Knight Shade! It'd be interesting to see G4 do a whole take on the whole Knight Shade, Zeb, & Arabus storyline.
"Bright lights! How I love bright lights! Pretty to see. Shine one on me!" :biggrin:

In one of the episodes it says Firefly started the wonderbolts!

I love the G1 references in the comics. :lovey: I noticed the singers but I may have missed the name of the stadium before. Here's the most recent I've seen (from #40):

Do the moonwalk baby! Love when they put those references in!
Nice catches. :cool:

The G4 comics reference G1 quite a bit and I love it!

Oh my gosh, Minty!! And . . . other Minty! Man, this tells me I need to catch up on my G4 comics. I have a subscription through Comixology, but I'm just really lazy about actually logging in and reading.

omg I've never seen these before! MINTY!! It's really nice to see some G3 refs for once ^^ (now if only they could throw in some G2 refs... :p)
(also ooooh, Marian from the Flim/Flam story is next to Minty! Nice to see her again, I liked her.)

I've heard about all of the G1 references and things in the comics, but I am so far behind on them! I really need to get back to reading these... Also, yay, Snuzzle! :heart:

"Zacherle" Stadium.

It just makes me kinda sad, because the G1 ponies look awesome in that artwork, and yet they aren't ever going to ;exist'. Things like the megan book, though, that's funny!
Though I do kinda also wish G4 stopped piggybacking G1 stuff...

Zacherle stadium. Bonnie Zacherle created MLP.

These are why I wish the comic writers world for the show. Even if it was random g1s as background characters, it would make me happy. And then we might even get some toys out of it.
One of my favorites is the cover with Rarity wearing the "Great Skates" outfit.

Yeah. I would like to see an IDW comic series about the G1 ponies. Especially bring in ponies that didn't see much exposure in the television series.

Oh yeah, I agree. She was rockin' it too.

That's neat. I have the Knight Shade episode^^
-
I really have to catch up on the comics. I wait until the 4-in-1 volumes come out, but I'm still way behind. Now they have the bigger volumes, but I like the smaller volumes, it still feels like a comic book, but usually covers an entire arc.
-
That's so cool! Thanks for posting all of these. Now I feel like I might have to eventually start buying the comics.. :D

Would you really count this as piggybacking off of G1, though? If anything, they're just little shout outs that don't tend to have any bearing on the plot. Pretty harmless, if you ask me. ^^;
I also wish the comic writers and artists worked on the show. I've met a few of them and they're all very awesome people who clearly love what they do, and want both kids and adults to enjoy what they're putting out. Ever since the comics began, I've been enjoying them much more than the show itself. Even the mini series have been great!

I don't see the harm in it. Companies reference their other/older properties often, to give their fans a little thrill. Besides many older mlp fans do clamor for such things, nice to see it being acknowledged. Even if Hasbro is too scroogey to give us proper, quality retro releases like they do their other franchised fans. (cough cough Integrity Jem dolls/G1 TF throwbacks) Its really rather nice.

^This. I prefer the comics to the show. And while I know that might be a controversial opinion, I feel like the comics get more effort. I feel like all the little details are really nice, you know? Like they care about all the fans, not just one demographic or another. They're fun enough for kids, with lots of brony favourite characters, but with nostalgic easter eggs for older fans too.
