I'll say it again, since it was apparently overlooked the first time:
1. Lauren Faust has stated several times that the show was not designed just for little girls. The show was designed for young children (of both genders) AND THEIR FAMILIES. I felt the need to Billy Mays that last part since it is so often overlooked. Here it is in her own words:
2. There are, as I have stated before, numerous references in the show that a year or two year old child would/could never get:
a. The monolith reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey
b. The "build a replica of the city over there!" reference to Blazing Saddles
c. The troubles with Tribbles / gremlins reference
Or you can just keep on blindly judging, whatever floats your boat; I'll enjoy the show either way.
Thank you.

Do explain WHY this thread would get watched by the FBI? It's not like we're watvching it BECAUSE little kids watch it. If that was the case then we'd have a problem.
We watch it because it's a well made show and is very entertaining for both young and old alike.
Don't bother explaining chris, these morons are incapable of understanding. The only way the fbi would consider looking is if we were:
A) discussing a terroristic plot.
B) sharing obscene material.
C) buying/selling/trading controlled substances.
Watching my little pony is about as suspicious as the stupid feth commenting on it.
I'm sorry, but love and tolerance can only go so far.

Also, I kind of like him. He seems like he's interesting....the problem is that My Little Pony IS a kid's show, so they can't put in horribly dark and evil characters. But...a trickster god like Discord? He has potential.
The fact that he's voiced by John de Lancie just makes it awesome in my mind.

This thread is not ironic. But we're still dakkaites, so I suppose it's a draw.

So, why has this show become so popular over the last few months? I never watched it myself,. and no I'm not trying to troll, and not trying to insult anybody, I just don't understand why this show become so big.

Why? It just is I guess. I mean, I love the show, it's pretty well written, compared to many cartoons these days.

I'm trying to figure out how to phrase this best. Basically, the show is well written, well animated, well voiced and is just generally enjoyable. I think a lot of the hate that it gets is because people hear "My Little Pony" and automatically think of the old show.
Well this isn't the old show. It's not girly, it's not sappy, it's not saccharine nor does it talk down to its audience. If the show had been made as a completely new series, with all original characters and different animals then I don't think it would see as much hate as it does. Heck, people would be fawning all over it like they do now but without getting told the FBI is watching them...
Instead, people hear "My Little Pony" and immediately write it off as girly crap. Well, their loss I suppose.

OK, my last post was hipocritical, what I should of said is its just awkward to most or some other people that others watch a show meant for children, given my avatar, i just like the animation it was supposed to have and yes it was a childhood memory that you just grasp onto, thats that part, but I also think that this is the wrong place for MLP discussion plainly because its a GW forum, not MLP forum, so i would probably consider either making another forum or moving onto an actual MLP forum.
again not hating, just trying to get a point across.

I read this and decided that i should do some research before posting so i watched some episodes and all i have to say is that this show is like an evil enchantress, if you look in its eyes it will put you in trances. (BTW i am now hooked on this show. I like rainbow dash best)

The clip of Pinkie Pie's Evil Enchantress song, as sung by Flutterguy is what intrigued me enough to actually watch it. There are a couple pretty awesome remixes floating around on Youtube as well.

This thread is... intriguing. I'm genuinely interested, but at the same time I'm so very afraid to watch it. I feel like if I watch it that I'll be mesmerized and converted. Sort of like being brainwashed and indoctrinated into a cult of some sort. You guys even have your own jargon!

At worst, you'll appreciate the wider audience the show attempts to cater to. Of course it is a Hasbro marketing ploy through and through, but it is a well written Hasbro marketing ploy.
