Why MLP Matters To Me

[cybershocker455 324]

I feel like writing this because honestly I just want to express my love for the show.

 

The reason why MLP matters to me (and a lot of people) is because the show shows us how you don't need to be grim, or dark, or cynical to tell really good stories. Most modern stories just try too hard at being "artistic" or "edgy" or "pessimistic" to me. That kind of mentality doesn't appeal to me anymore and nowadays I'm a lot more sensitive when it comes to it.

 

Not a lot of modern works fit my INFP personality. I think MLP fits my personality perfectly. It's a show that manages to be fantastical yet relatable, funny yet heartfelt, deep without being pretentious and just overall the kind of show I watch when I feel like watching when I'm in a sour mood. I'm incredibly glad many inspiring writers, artists and musicians are willing to dedicate their time on a show initially made for a young female audience. I hope more works take inspiration from this show. While it may not be everyone's favorite show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will always be a show that will be near and dear to my heart.

 

I'm really enjoying season 5 and the stories that they're telling right now and I can't wait to see more in the future. Friendship is Magic will always be the three magic words that will inspire a lot of hope to me and possibly a lot of people in the brony community.

 

I'm proud to be a brony.

That's so good to hear that you're enjoying the fandom. I love your Twilight avatar.

I never really felt like MLP was saying that we didn't need to be grim or dark to tell good stories considering other shows before it have been doing that for years.

MLP definitely has a good story and well developed characters, especially for a kids show.

The subject of this topic has little potential to spark discussion between many members and, as such, would be better suited to a status update or a blog.
