I think they’re ok. They serve their respective purposes.
If what people really want are more defined background characters, that’s gonna be difficult because:
a. It would require to make a character based on a specific 3d model, and even with shortcuts, it’s a time consuming process.
b. I think we need to wait until we get an episode that has these types of characters, some equivalents of Vinyl Scratch, Derpy Hooves, Octavia, Lyra Heartstrings, etc.
If I have to complain something about the background characters, it’s that there’s something about the model that feels off in some shots. Maybe it’s related to the use of textures, the use of shades, the use of occlusion… I don’t exactly know, but hopefully the next episodes are gonna have a better production quality. Not necessarily in the second episode, but in five episodes or something like that.
