My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

[Cloud-Boy]

I'm was tempted to go on another fit of psychotic, testosterone-driven rage like I did on the Tokyo Mew Mew topic once.

However, this show turns up some good material for memes, so I might let this one slide.

[Tigriss]

Either you guys jump on the bandwagon more easily than I thought, or there's some inexplicable appeal to this show that I'll never figure out. For crying out loud, I watched the original "My Little Pony" when I was younger.

Wait, wait. I just figured it out. It's Big Cheese's latest plot. He's going to brainwash everyone into getting hooked on the show, then unleash the ponybots. Everyone will be too enamored of the evil equines to stop them, until Big Cheese initiates phase two of his plan, opening a pony-themed restaurant called "Uncle Crow's Family Feedbag" to compete with The Pizza Cat. And that's when our heroes step in to save the day.

And then they are forced to turn the Pizzacat emporium in a Lol cat themed restaurant

Seriously... I can't understand what's the hype... I admit that the series made me laugh a bit but that's all!! My interest just died after the bad sister was forgiven and my wife was just bugging me (You are an adult person; what the hell are you doing watching that??)

Whatever, maybe I'll try it again later...

The old My little Pony was scary as hell. seriously, I'm still terrified of them 13 years later.
also, theres nothing bandwagony about enjoying a nice show

But just as with everything; some people like it, some people don't.

I feel compelled to post this huge image reflecting opinions about the show

are you guys serious? i know a certain 6 yr old girl who likes this show, and it's not even close to the same level of enthusiasm obsession here.
 

You want an honest explaination. See how you emboldend GUYS? That might have something to do with it. It's rebellion. We're guys and we're not supposed to like this.

Something in the formula for this show takes it beyond a mindless piece of prissy crap for little girls. That something is Lauren Faust. Her little spin on it adds these little moments of genious.

[KageReneko]

Now, they should make a series about THIS version

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXoYK4b_q24" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXoYK4b_q24</a>

Anyway, I never had problemas watching "Girl" cartoons, I love Sailor Moon, I watched almost all Candy Candy (Just missed those episodes where she is a nurse at the desert because they're so BORING) and I caught myself following the plot of Jem when I was a kid (Although I watched it because TransFormers would start after Jem)

This version of MLP is good, it has a REAL argument and is this what makes it loom so good; if we compare it with other modern girl series like Bratz (Where the plot is stupid, predictable and brain damaging) or the current version of CareBears (That seems more like a preschool cartoon) we can see that MLP is really interesting... It still being girly but at least the characters and their designs are cool... I especially love the cowgirl pony; she is kinda cute...

[Blackcat]

The horror!

Yeah, I cant draw so i just did a recolor...

[Someone who does Something]

I watch Tokyo Mew Mew, and Cardcaptor Sakura (They really need a parody named Carcaptor Sakura).
But I'm not getting near this, I'm keeping far away, same thing I do with Titanic: The Legend Goes On...

In other news (and because I don't know where to put this) here is someting for all of us to be appalled at.

Just a wee bit off topic there, Mechadon, but yeah, I hate that paper clip....

Fluttershy....representin da Grove Street Fams yo.

[vonhorz]

i like the fact that they make references to previous episodes later.
manticore<->dragon or the huge apple-family (what little girl finds that funny btw?).
however...i have to say that i like that characters pretty much and even thought they are pretty extrem.

[Blackcat]

Is our own fault, we made so much fun of the little guy that Microsoft brought him back....

Oh come on Aster, no need to go at something half-hearted. 


As far as the series, I watched the first few minutes of it before the purple gal got to the town. I'll try watching it a little longer to get a better flavor.

[sans soul]

I don't hate the show, and I have seen bits and pieces of a few episodes. It's nice that my childhood's most favorite thing ever has been successfully remade but... there is such a thing as going overboard. And I also find it funny that you boys enjoy this as much as you do, especially considering you have no knowledge of it's connections to the original. It's kind of adorable and pathetic at the same time.

Seeing as probably 98% of the target audience doesn't have any knowledge of its connections to the original (of which there few to say the least) I don't see why this would be important.
You sound like one of those transformers nerds ranting about the new movies.

Personally, I just enjoy a good show. It's not the first time a show originally intended for girls has become popular with guys you know.

also, you talked about obsession in an earlier post. seeing as this is a forum dedicated to a cartoon that aired the last time like 13 years ago... thumbs up!

[KyoZaber]

You dudes are taking away the wrong thing from Aster's post...

We're now adorable. 
This is going to be the best day ever!

Good point.  

And yes Kyo, you're all adorable.

[edit] except for von... that's just...not adorable.. o_o
