what are the FIM ponies doing on YouTube in 2008 bruhhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQihvjcmrw4
>>43264439thats even before 2009
the designs were out for some time already
>>43264439oh damn i thought the show's concepts didn't start until 2009
>>43264439Bow to the ultimate oldfag: Kankan Mahadi
>>43264441Honestly it kinda makes more sense for Fluttershy to be an earth pony and Pinkie to be a pegasus.
>>43264457It does, but that's why I like them switching it around.
>>43264439>video edited to include new ponies>original date stayed
>>43264456>original oldfag is a furryuh oh
>>43264439So basically this is the first G4 video tribute ever (kinda)
>>43264469Most of them are, yes
>>43264467YouTube doesn't work like that.Even their on-site editor uploads the edit as an entirely new video.
>>43264469>>43264474do you prefer the autistic cartoon background oldfag or the autistic furry background oldfag?
>>43264439Lauren posted that image in September 2008.https://web.archive.org/web/20090216233227/http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com:80/art/My-Little-Pony-quot-Applejack-quot-97416475Neat find, anon. this is probably the first video on youtube featuring a G4 character design
>>43264480Interesting stuff. On another note, I'm honestly glad the copyright issue happened because the new color palettes look way more pleasing than most of the G1 ones.
>>43264499Absolutely, the final versions have way more appeal.
I saw a 20 year old youtube video and it made me want to die.
>>43264519Twilight Twinkle is still precious.
>>43264480Littleshy found it, he has an entire Google doc of the oldest mlp videos.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_kAxJhcbHLvE1YeyWHj2KjgOcgQMC84wDoavzeLkpx8/edit?usp=drivesdk
>>43264480Yeah. these things take time, like if Lauren posted this in 2008, probably Hasbro hired her in 2007.
>>43264526Me at the zoo turned 21 a month ago
>>43264475I've seen it work before like that but it was a big channel and not some nobody.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhODBFQ2-bQIf you put this in Wayback Machine it's a completely different video.
>>43264614Either way it doesn't apply to that video, they're just referencing an earlier video that's also still on their channel which doesn't yet have Faust's dA pics because it slightly predates them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhQTIPsdEmkThis one also has comments enabled.
>>43264526>tfw I'm 20
>>43264709I'm 24. It doesn't get any better.
>>43264709You should try getting older.
>>43264713why would I want to be older?
>>43264713he's working on it every day
>>43264709I worked with a kid around your age back at my old job. Fella was super into those chinese cartoons and would talk to me about them sometimes. I've never heard of the stuff he was watching, and the same was true for him whenever I would bring up the ones I used to watch.That kid made me feel real fuckin old and so are you. Please stop.
>>43264743>Please stop.Stop what exactly? Posting on a board for a cartoon I watched as a kid?
>>43264751That wasn't directed at you specifically. Keep enjoying ponies. I'm angry at entropy, not you.
>>43264709I'm so fucking old kill me now
>>43264709>>43264712I'm 40 and feel almost exactly like I did at 25.Just don't get fat ever and stay reasonably fit. Health is the most important fucking thing. Good luck to you guys.
>>43264439Didn't Faust post the G4 designs way back in 2006 as G1 fanart?
>>43265230Oh and you must have hobbies to keep your morale up. Without hobbies that give you happy feels it's tough.
>>43264457Yeah, which is why I like that they're playing against their racial stereotypes rather than reinforcing them. You already have Applejack and Rainbow Dash to be the model earth and pegasus, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy offer the counterbalance.Unlike Twilight and Rarity which both display both stereotypes of unicorns. Either scholars with magic, or stuck-up assholes.
>>43264467>video is titled "2nd edition">anon thinks the description means the same video was edited>youtube didn't even have a video editor in 2008retardation is a hell of a drug.
