Alisha Dee Well, for sure, you guys might be on to something but here are a few more reasons why they defiled the characters: for 1-the writers and directors were different and they chose to make the Neverending Story more kid-oriented hence the new goofy-personality of the charaters. 2-The first film was an adaptation of a German book. The source was almost completely abandonned for this movie. 3-It was the heydays for 90's MTV in popularity and influence, that flick feels like an MTV series' episode aimed at teens. The producers tried to capitalize on that popularity emulating that "style" with this disgrace of a movie. 4-Finally, it prefigures the animated series which first aired in 1995 and was closer to the 3rd film than the source material or the 1st one for that matter.

michael dorsey nah, the word "hollow" had been used in other medias, such as a chracter in Megaman Starforce called "Hollow".

But in "Neverending Story" 2 they explained that every wish takes a memory away! And now they want him to wish? WTF!!!???

FUN FACT The name bastion screams at the end of the first movie is "moonchild" Its based on a German translation from the original book or something

You mean Moonchild is the English translation of the original German name from the book. My first introduction to the story was the Finnish translation of the book. In it, the name Bastian gives the empress is Kuuntytär, Moon's daughter. I've always wondered which translation was closer to the original German name, child or daughter.

20:41 To be fair, even though it was Bastian's fault for leaving it out in the open, but it wasn't Bastian's fault he couldn't use the necklace to make wishes as The Childlike Empress/Moonchild told him earlier he cannot use the necklace for that purpose because of a supposed "wish overload", that's why he basically became the designated hero-in-distress in that situation. The fact the _step-sister_ makes wishes with it implies that Moonchild may have allowed anyone else who held the necklace in their hands to make wishes with it, just NOT Bastian (and made a brain fart by forgetting to tell him why HE can't make wishes with it) presumably because she thinks he would make wreckless wishes, something that the sister did. Bastian seemed like he was smart enough to try to set things right by attempting to send his creations back home to Fantasia, which is what he wanted for the residents there ever since the Nasties got involved.

AS pathetic as the Nasties may seem, they've come the closest to winning out of every villain in the series

They're not. This movie killed the franchise. No remake either. They attempted to fix it with Tales from the Neverending Story in 2001 but after one season, nothing had changed. So the scrapped the plans for Season 2. Then in 2014 plans for a remake came along and those were scrapped because of the backlash from The Neverending Story III and feared that the remake would be worse than 3 and in some opinions of others 2 as well. So there is no plans for anymore films at all period
