I think my favorite part about the show is the amount of influence the internet has been allowed over it. All the shout-outs they make that are quite obviously intended for older audiences are a nice touch.
It certainly doesn't hurt that the show has some pretty good slapstick/puns and hilarious visual gags. idk, it's usually pretty hard to identify exactly what makes a show good, but that was my best effort. |
Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: 16)
I can safely say the animation is done in a nice fashion. It certainly harkens memories of Foster's, and it's very evident that it's Faust on board with the work.
However, it's just not for me. Have fun, you guys, but I'll not be wagoning with you anytime soom. |
Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: 16)
Hey I'm not complaining about the show. It's just you don't often see people ranging from adolescent boys to grown men interested in a cartoon intended for young girls...unless it's something awesome like the Powerpuff Girls. That's completely understandable.

I never watched the show and I never will.
But I did join the pony avatar club. lol |
Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: 16)
I watch it because I can. It's a good show, imo, and it's pretty funny. Not to mention, it's damn entertaining. Something to waste my time on when I should be doing homework. xD I'm not a bandwagoner. Never have been. I dislike things generally BECAUSE too many people like it. This, however, is a different story. I like it because I do, and that's that.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: 16)
Never joined any bandwagon. The first episode IMO was good enough for me, and I guess I'm into it because I have a soft spot for childhood cartoons. I mean, I LOVE Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and this one has the same artist doing this one (I dunno if she also directed/produced Foster's as well, but both are just awesome)

I am, however, at least fairly certain that it's not just the novelty of a bunch of dudes watching My Little Pony that keeps me watching. The past few episodes definitely have a pretty steep upward trend, Cutie Mark Crusaders being the exception. I see a couple of people online trying to explain the appeal of the show by drawing comparisons between FiM and older shows that pretty much everyone adores, and I think they're definitely onto something. Spongebob Squarepants, Fosters Home, PPG, Animaniacs, and Rugrats are all shows which were famous for their use of jokes that the 'target' audience wouldn't get, but their parents would. I mean, didn't Animaniacs have a joke about fingering a guys anus at one point? This show is pretty much the same thing, having the target audience of younger children fawning over the ponies, and then the peripheral audience of older folks laughing at the Lord of the Rings and Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy jokes. |

At least this channel is alive. Watch them while you can before they take them down. |
Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: 16)
Make that 17.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: 16)
Well, rumors are flying around, and I can't guarantee any of this information is even slightly true, but it seems that the copyright claims weren't actually made by hasbro. Apparently, they have toy rights, Faust has show rights. And Faust has said that she is OK with youtube/piracy.
So I guess the current hypothesis around is that a spambot filed a bunch of claims, and once those are proven fake the channels will return. Time will tell, probably in the next few days. Especially since Faust is always talking with /co/ and DA. Also, pensivepony has part one of 21 up, and part two is linked on the channel comments as an unlisted youtube video so it won't be taken down. It's a really good episode too. edit: okay pensivepony now has both parts up, yay. |
