Hi, *Tyandaga.* I hope you've been doing fine at this point of the year. Thank you for the video and can't wait for more from you. Safety and health to you and everyone.

[@Carrotear]

When you look at this show as it is alone without thinking of fim, it's not the best but it's decent and It is nowhere near as obnoxious as TTG. More episodes have been released since it launched back in June, I was wondering why you were just showing the first few episodes. Also this isn't a sequel show. Aside from all this...I LOVE your editing!

Fluttershy is much more interesting in Pony Life than FiM where shes just boring and passive. Heck in Equestria Girls show she is literally a background character without a single story arc. In Pony Life Fluttershy is the one who dominates and takes names, she is also the one who lust over Discord instead just letting him SIMP over her like in FiM. Overall Pony Life handle characters better but the short episodes and cheap animation make them look like shit

Well I’m planning on a Robotboy reboot that doesn’t look like shit and follows an original plot with a cool new artstyle which goes like this -realistic body heights -every character has colored eyes -subtle shading, shiny hair effect (taken from anime) Various nose and eye shapes 5 fingered hands And that’s how it looks (tommy has one brown eye and one blue eye and gus has both brown eyes).Also there will be meme references however not enough to annoy the hell out of you.

Haven’t watched the show, but here’s what’s baffling me: Why are all of them acting the same? Like, Pinkie hasn’t really changed that much- she’s still incredibly hyperactive. But... Why are the others acting THE EXACT SAME WAY AS SHE IS? Like, I haven’t watched much of FIM (but I have a good grasp on how the characters act), but I know for a FACT that Flutter wouldn’t be springing off the walls. Rarity seems to have been turned into a borderline PSYCHO, and the other 3 are just Pinkie clones.

[@Bunbee]

All you had to do was look at the "Pony Life" logo compared to the "FiM" logo to spot the stepdown. It's honestly just dissapointing. We saw how amazing FiM was. The backgrounds, stories, hell, the LORE. Pony Life is literally another cartoon catering to the younger generations, which to be fair, is exactly what they've been doing with the MLP series for years. I guess my whole thing is: the overall MLP style and storyline has always gotten better, so why is it worse now? I agree the style is cute, but it's definitely not all that FiM was. I don't think it could ever live up to the standards FiM set. How the characters act is also dissapointing. I understand making characters more energetic because thats what kids like, but everyone also needs to understand what the main 6 had to offer with their old personalities that made them so much more loveable. Fluttershy wasn't just "shy." She also represented people with anxiety, stage fright, people who couldn't stand up for themselves. I for one, have anxiety. And i could see myself in her, and considering FiM was a cope for me, it helped me grow from that. Rainbow was bullied, but she was able to get up and come back stronger. She also had to deal with a bad friendship which she later mended, thats important. Pinkie is another story, as she could represent a lot. Same with Rarity, and AppleJack. The simple truth is, not only stepping down when it comes to artstyle but also basic character design including their personalities seems so wrong and distasteful. I loved FiM. The different pony races, the different parts of Equestria, the stories- it was all so unique and special. I have no desire to follow up with Pony Life. FiM was a huge part of me growing up, and I don't want to support something that in my opinion did my girls wrong. MLP has and always will be great, but I think there comes a point that it's not worth it anymore.

[@mnmnflr]

I totally agree with you. You literally wrote every reason why I don't like pony life In FiM I really liked and loved Pinkie, but in pony life in my opinion- she is the worst. I don't want to explain it, I am sure that everyone can understand me. Now, all my hopes are in G5

[@RaichuWizDom]

