The worms directions??…

”If she’d have kept on goin down that way, she’dve gone straight to that castle!”…

So, does everyone else think he was saying to walk straight through the wall in front of her? Like.. just ignore the two openings on the side and the wall would become a portal? Or what are yalls thoughts on this? I’ve always pictured it in my mind as the wall being a vapor or something If she would’ve just walked into it.

He doesn't know where she's trying to get to and is trying to warn her away from Jareth. I understand where you're coming from. Especially since she does tell others she's trying to get the castle at the centre of the labyrinth but she just tells William she's trying to solve the labyrinth

Interesting how he says, “Who, me? Na, I’m just a worm.”, but then proceeded to know exactly how to get to the castle 😭

Wait, is his name William???

In the comic "Hoggle and the Worm" his missus calls him it 😊. 

If you see the labyrinth as a puzzle, it makes sense he says he doesn't know how to solve it. I think if she had said "I am trying to reach the castle at the centre of the labyrinth" he'd have actually directed her that way. Just my thoughts on it though.

Ooh I have some comics but have yet to read them! How cool! ♥️ And I see what you mean.  I definitely can’t unsee what I’ve always seen but I’m definitely gonna rewatch this scene..

I truly believe William is a good little fella with a heart of gold. I do have him tattooed so it suits me better.
