I'm so glad they brought the cast back together for the Rocksteady Games. Hearing the maniacal Mark Hamill laugh warms my heart every time. Or chills it. I forget which.Infernai said:
Anyway, Jokers come and Jokers go, but somehow Mark Hamill will always remain the constant Joke in my mind.
And you're awfully aggressive. I can understand not liking a cartoon. MLP:FiM is a divisive subject that you will either like or dislike. Suffice to say, it is purely opinion-based. You insist on talking down to the entire fanbase of the show, insinuating that they have some sort of deep-seated psychological problem that somehow makes them obsessed with the show. Last time I checked, I wasn't sexually molested by a clown wearing a pastel-coloured horse mask. Honestly, a scenario like that or similar to that is going to be pretty goddamn rare. Declaring them "emotionally disturbed"? You're fucking kidding me. You have to be.
There are two attitudes that I rather dislike. One that liking something (in this case, a cartoon) implies that you are dumb/have mental issues/etc or that not liking something (again, like a cartoon) means that you are dumb/presumptuous/a troll/etc. If you don't like ponies or anime or whatever the hell it is that you might dislike, you're entirely free to. Despite what some obsessives might say, it's not your obligation to watch, enjoy or even understand. But maybe lay off the open disdain and ultimately childish declarations of those people who watch and enjoy it in regards to their intelligence/emotional stability/whatever.

Its worse when you find their stash of MLP porn let me tell ya. I was going to let this fad slide until I learned it wasn't so harmless. I think its more to the point if something gets popular no mater how bad it is someone will still say its great.enzilewulf said:
Dingos eat ponies that why you can't find any. We have red necks where I am, they eat ponies too so I am safe.Typhoonis88 said:
My advice to anyone who wants to watch it, is to take it with a grain of salt. It's a great show, but don't go into it with the hype in your mind, also don't go watching thinking, "Hahaha, this will be so bad it's funny!" Watch it like any tv show you normally would, and you'll find yourself loving it.
i dont have cable, i watched it on youtube. however, ive heard that austrailia has a pretty steep limit on bandwidth.Typhoonis88 said:
i wouldnt call it anime really, its anime in the same way fosters home for imaginary friends is anime. anyway, its a reimagining of my little pony with strong characters, good writing, and good animation. certainly not for everyone but it has become popular with adult males who feel that a show can still be good even if its cute and sweet enough to give you diabetes
ps-i appreciate you forming your question out of curiosity and not the typical, "i dont know what this is by im gonna assume it sucks" stance that most anti-mlp folk have

Resisting the urge to post a big haters gonna hate picture. I'll settle with the one above.
If being "emotionally disturbed" means liking things out with CoD and Halo and something that's a little bit different then sue me, I must be one of those people you've stereotyped into one big group without cause or reason.
Oh no! Bright colors! That must mean there's something wrong with me! I'll just go back to enjoying something that's enjoyable to me.
In the end it comes down to this.
Because I'm happy with my choice in what I watch.
The entire internets was spammed with ponies for months now and you didn't notice?
Well it's the new "cool" movement like emo, goth, juggalo, justin beaver,... and many more before it, get with the times man!

Google? Search bar?
Wikipedia?
The search bar would be your preferred method of acquiring such information in the future lad. As you can see, these threads usually devolve into something of a mess rather quickly. MLP:FiM is a fine show, and worth giving a shot. However it is not everyone's cup of tea. That is all.

I've watched a few episodes of this thing and, to be honest, I neither love it nor hate it. As far as I can see it's just a kid's programme, admittedly a good quality one, but it's not particularly remarkable for anything other than this weird cult-following it's got.
You may not like mlp, but by god do I enjoy your posts in this thread XDIrony said:mrdude2010 said:oh there have been other times, but you've probably never heard of them (^.^)Irony said:wizard_joe88 said:
Ironically watch something? Man, that's so brilliant! This must be like the first time ever that anyone's done that!
Oh. Okay. Well I guess I'll have to keep an ear out to hear of them.
The trend has reached AUS. Definitly. Whether or not the show itself has reach remains to be seen, but the trend is certainly here.
Like every other post, I'll say go watch it. It's not as great as it seems to be made out to be, but it's by no means a bad show.

because it's nice, funny, and happy, and because of the strong characterisation and animation, ridiculously cute at times. Plus it lends itself incredibly well to stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irQ_d78feMA