Personally, I think we're never going to get straight answers on how people feel about this whole thing. Not the original series, not this new one. People got so invested in the fandom it became part of their identity, and once that happens, people start having trouble distinguishing between what they see and what they want to see. Rational debate becomes impossible at that point. I've tried it myself, and given up on it. And hey, the show proved me wrong on a lot of things I thought were obvious from the beginning, so it's not something I consider myself immune from, either. And Pony Life? I don't watch it myself. Why would I? I have to make time to watch Season 9 as it is. Pony Life doesn't appeal to me, the art style and type of storytelling isn't what I'm looking for right now. And even if it was, it would be competing with the Family Guy-looking reboot of Scooby Doo, the Thundercats reboot, and Teen Titans Go. I'm aware they're not the same, but they're in the same ballpark. You're not going to get a straight answer from people who like Pony Life. They'll either be the target audience who didn't grow up with FiM or they'll be people who are already invested in the fandom and for them... you can't really tell if they genuinely like the show or if it's Sunk Cost Fallacy: they fool themselves into thinking they like it because otherwise they have to admit a loss. At least, some do. The ones who don't, well, how can you tell the difference? I'm sure it does have its genuine fans, but the numbers are and will remain a mystery. Design-wise, from what little I've seen, so take it with a grain of salt: everyone looks and acts hyper. And when everyone's hyper, then no one is. It loses contrast, which is what FiM did well, IMO. Imagine they redid Winny the Pooh like this. Can you see Eeyore acting like Fluttershy in this one? I think the pony fandom was essentially a Rorschach test for a lot of people. We saw things in it that weren't there, and got attached to an illusion. Some of it will have been real, but with so many illusions in the mix, it's impossible to tell what, exactly. The politisation of everything doesn't help, either. I'm waiting for more Filly Funtasia myself, or Valt the Wonder Deer. They're bad (Filly takes a nosedive in quality past episode 5-ish, at least the versions we have currently) but at least we know what we're getting from them. Also, you know, there's always making your own. No one has the copyright to magical horses, or deer. If G5 doesn't buff Earth ponies with some Bayard magic (look that name up, btw), then somebody else is bound to do it soon.

[@dragoniraflameblade]

THIS whoollee thing I totally agree with. It's bizzare how fandoms = identity for ppl. MLP has been a comfort show for myself and then the fandom was where I'd go for anything else I wanted with the pony aesthetic. I'd love to see someone take "magical animals" as a series on its own. Edit: "Politisation" like politics? Politics are going to be in art simply for existing. Ppl got upset over "Who is afraid of Red Yellow and Blue" and it turned into a political scandal until someone slashed the paintings.

[@RaichuWizDom]

@@dragoniraflameblade Well, been working on a story series on and off for a few years, never got far beyond the pilot, maybe when I find more time for it. Think Naruto characters in an MLP style of story with a setting from Darkest Dungeon... doing a sports anime. That's the elevator pitch. Warning: this is a long one. It's a complicated matter, and I'm not smart enough to condense it. With regards to the politics: the issue there is a semantic one, I think. You can have a show or story with universal messages, of course, and it wouldn't be considered political. People use the example of X-Men, for example, which was not, in fact, conceived as a civil rights allegory but only became one in the 80's, after the subject had become more mainstream, but that as an aside. You can have the X-Men overall message be 'try to live together with people you're different from; they have their struggles too.' You can apply that message to age differences in young athletes (pre-adolescents having to compete with adolescents, like in Free!), the difference in social pressure between academics (sure the nerds look smart, but their family makes their life miserable and forces them to study hard) and so on. A universal message with lots of applications tends to be popular, because different people can come together over it and share the same experience. But when it becomes narrowed down to just one situation and hammered in over and over again, the audience will start seeing it for the one trick pony it is. To take the X-Men example: it's really closer to a gun control allegory than a civil rights allegory, especially considering one of the more often cited comparisons (Magneto) was originally an outright supremacist bent on wiping out the human race. Don't stare your blind on the example, though, it's the rule that matters. Why is the Lorax short film still fondly remembered but Captain Planet ridiculed for the mes that it is? Both have the same message of protecting the environment, but one went for a general and nuanced approach while the other did... not. Examples abound. MLP Season 1 finale? Everyone can relate to hanging out with friends after a supposed 'best night ever.' Your average Bible-heavy movie? Not everyone can relate to a devout pastor, not unless you show his formative experiences... the ones that made him devout in the first place. It's hard to explain. There are, sadly, several ways you can interpret the term 'political' in art, cartoons are no exception. Most people, and this is just a suspicion, feel free to compare your own findings, get a gut feeling about which media is politicised but can't put their finger on *why* they feel that way. And that's a huge problem, because it doesn't allow for useful feedback. Top of my head, what I'd ask to specify when someone brings it up: -does the message break the suspension of disbelief? This is where the 'realism' argument gets thrown about. People don't want realism; they want believability. When you're invested in a fictional world, learning the rules is part of that investment: you make an effort to learn, however small that effort is. Seeing the rules broken to lecture to the audience will make the audience regret their efforts. MLP did this a few times for me, and it got my dander up, I can tell you. I shudder to think what would happen to die-hard fans in that situation. -is the message portraying a problem in a one-sided way? This is where the 'lecturing' part of the problem comes in. Idealising reality is what art is all about, this is good. But when one attempts to portray a real problem and message thereabouts, it's important to be even-handed. Again, refer to the Lorax short. The Onceler regrets his actions, deeply. He justifies himself early on as being in favour of 'progress.' He is not your average Captain Planet cartoon villain. This gets particularly egregious when real-world problems are presented inaccurately. -does the message serve as a shield? This is what's been becoming more and more common, I think. Creators will include whatever sort of minority representation even where it doesn't do anything for the story or where it can break immersion, because doing so gives them moral high ground. You can't criticise a bad show if it represents X characters. You can't criticise an overreach of authority if it's to protect something sacred, like children or minority representation. Similar principle. Edit, one more came to mind: -allocation. Does presenting the message somehow change the intent of the art, in the eyes of the consumer? Light entertainment resembling a news reel can be the extreme form of this. The creator of the Smurfs not wanting any part in America's war on drugs yet seeing his characters dragged into an infomercial is the same situation from another perspective. People tend to have their shows to relax to or to think to or to get hyped about. Adding in moralistic messages, if it's too heavyhanded, can lead people to seek a different product to fulfill their need. You don't go to MacDonalds for a pizza. You don't go to cartoons to get lectured about things. But that's just speaking from a creator and consumer's perspective. It becomes a whole 'nother hornet's nest when third parties get involved.

