Flint is a teenager with a petrifying gaze, created by "JUMANJI" to look like Wade Riley and mess with Judy's mind and seduce her into petrification. after her heart was broken when she was rejected by Wade at school.
Traits[]
Flint is expressly made to gain Judy's attraction and nothing else, he is a seemingly perfect suitor for Judy, even saves her twice; Once from falling into a Bottomless Pit after he appears for the first time when he comes out of one door in an abandoned door hall; And another from a giant Eagle. Both feature implausible physics meaning Flint is not all as he seems, despite looking more human than most "JUMANJI" denizens and living in a luxurious floating castle above the clouds, he is the first that Alan outright identifies as an artificial creation of the game, since Schlatter voices both Flint and Judy's original school crush, Wade, this is another hint that "JUMANJI" is deliberately engineering Flint to trap Judy. Flint's friendly Prince Charming persona is just a cover up to his real intentions by adding Judy to his living statue collection. Although at first Flint doesn't turn Judy into stone the first time he has the chance because he wants her to wear a fancy dress first. He has much fewer qualms about Peter and Alan because they force him to act immediately.
As the "JUMANJI" equivalent to a Gorgon, Flint captures inhabitants and animals to turn to stone for his garden full of petrified animals and people, petrifying them by contact with his eyes that glow when he petrifies someone. When he tries to petrify Judy, she pulls a hand mirror and he petrifies himself, permitting the statues he made come back to life.
Appearance[]
In "Love on the Rocks", Judy fancied Wade Riley and wanted to ask him out to go to the school dance, but he is already going with someone else and tricks her into doing his homework for him instead. Back home, Judy is heartbroken and does not want to play "JUMANJI", but she accidentally rolls the dice giving them the clue: "WHEN WHAT YOU WANT IS BEHIND THE DOOR,
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU'RE WISHING FOR."
In "JUMANJI", Alan decides the answer to their clue is to bring them to a room of many doors; after two wrong tries, Judy falls down a hole and is rescued by a young boy from behind door number three, who introduces himself as Flint. Flint takes the three back to his castle up in the clouds. On the way up, he earns Peter's gratitude after saving him from falling to his death nearly falls to his death, but Alan remains suspicious of Flint, as he's never seen him before.
The only door in his palace that is off-limits, is covered in vines and hides the resolution to his secret. When investigating the forbidden room, Alan and Peter find statues of various animals inhabitants of "JUMANJI", and even find one of Trader Slick and later that of a giant Eagle which has just attacked Judy and been driven off by Flint. Alan realizes that "JUMANJI" is taking advantage of Judy's recent heartbreak and created Flint to give Judy the perfect boyfriend that Wade wouldn't be for her. Flint changes Peter into a statue, but Alan escapes when Judy interrupts him.
Flint tries to turn her to stone as he kisses her, but Alan interrupts and shows her the statue of Peter. Flint pins Alan down with Peter's statue and tries again to turn Judy to stone, but she reflects his attack back onto him with his mirror. With Flint defeated, all of the statues return to normal and the castle disintegrates.
Judy apologizes for her behavior and realizes she solved the clue as it was trying to warn her about Flint. At home, Judy gives Wade his homework, but it turns out she made him fail as she realized what a loser he is and is no longer smitten with him, due to her experience with Flint.
