In that year I have had to ground her from watching this show because she has such a bad attitude after she watches it, it never fails. Today was the last time she will ever watch it. They might try to teach good lessons but my daughter is just picking up the bad attitudes that some of the ponies have had. Had useful details 1.
Read my mind 2. Bad influence My 5 yo loves this show, and started watching it as her go to show a month ago. I have noticed she has been more disrespectful lately and finally realized that a lot of her new alarming behavior is likely coming from what she is seeing on this show. The ponies tend to be mean, catty, inconsiderate and whiny. The fact they teach a good lesson at the end does not make up for the awful behavior many of the characters have throughout each episode.
We are not letting her watch it anymore as it affects her too much. Adult Written by amandakhirsch August 11, The ponies model nasty ways of talking I trusted the glowing Common Sense Media review of this show and let my daughter watch it, and at first I liked it for the reasons the review said - all about friendship etc.
But as we watched more episodes I got uncomfortable with how nastily the ponies often speak to each other and how much they fight. Yes, they make up, and learn about friendship, but I don't think it's necessary or appropriate for them to fight or speak unkindly to each other as much as they do. That's not something I want modeled for my daughter. Adult Written by songbird November 22, Had to Take a Break from Ponyville My 4 year-old daughter loves this show, but we have had to take a break.
Yes, the show has some good messages about friendship and some strong female role models and this is all good. However, I found that my daughter was mimicking some of the ponies' bad behaviors ie. There are also some scary moments in some of the episodes.
I don't think this show is appropriate for kids any younger than 5, given these "elements. Helped me decide. Adult Written by Fluttershy Oakley August 4, This stuff is dangerous There's a reason I advise you caution before watching this or allowing anypony else to do so; after you have seen it, your life will be over.
From the sheer quantity of adorable characters to the sheer quantity of adorable story-lines to the unfathomable brilliance of the script this "kids" programme will steal your heart. There are only two problems with it, the first being that there simply is is not enough of it. Secondly, it can cause you become entirely disenchanted with the world within which we live and makes you long to live in Equestria, where each day is filled with love and friendship, and most trials in life can be solved by utilising these key principles.
Of the mane cast it's hard to envision somepony who wouldn't be able to associate with and pick out a favourite before sitting entranced, allowing the experience of their lives washing over them before going to bed and living in dreams made of hope and wonderment.
To understand truly just how good it is, one may wish to understand some of the internet wars relating to this show. Those enrolled in the fandom tend to express themselves articulately, honestly and with a strong sense of moral centricity that those who disapprove seem to lack.
When those in the anti-pony camp clash with bronies, the only negative point they seem to be able to invent is that because it's about colourful ponies it is lame. Awful argument, I hope you'll agree. Those who have joined the herd will counter with incitements of love, tolerance and courtesy in such vast proportions that it seems that all who have seen the show are imbued with greater abilities to cherish the beauty in life, such that previously they would have felt significantly less comfortable and inclined to do so.
In short, don't watch this programme if you: are scared by horses of the animated persuasion or feel irreversibly depressed whenever you experience joy of the highest calibre. Do watch it if you have any common-sense. Honestly, those few who don't like it must be misanthropic demons who have some kind of inability to feel happiness.
But you decide, watch the first Just fine. You will like it though. Had useful details. Adult Written by Mirtoy12 September 11, It is very nice but This is a very nice tv show for kids. I grew up with it. As a child I played with the toy characters from the serie.
I was a big fan. This show teaches us a lot for friendship. The thing I want to say is that there is something that is a drawback.
The show has six girls that are mane characters and best friends. At the last episode it is leaked that has not officialy air ,we see that two of the mane character and best friends stepping into a room as a couple.
A kid does not understand it but it is still a little awful. I do not have a problem that the are girls both but this is a kid show. Andthe characters are mane. They are not supporting. And when I show it I was very akward. Ir ruined my childhood memories. If it can change ,it must change. It is horrible.
Read my mind 1. Parent of a 2-year-old Written by Carling M. May 19, Catty and Mean. I just watch an episode called Fake it till you make it. Absolutely disgusting the messages.
Mean girls The sarcasm and attitudes in the cartoon are disgraceful. Here we are trying to teach our kids to be nice and anti bullying I watched my little pony original when i was a child and never remember this!!!!!! I will not allow my daughter to watch this show. The attitudes of the characters are honestly something i would never want my daughter to mimic. After all, this series was able to turn a lame franchise into something actually worth-watching.
I remember hearing about this show and how the main fan base for it wasn't little girls, but adolescent and twenty year old men. I had seen Bronies review it and so I started looking up clips from the show.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed them, so I decided to give the show a chance. By the end of the first two episodes I was hooked. Why does this show work? Well for one it has great characters with personality. Twilight Sparkle is the obsessive learner. Applejack is the honest hardworking apple bucker. Rainbow Dash my favorite Character is a loyal, but tough pony who always wants to win. Fluttershy is a kind and an adorably shy pony who is afraid of a lot of things but loves animals.
