Things you used to like, but now don't (and vice versa)?

[baba_booey 4,303]

Title says all. Name SOMETHING, ANYTHING you used to like, but now don't like and/or things you used to dislike and now like?

 

Things I used to like:

 

Trixie - Yep, believe it or not, I used to like Trixie. Now, At first, I didn't care for her, as with every minor antagonist. However, when Magic Duel aired, I saw her as an interesting antagonist, and for almost a year I liked her. Then, I opened up my eyes and started liking her less and less. For some reason, every time I watched Boast Busters and Magic Duel, I didn't like her to the point where she made it on my least favorite ponies list.

 

Thomas and the Magic Railroad - For some reason, I LOVED this movie.. up until I was 10. The Shining Time Station parts were boring and sadly they took up MOST of the movie. The acting is also horrible, Alec Baldwin is too.. happy. Peter Fonda is too.. depressed. Oh and, the movie has almost as much cheesy lines as CGI Thomas. Green for Glory..? Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle? The magic you refuse to believe in will get the better of you..? Wha..?

 

Cars - I used to love this movie, probably because I liked Anthromorphic.. well, anything. Then, I realized it's just a crappy, bland movie. I'm not really big on the cars pretty much acting like humans, the jokes were blanned and the plot is a generic slice-of-life story. Not to mention, Cars 2 just KILLED it for me.

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

Applejack - I guess I saw her as just a bland character when I first became a brony. However, the more episodes I saw of her, the more I liked this character. Especially when I watched Sisterhooves Social, and after Season 3 she even made it onto my favorites list.

 

Rarity - I used to see her as a crappy, girl stereotype at first. Then I saw Sisterhooves Social, Sweet and Elite and Secret of my Excess, which made me LOVE her, and right before Season 3 she became my favorite pony.

 

So yeah, what about you?

[Shanks 10,816]

Things I used to like:

 

Pokemon- I liked it up until around generation 3 I think, I simply got bored of it. Pokemon X and Y were the first Pokemon games I played since then and I enjoyed them but I don't see myself playing anymore anytime soon but who knows I might change my mind. What I probably won't do though is get back into the anime, it seriously need to die already. It has gotten so stale and predictable, every episode is exactly the same. Though they are making a Pokemon anime that is closer to the manga that sounds good so I will probably give that a shot I mean Red is way better than that dumbass Ash.

 

Power Rangers: Again it got stale and repetitive, the original is so much better than its later iterations.

 

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

Rarity- I wasn't a hard core hater but she really annoyed the hell out of me and to be honest she still sometimes does but I have gotten to like her a bit more albeit slowly.

 

Spicy food- I was a real wimp when I was a kid when it came to this sort of thing but when I developed a tolerance I really started to love it and now hot sauce is one of my 2 most commonly used condiments along with mustard.

[EpitomeOfTruth 243]

Things I used to like:

 

Anime- I used to be a huge anime fan until I caught up on a whole bunch of Western cartoons that I never got to see as a kid, After each series I finished I couldn't really think of a lot of anime that could match up to them.

 

Marvel- I still like Marvel, just not as much anymore.

 

 

Things I used to hate:

 

Pokemon- I can't think of the reason as to why I hated this. Bandwagon, I guess

 

Rarity- You can probably figure out why.

 

DC Comics- I never really had a reason for hating DC. I was just blindly following Marvel.

 

MLP- Probably the same reason as everyone else.

[iceestarz 5,765]

Things I used to like:

 

Transformers- man, that was just one of the best things of my childhood. I remember having a bunch of action figures and one of the movies that my neighbor gave to me. And then I don't know, I guess I got older? I don't like the Michael Bay movies...kind of crappy...

 

Neopets- I was so addicted to this when I was younger. I would play it for hours, but suddenly it started losing its spark and I couldn't stand playing it anymore.

 

The Sims- I remember the first time I played it. I literally stayed up till five in the morning and was like "oh crud...it's really been this long?" Eventually I lost interest and it's rather boring now.

