I don't like replacing pinned comments for stuff like this, but it's necessary this time. Anyways...
Some of you guys are absolutely pathetic. Since you weren't smart enough to understand when I said this the first time... I do NOT hate Mars' redesign. I just slightly dislike it, but it's still better than a lot of the other ones. And no, her body itself isn't a problem at all. All bodies are beautiful! I can even relate to her since I'm a little big myself. Also, I literally said it's nice, which is a compliment, and my favorite redesign also happens to have a bigger body. It's hilarious how blind you guys are. Moving on...notice how I said the body _itself_ isn't a problem? That's because I'm just confused why she of all people has it. She's an alien, which means she's not from Earth. Why should she have anatomy that's normal to us Earthlings, then? I'm not saying she should have 4 tentacles, 5 eyes, 20 legs, or something like that, but the old unrealistic body type actually worked in her favor. It's not insane enough to make her look a bit ugly, but it's unusual enough to make her stand out from everyone else with normal bodies. She is the weird one, after all! Too bad you didn't think of that one, huh? As a summary, I'm not sorry you don't understand the basic concept of an alien, and I'm especially not sorry you can't accept that I can criticize anything I want. If you still can't accept this, get off my channel and do something more useful with your life.
To all the normal people who might disagree but get where I'm coming from and respectfully voice their opinions, props to you. ^^
They're all humans? (I never watched the show) I thought they were all kind of aliens (planets) as humans things
@brbiforgotmyhappines Seemingly, yes. We don't know for sure, but she sticks out from the crowd, so that's what I believe. Also, MWGG isn't a show. At least...not yet. 😉
Aa don't worry! I loved reading your thoughts and opinions about the redesigns, in the video. I personally am not one of those said people. :) I tooootally get where you're coming from with Mars, and honestly, every other character, as well. You really payed attention to their design, personality, character in general and rated the redesigns based on how well they fit with the characters' well... Character. Y'know? Good job on that!!
This seems a bit harsh, I personally like mars new body type, and if she’s just an alien like you said then she shouldn’t have a skinny body either, she should have a blob body and tentacles, cause I highly doubt aliens have just a skinny body. No offense though it’s your opinion and you can interpret mars how you want, although I am sorry if your receiving harassment for a bit of miswording.
@@taffycandyton Well, like I said, the old body wasn't too extreme to make her look kind of ugly. However, if you think a blob body _or_ tentacles could have worked, that's alright. It's Lauren Faust. She could probably make it appealing...I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for respecting my opinion, though.
when i saw the moon’s redesign, i knew we LOST HARD… the oversimplified design doesn’t work with most of them, and some of the outfits look just so bland. maybe they were going for more animation friendly designs but the old designs had so much charm and detail and it’s pretty heartbreaking to see them turned into this 💔
I honestly think the original designs were animation friendly as is. They're not too overly detailed and and the proportions are exaggerated so smaller details would be easier to draw. If the show were to happen, it would probably be rigged like how FIM was, so details such as Saturn's hoops would be less of a hassle than if they were to be drawn frame by frame.
I think the redesigns were made to cater to a younger audience? The rounded out art style and less overall edge seems to lean into that, but it just ended up losing a lot of its charm. Appealing to a younger audience doesn't mean getting rid of cool details and outfits (Especially true with Mars).
@@Spamlum i definitely agree, i think pluto’s less defined skulls and mercury’s longer hair are the most prominent examples. and i’m also guessing that these were made with the intent of selling merchandise of? mainly because of the fact that mercury’s hair is longer and saturn’s missing nose ring but yeah, it seems like a major step backwards in terms of their initial designs. i’m sure younger kids would have loved their original designs too
@@SpamlumI 100% agree with what you said about the simplification, but I do believe more complicated details like The Moon or Jupiter's hair, etc. may or may not be pushing it. (The new hair still sucks though)
Edit: Also Pluto and maaybe Saturn and Milky Way. Wow, I didn't take a lot of the girls into account lol
She looks easier to anime, so I don’t mind
I think that’s the true definition of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.