[@dragoniraflameblade]

@@RaichuWizDomElevator pitch sounds good, but it needs some clarity. I'm a writer and comic creator. So for sure, as someone who was (groan) engrossed in Christan fiction and convinced I had to have a """message""" on everything, I totally understand. I tried reading Christian fiction and gave up when I realized there were always points where the MAJORITY would stop the story and literally preach to the audience. Only series I kept reading was Dragons in our Midst series. I feel like your interpretation relies a lot on audience reaction and some marketing mistakes. Inclusion of minorities as a shield often seems like either a very poor marketing strategy or a fan reaction (it queer, so no bad for example. When really it's actually bottom of the barrel rep or problematic) which I believe is a result of that thirst for representation on fandom's part and makes them more eager to defend it. Otherwise, yeah, I agree. Art has a message wether intended or not. It's all interpretation on the audience's part as well as the creators delivering it. I can't control how someone will see my stuff, but I won't force them to understand it how I do and that's how I see the lecturing parts in some shows.

[@RaichuWizDom]

@@dragoniraflameblade Yeah, I can see that, and I agree on your final note wholeheartedly. I've been put in that position once or twice writing fanfics, it's no fun. For the original stuff, I'm trying not to advertise it too much too early, because it's got a few things in the pipeline that can ruffle a few feathers, let's say. But it's about a mare who's been learning an obscure type of magic who ends up owning a library in a foreign country due to a misunderstanding and a Sword in the Stone kind of deal with inheritance. She ends up coaching a team of children in competitive magical combat. For the pilot, the main idea would be she's having to come to terms with the idea that mastery of her craft doesn't come from getting a degree in magic, but from her accomplishments. She doesn't want her craft to die, so she decides to lead by example. The overall tone I'm aiming for is MLP-type feels but with a little more nuance and weight to things: the families of the kids matter a lot, and conflict off the field includes a father working in law enforcement (sort of) risking his life every day. Opposing teams are given backgrounds on why they act the way they do, sportsmanship comes in at times... basic sports anime fare there. The Naruto vibes would come from how the magic system works (it's a home-made system, based on actual occult literature), it goes more into training and mechanics than, say, AtLA did. And the setting's not exactly Darkest Dungeon, but certainly DD-adjacent. The main character's a mare, but she's in reindeer country. And reindeer of the setting are defined as being former slaves to demonic foxes. Not the Japanese kind, mind you, but outright eldritch horrors. So there's kind of a dealing with the past element, too, different factions represented by coaches of rival teams, that sort of thing. And the occasional shock when the kids have to fight a different species, to get that nature versus nurture element in there where it fits. Right now all I've got is a messy pilot, so it definitely needs work. I want it to be functional as both a series, with each season independently, and each episode needs to 'work,' so to speak. Who knows, maybe Ty will end up doing a video on it if it ever blows up in popularity ^^ I don't think Hell's airconditioning is that strong yet, though. It's a work in progress, outlined to a fair extent already, so it can get done, it's only a question of when and how.

