Why I'm a fan of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
I figure this would be a great outlet to kinda get this off my chest, since a lot of people have been asking the most overused one word question. WHy?
Well.. let's do a step by step as to HOW I got hooked on this confounded show anyway.
I browse Lulz.net a lot, I'll admit, most of that, is for the art. Oft times you'll find art there that's good and that you didn't know existed. If there were a "FUKKIN SAVED" button, trust me, there'd be one for there. The furry drama though eh, I don't bother paying attention to it primarily because I just don't care. Anywho.. on one thread I noticed a significant amount of these memes being posted, and it kinda reminded me of a mix between My Little Pony that I remember from the 80s and Powerpuff Girls.
So henceforth I went on to 4chan and started browsing threads, and noticed poni EVERYWHERE and talk of this new reboot to the MY Little Pony franchise. Curious, I began to browse, and clicked on a link that brought me to an episode called "Bridle Gossip". Flutterguy did me in, I HAD to see the rest of the series, and so I watched, every episode, TWICE. Feeling Pinkie Keen did me in though, the awesomeness of the show producers including Derpy as canon was... glorious.
Ah, but WHY do you like this show? Nostalgia may have a little to do with it, but to be honest, I like the show because it offers something no other show on TV offers or delivers in such a fun and very non-pandering manner. Important takeaways like, how to treat your friends, someting that as warm and inviting as the furry fandom has been for me, the amateurish treatment of friends irked me, especially if ideologies clashed, or someone brought up an opinion that differed from theirs. Secondly, I love this show for how it makes me feel afterwards. Many shows that I USED to watch, like House, Stargate SG1, Voyager, etc. As awesome as the plots and stories of these shows were, never really had anything useful I could apply to areas outside of my life. With this show, that changes, this show kinda teaches the basics of friendship, stuff that quite frankly needed to be re-iterated, because in some instances, the word 'friend' seems... almost synonymus with "Yes Men".
I think one thing about this show is it's given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of all the little things in life.
