I'm sorry but why is it that every pony pic is oversized, did people on the internet suddenly forget to learn how to resize images when MLP came out?ninonybox360 said:
Seriously, gif avatars on this site got capped hard, yet pony fans get post huge pics like this with impunity?
This is one of the reasons people on the site don't like MLP fans, too many pony pics and the pics are way too damn big.
At least when I try to post pictures I at least hide them with aRednog said:I'm sorry but why is it that every pony pic is oversized, did people on the internet suddenly forget to learn how to resize images when MLP came out?ninonybox360 said:
In all seriousness though, the writing is good, story's are engaging, characters well rounded, its funny, and it has a ton of fan input.

And that was the only thing I was warning against!
OT: The show is actually quite fun. Just try a few episodes (As usual, the first couple in a series aren't really up to snuff with the rest of the show, but they do introduce the characters, so its good to watch them, but don't judge the show by them (Until at least episode 5)).
There's no harm in giving FiM a try. Your typical episode is only twenty minutes long. You may like it or you may not, but at least you can say you gave it a shot.
(oh crap, I just pulled a Zecora there, didn't I?)
Personally I enjoy the show. The animation's pretty slick given what they have to work with (Flash and a shoestring budget), the characters are genuinely likeable, the songs are catchy as hell, and there's lots of subtle references to pop culture and internet memes. But that's just me.

I highly doubt that, and I fixed it. I was not to sure what counted as to big, i had my suspensions though. But Im sure that's not a main reason for the hate.Rednog said:
I think you should give it a fair chance to present itself, just like anything else you're curious about.
If you do decide to give it a try, there are a few things you should know:
The pilot episodes are not really bad, it's just that they're different from the rest of the show. The pilots are more about adventurous stuff (evil moon-goddesses, giant rainbow lasers made out of friendship and magic, fighting manticores, etc.) than the majority of the regular episodes. They're also a bit more dry because they need to set up the characters and setting. The regular episodes tend to focus more on humour, character, and slapstick.
I would also recommend watching up until episode 5 or 6 before deciding whether or not you like it. The first 3 episodes are kind of rocky (the two pilots being different, and the third having a plot you've seen in every children's show ever), but they take a dramatic upshot in quality after that.
You could also have a gander at some of the better fanfiction, fanart, and fan music that the show has produced. Some is is really quite astounding.
