Being a Brony before it was cool!

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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:

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!

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.

Applejack saves the ponies from the mine in this comic --> http://heckyeahponyscans.tumblr.com/post/27216636085

If you were asking if that came from the show: no, it came from the comic.

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.

Yes, the part where Applejack saved the crystal ponies did come from the comics!post-24783-0-41732000-1402859341_thumb.jpg

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

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.

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.

Fifty? Let's say a thousand times.
