idk sorry

>>486071 No. I only read the fanfiction because it's kinda cool, like anime. The show is boring and dumb. I found that out later though, since fanfiction was my first major introduction to the internet.

>>486071 Wow, this is so crazy I was JUST about to make my own mlp thread! Anyway to answer your question no.

>>486071 no. it is a tv show for elementary school girls. if you like it, you are actually mentally retarded (or a pedophile, or both)

No. There's little point watching it outside its original time and place, unless you want to join the horsefucker community.

>>486071 It's a run of the mill HUB cartoon but the autistic fanbase pushed all of Hollywood to pander to autistic lesbian feminists, and the only reason that fact never brought up is because it was quarantined to /mlp/

AHHHHH WHERE IS MY GR 15 AAAAAAIIIIEEEEE JANNY SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>486071 As a OG horsefucker I would have to say..no. The porn was good though.

>>486071 >>486399 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYdCzs5uPrI&t=64s

>>486071 S1 and S2 were good. Everything after Lauren Faust left is a dumpster fire. Also, as others have pointed out, the porn and the fanfiction are better experiences than watching the actual show.

>>486071 S1+S2 are really good. I want to cum inside fluttershy. >>486118 Liking adult ponies makes you a horsefucker, not pedophile. >>486399 JANNIIIEEE NOOOOOO THE COLORFUL CARTOON HORSE AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Overall the first four seasons are pretty good. The first two one are great. Afterward it becomes rather boring,creatively bankrupt and then there is that last season...

this is now a ponut thread

>>486495 Man it's so funny you posted that song in particular. For years, decades, I was trying to find the name of a song/band where the only clues I had were I remembered everyone was walking backwards, it sounded alt rockish, and I remember seeing it in the early to mid 2000s. I asked on 4/mu/ a few times and never could get a hit. Then one day in a thread on 4/b/ I was chatting it up with someone who had alot of music knowledge and I described it to them and they linked that video. And I was just floored, it was finally solved. But if that interaction never happened, I would have had to wait another year or two, and I would have found this post. And you would have been getting a big thank you from me.

>>486713 you have horrible taste in porn

>>487042 not puffy enough

>>486071 i watched this since i was a child back in 2010, rewatched all of it a total of 3 times in my life, last rewatch was 2 years ago. honestly, its not amazing and i dont see any reason to watch it other than for nostalgia reasons if you just really like the characters

Let's play a little game ponyfags. Out of the mane 6 who would you.. >Marry? Fuck? Kill? >pick 2 for each option For me it's: Marry: Applejack, Fluttershy Fuck: Rarity, Rainbow Dash Kill: Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle

>>486071 Some of the songs are pretty good, also PONUTS

Why is a bulging horse anus appealing?

It's pedophile/bestiality shit. sage

>>487329 prolapse ponuts pls

>>486071 Just the first 4 seasons. The community ruins it though. Don't pay attention to fans and enjoy it for what it's worth. Tara Strong is a VA in it as well as a few others you may have heard as a kid. Let this thread die though.

>>487289 I fuck all of them and marry spike using AI to turn him into a girl, ill save for kills for later

delightful little show with a lot of heart put into it. first 5 seasons of fim is a blast. would recommend to any anons curious (don't go around and tell everyone that's who you are now tho)

>>487404 HE'S A BABY DRAGON YOU SICK FUCK

>>486713 >>487054 >>487329 beats >>487042 also >>487329 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWFve8mTmnQ

>>487647 >jewtube nuked the comments because it thinks this is kiddie shit Fuck the FTC and fuck COPPA.

>>488000 You can blame indians for being pedos in the comments of little girls doing gymnastics challenges and shit

>>486071 I watched its first 5 episodes. It was alright, something I would let my non-existent daughter watch, but I don't understand what made it explode in popularity. Same with the porn. I prefer when it's "feral" rather than anthro, but I prefer Sonic as a furfag franchise.

>>488081 >Hey guys, my name is Stacie and today I'm going to do a cameltoe backflip. Why can't the jeets keep their mouths shut, and silently enjoy the show?

