I like these ponies. I want to buy them. |

Am I the only one who think it's ironic that we like the flash-animated, simplistic ponies over the more detailed and slightly more horse-like ones? XD
I mean, yeah, FiM is obviously better for the billions of reasons we all talked about, (making the flash "work", getting the small details, story, characters, cuter look, etc) but I still think it's a little ironic xD |

The ponies that look more like real horses are actually really creepy, in a furry kind of way.
The new characters are much cuter, and more human-seeming. |

Better drawing doesn't make a good cartoon. The original series had terrible stories, the voice acting was atrocious and it's boring as hell. Basically it's a 100% corporate garbage driven by Hasbro's marketing department. |

Umm, wouldn't the more humanish (or should I say anthrotized) ones in FiM be more in line with furry. Being a furry myself, and knowing a fair bit about the fandom, FiM is closer to a "furryish" line then the earlier works. One just has to look at DA and FA to see that FIM has pretty much taken over (replaceing Sonic OC's by leaps and bounds). |

@Anon6: True, I agree whole-heartedly :3 I just hope companies understand that we like the show for the better story/voice acting/and a lot of the technical details, instead of "hurr flash is so awshum and simple-styles are so easy lets keep doing that lolololol" 'cause if so hnnnngh I would facepalm so hard ; A ;
@Anon5: good point xD |

They aren't creepy, though, at least. They seem less like animals and more like people (or maybe just aliens, who nobody ever seems to care about humans getting it on with in sci-fi, lol).
Old ponies were creepy. For whatever reason, the new ones aren't. |

Compare this promotional artwork with screencaps from actual G3 cartoons. They look like sh*t. At least FiM works fine with its flash simplicity. |

I think the appeal of the designs in FIM is just how CARTOONY it is.
I mean, who in the world wants to watch a cartoon with talking, realistic-looking animals!? Look at how they ruined the designs of Alvin & the Chipmunks in the 1980s revival (vs. the original 60s show) |

I actually liked how the Chipmunks looked in the 1980's/early 90's XD I honestly thought the 60's was goofy/weird looking, but maybe that's because I didn't grow up with them. |

The older ones are closer to real horse shapes, which makes the differences pop out that much more and plunges them into the Uncanny Valley. |

I think Lauren Faust had the exact same reaction Fluttershy has.
She made it clear in her writings that she hated the 1980s series and that when she was given the opportunity to do this show she did everything she can to distance it from the older cartoons. |

I don't think this is the 80s series anyways... I think this is one of those direct-to-video things that FiM was created to fix the damage from. |

^I can confirm that. |