 

Soda- well, I can't say I hate hate it, just I'm trying to quit drinking it. It's rather bad for my health. Eventually it could cause weight gain once my metabolism slows down, although eating unhealthy and not exercising could do that too, but that's besides the point. Not to mention that my skin just absolutely hates me if I drink the stuff. My acne gets so bad if I ingest it, since I've stopped my face is basically almost cleared up, save a couple random ones every now and then.

 

Call of Duty- I would play this every day. It was like my life. But now I just get angry and frustrated playing it. I'm lucky if I last an entire game without cussing.

 

Things I used to hate:

 

Pedicures- I used to hate the idea of people touching me feet. Not because I find feet gross, but because I'm just so ticklish. I would always have some fear that I would end up kicking the person in the face. Eventually I got over my ticklish feet, with a few years of me and my mom rubbing eachothers feet, and go with her to get pedicures every few weeks

 

My Little Pony- I literally hated this brand with a passion. I was never into girly things as a kid so I never liked the brand in the first place, but with an open mind I embraced Friendship Is Magic and let ponies fill my heart.

 

Nail polish- I hated having my nails painted. It was always a distraction and I would end up chipping it away because perfect nails were not very important to me. Now that I'm older I like taking pride in my appearance. My nails are always painted, and filed down to perfection.

 

Water- I legit hated drinking it. I thought it was nasty, tasteless and bland. But now it's really the only thing I'll drink, besides Gatorade.

[Felix 1,363]

Things I used to like:

 

Spongebob: It was cool and funny at first but over the seasons it just went downhill. It got more annoying and kinda gross for my liking.

 

Fairly Odd Parents: It got weird and kinda boring after "Poof" came in. I felt like it wasn't really about Timmy anymore. The episodes were also just not as interesting.

 

Ben 10: The original show was so cool and good! I loved it! Favorite show at the time. Yet then it slowly just wasn't as good. The new generation where Ben was older for the first time was okay but when they brought in Omniverse and whatever was before that...it just wasn't the same anymore.

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

Burgers that had tons of stuff on it. I liked mine just meat and cheese but as of late I put all kinds of stuff on them now. Pickles, cheese, onion rings, ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, raw onion. All things (other than lettuce, cheese, and ketchup) I thought I would never eat but simply can longer eat a burger without.

 

Musicals. I hated musicals. But since over two years ago when I started watching things like MLP and Phineas and Ferb I not only found a severe love for the musical essence in TV shows but as well as a love for music in general. Every month I found myself with new songs stuck in my head that I just want to dance and sing to. Music is a HUGE apart of me now.

 

Rarity. It's not that I ever really disliked her she just didn't mean much to me. I severely apologize for ever thinking such a thing though. I saw a lot of character in her as time went on. I love her just as equally as the others! (Of course I have my favorites list and she is at the bottom but anyone who knows me well enough knows they all mean something special to me and have really taught me something.)

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

Things I use to like

 

speaking- there was a certain point in my life some where in 3rd grade I said something and then afterwards I rarely spoke to anypony

 

wearing my hood- it was a habit I adopted in 7th grade and took me tell 11th to get rid of it I hated it when people looked at me so I wore my hood and covered my eyes with it (I still hate it when people look at me I have plans of buying a mask to wear when I go out in public)

 

Pony Parodies- I use to get a good laugh at them now they offend me greatly but sometimes I still find them funny depending on what it is

 

Spongebob- it should of ended after the movie but instead the new writers adopted it ruined the characters and gave the bird to my entire childhood

 

Things I use to hate

 

My Little Pony- come on every pony remembers G3 and G2 as kids I'm pretty sure most of us here hated it as kids (now I like G3)

 

Cloppers- I thought they were corrupt Bronies then I realized how wrong I was but I still don't appreciate seeing pony porn when I try to find a cute image of a pony that's one of the few reasons I stick with G3

 

The Ponygames Guild Co-Leader- at first he was a huge ass then stuff happened and he became tolerable probably because I kicked him out then gave him his position back a few weeks later

 

Strawberrys- ever since I nearly died in a strawberry field 14 years ago I have hated the damn things then a few days ago I had strawberry ice cream for the first time and I forgave them

 

sad fic or anything sad- I use to find them boring then as I was writing my first fan fic it was originally going to be happy and funny but I had a hard time with it so I scraped it and made it sad I liked it better like that

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

When I was younger I used to dislike it when people were too loud and never took things seriously..

