Hello! I have been following your posts for the past hours, and have come to the conclusion you do not deserve to have Minty on your hard drive. She is my comfort character and seeing her in an environment not meant for her brings me anxiety, so I will be expecting a reply to this post when you have him in boxes and ready to relinquish him to someone who will treasure her like she deserves.

I read that as untrimmed

>>42348827
Old gens don't have any snowpity. Maybe rottenpity.

That's called Snowpity.

>>42349719
Gen 3 literally wrote the book on cheery ponies. Much of the headcanon of a perfect Equestria with happy and kind ponies comes from G3, because that's what everyone had in head when G4 hit.

Don't believe me? Rewatch G4. You think you'll see snowpity but on rewatch you see them acting like asses to one another, losing patience, being angry often. There are scenes of them ripping each other off, etc. Their attractiveness over G3 is physical. But there was a severe lack of snowpity. So much so it gets assigned to background ponies, you'll notice. Snowpity in g4 was always us projecting G3 ideas into G4.

Need further proof? Finale-fags use the lack of perfection in Equestria to argue that snowpitiless finale is canon. They cite ponies being harsh and come with examples.

We created "Equestria" in fanfictions, because of all the preconceived notions. The real snowpity was G3 all along.

The perfect Equestria would be G3 characterization in G4s world with G4 models. Fite me.

>>42349769
>The perfect Equestria would be G3 characterization in G4s world with G4 models. Fite me.

I'll fite.
G3 world. G4 models. G3 snowpity.

G3s world has no faggots like Discord fucking your day up with his asshole presence.

Imagine being this fucking based.

>>42349862
It's true though. Look at Kinderquestria. Bears no resemblance AT ALL to g4. But those ideas came from the childish notions that the "MLP" brand had going into G4. You didn't have to be a G3 fan. It was the cultural knowledge that MLP was cutesy and for little girls.

Just look at all the people who tried to differentiate G4 by saying how mature it was and based for laser fights.

Snowpity peaked in G3. Period.

>>42349862
Not at based as having that .gif

I adore that one so much.

>>42349877
I agree 100%. The thing about the laser fights also literally killed the show. I think that stupid Tirek fight was the final straw for the show.

I do think there’s an argument to be made that even peak G4 was a little too embarrassed about itself. There’s literally nothing wrong with being a cutesy girly show. At all. But at least in the early days it still tried to be a girls’ show. The insecurity of the adult fans, latching onto whatever bullshit they could say is “cool” in the show is what killed it. The writers tried so desperately to appeal to those fucking losers.

What I always liked about MLP was based on an idea about what it was that can be seen nowhere better than G3. I only discovered a little less than a year ago how truly amazing G3 was. I had an intention to go and watch the older generations, but G1 didn’t do much for me and Tales was only okay. Once I finally saw G3, though, I instantly fell in love!

The first thing I ever saw from MLP was an upload of “Winter Wrap Up” from YouTube. I always wanted the show to have that level of snowpity throughout it. I distinctly remember feeling like even some classic episodes have unnecessary conflict. I just want a warm, comforting show that reminds you of how the world should be. G3 is that 100%! Saying peak snowpity is putting it too mildly. It’s so amazing!!!

>>42349769
The gripe with FIM is that it is often being said that the Mane 6 are the bestest of friends in all of Equestria, but then they almost never do anything friends do on-screen or very sparcely. Like, yeah, you got some obligatory picnic scenes here and there, but they get completely overshadowed by a good amount of episodes revolving around interpersonal conflict and bitching or them tard-wrangling each other. There are just not many plots revolving about the Mane 6 trying to do something nice for each other. There's like Party of One, the B Plot of Wonderbolts Academy, Castle Sweet Castle, maybe Fluttershy Leans In where the plot revolves around them trying to do something nice for each other, but most of the times they are more like colleagues who happen to hang out with and like each other. Whereas in G3 you have a whole plot revolving around the ponies of Ponyville painting the whole town pink for a birthday surprise for Pinkie. Yeah, in something like for exmple Pinkie Pride, there is also a huge birthday party, but the plot doesn't focus on it - the party doesn't matter, what matters is the conflict between Pinkie and Cheese.

