I'm not a big fan of the characterization of g1. all the ponies were bland and practically identical, and every attempt to give them character p. much amounted to them jumping in our faces and screaming "LOOK I HAVE CHARACTER." it had obligatokenry human protagonists, one of which was a "cool kid." the villains were either just vile for the sake of villainy, or because they haven't gotten enough hugs yet. I liked the fantasy element, when they actually got out and explored. not a big fan of the violence though, honestly. "[some of those scenes were genuinely nightmareish,":](/1084620) b/c the sociopaths in charge of the plot had no clue what they were writing was horrifying.


 
it was a good first try, but as we all know, original works always suck. it's the fan creations like g4 that can refine it into something amazing.