>>486071 most kids shows (lazytown, mlp, pokemon, dragon ball) are "good" in that they are watchable. they have a beginning, a middle, and an end. they have characters with names. different things happen each time. there are jokes and catchy songs. it's an upgrade from most netflix original shit i guess?

>>488096 Basically MLP was the most ridiculously girly and infantile franchise imaginable and then out of nowhere they made a decent cartoon that wasn’t necessarily gender specific. Back then there wasn’t so much reboot fatigue so the concept of a “male mlp fan” was pretty novel.

>>488081 That's what YouTube Kids is for. Let the brats browse there where they can't read comments and keep the rest of the site as it was. But of course, then there would be that one stupid mom who'd let her kid browse the regular app and get groomed, and the FTC would happily sue again. Hope Orange Man shuts them down and abolishes COPPA before he gets kicked out of office.

>>488096 I think a lot of it is carried by it's overwhelming fandom potential. Having a strong setting full of interesting partially explored details like equestria, and tons of consistant background characters was like crack for anyone inclined to expand on the setting and characters. That's also just a more general merit. FiM has very strong verisimilitude, and a sense of place. >but I prefer Sonic as a furfag franchise. My brother.

>>487647 i wish i could add this to my mlp music playlist

>>488127 This. FiM was terrific fanfiction bait. Other shows like The Loud House got extremely popular for the same reason.

it was too based and redpilled so the jews had to ruin the later seasons >>488104 FIM was structured more like a light cute seinen animu

>no signs of Lee ITT It really was a bot, wasn't it?

>>493149 Lee has stopped doing it since 2016. All others were impersonators

>>489083 >Authoritarian monarchy >Agrarian society >Non industrialized >Equestria is for PONIES >Griffons/dogs are portrayed as bad Lauren Faust was a Tumblr SJW who accidentally made a right wing themed show, and proved patriarchy right. Over time she's gotten more redpilled. (She also stopped by /mlp/ sometimes and there is rumors she would have schizo rants on /ic/, based) Later seasons for people who don't know >Creaturequestria (griffons, RETARDED yaks, Changelings (an evil race), all portrayed as good >Yaks are retarded and it's your fault ponies! >Manipulating villains to do evil then punishing them >Scootallo episode "happy ending" is her parents abandoning her to live with her lesbian aunts, and be raised by the village

>>493228 this

>>486071 I will recommend watching the first two shows of season 1. Skip the intro song since it's cringe at first, and give it a chance. If you don't like the first two you won't like the rest. But if you do like the first two you are in for a hell of a ride.

>>487289 >Marry Flutter, Twilight. >Fuck Rarity, Pinkus. >Kill Rainbow, Apple.

>>486071 Why do you want to watch a cartoon aimed at children?

>>494973 Why would you kill Apple you faggot

>>493262 I stopped watching once this faggot showed up, he was alright I guess but you could feel a big change in the writing, I kinda got bored really fucking fast and eventually dropped it like one or two episodes after.

I watched a couple of episodes once with my little sister since we were both curious and "watching with my little sister" gave me plausible deniability (even though we were both adults). It really is just a show for toddlers. Like Blue's Clues or Bluey or whatever. I'm not faulting it for that, but neither of use could see what anyone over the age of six could possibly get out of it.

>>494999 men just wanted to fuck the horses.

>>494988 When people say "Discord made me drop the show" they mean sometime after he becomes a recurring character in season 3. I think this is the first time I've read someone state they did it because of Return of Harmony.

>>495005 If you weren't supposed to fuck them, why are their asses so big?

>>486071 It starts as "not boring" clearly designed so adults wouldn't die of boredom watching this with their children To en in "DBZ FIGHTS!!!" its... weird, if you have LITERALLY nothing better to do, sure... give it a try

>>494999 MLP: FIM has the literary complexity and entertainment of harry potter given the german video game treatment. The only difference between MLP and HP is that HP hides its true retardation much better while MLP wears it on its sleeve. Most MLP fans were about as mature and tasteful as HP fans.

No, there are better shows to watch now like The Owl House.

Fuck 4chan. Who wants to deal with jewish troon mods that banned 10 million IPs?

