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. ^^

I have no idea who those characters are, but I know that the Moon was ROBBED

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 💔

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!

I think that’s the true definition of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

taking away Mars’ orange coat and Jupiter’s bell bottom pants will never fail to make me punch a hole in the wall

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.

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.

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.

de-yassification at its core 😭

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.

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.

They also should've kept the big ass roller skates, they were iconic.

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

The new designs sucked all of the flavour and personallity out 😭

The Galaxy Girl redesigns for me are an incredibly mixed bag Really hoping official 3.5/4.0 designs will be made someday

Overall, I feel like the main issue is that alot of the character and flavor was lost in the redesigns.

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

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...

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.

I think the issue for me is that 3.0 feels like yet another IP starting to go down the "Minimalism drain" (Especially Moon).

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 liked how big and chunky the roller skates were on the old designs. It just added so much

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!!

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

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.

What they just did is stupid, since Milkyway only got popular because of their gorgeous designs! They robbed us.

The new Venus would be great at Peekaboo

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.

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.

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

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

mars and the moon’s new look hurt me physically and mentally because they are my favorites 😭

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?

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

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

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 😭

Ngl Teen Titans Go and PowerPuff girls really impacted the industry more than people think 😭

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??

The art style reminds me of Powerpuff girls but humanized for a reason

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.

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.

The most upsetting one for me was Saturn. How are you going to remove Saturn’s rings?? That’s practically what makes Saturn Saturn 😭

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 😭😭😭

The shape language on most of the older designs feels so much stronger, same with the fashion. They're just too oversimplified.

I like all the old ones better but I do enjoy seeing more body type differences.

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

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

I miss the old pluto 😢

4:45 even the captions are scared

Redesigned mars looks like se would be the mom of mars!

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? (😭)

Mars and moon designs….. i have no words to express my sadness, I’m am sadder than the moon now…

i have never seen this galaxy girls stuff but the name lauren faust sounds familiar. does anyone know what else lauren faust is in?

in terms of fashion and hair expression, all of these are a pretty major downgrade

Dawg. I was 50 seconds in the video before I realised the designs on the bottom were the _old_ ones. I thought they were the new ones! I feel that her poses in the old one were definitely more energetic and immediately caught my eye.

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.

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 :)

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.

Wow, I didn’t know that there was a Milky way fandom, and also never knew about the 2021 redesigns

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

Unrelated but i LOVE how this video is edited !

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.

I have no clue what this show is or who these characters are, but all I know is that The Moon was robbed of personality

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

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

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.

It would be cool to see them in the new artstyle, because it does have potential for more expressive silhouettes than just monster high-esque copy and paste lineup of tall, thin girls. Some styles and hairs could be updated, but I wish they weren't so drastically changed, like Moon's slit skirt turning into a dress etc.

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.

Honestly the oversimplified design ruined it, i think its okay to change the body types but why take away the charming details ?

I kinda like Moon's new design better🫠

"She sees you when you're sleeping"....alright😰👍 12:33

I hate how they made the mars's design

I think the one that suffered worst from the art style change is Pluto. Given her look as like an edgy rock girl, having all of her edges softened and rounded really hurt the look.

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 ❤️

the way i disagree w almost everything lmaoo,, (i did prefer the sharpness in the org designs)

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.

Oh wow... Another nice and perfectly pleasant design dumbed tf down for no reason. I should stop being surprised

I don’t really like the design change on the clothing, especially Mars. I also agree with Mercury’s hairstyle. I feel like her shorter, more scruffier hair accentuated her personality (not trying to say that boy-short hair is required to look like a tomboy or athlete). I really like the Sun and Pluto the most! Although, I wish that Pluto looked a bit more sharper like her old design. I appreciate Faust’s focus on body diversity, but the whole change on facial features, clothing and hair were not necessary imo.

I’m sorry but, I really much prefer the old designs. I mean yeah the new designs for Venus, Jupiter and Sun were exceptionally well let’s be honest. But there’s just something about the old designs

Jupiter looking like a popsicle stick in her redesign 💀

the moon was such a downgrade omg the hair before was amazing

for me the sun’s redesign is the only one i really truly liked. the others are cute but pale in comparison to the older designs

The moon redesign looks like it was tooken straight out of molly mc gee ⛈

Honestly mars' earings look like school bells

For me they ruined character designs. They look adorable as original ones. Ik nothing specially changed but style is disturbed and ruined.

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.

The hairstyle of the new Neptune is very similar to the hairstyle of Tomo from Azumanga Daioh

MILKY WAY AND THE GALAXY GIRLSS

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

Mercury would have looked cooler with the long track pants that flare out!! It would balance out her silhouette

New designs looks like they came out of Power Puff Girls universe, idk

All the redesigns look good on there own but are bad compared to the originals

My problem with jupiter is her new lips look like the raicial stereotype. (Apologies if i wrote that wrong)

i can absolutely agree with you the redesigns arent bad but i still prefer the old one more, gives them more personality

i miss old moon and venus new sub ❤

Honestly the only Redesigns i really like is milky way and mars, tho its true i prefer the old clothing style and hairs 😞

The moon was done DIRTY
