Would you watch FiM if they had made alterations?

Such as if they had made Twilight Sparkle a goth (due to her color palette) and Fluttershy an anime otaku (due to that one scene displaying the anime characters in her cottage in "Scare Master")?

There was such a scene? I always wondered where people came up with that stuff

I would, goth Twilight sounds like an awesome idea

Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Dragonball, and Ranma 1/2

Alterations how? Do you mean these alterations would exist from the start of the show or happen later on? That kind of changes my answer, as if they suddenly decided to make Twilight a goth at some point I'd definitely not like it, and having Shy suddenly be an Otaku 5 seasons in would be weird.

 As for if they started the show like that, well I'd never want to trade the current Flutters or Twi for anything, especially since the Twi we got is my favorite character. But if the show had started from the beginning with a Goth Twilight and Otaku Shy, I might be saying the same thing if they were written well enough. So, I guess it depends, I'd totally have watched the show still if it was written well, I'd know no difference.

Only alteration I'd accept is one where Newbie Dash doesn't exist

The shoulder angel plot device would be useful for a visual representation of weighing both sides of moral choices. Also it would be neat to see little angel/devil versions of the characters.

If we started at episode one with Fluttershy bring shy, but the second somepony mentions anime, she goes full fangirl otaku, it might be very cute. If Twilight started as a goth from season one, episode one, I don't think I'd love her quite as much as I do now. Twilight's character seems to resonate with me. A drastic change such as that would weaken, or eliminate that resonance.

As long as the alterations don't completely change a character's core personality, I would be okay with the idea.

Honestly, I wouldn't watch the show if Fluttershy were an otaku. Those kind of characters are pretty much guaranteed to be extremely cringy.

I don't know, I think It would be cool if Twily was a goth, but at the same time I would miss her old character.

Well now, that wouldn't be Twilight at all. I'm not gonna say I wouldn't watch it, but it'd be a turn-off.

Well, that's just canon. I'm onboard with that.