[@dragoniraflameblade]

@@RaichuWizDom Nice! As you go along, you'll get your pitch down! Really creative tho. I've had the odd book ideas, but nothing really concrete as far as anthro universes. One I've tried to lift off is dragons as the main characters, but it's never sat right with me. It's one of those white whale books I'm sure I'll pin down one of these days, lol. Rn, I'm writing a sci-fy trilogy about witches living in space colossi thru a magical symbiotic relationship. One colossus is infected with a deadly fungus that feeds on magic. An engineer finds an ancient colossus in a comatose state with only one person aboard who has just woken up. Mysteries abound! Desperation! And I'm in the middle of the first draft, so I'm sure there's a third thing in there somewhere.

It seems like Pony life is just the Gen 4.5 of the series.

It's funny that Hasbro has another pretty new kid's show, Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy. It's also having simple childish style, rather simple plot and short episodes (10 minutes). But RBA is SO MUCH BETTER than Pony Life! I don't know why, but while PL is a weird toy commercial providing nothing else but comedy and "buy. our. toys", RBA is really a nice show. Maybe, because it really looks a lot like the first seasons of MLP, with all this "friendship is magic!" and "let's do a nice philosophical conclusion at the end of the episode" stuff, and because the characters are really acting as a team consisting of different people with different personalities and skills, but... Really. Non-MLP show is more MLP than MLP itself, isn't it weird?!!

[@YourBreakThroughTV]

[@JJL-TTC]

The reason why pony life is a slice of life, is because it's pony life. Like, the entire series is just showing the ponies day to day life. I feel like the episodes are shorter because they don't want BIG AND BOLD adventures. They just want small, bite sized adventures in their life.

[@BeeMoney_ChaosStreamer]

Ok heres how i see pony life. On one hand ty you are right that it's did take some stuff out of friendship Is magic and that will take some time to get used to but on the other hand, to me it's like Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. It's an entirely different entity because it is a parody of the original which we all love. Some might love pony life, some might absolutely despise it and some might think of it as a show to watch when your bored. Like I said before I see it as a parody and I'm ok with that, plus I have a head cannon that pony life is happening inside pinkies head when she absorbed discords chaos magic in episode 25 of season 9 lol

[@LifeWulf]

I like "Abridged Series" versions of shows because they're fanmade, but using the same art style. So it's like you're really watching an alternate reality with the same characters, and helps both the humour and the immersion for me. An official grab at the concept just completely misses the mark IMO, especially so if they change the art style. Then it's less like AU stuff and more like ADHD fanfiction, or plaigarising their own work. Edit: a word

[@SketchytheChangeling]

To be completely honest, the fandom heavily over estimated just how much of the show's content was spent on World building and exploring areas outside of Ponyville. We didn't start the exploring areas more frequently until season 5, and before then, most of the time the only areas we ever got to see where Ponyville, Canterlot, the everfree forest, the very few times we got to see Cloudsdale and the Crystal Empire, and the one episode that took place in Manehattan. Again, exploring the world wasn't really emphasized until season 5, and even then, it was only ever done sporadically, and when it was done, it was almost always in service to the show's actual goal, teaching lessons to kids. Having re-watched various episodes of the show in preparation for a list video, FiM has always been a slice of life show with only sprinkles of fantasy adventures as bookends to each season, and even when the fantasy adventures became more frequent, the majority of the episodes were still Slice of Life. So while pony life is absolutely a departure from Friendship is Magic, I don't feel it's as big of a departure as a lot of viewers like to think that it is. One thing I love about this new show is that the voice actresses are able to exaggerate their vocals more because the style of the show allows for more exaggeration. This is especially true for is Tabitha st. Germain, who has the most vocal range in my opinion, and I always loved when she exaggerated Rarity's voice in Friendship is Magic, so a show where she gets to do that more frequently gets points in my book.

