My Little Pony (TV series): Difference between revisions

Many of the shows' characters would be repurposed for later generations, most notable Applejack becoming one of the main characters in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]''. A number of its other characters would also serve as inspirations, such as {{MLP|Firefly}} for {{FIM|Rainow Dash}} and [[Twilight (unicorn)|Twilight]] for {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}}. A girl who resembled Megan appeared in the later half of ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' media in background shots, and the entire Williams' family was once mentioned to be staff members at [[Canterlot High School]].<ref>"[[The Fall of Sunset Shimmer]]"</ref>

The web series ''[[My Little Pony: The Retro Show]]'' had a segment known as "[[Behind the Magic]]" that 'retconned' the entire show as being an in-universe production, with the characters being played by 'real' actors. In one such segment, it was apparently revealed that the actress that 'played' Megan (not to be confused with [[Bettina Bush]], her actual actress) was apparently a rude, controlling and mean-spirited jerk who had an affair with Spike and was later killed on set after her head was eaten by a crocodile. This series was not well received.

The series' continuity was briefly revived for the comic book ''[[My Little Pony: Generations]]'', which served as a crossover between Generation 1 and 4.