>>496615 The original show was supposed to be entertaining for the whole family. It ended in DBZ fights because the replacement staff + executives seethe endlessly at being in Lauren Faust's shadow.

>>496615 >>496733 Does it seriously end in DBZ fights? Fucking why? Amphibia was the same thing. Funny first season and then takes itself so seriously and ends with some cringeworthy sailor moon outer space fight. Wtf is wrong with these people

>>496893 They blew up twilights treehouse library and replaced it with a middle finger to the audience.

>>496893 there’s literally 1 (one) dbz fight and twilight loses and it’s not presented as a good decision

It's very good for a little over half its run. >>487334 Some people develop mental illnesses and decide they like malformed things.

>>487289 >Marry Applejack, good to raise a family with and runs a successful business, hot body Rarity, runs a successful business as well will keep your living space clean and is hot >Fuck Rainbow Dash, has a hot athletic body has no other redeeming qualties about her so she's only good for a fuck. Pinkie, she's annoying but most definitely be wild in the sack >Kill Twilight and Fluttershy Can't stand those two...

>>494984 The one thing I found out on why most people (like that faggot) hate her is all that yeehaw she's got going and nothing else. Other than that, everything about her is great and with no fault otherwise. Along with everything else she's perfect for me since I do like that cowgirl farm girl aspect about her

Collectively? No. The show is like The Simpsons, Arthur it went on for far too long and you had to more or less “be there” for its cultural impact and meme appeal. Then theres the shitty spinoffs and movies, particurlarly the Monster High clone spinoff movies. Overall if you were trying to kill time, check it out but you’ll notice how fucking rotted it becomes once Purple Smart gets wings. Character direction and vocal inflection changes and they just keep introducing more bad decisions like Poochie and those monster students in Season 8 and 9.

>>486695 I agree the first four are definitely the best it started to decline after that. I tried to get through it after through it but saw the decline, only got a bit into the season that comes after the movie and stopped there. At the time I thought I just moved on from that brony phase of my life but after a rewatch many years later with my kids and my friend's (who were also bronies at the time) kids my feelings were the same. It was good that I left off there and should have done so earlier

>>502581 Stinkypie and Chastity both have a train run on them thas a fac Painbowgash is a locker bunny Twishite gloryhole fakes being a librarian and does rimjobs and threeways with everypony only the yellow girls are trad and safe from being too socially difficult or too high T for the boys to ruin them though Applewank's a pervert and secsually into ballbreaking. And it's all canon anon. There's nothing you can do.

>>486071 Only pedos watch it if they're not kids.

>>502637 maybe if the fans didnt advertise it as porn it would attract a more varied fan base. like people who miss the smurfs or who the fuck am i kidding.

>>502637 The mares are all adults who live on their own and have careers. This criticism never made sense. >>502611 Applejack is the most centered character because her parents died. HasJew also hates her for being "racist" and Rarity for making fat uglies feel fat and ugly.

>>502666 It's just a cute innocent kids show about cute ponies doing cute things, having fun and being good friends but the degenerates that make up the fandom take it too far and just ruin it.

>>502637 (you)

It was the Best https://youtu.be/9tndGKF6UuM

>>488096 >but I don't understand what made it explode in popularity. It's the closest we got to a western-made shoujo anime. Consider the west's obsession with reckless subversion, how writers reject femininity because girls being girly and wanting to wear cute dresses and eat cakes would be seen as sexist. No, they have to be "punk" and act like stereotypical men (loud, proud, explosive, etc). MLP felt refreshing in how authentically feminine it was while still being a solid adventure show that took place in an interesting world. It didn't had to abandon femininity to make its characters cool, strong or interesting. The mane 6 were also based on easy-to-grasp archetypes while still having a degree of depth and just the right amount of subversion, like how Rarity is the "rich girl" type but isn't a selfish snob. >Same with the porn Cuteness is a big deal when it comes to r34. Characters who are intentionally designed to be hot get less porn than cutesy ones because the later is associated with purity and innocence. It's more satisfying to corrupt and defile said innocence whereas the intentionally hot character is already adjusted to it, there's no taboo or boundary being broken.

