cider float 2,539 January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 It's not as hot with bronies so who was it meant for the intended audience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,948 January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 Still the target audience. And likely an older part of that audience, I remember Hasbro saying that they wanted to appeal to an older demographic of girls with EQG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00000000000000000000 32 January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 Probably just older girls and boys to be honest, but more or less the same target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirox the pony 1,336 January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 Well if you couldn't tell by all the pandering in the first film it was for little girls. Plus I hear there was more executive meddling this time so yeah definitely little girls. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me.

KatonRyu 1,034 January 9, 2016 Share January 9, 2016 I'm guessing the same target as FiM itself, little girls. Just because there's a large periphery demographic doesn't mean they went out of their way to change the target audience. So far, the one episode aimed specifically at bronies is Slice of Life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpark95 430 January 9, 2016 Share January 9, 2016 Well, I would have to say little girls between the ages of 6 to 8, or something like that. Most of the dolls and toys are pretty over-sexualized, so don't even bother buying the merchandise associated with it. | Poet, Writer, and artist | Cartoon, anime and Disney lover | Video game lover | "We know what we are, but know not what we may be." -William Shakespeare "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." - Jimmy Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Qiviut 22,527 January 9, 2016 Share January 9, 2016 (No, really!! Hasbro actually saw somE the fan stuff and it give them an idea.... a wonderful, brilliant, awful idea... XD) The people said that as a joke, but it was so dry it sounds serious. EQG's market is older than the main series. FIM's base child demographic is four, five, and six years old, but EQG's gravitates to adolescents. Hasbro's rival Mattel markets Monster High to this same group, so Hasbro wants to share a piece of Mattel's pie. 3 "Talent is a pursued interest." — Bob Ross Pro-Brony articles: 1/2/3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinter 3,064 January 9, 2016 Share January 9, 2016 The people said that as a joke, but it was so dry it sounds serious. True. But you can't deny the fandom having some influence on the idea. Anthro fan art has almost existed from day one of the show itself. 1 My OC's: Malinter, Rahl, Vengeful impact & alias-the-marked-one First fic i've written since forever here Skype: Malinter@Outlook.com "Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier." most legendary quote ever.

Anthro fan art has almost existed from day one of the show itself. Eh, I don't know. I know the writers can't review fanfic and fanart, but I'm not sure if the marketing can or cannot, as well. If anything, it feels like it wants to mirror Monster High's success, but doesn't want to spend the fabulous moolah () to create a new IP.

Sidral Mundet 1,666 January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 A slightly older demographic than what FIM was originally aimed at. MLP is 'meant' for the 6-9 demographic, give or take, while EQG was aiming for the 10-13 range, roughly speaking. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

Steve Piranha 29,480 January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 Well, it came three years after the pony craze started. Enough time for some children who where at the beginning to take interest in more teenage stuff Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Sugar 532 January 12, 2016 Share January 12, 2016 The people that I know IRL who are really obsessed with EQG are all under the age of six. I enjoy it, not as much as ponies, but I think EQG is a little more heavy handed with it's plots and moral ending than MLP proper. So I'm going to disagree with most of you, I think EQG is aimed for more of a young audience than FiM ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ☆★☆ It's you I love ☆★☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
