> yeah, in fact I am checking your 2nd link and the fandom was actually pretty obsessed with war topics, armor, setups for any battle and make it seem more mature by going into that route. 

I think it was also driven by the fact that it was a fantasy setting and many anon simply had little to work with, especially for the first season. 


> indeed. In fact, you can actually imagine a lot of things and epic, if you wanted with all the canon material considered. It has found its own way and the show could actually use it but it´s not the original spirit we are all looking for, or at least, for the first objective.

I remember those earlier on who wanted ta stay within a more canon portrayal of things often had rules that now seem ridiculous like normal unicorns being almost unable to kill things with their magic (which died durring the use of combat magic in the canterlot  wedding)  or the most surface tier innocent world. Amazing what you can do now just with hasbro's canon.

>  I liked that Tirek vs Twilight battle scene but having too much action would bore me as hell. 

For me I love low stakes action mixed in with secondary adventure. Think Canterlot Wedding or when spike got his wings over high tier fanservice. Nice fight but I almost consider it a mistake  would have ta make a whole other post on that though to explain myself and it probably be more fitting in the season 8 thread

> Minuette as well has disappeared from the fandom´s eyes. If she hadn´t appeared in Amending Fences, she would be even less mentioned than this timeline.

Yep. So many side characters now some of the originals have lost their once huge fandoms, not that is a bad thing though.

> It seems that Jetfire has received positive criticism and 19 chapters for a fic written in the golden era, I should learn something from there (yet I know I won´t because I admit that I care more about the fandom state than the content it produces for it for the most part)

Not a bad thing at all. 

> Though it makes you wonder what the actual roots of this fandom were. Sure, /mlp/ was one of them but in terms of fics, art, headcanons....so much diversity in content yet you remember a part of it and probably some /mlp/fags barely care about it.

That is an interesting point to bring up. Though I still hold that th heart of this fandom was shaped by anons from /co/ and /b/ considering who founded the pillars of the fandom. You never know what ya find when looking back. Sometimes I find things that surprise even though I was there. 

> I have begun to care about the cartoon industry and community because of this show. So, my voice only speaks in an outsider view because I have barely watched cartoons since I was 15 or so. 

Ha ha ha. I barely watched cartoons since my early teens and never really got into any of the other fandoms yet I too also have started to be become interested in the industry and will now lurk some in many /co/ places out of curiosity. 

> that project would be like doing a end career work. You would have to put some serious dedication. Even if this show was simple, the amount of content to digest and compare is just overwhelming.

Agreed.
