That’s what a dank meme is. Classic.

@Havock  
Classic memes  

@Derpy Whooves  
it’s dank. Oh so dank!

@Havock  
What kinds of memes are you smelling? Dank? Sweet? Does it have legs?

I smell memes.

@Altair the dragon-horse  
Bingo. We have a winner.
 
[edit: Caveat: I’m not sure the version of Flash that was being used in the end even still qualified as “Flash”, it was so heavily leveraged from Flash 8, and given that the transition to Adobe Animate was … let’s just call it “more painful than just starting over again in something else” I’ve sometimes wondered how much of the end of the series was due to the end of life of Flash. I know that’s not all of it, but still … all those assets in a slowly rotting framework couldn’t have made anyone who needed to meet deadlines feel warm and fuzzy].
 
PS: This is way off topic for the image, and would probably be better to discuss in a forum thread.

@Beau Skunky  
Pretty sure FiM was made in Flash. The Movie and Rainbow special were Toon Boom.

@Beau Skunky  
Oh i can assure you flash is still used

@Beau Skunky  
I believe most have switched to toom boom

@TheSultanAkbar  
Sense Flash is kinda outdated, they probably use other digital tools nowadays.

@Beau Skunky  
Well, enough about other people’s cartoon watching escapades…
 
Yes, but those cartoons are made in Flash (?)

@TheSultanAkbar  
I dunno, you’d be surprised, some are quite into the series, though some prefer earlier seasons.
 
I think the “thick line” style has been around sense Hanna Barbara popularized it in the 1960s, but 1930s cartoons kinda had that style too. There’s been several variations on it, and with TVs being more HD now, and animation done digitally nowadays, the thick lines, and flaws of the style have become more noticeable, therefore some don’t like the style in modern cartoons, as much as older ones, because the digital HD format makes it look more flat, and wiggly.
 
Regardless, some cartoons can pull off the style well like MLP & Gravity Falls.

I doubt many bronies even follow the franchise that closely. It’s more about the comunity aspect, I suppose.
 
True, at first, it was quite simple and basic, though quite pleasing on the eyes. Later seasons did bump the animation quite a bit, and it’s still a nice vibe.
 
Calarts is popular because it just fits the times. The 2010’s had it’s own unique aestetic. Simple and clean. Wasn’t “thick outline” animation popular in the late 90’s/early 2000’s?

Is there a way to delete my comment, or at least not receive a notification every time someone else comments on this? Sorry, but I really hate his panel and the story it’s part of and don’t want a ping every time someone else leaves a comment here.

@CalypsoFantasy  
Probably, but I assume he’d get flack for that too, especially given the negative reaction to “Pony Life.”  
Though, I think he quit the series after all the trolling, and bashing he was getting. (Some fans can’t comprehend there’s a difference between “criticising,” and “bashing.”)
 
@TheSultanAkbar  
I wish more bronies were more open to alternative art or drawing styles honestly… Heck, when I first saw the G4 FIM Lauren Faust art style for the show, (before I became a brony) I actually didn’t like it at first, but then it grew on me, and I like the wide range of expressions the characters have.
 
I remember bronies had a cow over the undersea storybook art, (which I thought was cute, well detailed, and reminiscent of G1 kinda) or even the movie’s slightly altered art style. (And not to mention all the people shouting “CalArts!” at “Pony Life.” Ironically, Lauren Fast was a CalArts student.)
 
It’s like bronies only want ponies to look one way.

@Beau Skunky  
Well, it’s not badly drawn, I just don’t like his drawing style very much.
 
I think Jay would be the perfect artist for an IDW Pony Life miniseries.

@Beau Skunky  
Those are cute. They’re different. It’s not like the show hasn’t tried a few different artstyles.

@Altair the dragon-horse  
I think his older stuff was actually better.

@Beau Skunky  
It took him a long time to really get used to ponies and by the time he found his footing with them, he was gone. Compare his older stuff to the later stuff.

@CalypsoFantasy  
^(Cringes.) …I like Jay Fosgitt’s art. In fact, I think many fans went overboard over him.
 
These two covers will always be some of my favorites.
 

@GammaE  
Speaking of Zecora’s homeland, do you think we’ll see a rather familiar bad zebra?

@northern haste  
I thought MLP 87-88 were fine and I have high hopes for the Zecora homeland arc in Season 10. I just really did not like this one.
