History YMMV / FillyFuntasia

** With the show finally premiering in March 2019, right on the cusp on the announcement of '' My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic's'' ninth and ''final'' season. Fans have noticed the coincidence, with some going so far to say the long delay was all [[MagnificentBastard a calculated attempt]] on part of the producers for ''Filly Funtasia'' to finally step in while ''Friendship Is Magic'' retires.

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: The show has ''[[SavedFromDevelopmentHell finally]]'' premiered!

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The general reaction by the brony fandom ([[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 which is]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard not unusual]]).

** With ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', mostly ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'', though many fans of that are also into ''FillyFuntasia''. Before it had its own TV show, the Filly line was/is generally not well regarded among MLP toy collectors.
** In October 2014, BRB Internacional released a Filly teaser trailer to Filly fansite ''Funtasia Daily''. ''Website/EquestriaDaily'' got a hold of the trailer, and the Bronies were ''not'' amused. Safe to say this is a rivalry that is getting started.

* AwesomeArt: The show looks [[http://www.funtasiadaily.com/2015/07/filly-funtasia-early-development_7.html#idc-container absolutely]] [[http://www.funtasiadaily.com/2015/03/filly-funtasia-scenery-concept-art_9.html gorgeous]].
* FandomRivalry: With ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', mostly ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'', though many fans of that are also into ''FillyFuntasia''. Before it had its own TV show, the Filly line was/is generally not well regarded among MLP toy collectors.

* FollowTheLeader: The show and toyline in general bears more than a passing resemblance to the Franchise/MyLittlePony franchise.[[note]][[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]] incarnation notwithstanding.[[/note]] This trope is strong enough that there's a long-lasting (but ultimately false) rumor that Filly began life from stolen G3 My Little Pony molds (or at least, knockoff molds).

* {{Moe}}: Battiwigs looks ''adorable''.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Rather literally; the toyline is massively popular in Germany and other German-speaking countries. In fact, there's a general misunderstanding that a German toy company (Simba) created and owned the brand, when they were only licensed to distribute it until that deal fell through.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Some people, like [[Creator/StuartAshen Dr. Ashen]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FeooR0Kz4U here]], think the Filly toyline was created as a direct response to the success of ''Friendship is Magic'', when it predates that show by four years.[[note]]As does the Franchise/MyLittlePony franchise in general.[[/note]]

* FandomRivalry: With ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', mostly ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'', though many fans of that are also into ''FillyFuntasia''. Back when it was just a toy line fans thought of it as a cheap ripoff barely above "fakies" but now that it has a cartoon too.

** To be fair, he didn't specifically say "''Friendship is Magic''", at which point he would be correct that ''Filly'' is merely a cash-in on the success of ''MLP'' in general. That said, it's clear by the context that the comment was referring to the present iteration of the franchise due to the wide, all-ages appeal it has.
