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. | ||

Thanks for a constant source of happiness and smiles (both the show and the bronies). Also: the Ashleigh Ball video rules! The only people that hate us are the ones that don't understand. Great job keeping an open mind. Why does it still have to be like almost 2 weeks until season 2?! >:\ On September 06 2011 00:34 ChinaLifeXXL wrote: Um, you guys :X + Show Spoiler + I almost cried in episode 3 when Applejack was holding Twilight Sparkle as she was hanging off the cliff and Applejack was just like "Let go. You'll be fine. Trust me." If episode 2 did that to you and this is your first exposure to MLP (you're watching it all for the first time in order), then I'd say you'll be a brony very soon, and a mighty big one at that. | ||

I wonder when they are going to release a DVD / Blu Ray set of the first season, i'm sure they have a lot of interesting behind the scenes videos they can put in there. | ||

I went on a bad trip. The above is a link to the EQD post for the song "Something Broke". It is a 20 minute song detailing Pinkie's descent to insanity leading up to the "Cupcakes" incident. The song itself is not gory for the sake of gory (in fact there is not much gore at all, none directly at any rate). Note: I hate cupcakes with all the hate I can muster. It is a blight on the fandom, but this is so powerful. Cupcakes was a really bad way to introduce a potentially amazing, if very very grimdark, aspect to Pinkie. This is Cupcakes as it should have been. That was awesome... better than Burton's Sweeney Todd I feel (I think it helps when the story is told in twenty minutes rather than one hundred and twenty) | ||

I recommend it to anyone who is showing interest in the fan-created side of the FiM story XD. Just finished that too. Wow. The fun part is we are writing an essay about forgiveness in school right now. My life is complete now that I have cited MLP fanfiction in an essay for school. | ||

Why its hard to get into: 1. You know going into it that it is at least mostly intended for little girls. 2. The intro song reinforces #1 quite a bit. 3. There is NO GOOD starter episode(more on this later). 4. The show is great mostly because of the characters, and characters take time to develop. 5. The first two episodes are alot different then the rest. The above results in a show that is hard to try watching with an open mind the first time, and also requires seeing at LEAST 3-4 episodes imo to really be hooked. Episode 1-2 do a good job of introducing the basics of the characters, but it sucks other then that. However, the rest of the episodes aren't going to be as enjoyable at all if you don't know the characters. Basically, unless this kind of thing is simply... your thing, you need to give it a chance to get you hooked, and alot of people can't do that. Now that I'm hooked, all the episodes are enjoyable end of story. This brings me to why the show is great: 1. The leading characters are diverse, believable and easy to become attached to. The Mane 6 are the reason I enjoy the show so much, just watching them and their interactions is fun as I'm quite invested in them. I love seeing Pinky's bubblyness and super happy fun times attitude. AJs down to earth, country bumpkin attitude (and awesome accent!). Twilight's need to analyze everything and reference books and just keep looking for answers to everything. Fluttershys epic shyness. Rarities refined tastes and obvious distress when others dont act as a proper mare should. And of course Rainbows competitiveness and drive to be the best! On top of that, the characters will surprise you with their diversity and the interactions between them all are spot on and natural feeling. 2. Solid morals behind every episode. Almost every episode manages to truly showcase and reinforce the use of a good moral. This is a good change from typical shows as they can really be taken to heart and help you improve you lookout on some things. 3. FUN, I finish an episode with a smile on my face every time, no matter my mood before hand. Nothing else to say here, its just FUN. 4. It's refreshing and "wholesome" fun. Its just a great break from negativity, violence, all that sort of stuff. This is oh so welcome to me. I have always been a person that likes to help and be overly nice to other people. In this day and age though it can be hard not to become cynical and jaded as I was for quite some time. This really helped me personally get back to how I was when I was a little younger and I feel much better for it. 5. Great music. Obviously subjective but the music routines in the show are great. I don't even care about music in general, but all the songs in this are catchy, and there is so much good fan made music that any genre you like you can find. 6. Good graphics/animation. Its quite visually appealing and is quite sharp. Again, not much to expound upon, its just nice to look at  .7. Community. The brony community really embraces the principals of the show, and that makes for a great, helpful and just overall nice group. See: http://broniesforgood.org/. Hands down the "best" community I have ever been a part of, especially considering its spawned on the internet lol. For me, becoming a Brony really helped me get over being very jaded and a few other things. Im back to volunteering more, helping random strangers whenever I have the chance, and have cut back on general negative things such as drinking alot (not that thats bad, just too much of it when I could be doing better things). I also slightly disconnected from a group of friends that just aren't healthy to be around (idiots, assholes, drunkards etc. Just generally a negative/bad group of people that I enjoyed doing slightly... less then great things with). All in all, it really helped me become a "better" person again and I feel like there is a bit more purpose to my life as I'm giving back alot more. Obviously the above paragraph is a bit specific to me as a person, but im sure the show/fandom has had similar if lesser effects on other peoples lives. It really can be more then just a show to you if you take the principles to heart. That was a little long, so a TL;DR: The characters are great, the morals are strong, its refreshing and good old fashioned enjoyable. It WILL leave you with a smile on your face and feeling good no matter what. All you have to do is open your mind, accept it for what it is and you will <3 it. (That is unless it really just isn't your thing, which is fine ). | ||
