Sorry, didn\'t mean to doublepost, the internet glitched and I don\'t know how to get rid of the second one.

to:
* TopGod: Pengu, the Oldest of the Dragons, their Leader and who \\\"brings the rain\\\".

I removed the entry with the edit reason: \\\"Pengu was the oldest of Sisu\\\'s family. The movie doesn\\\'t say that he was the oldest dragon of all. Nor how Sisu\\\'s family ranked against the other dragons.\\\"

The entry was added back with more text:

* TopGod: Pengu, the Oldest of the Dragons. When Sisu gets her New powers from a piece of the Gem, she referes to the powers coming from her older or younger now named sibling. When presenting the Dragon Statues to Raya, She introduces her to her already mentioned siblings but when she comes to Pengu she solemny calls him \\\'\\\'\\\'our\\\'\\\'\\\' Big Brother who \\\"brings the rain\\\" [a life-giving Force of Nature rather than Fog or ShapeShifting]. He was also TheLeader who refused to give up and who decided that they had to create the Dragon Gem,

There\\\'s still a problem in that the movie does not support that Pengu is the Oldest of the Dragons, nor that he\\\'s the \\\"top\\\" or highest dragon of the dozens of dragons shown.

When Sisu takes Raya to the mountain top in Heart, she says \\\"I want you to meet my brothers and sisters\\\". Her introduction of Amba, Pranee, Jagan, Pengu all are done in the context of a family introduction and follow the same basic format... variations of \\\"this is (name) their power is (xxx)

When she gets to Pengu, she says... \\\"And Pengu. He\\\'s our big brother. He brings the rain.\\\"

There is definitely a sense of solemnity and respect when she addresses Pengu, but she puts no special emphasis on the word \\\"our\\\" that would imply a grand, plural \\\"OUR\\\" meaning he is the big brother of all the dragons.

What Sisu says only establishes him as the oldest brother of Sisu\\\'s brothers and sisters.

It was suggested that \\\"he brings the rain\\\" implies that he has a grand power higher than other dragons. However, the movie shows the power as being able to summon rain at will. It doesn\\\'t create clouds, it doesn\\\'t create the water, it simply causes it to rain.

In short, I hold to the position that what\\\'s shown in the movie doesn\\\'t support Pengu as the TopGod of the dragons.
