If you could erase all MLP knowledge and re-watch the show, would you?

[Azureth 687]

As the topic says, would you like to be able to erase your memory of MLP so you could watch it fresh again? Sometimes I do, I have re-watched S1, 2 and 3 so much I wish I could watch them with a blank slate again.

[Pastel 7,630]

That's a tricky question.

I think I wouldn't, MLP is a big part of my life, rewatching everything would take a lot of time (I have other things to do :x), and that would also mean I'd forget everything about the MLP forums and the members, and I'd hate that.

Plus, I'm not that nostalgic.

While I agree that the first time watching each episode was amazing, and that I would love to experience that feeling of newness again, I couldn't happily erase my memory of mlp to watch it again. It's had such a big impact on me and I've made so many memories through watching the episodes, chatting on the forums and going on epic RP adventures that I couldn't bear to erase my memory. A very good question by the way!

For the surprise factor, yeah. 

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,307]

Nah.  MLP has become an inextricable part of who I am.  It would be tantamount to erasing my knowledge of H.P. Lovecraft stories and / or J.S. Bach compositions.  Besides: I'd potentially be erasing my love for Rainbow Dash in the process, and I'd never agree to something like that.

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

Yes, I would especially love to forget that I joined here. that's why yes I would like to erase ALL mlp knowledge.

The first episode I watched which I remember was Canterlot Wedding, I would have liked to first experience MLP:FIM from the first episode.

[SCS 7,537]

I wouldn't want to erase my memory of MLP. For me, my love for the show grows as my knowledge of it grows, so I love rewatching episodes over and over again. I often notice details I missed, even after the 7th or 8th time I've rewatched a particular episode. It's one of the very few shows for which I truly enjoy doing that.

[SparklingSwirls 21,606]

All knowledge of MLP? Definitely not. As nice as it would probably be to re-watch the show "fresh", I'd also be forgetting about the forums and all the wonderful friends I've made here. I wouldn't want to lose that!

[ShadowPirateX 600]

What?! No! I'm not gonna erase that much knowledge! Besides, being able to re-experience the series isn't that important to me.

[Miles 2,514]

No way... I couldn't.  Besides, even though the feelings I got watching it through the first time were stronger than now, I still am not burnt out, and likely won't ever be.  

[TrulyHeart 5]

I would! I'm not sure why though.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,165]

Never would I even consider that. I mean, yeah it's nice to come back with a fresh mindset, but it's also great to have a matured mindset as well. I mean, I had to let some episodes simmer before they became ones I ultimately enjoyed (Crystal Empire, for one) and have the perspective of multiple viewings isn't something to just be thrown away.

 

Plus I have enough mental time and effort invested to consider it too valuable to lose. I mean, I have my own team of OC ponies, backstories, villains, places, etc., I wouldn't want to lose that.

 

I mean, love these guys.

Great question! Hmmm....you know I don't think so. The experience I've had watching ALL 91 EPISODES (I can't believe I've watched that much in such a short time) has been great and I wouldn't trade it. Come to think of it, there really aren't any series I think I'd do that with. I have so many fond memories of this and other shows, so I just don't think if want to lose any of that

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

That's tricky. It means I'll forget about the stuff I saw on dA and go back to my stereotypical self......no thanks. 

[Silver Letter 1,832]

No. There would be no need for such a decision.

[NavelColt 22,883]

Nope. I hate feeling out of the loop. Just getting into something, especially this big, I feel like I need to spend hours a day looking through content to catch up, and actually feel like I'm a part of the fandom who knows all about it. I'm glad I've gotten there since then x)

[Invincible 2,092]

Interesting question. Usually, for questions like these, i'd say no. This time i'll say a healthy yes. I miss the feeling of nostalgia watching the lazy moments of S1 and S2, wondering why i like this show so much. Those were my favorites.

[SwigglySwiggly 358]

I wanna feel again! the nostalgia... I crave for it.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,840]

Absolutely not. 

 

I am who i am because of my exact experience with MLP,forgetting everything could drastically change who i am even if i ended up liking the show again(which who knows if i would). 

 

Imean my name could be Twilight Sparkle-Pills on here instead and let me tell you,i like the sound of Pinkamena-Pills better buddy. 

[Rainboom Dash 1,057]

No thanks. I've been a brony for three years now and don't feel like starting all over again.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,749]

Nope, it was a coincidence that wouldn't necessarily happen again. Besides it would mean that I would forget the experience that followed.

[Miles 2,514]

Nope, it was a coincidence that wouldn't necessarily happen again. Besides it would mean that I would forget the experience that followed.

Mine was also a coincidence!  I mean, holy cow it all boils down to this:

I would never have become a brony if my friend (whom I met in college) did not ironically (because he's not a brony) say "ponies" as an interjection to mean "what's up?" on skype.  What is laughable is that once I told him that I looked up MLP because of him, he never says "ponies" anymore on skype. LOL.  So I annoy him by sending him pony links sometimes, bahaha.  

[Radiance64 7,059]

No way... why would I want to erase all the wonderful memories simply being a fan of MLP:FiM has given me?

[Thespian 78]

No, (and i realized i read the quesiton sort of wrong but ill post this anyways). While I have had fun being a brony and have enjoyed taking part in this fandom, it has negatively effected my personal life as well. I'm not saying i regret being a brony or am no longer a fan of mlp, but if I could stop myself from being a part of it, I would.
