The Generation 3 MY LITTLE PONY iceberg explained

[@EthanToavsFanMusic]

I am flattered that you enjoyed my various arrangements of G3's songs - I have liked those projects very much. There is some very fine music in G3, and it is one of the main things that got me into composing. I actually got permission from Mark Watters, the main composer for G3, to arrange his music. Thank you for sharing my arrangements.

[@clockworkcat8576]

Woah! The man himself!

Loving some things so much you would make a song about it must be incredible. All that talent put into something you love just because of the joy for what you experienced for it so you want to get back to the show and the fans.

This unlocked a childhood memory. When I was a kid we had a bunch of the toys with the magnet hooves. I remember we’d make them stick to the metal bolts on my bedroom ceiling fan and take bets on which one would stay on longest when the fan started turning.

I wish G3 had a proper TV series instead of just a string of short movies. A whole season of G3 would be really fun to watch! With how cheerful and low stakes G3 is 99% of the time, it would work way better as a slice of life series than as a bunch of movies where some kind of conflict has to be solved. Actually I wish G4 did more slice of life too! G2 is more slice of life and I actually really like it! My Little Pony in general would make a really good slice of life series... Like come on, just let the ponies pony!

​@Sukeban Deka Saki Sanobashi True. Even a really lighthearted type of villain would have helped add some sort of stakes. Just some sort of antagonist to zap with a rainbow friendship laser!

[@rattyeely]

The thing about G3 is that it was all about the toys. Unlike G1 or G4 it didn't have a tv show or even that many specials, but there were a lot of toys and they're some of the most high quality MLP toys made. G4 beats G3 as a media franchise, but the G3 toys are miles above G4 in terms of quality and collectability

[@sylvette.astoria]

As a G3 fan who grew up with this am I super glad to see this and discover stuff that's more fandom related than only doll collection related! Now I want to go find my old toys again, the G3 toys are so so so well made and can withstand so many things it's amazing how long my G3 dolls still have their original scents even after a decade

[@sparkxii.]

Another popular franchise licensed under Hasbro, Littlest Pet Shop (or LPS) for short, had the exact same toy design scheme as the Gen 3 ponies did, specifically the magnets in the right front paw/hoof. For similar reasons, Hasbro stopped producing the Pet Shop models with the magnets in them around the time the serial numbers all got to the 1000s, which is when they made the switch from magnets to holes and pegs for activation playsets rather than just magnets. MLP and LPS to me are like sibling series, even if they're not related. They both have that specific charm to them

Can't wait to see the Gen 1 iceberg. Also, why does everyone hate A Very Minty Christmas so much? I think it's cute (for what the series is). Or maybe it's just that I like socks, Christmas, and Minty?

[@kittencatgames6232]

Honestly, I hear a lot of people shipping Minty and Pinkie, but no one ever seems to mention Starbright and Heart Flight (seen in Two for the Skies) as being a couple, but I personally feel there's a lot of signs that imply that they're a couple. In the beginning, it mentions how the two ponies are "closer than two friends had ever been before", they're always seen doing things together, and they even live in the same house (even going as far as to sleep in the same bed). I could be wrong, but it really just seems like the two ponies are a couple. Of course, that's just a personal theory of mine, and it's never mentioned explicitly that they're dating.

I guess they wanted to appeal to the Christian demographic. But I, as an ex-Christian, personally think the toy should’ve had some sort of night wish instead, something more secular. Like the Starlight, Starbright nursery rhyme. I honestly think Abrahamic themes in MLP are extremely out of place as MLP has magic, something straight out of paganism and associated with witchcraft (you know, the stuff many militant Christians like to bash on yet steal from Pagans). If there was a Pagan themed pony I would’ve gotten it.

Because you're telling all these stories about ponies with your friends. The G3 magnet ponies stampede across my refrigerator to this day.

[@RX-12]

I've developed a fondness for G3 ever since I found out about an online fan called SillyAllAround, who loved the MLP franchise and tragically died in a car accident before the release of FIM. I found a post from her explaining why she loved the G3 specials: "I tried to watch Lord of the Rings today, and was so overwhelmed, I had to stop. Now, I'm watching every My Little Pony from A Charming Birthday through Positively Pink expressly because they have a complete lack of villainy in an ideal atmosphere that takes me completely away from a world of war and terror. To me, this shows that a world that is not in the verge of annihilation can still be perfectly stimulating, and definitely not boring. This is my personal view."

