Somewhere around there. Before they started offering the mail-in "Lucky the Stallion" (Yeah, I'll BET he was!) with the "Pony Points" on the packages. I actually had one of them. And the two "baby" ponies, too!

Edit: No, I mean WAAY back during the original MLP series/movie franchise. No FIM in sight.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-22-2015, 04:12 PM

Woah, I hadn't even considered that. His name is "Lucky", and he's like practically the only male, so that means... HAH. Sneaky, Hasbro. Very sneaky.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 03-22-2015, 04:18 PM

Ostensibly, it was because his symbol was a horseshoe on his rump. Uh-huh.... And back then, he WAS the only male! (And ya had to collect a bunch of the points just to get him.) He was blue, and also smaller than the girls. Like REALLY little- with a "Mane-hawk". Heh, he was a rebel, apparently.

Prince Lir was a lucky brony bastard as he scored with Lady Amalthea, a unicorn in human form, so brofist to Lir. Hell if Rarity or Celestia or Twilight Sparkle in either humanized or anthrofied humanoid (as you seen on Deviantart, Furaffinity and R34) form existed i would too score with either one.

And since you don't think horror icons would work as King Haggard, what makes Christopher Lee different than Robert Englund or Doug Bradley?

*pennydreadful* · 04-18-2015, 02:08 AM

... uh, because Christopher Lee actually did Haggard's voice in the animated movie??? And he looks just like the character, and is an accomplished enough actor to do justice to the role?

~~JakeSully~~ · 04-19-2015, 09:05 PM

Well Lee is a horror icon too you know especially as Dracula.

And did you know originally that Vincent Price, James Earl Jones, John Carridean and John Vernon were gonna be Haggard before Lee was chosen?

Hell, even for Schmendrick originally they wanted Casey Kasem with Mark Hamil to play him before Alan was chosen, i think Casey or Mark would had been nice choices.

And for Lir, they wanted Slyvester Stallone with Richard Harris, Kurt Russell and Harrison Ford for the part, then The Dude was chosen.

Do you agree Lir was a total hardcore brony?

You should have me in your TMNT After Dark club.

*pennydreadful* · 04-19-2015, 10:06 PM

I'm well aware that Lee is a horror icon, as I have an extensive collection of Hammer Horror films at home. I don't need you to mansplain the history of TLU to me - it's my favorite book and one of my favorite films. I already know who the alternate voices could have been - it's in the IMDB trivia section: not exactly hard to find.

And no, I don't agree Lir was a brony.

As far as the AD section - I'm not trying to be an asshole but you seem a little socially awkward and I'm not comfortable letting you in at this stage. You and I don't know each other that well - my feelings on the subject may or may not change at a later date. Don't take it personally - you're certainly not the only person who I've not let in and you won't be the last.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 04-20-2015, 11:44 PM

You, know, know that I think of it, Vincent Price might have made a really good Haggard, too. Now, though.... Maybe Sean Connery? He's old enough, got a very distinctive voice and bearing, and he could pull off the world-weary, charismatic bad-guy with the damaged psyche thing for Haggard. I picture it as like a cross between his Green Knight, and Draco from Dragonheart. With maybe some Last Crusade thrown in.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-20-2015, 11:48 PM

Sean Connery?

"Each time I shee the unicornsshh, my unicornsshh, it'sshh like that morning in the woodsshh... and I am truly drunk, in sshhpite of myshelf... I mean to shay, I'm NOT drunk, I'm Sshhcottish!"

Ehh. I'unno, maaaaan.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 04-21-2015, 12:01 AM

Well, obviously, we'd have to sober him up first. I'm thinking of a clean-up like in Princess Bride, when Fezzik sobered up Inigo.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-21-2015, 12:05 AM

I think he's perfect just the way he is. He's Connery.

I nearly sprayed water out through my nose, thanks Leo.

I can't even think of Connery without thinking of that picture of him in the red bathing suit. You know the one.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 04-21-2015, 12:20 AM

You're not alone penny. I almost did the same thing. Never drink anything while trying to read a Leo post, is the lesson here, methinks.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-21-2015, 12:20 AM

Oh god, f*cking "Zardoz"?

I've never seen the movie but yeah everybody's seen the picture.

I've never once regretted missing the 70s. Swear to god.

That's the sweetest thing anybody's ever said to me.

*pennydreadful* · 04-21-2015, 12:23 AM

Given what we know of Sean Connery's fondness for woman-beating, if he were cast as Haggard, I'd just imagine him shouting at Amalthea when they're standing watching the ocean, and then bitchslapping her into the sea.

"Do you shtill deny yoursshhelf? Do you dare shhhtill pretend to be human??" *BAM*

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 04-21-2015, 12:23 AM

Really? I was just thinking of our own self-preservation. Don't wanna' have our obits read "drowned on soda while reading a post from a smart-@$$."

Penny- ROFLMAO!! That might actually fit, now that I think of it.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-21-2015, 12:28 AM

Hooooly sh*t that was good, penny.

......But is it really a "fondness", though? Or is it more like, "I may have overssshhtepped my boundsh onessh or twishhe"?

I mean, I really hope that's not why Indy's Mom left. You notice they never really go into it?

*pennydreadful* · 04-21-2015, 12:57 AM

Ehhhh... if you've ever watched that infamous interview of him with Barbara Walters, or read his original comments in the 1965 Playboy interview I'd say that it:

a) seems to be normal to him, and
b) when the interviewer's a woman, they may not be game to bring it up in case he hits them.

I recall reading an interview with his first wife where she said that he hit her in the face.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-21-2015, 01:02 AM

I know, I read all about it, just trying to lighten the mood.

I mean, people don't wanna remember the Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. who gave his wife the back of his hand for being mouthy. They wanna remember the Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. who comically busted a vase over his own kid's head.

..............WOW, okay, this guy needs a hug. Something's amiss.