>>42349883
Thanks! :D

>>42349915
To clarify, I meant the “Winter Wrap Up” song was the first thing I ever saw. Although the episode itself is still really amazing in the snowpity department, nothing beats that song in all of G4, I don’t think. G3 is like that throughout! I love it so much!!!

>>42349915
Is that you Cozybro... your writing style..

>>42349915
Yup. You even had faggots wanting mature themes. I recall many arguments where I had to say we don't want to turn our show into My Little Game of Thrones.

But there were "people' who thought that'd be based.

>>42349960
>tfw those faggots won
They got that finale

>>42349939
When G4 went comfy it was so nice. It faded away though. It became pop culture references, self aware cynicism, epic battles, and muh memes.

Some of the memes were fun but I'm actually glad G5 steered away from all that. Now if they could just make good pony models for G6

>>42349939
That is true. The show’s depiction of friendship was always pretty flawed. It can be hard to understand why the Mane Six even hang out with one another sometimes. And in real life, there are groups of “friends” who aren’t really friends at all. They’re just socially attached and can’t admit that it’s not working, so they just fuck up each other’s days, talk shit behind each other’s backs, and start pointless drama. For people like that, they’d actually be better off without their so-called friends. So I think seeing their real friendship in action would’ve improved the show a lot.

Of course, that’s not even to mention the incoherent definition of friendship from the super late seasons. One of the most off putting lines is Starlight telling Twilight that she’s “in charge of all the friendship in Equestria.” Friendship is something that we should all be very grateful isn’t controlled by a top-down authority figure. Such a creepy concept. I didn’t even realize that that’s what her title of Princess of Friendship meant. I thought it meant that she’d use all her powers to encourage friendships, not to rule over them.

But that’s an aside because obviously the show was insanely bad by that point. I agree that even in the best episodes they don’t depict friendship the best. I think they were too afraid of being perceived as doing a baby show and focused far too heavily on the idea that there needs to be a conflict to resolve the whole time.

>>42349951
It is. :P

>>42349960
Yeah, absolute cringe.

>>42349973
Yup. I’ve never seen a show forget what it was supposed to be as hard as this one.

>>42349986
I agree with all of this. The pop culture references were some of the worst too. I personally don’t mind the early on ones that were legitimately just snuck in by the animators to make themselves laugh. But by the time we got to the Rick and Morty ponies taking up two-thirds of the damn screen, it was just like, “Who the hell wants to see this crap?”

>>42350006
Yup. Like any recipe, salt adds flavor but that doesn't mean you toss the entire shaker into your meal

>>42349915
>The writers tried so desperately to appeal to those fucking losers.
I don't actually think that this is the case for the most part considering FIM stayed a slice of life show for the whole runtime. Shadow Play, which is mostly a trainwreck, is the pinnacle of that, but I feel like both Season 8 and 9 try to distance themselves away much more from that le hidden maturity and edginess: The villains and the battles are again way more cartoony and ridiculous: Sombra is a cackling saturday-morning villain, Cozy Glow is completely over-the-top and brimming with charm - the Mane 6 fight the Legion of Doom not with brute force, but with animals, party cannons, lassos etc. They even defeated the Legion of Doom with a friendship rainbow laser, which was not a very liked mechanic among bronies. All those two-parters felt deliberately designed to not tap into the same trap as Shadow Play.

>>42350020
This is why s9 memefaic was so annoying. It just took something funny to level 11 and never turned the volume down

>>42350021
Stfu Josh your finale is shit

>>42350006
>Who the hell wants to see this crap?”
Not I. For me it was Rarity with her stereo doing the Better off Dead meme. It just was so stale by that point I'm like dude stop.