>>503917 >people were fed up with SJW feminism in fucking 2010 Why reply if you don't know what you're talking about?

>>487289 >human Ruined Also marry Fluttershy, rarity Fuck pinkie and rainbow dash Kill twili and Applejack daniels

>>488096 Wait till you get to season 2 that's when the show runners realized who their actual viewer base is and they started pandering to the brownies ever since then. It feels way less "kiddy" after that but still never leaves it's roots as a kids show

>>503951 Yes but it wasn't like today's situation. They were closer to the Tumblr groups who fixated on shipping drama and feminism. Tumblr was the go-to place for people working in the industry and one thing led to another.

>>503951 you know feminism has been out of control since the 70s right

>>503917 Good take. For the same reasons you mentioned, Applejack and Rarity are getting soft-canned by Hasbro. Applejack is too much of a "racist hick" and rarity is too "stereotypically feminine." >>504121 More like 1910s

>>503917 (double post) The show also shows a wide range of feminine archetypes. None of them are "get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" that feminists pretend the world is like. They are all strong, independent, capable women. It's completely natural for guys to be drawn to a show about positive femininity when every woman they know is some seething girl boss roastie cunt. It speaks more about our society than men, when men are drawn to fictional women over real ones. If wholesome feminine women were popular in society, bronies wouldn't exist.

>>504106 >>504121 I'm not saying radical feminists didn't exist, I'm saying they weren't mainstream enough to warrant massive backlash and societal repulse. No one was complaining about "girlbosses" before 2015 or so, and FiM definitively didn't get popular because it symbolized a return to traditional femininity or something. In fact, people were commending it for NOT making every female character a stereotype whose only interests were dresses and boys (some people even disliked Rarity for being too close to said stereotype). People weren't fed up with woke shit because woke shit wasn't everywhere yet. This is either ignorance or plain revisionism.

>>504254 Anon, bronies exist because a generation of men were raised by single mom girl boss roastie whores who hate men. It's not really "mommy issues" it's "wow I've never seen a woman act feminine my whole life." Fictional or not.

>>504269 >20-something year olds in 2010 had never seen a traditionally feminine woman before, not even in movies, vidya, anime or cartoons You're either delusional, trying to push a narrative, or this is all bait and I'm biting like an idiot. Kinda hoping it's that last one, TBH.

>>504254 >I'm saying they weren't mainstream enough to warrant massive backlash and societal repulse. Again, it was a different time. The SJW thing wasn't as mainstream back them but Tumblr stood out for its deranged users, later influencing IPs more directly as those people got hired to work on them. I can't remember if it was 2010 or 2012 when they started doing the Tumblr nose and drawing characters ugly on purpose but it was basically the breeding ground for all the shit FiM refused to adopt as it went on. It never followed Tumblr's trends, sticking to its philosophy that the mane 6 didn't needed to abandon their femininity to look cool, interesting, etc. In comparison, Adventure Time had Princess Bubblegum becoming a scientist and (later) bisexual action heroine because princess -> femininity -> weak. It got so bad that Rebecca Sugar of all people gave Finn a new love interest in 2012 because PB and Marceline were being ruined by Tumblr's shit. >In fact, people were commending it for NOT making every female character a stereotype whose only interests were dresses and boys Compared to what MLP used to be associated with, a low effort toy commercial for little girls. The IP was on par with Bratz or Barbie in terms of lobotomized media for women. Nobody expected a show with a similar appeal to Avatar or AT, much less the same depth to its characters and world building. Rainbow Dash is a tomboy and people jokingly called her a lesbian but the show never made her flat out reject girly stuff. She was down for wearing a dress at the gala (despite the same ep showing that she had a shit taste for fashion) and her character was more about being unbelievably insecure to the point of rejecting anything that wasn't cool, like reading.

>>504358 Yes. Name one mainstream piece of media from that era that is about a feminine woman main character without "girl boss" thrown in. You can't. >>504378 >Comparing MLP to Avatar A very good comparison. If MLP G4 came out today it would be about how rainbow dash likes girls and needs to take hormones.

