Title: another G1 character in FiM *Spoilers*
Post by: Firehooves on January 19, 2012, 06:34:18 PM
If you've seen the prieview clip from the upcoming ep 'the last roundup', Cherries Jubliee is set to appear in FiM. this should be interesting.
 
(Changing this because I came off as a bit too harsh)

Meh, no big deal. I just see it as a fun throwback to the past of MLP-- an homage, perhaps.

Lickety Split was in a FiM episode?

The new G4 fans have to understand there has been generations of ponies, all with similar looks and names, not just G4's. The G4 line did not start with G4's, and alot are loosly (or not so loosly) based on original pony characters, even original pony names :) I would have a hard time with replying professionally to those sorts of emails, I would prefer to tell the people sending them to do some research into pony history and suck it up lol.

Yeah, there have been quite a few dopplegangers from previous gens in FiM.

This should be nice. It's disappointing, sometimes, how much they change them, but... I guess you can't stop them. I was a bit put off when I saw the male Lickety Split, but I'm really happy with Applejack and the rest of the G1 ponies.

Mess...her...up? It's their character, can't they technically do whatever they want with her?

Yes, it's thier character, and I know the FiM writers are amazing, and they will do the character justice, but I'm just a bit nervous after the male lickety split. :/

Fair enough...I just wasn't alive during G1 so I don't quite understand. Sorry. :l

They need Mimic! But I love CherriesJubilee, so I'm happy. ^^

Mimc would be good, especaily with the golden horseshoes that have all those powers!

If you are upset about having to explain to people constantly, why not put some sort of disclaimer at the beginning of your fic explaining who the characters are based on?   I don't read fics, so I don't know if that is possible or not, but if it is it could maybe help.

I actually love seeing old characters pop up.  To me it's a nice nod to the fact that quite a few of the parents of the target audience (little girls) would have grown up with ponies as well.  It's not just bringing pony gens together, it's bringing together two different generations of people as well  :)

Ooh, I wonder what she will look like? I will have to see the preview, then. ^_^

I love when they pay homage to older generations! I've ALWAYS thought cherries Jubilee was a perfect pony name! I am excited to see her!

I remember there being a pink background pony with a yellow mane/tail and a cherry cutie mark appearing every so often, so I think they did slip her in before this upcoming episode. But this definitely makes it official, being identified by name! :) I'm glad they put her in; Cherries Jubilee was one of my precious ponies as a child, and I'm excited to see her revamped.

Yeah! Even if they change her, I am happy with the seeming little nod to earlier gens...makes the whole thing a little cuter!
