ur correct!

even in filly funtasia! WOW!

Oh true but…details!

Btw in the G4 they were waaaay more realistic from this point of view. In fact they usually used their mouth and teeth, or magic if they’re unicorns, for lifting objects (at least in the most of cases).

G4 ponies have always exhibited a realistic horse-like behavior, even in their body movements. I always notice this fact, and I always loved it.

Oh…i love pipp so much but this phone thing is so strange!!

the powerpuff girls are the same in this

@Macaroni C-Pony
But magic explicitly didn’t exist at the time, so that stock rational doesn’t work. That and the noted extra effort they did to avoid this is why this otherwise nitpick is an issue.

Ponies nonrealistic colors I can rationalize as the same way birds have multiple colors.

Is it the fault of fans for having and maintaining unrealistic expectations for the series? Or the show for encouraging and pandering off those expectations?

FIM became as popular as it was because it took itself seriously enough that it was conducive to those expectations of realism. Starlight’s redemption is when it reached the limit of what it could successfully convey to that standard and the show has been divisive since. The Transformers crossover was well received because it started out by saying it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously canon-wise, so it is possible for the work to adjust fan expectations to match what it’s doing.

Don’t forget this one, lol!

It’s magic.

Why are the ponies blue, red, and purple?

Real Ponies only come in grey, brown, and white

Bronies will find just about anything to complain about. Even the most miniscule details that don’t even matter in the long run

Well, this maximised “hoofkinesis” is really upsetting
