Topic is MLP?
Eh, I saw an episode or two a while back. And it's all right I guess, but personally I never got into it.

Heh, I'd join Squidboards if I really wanted, but I think Smashboards and the MG Forums (which I have an account I never use) are the only forums I need.

I never could get into MLP.

In all honest I think the show is good but I never could get that deep into it.
As a guy, I watched it just to see what the fuss was about.

I'm in the same boat as you. I liked it. Thought it was pretty good for a show based on selling merchandise. Decently written and does teach actual morals on friendship and whatever else. If I had kids, I wouldn't mind them watching this.

I don't understand the obsession, though, or how the fanbase came about. I don't think I could respect myself if I started buying merchandise of a show originally aimed at young girls.

And yet strangely enough, I became obsessed with a show like Steven Universe. Except this show was crafted for both male and females to enjoy.

I saw Steven U. I never got into it. I literally cannot see the fuss about it.

it's a cross over. parody of paper mario or mlp, however you want to see it.
cross over = that. It's basically like smash bros, you put totally incompatible stuff together and it fits.

parody = you replicate something in the goal of exagerating the reality so much that it's ridiculous and funny. Like, i know it's computer stuff, but it's funny:

My programming teacher showed us a parody of Windows. This was a warning message saying "your mouse moved, Windows needs to restat to apply this change" :)

Seriously, IT'S SO FREAKING CLEVER!

I'll check when I get home.

Okay but seriously, MK8's rendition of Big Blue is just too good.
I've been listening to it for a while.

This nails i in more details for me why I wasn't as big a fan either.

I see why it is good, I just can't dig that much into it.

Unlike One Piece where I have a burning seething hatred for that anime, I see why this is good and I kind of like it. I just can't label myself a fan of it.

That's not a parody, that's just dumb.

It's MLP draw in the style of a paper mario.

It's a parody by definition.

I watched one episode of Gravity Falls and never got into it

Until recently when I learned that one episode wasn't really a representation of the whole series and I now love the series overall

I'll check, i use name tags so that throws it off a lot.

Online wow,

Lucina 39
Lucario 28
Ganon 27
Zard 19
Lil' Mac 18
Mii fighter 16
Peach 15
Shulk 14
Mii Sword's man 14
Mewtwo 13

I'm willing to bet this is a result of me switching tags a lot lol, on my main without tags Lucario is #1 but still lol at Lucina being #1 for me with my tag on.

WITH DELIBERATE EXAGERATION.

I don't think it was exageration honestly. It's just an universe in another style not compatible, but abstracted to be compatible.

And it's not really dumb. Windows has a very annoying tendancy to actually requires a lot of restarts. That's a joke here and unless you never were bothered by it, from someone who was A LOT, I found it hilarious :)

How far did you go in?

It's one of those shows that starts off slow (but good). It isn't until about episode 12 (Giant Woman) til it started to get better and develop its own qualities and characters that you don't often see in other shows. And it isn't until episodes 25-26 (Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem) when it begins to unravel an overarching plot.

I only though the show was okay at first, too. But it grew on me, and became something I can't stop thinking about everyday.

just saw that one episode where they all went to the beach to play beach volleyball. And I was like, this show seems boring.

*Sees avi* Umh, is it safe to have an avi of that particular artist?

Also welcome back.
Rosalina tho.

I felt that episode was a bit weak myself, so you shouldn't judge the entire show on that episode.

That's what they said when I told the MLP fan base that I saw the CMC episode and they were like "there's better eps." I didn't see anything good past season 2 so. They were wrong.

UGHHHH. You had to start off with a mediocre episode, didn't you? :p

I'd say start from the beginning like any TV show.

If you want a better episode to give you a better taste/understand of what the show's about, I'd try one of these:
  • Episode 16 - Steven the Sword Fighter
  • Episode 12 - Giant Woman
  • Episode 22 - Steven and the Stevens
  • Episode 2 - Laser Light Cannon

It was on TV at the time and I just popped in to see what it was about. Where as Gravity Falls made me fall in love with the show. I can't even think of one bad episode of Gravity Falls.

Squidboards? The hype for Splatoon is getting out of hand.... people are acting like its the next installment of Smash Bros, whereas I just see it as a lame spin on the shooter genre restricted by lack of voice chat, customizable private lobbies, etc.

Not saying Gravity Falls is better or worse, but I'd give SU another shot if I were you.

if you feel like it, just try one the episodes I mentioned online (Watchcartoononline or wherever).

I'm just in with the Splatoon hype because I like squids and people are doing Ika Musume references.
A very valid reason I may say.

I wonder how long it will take someone to question my icon
hint: it isn't anything bad
Why is the naked man attacking that red haired dude in a YMCA? And why isn't the shirtless guy doing anything? Wouldn't this be bad for the business?