This is actually a pretty good coverage for G3. Saying this as someone who grew up with G3 and has followed and collected MLP my entire life, including having four of those exclusive G3 figures you mentioned, I appreciate this video quite a bit. Thank you, for finally adding a voice with legitimate facts and correct information, from a neutral or positive perspective. It has been so, so needed. Also a special thank you for taking the time to differentiate between the core 7 reboot and the original. Personally speaking it was the original I grew up with and loved, I never really did care all that much for newer Toola Roola and the rest, nor for the newer intro. The fan theory stuff though is.... questionable. If those theories were around while G3 was present I'll be highly surprised, my entire experience during G3 is of the celebration of individual characters and each person's creativity, mostly creating and sharing unique and interesting ponies in various mediums. I don't think anyone really though hard enough about it for theories to become prevalent, and while the odd person did ship the ponies it was, as far as I knew, rather rare.

25:42 no men no boys this is... the world of LESBIANS (it's a reference in case anyone's confused)

G3 gets a lot of undeserved hate imo. It's obviously not as good as the generation that proceeds it, but that doesn't make it bad. It's just a harmless show for little girls at worst, with some cute, fun little charms at best. As far as children's media goes, you can definitely do a *lot* worse. (Stares intensely at Cocomelon)

[@jillforbesforbes2873]

Did anybody realize that The breezies came from generation 3 like if you really look and comparison there was a lot of inspiration from G3 a lot one of the biggest one being The breezies I'm glad they kept them but I still kind of like the G3 breezy's better 🤗💞

[@neontangle11]

This is big comfort video for me. Thank you for making this

[@raptecclawtooth9046]

Wow! so many things i don't know, normally i thought G3 was only the flash babys, hence the unjustified hate

[@graphitetailgrace3870]

I think that "Lost CGI Pilot" was just GinaGiovannielle misremembering those toy commercials they put at the end of at least one video. (Dancing in the Clouds ends with a commercial for MLP merch that features a CGI Pinkie Pie)

[@sodaxrc]

omg i totally forgot about the mlp plug n play... 4 year old me was OBSESSED

[@janavukcevic]

I watched G3 as a toddler/young kid and had some MLP magazines and ponies(the only thing I have left is a half-plush half-plastic baby rainbow dash or something).

[@Newromantics1313]

Tysm for making this! G3 is one of my favorite generations! 💖

[@marshmellowkiller101]

I looked this up on a whim, not expecting to find anything, and instead found this gem. Thank you for making this

[@winwinner6674]

What i loved about G3 wasn't only the design, but the purity, the real friendship, how ponies were helping each other, were modest and never lied and all the lessons you'd learn from every episode were amazing. In G4 i didn't like the negative elements, the horror elements, the aggressivity from every pony and the fact that none of the ponies suited their elements.

35:45 Can someone explain this, I don’t get it.. is it because of her name or did she get into a controversy or something.

[@jorgito93700]

i can't find anything so either it's not well known or it's the standard iceberg creepy entry stuff

[@ruthmcnally310]

It’s referring to the name, as “Cummer” can be used as slang for something rather naughty.

[@ankiankianki3605]

i dont get it either :(

[@carolinewheeler77]

Don’t u slander my girl desert rose! She’s one of my fav g3 ponies cuz she’s really pretty. Also I live in a desert so I’m biased.

[@sylvette.astoria]

Ah her doll is absolutely GORGEOUS too! Her name is pretty much a stand out as well

[@pinkdiamond1847]

G3 is the one I grew up with so I have a soft spot for it but I think the grown men hating on it is incredibly dumb not because its good because it really isn't I only love it because I loved it when I was little but they were comparing it to G4 which was intentionally an improvement.

[@kokepasu4583]

I'm excited for the g1 iceberg, what a roller coaster..

[@ProphettWith2Ts]

G3 MLP was one of my favorite things as a kid so this video was really nostalgic for me. Thanks for making this!

[@lavieunrose8134]

you can NOT just dump “hey there’s pony porn from 2007” on me and expect me to NOT look it up

[@temptedbyartjewelry5892]

1. if mlp takes place in the real world, that means it's in an alternate timeline where horses took over the world and adapted to grow wings and horns that became magic somehow. 2. will mlp be considered an anime now?

[@tyokabina2829]

The animation was cute but a bit of an overlong commercial, but the toys. The toys were quality as well as quantity. The FIM toys don't feel the same way the older generation toys do, so basically the exact opposite problem ironically.

[@helloyoungones1678]

I never had the crystal castle BUT I use to stick my pony’s on the fridge 😂

[@conarcoin]

wake up babe new mlp iceberg just dropped

[@borisarchive]

Yoooo I've been waiting for this iceberg for such a long time I'm so excited!!!

[@duefordoomsday]

Pinkie's mom has got it going on

[@MetallicPetals]

Just hit me that G3 isn't as liked because it's aimed towards kids more so then other gens

[@its_destruggle2226]

I’m so excited, this is the gen I grew up on this should be interesting
