Do you think BJ should have put humans in Redwall?

[Captain Tammo]

Salamandastron probably wouldnt be able to be destroyed. It's still a mountain, even to badgers, who would come up to a humans' knee on all fours. Probably to the waist standing up. So it'd still be a mountain

[Redwall Musician]

Humans don't work and that's that. So why must we question it further?

Well, because they only don't work if you want to have a series that looks like it does now.

I don't think there's anything wrong with imagining the possibilities, though, or how different it would be if there were humans in the Redwall universe.

It's akin to some fan fiction I've read or heard about where some of which species are good/evil are switched around, so you might have villainous badgers, or that take place in the distant future of the series, where the creatures have access to modern technology.

Even if they're not your cup of tea, they're still the result of imagination and creativity, wondering, "What if..."

I think the concept of humans in the Redwall world might be worth consideration, and that it'd be interesting to think about how they might have changed the series, even if most people probably like it better the way things are now.

Please stop calling Brian Jacques "BJ". It just sounds disrespectful. Call him Brian, Mr. Jacques, or Brian Jaques. Seriously guys.

I like this no nonsense approach.  To add a human you'd need to consider relative size...are the mice as big as humans or do the humans tower over the mice?  Those spears would give a pretty nasty cut on your big toe to say the least!    There's just no way to make it work, and not face a ton of continuity issues in the story if you had to consider everything relative to the size of a human, leaving all other fantasy elements (e.g. magic) out of the story.

*shrug* I just don't know. Redwall Abbey has to be tall enough for birds to nest on top of. Maybe that's one of the things you're not supposed to question.

[martins#1fan]

Maybe, if the humans and rodents were the same size...... then again, humans would probably just try to take over Redwall. You guys know how that is. No offense to the Germans but, hence Hitler, he tried to take over the entire WORLD let alone one little abbey.

[Osu]

Ahaha, I think comparing all humans to Hitler is a little harsh. If I'd been dropped into Mossflower, first thing I'd do is track down Salamandastron and study its mysteries first hand! And then to Redwall for some serious scoffing. Hey, those rodents are good cooks.

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

I'd go to Redwall first myself.

If I were to go to Redwall though, I'd be an otter, not a human.

[Osu]

Aww, where's the fun in that? ....no, nevermind. (I'd be a hare.)


Even so, a Redwall bajillions of years down the road, say, with human researchers discovering it wouldn't be so bad, right?

No it wouldn't.  but we'd have to create a sort of star trek prime directive in order to explore it XD  Personally i want to go to Redwall and scoff.

[Lutra]

I don't think having Redwall discovered by humans in an alternative universe would be a good thing. ^^

[Matthias720]

How about humans in an alternate dimension observing the lives and adventures of Redwallers on a pan-dimensional viewing screen?

[Lutra]

^ Say what? 

How about just a plain old computer?

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

What if the Redwallers discovered our dimension?
