G3 Retro G1 Ponies by Hasbro & "Throwback Thursday" show -- Information thread

I am totally slow... just now got my retro set = cool that the box rotates
I’m still debating on buying it, so your not that behind. ;p lol
 
You know what would be great? We've already got Twilight and Applejack retro ponies. It'd be great to do a RaMC pack with Moondancer, Glory, Bowtie, Baby Ember, Cotton Candy, Firefly and Medley.

An EFC pack with Powder, Sparkler, Baby Moondancer, Sundance, Posey and Skydancer.

MLP The Movie Pack with Fizzy, Gusty, Buttons, Wind Whistler, Lofty, Baby Lickety-split, Shady and Magic Star.

And a Tales pack with Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover, Bon Bon, Teddy, Lancer and Ace.

Wouldn't they look cute that little?

I clicked one episode of the Retro Pony Show and had to stop watching less than halfway through because of the excessively snide commentary and jab at the singing. Who wrote that junk? EQD?

You forgot someone important for that retraux movie pack :p Granted, I dunno how they'd do her.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. It angers me a bit, honestly! And it also makes me wonder: who is this for? What audience did they have in mind?

It's not for us collectors, because why else would they be so unnecessarily aggressive towards the old show? I think we can see it in its time and we love it for what it is. It can't be for little kids either - the text on the screen is appears and dissapears too quickly for that, and the jokes seem to be written for adults.
I know that like way in 2015 there was a big group of bronies (the kind who only watched G4) who joked around and hated on the old shows because they were too "unwachtable" and too "girly" (really? go figure.) But it can't really be for them either, right? G4 ended, and bronycon too. Why pander to an audience that doesn't exist anymore? I'm just at a complete loss trying to think of who is supposed to watch this show and enjoy it.
