The hiatus is already getting to me, so why not discuss something that's often overlooked here? I everything has to start somewhere, right? Love it, hate it, or don't care for it either way, at least it's something to talk about in this otherwise sea of shitposts.
G1 is definitely the next best gen, even if it is a fairly distant second. It was good for the time it was created and definitely had a lot of good ideas going for it, even if they weren't executed all that well. I also found myself genuinely liking a handful of the featured ponies and was hoping some of them would find their way into FiM in some shape or form. What it really had going for it was the villains as they actually do find their way back into the current continuity.
Anyway tl;dr it helped pave the way for the pone we enjoy today, take it for what it is.
I think if more people watched G1, G4 could be critiqued better

Different perspectives certainly do make for more thoroughly sstated opinions.
That and the fact that many people do not give g1 and badmouth it a chance is just the same case as with non-bronies, criticizing the show.
Enough talk post some pics you mongs (I'm on a phone)

Fine, have a Fizzy

What is the deal with her eyes? Is she supposed to be a crystal pony?
>>25625265
She's a Twinkle-Eyes pony. She literally has crystals for eyes.
>>25625894
That's some bullshit right there.
>>25626246
It would seem some context is needed.
I want to see G4 incorporate Twinkle Eyes into it's canon.
>>25626407
Is that the source of diamond dogs?
>>25626407
Fuck.
I am writing a fic about literal edge destroying your eyes.
>>25626407
Goddamn, Applejack!
>>25626977
ayy
>>25627842
I prefer twinkle-eyes over crystal ponies.
>>25626977
What the fuck? Is that supposed to be Rarity?
>>25628036
I wish there was a better artist doing that, but that's all I have for visual representation for G4 ponies with twinkle-eyes
>>25624600
>>25625894
Fizzy a good, but Wind Whistler a better.
>>25628941
I like both, but I'd give the top spot to Autistic dictionary pegasus.

Funny how the pegs seemed to have most of the intelligent ponies in their ranks in G1 (Wind Whistler, Paradise, North Star, etc) but then they seem to consist entirely of meatheads in G4.

Maybe Lauren thought that Pegasi have their heads up in the clouds.
>>25629655
That was certainly true for her personal favorite Firefly. Guess that became the archetype for all of them. The only reason Fluttershy sticks out is because she was originally supposed to be Posey.
>>25626977
Crystal Ponies are similar to that.
>>25629818
Twinkle Eye ponies only have gemstones for eyes though, they're normal ponies otherwise.