Yeah. From what I've seen, no one even asked for these redesigns.
@@pinkfanatic I kinda hate when companies do stuff out of their minds and turns out downright bad.
@@Infeabblevampire_0292 Lauren Faust isn’t a company.
@@kj6053 Yeah, but they mean companies in general.
Exactly like???
Their designs were fine just the way they were tbh 😕
A note: You can still make chubby characters look sharp and sleek! Just because the character's body type is rounder doesnt really mean everything else has to be too. You can even stylize the body to fit better!
THANK YOU 🙏
thissss
Total drama island. I think...
@@frannygalactica9945 Wdym exactly?
@@pinkfanatic Never watched total drama island. Only saw a few clips and pictures. I like the bold art, but the story isn't really something I'm interested in. Art wise tho...
I have no idea who those characters are, but I know that the Moon was ROBBED
Same, I thought the ones below were the new ones cause they looked better
Same, I don't know what this show is but I feel like she could be my favorite character... But... OH MY GOD, WHAT DID THEY DO TO HER HAIR AND HER CLOTHES. 😭😭Before she looked more elegant 🤧
Yes moon was robbed but so was Uranus she went from stylish books smart to stereotypical geek
The way her hair became a mop like the downgrade is real in this one 😭
@Iwasgoofingaround OOOH you just reminded me that the redesigned Milky Way's hair looks like a mat _and_ a mop 😭
Finally someone who actually came forward to explain all the flaws! It's very agreeable that the redesigns seem to lack charm and are far less energetic than the old designs. But some good new details remain. I might make a video where I "fix" the redesigns.
Honestly, I was thinking of RE-redesigning them too! My pfp is even a RE-redesign of The Moon (well, she's basically just the original)! Though I decided not to continue since I'm lazy and I am a bit attached lol. I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas!
I stopped after Saturn whose drawing is honestly my favorite
It's funny because you inspired me to make this video :)
They also should've kept the big ass roller skates, they were iconic.
taking away Mars’ orange coat and Jupiter’s bell bottom pants will never fail to make me punch a hole in the wall
Isn’t Mars fashion style is wacky and goofy? Cause I don’t see that on the redesign
She feels more like an art teacher
@Heads.in.the.clouds. For real!
@@pinkfanatic listen while I love elementary art teachers and I bet she is sweet she is not really an alien it just looks like she got really into spirit week 😭
@@Heads.in.the.clouds. Yeah. :/
I just feel like now they all look so basic..
Like they lost 90% of their personality, and it feels like they’re going for an audience of 5 year olds with these simple designs.
True! Also your pfp 💀
@@pinkfanatic I know my pfp is absolutely stunning 😍
@@Sorrowe Pfp of the year 🤩
Dude, the big handed/big foot body design of the originals is so perfect for a show where everyone wear roller skates it's ABSURD. The skates are so small in the redesigns, it makes them feel more like an afterthought, rather than a feature uniting the characters. I mean, they're planets for pete's sake! The skates hinted at their revolving nature, made the show's gimmick apparent at a first glance "they represent planets, they skate around like planets revolve". Simple, elegant, beautiful.
Not so much now.
I really MISS cartoon styles when it has sharp outlines and great outstanding sillioette. Im just sick of seeing styles that look like it came cal arts esque these days.
So true. When will people learn to stand out again?
i agree
Then rise of the tmnt is your cup of tea
@@W1z4rd_L1z4rd Oooh I've seen a bit of that before
Dang, why did you have to bring up the "Cal Arts style" argument, that was ages back.
de-yassification at its core 😭
As much as I love Lauren Faust works, these redesigns don't sit right with me. I don't know, the old art style had this special charm for me, but also the old designs seemed much more detailed and related to the planets they were originally intended to represent. In my opinion, Mars got the worst one, her outfit has lost so much of the color palette that originally made her unique and matched her personality. I don't hate the new designs though, some of them look really cool and have some interesting ideas, but overall old designs win in almost every aspect.
