Description

I think I’ve tagged all characters, could someone double-check my work please…
 
So yeah, expanding brain meme applied to all the Gens of My Little Pony. Seriously, not the joke variant where the dumbest response gets the biggest brain.
 
Pictures used are all screenshots, I believe.

Oh I can respect an entirely slice-of-life setting as well, it’s just not what I think of when I think of MLP. :)
 
Yeah, the marketing during that series would’ve been a bit over all the place, trying to advertise characters in this very much more normal world to little girls who were used to the fantasy of the earlier stories.
 
(although actually Tales was late G1 - G2 ponies had a rather different style that was never used on-screen, but did get some dolls and a videogame)

Wellll…and I know this is just my opinion, but as I made this meme based on my opinions, I’ll explain:
 
I made my rankings based on taste, and my taste leans towards the more magical, adventurous MLP stories. While I did really enjoy MLP Tales, it was a fun series with some great stories, it was 100% slice-of-life (or maybe 99.9% lol) and, well…no adventure or magic.
 
Tbh I wanted to put Tales in a tie with Twinkle Wish Adventure, but that would’ve just made it messy. xD

Lyra Heartstrings is a big fan of G1, since it has humans,  
so she expanded the last panel, in the human art style. (Plot-twist)

As much as I enjoyed MLP Tales, it was basically normal world type stories, but with the characters all drawn as ponies. The whole series was “slice of life” which isn’t bad in moderation, but it just didn’t really grip because of it. G3 and G3.5 at least reintroduced the fantasy elements to the franchise. :)

No, the last one is the classic G1 My Little Pony, they were more pony-like in behaviour and had much neater on-screen designs, and the stories were magical fantasy. The second one is My Little Pony Tales, the characters were more human-like in action (using front legs/hooves as arms/hands, living in a human-like society) and there was no magic at all in these stories. You could basically swap the ponies out for human characters without affecting the story at all.
