My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

That's Right Folks, I'm actually making a review-tribute to...

     My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a "Colt" hit, and it's popularity is spreading like fire.  The show has great stories, great characters, Great Designs, and best of all... Fun for everyone!

      It's a surprise to see this show appealing to older guys; you know, one would think it was a creepy fetish-reason like with such infamous cartoons like Lucky Star, but you'd be Dead wrong to assume so with Lauren Faust's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

   I think the real enlightenment might be due to childhood bypass.  without having to complicatingly explaining it, the old ponies weren't for boys; too girly and pretentious for even girls to be honest.  So when everyone heard there was a new line of ponies, the first thought was "Pfft, sure", but then the advert came on, the first thing that got everyone were their fun, energetic designs.  It was only a matter of time for some people to watch it and fall in love with the show (don't roll your eyes, you know what I mean).

     I still think the show is for little girls, it's just not about preparing for parties, making dresses, etc. the show is actually about the characters and their situations and conflicts, which makes it more believable and honestly more interesting.  There's no pillow-cushioning this show, the characters do big things like, quests, mysteries, adventures, and fight monsters (they fight! Kick! POW! THWAMP!! They even occasionally fight each other!).  And in some episodes, you even get to watch some of the characters have Mental Breakdowns; which are very fun and enjoyable; they also make tons of lovable faces.

    Unlike the last My Little Pony shows, The Characters are unique and Iconic which allows there to be conflict with each character, which results with... A STORY?  Which in respect, I learned that the old shows from the 80's and 90's did have story to their episodes that allow character development, but in the past-recent years, My little pony was just a line of air-headed sell out; but, hope returned with the G4!
It's not that the girls don't do "girly things", they're still girls, it's that each character has their own personality and the show opens up for variety and huge relief of the clichés.  The Characters and their interactions are well-rounded and dynamic, which allows each episode to have something new for each and all characters.  It's even possible to find episodes where the characters don't get along.

Character means personality, personality means uniqueness, Uniqueness means conflict, conflict means plot, and plot makes a Story!

I can't force you to watch it, nor will I try to, but I am here to say that I like this show.  And the more I watch this show, the more I get drawn into it!  it's actually a TV show I don't want to miss, and season 2 has already arrived

If there's any better explanation for this show, it's left to the hands of Chad Rocco.  see his video- Familiar Faces- My Little Pony Retrospective pt. 2

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-
Five Stars ***** (fun, charming, emotional, hilarious, exciting, and well-rounded)

THE MY LITTLE PONIES ARE EVERYWHERE

    Even I can say I was already thinking it was a silly show, but then one character (usually Pinkie) would say something funny and I'd be running out of my room saying "what did she say?".  though me saying this as an honest fact, the one thing that would/would've kept me and a whole lot of people off this show was the fact that over a thousand guys in their 20-50's were obsessed with the show.  But all prevails and I started watching the show, and I actually love it.

The scary thing that is happening is there are those Bronies (boys fans of My Little Pony) are trying to get their friends into the show, and I think I've even came to that.

It's hard to believe that a guy like me, who loves Horror, Action Thrillers series Like Hellboy and Batman, would actually come to watch My Little Pony.  Unfortunately I've been told by all my friends that like the edge that I've been annoying them with the show, and I didn't even realize I was doing that! So to my embarrassment, I was inspired to draw this political cartoon-

gotta learn the boundaries, but how strong are those borders anyway?
