    Just finished watching all the episodes. It really is enjoyable stuff, but I'm not sure it's worth the beating I'm taking from friends over it.

    The sleepover and psychic pinkie episodes were typical kids crap though.

    Episodes like Dragonshy and Rainboom make up for that. Would love a decent game based on this series.

    Confound these ponies. Why do I love them so? Is it their whimsical nature? Is it to fulfill a want of friendship in a world so cold and friendless? Is it a desire to return to innocence, to a time before deadpan and cynicism? God only knows, /co/. But it keeps me up at night.

    I feel she'll become more and more drag-queen-y as the show progresses.

    Sometimes, becoming popular ruins things, but only because of CHANGES in those things brought on BY becoming popular.

    In an effort to appeal to a 'wider audience', many fringe titles can and often do utterly lose track of the qualities that made them both fringe AND successful in the first place.

    It works like Jedi. Every show can only have so much love, and that love is divided between all the fans. If too many people love it, the show's love is divided until it loses it's "cool," and the cool factor of hating it surpasses that of liking it.

    I'm pretty sure all those Sonic fans really like Sonic because he's fast and he's edgy and he's got attitude and he always saves the world... but the fanbase is shit precisely because that's the depth and breadth of their interest in the franchise.

    Sure, there are those who like the gameplay, but they're not really part of the fanbase proper, much like /co/ isn't part of 4chan proper.

    I agree, I don't even tell other people I know who post on 4chan that I watch ML, the fanbase is just.... attracting elements that it didn't have when it first started who's company I, nor my friends enjoy.

    Pretty much. Here's an obvious example; I really enjoy the work of Jhonen Vasquez, but the undying tides of stupid fans and merchpocalypse that happened when he struck it big with Invader Zim sucked a lot of the authenticity out of his work. Not because his work suffered much from the attention, but it did lose some of it's specialness.

    I still enjoy his art and have bought several of his prints recently, I just feel like I lose credibility for mentioning that I like his art because people in general can't easily separate the fandom from the fans.

    >weirdo 20%
    I think you underestimate just how many weirdos it takes to ruin the image of a fanbase.
    1% weirdos is normal, 5% weirdos is a popular franchise with nerd-appeal (say Spiderman), 20% weirdos is a popular franchise with massive nerd-appeal (say Star Wars), and full-on niche franchises have massive amounts of weirdos (Star Trek, Joss Wheadon stuff)

    The fanbase went to shit when the games went to shit and Sonic had more fans because of the Archie comics and Shadow the Hedgehog than fans of the game.


    And this whole fanbse thing . . . honestly, I think the majority of the world and the internet as a whole is more unaware of MLP's fanbase than aware of it. It's just that the damn show is called "My Little Pony."

    Kids, I swear I'm gonna love all of you, and equally.
    I'll be dividing my love into seven equal sections, or love quadrants.
    Each quadrant will be worth 15 love units represented by these small brass marbles.
    You may use these marbles as currency amongst yourselves.
    Collect 35 love units, you can trade those in for a beach towel with my face on it.

    I could write an entire fucking essay on the many ways the Sonic fanbase has been utterly fucked up. It's not just one cause, though it can generally be traced to the general decline of the franchise.

    Suffice to say, the problem with Sonic fans is that there's not just one type of maniac. There's just about every kind of horrible fan, creepy furvert, nostalgia freak, fanfic writer, canon nazi, and everything else you can imagine under the banner of that goddamned blue mutant.

    I think that not mentioning someone because of popularity is a worse case of being inauthentic. It's perhaps my personal opinion, but I try to see work as a separate entity from the fans, and to a degree, even from the creator itself.

    Exactly. I can say, "I really like the animation, the well balanced characters and their relationships, the backdrops, and the incidental music in FiM. Plus I'm a long-time fan of Lauren Faust and I'm really glad to see such a talented and creative mind working on a show that has a positive message for young girls." but nobody would outright associate those views with a typical pony fan who is more or less (according to these threads) "hurrdurr. fluttershy's my waifu. me watch show for little girls. me so ironic."

    Honestly, I don't really like the fandom on /co/ and I'm sure I would like it even less in person.

    I can't understand people who let a fandom ruin a show for them. Unless the fans are determining the content of the show (which hardly ever happens, and with good reason) there's no reason for that. Hate the fanbase if you must, but recognize that it and the show are two separate things.

    In many cases the creators of a show with a crappy fanbase hate the fanbase just as much as you do. But what are they supposed to do? Cancel their successful series and go work at Burger King?

    Thankfully, MLP's fanbase is awesome.

    Actually there's a fair amount of that shit with Mario fans (see Rule34 if you have the guts) but it's relatively under control because the games have legitimate fans of the gameplay.

    And also character and species variety, so at least the legions of fancharacters aren't all copies of less than a dozen actual characters.

    It is a real shame, too. I was a fan back in the Genesis days, with Sonic 1-3 & Knuckles. Occasionally, with episodes like Sonic Rain Boom, I think cross over art or scenarios might be cool. Then I remember how much the Sonic fan community is hated and cry a little bit in my sleep.

    Well extreme cases of a fanbase ruining the fun of a show as Deathnote. While I enjoyed it, it became more and more difficult to discuss it. Eventually things got way too out of hand, and everyone just avoids the issue.

    It is ruined in the sense that it can no longer be openly discussed.

    While I'm in Sonic rant mode, that franchise is a good example of the kind of shit that happens when a fanbase has any actual influence over a franchise.

    They focused on (terrible) plot and cramming in as many characters as possible to appeal to the fans, and gameplay suffered. Repeat until 06 when this shit reached critical mass.

    Also, Mario games have always been based on solid gameplay and well-designed levels, plus interesting characters and enemies and fun, interesting environments. The Paper Mario games are the only ones with real plot, and they happen to actually pull it off while remaining light-hearted.

    Sonic's been basically recycling the same shit, gameplay and level design wise, since the Genesis era. Name a single Sonic level past the first 3 games (fuck, first 2 games) that you actually remember for being interesting.

    (well actually a lot of Sonic Heroes levels looked pretty awesome, even if the actual gameplay sucked)

    Sonic Adventure, Sonic X was based on it.

    Anyway, Sonic's been getting better, really. Black Knight wasn't as terrible as everyone thought (and still think). Half of Sonic Unleashed (for 360/PS3 only) was the best sonic game since S3&K, the other half was Battletoads.

    And no real expanded universe to speak of either. That's what got it all started for Sonic; the character and plot creep in the games immigrated from the comics and shows. Say what you want about Nintendo's laughable attempts at making a movie and TV series out of Mario; it turned out better in the end than if they'd been good.

    I'm sorry but that's completely ridiculous. Art exists to be shared. The more people see and enjoy it, the more meaning it gains, because everyone takes something a little different from it. And that reflects back on the artist, who has shared a little piece of himself with all those people. It becomes MORE meaningful as people consume it, not less.

    That should be obvious from the countless fanworks the MLP fanbase has generated. It's not like any of us writefriends or our drawfriends are getting paid for this. We do it to share with other fans. And for attention.

    It must just be me but one of the reasons (along with the fact that the show actually being good) I enjoy MLP so much is the community surrounding it. Seems like only 20-something guys who really like the show post about it and some of the stuff they make is pretty awesome.

    Of course no fandom is perfect. There are people who have problems with moderation, and the plain sick types, but overall I think FiM has a good group of people supporting it.

    I'm a musician and only really speak from my experience. The most incredible moments for me have been the one of kind "you had to be there" moments. A friend singing a song just for you, an impromptu 70 person jam on Sweet Home Alabama, hanging out with one of your favorite bands in their tourbus after a show, a house of 10 or so all singing harmony on a special song...

    Sure my goal as someone with a story to tell is to share it with the world at large, but I do believe that the more it's shared, the less meaningful it is for the consumer. Otherwise people wouldn't purchase prints, or animation cells. They're special because it creates a unique bond between the artist and consumer.

    I'm really happy for everyone who's worked on this show for all the attention they've been getting. They deserve all the praise they get.

    Y'know, Derpy becoming a running gag is probably the most benign kind of fanservice. It's not taking over the plot or turning off anyone, and it gives a background character a cute gimmick that may well sell more toys of it.

    This. The Sonic games have these incredibly cheesy, awful stories that read like 6th grade fanfiction. Which is especially sad because during the Genesis era Sonic had practically no story to speak of. "Free the animals that got turned into robots." That's all. It kept it simple, and that's part of why it was so appealing. Now you need two hands and a roadmap just to figure out the convoluted plotlines in the Sonic games. That limits the appeal to all but the most hardcore fans. And hardcore Sonic fans...are scary.

    Meanwhile, Nintendo has kept it simple with Mario for 25 years and no one's complained. The games are pure gameplay, and the plot is never anything more than "Mario is a heroic plumber. He wants to save this Princess." And that's how we like it. The simplicity means that anyone, even someone who's never played a video game in their life, can understand Mario.

    I'd say they succeeded in interesting character design. That said, none of them are really characterized beyond one sentence (she's a princess, that's the bad guy, Mario is a plumber who jumps on things), but the artistic design on the characters has a timeless quality, and something about Bowser feels almost mythical, hearkening to the knight vs Dragon tails that the game is obviously based off of.

    Mario is the most popular video game character in history, and one of the most recognizable fictional characters on the face of the Earth.

    There must be SOMETHING interesting about him. That sort of thing doesn't just happen by accident.

    The flimsy excuse is that we don't want to become like them, not that there's too much a chance of that happening. In fact we're the opposite, fans of a formerly shitty franchise that suddenly turned really good.

    Is someone not over the Genesis vs SNES wars?

    Okay, kidding aside and treating this seriously, I really can't say I agree. Mario has always stood out as a contrast to the flow of the market he's been in, having designs that are influenced by classic timeless animation rather than cultural whims.

    It came out in the late 80s and had some popularity in the early 90s, where everything was going Grimdark and Serious scowling and what not. Sonic is a product of that. A real Power Ranger (Alpha, find me some teenagers with attitude!). I'll give you that some of the Mario characters are generic, Yoshi I'm looking at you. Peach to a lesser extent.

    But seriously. The artistic design is unique in it's influence.

    And I think it's time for me to talk more abotu ponies and less about N vs S.

    If you knew anything about SEGA, the original Sonic team hasnt made a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure. SA2 was made by Sonic TEAM USA, which was a new team, and then after the DC died, SEGA merged with Sammy which then made all of the in house teams play musical chairs. Naka bailed and now Sonic TEAM is completely new people. Like what happened to the last few seasons of Dexters lab.

    I've never been a big Nintendo person and its always bugged the shit out of me how Nintendo has so many hardcore dicksuckers out there. I guess I can see the anti-pony side of the arguement when I relate it to Nintendo. None of the characters are all that good and the games are all mediocre to decent. Yes, I love Donkey Kong Country and Kirby all Stars, but I dont go about thinking they are the best thing ever.
    I've been a Sonic fan since 91. As such, Ive been in the fandom for fucking ever, and I really hate how pretty much everyone instantly talks shit about it and Sonic in general without knowing shit about it. So excuse me if I call hypocracy bullshit on all the ponies in here who should excercise more restrain when they face the same thing. The haters en masse think were all insane without knowing anything about us, much like how all the sonic haters do to sonic.

    Really, you should know better than that by now. Sonic also has interests outside of games, like multiple comic runs and television shows. Being a part of the fandom in general means you can like one (like Ian Flynns run on Archie Sonic) and despise another (Sonic Heroes - Unleashed). Much like how I can be a brony and still loathe Gen 1.
    Also, if you let gamerankings rule your world, you must think Kingdom Hearts is the best thing ever

    Basically the difference between the versions is, the wii version has no free roaming town, absolutely retarded motion controls, levels so completely barren they feel like training mode, a multi-level tutorial (in the 360 version the tutorial is over and done with in 30 seconds), more werehog, motion controls for the werehog, and it uses a much worse game engine ripped out of secret rings instead of the hedgehog engine.

    Boy, if you were listening, I said I grew up on Sonic. I love the Sonic. I love Runs Fast and Spin Dashes robots. He's my childhood bro. I purchased a couple of the GPA titles that gave me nostalgia bliss. I got collections so I could play classic Sonic without breaking out the Gen. I got the other so I could play Sonic CD. I'll admit that I'm not the BIGGEST fan in the world, but I'd be damned if I let "nintendo fanboy" sit unanswered.

    Nintendo won me over on Mario 64. I also played the classic Mario games on my cousin's SNES, but Sonic was the one for me.


    However, just like your accusation of calling me a "Nintendo fanboy" your claims seemed based on nothing more than your feelings, rather than anything even slightly more objective.

    What you did, accusing fans of "dicksucking" Nintendo with false praise, while then settling back on Sonic as misunderstood is kind of like . . . hmm . . .

    It's like calling Pixar overrated while saying Dreamworks is awesome. Not a single goddamn person in his right mind will agree with that statement when you present it thusly.

    Really? You think I wouldnt get a bit 'turbed when the usual Mario legion comes marching in one someone mentions Sonic and immediatly starts jacking themselves off about how great MArio is when no one asked, just to rub it in the faces of teh guys who actually were talking Sonic. I ahte that shit and it ALWAYS happens. And yes, I do have some nostalgia for sticking with it, I'm sure, however it is true to say that I think Nintendo as a whole is waaaay overhyped.

    not the same guy, but i still say sonic won the 16 bit wars. he had better games then. But yeah, the whole battlefield changed with Mario 64. Sega tried to imitate it and fell short pretty hard. And now Nintendo is starting to ruin their own franchises (Metroid and Star Fox are basically dead now, with Zelda not even presenting half a challenge anymore, and Kirby was never a hugely popular series to begin with), so Sega has to find their own thing to do since Nintendo is running on pure fanboy fuel.

    The new Mario games are awesome though, I can't in all honesty diss them.

    You see, that's not how I saw it going down at all. I think you're simply knee jerk reacting and labeling as a means of a misguided self-defense or reaction to previous stings.

    I'm not sure I'd declare Metroid dead. They've done like one thing since the awesome Prime series (wasn't a fan before that, so Prime didn't "ruin" anything for me with the FPS switch). And Other M wasn't even a Nintendo production. Agreed about Star Fox though. Adventures and Assault. God. At least Adventures was an alright game if Fox was hastily tacked on.

    Can't comment on Zelda since I haven't played since Wind Waker. Isn't Twilight Princess supposed to be the best one since Orcina?

    I thought Assault was good. I was referring to Command. Command was a goddamn tragedy.

    Prime was good, a lot of Metroid fans I know liked it, because at its core it was still Metroid, it had sequence breaking, hidden upgrades, and other metroid staples. But Other M was terrible regardless of who made it, it had none of those things and pretty much assassinated Samus's character.

    I liked TP, but it was too easy. If the boss fights had any degree of challenge to them, at all, they would be the most epic I'd ever seen. But as it is, Link practically has more life than the boss. Zelda needs a hard mode otherwise it's going to become boring.

    You're in /zombo/, the limbo where threads exist shortly before they die. Anything can happen here.
