What's Your Popular Pony Opinions?

People who think that all older characters are prototypes and carbon copies of current characters  irritates the crap outta me. It invalidates the fact that they have their own personality, history and way of handling situations. Plus it perpetuates misconceptions, confusion and for those who actually know otherwise, but do it anyway, flat out lies.

OOOOHH yes, I hate this too. Especially when I see people say stuff like "oh in G3 Rainbow Dash was like *insert description here* but her current personality.." they're different characters!! Or when people call the ponies that the G4 main 6 were based off, the "Concept 6", I hate that. They existed waaaayy before the Main 6 did and they don't exist solely to be "the ones that the main 6 were based off"....

And I hate it when people draw Surprise with blonde hair Her hair's chartreuse, dammit.

 Carrehz your awesome. 

 I guess they don't like using highlighter markers for Surprise and Baby Surprise. Do they have chartreuse in those digital drawing pallettes?

Meh, everyone has their own way of viewing older generations. I imagine if you come in with G4 it is hard to realign yourself to see that there were generations and characters that were already established before FIM began. I find it annoying too, but I also kind of understand it, except where it gets to levels of offensiveness. I don't think that any of the mane six really represent any of the ponies people connect them to from the original eighties line. They have some loose similarities but they are really just themselves.

Rainbow Dash grew wings between G3 and G4. Considering that the only other example we have of 'wing-growing' is when Twilight grew them to become a princess (wings and horns), I'd be much more interested to see that if people are insisting on making G3 and G4 Dash connected, they started discussing the possibility it makes Dash in G4 some kind of illicit illegitimate princess At least it would be imaginative .

...It's really hard not being able to type the number that comes before 2. Sigh. Stupid PC.

I think most early pony art draws Surprise with yellow hair. I actually prefer it yellow to the icky green colour they sometimes use, but that looks like being an unpopular opinion, so maaaybe I should take it to the other thread But I remember being surprised when I first saw Surprise and Honeycomb irl and they had neon hair like Shady. I think I spent most of my childhood believing Shady was the only one with that bright hair colour xD

On the subject of prototypes/carbon copies, Surprise and Honeycomb are absolutely different ponies and are absolutely not clones. They are both amazing and epic ponies and I love them both.

OT But I  think it sucks that computers are built to bite it within 4-5 years. I have game systems older then that and they work well! Computer companies need a big kick in the rear!

I think the trouble is that it's really hard to replicate Surprise's very distinct shade of highlighter yellow in flat digital shades. I dunno, maybe something about how the light hits the hair on the toy is really hard to reproduce? Anyways, that's how most of the art you see online ends up depicting her with either corn yellow or snotty green hair. I used to draw digitally and I would encounter this problem with trying to represent multidimensional color in a simplified style all the time.

I dunno, I prefer dull green!Surprise to blonde!Surprise. I particularly dislike it when people draw her with pale yellow hair - c'mon, Surprise has gotta be bright! But I'm rambling.

All the yellow ponies, all the time. Can't get enough of 'em, even though there's practically millions of 'em.
I also absolutely love Rainbow Ponies; their multicoloured hair and glittery symbols always made me feel like they were extra special when I was a kid.
And there is nothing greater (to my mind) than finding a Sunshine Pony whose hair still changes colour in the light.

Hear hear! I don't even like yellow very much, but I sure do love a yellow pony!
