Kinos with dragons? Reign of Fire can't be the only one

Eragon is so fucking gay.
Anyone likes it you know right away he's a faggot redditor

Why would they kill an avatar of good luck?

Stupid westerners and your clueless propaganda

shut up inscrutable motherfucker, you just use Calgon

eels were considered relatives of dragons and they ate those all the fucking time, you uneducated worm

Is there any kino with this style of dragon?

How to train your dragon is pretty fun, I have no idea about any after the first one though.

Dragonheart has horrible CGI but Sean Connery as the dragon and the dragon hunter/dragon escapades help keep the first half of the movie entertaining.

Dragons Wars is fun

how did dragons exist in ancient china and medieval europe? it's almost like they really existed...

I watched this cuz I heard it was racist but it was just a boring tower defense game letsplay. Lots of dragon creatures tho.

What is the explanation for multiple cultures without contact with each other all coming up with dragons or dragon-like creatures all around the same time?
I mean, is it really that unbelievable that some dragon-like animal really existed?

This looks kind of creepy. It just dawned on me that games are only getting better graphics and eventually every game will blur the lines of reality and start to really confuse our perception of reality. Glad I grew up on N64.

Dinosaur fossils. Ancient peoples found them and imagined which animal they belong to.
In the Gobi desert they were relatively easy to find.

90% of modern fantasy rips off Tolkien anyway, might as well cut to the chase

Japanese dragons are oarfish.
I'm still not really positive what would lead to European dragons

Dinosaur bones existed in ancient times too user. All around the globe

and some dino bones could still be lying about on high altitude, rocky terrain. which could be why people thought they lived in the mountains.

Crocodiles grow their whole lives until they're too large to catch their regular food. Humans are slow in the water but like swimming so the giant crocs focus on eating people. It's likely they would force nomads to escape hunting areas, and they would tell later generations to avoid them. The crocs could live for generations so the stories would have to last a long time, mixing with other traditions and myths until the crocodiles become evil monsters.
The largest croc ever measured was 20ft long before he died of stress.

Dragonslayer

This makes much more sense to me than dinosaur bones because it would be much more consistent in creating a myth

If It bleeds, we can kill it

then eat

these fuckers really will eat anything

The video even mentions a crocodile that natives believed was a reincarnated warrior taking vengeance on his enemies' descendants. It only took a couple decades to become something spiritual. Imagine if you never saw the creature die, then every fifty years something similar to the stories you heard shows up and eats someone. The stories go with the tribes to Europe and China, mixing with other beliefs on the way.

>China
Asian dragons are completely different which is why I think it's oarfish.
You're out in your little skiff looking for fish to eat when suddenly a 50 foot long silver serpent swims under your boat.
Probably why eastern dragons are generally less beastly and more good fortune

Asian dragons have always been depicted as being able to fly and mostly benevolent though.

Motherfucking Dragonslayer.

Accept no substitutes. It is the quintessential dragon kino. It was made in 1983, a time before Disney completely castrated themselves into inoffensive family fare. Watch it first, and only then allow yourself to answer the questions it will make you ask yourself - “How the hell does it look so real with 80s tech?” Marvel at the answer, and weep for the world that might have been, that could still be.

IMagen all the drugs they took in those days to cope with peasant life, that is the only reasnoble explanation.

Dragonheart

Also it's a PG Disney movie with a man's testicles on screen

A lot of fucking opium lead to some dubious decisions in Chinese history

you are though, degenerate

Your take:

Did magic live on in Galen?

NO

I'm pretty sure calling chinese dragons "dragons" is a mistake on our part. The creature on the flag of the Qing Dynasty looked really similar to the creature on the Wales flag. They could still be the same creature distorted by myths and time, but we might've just confused two pictures as the same thing. Pic related is The Qing flag and the Wales flag.

What makes you think not? I think he understood the nature of it by the end. He was only an apprentice when we met him.

Thought those were union soldiers killing a dragon from the thumbnail.

Would love to see something like that now.

no you wouldn't

Any kinos where we can see both western and eastern style dragons?

wee ah japaneez doragon

This is really stupid. How to you go from river lizard to flying fire breathing lizard that lives in the mountains and steal princesses

I doubt this is kino, but there was a movie advertised in american theater a year or o back that looked like it had a chinese cast and it looked like a historical movie, up till the last few seconds, I think there were dragons or some kind of monster in it, anyone know what it is because its bugging me and this thread made me remember it now.

That’s The Great Wall. See .

Because the story went on so long it inevitably changed. The monster crocodile myth merged with the Proto-Indo-European serpent myths. Stories added reasons to kill the serpent, ways to make this particular one more threatening, updating where it lived to be more relevant to their current society and culture. It breathes fire because of Christian lore, captures women as a reason for the hero to slay it and to give girls a part in the story, hoards gold as a reward, whatever the singer needed to be more interesting.
>oarfish
Might have also been those freshwater dolphins China's been killing for the last couple decades. I imagine if they were playful or even helpful it could have begun the benevolent river spirit myth.

>what would lead to European dragons
snakes and lizards

I mean, I don’t speak for ancient people or anything, but if I was an ancient human, and I saw a crocodile eat someone, then saw another croc eat someone 20 years later, I wouldn’t assume it was some reincarnated God feeding on its foes or whatever, I’d probably think it was another crocodile.

I want a dragon gf so bad, bros.

>Chinese person complains about propaganda

How dragon are we going?
