>some attempts I do recall of merging and mixing elements but it was infrequent from my recollections.
I feel like that is essentially what the show is. Now, personally I disliked the Lego Movie (I was a Clutch Powers kid and resented the success the dumb non-canon film had over the REAL Lego experience) but the approach of focusing on the world created with the toys was interesting, and I think that's essentially the jumping off point here, with Faust inspired by the much more interesting childhood games she'd invent with her G1 toys than what the actual show offered. I plucked one of picrel from the wiki, not only was the original plan to basically just literally resurrect G1 Twilight, but if you look closely she's basically just a tone-inverted or darker coloured version of G1. G1 ponies in general tend to go for light manes, darker coats, shetland style. Humans tend to have darker hair than their skin, so I think G4 taking the opposite approach helps to humanise the ponies more. Certainly there's an 'off' quality about the G1 ponies, particularly their colour scheme.

Ahh I see. I remembered the Bridge pun but not that it was your name.
>Is it with pick related?
No, the *other* bridge. The one that turns into a Monster High student. I'm not sure whether Egg Quest reeeee girls are allowed here or not!
>Though I have seem some argue that Twilight shouldn't be counted as the same as Twilight Sparkle
Well, it's true that most G1 named ponies are totally unrelated, coming off of that pre-approved Hasbro name list, but given that Faust originally designed Twilight with Twilight's G1 cutie mark and colour scheme... I just don't buy it personally. She is different, but she's basically Faust's childhood toy come to life at the beginning of the show so it's not really fair to say she's separate from G1 Twilight since Faust's toy was a G1 pony.