[@Tyandaga]

Good point on the voice actors/actresses having the opportunity to have more fun with this! They have the chance to be a bit more out of the box, and it's noticeable ^^;

@@SketchytheChangeling Sad thing is that FiM sorta did that by the time season 9 (or a few season eariler) rolled in and most of that season consist of boring brony fan service and trying to be grand and epic like with Avatar or Avengers. Pony Life doesn't need to be epic, grand or even edgy. It's a harmless little cartoon for kids being a harmless little cartoon for kids. Heck, FiM itself is a reboot of on old show based on a toy line for girls and is one of many tv adaptations based on said toy line.

Honestly my main issue with pony life is the fact that it’s completely for kids and safe now. They aren’t teaching about hard topics, like they did in FIM. It’s for kids and kids alone. There isn’t anything for adults or, hell, even teens! To this day, despite being almost an adult, I can stilll watch FIM because it’s enjoyable to more than JUST little kids. But PL feels like a safe only-for-kids show. (And when I say safe I don’t mean safe to watch, I mean safe when it comes to parents/censors reacting to episode content.)

Realistic in the context your talking about, your points are valid. It's not FiM. However I am going to disagree with you with you approach with this. Pony life is not meant to be FiM. And wanting that just isn't fair. the show isn't even canon to FiM. It's a really silly and funny. Wacky show, I can see and enjoy it for what it is. It's a different story if this was Gen 5. I would be pretty disappointed if it was. But but the joke's have gotten better. I like some of the wacky things they are doing with the mane 6. I don't take it so seriously and it's not meant to be taken seriously. But there are still morals in this show. But I fully understand and respect that this is not for everyone

Except that he's talking about what he doesn't like about it, so it doesn't matter if its canon, or not, and it doesn't matter what it's trying to be.

MLP: Pony Life is the "Teen Titans, Go!" crisis all over again. WHY G5 can't be like the 2017 movie animation? And represent some characters from G1 and G4 for a new group of saviors, while having cameo appearances from those of G4? I get it, Pony Life is education, different and pretty, but IT doesn't carry a story to follow at all. And more importantly...can't they bring my G1 favorite, Firefly, in G5? 😆

Because the movie animation was hand drawn.

Pony Life is not G5 though. Its more akin to a G4.5(aka it's only filler to tie people over until G5 releases. Based on those leaks they are going to be using the same animation program as the mlp 2017 movie). If the leaks are true(which so far it has been) the MLP movie next year is the one to kick off G5 but one thing is for certain, Pony Life is in not G5.

[@nathejustice5297]

@@HawksCorner Are you sure?

[@HawksCorner]

@@nathejustice5297 Yes i am 100% sure. Everything in G5 was supposed to change from the race of the characters and to the Voice actors but both remained the exact same in Pony Life and also Hasbro is way too quiet for this to be G5 as they will definitely say it out loud(G5 is momentous occasion for MLP. They would have said something like this "This is G5" or "G5 is here" and say a whole ton of marketing lines to get people interested but for Pony Life there was really not that much marketing wise. They announced Pony Life and than barely talked about it again. Not as much as they should have for a G5 release. The movie comes out in late 2021 and they would not have a entire year of no pony so to keep people paying attention to MLP they do PL to tide them over until than. Also they are not mentioning seasons so that means this is more of a 1 year thing and by next year they will be advertising the movie so that PL served it's purpose and will no longer be needed). All observations of course but I know PL is not G5 as Hasbro is not making such a big deal about it like they did for FIM.

I don't really take Pony Life seriously, I mean, it's not gen 5, not the next big series. It's an MLP: FiM "spin-off reboot", I'd compare it to the gen 3.5, that was a similar case in my opinion. It's just for laughs, something goofy, not supposed to be taken seriously. It's light-hearted, making fun of itself and the franchise occasionally. Just the way princess Celestia is portrayed says it all. And they have smartphones, for Discord's sake! I personally enjoy it, slice of life format is perfect when you need a break. You know there's not gonna be any drama, nothing to cry over or be upset about. It's just silly, it's just there. I remember hearing news about gen 5 a while ago, that it's going to be for older audiences, something like Adventure Time for example, it's gonna be darker and it had something to do with space and pony species living on diferent planets. It could've changed, I don't really follow MLP news anymore, but I'm sure this is not the next big thing they have in store. Let's just enjoy this break and hope for the best.

