The lack of exposition is something I really like about RaMC, many things are left open to interpretation, which is the only upside to the whole thing being really rushed. I love this pilot, especially because of Tirac who is one of my all time favourite cartoon villains from the 80s, alongside the likes of Megatron and a few others, as well as of all time because, when I first began watching the original My Little Pony, you betcha I was not expecting it to start with something as dark as Tirac and everything that surrounded him, especially since most properties from Hasbro weren't that dark up until like, the 1986 Transformers movie. It was cute but not too crazy cartoony.ĭang, a shame I missed out on this thread for not being around often enough I always "aww" when I see the RaMC art style. I would jump for joy if G5 brought back the more anatomically proportionate/believable bodies and horsey muzzles. He was just a shadowy overlord with bad intentions and if done today could be easily given a sophisticated and calculating personality and be a huge threat to the ponies.įinally,I loved Megan's countrygirl design (hated the frilly crap she had to wear in the later series) and the ponies were done in the best art style. He didn't need to be comical or desperate to make an impression. He was flat like most 80s kids show villains but he was so gloomy and threatening. Instead FiM made the pony world look more advanced than the rest of its universeĪnd Tirac was such a cool villain. I feel like G4 tried to do this but never really succeeded. Back then the ponies had their own aesthetic and it served as a great opposite to the grim and grimey world around them. Nowadays the monsters need to be as stylized and cutesy as the ponies. Seeing colorful MLPs going against literal monsters is such a great look. It has the 'Dungeons and Dragons' 80s fantasy that I love and think should be in way more media for girls. With only 50,000 humans left, the only hope for humankind is to locate the mythical "13th Colony" known as Earth before they fall prey to the Cylons.RaMC is still my favorite piece of pony media. But the Galactica was set to be commissioned at the time of the attack, and is hardly an ideal vessel to harbor humanity's last hope. Led by the Colonial warship the battlestar Galactica and its commanding officer William Adama (Edward James Olmos), those survivors fled into deep space. As a result of the attack, the entire human race was nearly destroyed, and only those who were lucky enough to be aboard starships at the time were spared. Though no Cylon envoy would show for the first 39 years, something terrible happened on the 40th anniversary: immediately after a beautiful Cylon in human form appeared on the Armistice Station, the neutral zone was vaporized and a devastating nuclear attack was launched on Caprica and the Twelve Colonies. Over the course of the next four decades, humanity would deploy an envoy to the neutral Armistice Station to meet with a Cylon envoy on each anniversary of the treaty's signing. The Cylons subsequently withdrew into a remote region of deep space, and for the next 40 years, a tense, silent treaty existed between the Cylons and the Twelve Colonies. As a result of the Cylon rebellion, man and machine engaged in a bloody war that would eventually end in stalemate, after which a treaty was signed. Later, the Cylons would become sentient, rebelling against their mortal masters. In the distant future, intelligent robots known as Cylons were created to serve as slaves to the people of the Twelve Colonies on the planet Caprica and to fight humanity's wars.
