Turns out there’s a G3 pony called Meadowbrook. mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Meadowbr So much like Starswirl, Larson (or whichever writer) probably took the name from Hasbro’s pony list. I based this design on the pony. If I recall the gender wasn’t specified, so Meadowbrook could end up as either. I decided to draw a female pony because this design idea is what hit me the moment I saw the G3 pony.
As to the premiere itself. It was the most “meh” premiere to me.
What inconsistencies?
Blame the inconsistencies of the writers.
Or Canternese?
Yeah, here’s hoping we find out more about Meadowbrook and the “Eastern unicorns.”