>>43264457>>43265250Actually Ponkas sunny optimism and simple happy lifestyle makes it really cute and fitting for her to be an earth pony. Her and Applejack capture certain sides of Ponyville culture very very well and are excellent worldbuilding. Flutters though basically decided to live as a earth pony, connection to nature and all. (Pinkie has this too, given the beauty of nature is really empowering to her and the thing that caused her to wake up and become happy enough to get her cutie mark.)
>>43264480I love the comments>i can't wait to figure out why you drawing all the ponays!>Cute! I would have loved to watch a MLP cartoon in this style <3
>>43264709MY LAWN.
>>43264709You have to be 18 to post on 4chan.
>>43264456There's another furry who had an alicorn OC back in 2007 btw.There were pony fans before FiM. Always been.>>43264480That means she started working on the concepts years before. Who knows! 2002? 2003? What if MLP:fiM came out traditionally animated like Samurai Jack or Invader Zim?
>>43266194IZ had some 3D animation in it though.
This got me thinking, how old is this Trixie concept art then? 2008 or 2009?
>>43264480>Firefly is SSKEK
>>43264594Lauren once said that Hasbro hired her in response to the success of the first live-action Transformers movie in 2007. They wanted her to be the Michael Bay of My Little Pony.
>>43266870>They wanted her to be the Michael Bay of My Little Ponyshe was rather successful in that rule desu
>>43266387I'm gonna guess early '09. '08 was Lauren coming up with stuff solo whereas '09 was when she started actually developing the show with others, and iirc Trixie was someone else's idea.
>>43264457I'd say Fluttershy is much better as a pegasus with her flighty personality and how she serves as a good foil to RD. RD and Pinkie both being Pegasi puts too much impulse energy in with wings. Having Pinkie serve as silly counter to AJ also makes Earth ponies so much more "we live a day at a time and enjoy each one" in different ways. Twilight and Rarity both being prim and proper with no solid foiling of the other's personality brings down unicorns to a stereotype that the other races don't get and why unicorns get flak for that.
>>43264480Some of the changes where magnificent.I’d Rainbow Dash especially.The blue+rainbow mane fits better the idea of her character.And its also great how they changed her from the G3 version, where she was basically G4 Rarity with a wig.Rainbow DASH as a name fits better for a sporty and bratty tomboy rather than an elegant stylist
>>43266870> response to the success of the first live-action Transformers movie in 2007. They wanted her to be the Michael Bay of My Little PonyJesus CLOPPING christ!So that hack managed to make something good despite it being completely unrelated with his shitty movies
>>43267144Bayformers trilogy and Prime were the second peak of the franchise, right after G1, you stupid nigger.
>>43267144The first movie was pretty neat, the effects also hold up incredibly.
>>43266387isnt old Trixie concept art when they had the idea that Trixie was a stallion first?
>>43267766Faust made Trixie a stallion, but Hasbro wanted her to be a mare.
>>43267766>>43267770Trixie was never a stallion. The original script for Boast Busters was pitched to have a "boastful male unicorn" as the antagonist of the episode. Then Chris Savino came up with the idea for Trixie's character, and Lauren loved it so she changed the script. There was never a "male Trixie".
>>43267886I hope you're this same anon, because I've had your post screencapped since last year just in case I come across a retard who thinks Trixie was gonna have a cock.
>>43267892Yup, that was my post.
>>43267886>Then Chris Savino came up with the idea for Trixie's character>same guy who made the most jewish cartoon ever aka The Loud House came up with Trixiewtf
>>43267886>>43267892>>43267898Based and doing Gods work. Remember to never stop dabbing on all 'Trixie was a guy a-and uhm is actually le trans!' faggots until the end of time.
>>43264566Dr Fluttershy original link seems to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgYnWtCC-Xkthanks eqd, you're good for something sometimes
>>43267886Ah okay, based. Troon Trixie headcanon sunk.
>>43267136>And its also great how they changed her from the G3 version, where she was basically G4 Rarity with a wig.
>>43268085bro what is this file name
>>43268617It's just an observation.
>>43268617The truth, duh.
>>43268617File name explains what's going on.
>>43264709Damn so you were like 4 or 5 when FiM first came out?
