Unpopular Pony Opinions

Maybe popular opinion?

I wish they released an actual brushable Flurry Heart

IA. They could have done a brushable foal version of Flurry Heart and virtually nobody would have complained. Virtually not literally because McFlurry-haters complain about any- and everything that involves her

I wish they released an actual brushable Flurry Heart, a Shining Armor with a fringe (I think he always got a mohawk when it came to brushables) gave Chrysalis a proper mold (Not just the generic princess mold) and gave Cadence nice gradient pink to purple wings.

I'd like that too. Horses having roached manes=pure suckage.

Would like a Flurryheart in a more horsey looking gen.

Saaaaame. My favorite is the M&M one

I've decided that the original My Little Pony Movie is a Halloween movie.  It has witches, goblins, a giant spider, a blob that tries to take over everything, and plants that attack people...

Not to mention it has grave robbing, ghosts, undead, actual blood (at G rating!), torture devices and some pretty disturbing implications...

!!!! Seriously? That would never fly today!

Where was there blood in the MLP movie?

[Lilja]

Hydia steps on a bug and it turns into a big puddle. Technically insects don't have blood, but I guess it's kind of gruesome. As is the fact they eat live animals in a world where animals appear to have sentience. (but of course they don't eat any "cute" ones, just bats, worms etc.)

Also the witches are said to have genocided the grundles with their smooze, and maybe other creatures before them. There are dark implications, but all of these are in the background, glossed over or undermined by the extreme goofiness of the witches. There's nothing in this movie that would be deemed unacceptable today. (Well, maybe the blatant commercialism )

Also, when discussing their family history there's mention of cannibalism.

*Gasp* But wait, guys, surely G1 is all about tea parties and silly girly things like that?? *rolls eyes*

[Leave a Whisper]

I like the Surf Shop playset over the Butterfly Island playset.

People really need to retire that mindset and watch some MLP 'n Friends and movie specials. FiM's Rainbow Roadtrip was a snoozefest compared to Escape from Catrina (who enslaves a whole race to make drugs for her, lmao).
Or Rescue at Midnight Castle where not only wants the bad guy an endless night, he also kidnapped ponies, enslaved them, turned them into beasts to pull his dumb chariot and fuel his ego. Nightmare Moon's chariot is pulled by volunteers

When G3 had a teaparty it was done in musical form. And I remember one tea playset. G4 Fluttershy on the other hand was always having tea. Even her Halloween party was a tea party. So which generation is obsessed with tea parties now?

Speaking of Rainbow Roadtrip, I was pretty underwhelmed by it but I wouldn't mind if G5 went in that direction? I feel like it won't, but I sort of like the easy, low stakes, relaxing video.

So you want G3?
I think relaxing and low stakes can be perfectly combined with adventure and high stakes. See MLP 'n Friends. Btw, one of my fave episodes is Mish Mash Melee where the ponies switch personalities. That's relatively low stakes but was lots of fun. Rainbow Roadtrip was low stakes but boring.
It was one episode stretched to become a movie and that's why I think it wasted potential. They could have thrown more of a threat in there and it would have still contained lots of relaxed scenes because of the long runtime. In fact, all of that "Twilight is chosen to become ruler" stuff could have been in Rainbow Roadtrip but they made it a one-shot quest.

Eh, if I want laid back and low stakes I'll take Tales. Although the Runaway Rainbow and Ladybug Jambooree was awfully cute. I still haven't seen Faraway Friends or well, most G3 stuff.

Ok, good point.
Tales is actually my favorite cartoon of the two series...es so maybe something in that vein. But Tales is weird and totally would be ridiculed today if it came out. I love how weird it is.
