  • They said it couldn’t be done, but My Little Pony became something everyone could enjoy. Of course, some were baffled by its success, but the brony movement stayed strong, loving and tolerant as long as it could. Do I think the show that spawned their culture, Friendship is Magic, is any good? Certainly. Let me take you on a journey into Equestria from 2010 to 2014, a land of mystery, wonder, I guess consistently good storytelling, and did somepony say fun?

    I actually met Andrea Libman (Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy) at a Convention in 2013 and she signed my Fluttershy poster with "Remember Me when you're a Star!"

    I admit that I wasn't into Rarity because of her attitude but after watching a couple of episodes recently, now I understand why people love the character and Tabitha St. Germain is great in the perfect role. Dash and AJ were my top two favorites in the series.

    When I first heard of this show many (back when this show was just getting started) years ago when a little brother and a older sister of one of my friends. I didn't know how to react to them watching it other than ignoring them. Then about a year or two ago my curiosity about MLPFIM got me the better of me. Then I watched the MLP 2017 movie. After that I was still confused but yet starting to finally understand why MLPFIM had the fanbase it had. When I finally checked out the TV show and I became a casual brony. The later seasons wasn't as consistently good as the early years. Yet I still enjoyed enough episodes to tolerate the shows problems. I'm looking forward to G5 and seeing if it keep me as invested in MLP like G4 managed to do so.

    Around 2010 I remember a RUclipsr who I watched named TheLavaBuster (He makes anime and every once in a while cartoon reviews, he doesn't make videos anymore because of his personal life and copyright problems on RUclips) he made two videos of him watching the season one two-parter and he wasn't into it. After I saw those videos I was curious about it and well from season one to four I like the show.

    I like Twilight a lot more as an Alicorn Princess because: She Has Wings and they are bigger then normal pegasus wings which makes them so great, she has a longer neck , her horn is a little bigger which means she's more powerful, and her face has got bright when she becomed an Alicorn.

    "This is an unpopular opinion, but I don't enjoy Heartwarming Eve" Finally someone who agrees! I mean it's good for world-building, but when later Pinkie tells the summarized version to Applebloom with gingerbread, I felt like it was more than enough for the run time and more creative with the visuals with being almost straight to the point.

    I was into this show, I had high hopes for it. But you know what happened, it ripped me off!!! It was after season 4 that it hit me that this show is the most overrated show ever made. Season 4 felt to me like a breakthrough, but wasn’t good enough. I waited patiently for Season 5 and hoped it would be an improvement of the previous season. But when it came, the show completely forgot all about it and moved to a totally lame and boring direction. I felt outraged and personally ashamed. The one thing I ever wanted from it was more ACTION and heroism, the same level as PowerPuff Girls. But it never got any. It was all wasted potential. That’s why I switched to another form that was better than the show, the IDW comics. They were more geared towards my level. Over the years, the show went more and more downhill until all the Bronies died out and gave up on it. Today, they rebooted the MLP franchise and is pretending like FIM never happened.

      You have to think, it was 2015 when MLP stopped getting cared about, which was also around the same time Steven Universe started taking off in popularity. I don't think Steven Universe or MLP are any better than each other, but it cannot be denied that most people stopped watching MLP after season 4.
