All i can say is that this thread is getting very silly.
But if people of an older age want to watch my little dogfood then so be it, as long we who dissaprove it come round to their house to tut loudly at them.

I am gonna Pony this thread up something terrible when I get to a desktop computer.
Of all people here, am I seriously the only one who will admit to really liking this show? And how many of you dismissing it have actually watch past the (admittedly twee) scene setting pilot? It gets *loads* better after that. Watch "Party of One" and tell me you didn't laugh even once. I won't believe you.

Does this count as ponying up this thread

Since you're obviously using your own judgement rather than any uninformed stereotyping, I respect your right to your opinion, Rui.
As you didn't like the characters, I would be interested to know what you think of this statement by the show's creator, and the article that inspired it. After watching an entire series I thought the leads were all really good, multi-dimensional strong female characters, but perhaps we're not looking at it from the same angle?

Even though I didn't personally like the characters, that's absurd, haha. Rainbow Dash was one of the less annoying ones by far.
I'm hoping it's sarcasm but the fixation on racism in cartoons which always seems to pop up in the US drives me barmy. None of them come very close to approaching an actual human skin colour <_<

ayase, saying you should watch something to form an opinion is flawed logic. Everyone has things they will choose not to watch just because they don't like the look of it and not everyone has time to watch everything. If you say you don't do this, you are flat out lying. Let people decide to watch it or not and stop being so butthurt.

This show is one (fairly good from all accounts) thing, it's fandom is utterly nuts.
But when you get stuff like this sometimes a bit of insanity is a good thing;

I don't expect people to watch things they don't think would interest them. But if you're going to express an opinion of something, it should be backed up by experience. Film critics don't write reviews without seeing films.Maxon said:
"I don't like this because I find X wrong with it" is an entirely valid opinion I'm happy for people to express, and if fact would encourage them to do so. It stimulates discussion and debate. "This is bad because I don't like the look of it and people who like it are wrong even though I haven't experienced it myself" isn't a valid opinion at all. It's exactly the kind of groundless, opinionated view espoused by tabloid newspapers every day.

I've not watched it and nor do I intend to. Doubtless I'm sure it's a good show for who it's aimed at, but I will say this:

Though obviously if you want to watch it I can respect that. So long as you acknowledge it as what it is i.e. a children's show. Nothing wrong with watching children's shows, just so long as you don't make out that they're shows everyone can enjoy because... well see above video.
