Action Hank knew years ago that Bronies would rise up.

Action Hank, half muscle, half beard, all hero.

My wallpaper is now of Action Hank, and I will be seeing if I can make this my avatar too. I'm just sick to death of this MLP meme disease now. It's gone on far too long for my tastes.

The characters are generic. THAT'S THE GODDAMN POINT. They each represent a basic character archetype. Remember, this show is aimed at 5 year olds, they wouldn't exactly have a sociapath with father issues and a fetish for tying people to cars and raping them as a main character.
It really simply lies in ones own ability to enjoy a basic fun show.

Some could argue that there are similar things, such as Pinkies schizophrenia or Fluttershy's flutterrage...

I love Action Hank! \m/ But...I have yet to see an episode of MLP, maybe I should remedy that...

Tommeh only has himself to blame for not being smart enough to see the deep characterization that serves as the icing on age-old cakes.

Please,I could use that same argument to prove that bevis and butthead are geniuses that reaveal the meaning of life. The characters are bland predictable and stereotypical. Johnny test has characters of the same depth.

What is the excuse for all the "serious" shows like Weeds, Glee, Camelot, Sparticus: blood on the sand? Those are the most generic shows I ever seen, pretty much every Prime Time show is a walking cliche and relies on the same cheap gimmicks for viewers.

MLP isn't supposed to be serious, what is TV's excuse for all the other shows it craps out?

those shows are just as bad, dosnt make mlp any better.

Action Hank loves ponies. He just shows his affection by throwing punches.

Aww...

Eh, this whole "better" idea doesn't make sense, MLP is not bad for what it is trying to do. Someone who uses the whole "Story" argument against it doesn't understand what makes a TV show, good. I would find it hard to believe anyone would call The Simpsons or Seinfeld a bad show and neither of those two had storys. This whole "Generic Characters" argument seems to be pulled out of the ass, the characters are colorful and so are their interactions. You might be able to say all six of these characters have been done before, but I employ you to come up with a original, never been done before character, that doesn't sound ridiculous. Maybe its not the greatest show of all time, but its by no means a bad show.

What do people see in this show? I mean, given the fact that I'm an anti social, people avoiding, baby hating, reproduction opposing, misanthrope it's clearly not meant for me, but STILL. Even if I was a sociable person it's a bad show on its own merits. The story is shit, the characters are generic and dull, and its a bunch of fucking horses.

That's pretty much all your slightly, not completely, intolerant opinion. Except the generic characters part. Pretty much all the characters are unique, believable, and non steriotypical [/quote]

The characters have been done before, such as but not limited too: The annoying person with a southern accent who's extended family has more people in it than the rest of the world combined, the childish one who acts like a crackhead, the shy one, the introvert, (the only relate-able one,) the stuck up one. IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE AND BETTER!

Oh Genndy Tartakovsky, why did you have to stop making sure awesome stuff got made? Also his group already had a name but I just can't think of it right now.

Prepare to get Brunched!..In the face.

Wasn't Tartakovsky in some way involved in the new pony stuff? I heard it was made by people related to the PPF Girls (hence the look), which Tarta invented, so...

Really? I could've sworn I read about him bowing out of the business entirely in 2003-4... Oh, well.

Every time someone says something bad about a Brony, they reply, "OH, WHAT? YOU DON'T LIKE ME BECAUSE I LIKE SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE? WELL GEE WILLICKERS."

No, we don't like you because you make everything pony related. Your avatars, usernames, signatures, hell, FPSBanana is even being flooded with garbage pony retextures. If you weren't such loudmouth morons about it, I'd be fine. You don't see me naming myself "Edward Elric" or something on this forum.

TL;DR: People don't dislike bronies for liking MLP, they dislike bronies for being loudmouths about it. Calm down and get a hobby.

P.S: Yes, I registered for the sole purpose of posting this. I've spoken my piece.

EDIT: On another note, fuck TV; it spawns idiots. MTV, MLP..FOX..