Yup. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that she's the same person who made the original designs, plus her other amazing work. However, the redesigns were a collab with another animator, so maybe that played a part in it. I'm really not sure, but either way, I agree with you.
The old ones are better in my opinion but they all are great
Yeah, I agree.
Mars is cute in the redesign but she's also less detailed and doesn't quite represent her personality and traits as well, her design (hair, clothes) should've been more spikey still.
moon has got to be the most devastating one. she looked like a GODDESS in her old design. now she just kinda looks like some random mf
Im just gonna say that i NEED the pink skates and ESPECIALLY the sleeves back on mars. Those orangish-red sleeves made mars's color palette a lot more diverse and it was good to look at. They also gave off the artsy vibe of her personality!
Overall, i feel like they are trying to make the designs more child-like, like most new cartoons, for example by changing the face analogies or the lipstick and also by making the edges smoother. I personally like the more "edgier" edges but i guess nowadays most find smoother edges appealing in cartoons
Another note for Mars, orange would make so much sense to have in her palette since the surface of Mars is that dusty orange color!
One big issue I notice with all the new designs is how unoticeable the roallerskates have become.
The old designs all had the roallerskates very big and visibles. The new ones might as well have regular shoes...
The new designs sucked all of the flavour and personallity out 😭
FRR
These are all lacking the signature style and personality that we all have come to love about Lauren Faust's art. I get that she's trying to incorporate more body types, but these designs just break the flow of what the original was going for just to match what modern cartoons are doing.
The Galaxy Girl redesigns for me are an incredibly mixed bag
Really hoping official 3.5/4.0 designs will be made someday
Same. It's hard when some are good, bad, or just mediocre. I would love 3.5/4.0 designs too. I've been having such a hard time accepting the fact that we may never get the old designs in all their detailed glory. 😢
I liked how big and chunky the roller skates were on the old designs. It just added so much
I think the issue for me is that 3.0 feels like yet another IP starting to go down the "Minimalism drain" (Especially Moon).
1. The loss of big, chunky shoes to teensy little feet feels so counterintuitive. It's a show about girls who skate around, and you're gonna make the skates the least prominent part of the design? Part of the reason why these designs are so loved is because of the focus on their skates. It could've been a niche show about roller skating that maybe only a certain demographic would love; but in a world where modern animation keeps trying to appeal to EVERYONE, this would've be a nice change of pace. (Also, chunky shoes are a fashion trend rn, why didn't they take note of that? The iconic skate designs would've made good merchandise too).
2. The new artstyle looks too childish. The original art and designs looked more geared towards tweens to younger teens, but now it looks like it's for 5 year olds. There's also a loss in shape language and asymmetry with the designs, so now everything feels too uniform and 'corporate-y'. Uranus suffers the worse from the 'childification' of the designs, she looks more like a 12 year old rather than the 'college student' look she had previously.
3. SHOW DON'T TELL is absolutely the key to fixing these designs. There were so many elements that pertained to certain characters' personalities, design inspirations, etc. I'm an artist myself and little details like Jupiter 'Great Red Spot' and Moon's hair go a long way. It's sad to see this kind of stuff sacrificed for the sake of easier animation, but does unique and interesting character design need to be sacrificed for this too?
This has to be one of the best brief but effective argument comments I've seen so far 😊
I very much agree with this opinion. To me every redesign looks so... childish (?) and bland. The Sun and Saturn were so good, though. Also kinda like the eye shape for Neptune
In the early design they all look like a superheroes, from their look and their accesorries that shows more cooler things each of the character. But the new design are more describing that they are your friends and more drawen casually (sorry for my broken english)
9:00
My biggest issue with Uranus is her eyes. Why are they so squinty??? Her mouth is also way too small, yes, but the eyes! I can't help but think she looks like a stereotype of an Asian girl which kinda makes it worse because Uranus's whole thing is that she's smart
OMG yes! I wished I said that earlier because I felt the same way. I really hate how squinted her eyes are. Not as expressive and almost as bad as the removal of The Great Red Spot!
