Poll: Favorite pony!

[MelancholyNat]

Ummm, i used to watch this show when i was younger, but i didnt know it was still on nowww.....

it was really girly, but it seems as though a lot of people like it now, and i'm into girly things, so i think i'll give it a tryyy

*sigh* What the hey, let's get into it. Might as well...

Well then you don't know the demographics for the Escapist then do you? I know of about twelve of those users who are under the age of 15.

So now cute is to be considered a bad thing then?

I didn't call Cute = Bad, I called an unbearable amount of it an indicator of a show probably meant for juveniles.

That's news to me, but to answer your question, when presented with the now 480 members, you should draw the conclusion that they're doing something right and its "worthy" of your attention. Or you know, you can ignore it, or continue to post like you have been.

So...numbers = right? Just hop on the bandwagon?

Your comment about an all female cast is so incredibly sexist that I don't even know where to begin; what is it about women that would make a show about them inherently boring? I would be insane to not watch "Drew Carey's Improv-a-Gazna" simply because it features more female comedians than "Whose Line is it Anyway?" did.

Ok, what the h*** now. How was that sexist? Are the vast majority of the cast female ponies, yes or no? Does it always end every episode spouting ideals about "friendship" like every other kid's show for girls that came out throughout the eighties and nineties, yes or no?

Secondly,(rather off topic and beside the point) I've never even heard of Improv-a-Ganza. I didn't know Drew Carrey made another show after that Green Screen one.

2.) Next, what's wrong with colorful? Do you refuse to play Team Fortress 2 because its color spectrum extends past brown and grey? "Team Fortress 2 looks like a Pixar movie; what kind of impression would you venture an person to logically draw about such a game?"
Is World of Warcraft too cartoony, too juvenile for your tastes?
Mario frankly beneath your level of manliness?

Ok, when did I have an argument against color or the cartoony? I don't have a problem with colorful contrast and cartoon-ishness (if that's even a word). I do however, have the ability to realize what demographic something is geared towards -aesthetics be d*mned- and one that is towards little girls and their parents is usually something I try to stay away from, seeing as how I fit neither.

For the record, Barney and Friends is pretty colorful too, but I don't suppose you'd watch that without being tied to a chair.

Logically, you would draw the impression that it is a terrible show for five year old girls, designed to get them to buy awful merchandise of colorful ponies, that forces rainbows and sunshine down the viewer's throat at all times, and that has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever...

...which is why it's so awesome that the show is actually good.

K, this reply actually made me go watch an episode. It does seem a substantial bit better quality than the phalanx of horrible kids shows that came out when I was growing up, but I'd still have to commit septiku if anyone ever saw me watching it.

It's a completely different show now. I think this series is G4. Just a heads up.

 

[Aidinthel]

What about TimeLord pony?

Dr. Whooves. And that would fall under "other". There are too many background and side characters to include them all in the poll, so I'd say limiting it to the main six is probably the best idea.

 

[T-Bone24]

It's a close tie between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Complete opposites.

Unless you were a kid in October 2010, you're talking about a different show. Friendship is Magic is totally different and, strangely and distressingly, really good.

At no point did I claim numbers meant it was immediately right, all I said was that it should give you pause for thought.

RD=TS=AJ=PP>Scoot=Rarity>FS>Appleblossom

And if you don't agree with me you're an idiot, sorry, it's true

The four top ones all have different but equally likable traits, Scootaloo's hair, Rarity too, but a little jarring so they aren't in the top, Fluttershy's annoying but nothing beats Appleblossom's irritation factor, with little redemption.

 

[Aidinthel]

And if you don't agree with me you're an idiot, sorry, it's true

This does not follow the teachings of the Ponies! All people are to be loved and tolerated, regardless of opinions. I am very disappointed to see one of the Herd has fallen from the true path.

STFU I'll pick favourites if I want to, Applebloom is terrible! As is the white Filly, that's how bad that character is, I can't even remember her name! Rarity's sister, I know that much.

Oh - and Down with episode 16!!!!!!!!1one (Seriously, I hate that episode *so* much, tried to slip "religion-logic" past us without me noticing straight away, and it was so deviously done!)

Having favorites is a natural consequence of the varieties of opinion. Insulting those who disagree is not. That "idiot" remark was not appropriate.

I know what episode you're talking about. I didn't like the moral either, and you know what? Neither did the creators. Hasbro forced them to put a moral in every episode even when they didn't want to.

I viewed it more as, "You won't always have the answers to everything, so when you don't have the answer to why something happens, don't deny it doesn't work." For instance, Psychics. The real ones have helped to solve crimes from half a world away, and I believe they do, regardless of how they did it.

IIRC Faust said the message in episode 15 was poorly worded. I might have the picture somewhere. The intended message is more along the lines of, "if there's all the evidence in the world that something does actually work that way, and you can't figure out why, you should still believe that it works that way", and not "believe what you can't explain because friends tell you to".

"Idiot" was in complete jest, could you not see I was joking at all? the whole "If you disagree with me it's only cause you're wrong" was a joke because we're talking about opinions, preaching to the choir here.

But, my faith was half-restored in the authors. Couldn't they instead have gone with the moral that "Even if something looks weird, or there are many coincidences, it doesn't mean it must be true, sometimes, a coincidence is a coincidence" < Though, they couldn't have made the episode like they did, since even rational people would think there has to be some merit to her "power" (Probability of the coincidences were so absolutely small it tends to 0)

So unless you're David Hume seeing over ten correctly predicted things in a row without one error is enough for me to believe it. I'm not taking leaps of faith, I'm using induction.

The way the episode was going I was hoping to see pinkie pie get untrue tremors, and the other ponies all ignoring them or dismissing them, and Sparkle putting it down to confirmation bias.

Now that would have been a cool episode, instead of this "You just GOTTA have faith!" moral which makes no sense at all!

Faust addressed this on her DA.

"if there's all the evidence in the world that something does actually work that way, and you can't figure out why, you should still believe that it works that way"

Something like that was the intended moral.

I would prefer to think of that moral as a way of teaching religious tolerance. Let's face it, in an increasingly secular society, it's possible that kids with atheist parents could pick on religious kids for believing in some 'mumbo-jumbo' they decline to follow. It's not 'believe in stuff even if there's no evidence', it's 'don't dismiss others' faith out of hand if you don't believe'.

Real Psychics do not exist and when JREF loses their million bucks (It's a huge "come at me bro", you think you are psychic? prove it!) to a psychic, I will believe they exist.

The JREF says they will give 1 million to anyone that can statistically prove they have paranormal powers. They have yet to get anyone past the preliminary "He might be onto something stage" and they've had it for thirty years.

One of Penn and Teller's first shows were to do with cold-reading psychics and psychic detectives, and their stats are really just guessing.

Unless you're the mentalist or Psych, because those guys aren't really psychic detectives

Fluttershy alldayeveryday!

Fluttershy, definitely.
Though I'm surprised Twilight is doing so poorly in the poll.
