Unpopular Pony Opinions

[Leave a Whisper]

I definitely think they were meant to be "Reimagined for G4" versions. And if you think about it, Tirac/Tirek in particular kinda had to be reimagined because his G1 schtick had already been used by Nightmare Moon.

Yeah, and that, to me, ended up being a better call back to aspects of Rescue From Midnight Castle (regardless of whether it was intentional or not) than G4 Tirek did.

That being said, if it were up to me, I would have at least kept Tirek's ability to turn ponies and other animals into monsters, and had that be his goal rather than stealing attributes.  G4 Tirek is not a villain I can take seriously, and the main reason for that is because the ability they gave him means that one of the only things I can remember him doing is standing around with his mouth open.

  That last line got me!

Me too. Animation stills of err, "magic eating" Tirek look like a red baboon with an O-face.

For an unpopular opinion, I didn't want toys of characters that had been completely "fleshed out".  I really liked discovering who they were on my own.  I'm still less interested in collectables of characters from my favorite moves or TV shows.  Also, toys that didn't have a canon character suddenly getting one bothered me too.

Same here! I much prefer to make up my own personalities for my toys, and I feel like that was....I don't know, easier/more encouraged in the earlier gens? Now everything is too closely based on the cartoon. Not that that has stopped me inventing my own personalities for my two Rainbow Dashes (Rainbow Dash: love the toys, can't stand her personality in FiM).

Princess Royal Purple and Princess Royal Pink have really started to appeal to me lately. I don't know why but I just adore them! I keep seeing them in lots and think about bidding on them, but the lots usually contain a lot of uncommon ponies and get bid up quick >u< I'll have to make a point of grabbing them sometime though!

Okay, I know this one might be super unpopular, but I really need to get this off my chest. Sometimes I just believe that My Little Pony would have been much better off if Hasbro had just pulled the plug entirely after G3.5. There, I said it.

*before G3.5, if you're gonna go that route

I don’t like the Firefly pose because it doesn’t look right to me, I like it when ponies are standing on four legs not three or two (looking at you Truly Pose)

I do not like open mouthed pose ponies, with the exception of DnWs. I can live with it, without fussing much, but I'm not crazy about it.

I like the Magical Scenes gimmick a lot, but I wish they'd used more then the usual characters and Fluttershy's moulded butterflies looked... like it needed to be medically removed, to put it politely. RD and Rarity's are great and I'm still kicking myself for not getting one at the dollar store to customize, because she has a thicker, fuller tail.  I also like the Flip n Flows gimmick, but have the same issue of them being limited to the boring awful mane suxx.

I could accept that statement if you could explain why.

I feel like not liking g4 is one thing, but why should the brand of been stopped?

This may be an unpopular opinion or just a mundane one but I believe Sunshower is Sweetberry and Starcatcher's love child.

It's just because of plenty of things that happened afterwards and cannot ever be reversed now. To me, 2000s was overall a much better time to be a fan of MLP compared to today.

A sea pony is the love child of a Pegasus and an earth pony?

My bad, I should've specified. G3 Sunshower.

Oh! I forgot about her completely. Oops.
 


I think that might be more in the realm of personal toy interactions then unpopular opinion though.

Although you know, the sea pony thing could work. They do have 'wings'...

Idk if there's a personal toy interaction thread but I see Sweet Scoops being the mother of G3 Fizzy Pop, who's then the mother of Tempest.
