Absolutely not. I adore the show as well, but it's not my absolute favorite. That distinction goes to Batman: The Animated Series, or Avatar: The Last Airbender, or Gargoyles. Those three animated shows can easily dissolve me into a puddle of squeaking fangirliness any day.

#bubble burst Oh well. It's still cool. I love Harley Quinn, as I believe I've mentioned before. ^^ This is the first time the character count has gotten the better of me.

Harley Quinn!? Did you just say Harley Quinn? One of the best female supervillains of all time, my very favorite female comic book character ever?! That Harley Quinn?

Oh butterbeans, now I'm all excited. Curse you, Megan, in your innate wisdom to make fans of the show squirm uncontrollably in their seats for the remainder of the day, on tenterhooks as to whether or not you're pulling their buttons or pushing their legs.

I've already shown my appreciation and adoration for a few other couples, but I'll list them again in case any other random person perusing these boards hasn't stumbled upon my posts already. Big Mac/Fluttershy Fancy Pants/Rarity Discord/Pinkie Pie And while I do understand the idea of Fluttershy/Rainbow Dash, I've never really liked it. I don't know, just a personal preference.

We all expand a little on canon: some of us verbally, others in fanfiction, and still others in fanart. Sometimes it's a ship that's been hinted at, or other times it's a scene that should have been expanded upon but wasn't. Whatever the instance or example, we all have some form of headcanon. Leave logic at the door, because this is the thread in which to share your own personal canon! Mine are as follows: Rarity x Fancy Pants: Let's forget about Blueblood. [i already have.] I've always liked these two together, even over Fleur de Lis. Despite being enjoyable, I believe Fancy Pants and Rarity have a little something going on, and he visits Ponyville occasionally to drop by Carousel Boutique. Rainbow Dash's Family Raised Fluttershy: We haven't seen much of Fluttershy or Dash's backstory, except that they were close growing up. I have no adequately explained reason for this piece of headcanon, except that it makes for an extremely good fanfiction idea. Applejack Is An Orphan: This is quite obvious. We haven't seen AJ's parents, nor have they even been mentioned. It's my belief that they are in fact, thoroughly dead. Fleur de Lis is Blueblood's Sister: No explainable reason for this either, except that they're the epitome of gorgeousness for both sexes, which sort of puts them together. They're also roughly the same age, I think. #shrug Octavia Is OCD: I love her, she's my favorite pony, but for some reason I see her as extremely OCD, and disliking physical contact. I don't know, something about her droll expression makes me think "obsessive compulsive disorder". I also think it would make her character quite a bit more interesting. DisPie: Why do I even have to explain this? So what about the rest of you? What's your headcanon, odd though it may be? As you can see, I'm no poster child for sane ideas.

Owl's Well That Ends Well: While there was a lesson here, and it was a situation many, many young children will experience, I just didn't like it. I don't like seeing Spike get hurt, he's a darling, and also consistently beaten up by Twilight. [Which I find irritating.] The Last Roundup: I did like seeing Derpy talk, that was the best part of the episode. But I didn't like seeing Applejack's pride surface again, and I didn't like how quickly everything was resolved. AJ wasn't so much concerned about how her friends felt about her not winning - I like to think she's secure enough in her mindset to know they'll always be there for her - but she had the entire town depending on her to get money to fix Town Hall. Perhaps it's just me, but I disliked it. Mysterious Mare Do-Well: This was just...very OOC. I'll be the first to admit that Rainbow Dash is very egotistical, but I thought the whole fanclub thing was overplayed, and the methods the Mane Six used to poke a hole in her pride could have seriously backfired. Rainbow Dash could have taken extreme offense to this, and I think it would have been better if they simply sat her down and talked to her. While Rainbow Dash is arrogant, she's not stupid, and usually listens to her friends.

I initially thought my favorite of the Mane Six would be Twilight Sparkle, seeing as we're quite similar in worldviews and study habits. But over time, Pinkie Pie's annoying squeal faded away to some really clever jokes, and Rarity's extraordinary prissiness was replaced with some fantastic overdramatic moments. I can't pick a 'favorite' out of the group, but the two I liked least at first have now become the two I enjoy watching the most.

IMNSHO, that's a very biased selection of videos you selected. A ten year old ranting about how he hates bronies and a PBS segment? Of course, the professionally recorded, edited, and scripted video is going to be superior, whereas a child copycatting someone he admires is going to be the weaker video. That being said, I do think that bronies are generally more intelligent when it comes to debating their show preferences. It isn't so much a brilliance factor, it's the simple fact that most of us bronies have simply ceased to care. We've been persecuted, harangued, sneered at, and held up for public ridicule ever since the show began, and by and large we've largely stopped bothering with them. It's a television preference: what do we like to do with our time? We like to watch an excellently animated, well-timed, fairly well thought-out and perfectly scripted show. It just so happens it's a children's show involving an alternate universe where all humans are ponies. They choose to spend their time leaving profane YouTube comments for no other reason than ennui.
