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.
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.
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.

Oh! I forgot about her completely. Oops. I think that might be more in the realm of personal toy interactions then unpopular opinion though.
