Who knows? Firefly and Rainbow Dash are virtually the same character.

And even so, Firefly was popular enough to get 3 toys in her first two years and a rerelease 4 years later, surely that was a good indication. Plus Megan and her would have made a pretty badass combo. Still, the cartoon had Fizzy the Moochick, and Wind Whistler, so I can't complain.

At least Firefly wasn't straight killed off, so there's that.

I still want to see Firefly show up as RD's mom, like how they reused G1 Twilight for Twilight's mom.

They could have the appearance, not sure about the name.

Lauren Faust said she was pretty much equally invested in Pinkie/Fluttershy being the opposite race and eventually she went along with the suggestion from some of the executives. Something like that anyway.

Personally I'm really glad they had to use Dash instead of Spitfire. Spitfire's appearance pretty much perfectly matches her personality while Dash's contrasts in an interesting way, and she also has by far the most interesting character design in the show.

Now I'm thinking of Spitfire being a mane cast member and RD being the Wonderbolt captain. That would have been interesting.

Rainbow could probably do a damn good Drill Instructor impersonation.

Then RD would be the breakout background character.

Well, she's pretty much one to Shy as it is, so it's not too hard to imagine.

Yeah, in "May the Best Pet Win" she basically put on her drill instructor hat. It would basically have been that, only she knows what she's talking about.

Hurricane Fluttershy as well.

Gave off some Blossom and Bubbles vibes.

Hmmm, kind of a mixed result. The darker parts of the picture look great in my opinion, but the brighter areas stand out too much and seem more flat and less textured than the darker parts. Oh, but the little white shines are really good. Basically it's the mane and tail that looks weird. But the color definitely adds a lot to your style, keep it up.

I don't think it's so much the color as the fact that the tail and mane look more sketchy than the rest of the drawing. They're more obviously marker, especially the mane.

And now I must sleep.

Pinkie also looks good with short hair.

Everyone keeps saying this, but they really aren't THAT similar. It's more of an allusion then a straight reference.

They shouldn't really have to fear lawyers when it's their own IP.

Unfortunately, when one lets one's own trademarks expire, really weird stuff happens.

Just because it's not trademarked doesn't mean they suddenly can't use it anymore.

They just can't use the names. Which is why most names are recycled from G3.

The thing though is that they actually can use the names. In fact, as I understand it, trademark law is primarily governed by actual use, so it shouldn't be any harder to reestablish an existing trademark then to create an entirely new one. In fact, it should be easier. There might be other reasons not to use Firefly, such as it being too generic, but that could easily be changed by switching to Fire Flye or something like that.

Well this has been interesting week for me, denied that I was a Brony, had a game of "No I'm not, Yes you are game" with you lot about this, then I stupidly fall for a reverse psychology trick making me confess I'm a Brony then I come to accept my status all while staying in Scotland doing the other stuff I was there. Man oh man has it been a busy week for me.

It's five in the morning. I've been up all night again, smoking beer and drinking Marlboros. I really need to bed.

[up]Now that you've admitted you're a brony (there was never any doubt), we need to find you an appropriate avatar. Something cool. Rainbow Dash is your favorite pony. Yessss...
