About the analyzing part of the show

Recommended Posts

This is the first fandom I've ever been in. I've always enjoyed any show in complete isolation, away from the world.

 

I personally feel like my analysis skills when it comes to any show are not really like a professional critic, and I feel like because of that fact, my statements and perceptions of the show are wrong. 

 

Here's my own reasoning.

 

"I like MLP (the general show and the episodes) for this and that but I have not-good-but-not-bad or poor reasoning skills to say why, therefore I am wrong.

 

 

"I am able to deduce the flaws in the episodes, therefore my deductive reasoning is superior to everyone's and that I'm right. Conclusively, MLP is a factually horrible show and should be cancelled. At the very least it should be improved but the chances of that happening are absolute 0 because the writers don't care about what is good writing and they are in the wrong."

 

I can't help if my analyzing skills are not good but I feel like everyone just shoots down my opinion even after hearing them. I don't feel welcome at all. Should I have unequaled analyzing skills so I can see the show for what it really is, even though I may not be capable of improving? Should I stop treating it lightly and treat it seriously because treating it seriously is the "proper" way to approach it and that I should never look at it with a lighthearted view?

I'm a little confused, you say MLP is a good show, but then in the second paragraph you call it horrible and should be canceled because it has some flaws?

 

All cartoons have flaws, No long running cartoon (or any show for that matter) exists without a few terrible episodes, Bad decisions, and plot holes. By your logic, one could say all cartoons should be canceled and that sounds a little overkill.

I think I understand what you're asking.

 

The answer is that you lack some social knowledge.

 

In analysing you/we are expressing an opinion and/or viewpoint. That opinion/viewpoint, although ours, is not universally right or wrong. Only through support of other viewpoints does it become so (eg. a viewpoint that is shared by many people becomes the "common viewpoint").

You are upset that, when you express your viewpoint on the forums, people appear and express viewpoints that are in contrast to yours.

 

You seem to think that this is an attack or something. This is what is known as a "debate". Yes, it is a bit disconcerting when someone says "you are wrong", it is even more upsetting when they do it with all the grace of a dancing Twilight Sparkle, but this is a part of interaction that we all go through and learn how to adapt to.
