    The second half of the book is sorta hinted at. Bastion gets god-like unlimited wishing power and the very first thing he does is get revenge. He could have wished that his bullies had more empathy for kids weaker than them, but he instead uses a terrifying screaming dragon to exact vengeance. The audience just ignores that because of the triumphant music score, and the awesomeness of Falcor. But if a dark, sinister theme played during that last scene.....