I swear I try to like the redesigns but I keep finding stuff not to like. I've considered making a part 2.
it looks like they squished her eyes to fit in her glasses
@@renga9764 It does. It's so annoying and pointless.
They also somehow made Uranus's skirt shorter than it already looked before
I will never get over how mars was absolutely ROBBED
Overall, I feel like the main issue is that alot of the character and flavor was lost in the redesigns.
I think personally that the main problem is in artstyle. It became less dynamic, edgy and energetic, so that's why I got the feeling that new designs are much "softer" and less charismatic than the old ones. And this style doesn't go well with some Galaxy Girls' personalities(Like Pluto, for example)
You know what? Screw 1:03! I appreciate the diversity but I loved her noodle body 😭
WHY DID THEY MADE THEM ROUND? REGARDLESS OF BODY TYPE THEY CAN STILL BE SHARP!!!! AND WHAT'S WITH THE POSES??? THEY'RE SO BASIC. BRING THE OLD DESIGNS BACK
PREACH 🙌
I genuinely miss the twiggy designs because thats what made them so 2010s and special
Will miss the old ones but atleast they are getting recondition years later
They used to look like teenagers (16 - 19) and now most of them look like tweens… (10 - 12) and a big problem I had is that it almost looks like it’s trying to imitate the power puff girls style, I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or not. Also does anyone else think that the newer Uranus looks like the “smart Asian” stereotype? With the old one it was kinda subtle or you could just think she had slimmer eyes but the newer version is shoving it in your face that she’s asian.
Rereading this comment, I personally find that the Uranus redesign resembles more of the stereotype than Venus. It also doesn't help that she's a straight A student, so...
Otherwise, I agree that Venus' eyes are WAY too slanted and detailed. I hate how so little effort is put into the rest of the body, and then the eyes are all "GIVE ME ATTENTION!!"
@@pinkfanaticI just realized now that I meant to put Uranus not Venus lol 😅
@@weird_person7501 Oooh! That's alr ^^
I think the Mars redesign is adorable, and as a design on it's own it's incredible! The way the colors are spread through the outfit are amazing and her body type compliments her hair shape wonderfully. However it conveys absolutely no information about the character, in fact it portrays wrong information. As you said she looks like a kindergartner teacher, and that's just not Mars at all. The old design had a beautiful use of color theory and subtle details to portray her personality. Honestly, I think Mars' old look would be adorable in the new artstyle with the new body type.
As someone who has never even heard of Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls until this video appeared in my recommendeds, I liked how 'spunky(?)' the old Mars design looked, with her fuzzy orange jacket and crop top
Her redesign is alr on its own but kind of a dial back compared to the old
right?! i can see her old design perfectly on her new body! i dont get why they had to make her look so basic
4:27 I dont like how Mercury looked more calmer and more caring, Sorta like she WAS caring. Her hair that went longer was a issue because Mercury, well doesnt care about anything like that. And she looked WAY too bland. Like she doesnt have a personality. Old design Mercury however, Was more expressive, and resembled the uncaring competitive childhood stereotype PERFECTLY. And they made old design Mercurys ear-wings into wing EARRINGS! I liked the fantasy feel to her, and they completely removed that!
Positives: I liked how they removed her lipstick. They feel more natural, and felt more sporty.
I LOVED how they made Mercurys tall rollerskates into more sporty ones. I mean, you can still see the little circles but they were still so goood!!
I'm personally miffed about the change from short hair to longer hair. What is wrong with giving female characters short hair that isn't a bob? Literally the one female character in kids animation with short hair that I can name is Gwen Tennyson. I really wish more fem characters in kids animation had short, pixie cut hair.
I also feel like some of the changes were made so that Mercury didn't look too similar to Rainbow Dash, but giving her longer hair completely ruins it. She legitimately just looks like an alternative Equestria Girls RD
Mercury's redesign kinda looks like Chell from Portal
Ngl Teen Titans Go and PowerPuff girls really impacted the industry more than people think 😭
By The Powerpuff Girls, do you mean the reboot? The original is way better.
