Spagem 505 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 Gonna give the same generic answer everyone else has given: - Not catchy - Not a fan of the singing - Disappointing compared to the Japanese intro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceethe 704 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 i dont know mate.. it probably has to do with the intro being, by far, the girliest part of MLP. the intro makes me, as a guy, feel like "you shouldnt watch this!", while the rest of the show doesnt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguesoul 85 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 Personally I do find it to be the most girlish and childish thing about the show and makes it feel less like this fabulous and amazing world and more like a kid's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Spectrum 1,932 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I like the intro to be honest. It grew on me. I prefer the Italian intro and the full intro though. Applejack Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 (edited) Those alternate "opening themes" are mediocre and embarrassing hack jobs, a brutal assault on My Little Pony. The songs are plain inferior bubbly garbage with singers that makes me think that my ears will bleed..and totally inappropriate...and the makers were too pathetic to bother making an actual animation, making the "opening themes" no better than some second rate fan creation with no inspiration or drive to do anything interesting or creative. Is that the best they could do? If I were Hasbro, I would remove them and replace it with this show's wonderful theme song that most unconventional fans seem to take for granted. It perfectly encapsulates what the show stands for and has a superior song and style. By the way, if you hate it so much because it is girly then you are welcome to stop watching the show in its entirety. Edited August 16, 2014 by Silver Letter 2 Silver Letter!!!

Nulln 755 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 (edited) I love the intro. I sing it every time it comes on. Then my son looks at me slowly and says " :okiedokielokie: no."

I said if one dislikes the opening because it is girly then they are welcome to stop watching it. It is extremely hypocritical since the entire show is girly! It is a girl's show! But of course they turn around and like the faux anime style opening song. Silver Letter!!!

Ruddboy Olaf 10,628 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 The opening is by far the girliest and the most cringeworthy thing of the show. -_- Just cause it's girly doesn't mean it's bad. But,the fact that the song and the animation is so dull is what makes me hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Letter 1,832 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I agree the show is girly, but not as much as the opening. It does not matter. I don't know what they think they are watching with a show called "My Little Pony" but maybe it isn't the right show for them if they don't like "girly" things. But,the fact that the song and the animation is so dull is what makes me hate it. It's no different than the standard show fare. You are wrong on this. Silver Letter!!!

SnipSnap 432 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 As for the theme for season five they should get Tay Zonday to sing it There you go then. "Girly?" "Doesn't fit the show?"

Miles 2,513 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 There you go then. "Girly?" "Doesn't fit the show?" Well, it's a children's show after all... I think Tay Zonday went through puberty three times... I mean, MY GOODNESS... I, personally, am admittedly jealous of his voice. I freaking loved that video... --- I LOVE the MLP intro. I watched the other countries versions, and I gotta say, I think they are pretty bad. For me, watching the [AMERICAN] intro is an essential part to watching the episode. It just brings back a certain nostalgia from when I first started watching it.

I don't use the idea of demographic to try and insult people for watching the show. I use it to demonstrate that the opening theme is equally part of the aesthetics of the show. Not liking it is akin to disliking the common instruments used in Jazz music but still professing to like the genre. Not liking the true opening theme makes no sense. Silver Letter!!!

AnonBrony 1,469 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I don't hate it. I don't mind it much. I think it's that most people are embarrassed about it. Like if someone else was nearby, I think some bronies would probably turn down the T.V. volume when the theme is on XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null_account 144 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 Well, I don't HATE it, I just hate having to sit through it. I dislike it because 1.It's probably the only thing antibronies see of the show, and why they drop so much hate on us. 2.It's just kinda... too.. girly for me XD. 3. I just don't really like it...

Banul 3,831 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I used to dislike the intro. I would skip it often. After a while, it really started to grow on me. Now I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Flair 332 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I just don't like theme songs that much. There are only a few that I don't skip, and it doesn't mean that the other ones are particularly bad, just that I've heard this song already like fifty times and I don't care to hear it again.

Vemillia Nightshade 2,247 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 "My little ponies, my little ponies~ Ah, ah ah- Okay let's skip this part. It's not my favorite. Hehehehehahaha~!!" -Smeg Okay, aside form the quote I made from the original Mentally Advanced Series opening, I see nothing wrong with it. Yes the begining of the opening does draw back to the MLPs before it but that's the point. As for the bulk of the song for Gen 4, it's a very awesome opening. I guess it can be embarrassing to listen to when you blast it out loud for everyone to hear. As for why some bronies dislike it. It maybe just personal preference or taste in music. Allot factors into it when it comes to the mind of a person, so it's never absolute. "Love and Hate are two different sides of the same coin. Both are feelings that are indescribable. One is felt often while the other is typically felt by those who cannot comprehend right from wrong." - Me "In my time as a reaper of souls, I've learned to never take anything seriously unless it means my life. Chaos and Control are forms of the life flow, nothing more. Pain and heartbreak are no different, just a flow of events." - Sadist "I know there is no use to prey, I am a demon today.

chirox the pony 1,336 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I guess the reason I hate it is probably because it tormented me as a kid, remember folks if you grew up in the eighties nineties or two thousands my little pony was for girls and no one else. If you grew up a male in any of these decades MLP(along with other girls toys)was the bane of your existence, and once you heard that annoyingly memorable theme song you just wanted go to the nearest store and burn every last pony doll in sight. Well on a less violent note there is still an 8 year old in me who wants to ruin the show for me(although I try to make him shut his f**king face)and that's probably the main reason I can't enjoy it. But even if I did fully shut him up I still don't think I could really enjoy it. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me.
