you misheard, they were describing her as thick

if she do this she die too!

“Some mares just want to watch the world burn”

@Ardashir  
Thank Meghan McCarthy for that.

@BK Leonidas  
Really? I suppose I should be glad that my track record of liking the ‘wrong’ characters is going strong.
 
Really though whoever said that sounds like a jacka$$.

@Dig Dug  
I don’t know. I distinctly remember someone on the MLP team describing her as a hick at one point.

@BK_Leonidas  
It’s not that they think country girls are offensive, they straight up think Applejack’s country character is boring and unappealing. Too ‘horsey’. If I remember correctly, they specifically said no brown/tan, open to colors other than orange/apricot unless nothing else works. She’s less of a token black character and more of a token scrappy punk character. Like an angrier Babs.

@Prometheushunter2  
I was talking about the G5 leaks.
 
Though don’t quote me on that black woman bit. All I really know is that Hasbro doesn’t want the AJ we know and love to make it to G5 without some alterations because they think that country girls are offensive.

@BK_Leonidas  
I was talking about it deserving the hilarious in hindsight tag because she effectively destroying her entire world for her own stupid reasons. I have no idea what you’re talking about

@Prometheushunter2  
Oh god don’t remind me.
 
Can’t believe they’re honestly turning Applejack into a token black woman because people these days might get offended by a country girl. I wish I was making this up.

@Background Pony #6B06  
It deserves that tag for many more reasons than just that

I’m pretty reasonably sure this was made PRIOR to the Cutie Remark being known, so this deserves a “hilarious in hindsight” tag.

This kind of reminds me of that arc where the Shredder attempted to wipe out the Turtles from existence via traveling back to the earliest “source” of the Turtles, which were the 80s shows and comics.

Why would she kill her Creator BEFORE she creates her. Unless she just wants to see what fucking happens

My brain hurts.

Or maybe is just a reverse case of this:

It would not work.  
Even without Lauren Faust, the G4 toy set of MLP would be created anyways by HABSRO, selecting StudioB/DHX again [because they are cheap], but also good doing the specific “animated quadruped puppets on FLASH” they require.  
Because Lauren Faust is dead, they will look for another animator with a similar ability to design characters and lore.  
The show will not be “the same”, but it is POSIBLE that it will set the same “spark” that blow up 4-chan in a perfect storm.  
Eventually (with enough seasons and episodes), the stories will get darker and edgier to please either the parents or the “unexpected adult audience”; creating a similar character than Starlight Glimmer [who will go back in time for whatever other reason]; setting the “past with Lauren Faust alive”…  
…This will keep “cycling” with minor variations until the Starlight “expy” character kills Lauren Faust (either by accident or on porpouse), finally closing the timeloop and allowing the future to happen.

Too bad there was no old starlight to save the day.

Murdered by her own creation… even though she had no hand in Starlight Glimmer’s conception.

@Fimbulvinter  
Which is why I’m pissed off that they used the wrong gun…

No, it’s an almost word for word reference to a scene from the original Terminator movie, in which the terminator walks up to a home, asks the woman living there if her name is Sarah Conner, and then promptly guns her down when she answers yes.

Is this supposed to be a parody of the whole “I’m going to kill George Lucas in 1994?” time travel joke?
