Yes and no. The plotlines and such are original, but some of the pony designs (Mostly for background/minor characters) are taken form earlier generations. :x

Anywho, yeah, I wasn't a fan until FiM. Faust is the best at what she does. And what she does isn't very nice.
What? I think you may have misread something that I posted there. I was talking about how its been over a week since the last Pony Thread here on the Escapist.
Oh...yes...you're right. Sorry. It's really late here...I should probably be getting off to bed soon.

Again, sorry about that!

... "without having a pony DP" Forget what I'd set my Escapist DP to. Clearly, this goes deeper than I had thought. >_>

Where's the option for "I have vague memories of watching the original as a very small child, but didn't care about it beyond that until FiM came out?"

I'm counting just over a week this time. What do you guys think?

OT: I barely knew it existed before and I have come to dislike it quite a bit after. Not because of the show, but because of the rabid, insufferable, hardcore fans.
indeed. I can barely take two steps without stepping on a pony avatar.

They would of brought all the mane (hahaha) cast back from G1, but Hasbro only owned the rights to the show, Spike, and Apple Jack, not the rest of the ponies (I don't get it either). So Faust changed the names and some of the designs that she had been working on, kept the personalities she thought up the same.

After watching friendship is magic, I tried to watch the earlier show.

Trust me, the writing makes the difference between outstanding and... well... horrible. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZpurerF2HM]

No. All I had ever seen was commercials. I was bored stiff one day and after seeing so many avatars of the show I decided to watch an episode and I got hooked. Though.. The show IS making me consider buying a figure if they ever release one for applejack or pinkie pie.


Yes, I am a sad bastard, why do you ask?
I am really debating buying a figure for Kamen Rider Kiva. It costs $500. Yeah its insane. But the collectors price will make it jump eventually.

I watched an episode, I really don't see what the craze is about, besides it being a humongous meme and all.
Different strokes and all that.

The only exposure I had to MLP before FIM was via robot chicken's skit about the four ponies of the apocalypse.

Oh yeah, you're so sad and pathetic for enjoying things you enjoy.

Never watched My Little Pony until FIM was made. While I'm not a fanboy, the show is good fun.

I only saw maybe three episodes, and all I remember is that the tough boy pony (I think he was grey?) actually had a soft, kind side to him that only one of the girl ponies knew about. He wanted her to keep it secret. See, it was on the Disney channel when I was little. And back then, you had to pay to get the Disney channel, so we didn't get it. My friend did though, and every time I spent a Friday night there, Saturday morning his sisters would watch the show. They loved horses. I enjoyed it because it was on Disney channel, something we didn't get, so it was new and exciting to me. However, whether I actually enjoyed the show itself, I can't say. I have no real memories of it except what is stated above.
LOVE Friendship Is Magic though.

It was pretty awful before the current generation.

And by pretty awful, I mean extremely awful. As in, I want to destroy all evidence it ever existed awful.

From what I've heard the previous generations were brightly colored fluff, just designed to sucker kids into buying toys.
Needless to say, I got into it because of FiM.

The poll option for "Not untill Friendship is Magic did I take notice" is a bit poorly worded. I mean, I actually watched the movie way back as a child. It was awful. However, Friendship Is Magic is not. So I had taken notice before Faust picked up the show, but I didn't like it.

Meh, I just apathetic to it in general...most of the fans seem to like it ironically though so its always kinda turned me off to it.

Then again, I've only watched like five minutes of one episode, if someone could provide a link to a complete list of episodes I'd probably go check it out. (and yes, I am that lazy...).

Edit: I went and watched part of the first episode...the animation is actually quite good...

Yeah, I only like the pony's in the new My Little Pony. The show doesn't make me cringe at crappy acting and horrible scripts like most TV shows so I might as well enjoy it. Actually, some episodes I found really stupid.

Rarity FTW!!!