@@pinkfanatic yes the reboot! It feels as if most cartoons go for that look or they try to be cocomelon and do 3D animation (aka the new Dora) I miss the small details cartoons had, everything feels to be getting simpler and I don’t think that’s a good thing…
I’m so glad I’m not the only who knew about this and I am sadden by some of these changes done to these characters.
Same. I felt like so many people were blindly praising the redesigns without realizing how little sense they make.
@@pinkfanatic Yes!
I knew about Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls years ago and finally came back after more the 12 years. And I came back to see those weird redesigns?
Some are ok in little details but I feel as if they changed the characters to reflect the times we’re in.
@@MelaninSweetie Wow! A true MWGG veteran! You dropped this 👑
In terms of modernization, I'm with you. Something about the fashion doesn't feel very extreme and unique anymore. It gives a look into how bad fashion has become.
I know this is bad, but one reason I wish the show got accepted is so we would never get those redesigns, like, ever. I would rather have designs with no body diversity that make sense rather than diverse ones that make no sense at all. I understand that some redesigns are okay...but that's how they are at best.
@@pinkfanatic Right?!
I love that even though I wear dark colored clothing and that my main vibe girls are moon, pluto, saturn, jupiter, mars, and eris. I still love the designs of all the girls especially with how their names correspond with mythology.
@@MelaninSweetie Mhm! (sorry for the late reply)
The new Venus would be great at Peekaboo
STOP..
New mars looks like the mom of herself!
@@-TWOS_BIGGEST_FAN_EVER- Yup!
@@agatebluewhy?
@@GemCB7 It's just a funny way to agree with how true my comment is ^^
mars and the moon’s new look hurt me physically and mentally because they are my favorites 😭
And I don’t want to sound like a giant karen, but I really like the sharpness of the older designs, like Pluto with round shapes does NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT sit right with for me :/
Saturns rings ARE GOONE NOOOOAOoooOoOoOoOooOOo
And I really dislike the removal of Mars’s sort of puffy orange sleeves, they were the reason why I liked mars in the first place, because her clothes were exotic
Venus isn’t that bad in my opinion tbh
Jupiters pants from the older design kinda fit her because she’s supposed to be a hippie i think… and the red mark on her head needs to come back.
I also want Uranus’s sleeves back
But I absolutely LOOOVOVCEEEE the new design for the sun because it matches her personality more in my opinion
Mercury and Milky Way were so-so for me
The robbed everything from the moon 😭 WHYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…….
i liked milky ways og design better, the way the hair is cut looks more unique and gives a more interesting silhouette imo. also the og poses were a lot more expressive and feels more connected the way that shes actually looking at the viewer. i fully agree with your critique of the new style doesnt give off the same edge and it feels like another nickelodeon show in that aspect, looks like it was a knockoff steven universe.
as for the sun, i feel like it was *alright.* i honestly prefer the personality the og gave with her being bright, warm, funny, and comforting. the redesign just doesnt give off the same energy.
NOW FOR MOON.. my favorite character with my least favorite redesign. they got rid of her signature dress...they ruined her hair..she looks like a side character who showed up twice and cried. the og gives off more fluttershh, kind, quiet, the redesign gives off more over dramatic, too sensitive and its just not the same.
not much to say abt mercury, but i just cant really get behind the new design..it looks wrong??
getting a bit tired of editing this but eyshsjshjs
I think I'm biased because im a huge fan of sharp angles and sharp cartoon styles so just having everything ROUNDED out made it look bad immediately even if it was a fine reDesign
The most upsetting one for me was Saturn. How are you going to remove Saturn’s rings?? That’s practically what makes Saturn Saturn 😭
EXACTLY! I STRUGGLE to think of reasons why they're completely gone now. Like, how does she have so many to the point where she has a BELLY BUTTON ring, but now she has NONE? There's literally no reason for this. It's so dumb and frustrating.
