I'm absolutely certain I'm one of the cretins who has said something about MLP 'not being for little girls because lasers hurr' at some point in the past, but if I think about it more that's really flawed logic probably stemming from insecurity. I think gender roles and gender inequality should be things of the past but meanwhile things like this still uphold them and that needs to end. Grown men watching a show for little girls is actually a step in the right direction, if we'd just be able to admit that what we're watching is indeed meant for little girls. Lauren Faust understood that little girls can and will enjoy well written characters and conflict just like boys do, and that not everything needs to be excessively pink and sugary. Conversely, she also knew that boys would watch a show about magical talking rainbow-colored ponies as long as the characters are well written and things aren't too sugary. If anyone proved that these archaic roles should be a thing of the past it's her. And yet, here we bronies are basically undoing that work by going "Fights! Conflict! These things are not for girls!" (I know, some of us say this ironically. I have, but I've also said it more seriously because I'm an idiot.) It's time we realize that gender roles are a thing of the past. I won't say there are no differences between boys and girls, men and women, but the roles the genders play in society could use a lot of balancing. One thing we can do to help that is by admitting not just to ourselves but to the world at large that, yes, we watch a show about magical cartoon ponies that is meant for little girls, and so what? Seriously, anyone answering that question with, "But that's gay" obviously has a lot of insecurities. I'm not saying I don't, and I've said before that I have tried to fit the show into my own gender role, but I have realized there is no reason to and that it's detrimental to progress when it comes to gender equality. In summary, this show transcends gender roles, now it's time we follow suit. I'm sure Lauren Faust would be happy if we helped promote her cause instead of undermining it.

First off, there aren't any episodes I really hate, but there are a few I don't like as much: Green isn't your color: I liked Pinkie's reality warping. Baby Cakes: The horror-like atmosphere when Pinkie couldn't find the foals was nice.

I think it would be a rather bad idea because I already thought her Rainbow Power form was too much. (Not just her, but she did stand out) Additionally, I love Dashie but her ego would reach critical mass and suck everything in like a rainbow-colored vortex. I wouldn't stop watching the show because of it, but I'd facepalm hard enough to be heard in Equestria.

I think Party of One was 'scarier' because of the creepy music in the background when Pinkie was losing her mind. Then again, Twi was pretty deranged in Lesson Zero as well... I'm still going with Party of One because lord knows I hate creepy carnival music.

I agree with this, sadly. I don't think most bronies would be very good at making episodes of the show without overdosing it on all the fandom favorites. Don't get me wrong, many bronies are amazingly creative and write superb fiction/make superb fanart, but for the most part I'm afraid the show's overall quality would plummet.

That is awesome. I always assumed only unicorns could ascend into being alicorns. I also thought that the 'creating new magic' rule applied only to Twilight as she embodies magic itself. Oh well, I'll have to find the book, read it and adjust my headcanon accordingly.

I think the world behind the mirror does really exist. The mirror would form a portal between Equestria and the other world. I do believe that the mirror is capable of connecting to other worlds besides the EQG world though.

I'd like them to revisit Winter Wrap Up, just to see how Twilight does in her role as organizer. I'd also like to see another Hearth's Warming Eve episode, set in the present day this time. I'd like to see the pony way of celebrating it.

Go for it! Reviewing is a very subjective matter and each reviewer will have different opinions on different things. It doesn't matter how many are out there because you'll probably still say different things than all the others. Don't let it hold you back!

In my headcanon Discord is a by-product of the ponies' take-over of Nature. They brought harmony upon the world by making it so they need to raise the sun and moon, manually change the seasons and manage the weather. Things no longer 'just happen' outside of the Everfree Forest. I think that Equestria was once like Earth, and that magic made it the way it is now. However, all that harmony must have its opposite, and I think that condensed itself into Discord, the spirit of chaos. However, the harmony in Equestria is not pure as there is still conflict, and because of that Discord's evil isn't pure either. Keep in mind that all of this is mere speculation on my part.

I never knew Cadance wasn't always an alicorn. Where did you find that out? Also, I don't think they are truly immortal, merely very long lived. I think Celestia and Luna will die one day, but it could be centuries in the future. I also think they can be killed. Consider that Twilight in 'Princess Twilight' thought that Celestia was dead. If alicorns could not die, she wouldn't be worried.

Even though I do quite a lot in the sports department, I play solo sports that don't involve team work. I think I'd connect more with the nerds, since I'm a programmer in daily life.
