I have to say this is a question that I've given far too much thought to over the years.

Happy New Year everypony!!! I'm really looking forward to this year's MLP content.

I hope it's just some mistake and not true. I liked Sprout as an antagonist and I'd like to see him return but not as part of a mane six.

Their scenes together were my favourite aspect of The Crystalling.

I'm torn between Hitch and Zipp which surprises me since I thought they were both going to be my two least favourite characters before I watched the movie.

Considering how many Winters/Hearth's Warmings we went through during generation 4 (seven I think) she must have been in Ponyville a few years longer than that.

I doubt I would ever have become a fan of the show. I certainly wouldn't be as big a fan as I am now.

I get what you mean and there's nothing disrespectful in what you wrote. I hope the same thing! I hope the mane six lived long and happy lives but died a long time before the races became separated. But I do wish people would stop going on about the mane 6 dying. It gets me down

I used to be a big Wild Thornberrys fan which I suppose is quite girly too.

There are no episodes that I hate, not any more anyway. I used to slightly hate The Mysterious Mare Do Well because something just feels off about it, something I can't easily explain but to me it was the kind of standard storyline I'd expect to see in other cartoons and made FiM seem like just another cartoon. But when I rewatched the episode a few months ago it didn't seem so bad, and in fact it wasn't even my least favourite episode anymore. That would be She Talks to Angel which I don't hate but find a bit uninteresting. I also like Mare Do Well more than Baby Cakes, Just for Sidekicks and It Ain't Easy Being Breezies.

Just imagine what we would have missed if the show had lasted just 3 seasons All those great episodes like The Perfect Pear, Amending Fences, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Sounds of Silence, A Hearth's Warming Tail, Twilight's Kingdom and so many more. We would never have met Starlight, Maud, Autumn Blaze, Thorax, Ember, the Young Six and Flurry Heart. We would never have seen Discord's transition into a hilarious comedy character or Daring Do as a real-world character or seen Twilight's Castle and the Cutie Map, the School of Friendship, The Changeling Kingdom, the Kirin village and Starlight and Trixie's friendship. I've heard that a huge number of fans jumped ship after season 3. They don't know what they missed!

I doubt I would have ever bothered watching the show if it had lasted just 65 episodes. It was November 2015 when I first started watching which was when season 5 was nearing its end. I don't know if I would have bothered giving the show a try if I knew it had already been cancelled and there were just three seasons and 65 eps. I definitely wouldn't love FiM like I do now anyway since seasons 5 to 8 are a golden era for the show for me. I actually feel lucky the show went on another four seasons after I got into it, normally when I get into a cartoon it immediately gets cancelled. Like when I got into the Wild Thornberrys around the time the movie came out and all that came after it was the eight-episode 5th season and the not very good Rugrats Go Wild movie. So yeah I'm all in favour of there being as many episodes are possible! I would happily have watched many more than the 9 seasons we got. I'm just glad that gen 5 is set in the same world and is basically a continuation of gen 4.

My personal favourites from each season: Season 1: Boast Busters (I love Trixie!) Season 2: A Canterlot Wedding (I always love changeling episodes) Season 3: The Crystal Empire Season 4: Trade Ya! Season 5: Amending Fences (My all time favourite episode) Season 6: To Where and Back Again Season 7: To Change a Changeling Season 8: Road to Friendship (Trixie and Starlight are my two favourite characters) Season 9: A Trivial Pursuit

Despite my reservations about generation 5 having a male pony my favourite after watching the movie is Hitch! But I see I'm in a minority.

I loved it. It was a beautiful film. As with all great things, I didn't want it to end. It was everything I wanted it to be. Great characters, good storyline, catchy songs and very funny. And that totally unexpected opening scene with the Mane 6! So good to hear Tabitha, Ashleigh, Tara and Andrea play those roles again! I'm guessing everyone else noticed the Starswirl picture in Sunny's house?

Fan music is my fave aspect of the fandom and I love brony radio stations! They're great to have on in the background when you're on the internet. I used to listen to Parasprite Radio but it never seems to be working properly these days so now I listen to the Ponies At Dawn radio station on Youtube.

I wasn't a hater. I was only kind of aware of the show's existence and its adult fans. I remember someone on a forum wondering why adult men liked the show and I responded in agreement. Finally when I started watching the show in late 2015 I began to understand its appeal.
