Eh, I'm not big on G1 references in G4. Look what they did to the Smooze and Tirac; they became totally different characters who could easily have had different names. Plus it's so annoying when you're looking up MLP online and all you get is G4, e.g. the other day I was looking for the G1 episode Somnambula and ended with wall-to-wall Egyptian-style G4 pony.But that's just my view as a grumpy G1 fan Others might feel differently.
G1 should be G1, G4 should do its own thing and not need to reach back to G1, honestly. I agree with Shaz - I feel like G4 mostly trampled on the G1 references it used, and none of them were necessary if G4's world was as amazing and deep as people like to say it is vis a vis older gens.So yeah. I see your point as the suggestion, but honestly...I'm happier when G4 is itself, and leaves G1 to itself. There's room enough for all the gens to do their own thing after all.
Although it does remind me of how I've never been a fan of "Pie" being treated as Pinkie's surname. Ponies with full names weirds me out.
I was excited that them maybe bringing Tirek back would shut up the people who say g1 was all rainbows and butterflies with no fantasy elements at all,
But reinventing new versions of old villains (in a very lame way, as has been said) gives this impression of "we can do it better than they did in the original, look how great we are"...which also conceals the reality of "we have none of our own ideas any more, what can we pilfer from G1?"
what annoys me is that FiM recycles stuff from G1 "in name only". Like, we've got this thing called the Smooze, but it's basically just Flubber. And they seem to do it as some sort of... low-effort fanservice? not sure how to put it.
