Title: G1 MLP Media Retrospective, Are You Interested?
Post by: Bekuno on March 08, 2018, 05:58:17 PM

Hey pony folk! I have an idea I wanted to share. So MLP:FIM Season 8 is on it's way (March 24th) and I plan to start my weekly discussion posts. However, I know there's plenty of you who aren't here for FIM and aren't interested in such things.

Well, I wanted to do something for the rest of us! I want to take a look back on all the G1 MLP media, from Rescue at Midnight Castle to My Little Pony Tales. I'll post a discussion post about the episode/film/special, give a summary and mention special points or trivia, and then we can chat about it!

So here's what we'd be looking at in order:
- Rescue At Midnight Castle (original TV special)
- Escape From Katrina (TV special)
- My Little Pony: The Movie (original film)
- The End of Flutter Valley (ten part TV episode special)
- My Little Pony n' Friends Season 1 (TV series)
- My Little Pony n' Friends Season 2 (TV series)
- My Little Pony Tales (TV series)

It'll be quite a bit, which is why I want to have the option of doing more than one discussion a week. You can always comment on them at any time. Thankfully, a lot of the episodes in MLP n Friends are two or four parts! I'll be watching the episodes every time I make a post so I can be as accurate as possible.

If y'all enjoy it, I'm absolutely down to do G3 media after we finish these off! Let me know your thoughts!

And if you need a refresher, those of you in region 1 at least, Amazon has MLP Tales and MLP: The Movie on sale on prime for about $5 each, and the complete MLP n Friends TV series for about $20 :)

I think this would be awesome! I think a new discussion every week would be amazing, because I feel like it would just be too much if it was, say, every day. I love G1 media, so this would be so cool! :biggrin:

Yes, yes, yes! I'd go for a few times a week so those who don't or can't come online every day have a chance to participate in one discussion before interests shift to the next. I'd also feel like it would spread it out enough to think about the media and have neat discussions or insights.

I'd be interested to see threads like this, it would encourage me to watch G1 stuff more, I've seen a bit of it but I don't really know where to start so a discussion would help guide me.
G3 discussions would be fun too.

What a great idea! I've been meaning to go back and watch some of the older series anyway and it'd be SO fun to have dedicated threads discussing them! :) I'd love to see G3 too eventually, but G1 will certainly have much more content and ideas to unpack.
How often the threads pop up isn't super important to me, whatever will be easiest for you to handle is good with me! I'm really excited to see this though!

I am not a super g1 show fanatic but it would be nice for folks to have more of a chance to discuss them. Unfortunately the comics are not well known enough for this kind of thing but more g1 discussion has to be a good thing.

I like this idea! Voted for one a week ^^

I would love a reason to re-watch the series. I think once a week would give everyone a chance to watch the topic and join the conversation.

Sounds great. But count me out of Mish Mash Melee as that episode gives me the creeps.

Thank you all for your responses so far! I'm glad to see a lot of you are interested.

Well, we can start with Rescue At Midnight Castle on Sunday! Since once a week seems to be popular that's what we'll do for now, but if y'all start feeling that we need to up it to two feel free to say something  :)

I'll try to be on and talk about it! The show grounded me out of reality after how horrible school was for me so I have a lot of them memorized and especially the songs! I even try to make my voice sound along with each characters XD One episode I didn't see or heard of until after I was out of school and getting on pony boards was Ice Cream Wars, so that one doesn't click with me like it would have T.T

Um it looks like I tried to jump ahead with talking about the shows...OOPS!

Anyway, yeah I'll be into it ^_~

I do have quite a collection of my obsession with the G1 show... I'm glad I had The Disney Channel to watch them on growing up, OOHH and the few that was taped in the 80's. I want to find my tape that has the missing "Hurry" song from The Glass Princess episode T.T

I love this idea!  I didn't vote on the poll because I don't really have an opinion regarding the time frame. :)

I can more than make up for your absence.
