![]() ![]() My point is, the plot of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is no more mind-blowing than its characterization. ![]() After all, it’s not like superhero teams that are not also talking ponies are hard to find. So does My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic being about a group of superheroes with the surprisingly effective secret identities of a girl’s toy line from the 80s explain bronies? I mean, guys really like superheroes, and that outweighs objections to ponies, right? Well, not exactly. In case you have not yet seen the movie and/or episodes in question, the answer is both. Now, was I describing the plot of the first two episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or the plot of the recent Avengers movie? Six heroes must learn to work together and combine their special talents to meet this threat. Eventually, this younger sibling returns, threatening the world. The younger, dark-haired member of a pair of siblings destined to rule a magical realm rebels against the older, fair-haired sibling and is banished to the inky blackness of space. Heck, she’s not even the only wacky cartoon Pinkie. ![]() Pinkie Pie is a wacky cartoon character, which is pretty common in cartoons, in case you have not yet noticed. Applejack may be my favorite, but you can guess her character traits just by looking at her design. However, they are hardly earthshaking in their originality. I have heard a lot about how well-written the characters are, and will admit that the six main characters are each readily-identifiable and distinct from one another. In point of fact, it is not that groundbreaking its true strength as a show lies in how old fashioned it is. I can admire and respect the show for those qualities but, at the end of the day, I cannot get worked up enough about it to apply some kind of label to myself. No, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a decent show, with appealing animation, great voice work, decent characterization, a guaranteed belly laugh every other episode, and tight story structure. I am not a bronie, in case you still think that is what I was confessing. You want to know which is my favorite pony, and why. I assume that includes my genes.Īll this is just to answer a question I know you are already asking. I heard that the dust got into everything during the worst of it. I come from the area of the USA most heavily devastated by what is now known as the Dust Bowl, which caused a mass migration of farmers who are now known as “ Okies.” To this day, the population density of “No Man’s Land” is so sparse, it is still considered unsettled territory. On the other hand, I am also thoroughly proud of it. On one hand, it is something I am ashamed of. I try to put up a façade of elite, cynical snobbery, but in point of fact, I am very much a hayseed. Finally, I feel I understand where these “bronies” are coming from. In preparation, I decided to sit down with the first season of said Hasbro property. At least that is a Hasbro property people actually want a movie of. I realized last week, when Hasbro thought it was a good idea to release a movie based on Battleship, that I will probably be reviewing a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic movie within the next couple of years.
