Rarity Paige Belle 1,854 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Who here liked/loved MLP before FiM? As you all know, I have a soft spot for G1, being as it was virtually the first cartoon I watched, thanks to my sisters! I even think G3.5 is not as bad as a lot of you make out! 5 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want? (Thanks Kyoshi for letting everyone use your sigs!)

Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I wish I could say I was a pre-Brony, but alas I was not. I did see some G1 stuff before Friendship is Magic existed when I was a kid, but it was just another cartoon to me. I can thank you and Evil Dragon Master for making a G1 fan though. Thanks a bundle! As for G 3.5... I've never actually watched it or given it a chance, so I haven't jumped on any hate or love wagons yet. I'd have to suck it up and watch it to know the truth. 1 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kurtis 636 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I loved MLP before FIM. In fact, I still believe G1 is a tad better than G4. I also know someone else who was a brony before it was cool... :comeatus: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a chance, try and get a hold of a G1 comic. The stories in there were dark! Especially the one where Applejack saves the crystal ponies. There's stuff in there that would NEVER get into the franchise today! 2 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want? (Thanks Kyoshi for letting everyone use your sigs!)

Fleur De Lis 108 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 While I wasn't a brony before it was cool, I did check out G3.5. (Sort of on-topic, I guess? ) It isn't as bad as it is hilarious. It's hilarious when it shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, is that the comic where Applejack was down in that mine with the crystal ponies and she helped them escape that wizard? Because I did read "A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies" and while I understood most of the references to G1, that whole part about the crystal ponies being forced to mine and them losing their eyesight and then receiving crystal gems for eyes so they could see again totally caught me off guard. I wasn't sure if that came from the show or what. 1 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'aiq the Liar 5,804 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Sadly I was never a fan of the previous generations. What really caught my eye and got me to look into mlp is gen4s aesthetic. The ponies look a lot more "my little" pony, and their human like faces and body language activate those old biological protection mechanism to protect anything with a big eyes and a off head to body ratio (the same mechanism that instincts us to protect human children.) But one of these day's I'll go torrent some gen1 stuff and see how it is. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Bliss 1,674 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Yup first pony movie I saw was Firefly's Big Adventure or the other title some might know as "Escape from Midnight Castle" along with several others like MLP Attack of the Smooze. I had hundreds of the orginal pony dolls that I sadly lost in a housefire, or sold in a garage sale or school sale. Ya it sucks... I wish I could have kept one of them. One of my favorites that I"m sure I could probably get was this one: But one of my favorites was a rare Fluttery Pony that I sadly can't find 1 I'm just a silly little alicorn, trying to get by in the fandom ^^ The Lightning Bliss Show Lightning Bliss DevianArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Thank you both for showing me that comic! Kind of creepy now that I see the original comic... I mean, the ponies got jewels in their eyes from the throne that allowed them to see after Applejack smashed the wizard's throne and killed him. G1 was about fifty times more hardcore than any other Gen. 2 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G1 was about fifty times more hardcore than any other Gen. Well, I'm not so sure that the crystals are IN their eyeball, I'm pretty sure the crystals are resting on the front of their eyeball like a contact lens.

(If that makes any sense) Perhaps, but because of that fanfic Rarity Paige Belle told me to read, I can't really imagine it any other way. Besides, wouldn't it be kind of hard for a throne to explode and then contact-sized crystals flew out and landed on the pony's eyes? I almost want to say it really is crystals embedded in their eyes. 1 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson Cross 7,532 August 26, 2014 Share August 26, 2014 Being a brony is cool? I'd like to know when this happened! I can't say that I'm keen on the previous generations though, but that's just my personal taste, I don't usually watch many cartoons. Now with more added tea leaves!

RDashFan85 46 August 26, 2014 Share August 26, 2014 I was never a brony back in the 90s. Because watch those generations was a embarrassment for me. Such horrible memories of those shows. I hated them but watched them anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDashFan85 46 August 26, 2014 Share August 26, 2014 I had no choice to watch my little tales because my brother always used the computer at that time do it was that or go bored. So I had to suffer through 26 painful episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
