I think the reason ‘Sweet Music’ sounds so familiar is because it’s a completely different style from the rest of the songs in the series. The other songs have more of a late 80’s/early 90’s style, while ‘Sweet Music’ sounds similar to a lot of 50’s pop/rock songs. As pinkie pie says, Just a hunch.

In some older movies and tv shows, the guys who thought they were tough were obsessed with their hair and we're always flinging black styling combs around. I think it originates from the movie version of Grease where Danny Zuko and the T-Birds do that. Originally they were going to have knives but the sensors at the time thought that would be inappropriate and changed it to Combs. But I can kind of see Teddy as having a secret aspiration to be a barber or men's hairdresser.

I think its because the show was the first exspance to the characters having distinct and complex personalities. The original had some of that as does G3 but tales has a lot more of it. In original G1 and G3 the ponies had personalities but there were massive numbers of them with the same or very similar personalities, tales focus on less main characters made them able to flesh the main characters out. Something they perfected by FIM and could apply it to more characters.

The strange thing is that visually her character model is barely any different from the other characters. Like it's the TINIEST difference.

Just wanted to say for the Bon Bon has diabetes theory, that’s not how it works. Type 1 diabetes is your body isn’t able to produce insulin, so when your blood sugar gets high (usually after you eat something), you have to get a shot of insulin to lower it back down. The only time you need to eat is if your blood sugar gets low and even then you don’t need to eat as much as Bon Bon does. What she most likely would have is hypoglycemia.

It's kinda ironic that the silly, short lived spinoff series is actually the darkest one of the whole franchise. Because it features the one villain no magical horse, God, or human can truly defeat: Climate change. Oh, and since "Who's Responsible" was the last episode, the episode ends with little resolution to its conflict, and we never see these ponies in any future generations, we can safely assume that this cute, peppy pony society was eventually wiped out by its own pollution.

1:45, yeah I noticed that when I watched that documentry. I had remembered seeing G2 ponies, they were made when MLP had been out of popularity for years, they didn't think it was worth putting a show out and MLP had done semi-well despite things considered so didn't bother with a show. The thing is... The newer pony models were very different and slightly more horse-like in shape then past models. G3 they realised, a TV show works and so they made one... But.... They missed what made G1 popularity. It was the fantasy element. G3 had that but... It was made for little children. What made G1 worked was, the show wasn't just baby'ed down for kids, it was made and put out as a show that despite being aimed for kids had some nice story telling. G3 also didn't really flesh out its world it just introduced characters who only had slight changes in personnalities but were the same oveall cookie-cutter mould. G4 returned to the fantasy and gave it more clarity, lore and fleshed everything out. And it worked! It was everything G1 was and oh so much better. Now for G5 their going with a lot of that generations elements and their just building on it. But the thing about G4 was, it was so enjoyable that honestly? It wasn't just successful in terms of toys, it was successful as a franchise. The characers also, forgot to mention were distinct. While this made a lot of popular and unpopular characters, the popular characters were for a reason popular because they were enjoyable. G4 made a world that was huge, filled with all sorts of things. MLP could have gone on for a bit longer, but all things have to come to an end. One thing that did make G4 distinct was having characters with a sense of direction too. Rarity was going to be opening fashion shops all across Equesteria, Rainbow Dash was going to be a Wondebolt, etc. I think over time, Hasbro has learnt a good show sells a product.

Jesus Christ I kind of just remembered Bullwinkle and the remove the knob from television bit never even thought anything of it till you mentioned it. I remember that being a thing that was mentioned and little adverts for the cartoon the whole don't touch that dial kind of thing back in the day. Using blackmail to foil a villain in a storyline has actually been more common than you might think in 1970s and 80s cartoon it's something that's been done quite a few times usually the hero character will threaten to reveal something embarrassing about the villain and ironically the tactic works for the hero yet the other way around when the villain does it it goes bad for the villain kind of double standards. Watched a lot of Animation from the 60s and 70s when I was growing up in the 80s so I've seen a lot of the more obscure stuff along with a lot of 80 stuff that people forget. I wasn't even aware of my little pony tails but you got to remember I watched maybe two episodes of My Little Pony back in the 80s if that show didn't do much for me.

