Then all the way back Gen 1 Eh, close enough.

LOLWUT, Looks shitty. But still funny

4.5 isn’t 3.5.  
4.5 seems interesting, TBH. Good artstyle borrowed from Littlest Pet Shop World of Our Own, which people liked, it just didnt sell toys.  
Writers from EQG, the original show, Rick and Morty, and Parks and Rec, and Celestia seems to be in a important role as the source of mysterious potions.  
People can shit on it, just like they did with FiM, Princess Twilight, Starlight Glimmer, the Student 6, EQG, etc…  
And they will be wrong, again.

Trust me 3.5 is worst and it seems lik they’re doing an official 4.5 with POny Life… ugh

G3! My eyes! Heart attack! cue big time rush faint

@GlacierFrostclaw  
Yup. We have always had some risk of MLP getting bad. Heck, season 6 had me worried lol.  
But thankfully, we dont seem to have any red flags about having poor-quality content ahead.

@AspectofBlood21  
not in the near future, at least.

@GlacierFrostclaw  
Okay, very true. There is a really good quote from the director of Dragon Ball Evolution about that, actually.  
However, the crew that did Rainbow Roadtrip is the crew that is working on the 2021 movie, and likely whatever else MLP has in store for us. Given the quality of RR, I am not really as worried about things going back to a pony dark age.

@AspectofBlood21  
actually it could EASILY get that bad again. All it takes is truly incompetent writers with a lack of care in what they’re making.

@AH96  
More of a running joke at this point. Pretty clear Mlp will never be that bad again.

@ILoveTheTalkingClock  
It comes and goes.

Is G3 hate still even relevant? I thought that died off years ago..

THE GENESIS OF HORSE

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
 
If I’m remembering correctly, the final episode of the show takes place 20 years into the future, showing off how things have changed since Twilight became the ruler of Equestria, which explains the differences in appearances.

Alternately:  
“No, even further back”

@GlacierFrostclaw  
I was gonna say, “where it all began” was a good 25 years before this!

@Background Pony #C994  
… ok and?

I seen this episode a week ago

That had better be a 50 years later shot and not a ”now they’re different because they got blasted by magic” change.

OMG this is so funny!

@Background Pony #09BA  
Wow really?

When I found fim for the first time I seriously though FiM was like first mlp ever

@Shelltoon  
Amen

@AspectofBlood21  
Yeah, I can definitely do without Twinkle Wish Adventure.

@GlacierFrostclaw  
Yeah, G1 was not bad. As long as we miss 3.5.
