Pony Corral / Re: Unpopular Pony Opinions
« on: August 21, 2017, 03:46:10 PM »So I am unsure which bits of this are unpopular opinions, but this statement of Faust's (I'm copying from Wiki, if it's misquoted or misattributed then that's my disclaimer) about the original MLP animation being "endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying".like honestly i prefer teaparty and befriending villans then action and adventure like whats so wrong with teaparties
So the reason I have issues with this, aside the obvious fact anyone who's ever seen Rescue at Midnight Castle, Tambelon, Bright Lights, Somnambula, Revolt of Paradise Estate etc knows it's rubbish, is that in my opinion, that statement perfectly sums up FIM.
I am not even that big a fan of the old animated series. But I have become much more sympathetic to it since that, because as far as I'm concerned, Faust basically created a series that was everything she hated about G1 animation. And most of those reasons, especially the obsessive need to befriend everything, is why I couldn't ever get into FIM.
I don't remember a compulsive need for the old ponies to befriend every villain they met. I do remember North Star ringing a bell to consign one of them to a world of darkness though...
Given the size of the FIM fandom, it's clearly an unpopular opinion, so I am putting it here
and lauren needs to pick a side does she love g1 or not

Animation wise-G3.5 and G4 look alot alike, so people who hate one and praise the other, have a lot of nerve.omg finaly someone said it

I love the BBE babies. Moreso than the regular g1 babies.omg i thought i was the only one its so annoying how they got 3 different documentarys and we havent got one
I think super mint condition collections are boring. I prefer my ponies to be a little beat up, have some history and character!
That thick chunky coloured tinsel they used for the Butterfly Island g3s was really pretty.
I do like Mimic (green and parrots!!! my faves!!) but if anyone from that set deserves that amount of attention, it's Bright Eyes.
I prefer the g4.5 reboot ponies over the older g4s. By comparison, the older ones look droopy and dull and the reboot set look a little closer to what ponies should look like, imo.
I can't wait for g5 to pop up and flush out the last of the people latching onto the brony label and g4's popularity. I was still very much a child when the brony phenomenon started and was extremely hurt by feeling chased out of the community I grew up in because I was now seemingly in the minority and in the wrong for being a kid who liked kids toys. The last of my childhood was taken away from me for the comfort of adult men in a space that didn't belong to them and I can't wait for them to get a taste of their own medicine when g5 rolls around and children take up the majority of mlp fans again.
because im exausted from the shoutouts they get but we dont get much