>>504269 No, it's mommy and daddy issues together. >>504358 Furries and bronies are due almost solely to bog-standard parental neglect and lack of socialization as a young child. >mommy not home >daddy checked out or missing altogether >sit down in front of television (surrogate parent) >bombarded with colorful, friendly cartoon critters >"wow they look happy, i wish i was a critter" And there you go.

>>504358 It was already happening by the 90s and 2000s. The Disney renaissance pushed princesses who challenged the traditional formula in different ways, making them more independent, witty, and free-spirited. Mulan's selling point was a tomboy who sucked at being a traditional wife cross-dressing to join the Chinese army. Hell, Shrek came out in 2001 and the whole joke with Fiona was that she looked like a typical princess but was just as weird as Shrek and could easily defend herself in a fight.

>>504468 I hate this argument "if you like feminine women, you have mommy issues." No, it's completely natural to be attracted to feminine women, and women who would be good mothers to your children. >2025: male sexual deviancy is feminine, emotionally mature, affectionate women Oh nooo I have mommy issues unless I want to date a fat dyke with a career!

enough projecting and post more porn

>>504378 Anon, I'm not denying the marxist infiltration of the arts. Of course it was happening, we all know that now, but we didn't back in 2010. Tumblerinas were just a weird fringe group people laughed at sometimes. The anti-woke movement only started with GamerGate, which happened in 2014. There's no way FiM got popular due to woke fatigue if the overwhelming majority of people didn't know what woke was to begin with. Also, FiM definitively bent the knee to the woke mob. Creaturequestria and Scootaloo's lesbian aunts weren't unhappy coincidences. >>504409 >main character Nice goalpost, faggot. Of course an MC is going to be proactive or even heroic, traits typically associated with masculinity. I'm talking about supporting characters and romantic interests, which tended to be very feminine. >>504468 There's a good chunck of bronies who are actually depressed and want to go Equestria unironically, but saying that's the case for all of them is a bit unfair. >>504499 Exceptions to the norm. Also >more independent, witty, and free-spirited Applies to the Mane 6 as well. People like to forget Faust was a feminist.

>Rainbow Pony Is this pony gay?

>>505726 Yes, but she just needs human cock correction

>>505726 She's made for the straightest fetish possible: tomboy feminization.

>>503917 >like how Rarity is the "rich girl" type but isn't a selfish snob Sounds like Sylia Stingray from Bubblegum Crisis.

>>486071 When I was babysitting my little cousin she would watch this show all the time, I pretended to hate it but was genuinely watching with her

>>505949 >“I am almost inclined to set it up as a canon that a children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story. The good ones last. A waltz which you can like only when you are waltzing is a bad waltz.” - C.S Lewis The fact that you yourself were able to enjoy it and how it was able to garner and create the weird phenomenon of reaching a fanbase outside it's target demographic is a testiment that the show was actually well made and good. The whole family can enjoy it. Granted a few from that said fandom is questionable

>>487289 >Rainbow Dash >Brown I bet the jews did this!

>>506076 She's just tanned, not a nigger.

>>486071 Seasons 1 and 2 were based but it fell off and while there was a brief cultural moment where it somehow felt more edgy and bad ass to be watching ponies than not, that quickly transformed into the type of brainrotted furfag shit you would expect.

>>510615 Agreed. Season 1 and 2 were fuckin great. Didn't care for Season 3 as much and stopped watching after that.

>>496942 I hate the antichrist

>>510615 >>510691 Makes sense since those 2 seasons Lauren Faust was highly involved and in control. I think around season 2 is when they started catering a little to the brony fanbase with certain fanservicey things as a some of acknowledgement of their existence but still staying true to the essence of the show where its still a kids show that the whole family can enjoy. It went all downhill after Lauren left and it started catering more and more to the bronies themselves so it just veered off into a weird direction as well as the fanbase itself The season 1 and 2 times and imo also the time just before season 3s final was peak FiM and brony fandom. It was a nice era and I miss it. I will admit I enjoyed the time when season 4 was airing with the fandom but knew things were off and pretty much dropped it after

no, it sucks shit honestly. i can't believe i got tricked into watching an episode. >but dude it has adult references yeah, and? it looks like a shitty flash cartoon for little girls

>>511726 FIM as a show should've kept fan nods separate from anything worked on, but another issue is expanding the brand to crap like Equestria Girls which is one of the reasons S3 was so short. Faust leaving was bound to happen since Hasbro cares more about toys than creative integrity. I suspect the show or some variation of it will be rebooted or revived in the future because its the most popular gen.

