only with treats. He'll get there.. At least it doesn't hiss at him anymore.

•Raticate - Now you might not have expected something like this from Delilah, but she and Deirdre caught it back when they were youngins living on the streets of the neutral district. It's an old and stubborn thing and a ferocious fighter, though getting slow with age. It's known these two since being a rattata and would literally die and kill for both. You'd think it doesn't get along with Tourmaline but those two have earned each other's mutual respect. Delilah keeps them both in her office. This old bastard is named Raggy, and is family bonded to Deirdres personal Rattata, Shaggy. Both Raggy and Shaggy are nicer to Lassi, but ol Rag tends to chew his pens..

•Scolipede and Centiskorch - mentioning simultaneously bc they belong to Delilah's "battle team", and usually spend time only to fight or do other important tasks. They've been trained well, but aren't on the same emotional level as Tourmaline and Raggy, where she'd keep them close by at all times. During earlier times, one or both accompanied Lassi around the Pride district to keep him safe, but Delilah has now dispensed them to watch over two of Deirdres kids, Meredith and Mihail. They take their job extremely seriously and do it well.

•Gothitelle - was given to her by Hart when it was a Gothorita, as a sort of Welcome to your new job as the Pride Judge kinda thing. It's diligent and switches between accompanying Delilah and paroling the Pride district. It's independent, smart and efficient, and keeps track of things for her. That's certainly enough enrichment for it, however due to being just a powerhouse, it also participates in the Battle Team. At least when shit gets serious.

XERXES - This man is ALL about that grind he probably trains his Pokémon hardcore (but also cherishes them super hard they're his biggest warriors). He's the one out of the three still actually invested in battling as a concept and not just means to an end.

•Sunflora - Yes, really. First Pokémon he ever caught, possibly by accident. It's his childhood friend and he loves sunflowers so it's important to him but he probably was bullied alot for having a "stupid little flower Pokémon" so he used to be really hesitant to let it battle. It eventually became really skilled though but got badly wounded when Xerxes was training for his current position (likely in a battle against his mentor's Pokémon - she was ruthless), and so it's retired. He waters it lovingly and keeps it safe in his home. Man's best friend still.

•Bastiodon - big, tough, and is literally compared to being an immovable object one time. Absolutely. Hardass. It's lazy and cozy off hours but very eager to get up and fight, and Xerxes himself has to try restraining it every so often so it doesn't level yet another wall. Means well but is too easy to rile up and plays too rough. Likes scratchies

•Rampardos - (gestures to the previous section) Yes. Again fits the vibe to a T. It's playful and also eager to fight, as well as very intelligent and well trained. However off hours it likes fiending up Bastiodon to try and make it rampage all over, for shits and giggles. This is the catalyst for all the troubles bc these two Pokémon usually fight in a duo. They're besties. And also like bothering each other. Likes scratchies too.

•Emboar - probably the friendliest next to Bastiodon but unlike that one it's actually among the least rowdy. It's one of the newest additions and was taken in as a Pignite and is very fond of Xerxes<3 it tries to act as the mediator and quote on quote second in command to the rest of the team but the success of that is debatable.

•Pheromosa - Was traded with Ngah, either as a challenge or some weird nemesis bond thing. As opposed to Xerxes, Ngah views her Pokémon more as assets than an equal team, so she wasn't too torn up about it emotionally. This one regularly refuses to interact with the rest of the team except minimally, and though it obeys Xerxes and fights superbly (Ngahs training), the bond is professional. It doesn't exactly miss Ngah, but has trouble adjusting to the atmosphere. Xerxes treats it kindly and allows it time to itself outside the pokeball (again, contrary to Ngah)

HART - Probably has a million Pokémon adopted and hoarded saved from everywhere but I'll focus on the ones that are considered "The Main Team".

They're all dittos.

Now, there is strategy to this. What everyone else thinks Hart's team is, goes:

Claydol, Cofagrigus, Sigilyph, Banette and Tentacruel. But in truth, each ditto plays one of these during all battles and official occasions where they'd need show face. However the secret might spill sometimes, seeing as how when Hart battles other high judgements (angel or demon), it makes it's dittos copy whichever Pokémon the opponent has. Hart loves to be annoying and weird, it's the only motivation to still stay on the job.

According to Hart's coworkers, such as Delilah, some if not all of these shapeshifting choices are influenced by past and foregone team members. Of course, when you've been around for as long as Hart has, you're bound to loose some Pokémon one way or another.. It's apparently a way to honor their memory. But, who knows..
