Unpopular Pony Opinions

[Mami Tomoe]

I like the generation 3 cartoons they are not Oscar worthy but its fun

I wish we had a gen 2 cartoon

tales is really funny

I really want another line of pony friends

I liked G3 cartoons too, not anywhere as much as anything G1 but some of them were nice, especially the ones featuring Minty, Pinkie Pie or Thistle Whistle.

I think the original sitting pose is much better then the G4 and G5 sitting pose.

I am so far not a huge fan of gen 5.

[BlackCurtains]

G1 prices are too dang high!

...that might not be an unpopular opinion.

[invaderhorizongreen]

Way too high for my taste I want the market to crash.

Re the cartoons: I definitely liked the G3 cartoons the best.  Please don't get me wrong, I love G1 and have nostalgia and sentiment for it, but... I don't think I ever got that emotionally involved in it, like had tears in my eyes during it, like I did G3 (and yes, G4, but please don't take this the wrong way.)

I'm not saying being emotional is the be all and end all with shows, but I'm not really sure I got that with G1, however much I loved it - though I still gave some sympathetic "awww"s to the characters, but with G3 and some of G4, I end up getting fully emotional, whether it was feeling sad for the characters, or simply having tears in my eyes for beautiful moments.

I wouldn't be surprised that, if I thought about it, I would find scenes like this for the G1 cartoons too, because I love them, and I have nostalgia for them, and they are just as important to me as the other generations, but I remember the emotion I got for the G3 and G4 cartoons first, but either way, that doesn't make G1 any less awesome.

Totally not unpopular. But I echo your sentiment.

Not unpopular if you have a lot of ponies to unload! It's a great time to be getting OUT of pony collecting, haha! For the rest of us ... not so much.

I've been trying to keep my focus on restoring what I have, but ooh it's hard!

Not sure if this is unpopular,  but the Zipp Storm hair-do is both fugly and ridiculous looking.

I do not like the new generation of ponies. I have been disappointed in all of the recent generations. I haven't collected ponies since gen3.

[Itcheeee]

I'm both disappointed and interested in G5. I won't be buying any of the merch or watching it. It's just everything I don't like in a nutshell, I don't like 3D things at all especially when they look so Disney. I'm taking the time to focus on collecting and re-watching/reading all G1 through G4 have to offer. Truly makes me miss G3 honestly.

[Leave a Whisper]

I miss when G3 was in stores too.

I must admit, G5 is disappointing me, as well. I think Hasbro is forgetting about what makes MLP such a core evergreen toy brand and trying to make the toys fit content too much (which I didn't think could happen/I didn't think I would dislike). The core pony characters with no rooted hair really did it for me. Not gonna lie, I was a little mad. Why remove brushable hair?? This was SUCH a core play pattern in the toys which made MLP so great. Understanding that its more expensive to make a toy now than it was in 2003, but geez, we can really tell where the budget is going.
I do wish MLP would take their learnings from how successful G1 & G3 was. I SO miss G3, there was a charm about it that just didn't need all the extra content, and when it did have content, it was just the right amount, that it still lead to open-ended, imaginative play that you can continue with the ponies. Also variety is a big selling point for me too, but that might just be because I love collecting cute things

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
