Quote from: Carrehz on February 13, 2022, 07:20:17 AMI'd love to know the story behind "Lilac" and "Score". Normally I'd assume they were just early names for them that were changed after it was too late to fix it for the cartoon, but that's the only place those names have ever turned up, right? I know there's a catalogue page or something out there that lists some early names for the other brothers - Steamer's original name was Casey IIRC - but I think Quarterback is still Quarterback on there.. and none of the *other* boys had their names messed up in the cartoon... so what gives? It really feels like there must be an explanation for them - they didn't just get those names out of nowhere - but where DID they come from...?Oh Casey would have been a cute name for Steamer! I'm trying to remember who was called Lilac? I don't think we have an actual pony named Lilac do we? I want one now.

The Quest of the Princess Ponies is one of the most horrible spectacles in G1 animation for me. It absolutely trashed the personalities and names of the beautiful gemstone princesses I'd adored as a kid in the comics, so I never really warmed to that at all.
Fleeing for their lives from a pack of power hungry evil lava demons? Bingo!

Bingo!It does make you wonder, doesn't it.The sad thing is that I think maybe the lava demons had more personality at times. Although it has been a while since I watched it, and I may be remembering wrong.

That said, I like a lot of the imagery in QotPP.Especially the reflective gleam on his eyes when he became a crystal demon. And the ice demons.
It's not that even in the UK comics, the princesses were perfect or always polite. I'm remembering Princess Ruby impatiently nagging and scolding at baby ponies because she's trying to impress a prince...and Amethyst constantly interfering and messing up everything she tried to do.
No need to get snippy. It's the unpopular opinions thread, we're not gonna agree on everything.
