I’m just going off on why I think the fans aren’t keen on the idea. I mean more so the fantasy aspects specifically from g4, g4 is fantasy but not in the same way as g1 which had more swords and sorcery elements (as silly as that sounds) as let’s be honest g4 is basically a talking animal cartoon not to different from any other “furry” piece of media where humans have basically been replaced by animals and as such I think most fans don’t think humans lend themselves to well into fims world unless you say replace Twilight with a Megan like isekai fish out of water protagonist which ok that could work but I don’t really think such a character is really necessary and it would just be a repeat of G1. I suppose the one niche humans could fill in the world without pissing off too many people is MAYBE having them be very technologically advanced to offset the magical horses as generic as it sounds (it would probably just boil down into another message about environmentalism straight out of the 90s) but other then that I guess most fans don’t see much of a point to having them since ponies act like humans as it is or maybe it’s the lore fanatics that take the shoe way too seriously who hate the idea for some reason, although I wouldn’t be completely opposed to having someone like Megan appear. This mainly applies to g4 but why people hate them in g1 I have no idea frankly
Spike is the mandatory boy deuteragonist character in a girls cartoon similar to how every boys cartoon needs a girl character so little tommy doesn’t feel to weird watching the show with his sister, sure people see him and basically every other male character (flash sentry) as such but I don’t think that was their intention
