I was watching X today and I had a very interesting thought.
It started with Pat, that really cool snaggle-toothed longneck nicknamed for, (I would suppose,) being an apatasaur.
Upon this line of thought, I went to Bron. He's an apatasaur too, but he was named after the Brontosaurus. Any dinosaur nut here would understand this is kind of ironic, just considering that the Brontosaurus was found to not be a real species, rather a skeleton mix-up. Which comes to another interesting point, either in symbolism or maybe even movie continuity.
I know it's probably just a dumb thought of mine, but I just think it's interesting that Bron would possibly be named after something that doesn't technically exist. It's like the storytellers were trying to imply something. As far as beginnings, X had one of the more interesting ones. I mean, it started off with Littlefoot having a sleepstory and then all these other irreverent, almost convenient things happening up until he meets his long-lost father. Soon after, he only finds that his father's life is on a level that he is yet to keep up with, said father, (as stated before,) named after a species of dinosaur that doesn't exist.
I know I may be going a bit far here, but who's to say that Littlefoot never woke up from his dream at the beginning?
Nah, I'm just kidding. That would just ruin everything, even for me. And that's not cool, man. That's just not cool.
Anyway, just an interesting thought from a guy who has nothing better to do with his time.
Other than that, I thought Bron was quite awesome, and almost exactly what I pictured for a father of Littlefoot's, even if his name holds some irony in my mind.
