Bendy 1,821 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 (edited) Has anyone noticed how fast the IMDB ratings of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are dropping? It was like 8.9 a few weeks ago, now it's 7.9!

Doctor XFizzle 8,669 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Haters be hating, wasting their time and energy to conduct a ratings raid on IMDB.

Strife 455 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 MLP wasn't popular enough for trolls and haters and actively search things like that out and skew the ratings by giving it as poor of a rating as they could. However, with the growing popularity, and media spread, of MLP ... those haters and trolls are taking notice and directing their tunnel-vision hate beams at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendy 1,821 July 11, 2012 Author Share July 11, 2012 (edited) Maybe they are making tons upon tons of IMBD accounts for the soul purpose to drop it's ratings? So should we make upon tons of IMBD accounts for the soul purpose to put up it's ratings to counter this?

Colon Leftbracket 971 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Wait I couldn't take the one article seriously... "Certainly its not the best show, but personally think it is the best cartoon ever." No... That's asking for a bit much... I mean I love the show and the fandom, but... best cartoon ever? Personally I'd be hard pressed to say my personal top 10 (but it is still young and has room to surprise me mind you). He demands a 9.4. I personally think that's a bit generous. 8.5 stars is a much better range for the show. Well above average. That's where this show sits. 3 [New siggy in progress!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiliscael 3,960 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Does this matter at all? NO. We shouldn't care what others think of our fanbase, we know how awesome this show is and we really have nothing to prove to a bunch of 13 year old "trolls" who just discovered memes a month ago on iFunny. 3 I tend to take the high road, get stoned, and fly low . . .

Nas 2,873 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Meh..IMDb doesn't really count for reflecting the true reputation and popularity of the show (as you can see). I'd just ignore it, I mean after all, the site is purposed more for movies than television shows, IMO. My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derpy Dash 233 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 I don't think any IMDB score, not even how low, will stop people who love the show to quit watching it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,881 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 What the hell is IMDB anyway, and who cares about what the rating of Fausticorns mind gold is on it? Seriously, whatever. Welcome to the internet, this is why we can't have nice things, because haters spam the low rating to try and ruin it, and, so do the occasional die hard criticizers who refuse to see the good in the show.

Princess_Molestia 1,460 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 IMDB is a pile of wikipedia-like crap if Pod People is lower then The Room...yeah IMDB is shit Can't visit Ponyville? Show up and say you can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBaby 660 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Yeah, IMDB is the Wikipedia of Internet rating sites. I wouldn't take it too seriously. The same thing happened with Pokemon, and we know how popular that franchise still is. A Winner Is You!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lawful Jordo~ 2,066 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Well, MLP is far from 'BEST CARTOON EVER', but it's definitely in my top 10. As for the drop in ratings, it's just haters trying to mess with the fandom. IMDB ratings tend to be a little bias in the first place.

Nah 3,182 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Who cares, I don't like the IMDB that much, if people are stupid enough to believe LOTR is a ripoff of Harry Potter then don't visit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttermedic 86 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 I think they're putting hate ratings on it because of Yahoo some story they posted a while ago about BroNYcon 2012, so I guess it attracted more trolls and more bronies? Besides, Yahoo finally caught up to 2010 news, now get on to real news stories, not about the type of food Justin Bieber and his new dates are having in Fresno.

Radiance64 7,053 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 7.9 still ain't that bad though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Diamond 7,569 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 The score of 7.9 (8.0 rounded) seems about right: MLP is an excellent show---but far from perfect. Its score probably jumped due in large part to the season finale which is arguably the best episode(s) of the entire series. Since then, it probably returned to where it normally ranges. Besides, IMDB is open to the public, so the rating system isn't exactly free of silliness---from both critics and fans alike. Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te.

Starswirl the Trixie 975 July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 If it continues to fall we can counter-balance it with a flood of Brony votes. While few go to IMDB for ratings, it is important for the Brony cause to make MLP look good. #SOCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JhonHipster 124 July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 Who cares about ratings? What matters is we all know its good. Actually this is good. Newcomers will expect less watching the show and be more impressed at the shows quality when the watch it. lets hope this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy 1,821 July 26, 2012 Author Share July 26, 2012 (edited) Bump Just in case anyone cares the rating is now 8.7. Either tons of Bronies joined and put up the ratings or IMDB Admins themselves deleted biased votes that put the ratings down. Note: I made this post at a Internet cafe, since there isn't much Internet in the Aran Islands.

Ghastchip 33 July 26, 2012 Share July 26, 2012 Meh, according to the rules on imdb, the first couple hundred revies count almost nothing, nothing like a member at all, after that your vote count as a member and after a undetermined ammount of reviews (some says 5000, some say more) your power of vote is bigger that the one of an average member, kind of like Newgrounds, so we have not to worry about trolls that create accounts just to put a negative review on MLP, I still like it, and ratings don't affect my opinion at all, In fact, I only use IMDB to see who's in what movie and some funny trivia, not to look at the score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokuc 8,173 July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 Well the ratings on IMDb are weird sometimes and this is probably just haters who have rated it low just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrooveBroove 680 July 29, 2012 Share July 29, 2012 Reminds me of when the whole fiasco of Dark Knight and Godfather ratings were going on. So much back and forth to that, that in the end Shawsank Redemption came out on top since no one had messed with the rating for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