MOON?? WHAT HAPPENED TO MOON 😭😭 look im no great artist, but i feel like the old version of moon looks like the improvised version of the new one 😭😭😭
Actually, after seeing all these "redesigns" to the end.. ALL the old one looks like a redesign from the new version 💀💀
Mars is the RED PLANET and in the new design theres LITERALLY not a single bit of red or orange in her new design? I get that she’s supposed to be an alien, but they did that perfectly in her old design with the orange jacket, which not only fit her personality perfectly but also gives her something that resembles the actual planet.
I also dislike the cutesy-ness(?) of all the new designs, and especially the big chunky skates. The skates were what tied everything together but now they just look like shoes with wheels
Man most of these redesigns just kinda make me sad, not that they're necessarily bad, they just don't have the same charm as the old ones, they feel sorta bland. Plus I really miss characters with angles, idk there's just something appealing about sharp angles on cartoons.
What they just did is stupid, since Milkyway only got popular because of their gorgeous designs! They robbed us.
For me they ruined character designs. They look adorable as original ones. Ik nothing specially changed but style is disturbed and ruined.
Ikr? I wish I said this in the video but the redesigns are WAY too simple for SPACE, the most complicated thing ever
I agree with you! I think the only redesign I actually like better than the original is the sun, otherwise I prefer all the originals. Its nice that they have more diverse body types, but in general its disappointing how less detailed they all are and how watered down they look. The style is so much rounder than before and they all look much younger. The original feels more like a series for teens, and the new designs look distinctly like a show for little kids. Anyone can have their opinions about the designs, but I totally agree with your takes.
I think one of my biggest problems with the redesigns was the artstyle change, I feel like the shaper style and the chunkier roller skates made them feel a lot more unique and cool and now even for the few characters designs who didn’t change that much it still feels worse because the more basic artstyle makes it constantly feel like they’re missing something.
I prefer the old designs and the chibis, Neptune looks like a literal child
I’m not saying every girl had to be skinny but the skinny legs with big roller skates made them look weird in a good way.
Old designs give nostalgia. Now they are just. Kinda blank. Also their eyes. They dont have much expression. Although i do like saturns redesign even if its nothing like the planet.
My problem with Uranus is that I'm not getting any spacey, cosmic vibes from her design. She's really cute, but she looks like she fits in more in a slice-of-life cartoon
in terms of fashion and hair expression, all of these are a pretty major downgrade
4:50 I absolutely agree with this one! I dont like how its so unbalanced.
Negatives:
The dress in redesign Venus looks so bland. I mean, Yeah old design Venus also had a bland one, But the heart in the dress in old design Venus made it have lot of depth then it should be.
Venus’s eyes are so.. SLANTED! It looks like she has a eye disease. Old design Venus had more straight eyes that really added to her design as it feels alot more graceful, Like.. she was calm..
I absolutely hated how her earrings are so big! Just like the eyes, It feels unbalanced. It’s literally bigger then the body!
Positives:
None. Literally, None. Im sorry but it’s just too horrible.
I agree with the positives! Originally some designs weren't going to have positives at all, but I felt like it was too rude so I used "they didn't change that much" as a placeholder.
Venus - 0/10
Old style and outfits + New body types = PERFECT!
YES! Besides a few, I felt like the outfit changes were SO unnecessary. ^^
what i don't like is THE ROLLER SKATES BEING SMALLER😭
Mars and moon designs….. i have no words to express my sadness, I’m am sadder than the moon now…
I like all the old ones better but I do enjoy seeing more body type differences.
Something I don’t like which I feel that was quite important for recognizing the show was the roller skates, in the older design, the roller skates had the essence and influence of the show, but in the new design, they are almost unnoticeable and look like toys. Also, is it me or does the new design of Uranus look like Edna from The Incredibles? (😭)
Redesigned mars looks like se would be the mom of mars!
these criticisms are so real!! i think the new designs are nice but they definitely feel diluted compared to the old ones. also i don't get why a lot of redesign/reboot designs are just rounder in general (clone high, powerpuff girls)? it feels like character designers have become allergic to sharp angles
i do like mars a lot though, even though it doesnt really fit with the personality i still think she looks cute :)
they went from panty and stocking with gaterbelt + monster high to being powerpuff girls who had bath fashion sense
I really like it when stuff has sharp edges 10:29
And usually shark edges display stuff like being edgy or energetic which Pluto is so the sharp lines need to come back for her
Moon looks like a little girl, I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be teens so i feel they should dress a bit more maturely, i mean she looks dramatic in her old design, in her new one she looks just shy
I don't have much of a problem with Jupiter's redesign but why did they have to go full on hippie with her?
