Do You Want The Upcoming Series "Pony Life" To Be Cancelled?

[cmarston1 5,959]

No.  I generally think it looks pretty cute.  I don't really agree with a lot of the criticisms people have towards it.  I for one like the character designs and think they are charming, and I actually think this kinda of cutesy art is fitting for a My Little Pony cartoon.  Given that it is a reboot of a beloved property with a chibi art style and focusing more on comedy, I have heard a decent amount of people fearing that this would be like Teen Titans Go, but I don't really think this will be the case.  The humor in Teen Titans Go is cynical and mean, and I don't really see that vibing with the My Little Pony franchise.  If anything I could see Pony Life being more like Unkitty, which while I haven't really seen myself, I have heard pretty good things about.

No, I’m honestly more interested in this than ever finishing S9, namely because of both who are working on it as well as who aren’t. As for the video being set to private, it might have to do with the song, or more likely, the artist behind it, doing something pretty provocative over the weekend, making Hasbro wanting to distance themselves from her for a bit

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I agree it looks awful, but I don't want them to cancel it. I was still going to give it a chance one it came out.

[Rushing cash 836]

No they shouldn't, some people put work into it and not even giving it a chance is not fair to them. Plus anything pony related is better then nothing.

[Photon Jet 5,491]

No. It is important to give new things a try for viewers to leave their first impression.

I was wondering if anyone here things that "Pony Life" looks so bad that it needs to be cancelled.

 

I truly never understood this mind set. People don't like something, so instead of shrugging their shoulders and watching something else, they demand it be cancelled? Makes no sense to me. There are lots of shows I can't stand. (I'm looking at you, South Park / The Simpsons) Both have been on for years, and many people love them. That's great for them, and nobody forces me to watch.

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

Not the direction that I saw the series headed after FiM ended, but it looks interesting to say the very least. As a community, we might as well give it a chance before being so quick to rebuke it.

Besides, I'm very fond of absurdist comedy whenever it's done correctly, so I'll definitely wait to see how this pans out.

[Sepul-Coloratura 762]

I don't want them to cancel any shows because of the wrong reasons. If Pony Life would turn out to be an objectively uninspired shit show, it's better being cancelled beforehand and replaced with a better show. I don't want them to make any shows that I would dislike, but I also wouldn't like them having no self reflecting standards that they have to wait for the audience to tell them if the show sucks so bad that it should be cancelled. They should make good enough material to make themselves feel confident about it, and they should also be passionate enough about their project to defend it, even when some people might dislike the show.

It also reminds me of the Sonic movie. Yes, it is better to have the character design changed. But shouldn't have they noticed it before people started flipping out? Shouldn't they have known better or shouldn't they have been more sure of themselves to begin with?

I don't want them being too careful about the fandom when making the show. It would end up satisfying nobody and being mediocre. I want to be surprised by a group of active and bold creators, not passive ones.

Yes. Please. It's a disaster waiting to happen. It needs to end. I'm surely not intending on watching it.

[Yoshi89 5,293]

It wouldn't be fair of me to wish a show was cancelled before one episode even airs. I'll hold off on criticism until I see one in full.

[Misty Shadow 7,866]

No, because I am not a mentally unadjusted teenager in the body of an adult.  If it sucks, I will ignore it, that will be all. It is a freaking kids show that has the right to be around so long as it's keeping the kids happy. 

[Ganondorf8 11,303]

It could be that the reason Hasbro set the video to private as well as remove it from Facebook, YouTube, and wherever else it was uploaded, was due to the choice of song which many feel was a poor decision. I won't repeat any of the lyrics here but many of you know what it is. Anyway, I want to see Pony Life to be released in animated form. Sure, the animation style is different and the characters appear to have different personalities, but that shouldn't be a turning off point. Hasbro is making this idea a reality so that they can market it via the already released toy line and to give MLP something before generation five eventually comes out. It's just a fun little spin-off.

My thoughts exactly. Mlp had great animation. Why would they ever think to follow it up with this??!?!?? 

Unless they are trying to kill the series and thus kill the brony fandom...??? 

I got this feeling that they tried to kill the Bronies in 2013. I am sure they succeeded a little, and with Pony Life, maybe they will succeed completely?

Makes sense. I gave pony life about 8.2 seconds and I couldnt take it anymore. 

However I will always be loyal to my princess!

8.2 seconds? Where can I get that?

 

Are you talking about the commercial, or something newer?

Well, yeah, pretty much that's where the downfall came. Somewhere around those years when twilicorn happened. I saw lots and lots of bronies leave the fandom on a rage fit after season 3's finale. I was a doomsayer myself. I was not so wrong about the show becoming worse over the time, though season 7 was a huge surprise. I don't think hasbro is trying to kill the fandom, though. I think they are just hopping into the calarts bandwagon while it still "works". After all, Hasbro is just a company looking after the moneys. They'll do whatever to keep a kid friendly franchise and milk it whatever the means.

You are spot on!

This is exactly how I saw it as well.

Season 7 and Forgotten Friendship saved my brony status! But I have a feeling that was a little too late. Let's see what Pony Life can do for us bronies, lolz

I think they may be worried it could be too similar to Teen Titans Go...I wouldn’t want it to be cancelled since I haven’t seen anything of it.

Probably just the commercial. I dont even know. It was horrible. The stuff of nightmares.

If it is so bad, why am I singing it's theme song all the time in my head?

 

Also, Fluttershy is so cute when she dances like Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Tube Man...
 

Spoiler

not!

Not to beat a dead horse, (See what I did there?) but this raises something I mentioned in my last post. I LOVED Teen Titans. I can't stand Teen Titans Go. I don't watch it, and have no need or though for it to be cancelled. I really truly don't understand why people would demand something be cancelled just because they don't like it. It's so unfair to those that obviously do.

I think more what is being asked is; does anyone like pony life?

You literally cannot even, huh? It is equally unfair to those that like the first iteration to spend resources on a completely different iteration. Both statements are superfluous. So what is your true position?

I'm a simple fan. I see a fanboy police of vice and virtue, I gank them. You fear debate since all you want to do is browbeat others with fake positivity. You seriously have no idea why some fans act like that? Come on. You haven't even tried to understand. Yeah, you better run.