In a camping we will go there rarity was not use to camping but at the end she got out of her cam front zone. It was even told by applejack. In another example is the go cart episode twilight and rainbow dash wher competing with each other but at the end they realized that it’s not about winning it’s about having fun. In another example is in the one with potion nova, twilight was nervous and having trouble but potion nova told her to let her emotions out. There were plots,morals and character development but the people were to busy comparing it to teen titans go that they didn’t even notice, I mean if I was able to tell what the morals where they shouldn’t be that fast passed.

Pony Life is essentially the Teen Titans Go of MLP.

The original, I would sit down and actually watch. This one, I know I would hate.

This is kinda long. Grammar is also most likely bad lol I kind of like the art they use in Pony Life but not fully the art by it self (Like no animation happening) Is a cute at least to me it is But I hate it. Any time I try to watch it I feel like I want to cry. Mlp had a magic to it in away even the last Season even though you could tell they were running out of ideas for the friendship problems and just friendship all around. They still found ways to have the same feeling of the older seasons into the newer ones. (Still kinda wish we had another EP with Daybreaker though... lol) But Pony life? It doesn't have that at all from what I've seen. And the art style they picked doesn't go with the animation at all when it's moving it just looked... Gross at least to me. I really hope this is just a filler before Gen 5 comes out. But if this is Gen 5?..... It'll be so sad...Because they had something so good before this and they could still do great things but if they keep with this?...For sure not

[@HOYOI]

A show shouldn't be formatted like social media content. If someone wants to watch something on the tv, they expect actual story and entertainment, not something they can watch on KZbin.

[@rcr_recounter]

Oh damn, I had the same thought on the same body shape hatred. Also, one thing, when making the same shape is boring but making it more different shape gives you intrests. And I have a feeling this happened as well on Teen titans, but with mlp. It's cute and all, but no intresting stuff. Edit: oh wait, you just said it on how it ended like teen titans, lol.

[@crossdive7615]

I actually like pony life it’s really good and flutter shy such a troll lol plus it gives more comedy to mlp fim it goes well with it better then teen Titans go

[@strdakx5504]

I like the comedy every now and then but I liked the adventure and the villains and all the creatures...and especially the story But there’s a mlp movie coming out sooo I’m really exited!!!!

[@garthdavis4320]

Good for you. I also like it.

[@Cantersoft]

Anyway Pony Life is basically just the official version of Round Trip's stuff.

[@alexanderliu9376]

at least Round Trip tries

[@randomzzz5182]

I don't like the eyes with the blue pupils or sparkles, idk why

[@Tekdruid]

Funny, now that you mention it... One thing that bothered me about ponylife!Celestia is I feel like she has lost her larger than life status as the God Emperor of Ponykind and become basically just a gag (Much like real life royalty today - AYOOO!). And the fact that she has lost the visual metaphor of being physically bigger than the average pony is definitely a part of that. And yes, the show itself has become somehow ...smaller... now that we only have Ponyville-based slice of life type episodes.

[@sugarsprinkles5802]

I like the way you drew your avatar! the idea of a deer is really cool! I could see it really living in Ponyville.

[@lazycookies]

I hate how this show tries to be “quirky” and “trendy”.. I like it as a fantasy and adventure show! with interesting characters and morals, amazing creatures and lots to think about! This new show is not what anyone wanted from this franchise...

[@lazycookies]

Xxkitten's friendsXx I HATE new flutter shy for one. the only character that’s almost the same as fim id say is pinkie

[@zoeypongo7765]

but the thing is no one wanted this they could have made a next gen and a time jump, then everyone would be all good with it for the most part but this..... no, I showed this to my little cousin and they spat out there drink since me and her would watch mlp together and were hopping for some thing better mlp was ment for everyone this is not

Personally, I love the art style of Pony life. The softer colors and cutesy look is actually really pleasing looking but; it does really limit it on what it can do. It can't be magical, it can't have diverse designs almost at all. Its almost too different and difficult to enjoy because of how different it is. Kids certainly would love it as they didn't grow up with it, but as a person who watched every new episode whenever they could growing up, it doesn't hit the same way.

[@riku2484]

Who cares why you hate it. It's made for kids anyway.

[@elips-Xarious-Moss]

I heard from other youtubers, thats Pony Life Is only temporary until MLP Gen 5. Which has great designs btw-
