Reposting my thought on the selfie poster
Seeing characters you were being acustomed to for a decades, that live in a fairy tale-medieval-sortasteampunk setting suddenly ,by the virtue of timeskip (which is a justifiable excuse unless the unforgivable couldnt-care-less asspull that is the Mirror Dimension That Conveniently Led To An Urban Setting Similar To Monster High And Disfigure The Main Character To Badly Colored Barbies In the Process) acquire cellphones and make a selfie, that make you dimly aware that 10 years have passed. As i hope i established properly, i’m not bitter about that development, in my mind the justification to that state of being make sense for a narrative standpoint (seeing what Equestria look in the distant future ? Yeah why not, show me, i’m curious) , it really does but you know they did it to appeal to the “zoomers”. That too is justifiable from a marketing standpoint, of course Hasbro is going to cater to today’s kid ,if we feel left behind in my opinion it’s our “fault”, we’re getting old
And we feel that on the double since you know,we’re not the target audience
