This is like beating a dead my little pony with a stick.
But wouldn't that be a good thing?
And MLP is one of the greatest shows ever to come out in years. Money says you haven't even given it a proper chance. It took me like 4 episodes for me to finally like this
You can like the show all you want, but calling it "one of the greatest shows ever to come out in years" is a stretch. (Also, I think you mean MLP: Friendship Is Magic, because MLP has been around since the '80s.)
Also I didn't watch it extensively but I watched the first two episodes after this whole craze began so I could say I gave it a shot. Wasn't good, wasn't terrible, but it was incredibly average and I was not inspired to watch any more of it.
There are a number of shows I
want to watch that require me to use my computer that I have access to right now but I haven't watched because it requires me to dedicate my entire laptop and most of my attention to the show. If something doesn't interest me in the first few episodes, I'm not going to spend more time watching it.
Pshhhh I watch the History channel. GET YOUR EDUCATION ON!!!!!!! Also anime is good.
I approve of this post. History is
awesome. And anime is cool.
But that's why makes this show great, unlike all the ol MLP cartoons where every episode is a party with giggly bimbos with hardly any plot at all aside from ruining a cake or cupcakes, this show isn't that girly. There plot in these episodes, not every episode is centered on parties, and besides Twilight Sparkle, every pony is ****ing amazing. I mean sure, this show has cupcakes and rainbows, but they don't make them the focus of each episode and that's to be expected seeing as it's MLP. The music is also damn great. Every show these days has crappy music, but you can tell they put more care into their music than other shows like Spongebob these days. The animation is also REALLY good since it's all done in flash, and the voice actors are ****ing amazing.
Like seriously, if you can manage to forget that the episode is based around making girly looking dresses for a ball, then you can tell that the show is at the very least decent
I'd just like to say that my problem with the show has absolutely nothing to do with how girly it is or isn't. I grew up with two sisters, so I'm completely desensitized to the whole concept of something being "too girly." Also, I have a complete lack of shame, I have gone to three anime conventions at which I've gone all-out in costume, and at the last one I went to, I went into Burger King dressed as Invader Zim (complete with green facepaint).
[inb4 someone points out irony in me disliking MLP but liking Zim because they think Zim is a terrible show]
My problem with the show is that I found it to be average, but it's blown up into this huge thing. And the majority of "bronies" find it necessary to get upset at anyone who doesn't like the show and either tell them to watch it and guarantee that they'll like it, or claim they haven't given it a try.
It's not terrible to try and get somebody to try something, but when something is constantly in my face, I generally want to set it on fire.
