Talk:Mount Weather/@comment-120.151.33.24-20170829005949

When the president was locked up by his son, and then forcibly cured him. I wish he had helped a few skypeople escape and gone with them.

Then sitting down at camp Jaha, discussed a surrender / truce of the mountain men. While he 'no longer had power', he still had significant influence.

I wish that they had been able to agree to:

- Abi to assist in skypeople donating bone marrow to mountain men children. Any under 18 gets treated. Might have a vote, maybe 100 skypeople will volunteer providing pain relieft is provided.etc. Where they had to kill the kids to get enough bone marrow, it wont be necessary if people donate, and have sufficient time for it to recover. Donating is non-lethal and typically has no long term side effects.

- Immediate release of all grounder prisoners.

- Grounders and or skypeople volunteer to provide occassional blood transfusions. etc.

- mountain men had significant resources they could have given as a peace treaty to help sky people.

the end result might be, death to any mountain men over a specific age. but guaranteed that their children will surivive, and their legacy will survive. But for certain, treatment for all under 18. AND what if the 40+ skypeople were rescued, and then they volunteered to provide treatment for all those that helped to hide them.

There were over 300 mountain men killed. Like Mia said, none of them is innocent. But still, there were good people there, and people essiential to the protection and surivival of human history and skills.

So much of human history was lost with mount weather, the artwork, the piano... Mountain men didnt lose that war. Human kind did. I just wish things had been different. The president was the key to this.

How this could play out in a film. After the truce between grounders, skypeople, and mountain men:

I can imagine, the president gets skypeople inside the mountain, fighting ensures. At this stage, nearly all the skypeople are still in hiding, etc. Then the presidents son, and those loyal to him, refused to the truce and ended up locking themselves up on sector 5. Then you have the grounders, mountain men, and sky people, working together, to attack. You might have only 1 skyperson is held captive on level 5. You might have the president watching them being totured over the screen, begging his son to release that person. When the skyperson is dead, the president floods that sector with poison gas, killing his own son, and nearly all the mountain soldiers. The only mountain men left alive are those that agree to the truce, and are completely at the mercy of volunteers.

there really is so many things that could have gone differently.

Why couldnt they use bone marrow from grounders? I know it was less effective. but what if they had discovered nightbloods?

once someone is cured, nightblood, or bone marrow, surely after a few weeks, they can donate to the next person. you only need a few skypeople to donate, and then they can cure themselves?
