Should the creator of pony have a hoof in contributing?

Bonnie Zacherle, the one responsible of pitching the original pony to Hasbro. She's an illustrator, so she still could bring something to the table, if not scripts or storyboard direction. Would the fandom appreciate the creator of pony to have at least some direct involvement on the longest running and most sucessful pony reboot?

Should some sort of honor (like a Zacherlecorn 40th mlp Aniversarry Funko figure) or guest pony appearance in an episode be given to her?

How can you guys see Zacherle contributing?

a guest appearance would be precious!

how, though?

My personal headcanon would be that she (or her blrrowed power, n avatar form, rather, was that giant rainbow alicorn in RR), but her physical form exists in that ether plane Sunbutt and Luna can access, rather than in Equestria amongst the ponies, and always in super eye glow/avatar state, supporting the existance and monitoring all of the multidimentions

 

So maybe Twi could accidentally find herself in the ether plane and meet Zacherlecorn, for a super important task?

It never hurts to have the creator have a say in her own universe. To completely block her out would be egotistical and assuming that she has nothing to offer. Not every suggestion has to be taken, but she should be listened to, if only as a formality and courtesy. Things have changed a lot, but that doesn't mean she's obsolete. 

And yes, a guest appearance would seriously rock.  :love:

Since you bring it up, I'll venture to ask- sice LF is creator of G4, can you see her sharig episode spotlight with BZ? Or should the light just be on BZ, since she brought MlP as a whole into existance?

I could see her sharing a spotlight, sure. If they both had a pony cameo it would be the best!

Guest voice appearance ... sure. Anything involving creative direction, only if she possesses the skills related to that area specifically. The OP mentioned illustration and equated that to storyboarding. Not. The. Same.

 

Just because you can draw does not mean your skill is transferable to boarding.

i didn't say she was suited to storyboarding. I know they're not the same, and i can't see BZ doing that in the first place, because she's likely not qualified to.

Offering pony designs, voice acting, etc. things like that

This entirely depends on how in-touch she is with how MLP is nowadays. If she is still stuck with how it was when it started in Gen 1, then we could have a bad time. Not that gen 1 was bad or anything, but it WAS different to how it is now, so it would be rather conflicting in writing.

Well I am pretty sure that season 6 and the movie might be the last out of FIM as a television program, so I think at this point it would too late in the game for the original creator of the franchise to write for the show.

Maybe she get involved in a hypothetical G4.5 or G5.

i can't imagine she would be

She's been to g4 cons at least twice. She knows it's not the same as over 30 years ago

Ah, that makes sense then. I don't see why not then, giving her a shot at writing an episode for FiM. :) That could be a really interesting episode actually, since we could potentially a lot of references to gen 1 within it.

Perhaps letting a toy designer write a episode wouldn't be the best idea.

Nah, I think most of you guys confuse designer to writer :dash:. Still, it would be nice if FiM makes a tribute to her, like a ponysona or something, but I don;t think that'll happen. She and Hasbro parted ways long ago, in bad terms probably

how could you see the episode introducing them, in that case? How could they be utilized?

Have BZ be a pony designed in the old pre-G4 style, coming to Equestria from a distant pony realm and trying to unite the very different cultures of two very different kinds of ponies. A LF styled pony could be sent by Celestia as an ambassador to introduce the new visitor to Ponyville society and help them all to learn from each other. I'm sure Twilight would enjoy such an opportunity to study a new culture and the tantalizing differences that come with it.  :o
