bubix14 asks: What if the Firebird from Fantasia 2000 was a villain like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees.
I'm curious to know who would win in a battle between Firebird and Chernabog just like the people made Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees battle each other.
Bumble answers: The Firebird is representative of birth-death- and rebirth ...
much like the phoenix that rose from the ashes
His part was not so much as physical as Chernabog...
The Firebird himself was a spirit of the volcano
and depicted more as a "RITE OF SPRING"
much like when a forest fire brings
about the clearing out of the brush
and the rebirth of the forest
Chernabog is one of the most impressive
and the
most malevolent -- and he commanded all
of the spirits within the volcano ...
so he would dominate over the firebird
The Firebird would be in his control
and his flame would have no effect
The only advantage for the Firebird would be
for him to trick Chernabog past the coming
of the dawn to weaken his defenses in the light
of the day and the ringing of the Angellus Bell ...
