Let me first preface this by describing my tastes: I am your typical teenage guy, age 15. I listen to electro, dubstep, and underground rap. I am a fan of RPG's, and adventure games mostly, holding story and writng first and foremost. I hang out with friends, I text girls, the whole package.Aight, so you know like the entire internet is pretty much on way over the other over this whole pony nonsense? Well, while I was bored tonight, i decided to check this out. After a quick look at the wikipedia article, I saw that it said something alon the lines of people going crazy over its story and characters, two of the highest things I hold in regards to most media. After a quick google search, I watched the first episode. And afterwards, I was confused. Why all the fuss over this? Now, I'm not hatin on it or anything, but I just don't get it. Its not shit like haters say, yet its not Jesus like the "bronies" claim, on the other hand. I couldn't tell at times if I was supposed to be laughing or not, most of the humor was just juvinle, slapstick mishaps, common in childrens tv. In regards to the characters, as with most tv, they usually get fleshed out in the future, however, most weren' that interesting. The rainbow one just came across as downright annoying. The protagonist I found amusing only due to the fact that she was saying pretty much word for word smartass comments I make towards my friends when were chilling, and they talk about me not being on xbox or something, and I joke about having a social life. Th Pink one was kind of amusing, I guess, with the only one to peak my interest was shutterfky, who even manged to coax a smirk from me. All in all, It just seemed like another children's show, pretty much like every show I hear in the backround while babysitting. However, I am open to arguments in favor of it from fans themselves. Does it get better later? Do I just not get it? I don't know. Convince me.
tl;dr: I watched the first episode and wasn't impressed. convince me otherwise.
Edit: okay, just to clear up, several people have said something along the lines of, "you don't need to like it." And some have even gotten angry over it. Please cut that out. I am not attempting to argue about something as trivial as a television show. I am not trolling.