Before she had more of a soul feel to her but exchanging the lightning earring for peace signs just kinda felt wrong to me.
If they ever had the Earth made into a character I feel like she'd be more of a hippie than Jupiter considering the fact that Earth day is supposed to be a day combating pollution which is very in character to the ideal hippie trope.
I just don’t really get WHY jupiter got changed to peace signs, like why? The planets whole thing is that it has big storms
Makes me wonder what Jupiter does
3:11 IS THAT EVEN THE SAME PERSON
Honestly, I quite like the Jupiter redesign. The unique head shape helps personify her more and makes her stand out. The dress helps a lot to make her less lopsided, as I noticed that in the original she's very top-heavy, something bad for a roller skater. I also love how it makes the Jupiter pattern stand out more and isn't as awkward and bright, where it was sort of cluttered being right on top of her roller skates, a bright area of the design. I do agree the hair looks worse though, it's extremely flat.
6:36 I hate this redesign
Wished Lauren Faust's kept the sharp/zigzag line for the redesign. It was the charm! She even uses them for Them's Fightin' Herds! Why not here too?
For me, the biggest offense are Mars, Moon, Pluto and Uranus. Mars is obvious because she lack her colorful, kooky feel. Like others says, she looks like a teacher. I hate how her hair are poofy.
For Moon, you don't get the poetess, melancholic vibe. She is now a sad little girl. I miss her dress.
Pluto is the first character to have a redesign and boy, I already hate it! Why is her hair poofy? She is mean to be a hardcore punk/goth rock girl! The old hair is so much better for movement!
And last but not least, Uranus. My god, Uranus, what did she do to her? She become a stereotypical nerd girl with her straight down hair and Asian face. Twilight is also a smart girl with straight hair but she doesn't go overly nerdy and her mane look like book spines, a reference on how she is smart, resourceful and organized. Uranus is mean to be a break out of smart characters! She is not only smart but determined (or ambitious as you says), wanting to put her knowledge for the greater good! Far from the isolating, anti-social bookworm image.
Overall, the redesign are forgettable. The only one I like is Saturn.
Man I miss the massive big roller skates:(
mostly they arent so bad. But jupiter.. oh how low it fell. the removal of bangs, the long skirt and the change of the earrings sucks.
About 7:01, I forgot to take the bottom of Jupiter's pants into consideration. They're fine too since they don't take up that much space either. I also forgot to exclude The Sun, Uranus, and again, Jupiter when it came to clothing symbols.
"She sees you when you're sleeping"....alright😰👍
12:33
HAHA SOMEONE FINALLY FOUND IT
6:13 “why would a literal alien need a realistic body type?” LITERALLY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS WITH THE NEW MONSTER HIGH DESIGNS THEYRE NOT EVEN HUMANS IT DOESNT MATTER😭
4:45 even the captions are scared
OMG I DIDN'T SEE THAT UNTIL NOW 💀💀
dude i miss the old legs 😭 THE SKATES USED TO BE SO COOL
The shape language on most of the older designs feels so much stronger, same with the fashion. They're just too oversimplified.
Honestly the oversimplified design ruined it, i think its okay to change the body types but why take away the charming details ?
I miss the old pluto 😢
i miss her sharp janky looking hair, it really added to the whole punk rock aesthetic she had
the way i disagree w almost everything lmaoo,, (i did prefer the sharpness in the org designs)
my least favs r pluto n mars. i really odnt have a problem with making characters chubby but it doesnt suit them at ALL. plutos redesign is awful, her hair is so bad n no goth grunge emo girl would ever have that style. it should be sharp.
