>>/5699/ > a plausible foundation with a somewhat crazy conclusion for April Fools that included a derproll. yeah, I noticed but still I wanted to go deeply as if nothing happened. I clicked on a couple of links before replying, extending autistically the thing to see where it could land. > I do find stuff that surprises me. Early days any of these sometimes conflicting implications would be fanfic fuel the old days of Lyra having an attraction towards humans because she was sitting on a bench like a human. Obviously the scarcity of content lead to create everything almost out of every single detail so that was exactly the dynamic of the early era. Nowadays, it´s in reverse, the fanabse has too much to deal with so much content and a huge world of this kind. > but now many are forgotten and a few weren't terribly known in the "golden age". same with the background ponies. Anyone can recognize Derpy, Octavia or Vinyl Scratch but who recognizes the background ponies of Canterlot Boutique for example or the unicorn that had butterfly wings on 2,4,6 Great. Exactly, barely anyoone out there. > Most I saw on the Spike thrown away line of him on Canterlot business was people considering a excuse to get rid of him for the ep (which is probably true). considering how plot devices work or how Spike was mistreated back in the early days until the 6th season (ironically applies to male characters as well almost simultaneously) and the lore didn´t reach a quarter of what we have to deal nowadays, that line holds lots of irrelevancy. It could have mattered though if they went like they did with Moondancer in Amending Fences though. > I still think it is interesting to look through as sometimes some Season 1 stuff still has a bit of lore implications of old intent. fair enough, in fact Student Counsel revisited the cockatrices and we didn´t see them for a very long time back in Stare Master (though they appeared in School Raze in the Tartarus). So yeah, those old intentions could have been more developed but almost everything relevant was mostly revisited later. > Like Faust not wanting too much tech and therefore insisting the train be pulled by horses (yet even then we still saw stuff like modern paper and Twi's mad scientist computer) oh the irony in her own contradictions. Someone created Feeling Pinkie Keen around season 1 with that modern tech, hello? > Through it obviously wasn't as developed as unified story, more of just a vision for the world and some intent for how it worked on some level. Just as much is early inconsistencies from what was a children's show without that in mind. Which brings me too... I was certainly asking this and why early seasons cannot be taken with the magnifying glass all that much because those episodes were already created without aiming to an adult audience or at least, go to RPG levels of level for developing their stories. Despite not holding season 1 at the top of my ranking, I have a soft spot in that regard because writers back then didn´t expect anything like this.
