What Would it Take to make you Quit MLP?

I don't really watch the show anymore, so I guess my interest level.  I still consider it to be a great show, and the fandom's cool, but I just lost interest in the show.

If they started making it like Friends Forever #1 or the Rainbow Dash Micro, or all of the obvious things people pointed out

9 times out of 10, if ever, nothing definitive makes me stop watching a show. It's just something that gradually happens over time... I gradually lose interest, and then I just start putting new episodes off, eventually to the point where it would be daunting to catch up.

 

Nevertheless, I don't see that currently happening with this show.

 

It would take some rather extreme changes to make me just stop watching. Namely catering too much to the male fandom. It's a show for girls, as long as they don't forget that and keep the show the way it is, it'll be fine.

 

Or having the show 'become' Equestria Girls, that would turn me off, as Equestria Girls itself currently does. The first 'movie' was fine as an episode to bridge the gap between Season 3 and 4, but I don't particularly think it was a great concept, and will likely completely avoid that side of the brand from now on.

Before starting off, no, I'm not quitting MLP. But, sometimes, I wonder to myself "What would it take to make me just... stop watching it?" I've been going back to the previous seasons, and I've noticed some truly bad episodes within all four of them. Sometimes, I wonder "And after all of this, we still watch the show." This isn't a bad thing, but it got me thinking: What would it take to make me quit MLP.

I think the bigger question is, what would it take to make YOU quit it. This is nothing to hold against bronies. This is all just out of curiosity.

 

I've personally already quit the show and I'm guaranteed to never start watching it again, unless out of morbid curiosity as to what fuckery is currently going on (like if suddenly EQG bled into the show). Anyone who doesn't already know why and is curious can check out my blog for my reasoning. Tho, I would've quit the show regardless if it had a serious plot hole that affected the current state of the storyline, something that destroys all believability.

 

I wouldn't even stop watching it at gunpoint.

 

Come on dude, there's gotta be something that would make you quit, it's not possible that you'd watch no matter what, or at least, it's not possible that you'd enjoy it no matter what. Even if continuity errors (as I recall you saying in another thread) don't bother you, too much dullness would surely seal the deal.

If the style returned to G3 with all of that utopian society. Also, if Hasbro takes the reigns and starts making crappy episodes with lessons that don't even make sense.

There really wouldn't be anything. Dunno why you don't believe that. I'm a very easily pleased person so it doesn't take much to make me enjoy something in the first place and once I've started enjoying I never stop. To this day that has been true of everything I've ever enjoyed in my life.

 

On top of all that I find it a waste of time to think about ways the show could disappoint me. Even a bad decision is easily overlooked for all the other things I still enjoy in the series. For example: Season 3's final episode not being multiple parts or turned into a movie so it was filled to the brim with songs. I loved the songs, I loved the plot and I had no opinion one way or the other about Twilight's transformation at the time but it was just a little bit unbalanced because it was constrained to that one episode.

 

If I stopped watching a show or playing a game because of one reason I'd feel pretty shitty. Most things have far more reasons to enjoy it than reasons to not enjoy it and I find it incredibly easy to look past things I may not like for the things that I do. This applies to everything.

Ever since Season 3 I have quit watching the show, in fact forgot about the entire fandom for quite some time. For me, it was the lack of quality put into the episodes that made me stop watching. Season 3's finale was disgusting (no offense).

 

However, looking through some older music I found Sunshine and Celery Stalks. 

The old times... hard to believe it was 3 years ago when I was in love with the series..

I'm not sure... maybe if it became a 'couples' show where the Mane 6 become consumed in dating etc.

 

I wouldn't like to see anymore alicorns from the Mane 6, unless it was executed really well and could be justified.

If the show turned into G3. then I would move off MLP FIM show and try the comickz. if the comics started using the g3 style i would quit that too.

What it would take to make me quit MLP?

 

Well, lets see...Immortality, Shapeshifting powers, Ability to consume anything, Ability to mind control anything, Flight, 2 horns would be cool...

 

Alright, i would only quit MLP if they go overboard with it. Making all the mane six alicorns, for example. Other than that, i wouldnt quit MLP

@,

Sounds like how most people overdo it on RP's.

Not much honestly. Even if they became Alicorns I wouldn't care. Even when the show is over I'll still watch it on Netflix. Other than one episode I really haven't had an episode of MLP that I thought of as truly bad, so I'd still watch all seasons over and over. I can't think of anything to cut the enjoyment for me.

I'll only stop watching each new episode when it ends. :) Even then, I'll continue to watch them on my DVDs that I'll have spent so much money on.  :lol: (Worth it!!)

 

Unrealistic (and 99.999999 percent unlikely to happen) reasons why I'd stop watching:

  • If it became all about the rest of the mane six trying to find boyfriends
  • If the mane six died XD
  • If the writers all suddenly died and no one could find new ones
  • If it suddenly became all about OCs
  • ...alicorn OCs
  • ...with crazy colors
  • ...and overpowered abilities.

I don't really care what direction the writers take with the show. I've enjoyed what has been thrown at us so far, both the show and Equestria Girls.

 

Even when the show ends I'll be watching re runs till the day I die.
