Seriously, I think MLP:FIM is fine, but on the other hand, I think it'll never even compare to a children's show which I still found very appealing 15 years after its first broadcast.

Alfred J Kwak (I think that's how you write it), the show that supposedly caused the amount of peaceful public demonstrations and other political awareness to skyrocket during the 1990's.

The "J" stands for "Jawesome", which means "jaw-droppingly awesome".

PROTIP: Space goes after comma.

As for the rest? Yeah, 90% of everything is shit. Nothing new here.

the one about the rich cats
Top Cats I think. Yeah, I loved that one.

You know what happened to them? Time. Even the most creative writers get it. Someday you just run out of ideas. It's inevitable.

Well MLP is just a good cartoon. Especially since the makers actively wink at the fandom.

I also think the first 2 episodes are not best when it comes to introducing new fans. Sure it does a good job at creating the background and introducing the main cast but... it's just different and personally not a punny as other episodes (like part of one for example).

Also the main ponies are female characters that are actually rarely seen in cartoons (especially in western animation) since most main charactera are males while females are mostly second story or support characters...

Seriously how many western cartoons have female main characters? The only cartoons i can think of off the bat is "Powerpuff girls" and (to some degree) "Totally Spies" (then again TS tries hard to be anime despite being french).

And the show itself?
Well it is made appropriate for kids (no excessive violence tho you may find some fighting)... at till you get to see Schizo Pie and FlutterRage where you may have some doubts.
The characters are both well developed but still open for some reinterpretations.
The puns are usually funny.
The animation is great compared to most flash cartoons.

What do you have against furries anyway?

Nothing i'm partially furry myself. I just find myself slowly developing a furry gore fetish wherever i see MLP R34.

For some reason I don't want to expend the effort to re-read it. I'm not sure if I'll even continue reading it.

Agh, too my head is full of fanfic and I didn't even like most of what I read, but is there any other way to satisfy need for ponies? Mayby I should go for ponybreak for few days. That could do good.

So when is S2 going to start?

I don't mind fanfics, but I generally don't read them as I don't like fanon and canon getting mixed up in my head. I might read something comprised of background ponies, but stuff like historical background and character development that is almost certainly going to be disproven by the main show? Naw thanks.


Anywho, my bet for season 2's air date is october, at the 1 year anniversary of the show airing the pilot. \

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Not to mention that most fanfic "writers" have no fucking idea about characters, always having shallow, one-dimensional copies of real characters.

It's like reading a kindergarten story.

There are terrible authors of real books out there, it stands to reason that there will be terrible fanfic authors.

Never read a fanfic expecting it to be good.