Ngl I like the old style more
11:55 “2014 wasn’t that long ago” 2014 was 10 years ago…
Well, the 2010s were the last full decade we've had compared to the other ones, so it's more recent than the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, etc. The 2010s is when we really started to see particular trends that would shape modern cartoons.
Mars done so dirty, made her not look like an alien
She cant look basic like that
3:06 yes the moon
as a moon lover I think I agree the opinion a little bit bit I miss her old design
BUTTTTTT I don't like the new design like, seriously the new design is look bad because i don't like it because the hair need some details like shading the bangs or something and te poses are not dramatic poses like seriously you need to make it MORE DRAMATIC than the old pose
(i don't hate on the old design i love the old design)
and the dress is not dramatic is just a cute little bit dramatic thing or something and btw my opinion, the old design is BETTER than new design because i miss the old designs man... :( but anyways thanks for reading and nice video btw.
edit: I agree we need the lipstick back
I keep editing my comment cuz idk like changing the opinion or something lol
but no hate please and thank you and my opinions are can be rude or nice or anything else like something so yeah anyways I enjoyed the video a lot.
@@rainbowcat26It's alr! Btw, there's this weird glitch on my screen where the heart on your comment disappears when you edit it so I'll keep track of that
@@pinkfanatictysm tho :)
I feel bad because you a virus on your screen but, it's okay :)
God i actually really don't like the redesigns, i dont like them at all. They all look so, cutesy and babyish, i really dont understand why all cartoon remakes make them from cool to babyish, it sucks, i dont get why they did it with mwgg too..
I especially hate Mars' new design, she lost her goofiness :( and Moon, she looks so simple and a lot less elegant and mature.. And Mercury, she looks so girly now, i loved her a lot more with her short boyish hair, it suited her so well
I only like Uranus and Saturns redesigns
Hopefully they redesign them again
I don’t even know much about what this is but I saw all the video and now I’m intrigued and I think I found a new hyper fixation lol This video is really well explained and made understand little bits of the characters I don’t have the context of, wich is great! I’m sad this aren’t the best designs Lauren Faust has created though, I hope her and the team can actually hear the criticism because I think the new designs have a lot of potential but clearly need fixing :3 Great video ❤️
I loved how each part of the design had a motif or purpose to it, like mercury's metallic clothes to represent the literal element, or how the lightning earrings and symbol for jupiter represent the god, but these redesigns negate almost all of that. There isn't as much thought into the designs are they used to be.
You can make them have different body types without making the style rounded or the skates smaller………
All the redesigns look good on there own but are bad compared to the originals
PLUTO WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOUR HAIR MY GIRL 😓
I like the older designs
WHY DIDNT THEY JUST MAKE MOON BLUE😭 AND THEY TOOK HER HAIR
i have never seen this galaxy girls stuff but the name lauren faust sounds familiar. does anyone know what else lauren faust is in?
She created MLP (it would never exist without MWGG!), contributed to The PowerPuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, a ton of stuff
@@pinkfanatic that’s why the style looked so familiar
@@pinkfanaticalso DC Superhero Girls
They mlp-ified them so much. Moon is the most obvious bc she looks like fluttershy. Its so weird and stupid
ooh i def. like the old sharper style better! its more detailed too and the new redesign probably seems easier to animate. i also have a feeling the redesign seems cuter and more trendy in terms of toys etc.
the older poses were more exaggerated and dynamic, these went kinda lost in the redesigns, but I can see how they went simplified, looks like they could fit right in an animated show
i really liked how some of the characters had bigger bodies but in some cases I just didn't, I think the only body ignorance network that really captivated me was the sun
the new designs just feel so plain and lifeless now- i weirdly prefer the old unrealistically skinny bodies they had, also they rllyyyy messed up mars pluto and jupiter omg
This video has more views than mars the not so artistic
And it has less views than "MWGG IS BACK"
