Nope, it was her http://mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/Lauren_Faust
So I am unsure which bits of this are unpopular opinions, but this statement of Faust's (I'm copying from Wiki, if it's misquoted or misattributed then that's my disclaimer) about the original MLP animation being "endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying".So the reason I have issues with this, aside the obvious fact anyone who's ever seen Rescue at Midnight Castle, Tambelon, Bright Lights, Somnambula, Revolt of Paradise Estate etc knows it's rubbish, is that in my opinion, that statement perfectly sums up FIM. I am not even that big a fan of the old animated series. But I have become much more sympathetic to it since that, because as far as I'm concerned, Faust basically created a series that was everything she hated about G1 animation. And most of those reasons, especially the obsessive need to befriend everything, is why I couldn't ever get into FIM. I don't remember a compulsive need for the old ponies to befriend every villain they met. I do remember North Star ringing a bell to consign one of them to a world of darkness though...Given the size of the FIM fandom, it's clearly an unpopular opinion, so I am putting it here
And, if I may diverge from the G4 ranting for a while, I think MOC/MIB ponies, especially from the earlier generations, are the saddest thing ever. 20 years in a box?
