No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. | ||

There must be things you personally hate but can acknowledge the work's quality and the legitimacy of fan support. For me: Halo, Wuthering Heights, The Wire, Citizen Kane .. | ||

![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BcSIv5FxwiQ/ThRK5hITARI/AAAAAAAAHDs/KxNrRQI4AAs/s1600/group.jpg) In this picture you can find one girl, one midget, one guy holding what appears to be a pen in his mouth And a guy in a slick suit. Unfortunately I'd rather self insert a catheter than watch this. I'd love it if someone could explain to me what the hell is going on. This has left me very confused. | ||

I'll be honest, the first four are not the best representation of the series, its how a lot of us started, but perhaps a better introduction would be #14, #11 or maybe even #25, either way, you at least tried it out ^_^ | ||

The reason a lot of people watch MLP is not so much the character development and plot. Those are both essentially par for the course. Replace the ponies with normal anime-ish characters and the entire thing is decidedly average. The atmosphere is what makes the difference, which is what I suspect to be the cause of the huge divide in opinions. | ||

Unfortunately I'd rather self insert a catheter than watch this. I'd love it if someone could explain to me what the hell is going on. This has left me very confused. Basically, the reason people like this show is due to the mixture of feelings. The fear of getting discovered by someone you know. The childish feeling of watching such an innocent show, remembering your own childhood The laughter of mixing "internet"(your information) with the show(ex. one character is seen as a pure Troll, and even nicknamed Trollestia) The optimistic feeling that comes from the message that the show spreads - which is about friendship and how everything can be solved with it, instead of the usual "everyone is a dick, everyone die, everyone kills" you get from your everyday newspaper. Think about watching "Friends". And finally, the stereotypes. There is ALWAYS someone who is very smart(Twilight), tries as hard as possible to be pretty/beautiful/handsome/perfect(Rarity), someone who you can always count on(Applejack), someone who is extremely competitive(Rainbow Dash), someone who is introspective and afraid of everything[emotionallly](Fluttershy), and finally, someone who is completely non-sense(Pinkie Pie). Although all of this is common for a normal cartoon, MLP somehow uses that in a very different, comical and silly way that just captivates the usual viewer. Also, if you don't know why people do something, remember that they do it for the lulz. | ||

The overall flow of the show has some problems though, there needs to be more continuity between episodes, I always get sad when they introduce a side character in one episode and never bring them back for any other, or introduce a concept such as "pinky sense" and never mention it again. I'm also disappointed at the lack of male characters in the main cast and there's no real reason why they couldn't add more to make their peripheral demographic a bit less so. Still, it's a near perfect retro cartoon I really enjoy regardless, even if I'm not really a part of this whole "brony" shit that's going on the internet. Looking forward to the second season. | ||

The guy wearing top hat who's staring into your soul. Honestly, I first started watching the show because I loved the novelty of thinking "ahaha, I'm watching My Little Pony". That wore off after a while and I actually started really liking the show, though after a period of a couple months my interest in ponies has dwindled to ambivalence. It's an okay show. The best part is the facial expressions >_> | ||