>>42350021
I don’t see what you’re talking about, because “Shadow Play” attempted to give a good lesson about listening to your friends, whereas Season 9 is just mean-spirited cruelty that denies that “bad” people even deserve to be treated like people. If’s really cruel and really gross. The fighting was less DBZ, I guess, but even with that said, we saw actual gore when Sombra’s fucking face was blown off. The animators were still being total edgelords for no reason other than “cool” points.

>>42350033
The Ending of the End is great actually. It is actually also filled with subtle references to past episodes.

>>42350053
Eat shit Josh

>>42350053
>subtle references to past episodes
It had to do something to identify itself as MLP because it would be unrecognizable otherwise

>>42350053
“Subtle references” like forgetting that a major plot point in Tirek’s first appearance was that he WAS able to absorb Discord’s magic and not even coming up with an excuse for why it’s different when stored in the bell.

>>42350052
The problem is that I don't care about Stygian so I don't care about his problems that he had with the Pillars, which we also hardly knew about. And if the rest of the episode is just completely contrived and boring and shit, then a good moral doesn't make it good all of a sudden.
>>42350066
Yeah, plotholes may happen. Bummer. I didn't know about that plothole until you mentioned it now.

Can't we talk about G3?
I'm not as "anti-newfag" as some here, but it's annoying not being able to have a thread about early generations without someone coming in and treating them like crap and comparing them to FiM
You can like all the generations for different reasons; not everything has to be a discussion regarding "it's shit because it's not FiM"
Let's just post cute retro ponies

>>42350132

Yes! Sorry that I contributed to getting off-topic.

I recently watched this fanfic dub and at first I thought it was going to be the usual grimdark cringe, but once I realised what the fanfic was about I just died with second-hand embarrassment, lol, like HOLY FUCK I can't imagine someone actually having written this

"YOU MUST SHINE" is a great one!

>>42349769
>but on rewatch you see them acting like asses to one another, losing patience, being angry often.
That's what makes them relatable and a little "human like" without being too human. A major part of G4's appeal is that the characters are flawed and that the world they live is does come with risks and uncertainty but not to the point of being excessive.

>>42349915
>laser fights also literally killed the show
peak shit taste. I'm not even a fightfag/dbzfag but the fights were fucking kino and the animation peak.

>>42350006
>It is. :P
I knew it was you, you fucking faggot; I'll never trust another flaggot. I kinda want to watch G3 with you as long as you don't try any gay shit with me

Nah.

>I kinda want to watch G3 with you as long as you don't try any gay shit with me
That’d be fun. Are you going to Mare Fair?

I’m glad G3 has some representation on here, the 2008 revamp specials are so comfy I like them more than the G4 ones.

>>42350891
>Are you going to Mare Fair?
Yes. Also I find it weird how you're supposedly immensely socially awkward yet very eloquent when typing on here, also odd that you're comfortable with casual sex though I guess that's a fag thing. You're an odd chap but I do want to meet you

>>42350926
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing you!

So a world without Cozy then?

Where then any Gen3 Cons other than UK Ponycon?

it's hard to finish projects, but i always have plenty that i am meaning to finish. especially with chopslop, i always feel like i need to make visuals and have the release be this whole thing. regardless, my love of g3 has not gone away, and i do intend on releasing more songs.

What about G2?

You know just fidget with a brown shoe string. Don’t take it out.

>>42351916
Fun fact, I was originally going to use the adjective cozy, but I decided not to to avoid derailing the conversation. And yet here we are anyway, ironically enough.

But no, I disagree. I think Cozy Glow would be really happy in the world of G3.

>Also, the Youtooz Rarity plushie is releasing in FOUR days, we won, literally.
Oh shit, I want it!!!!!! How much is it gonna cost?!

It can have its own thread. I made one for it a few weeks ago, but it’s dead now.

That entire scene is magic. It's like they knew how to do fantasy. No memes. No pop culture references. Nothing forced. Just bright colors, beautiful animation, a sense of wonder, and escape.

Peak pony, right there.
