* AudienceAlienatingPremise: This is the reason the show flopped. Fans of the usually fantasy-themed My Little Pony franchise found the slice-of-life elements dull and cliché; while most SliceOfLife fans couldn't get beyond the fact that the cast is all brightly-colored talking ponies. It's still a controversial topic in the MLP fandom decades later.
Added DiffLines:
* BrokenBase: Many fans who loved the previous fantasy good-versus-evil themed episodes of ''My Little Pony and Friends'' cried out TheyChangedItNowItSucks; there's also the AnthropomorphicShift. Other fans however were indifferent and there are a few who liked it, aside from drawing fans of SliceOfLife programming to the franchise.
* CommonKnowledge: No, ''Tales'' is not part of ''My Little Pony'''s Generation 2. It is part of Generation 1, albeit taking place in a different continuity than the one that started with ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials''.

* FandomRivalry: Within the same franchise, to boot. As noted above, this incarnation of MLP draws ire from some fans of the previous ''And Friends'' incarnation. Aside from that, fans of ''Tales'' are also locked in a cold war with certain ''brony'' sects (to be specific, the rabid ones who enjoy dissing anything not [=FiM=]). The latest shot fired by said bronies was taking pot-shots at the series' long-awaited DVD release in the reviews at Amazon. This was seen by many ''Tales'' fans as a particularly low blow.

** [[https://www.derpibooru.org/images/1038218 This edit]] where Starlight is skating with Ace, the ice breaks, and Starlight falls into a fiery pit, is often used as a joking example on how dark G1 MLP was, along with the aforementioned volcano scene.