>>511741 There was the g6 concept leak that demoted twilight from princess to going to summer camp to get her cutie mark. Any reboots will be shit. Hasbro execs and cartoonists will seethe forever that they live in faust's shadow.

>>512032 Thats blasphemy.

>>511728 >shitty flash cartoon for little girls Well, it is animated in Flash, so you got a third of that right, at least.

>>493262 >Creaturequestria (griffons, RETARDED yaks, Changelings (an evil race), all portrayed as good >Yaks are retarded and it's your fault ponies! Even before the creaturequestria season they did such a dogshit job at fleshing out the foreign kingdoms. You have this lore about a kingdom that prospered for over 1000 years thanks to a healthy balance of religious beliefs (Harmony) and technological progress. How about the other races whose cultures developed differently? Of course! They are all so dysfunctional that they need foreigners to walk in and unfuck their inferior cultures by overwriting them with their own beliefs. It's like some age of exploration brain damage about only a small part of the world being civilized on top of the contemporary brain damage that the "civilized" ones are responsible for everything that goes wrong there because something something supernatural burden. You know what was great about the Kirin? They felt like they had an actual foreign culture that had nothing to do with harmony or other pony beliefs yet you could tell that the collective silence was but a temporary setback for an otherwise prosperous kingdom. This is how the other races should have been handled, different but not dysfunctional to the point of them being unable to experience basic fucking emotions like kindness and laughter. The Yaks starving to death was stupid, so was the griffons being physically unable to work together (they aren't dragons), and don't get me started on the changelings becoming an Equestrian puppet state ran by a gay deer because, uh, it's okay to be different as long as your very existence is altered to match our beliefs, sweetie! What a load of shit.

>>496893 They have many... action scenes? spread trough the series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1L4Su5n3m4 But towards the end this guy is a better moro than moro, worse, he came first https://youtu.be/wo3jIcAgnT0?t=67

>>486071 its AMAZING.

>>512198 Ngl a lot of the fanfiction writers that built the world better through introducing other races and kingdoms out of Equsteria with their fanfics did a way better job than the actual shows writers

>>512168 it's just funny because bronies go on and on about the allegedly amazing animation

>>512198 You'd need somebody whos good at worldbuilding and lets face it, if you're writing and animating for a toy commercial show about talking horses you're pretty much at the bottom of the list for that.

>>512198 >It's like some age of exploration brain damage about only a small part of the world being civilized on top of the contemporary brain damage that the "civilized" ones are responsible for everything It's the horse man's burden and this is one of the most kino parts of the entire thing. The implicit euro-coded castle and magic horse supremacy is part of what gave it such resonance. You wouldn't get it.

>>512462 >MLP:FiM is a show for Aryan European men Lmao

>>512462 >go through a golden age where you prosper so hard you make your neighbors look incompetent >have several generations of remarkable people working together to maintain this prosperity, stopping internal and external threats alike >send your religious representatives to their lands to make them convert and become dependent on you >develop a misplaced sense of self worth, partially due to a misinterpretation of your own religious dogma >have your people fund an institution ran by an former communist focused on welcoming said neighbors into your lands while pushing a narrative that you're all equal because of a cherrypicked example >it doesn't work because their cultures are too different, that's why it's your people's duty to self destruct until it does >the culturally diverse group makes a mockery of one of your holy monuments >a radical change in management leads to the total collapse of the kingdom The funniest part is that the writers probably didn't realized what they were doing.

>>512201 when ponies first encounter changelings they start beating the shit out of them like it’s powerpuff girls and it’s one of the best finales

It was obviously made for little girls, but there is a lot of jokes in it that appeal to your average mom. I liked it, but I'd never rewatch it.