My, how that has changed.

 

Also, as I've gotten older my taste for food has slightly changed, I used to dislike Hazelnuts and capsicum but now I like them both! Though admittedly, I still don't eat them that often!

 

I used to hate the colour yellow, but it's an awesome colour now!

 

Coffee, I used to  hate that, but as you become older, I guess that changes. Same thing for alcohol.

 

On the other side, things I used to like... Hm... I can't really say much. I haven't really changed that dramatically as I've gotten older.

Oh yes....

Some of the music I used to listen to. Why? Oh Why???

Edited August 4, 2014 by The Crimson Cross

[Scootaloodle 1,623]

Stuff I used to like:

 

Trance rave music- I used to utterly love this genre of dance music, fast tempos and euphoria and all of that: then I lost interest in Euphoric sounds and found Funk and Soul feeling music more to my tastes

 

Alvin and the Chipmunks- I used to be obsessed with the little trio: but I don’t like the squeaky voices anymore. Ponies has kind of taken AATCs place

 

Stuff I didn’t used to like but now do

 

Jazz (some of it)- I don’t like traditional roots type Jazz, but I do love Fusion and Jazz-Funk, and Jazzdance type stuff.

 

Hip-Hop- I’m not a big fan of Hip-Hop but other genres I listen to a great deal like House and Disco and Funk and such have a similar sound in Hip-Hop to my ears.

 

Beer- I used to drink spirits and alcopops, but beer is cheaper and lasts longer and got into it

[Barbaloot 198]

As for things I used to like that I don't: The Pokemon Anime. Any season. I see the show as incredibly sub-par now and overall a waste of time. Not sure why I ever adored it as a child. The games, however, are still excellent.

 

As for things I used to not like that I do now:

 

[User07832407840 177]

I also used to not really like Applejack or Rarity. More so Appkejack. She's still my least favourite pony, but I gradually increased in my liking of her as the show went on. Rarity I really started to like after she started having more episodes focusing on her, and especially after Diamond Dogs, where she was just hilarious.

[Ardhacandra 133]

Things I used to like:

 

Disliking things: I used to dislike things simply because I wanted to dislike it. Mainly for reasons, like, it is too popular. Now, I don't care anymore, and that being said... I like WAY more things that I used to dislike now, than vice versa.

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

Batman: I never saw his value... I mean, he's just rich, right? WRONG! He's a flippin super ninja! I started to like him after playing the Arkham games. I saw how wasn't just rich, but that he was resourcefull as hell. As a matter of fact, now I view him more as a super-hero then people with super powers. Admit it... If you are superman, who can do pretty much whatever he wants, what's so hero like in fighting crime? It doesn't matter that his enemies are 10 times larger than him, he is still stronger. Not the case with batman. A bullet can kill him, so it makes it all the more heroic when he fights a behemoth. And he doesn't even kill!

 

Also, electronic music: I used to be hugely into heavy metal. I thought that music that didn't use intruments was extremely crappy... Now, I'm a huge trance fan. I also listen to a lot of dubstep and industrial music.

[chirox the pony 1,336]

Thing I used to like:

 

The pokemon show: After a while I realized what repetitive rubbish that was.

 

Power rangers: I think the only reason I watched it was because someone I knew did.

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

My little pony: Well you see when i was younger my little pony was for little girls, shocking isn't it.

