G4 has songs but they ration them out, so it doesn't take over the whole show all the time.

I just had this attitude to G1 in the 80's that it was for girls so I didn't watch it.

I actually like the aesthetic of the G1 ponies, myself. I've only seen Rescue at Midnight Castle, but I was surprised by how hardcore some of it got. The first thing Megan does upon arrival is try to Polish Hammer The Dragon and then the rainbow actually kills off the Big Bad.

The JPN fandom is playing this pony up as a double amputee

Where was that from? One of the fake injured ponies?

@Yeller: yeah, she's one of the ponies who shows up when Flim and Flam are hawking their new 'potion'. She's tagged "character:jinx" on Derpibooru at the moment.

Yeah but there were no actual screenshots tagged so it was hard to tell.

I immagine G1s got a lot more fans since FIW started.

Not sure about that, from what I've generally heard most just take it for a random Eldritch Abomination.

Also, the sheer number of people getting into MLP means that some will check out G1.

But then most of those some will react with a very ironic "What is this girly shit"

@Lumious But then again depends on the person watching it then the reactions will differ.

The only G1 I've seen is Baby IT's Cold Outside because I wanted to see the nazi penguis everyone kept talking about.

Story: Hehe, oh, yeah, forgot about that. I keep meaning to see it sometime.

I do recommend Rescue for sure, myself.

They aren't really nazis, just genocidal.

As one poster described it, G1 was hardcore despite the sacharine nature. It was described as quote the Disney Princesses vs Sunnydale.

Yeah other then the overall color scheme, being ponies, and a mostly female cast. There wasn't really much 'girly' about G1. Hell FIM tackles more 'girly' stuff then G1 did on the whole.

It's The weird, G2-ish (Yeah yeah I know toy wise it was still G1 but it was the show in between the G1 one everyone knows, and G3.) Where they were exactly like human in every way. Literally you turn them into human teenagers, and NOTHING changed. And G3... especially 3.5 that gave it most of the bad reputation for that.

Yeah, general consensus seems to be that G1 was okay, though a product of its time, G2 is obscure, G3 gets most of the flack, and we all know how G4 turned out.

Hurray, I voted today! I now have a right to complain about the provincial government.

Hopefully I won't want to, though.

I watched Rescue. I thought that it was pretty good, mostly. I just found the voice acting grating.

Not... really? There was a provincial election in Quebec today. So I voted.

I was taught that if you don't vote you don't really have a right to complain about what the government does, so... I can complain. but I'd prefer the government do well enough I don't want to.

[up] Of course, some people argue the opposite, in that since you're the one who caused the current state of affairs by voting, you don't get to complain because it's your fault.