Visit >>>/mlp/

>>512783 But I can't post IRL zoophilia anymore, so what's the point?

>>512219 The show's animation is pretty good. You only think it's bad because you associate Flash with Newgrounds animations made by one guy in a couple of days.

>>512198 Based. I hate changelings because their Skittles design is ugly and shitty. >>512744 KEK. Faust didn't know what she was doing in the first season either. >>512786 Nobody posted it there anyways. There was a couple dead threads.

>>486071 It's comfy and very SOL, I only watched the first season but I enjoyed it for what it was.

>>513527 Watch season 2 it's also as good if not better. 3 is somewhat good really debateable but I find it watchable up before the last episode. Everything after is trash

>>513814 NTA, but what's so bad about Season 3's last episode?

>>513984 Hasbro forced season 3 to be half length because 65 episodes is a "standard" size to sell to TV networks. Then instead of doing a 2 episode season finale they shoved 2 episodes into a 24 minute runtime and topped it off with a permanent character change. The chaos killed a lot of the momentum the early fandom had.

>>486071 I don't like their looks. It's like they're mocking me.

>>486071 Yesn't

>>514578 i wish i was a brony so that i could post mocking and or smug ponies at you

>>514050 remember when they made Derpy not retarded or something too

>>515607 They started calling her ass "DITZY" instead of derpy and that was certified fucking over department

>>486071 IWTCIRD

>>515607 They changed Derpy's voice from the original airing, which made her sound hilariously slow. They then changed her official name and just made her more of a "aloof blonde" caricature which the redditors and splintered bronies all fawned over.

>>486071 I'd say the show had its time, and the active fandom was a big reason for the enjoyment we had while it was ongoing. if you've never seen it give it a try.

>>486071 Early on. Then Hasbro demanded dumb shit, Lauren Faust left out of frustration & the show went to shit fast

>>519511 She left because she can't commit to a project to its completion if her life depended on it.

>>520019 >>519511 Both of these posters are correct, but the show's first season is excellent. It went downhill each successive season from then, but still managed some good episodes in the slop.

>>486071 No. Don't be retarded.

>>493262 >Authoritarian monarchy That gives local areas and individuals enormous amounts of autonomy and freedom? >Agrarian society >Non industrialized Literally has a massive metropolis with skyscrapers in the form of Manehattan and has trains. >Equestria is for PONIES And cows.

>>520019 No she left because Brian Goldner was a dumb piece of shit & Hasbro is a pain in the ass to work with. Larry Hama dealt with the same shit in the 80s, the "no you can't tell a good story, do this instead" clueless mandates. Everyone but Hasbro knew Serpentor was a dumb idea but GI Joe got it anyway. Not only does Hasbro have low standards but Hasbro fanboys have low standards. They'll buy anything because they prefer to be beaten rather than ignored. 4chins /toy/ is filled with Hasbro dicksuckers. Haslab expensive Omega Prime arriving broken? Someone will say it's no big deal. Their fanboys include dumbfuck David ItsWalky Willis & certified chomo brown man white supremacist Jin Saotome, its not a good crowd. Hasbro is also being sued for lying about their Star Wars toys mot selling, claiming the unwanted stock is "for future demand" to swindle shareholders.

>>520491 The official map of Equestria was literally a ripoff of the map of Tamriel from Elder Scrolls. Nearly the same layout. Oh sorry we can't call that "stealing" when a big name does it, it's "a reference".

>>520601 The only thing Hasbro loves more than being greedy is killing great projects. Suits at the top HATE being upshown by their staff, even though it's a company that depends on its creators. If they didn't come up with it, it doesn't get the cut, because they can't get credit. At least bronies have the balls to make their own shit since Hasbro is such a fuck up. >>520602 I see a little similarity. It's the dumbest and least important reason to care about the show.

>>520909 Hasbro is a toy company first and foremost. Thats something to remember. This isn't WB or Disney its a company whos main source of revenue is made of plastic and stuffing. They don't care if Pinkie Pie goes on a journey of self-discovery, they care if shes selling toys to small children who will get bored of the poorly composed plushie within a month.

