SpoilerGalaxy isn't in the movie - her first appearance in the show is in "The End of Flutter Valley",l as an animation error, then her proper debut is in "The Ghost of Paradise Estate".Personally I don't mind a bit of reinterpretation re: who was around for what events, etc, since the series was always a bit of a "revolving door of ponies" anyway (complete cast changeovers between RaMC and Catrina, and then again for the Movie; SS Twilight/Locket/FT babies just appearing out of nowhere), but yeah having Galaxy specifically be the main pony for this sort of thing is a weird choice, going off you guys' posts (haven't read the issue myself yet). The G4 speak annoys me since (aside from the fact that I've always hated "everypony" etc anyway, it just sounds so stupid and forced... and, you know, G1 ponies didn't talk like that) - lack of differentiation between the casts!! when you have two distinct cast groups like this meet (esp. in a crossover situation, which this ostensibly is...), you want to really push the differences between the two, emphasize "these are different ponies from a different place (and time? idk)". If they all use the exact same expressions, speech patterns, etc then there's not much left to distinguish between the G4 gang and the G1 ponies, right?

This issue is where I HATE their talk because the writer threw in Grackle saying "They're fighting like they're on Real Horsewives: Equestria!" G4 doesn't have tv/tv shows right?? Just UGHHH. (I forget I guess they can view what's going on?? but that point is so unclear! I looked thru the other issues again and it just seems that they can suddenly view what's going on in Ponyville... I give up o.O )Just so tired of their 'modern' talk, THEY LIVE IN A VOLCANO. And how they never want to leave it, I know they 'can't use magic out of the volcano" but with how it's all going, they seem to not be able to LEAVE it by normal means?? So confusing!Some deep dive details that bugs me?SpoilerSome random light bulb shows up for a moment, "Great Question!", in this issue when they get back to the daughters for that rage inducing "Horsewives" BS...I guess the locket is GOLD now...Somehow Rosedust knows how the Locket works... and why only one Flutter pony... but they probably won't use Utter Flutter cause "OMG G4 ADDED RAINBOW POWER" to Rainbow of Light. WHICH them showing how the Rainbow of Light works after the locket is opened is TERRIBLE! CONFUSING! TERRIBLE CONFUSING MESS! because if you hadn't watched the original special, when the Rainbow soaked up the Darkness, then started working. That kinda happens but so vague I was confused what I was seeing (only look if you don't mind being spoiled with visuals)Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThen a stupid segment with Opal, I just hate it cause it was suddenly thrown in for North Star to say ONE thing for Twilight to remember something. Also it bugged me cause they spent a slow time getting to issue 4 then now they have to rush everything in last minute OOHHHH THE BIGGEST ANGRY EYE ROLL I just remembered...GRR!! Pinkie Pie showing off the store to get a 'pen and a couch' so they made the G1's have a STORE and naming it something to fit in the 80's... UGH!!(only look if you don't mind being spoiled with visuals)Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThat's just the huge things that upset me So much UGH all around for me The only thing that G3 ever angered me was a part in the Minty's Christmas special. SANTA CLAUSE. because he was shown as human but they all knew him when they didn't know unicorns and pegsasi But yeah, now I don't care much cause I enjoy the music CD I also feel that they could just take out the G1's and it's G4 and they just found a weird artifact and some girls got stuck in a volcano could be just like the sirens, banished from ponies into humans.
Honestly, that was the impression I got, too. Like they just went "this is how people talked Back In The Day, right????" and called it a day.

I looked up the writer and found their twitter and apparently they are 41. She said that issue 4, "It's truly my favorite issue!"

THey'd actually have GROWN UP with G1.That doesn't mean they were familiar with the media. It could be a situation like Lauren Faust where she pretty much made up her own personalities and storylines for the ponies they played with.
