This isn't trolling, this is just the Conflict of orginal MLP fans versus the new one.
Defender of the Holy Document VS Cult of the New type match up. Any communication between the 2 groups will sound like trolling. Can't be helped. |

Hehehe, they drew the G1 BETTER then the original, and the G4 worse...gee,that's not reflective of anything now is it? |

G1=Defender of the Holy Document
G4=Cult of the New so...what do we call the fans of G3? Or G2? |

fans of G2-3.5 we call the lost souls.
Either way, the defenders of the Holy Document are mostly in it for the nostalgia of the franchise, though ther eis something to be said about the adventure in the first special, though at the end of the day they have most their roots in the hardcore customization scene. Cult of the new don't necessarily hate the old ones, but they saw the tradeoff of adventure for characterization as more than fair. The flashbased animation style has some stigmas behind it, though it's mostly just because it is most immediately associated with utter crap, making the old school animation buffs rarely take a second glance at anything animated with flash and dismissing it wholesale. TL;DR: old: more established fanbase, "adventure" focused, sees new as lacking action and assumes flash anim and animesque designs = immature and lazy. new: more active fan base, "characterization" focused, sees old as shallow in hindsight with dated animation and designs OR sees the designs and animation too different to be fully compared, but either way finding the voice acting and characters lacking. |

I would be just as pissed if they made a series after this one. It's like the argument as to who is the best Doctor or who was the best Bond. You're gonna get behind the ones you fall in love with and see everything before/after as somehow lacking.
Doesn't stop this person from being wrong at her very core. |

It's the same reason people in their 30's complain that music was better back in 1980s even though back then all these nostalgic bands were considered as cheesy as Tokyo Hotel or Lady Gaga now. |

Metallica. Death. Ozzy. Van Halen. Pretty much ANY other good metal band. I'm so nostalgic for 80's music it hurts, and I was born in '94. |
| Heartmend #57480 1 year ago |
I'm 34, and I like G1 and G4 ponies. (G3.5 ponies live in Pony Hell.) And yes, I like 80s music (kinda hard not to), but seriously, there were some godawful songs in that decade--just like any other decade. :)
I think some people have a really, REALLY hard time adapting to change. :P |

Where's the fucking source so we can make the artist have a taste of FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE?! |
| Anonymous #57908 1 year ago |
So, I've heard retarded children can't adapt to changes in their environment.
Maybe the artist here is mentally unstable. So let's just the artist a bit alright? She's just not used to changes, that's all. |
| Anonymous #57930 1 year ago |
The artist cannot accept change in MLP.
Because the original was clearly perfect. Especially the flaws. Any variation is clearly an error. |

Actually, at mlparena G4 is quite popular, there's always a thread about every new episode. |

As I recall, the pilot movie was fairly nifty (and done by the same production company that did the D&D cartoon), but after that, the TV series almost immediately dropped into bland mediocrity (possibly due to executive meddling that didn't want a show quite that dark). |
| Anonymous #60755 1 year ago |
The TV series never got quite as dark as the pilot special, but it still had great moments (like the episodes "Crunch the Rockdog" or "The Return of Tambelon"). |

To be fair, you have to agree with her on one thing: those obligatory morals at the end of every episode are pretty annoying, it's like saying to kids "you are too dumb to learn the lesson from this episode so we need to clearly state it for you". |

| Anonymous #272596 1 year ago |
I want to raise a point. While there might have been slightly more "epic" adventures in G1, in G4, the character personalities and expressions are far more dynamic and enjoyable. Epic adventures can be thrown into the series ANY time, you can't fix a character's personality once it's already been badly established. |
