Ponification, the Pros and Cons

[Fourze Stallion 95]

Call it crossover, call it taken creative liberty, call it injection of other facets of other media, ponfication exists in this franchise.

 

I once did a video concerning this topic, but looking back on it, I realized I needed to get a lot of different opinions on the matter so I ask you guys for some of yours.

 

I for one love ponification, I see it as a means for how we can get fans of other series interested in the MLP franchise and possibly broaden interests.

 

I even recently took a character who debuted to the world just yesterday (being Sunday October 4th) and promptly ponified him due to the fact that he was just awesome in his opening fight. But I want to hear your guys' opinions of the matter.

 

Do you like Ponification? Do you dislike it? Why? And feel free to post other stuff as well.

Well, I think the fans it's primarily a good thing. The only problem I have with it is that sometimes it can be taken a bit too far, to the point where it starts to anger certain people. Other than that I agree with what you said.

I don't mind it, but I know people who aren't fans of the show who really dislike it. They see it as forcing something that they don't like onto them.

I personally enjoy it, I like people, are characters from other shows that I like being drawn as a pony, it just makes them that much cuter. However, as others have said it can indeed go to far sometimes, and a lot of times people of other fandoms may look down on ponification greatly just because they either really dislike the show and would be considered a "hater", or they just generally don't like the idea of crossovers in general.

Here is a good example of ponification: (I made it )

I pretty much mimic the posts above me. Ponification can be funny or awesome, but there can be a point where it starts to become annoying, especially if one or more characters in particular are constantly subjected to the point fans can't look for a picture of them without having to swim through a page or two of their pony versions.

 

Also, I don't know if I should be surprised that there's a Drive pony after less than a week of the first episode.

Heck, I ponify the lyrics to the songs I listen to on the radio.

It works a lot of the time.
