Bronies and G1 MLP

[Chishio Kunrin]

Wait, what's the difference between 3 and 3.5? Why isn't it just 3 and 4, MLPFIM being 5?

I could be wrong, but I think the only difference between 3 and 3.5 is that they shrank the characters down and made them fillies in 3.5. So, basically G3, but they're all fillies.

I was under the impression that G3.5 was with the fillies from G3 but they were grown up. I can be wrong too.

Really blurry quality, buuut...

*Vomits* Sorry about that.

G3.5 are the ugliest little beings ever. I like the G2 toys. I liked the old toys a lot but I hated the shows, and I love the new shows but I hate the toys.

There are some good G4 toys. I got some for me and my sister, and they're the cutest, and softest little things ever. They're little plushies.

*sigh* So much hatred. I don't hate any of them although I loved G4 "FiM" most of all.

[Ramisha]

I'm a wierd person. Either I like something or I hate it.....well I was a kid so I saw the cartoons and thought "wow this is stupid I HATE IT" 

[Renatan]

The only generations I actually hate are G2 and Newborn Cuties (OK, this one isn't really a proper generation, but it's still nightmare fuel)

I love G4, of course, and I grew up with G3 so I also love it (G3 NOT G3.5... I don't like the animation very much on that one  )

[Sunrise Starshine]

I voted based on perception, since I wouldn't call myself a brony (it's typically only used for male fans, right?) but I personally loved the G1 ponies when I was little! I didn't watch the show, I just collected and played with the toys. My favorites were the "older sister" type ponies whose proportions resembled the princesses of FIM.

Nowadays, "brony" tends to be used for any fan who's outside of the core target demographic of little girls. So it pretty much refers to all teenage and adult fans. Though, some people refer to the female bronies as pegasisters.

[GoldenTerrabyte]

Well, the main reason I like the show is for the art style, which is what I don't like about the others. And the older ones seemed more... it's hard to put into words, it's like, they simplify the situations in the show because they underestimate the target demographic's ability to understand the situations, whereas in FIM, they are fine with having complex situations that make a more full and interesting story, and they actually give the characters more understandable motives for their actions, whether good or bad.

The plot being more full and interesting from complex situations is often one of the very good results of producers letting the show's aim be for the entire family, rather than dumbing everything down for young children. Some of our favorite shows from the 1990s and early 2000s were more overall for the whole family, and that's why we loved them so much. They didn't restrain themselves as much as a lot of little kid shows do (or, as I used to call them, "baby shows").

The Internet has quite a few things about our old favorite cartoons that say things like "I never noticed that before!" Well, yeah, we only notice it now that we're older. People fear that putting jokes and references into a children's cartoon for teens and adults will do something bad to the children watching it, but in all actuality, it doesn't, as long as it's not blatant. Why? Because it goes right over the kid's head, more often than not. The kid doesn't notice or doesn't understand, but ignores it and moves on. That, or the child comes up with a rather innocent explanation, like I did with the mention of the electric chair in A Goofy Movie.

[GoldenTerrabyte]

And, the fact is, the kids are much smarter than the "baby show" creators think they are. The kids can understand much more than the creators think.

[Applestack]

Bronies are guys, pegasisters are girls? I think separating fans within a fandom by gender is stupid. We want equality.

[VioletKnight]

I voted "no" because I think G1 is alright, but I don't know if the majority of Bronies don't like it.

[dynamite]

Don't have an opinion on G1 because never watched much of it but can't stand watching it to see any further than one episode though.

[Applestack]

Only 20 votes? Come on, there's got to be more of you folks in here.

So I decided to perform iron pony challenge MLB suggested. It was huge challenge to find g2-3.5 stuff, but I've made it
There was something missing since g1, but they fixed it after some time.

All generations looks like they're linked somehow.
g3 and g3.5 is what happend g4 season 3 ending, for example (time can't be precised so it may be parallel as well)
we have Applejack and Spike in g1, but no towns and spike appeared later and is grown-up already so actionprobably happens during g4 season 1

I like the G1 MLP because it was surprisingly darker. A bucentaur using black magic to turn ponies into monsters. An evil spirit that feeds on shadows. Tambelon. And let's not forget the tree monsters of the Shadow Forest, Ug the giant spider and The Smooze - those things can kill!!
