Tried watching a few episodes and I gotta admit the animation is top notch and there was a few chuckle moments but it's not my cup of tea. I don't hate Ponies (The word everyone is using for the title) It's just not my source of entertainment.
I don't understand the Hate against the show, But I also don't understand the massive amount of meme's and Fan LOVE that is rampant all over the Web. But I guess thats the point to spread the love and Friendship besides some could make the same "I don't understand" argument about the Furry Fandom So I digress and just let it be.
Anyway, I kinda see the show and many other things that come along that are INSANELY POPULAR with that line from Wall Street(2010) When the Shia LaBeouf Character is talking about his Clean energy plans and Micheal Douglass responds (Not Quote) How's its the "next bubble".
In my Mind - That's What Pokemon, Ripped Jeans, LA Gears, Backstreet Boys and now My Little Pony is. It's the next bubble that will float up and up and get everyone to love and adore it until it pops NOT because it sucks but only because it ran it's course and the populous finds something else to throw it's attention at. And like Pokemon and many other forms of medium it will live on in the minds of hardcore fans Or it might just be the next Simpsons but we just never know. Remember years ago everyone from Education Analyst to book enthusiast was saying the Harry Potter Series was going to start some sorta new entertainment medium filled with reading instead of Video games.
What the future holds is something wonderful to think about
