Fluttershy is my favourite of the Mane 6. I love her shy and extremely kind personality. I especially love the episodes with her and Rainbow Dash together; they are the best pony duo, in my opinion.

I love when Rainbow Dash sleeps on a cloud. It's so cute. So much awesome.

I love Sweetie Belle Sweetie Belle is cutest pony. And of all the ponies' voices, hers is my favourite. Her squeaks are the cutest thing ever! One of my favourite MLP lines: "I love her mane!"

I was really happy about the ending, because it was unexpected and taught a good lesson. That would just have been dumb, I think, for Mare-do-well to be an actual rival. Like, what would have even been the point of the episode? I guess Rainbow Dash would have still learned that she needs to be humble sometimes, but fans don't want to watch a whole episode of an awesome main character being bested at everything she does, that would just be sad. This way, she still learns the same lesson but remains awesome as ever at the same time, plus they don't have to come up with a reason that Mare-do-well doesn't continue to appear in future episodes saving people from stuff. Also, I love how in this episode it seems like the Mane 6 are like the superheroes of Ponyville, just saving people left and right, haha.

I wish I had friends who are bronies. Well, there's this one guy I know who's a couple years younger than me who went to the same school as me that's been a brony for a long time, but I became a brony recently and we can't really hang out cause he still goes to highschool and I'm going to university, so all we've done is talk a few times on Facebook. So I don't really count that, since I'm not sure if I would call us "friends." But I'm trying to get my twin brother to become a brony, and although he's not super opposed to MLP, I don't think it's going to work. My biggest hope, though, is that my two roommates I will be living with this September will become bronies. I think they might like the show if they gave it a chance, but getting them to give it a chance is what's going to be the hard part.... Also, I'm looking forward to their reaction when they see me unpacking all my MLP figures and putting up my MLP poster, haha.

Sawk, I totally agree with you. I think for me, and probably for a lot of bronies, when I started watching it, I thought of it as a "girl's show," but now I don't at all. Males liking the show has become such a normal concept for me that it doesn't seem like a "girly show" at all, it just seems like a show. And when I see MLP merchandise at stores, I don't think, what are people going to think of me if I buy some of this, I just don't even care cause the ponies don't seem unmanly to me. So "manly" and "girly" are socially constructed ideas, absolutely. The idea that men are, on average, stronger and have higher levels of aggression than women has to do with biology and could be taken as a scientific hypothesis, but men not liking pink things and rainbows and ponies but girls liking them instead? That's just a socially constructed idea and, obviously, isn't true.

Okay, just think about this one: Kim Jong-Un. Yes. Would that not be amazing? Actually, if all the world leaders became bronies that would be just the best thing ever. Maybe world peace might actually happen for once. Until wars break out over which is the best pony....

Not all bronies think they're manly, but some might. But how "manly" someone thinks they are is completely independent as to whether they like MLP. Although, it is true that most male bronies are not overly feminine. But that's just because most males are not overly feminine. So I guess to answer your question, it's not that bronies think they're manly, it's that most bronies are manly, because of the fact that most bronies are average, straight men, many with "manly" interests just like other men; they just happen to like MLP as well.

Hypothetically, supposing it did happen, I think it could be a good show, but it depends how mature you're thinking. I think what comes to mind when people think of pony things with mature content is the kind of stuff that uses excessive gore, swearing, etc. for shock purposes, usually for a comedic effect, and that I think would make for a really crappy show cause, as Jorguil already stated, a half hour show of pony.mov would be unbearable. But a professionally made show with good plotlines and things that are thought provoking about important topics (rather than just teaching a straight-forward moral lesson) but that is directed towards an older audience could be awesome (I'm thinking particularly of how Adventure Time has elements that make it very appealing for an older audience without ever going above a PG rating). However, I don't think there'd ever be a need to have R-rated kind of stuff in it for it to be directed towards an older audience. If it was going to be a shock-based comedy, then yeah, it would need R-rated stuff, but if I wanted something like that I'd watch South Park or pony.mov. I think what would be cool would be if there was an MLP show with a bit more mature stuff to bring it to more of a PG or maybe PG-13 rating, but I don't think anything more than that would really be improving on the show.

I started watching it in March of this year. The first time I ever heard "brony" mentioned was when someone at my school mentioned he was a brony, but at the time I had no idea what that meant, I just assumed from the context that it was some kind of internet-based subculture of sorts. A long time later, I saw a meme making a joke about certain things that have fans that are not the target audience, and it had a picture of an old, creepy guy with a neckbeard as the "actual audience" of My Little Pony, and I thought, huh, that's weird, I didn't know there were adult males who watched My Little Pony, but there must be or the meme wouldn't be making this joke, unless it's just being really random. Then over time I saw a few YouTube comments of people with ponies as their profile picture, and then this one time a guy mentioned how he gets a lot of flak over the internet for being a brony. So that was when I made the connection that yes, there is an adult male fanbase for My Little Pony, and that is what "brony" refers to. Many months later, some people at school were having a conversation and mentioned how it was just weird that there are adults who watch a show made for little girls and how that's just creepy. Well I never like it when people judge anything without having seen it first. It's like judging a person without getting to know them first. I just really don't like it. So I made up my mind then that I would, at some point, probably consider possibly watching an episode of My Little Pony. And the time came when I was supposed to be working on a Chemistry project that I really didn't want to be working on, so instead of doing it, I looked up the article on Wikipedia for the MLP fanbase, read that the fans actually do watch the show because of it being a quality show with good humour and animation and whatnot, as opposed to being a bunch of creepy dudes who watched it for creepy reasons, so then I watched the first episode. And I was like, hey, this isn't too bad. This is a pretty quality show. And that was that. I think if it wasn't for the awesome and massive Brony community that exists over the internet and the vast amount of fan created material, I wouldn't be as obsessed with the show as I am now. I probably would still have enjoyed it, but it's not like I'd have gone out and bought actual MLP toys and a poster and probably eventually some t-shirts. This is a really special fandom, I feel, so I'm really sad that I didn't look up what "brony" meant the day that guy at school mentioned it for the first time; then I could've been part of this fandom so much sooner. But it's better late than never, I suppose.

Dude, I totally watched those shows too! They were great! But then I was also raised by a single mom in the same house with three girl cousins around my age, so that might have had something to do with it. In fact, my earliest memory of My Little Pony is of playing a My Little Pony computer game. I don't remember what it was called, but I remember I really liked it, it was fun. So if my past self had been told that in the future I'd be into an MLP T.V. show, I'd actually probably be okay with that, because of the memories of that computer game.

Either Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy for sure. I love both of their personalities, it would be hard to choose. But if I had to choose, I think I'd go with Rainbow Dash.
