History WMG / WereBackADinosaursStory

Ignoring the deleted scene that explains Screweye's origin, during his final scene, Screweyes expresses he becomes afraid when he's not scaring others. The crows descend upon him and nothing remains but his screw eye which surges with power. I always felt that Screweyes was the lesser minion of some unknown sinister presence. Consider how Neweye's power comes from technology, Screweyes seems to wield some kind of minor dark magic. The only evidence we have of this is when the crows "attack" Screweyes and carry off his screw eye. It's a pretty big what if, but what if Screweyes was given magical powers and or immortality, etc. in exchange for using his powers to spread mischief. The crows act as their messengers. Since Nothingisscarier, we're not given a face to this power, only the vague sense that something larger is at work and is acting through men like Screweyes as an intermediary. When Screweyes was defeated, the powers he answered to were not pleased and sent the crows to punish him.

[[WMG:Captain Neweyes is evil.]]
* Neweyes doesn't see any problem with travelling back in time, capturing dinosaurs, force-feeding them chemically treated cereal that drastically alters their behavior, shoving them out of his airship into the New York harbor, and [[spoiler:leaving his brother to the mercy of the crows]]. He's apparently made quite a killing for himself feeding this same cereal to children in the future. So, BewareTheNiceOnes indeed.

[[WMG:Neweyes caused the hat to fall on the little girl's head.]]

[[WMG:Captain Neweyes and Professor Screweyes are not brothers]]

[[WMG:Professor Screweyes didn't die because he wasn't alive to begin with./This is the same universe as Franchise/TheCrow.]]
* People assume the crows eat him at the end but that would make them feathery super-piranha and not birds with as fast and completely he disappears. One minute he's there, the next a flock of crows lands on him and ''do not move an inch'' until they fly away ''only a few seconds later'' leaving nothing but the screw, meaning they would've had to have eaten flesh, clothing, gristle, and ''bone.'' The only way the scene really makes sense is if you assume that Screweyes was really a vengeful ghost in the same universe that The Crow takes place in. This explains the powers he has (the only special effects in the circus shown to be tricks are the ones involving people in costumes but not the animated smoke, illusions and certainly not the hypnotism, nevermind the whole [[DealWithTheDevil contracts signed with blood]] thing) and also why his biggest fear is the crows. They're the only ones who can, if he loses control over them, take him back to the land of the dead which is what seems to actually happen.
[[WMG:Neweyes and Screweyes are actually an angel and a demon, respectively.]]
** Neweyes can travel through time; lives in a golden flying craft filled with light that apparently hangs about above the earth most of the time; bestows intelligence and goodness on animals; and not only listens to wishes (read: prayers) but works to answer them without using direct influence as much as possible. He also offers to save his "fallen" brother but doesn't force the issue, only making the ''offer'' and then ascending into the light shaking his head with pity when the offer is refused.

After using his Brain Grain to make everyone in the galaxy smart and creating galactic peace through an intellectual revolution, Neweyes realized that the future now rather dull with no war or conflict of sorts. So he decided to use his time-travel technology to dick around in the past.
** This last part is more likely in the case of Screweyes. He was the one who traveled into the past and started a circus of fear with his fear radio and his braindrain pills, all future technologies.

* It's a shame that this isn't a Disney movie, because following this, it could be a great add to the "Friends and the High Council" theory.
[[WMG: Screweyes isn't really dead]]

And the Rainbow Faces from Stone of Cold Fire are at the center of it: in the past, the earth was seeded with Brain Grain, turning all the dinosaurs intelligent as we see in the original film and it's sequels. Not for enlightenment, but as an experiment to test Brain Grain's effects on a planetary level. Come movie 7, with the Rainbow Faces. They're NOT aliens, but Time Travelers sent to check up on how the descendants of the Brain Grain-enhanced dinosaurs are doing! At this point the cereal wasn't yet perfected (the version we see in this film, is) but it turned out good enough to speed up the evolution of intelligence over presumably only a few generations.

[[WMG: Brain Grain is walnut-flavoured/made with walnuts.]]
Walnuts are an IQ-enhancing food in real life, so this could make sense. Vorb at one point even briefly mentions that Brain Grain comes in two flavours, with the latter one being "Nutty Nut".

[[Alternatively, this film and ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' aren't directly related, but are set in the same universe.]]

Keyword here: ''could''. Not "will", not "would", ''"could"''. What we see happen is all in his head either all in his head (i.e., ''this'' is what they "could" do) or symbolic of him being consumed by his fears and losing what little sanity he had left in the process. Heck, it could even be ''both'', with the latter being what's happening ThroughTheEyesOfMadness.

** To be fair, he offered his brother a second chance, which Screweyes promptly refused. By the time he reconsidered, Neweyes had already left.

They are both the same person, just from two different timelines.

[[WMG: [[MyImmortal Neweyes is a prep, while Screweyes is a goth]]]]

While this is implied in the movie (how else could Neweyes have a brother living in the 1990s, which is presumably decades, if not centuries in the past of whatever era Neweyes came from?). What isn't stated is that the future isn't pleasant. After all, it produces individuals like Screweyes and gives them access to time travel to terrify people in the past.

** Not to mention letting clumsy giants stumble around a crowded city.
