Testimonial for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
Greetings and salutations my fellow Pojoers. Many of you probably never seen a single episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, maybe even despise the notion of a show for “little girls” to not be manly enough for you. As someone who had similar opinions of the show not being for me, but recently changed my mind on this show, I would like to present to you why this show is good, and why you should give it a chance.

Keep in mind this is someone who remembers my little ponies (mlp) being a toy/crappy show for girls in the 80s/early 90s, and that I normally enjoy typical manly things such as violence, suggestive themes, and language in my TV/movies/video games. So the mere fact that someone with my taste likes it should speak volumes.

I kept hearing about how it was superb and that 15-30 year olds actually like it. I didn’t pay too much attention until late last November, when I was starting to wonder what made this show good, so when I had some free time around then, I started watching it to see what the fuss was all about. This show really changed my way of thinking because this show did things that is sometimes lacking in most media that I enjoy.

This show does an outstanding job in the story department, has Dynamic and interesting characters from main characters, even does a good job characterizing minor ones, humor that that can be enjoyed by various age groups, superb voice acting, and has some really good animation in it. Honestly the only reason I can think of someone truly hating this show would be from Gender Polarization: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_polarization

A big part of the reason that it is good is that the executive producer, Lauren Faust, put a lot of effort into making it appealing to more than the original demographic (young girls). She wanted something that parent can enjoy with their daughters. They were so successful that they didn’t just get parents; they got a broad range of ages to love it as well.

If you are familiar with the Power Puff Girls, Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, or any of the works from any of the writers, or Lauren Faust, then you have a good idea why people hold this show in high regard.

This show reminded me why the quote “you can’t judge a book by its cover” is true.

If there was one thing I learned from this show it is this: With enough effort, you can truly can make anything entertaining, and appeal to all audiences.

Anyways, I hope this is helpful for understanding why My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is considered so good by many (including me). If you are still unconvinced that this show is for you, then I would recommend watching a few episodes. Any of us Bronies would be more than happy to give some recommended episodes to watch if you need some guidance.

If it turns out you don’t like the show, that’s OK, we don’t mind at all, but I hope you will at least appreciate that a show such as this can be liked by a general audience without the usually need to included Violence, language, etc. in it. If you find that you like it, we welcome you to the Brony community, and can guarantee you will get something out of it.

That would be awesome if you found out you two were related

[Doctor Whooves]

Well, look at what we've got here, Bronies of mine, it's the same in every thread!
An awesome OP, some new subscribers which we'll see yet!

Not the best rhyme, but eh.

My old driver's Ed teacher always preached that this wasn't true. He claims that "Only PERFECT practice makes perfect", saying that you might be practicing the wrong way. :P

Hey, when I want to, I can rhyme,
I just didn't manage to make it this time,
Surely the future will come to show,
That wherever you are, high or low,
That there'll always be an unmatched groove,
Led by the one, the only, The Doctor Whooves!

So, here's a topic: Predictions for season 3.

[Calvie]

My prediction for season three?
Well, we will have to wait and see
I imagine it should be perfect-o
If Lauren Faust is still the direct-o
...yeah that was bad

[Purple Kuriboh]

Season 3 eh?

More Trixie/Kathleen Barr.

more baby cakes.

Another Vinyl Scratch appearance.

Additional Comment:

more Rarity singing.

[Terraplant]

Subbing.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders can't get their cutie marks yet... it would ruin them... It can wait till the end of Season 3

I think season 5+ would be good. And have each one have a dedicated episode to getting there cutie mark.

[GrimroXMakina]

Subbing !

I hope they get something they don't expect... Apart from Scootaloo, he needs a scooter and that's that.

Scootaloo is a she.

[Doctor Whooves]

My Predictions list, Catagorized by probability:

Dead Cert
*Elements of harmony again
*New villain
*More songs
*More Cutie Mark Crusader Episodes

It could happen
*Video games (If you get this reference)
*Scootaloo episode (Way overdue)
*Applejack song (See above)
*Trixie comeback

Would be awesome, but relatively unlikely
*Octavia Canonized
*Lyra's name mentioned in the show (She's already mentioned as a toy)
*Bon-Bon Canonized
*Filly Celestia/Woona episode
*Discord origins episode
*Trixie song

I'll buy 1,000,000 shares in Hasbro
*Doctor Whooves canonized
*Brony shout-out

[Calvie]

I thought she was a he o_o
That's slightly cringeworthy
Let's just call Scootaloo 'it'

IGIARI!

Watch "The stare master". Apple Bloom clearly refers to Scoot and Sweetie as "Hey, GIRLS!"

Case closed

[MasterYubel]

Perhaps Trixie would meet Gilda and they pull pranks on each other?

[Calvie]

Ahmagawd I feel so stupid -facehoof-
If Gilda and Trixie met, Gilda would whoop Trixie big time.

Trixie can make her own fireworks.

[Calvie]

Gilda can make funny looking pedal-powered flying machines go crazy.
...that's about it.
