The G3 ponies seemed like they were incapable of feeling negative emotions 99% of the time,
Honestly I like the G3 specials for being exactly what they are - cute little slice-of-life tales where the most hazardous thing in the entire environment is Minty.G4 and G1 may have the better stories but if I was a pony and had the chance to pick a generation to live in, I'd certainly pick G3. All the ice cream I can eat and none of the monsters to battle. The G4 slice of life episodes are the ones that hooked me in the first place. The action episodes feel rushed and tend to be solved by the Elements of Harmony (substitute Megan & the Rainbow of Light for G1). At least with G3 they didn't pretend to be something they weren't - they were just cute little ponies having fun.
Long ago, the tribes of My Little Pony lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when Hasbro attacked. Only Queen Majesty mastered all magic spells. Only she could stop the ruthless business men. But when the Dream Valley needed her most, she vanished. A thousand years passed and Lauren Faust and Studio B discovered the new princess, a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. And although her magic skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone. But I believe Twily can save the franchise.Soooorryyyy! I had to do it!
They definitely glossed over / over-simplified the most interesting aspects, IMO. Like you said, it was geared towards young children, but young kids can understand complex concepts.
Still love the G3 ponies. And their Spike was so much better than the G4 version (there, I said it).