Rarity is a generous fashion designer who isn't a spoiled brat. And Pinkie Pie is just flat out random, she likes party's and represents laughter. There are other characters, like Twilight's pet dragon Spike, and the Cutie Mark crusaders, there fillies on a mission to get their cutie marks, which are symbols that tell what their special talent is. And there are also background characters like Derpy and Dr. The show is also funny, just like Phineas and Ferb this show knows how to make good comedy.
And also like Phineas and Ferb it has songs that are ridiculously catchy, just not in every episode. And the villains the girls meet are both threatening, and funny. Such as Luna, Discord, and the dragon. Don't assume this show is for little girls, because it isn't. She wrote episodes for Powerpuff girls and Foster's home for Imaginary Friends, two shows Craig created, so she knows how to make a show that will appeal to everyone.
Summer update. Summer is here, and Bronies all over the world are talking about Season 2 that started with a revival of the villain Discord. Season 1 was introducing the pony Twilight, and some of her friends called Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Princess Celestia. In the first season Twilight and her friends faced Nightmare Moon, and in another episode they have the best night ever at the gala.
There are small shout outs to Narnia the cartoon, and the Rover Dangerfield cartoon too. Whatever you like epic songs like At the Gala, want to soar in the sky with Rainbow Dash or want to see what the zombie pony hide watch this show. Season three ends with Twilight becoming an Alicorn. Don't think it's just a girls show, but look forward to nearly 30 minutes of unforgettable feel good where you might end up like a Brony like me.
This year is the final year of FiM and it's a good stop since there are a strong competition with of other new net streamed cartoons adults also enjoy these days on 4chan like Amfibia, Over the Garden Wall, that new adult bird TV show and on. Ever since I heard that TV. And I still enjoy watching it. Although its the fandom has grew, just like Angry Birds.
Many episodes have showed some signs that it had stayed true to the title the show had suggested. But I still love Bro Town and this show too. The characters are likable, even if some are cross like Derpy Hooves. Twilight is still a really useful characters. I love the fandom of this show. Take that Pearlie the dumb-blond fariy!! If I was a more bashful person, I'd be embarrassed about my borderline obsession. But I'm not.
You'll find me talking ponies to the dudeliest of dude-bros, defending my love for a kids' animated television series about magic, friendship, and little horses. And I'm not the only adult on board; there a plenty of "bronies" to back me up.
Having been a boy growing up in the '80s during My Little Pony's first major reign rein? I started watching it while recovering from a mean infection, and it quickly became my source for cheer, energy, and optimism. A year later, I re-watch episodes when I'm feeling down, because Friendship is Magic is, well, magical.
The series focuses on a group of five young mares, including main mane? The premise of the first season is as follows: studious, introverted unicorn arrives in small-town Ponyville at the behest of her princess-mentor to study the magic of friendship, a magic both literal and figurative.
The audience follows Twilight's struggles to make friends with a diverse group of ponies and learn how healthy relationships work.
Each pony has their strengths and weaknesses, which serve up both external and interpersonal conflict in each episode. Pinkie Pie is bubbly and extroverted, but suffers mood swings and self-esteem issues. Hardworking and honest Applejack has a hard time relaxing and asking for help. Rarity is creative and generous, but at the same time narcissistic and selfish.
Well-known for her strength and loyalty, Rainbow Dash struggles with insensitivity and apathy. Fluttershy is caring and emotionally trustworthy, but an extreme introvert with anxiety issues. At the end of every half-hour show is a simplified lesson, a report written by Twilight and her friends and sent by magical dragonbreath to the princess.
Friendship is Magic is compelling and refreshing, with strong writing and character development minus the violence and manipulation present in a lot of popular fiction.
The bright colors and lively animation evoke the emotional landscapes of characters and their world. The pony realm of Equestria is lush and deep. The show is a fantastic example of how good writing can make a non-violent utopia incredibly interesting. Seasons 1 and 2 focus on intra- and interpersonal conflicts many of us can identify with: struggling with self-confidence and the awkwardness of meeting new people, knowing when to ask friends for help, or figuring out how your inner demons affect how you see the world.
Occasional songs in the first two seasons amplify the themes and are integrated within the storyline. I find Season 3, on the other hand, somewhat lacking. The conflicts become more external and less interesting, there are too many awkward musical numbers, and the lessons are not as apparent or meaningful.
Creator Lauren Faust is my hero for writing the deep, diverse characters that make Friendship is Magic such a success. Previously best known for her work with The Powerpuff Girls, she's an outstanding storyteller rooted in girl power, and not just the pink, frilly kind.
More the pink, filly kind? Faust created, developed, and wrote for Friendship is Magic Season 1, and served as a consulting producer for Season 2. Perhaps Season 3 kind of sucked because Ms. Faust stepped out of the picture. Season 4 is currently airing, and I'll eventually watch it not for the stories, but to get a better picture of the world.
Equestria and its surrounding realms are pretty rad. From a feminist's perspective, I'll argue that Friendship is Magic kicks some butt. Despite or enhancing? The characters are deep, and the fillies do everything from designing dresses to herding rabbits to bucking at demon-wolves.
