1. It's fairly popular in fanon (and probably only partially because of that experiment manga artwork that was done), but I have very little use for the Senshi/General pairings. I vaguely like Malachite/Minako, but I do not like Jadeite/Rei or Zoicite/Ami, and I am very indifferent to Neflyte/Makoto. Try as I might, I can't see that pairing working at all, or even the basis for it (other than the manga art).
2. I still do not understand the Chibiusa hate. ;__; Yeah, she can be annoying sometimes, but she's a kid. Of course she will be frustrating at times. And she really is sweet and develops so much over the course of the show. A huge part of S season would be missing without her friendship with Hotaru. In fact, the whole season would probably be drastically changed without it, and important events might not have happened.
3. Maybe I just haven't seen enough of them, but I really don't like the Amazoness Quartet, in the anime at least. Children villains have never been my favorite kinds of characters. However, I realize that they probably deserve the same kind of leeway I give to Chibiusa, on the basis of them being children and probably not fully understanding what the heck they're mixed up with. I do wonder how they got in with Zirconia at all, and if it's explained in either anime or manga. (Yes, I know they're Chibiusa's Senshi in the manga.)
1. I'm nearly curious as to what you would think of the PGSM(live action pairings) with the generals, but then I recall you're iffy about PGSM Nephrite. I've seen it's popular in fandom, but as much as I like toying with the idea myself (haha, that's what illustrations are for. >D) I look at some of the fics out there and read OC/senshi instead of General/Senshi *sigh*. Trouble of multiple versions &/or lack of canon. ._.; At least PGSM gives us stuff to go on. *pokes it*
2. Chibi-usa drives plot! >O Very much agreed!
3. I think in the animé the quartet were playing in the jungle and Zirconia or her servant showed them magic and promised them pretty baubles that more or less bought her their loyalty. They are more naive and misguided than anything in my opinion. In the manga I think they were brainwashed and awoken from some sort of slumber merely to serve Zirconia... Basically puppets. *sigh* Where she managed to find them, I have no idea. I guess the idea of child-vilains does send a negative message, though I guess it could be treated in a really interesting and challenging manner. Either way, I don't think we get to see enough of them to give them any appeal beyond "cute" or "creepy".
I still need to watch PGSM. XD I am curious. Not only do I not care for Neflyte's design, but I heard something about him being kinda ... incapable? Or at least thinking he is. If he really is, that would bug me, because I think he was about the smartest of the Generals in the anime. But if I had access to it (and time), I would have a look anyway. It deserves a look!
**nods.** I do feel sorry for the Quartet, when they are just kids and mixed up in something like that. I kinda liked one or two or them, I think ... maybe the ditz (blue)? I'm almost sure I didn't like the red one.... I need to try to watch more with them. XD;
And that's very sad for them in the manga, being brain-washed. ;__;