Maybe the reason we dont see winged/horned ponies in this series is because all the seperate races(?) of ponies now livecaway from eachother durning/after g5 and we only ever see the story from the earth pony's perspective. We see pegasy once aswell as an alicorn as they probably come from a place where theyve settled somewhere else. Earth ponies were kinda forgotten about in g4 as being appart of alicorn magic (hell originally thec2 sisters were just labled as unicorn-pegasy hybrids untill the first hearthwarming ep. So maybe pegasy/unicorns exist together still.
@Idiotic_B_Purcell2 жыл бұрын
Funny you say that, because [SPOILER ALERT] the G5 movie actually does have all the different pony races living separately. Not only that, there's even an amount of racism going on, as Earth ponies are scared of unicorn horns/magic and of pegasi snatching them off the ground and flying away, despite the fact that, after some crazy thing happenied between G4's and G5's events (yes G5 takes place eons after G4 ended), unicorns no longer have magic, and pegasi can't fly anymore. Those 2 races also both think Earth ponies are all stupid hillbillies. Not to mention alicorns in this future are nowhere to be seen, as either they're all dead or somewhere super remote to the point of where their existence is debated. I haven't watched the movie myself, but I did watch a few reviews, so it could be a similar instance

1. The voice swap error was actually quite common in some 80's-90's shows. Mom was watching the first few episodes of the first TMNT with us and noticed Raph's voice was coming out of Donnie for a single line. Another example of this was those old Mario cartoons (Super Show and the other 2). I specifically remember one scene where Luigi told Mario that it was a good thing they had something I forgot, but Luigi's voice was coming out of Mario, so Mario was basically talking to himself about it (not to mention this was on top of another error where the colours of their outfits were completely wrong), and another scene in another episode where Princess Toadstool was asking a cave-Toad why he was seemingly talking about mashed potatoes, but her voice was coming from Luigi's mouth. A shocking error at first glance 2. I actually remember watching a similar YTP which was basically the same video, but instead of just "Pony" being replaced with "Pingas", it was every noun (it even had one of the Tales songs given the same treatment as a bonus). I think we might've seen the same video

Weird how it’s never worked, and yet hasbro’s done it three times already.” I think maybe there was supposed to be something explaining what exactly “it” is here, inbetween these two line reads. My best guess is that this section is talking about spin-offs for successful generations. But it was a little weird to see you lead into saying something, and then just not complete your thought.

As a longtime peripheral in the G1 "fandom" (mainly through both my sister's former enthusiasm and the brony phenomenon) since the early 2010s, I deeply appreciate the existence of videos such as these, particularly given the oddly vitriolic revisionism the brony fandom of old frequently imposed upon previous MLP generations (which were resultantly stigmatically labelled as merely "garbage for little girls" without any specific further analysis). MLP Tales' mere existence has fascinated me for years - I cannot fathom why Hasbro executives believed that the most adequate vehicle for marketing a toyline of neon-colored sentient horses was a Doug-esque slice-of-life series, but I can't deny that the show's odd amalgam of zany humor and noticeably out-of-touch attempts at capturing early 90s tween culture wield a certain unironic charm to me (particularly when compounded by the latent fantasy elements the show occasionally gestured towards, such as Squire's ghost and Brightglow's band of "aliens"). On a mostly-related note, several of the photos of the Tales UK comics shown in the videos are actually mine from around 2013 (I never figured I'd see the day when my old house's shag carpet would appear in a reasonably-popular YT video, but here we are). I've been collecting the UK comic series (both Tales and pre-Tales) since 2012 and they're a weirdly interesting encapsulation of G1's evolution at large - both comic series are abruptly hard-rebooted from high fantasy adventures to the Tales continuity around 1993 (with virtually no explanation beyond "they're on holiday", hilariously enough) and proceed to screw up the color schemes of most of the secondary cast (I'm guessing that at least some users have seen photos of a red Teddy and green Ace drifting around the web) for most of the following year. While, as you noted, bowdlerized for a younger audience than the TV show, it's nonetheless neat seeing the cast in a parallel-yet-officially-approved form.

Brad Swaile (Light from Death Note) actually got his start voicing Ace in this show. He said later that Ace was the closest he came to a villain role before Death Note.

5:30 the more unnatural hooves look better than G5’s “magic” hooves in my opinion, atleast for when they dont have magic. Suspendion of disbelief for me is just wild with magic

Actually, the cutie mark of their teacher is a blackboard with the two number being made by a lil piece of chalk, is difficult to see but if you pay enought attention when she's on the scene, you can totally see it. It reflects her passion to teach, quite literally. As what kind of thing she does have on her head, it kind of reminds me of an old's lady wrapping cloth with elastic as an adjustment garment and lil waves above that to hide it, like a bath hat, older generations used it when they were grannies, so i supposed it was that, to reflect certain familiarity to the audience.

I've seen one episode of the original mlp tales. It held a very creepy feel it too. I don't why I was very young back than. But watching this just reminded me of that feeling again. It was a great theory video or showing off theories. I do think some of these where kinder true or at less getting to the true. I don't know.