>>520918 >Hasbro is a toy company first and foremost >ok boys time to compete with pixar with mlp G5, it doesn't need to be good we just need to say we are competing with pixar >wtf nooo why are people saying g5 is bad?! >we are toy company!!! Hot take: good shows sell toys better than toy commercial spam.

>>486071 I wanna sit on her "hitching post" and have her push my shit in so far that I start burping out farts.

>>521043 I know this is AI but what character is that?

id say give it a try for yourself. theres definitely good reasons for its popularity & phenomena and even if you dont like it, you can still say its better than most childrens slop put out there.

Hasbro can release good media, but their drooling idiot fans are willing to accept garbage, so they make garbage. Why spend more when cheap garbage sells? Most of their famboys are too fucking stupid to know a good quality product anyway. If they were smart they wouldn't like Hasbroke.

>>523438 >namefag >horrible take

>>523727 No, no, he's right. Most people actually enjoyed season nine.

>>525384 Most people who ever watched FiM didn't give a fuck about the show anymore by season 9. I don't remember when EqD stopped reporting on audiences, but they stopped because the people who still watched the show on DiscoFam were like 5% of the people who used to watch Season 2 on The Hub and even the most egregious shills found it embarrassing. This is what I utterly despise about this fandom, not even the fact tha only shiteaters remain now, but the fact that they pretend that since they're the only ones who still care about this dead franchise they can talk on behalf of everyone who ever watched the show.

Yeah

>>525429 >nooo, retards occupied a fandom I used to be a part of and are rewriting History! Your fault for leaving the fandom in the first place. You've relinquished a position of power and are now complaining it's being used in ways you don't like. Has this last decade of culture warring thought you nothing?

>>525429 That's pretty fair. Tranny zoom zooms have infested the fandom, and people like tamers now use it to show porn to kids on purpose.

>>525593 Can we have one fucking thread without a post using the words porn and kids. God damn it

>>502611 Applejack is cute. She's cute! CUTE!

>>525429 Sunk-cost was a thing with MLP. The only thing surpassing that is One Piece fans and their 40 year pirate gag manga.

>>525596 Sorry that trannies are using kids shows to groom children into trannies. >>525645 >t. never watched the show

i am begging for a gross agp trans girl to sit me down nd watch the entire series with her in my lap

>>528393 >her

>>528394 >it/xer/xim im all for it, pussy

>>528395 >the gay community

Hasbro is slowly licensing out toy brands they own to other companies. They expect to become a game company, but in reality, they'll go under in 5 years.

>>525749 Never drag queens being arrested for chomo, only MAGA

>>523727 >Horrible take How's Hasbro's cum taste?

boop

The later seasons have some good songs, like video related.

Oh I get it now. Rainbow dash is a dyke.

>>531065 Where's the proof Rainbow Dash is a dyke?

https://edramatica.com/Jin_Saotome >Hasbro fan >Mentally ill brown chomo who thinks he's a white man

>>532545 Where's the proof she isn't?

>>532552 >"His response was a long-winded post praising Adolph Hitler, George Zimmerman & blaming "liberals" for everything he didn't like." i dunno, this guy sounds like a cool dude, he also looks pretty light skinned so i dont think he'd get pulled over by any nigger-beating cops pic unrelated

>>486071 As much as people joke about anime being children's cartoons, this is LITERALLY a children's cartoon.

shit show

>>528541 still no answer

It's fun, it reminds me of Power Puff Girls.

The Republipedos who run /fur/ get mad at the mention of my name. Go figure they also masturbate to this cartoon, when they aren't busy masturbating to (((Trump))). Typical behavior of 400-pound fatasses who would be dropped with a single punch. Furries, useless as always. Irony of ironies, they love Trump for being a chomo when Republicans want to outlaw all the porn that makes up their fan-dumb. Then again, if furries were sane, they wouldn't be furries. You just know the insane MAGA who runs /fur/ will be dead from diabetes by the time he turns 40. That's if I don't get my hands on the pedo scumbag myself first.

>>533301 Still you being a stupid bitch

>>523438 G4 is really well made and the fans recognize that pony life and G5 are garbage. >>533609 Yeah you seem like a faggot