[Lunatic Cake 1,618]

I used to dislike the Caramelldansen song around 5 years ago, around 3 years ago I got to like it and love it ever since. :3

[Odyssey 5,718]

Things I used to like:

• Crash Bandicoot: I used to be a huge fan of this series. I got all of the games and I always go for 100% on any of them. The original is also the first game I played. Now I cannot stand its bland gameplay, its boring stories and its hideous characters. These days I even consider the original to be the worst game of this series.
• Let's Plays: I used to watch a lot of these, but over the years, not only most of them are too obnoxious for my tastes, their way of making money is also sickening. I don't care if that's their job, I'd rather not make videos for money unless if I was in some really desperate financial situation.

 

Things I used to dislike:

• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I think some people been through this before. For me, I didn't really hated the fandom more so than I used to hate anything that's considered popular. Once I got into the series, however, it took me until November 2013 to really like the fandom.

[Neutral 1,185]

What I used to like

Girls aloud: don't ask

SpongeBob: he just got boring and annoying however sometimes I may watch an episode.

K pop: now it's just annoying please let it die

Hotwheels: yep now they are just bad

Ww2 us army (no offense to those who served and died or where wounded) only in the movies do I hate them.

What I used to hate

Mlp: no,fcking shocker there

Nazi memorbilla: yeah I like it for historical and educational purposes. Got a problem? I don't want to hear it thanks.

Girls: trust I don't mind them now but when I was younger I just had a hatred for them don't know why.

Deadmau5

Oh the total war series. Now I fcking love it

[BritishBrony2012 838]

Things I used to like

 

Two girls I like, Wrestling, Trish Stratus, female wrestlers that I used to like, actresses I used to like, Spice Girls, FIFA games,

 

Things I used to dislike

 

Two of the villans in Rainbow Rocks,

 

[Megas 27,921]

Used it like CatDog as a kid, rewatched as an adult, now I hate it and consider it one of the most cruelest shows ever(but with nothing that makes it good)

 

Used to hate My Life As A Teenage Robot, because I thought it sounded dumb, now it's one of my favorite cartoons

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

Things I used to like -

Generic pop music.

I still like pop, but it used to literally be all I ever listened to. Now I prefer punk rock and stuff like that.

Adam Sandler

I used to like his newer movies... *shudders* I still like his old stuff though.

 

Things I used to dislike -

Blood

It used to make me really squeamish. I don't like it now, but it doesn't bother me as much.

Any food I hadn't tasted before

When I was younger, I assumed that I hated any food I hadn't already eaten before. I don't know why. I just did.

Anime

I hated it. I don't even know why. The only anime I didn't refuse to watch was pokemon. I love anime now, though.

Concerts and performances

This one I actually understand. I have mild Asperger's syndrome, and when I was little my symptoms were way more severe. So I couldn't handle all the people and the noise. xP

[ponylaces 1,870]

Things I used to like:

 

Webkinz - Man, I remember when I got my first webkinz in 1st grade as a gift. I used to be so obsessed with the game and the stuffed animals, I collected over 15 stuffed animals. A ton of kids had them at my school too. I've grown out of it now, but I still like stuffed animals.

 

LEGO - I don't hate it now, I just lost interest over the years. I used to love playing with legos. I bought tons of blind bag minifigures with the help of my dad. I even joined a forum a few years ago about lego.

 

Zhu Zhu Pets - These were the hottest toys in 2nd grade. Everyone had one, and I was lucky to get one for Easter. I was obsessed with playing with mine. I don't even know why I was, to be honest.

 

Peppa the Pig - I used to love this show when I was younger. Recently watched it again, and it is terrible. It teaches kids absolutely nothing, and it always has a cheesy ending with them rolling on the floor laughing. They also over exaggerate the whole "being pigs" thing. I do enjoy making fun of the show with my cousin though.

 

Discord (the song) - When I first became a brony, this was a song that I was obsessed with. Now it's just, eh. I don't hate it but I don't love it either. I skip it on my MLP music playlist all the time.

