Unpopular opinion time

@Buttlord Wayne
Capitalism!

@Twi Clown
That might have been good for the Storm king’s army, to make things a bit neater.

@Twi Clown
A golem would be pretty cool, the show did have fun with its monsters

Fandom feels super dead. Then again I haven’t paid much attention since just before the end of FiM.

@Mr.Myoozik
I have a liking for non-organic fictional living characters.

Since I know the show was still quite heavy into magical fantasy, Golems seems like a nice compromise for robot and android equivalents.

Not sure if it would have helped the Storm King tho (or at least, not enough to make him any more plausible as a threat than he was canonically).

Do you like fishsticks?

Not dead, just going at a sustainable pace (which it’s been trending to ever since the heyday of 2013 or so)

@Twi Clown
So basically, automatons if we’re going by the late 19th/early 20th century setting the show had

@Mr.Myoozik
That reminds of the Syberia point and click game I played as a kid.

Though I guess the question with an inanimate is whether to make it function by special kind of magic or tech.

You know, I think “mlp characters as extra natural humans” is while unpopular but also overhated?

@TheQuietMan
What does it mean as extra natural humans?

@TheQuietMan
Are you refereing to the theory ponies are actually mutant humans after an apocolypse?

Since we are in the middle of Rainbow Rocks’ anniversary.

I dunno why, but I have an unexplainable preference for Aria Blaze compared to Sonata. I guess I just like her grumpiness or something.

The art where MLP characters aren’t just humanized skin colour wise but they also ditched their signature hair colour for something down to real life earth.

@TheQuietMan
Oh I understand now.

I will be honest I’m more on the colored hair side since I think it gives them their own colorful personality.

But I can see there’s an appeal to seeing a fantastical character look similar to you and me.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I think those kinds are unpopular on the basis that you can’t recognise them unless the artist themselves told you. They are first and foremost to be quickly in negative score.

@TheQuietMan
I see what you mean, humanizations like that are unpopular and unfairly get downvoted even though the actual art quality itself is good

Sometimes I wonder if Twist and Applebloom could have made for a good duo instead of Sweetie and Scootaloo. It could give some hilarious contrasts.

90% of the time whenever I had headcanons or “mental fanfics” in my head, I noted I rarely utilized the canon rogue gallery and instead I tended to create villains on my own.

Many times the villains are interesting hooks towards a show, movie, game or literature, but I noted I don’t feel the same towards MLP. Most of the time I find the heroes either cooler or more tolerable over the villains, some villains are cool and others are simply meh to me but I rarely feel a “oh he’s really cool” towards most of them.

I feel like the fandom likes to “emasculate” Shining Armor a lot when it comes to porn

You sure it’s not the opposite?

@Twi Clown
Liking heroes is very natural.

@TheQuietMan
Its more like most of the MLP villains are characters I never fully connected. I can see most of them are threats but I dunno, I have that odd feeling of “I’d rather do this”.

Technically an old discussion but I will quote that guy:
”FIM was especially quite insensitive to introverted people, almost treating them like a disease that needed to be “helped.” I get the overall theme is friendship, but come on. You can’t force friendship on people like that. “Amending Fences” was the most egregious in that regard. I liked the episode, sure, but I definitely felt patronized by this over insistence on making Moon Dancer a “normal pony.” Fortunately, G5 and Make Your Mark fixed that and then some by actually treating Misty with respect and teaching healthy lessons to kids on how it’s okay to be shy and not want to hang out with the crowd if you’re not comfortable. You’re absolutely not wrong for preferring to do different things than others. It’s one of the many reasons I feel that G5 is superior thematically.“

Basically G5 is superior because it’s more culturally sensitive? I didn’t enjoy g4 because it was culturally insensitive. I like it for the unhinged fun. Which is also the reason many fans turned their backs. Maybe they should watch some Weird Al.

This type of comment is very hypocritical, basically comparing the two generations is only wrong if it is to criticize the G5 but if it is to speak well we can put the G4 down.

and most importantly, comparing the two generations not works so well, as the structure of G4 and G5 are very different, like comparing the Powerpuff Girls with Avatar: The Last Airbender.
