- Terrible looking lineart
- The Professor’s chin is round.
- Creators bragged about how villains and monsters will be minor backdrops to “realistic” plots about the lives of kids, oh boy isn’t that exactly what people came to see
- Two unrelated “lol, man in a dress” jokes within the first four episodes
already, yet they scrapped Miss Bellum as a character because they felt
she wasn’t appropriate or something.
- Creators also bragging they have an episode alluding to “gender issues” because there will be a pony that wishes it was a unicorn (?????? ok)
- Latest episode features bullfighting as if it’s a cool, wholesome sport that bulls enjoy being a part of.
@people saying the professor’s roundness would be bad enough even if the show wasn’t a shitfest every other way:
I FORGOT TO MENTION MOJO JOJO HAS SHOWN UP AND HE NO LONGER SPEAKS REDUNDANTLY.
Oh come on how could you fuck that up.
This is why I hate reboots, remakes, reimaginings, rewhateverthefuckyouwanttocallit. Something always goes wrong and it risks staining the original.
Well… that’s not always the case… I can think of a few reboots that I like as much or possibly even more than the originals…
I haven’t seen the original MLP cartoons and had nothing to base my opinion of FiM from. FiM, what I’ve seen of it, is just okay.
As for Transformers, aside from the 80s cartoon which might have been decent the first couple of seasons and went downhill afterward, I only saw Robots In Disguise which I absolutely hated (although the character designs from that were pretty cool) and TFA, which was alright and I liked that the character designs recalled the 1980s series.
And I really never liked Scooby Doo.
Interesting note, I shit on remakes, reboots, and what have you, yet there for a while I liked Teen titans Go, so go figure.
Regardless, you can’t ignore that FiM has done more to expand and popularize the series than any of it’s previous incarnations.
Also it has done more than just attempt to sell toys like it was in teh 80s. It actually deals with issues like loss of a loved one and about peer pressure.
