G1 vs G5 Posey

What do you think? Why did they make Posey in G5 so unlikeable :( They are clearly based on each other in terms of colour scheme and love of gardening...

Different depiction of a character for a new entry in the series, happens to countless characters from various franchises that have decades of history, you have new people behind a new project, they'll do their vision of the characters.

But in case of Posey I think maybe it's also something else, I haven't seen her G1 version for myself yet, but the way you described her in the image, doesn't she remind you of Fluttershy? So, I believe, Posey herself already resembles Fluttershy in appearance, if G5 Posey was like Fluttershy in personality they would be way too similar to each other, people would make a lot of comparisons, so they decided to make her completely different as a character, pretty antagonistic, even similar to the "Arrogant version" of Fluttershy we see in some moments from FiM :angry:, I think they did a genius move :cheeky-smile: (plus I think we already have way too much super friendly characters in G5, so it's good to have someone like her around :ButtercupLaugh:)

oh - yep, more of a tactical rebrand, like the rebranding of Rarity and Pinkie and ofc Dashie in FiM.

I do think it's odd that they left her a gardener though. You would think with the earth pony power being plant related, Posey would be portrayed as a special pony, but no she's made butt of the joke instead D: always felt weird to me.

I wish they'd made ore of Sprout's mom as a villain. She was great in the movie. Doesn't it feel a bit more natural to have Sprout's mom play the role they give to Posey?

I think they just liked Posey more XD Phyllis Cloverleaf reappears in TyT Season 1 and MyM, but all of her appearances are irelevant or just cameos, and Sprout doesn't even appear in TyT, Posey wasn't there in the movie, so I think they just decided to introduce new characters, but after a time they just forget about them or make them into background characters, that's a problem with G5 specially TyT :sunny:
