So basically, I watched episodes 4,5 (apparently, It's a good idea to skip the pilots because they suck, and since "bronys" tend to somehow squeeze into every online community possible I had a clear grasp of things.)and also the first episode of season 2.
What struck me the most was...the mediocrity of it. The animation is in flash, and with this artstyle the artists aren't paying much needed attention to details. Also, the animation itself seems kind of clunky.
The second thing was the characters. I mean, come on, those are just paper cliche cutouts that you see in almost every kid's show! Hell, compare the mlp cast to recess and you'll see just how alike they are. The biggest problem here, is that characters with established personality like that don't have much room for improvement and generally will remain the same through entire show. The only interesting character I saw was discord, and that was due to his villainous nature.
And the think that was the final nail into the coffin, the harshness of the message this show is supposed to send. Seriously, the episodes all lead to a climax, conclusion that is almost always the same "friendships is great", "never give up"... the list just goes on and on.
Anyway, this is my personal statement on the show, and even now after watching it i STILL have no clue how could a show like this get such a great following. Either way, I won't be coming back to it any time soon.
and by any time soon I mean ever again |