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

Graser10 - Used to hate the guy and his videos. I always thought of him as a selfish guy who expected his fans to do anything he wanted. I started watching his videos, and he was actually funny. So I continued watching and now I'm a subscriber.

 

My Little Pony - A few of my friends at school were talking about the show in 3rd grade, and they told me that I should go watch it. I wasn't girly when I was younger, and I didn't like anything girly either (princesses, dolls, barbies, etc). I thought the girls who watched it were strange, and I stayed away from the show. Even if I wanted to watch it, I didn't have the channel it was airing on anyway I eventually watched it and loved it.

 

The Hunger Games - I wouldn't say I hated it, just never watched it or cared for it. I recently watched all 3 movies, and they're all awesome!

 

Vine - In another post somewhere, I said that I hated Vine. A girl in my class was watching vines, and I was watching some with her and they were hilarious so I decided to watch some more at home. Boom, obsessed.

 

Jerry Peet - I used to think he was too harsh.. until I watched his "In X Minutes" series and realized he's actually pretty funny guy. I also love his countdowns and collabs.

 

Shrimp - WHY DID I HATE SHRIMP? It's delicious!

 

Musicals - I used to think musicals in movies and shows were just a waste of time. I thought they were unnecessary and didn't help the plot at all. After watching MLP have some really good songs, I started to appreciate musicals more.

 

Gatorade - Once again, why did I hate Gatorade? On a trip to Albequerque, I was really thirsty and the only drink left at the concession stand was Gatorade. I thought, why not, and drank it. It was actually really good. Now I drink it most of the time.

Um me and my cousin do the same lol! we were up the coast at my grand parents house and they had nothing but the free to air channels so every morning we would wake and act all enthusiastic for PeppaPig and shows like that lol. but the worst part is my grandparents probably did not know we were being sarcastic so she thinks we are like PEPPA PIG F#CK YEAH!

 

Anyway um.......

 

Pop music - i kinda got put off when i learned how talent less some of these people are (not going to name names in case i offend someone) but i still like some artists like Katy Perry and  Madonna and that's saying something coming from a guy who listens to Death metal lol

 

Skyrim - When it first came out i thought it was the best thing ever but eh

 

Things i use to dislike

 

Nirvana - use to think they were extremely over rated but now i love them

 

and My Little Pony (i was never a hater) but i watched one the girlish episodes when i was first watched it and disliked one week later i saw more posts saw Wonder bolt academy and the rest is history!

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,262]

Things I used to like

 

-Spongebob: The earlier episodes of Spongebob were good but they went downhill from there. Now, I can't watch two minutes of it without wanting to change the channel.

 

-McDonalds: When I was younger, I used to love their chicken nuggets. Now that I've found much better places to eat, I don't plan on going to McDonalds anymore.

 

-Spinach: I used to eat it when I was around 5 years old. Now I can't stand the smell or taste of it.

 

 

Things I used to dislike:

 

-Hockey: I used to think it was a boring sport. It wasn't until recently that I became a fan.

 

-Soccer/Football: Same reason as above

[Alex Z 848]

Things I used to like:

Spongebob: pretty obvious

Fairly Odd Parents: same reason

 

Use to dislike: Zoey 101 (or any of those girly Nickelodeon sitcoms from the 2000s) they're ok now I geuss.

Ya, I don't have much.

That actually reminds me, the opposite happened to me. I used to really like Jerry Peet, until he started his Glass of Water series. They're too... cynical and anti-brony for my tastes. -3- I also hate the fact that he is a supporter of Pinkiepony, one of the most alarming anti-bronies. I do respect your opinion on Jerry Peet, however!

Now that you say that, you do have a point. Plus, he's highly critical of brony musicians, which gets on my nerves sometimes. But, I don't know, I still enjoy his videos though. Edited December 5, 2014 by PonyLaces

I'll admit, his "In X Minutes" and countdowns are the best things about Jerry, but I can't take him seriously without thinking of the Glass of Water videos. I also agree that's he thinks that brony musicians cannot make anything good, when in actuality most brony musicians have potential.