They do science and throw parties and compete in sports. They're multifaceted, real people who have their own individual personalities and needs, but work together to better each other and their communities. Plus, only two or three of the dozens of episodes I've watched reference romance, which seems to be the fallback theme for most girls' fiction.
How refreshing! Almost all recurring characters in the series are female, with male characters serving in comic relief or support roles. They're the business owners and government leaders, the movers and shakers from agriculture to industry.
Ladies tackle issues concerning security, skepticism, pacifism, and power. Occasionally, the female-centrism is interrupted by more obvious, harmful gender stereotyping; for example, an episode in Season 3 featured a rare male-dominated construction crew, the most dudes concentrated in one scene throughout the entire series.
Fillies can do anything; unfortunately, colts seem to be limited to construction work, castle guards, and the pony equivalents of pedicabs. The fact that Equestria and its provinces are ruled by monarchy is a bit upsetting to an anarchist who would have all her cartoons take place in consensus-based intentional communities. However, governmental control is loose at best, save for when the kingdom comes under attack and martial law is invoked.
Most ponies in Ponyville seem to go about their daily lives via the practice of mutual aid, and the importance of individuals in the community is at the center of many episodes' storylines. When ponies go through adolescence, they obtain "cutie marks" on their haunches, pictures or symbols that represent a part of a pony's identity or special talent. Because the ponies live in a utopia with seemingly unlimited privilege and resources, each pony is able to follow their passions, and is accepted into the community based on those passions.
The pony with the rolling pin cutie mark becomes the town baker, the mare sporting the scroll symbol becomes the librarian, and the colt possessing a drum on his flank is welcome entertainment. No one goes hungry; no one seems to suffer. Life as a pony seems pretty swell. Obviously, real life is not like Ponyville or Equestria, and their matriarchy, albeit peaceful, is still authoritarian.
But I think we can learn a lot from how individuals within their society treat each other. If we channel our inner Twilight Sparkles, we, too, can spend our lives learning about the power of friendship and community, how to respect and empower those around us.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic gives this cynical anarchist a little bit of hope, and I'm proud to call myself a brony. It's true what they say. This is at the top of mlp vs. It teaches a lot of great messages about friendship. A light comedy for all ages! Kids under 7 will love it, and so will their parents. It bodes well between different audiences of the time, unlike God, the Devil and Bob which was a great show that was short-lived because it did not bode well between different audiences of the time.
I love the characters, their colorful designs, their voices, the magic, the flying, and the songs. It also helped voice actors from western Canada Vancouver such as Andrea Libman, Ashleigh Ball and Cathy Weseluck get more well-known in the United States for good things, since the United States of America is this show's country of first publication.
I like Slice of Life stories because you can write whatever random grounded situation you want with the characters and learn great lessons from them. So I'm not sure why most season premieres or finales need to be epic 2-parters and suddenly become a different kind of show, because we don't need an overarching plot just for adults. Maybe I was born too early for this show, but then I wouldn't be able to be more analytical of things like this.
I think Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash make a really interesting cartoon duo. If I had any advice to give this program after 7 seasons, you should have your main characters together more often than you do in later seasons and give them different plots in the same episode like you have done a few times in earlier seasons, and give all of your primary characters more time with the cutie mark crusaders since they don't have a spin-off.
Also, you don't need seasonal arcs at all because TV-Y shows usually aren't a serial adventure drama. Anyone who wants that is expecting too much from MLP and taking it more seriously than it needs to be. This show's overall rating really needs to be much higher than 8 because it's barely not underrated at that level, so get some people who like the show of any age to come on here and give it 10 stars.
However, it does get pretty tired in Seasons 6 and 7. Film and TV. Jef Rouner September 9, AM. Don't worry friends and neighbors, One F isn't going all brony on you. Though I have long-since buried the hatchet with that community once I discovered some neo-Nazi had made a chart showing how MLP conflicted with proper fascist values, I remain baffled by the herd.
I wouldn't watch this show if I wasn't forced to. But forced I am, by the tiny dictator that lives in my house. I don't see what about the series would speak to a grown person, but as far as things my daughter insists on viewing over and over again it's not bad.
Not only is it not bad, it's objectively better than any cartoon I grew up with. My Little Pony is feminist. In fact, it probably has some of the best representations of female characters on television. These ponies are complicated, they break stereotypes and never rely on men to come in and save the day.
They do not fit into feminine stereotypes nor are they all masculine. They celebrate traditional femininity, traditional masculinity and androgyny. And none of the ponies seem to have an issue with this. We might get some pushback from the Bronies for putting Pinky Pie ahead of Rainbow Dash, but this author thinks Pinky Pie is just awesome. She brings a lot of the humor of the show who just pulls out the party cannon?
We wish everyone could have a friend like Pinky Pie to make them laugh. It challenges xenophobia Season 1, Episode 9 , takes on colonialism Season 1, Episode 21 and bullying Season 3, Episode 4.
Music is a large element of the show and is often used to move along the storyline. But the music is also a lot of fun. Pinky Pie is often found bursting into song; singing about cupcakes, laughing at danger and about how bison and ponies should get along after all, fighting gets you nothing but hoof and mouth disease!
