The hiển thị that defined an entire generation of not simply adults, but people, is actually not as good as bạn think it is.

I, going back to my roots of... let's say a năm ago, am going to be the asshat that tells bạn why. I do this mostly because I was inspired bởi a really shitty bài viết I found while lazily scrolling through facebook.

Not saying it's a bad thing to watch this show, of course. I'd be a hell of a hypocrite for saying that, and even I know it.

I'm also not claiming this hiển thị is bad. I'm just being an idiot and claiming it's not AS good as it's hyped up to be.
(these are also not in any kind of order of importance hoặc anything because I'm too lazy to decide on stuff like that).


5. Right Place, Right Time

Let's be honest, the entire brony phenomenon was the result of an accident in the first place. The only reason the hiển thị blew up as much as it did was because some idiots on 4chan decided to piss off the wrong mods bởi posting the wrong hình ảnh in the wrong places at the wrong times.

bạn can, of course, claim that the hiển thị may have still blown up without the intervention of a bunch of autists. Hell, I don't know, I'm not a damn time traveller with some knowledge of alternate timelines

The show, while having some interesting nghề viết văn at certain points, is still a kid's hiển thị at the end of the day. The only reason people took it seriously is because the right people reacted in the right ways. A fandom slowly grew that cried out "Try our show! It's not bad, we promise, we're not ignoring blatant flaws with it!"

Fandoms in general, not just bronies, have a tendency to outright ignore any flaws in the objects of their interest. At the same time, they hoist it up on a pedestal that no other media, to them, could ever reach. In doing so, they blow their media out of proportion, making it look better than it actually is, and any future installments in the series in câu hỏi is usually defended bởi nostalgia. bạn look back on where the series has been and bạn say to yourself "I still like this" no matter what kind of shit bạn watch in the future.

4. Platform Against Grain

One major reason this hiển thị is được ưa chuộng is very much a similar tactic that led Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination here in America.

Have a controversial fact, and take ADVANTAGE of it.
Stop me if these two statements seem somewhat similar.

"I'm gonna be the first woman President!"
"I'm gonna be the first girl kid's hiển thị that's not shit!"

The funny part here is how they're both related to females. Yes, that does sound sexist but I'm not changing it now.

What we have here is a platform that involves a change of pace. Something different. bạn can also say it's similar to how Obama became president, but now we're getting a tad too political up in here.

In addition to 4chan blowing this hiển thị UP, there was the precedent of millions of fully grown males thinking to themselves "Wait, I'm watching ponies... and I like it?"
Despite what I've been saying, this hiển thị is indeed good. That surprised a LOT of people. It was a fact worthy of news coverage. A girly kids hiển thị that wasn't shit.

However, this soon became kind of backwards because this then resulted in the adult male audience of this hiển thị heavily outweighing the young female audience and this hiển thị became less of a kids show.

That didn't stop us from using that excuse for the writing, though.

Tell me if you've heard this one before.

"Of course the nghề viết văn is dumbed down, it's a kid's show!"

Seems less powerful these days, doesn't it?


3. Dumbed Down

I'm not the first person to say this, but if you're treating a hiển thị like it's God, it deserves to be treated at the same level as one.

The show's nghề viết văn is childish.
bạn can, of course, say that it's meant to come off as childish because that's the target audience and that's part of the charm. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that there's an entire analysis COMMUNITY that reviews the hiển thị on an episodic basis.

If a hiển thị is meant to be taken this seriously, I feel like the nghề viết văn meant for children shouldn't really be excused THAT much. I'm not saying the hiển thị is stupid-levels of childish in the way of writing, but I'm definitely not saying that the nghề viết văn is PROFOUND in any stretch of the imagination.

(although I'm seriously going to come off as a hypocrite because I am an inexperienced as hell writer)

The writings, good, yeah, but it's not shakespeare levels of good.

2. Cutting Cookies

Although the characters of this hiển thị have gotten plenty of development over time, at the time of the show's creation the main cast was very stereotypical.

Twilight - Bookworm
Rarity - fashionista
Fluttershy - Shy
Pinkie Pie - Comic Relief
cầu vồng Dash - Tomboy
rượu làm bằng trái táo, applejack - Country Girl

Gonna be honest, kiiind of stretching for this one since this bài viết started out as a personal joke of mine that kind of got out of hand because I was bored, but the character creation of this hiển thị isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff, people.

1. Different Strokes

Not everyone's gonna like this show. Obviously, we've gotten to the point in our fandom where we accept that on a regular basis. However, every fandom thinks their object of affection is better than it actually is.

Part of liking something (or someone) is accepting them for their strengths and weaknesses, and not everyone's gonna băm with what we're hashing with.

For a closing statement, I tình yêu this show. From episode to episode I find plenty of stuff that I consider "not good" (pretty sure triq can vouch for me on that one), but at the end of the ngày I still like it. That's what being a người hâm mộ is all about.

Over the years, though, the nostalgia has kind of worn off, and I've come to accept that the thing I tình yêu has issues, and it's not AS good as I once thought it was. That's not gonna stop me from loving it, but it's best to accept something than simply ignore it.

I created this fanfic last year. Many of the older users, such as TawnyJay, and Starwarsfan7 enjoyed it, and I hope bạn guys enjoy it too.

Aah giáng sinh time. It only comes to us once a year, but when it does everyone has a good time. It was the 15th of December, and Sugarcube Corner was very busy. Mr, and Mrs Cake were making cakes like there was no tomorrow. Pound and quả bí ngô, bí ngô were learning how to walk, thanks to Pinkie Pie. Their first few attempts weren't so good, but it seemed like they were going to do it. "Come on," Pinkie said, "Everyone has to learn how to walk." Pound almost got it,...

Princess Luna asks Blazin' to hang out with her for a whole day since Celestia has a lot of time on her hooves.
Ok, so Blazin' wakes up to see Sapphire walking around, not with him this time. He bounds out of giường zooming out the house to catch up with her.

Blazin': Hey, where are bạn going?

Sapphire: I'm taking the time to make some Những người bạn on my own. bạn showed me how, and I have to thank bạn for that. I don't need your help now. I can do it.

Blazin': But who am I supposed to spend a whole ngày with? I tình yêu you!

Sapphire: I know. I tình yêu bạn too. I'm sure you'll find someone. Have fun!

Blazin: OK, catch bạn later! *goes home*

He is now sitting in a chair tiếp theo to the front window. After an hour, he falls asleep.......

 The xe tang that chases Con
The hearse that chases Con
"What's new P?" Con asked. P then told Con about three old stallions driving around Equestria killing agents from nearly every spy organization. "We've tried contacting Sunny, but she won't reply." "That can't be good." Con said, "I'll go see if she's allright." So Con drove to where Sunny lived, and then the he saw the hearse, a '79 Coltillac. They stayed behind Con for a while, but on a sharp turn things got worse. The xe tang got tiếp theo to Con's car, and rammed into it. Con rammed the hearse, and almost got it to go off the road. A little while later they got towards a road work crew. Con got...
