Would you still watch the show if there was no fandom?

I got to the end of season 3 on Netflix before i even realized this show actually had a fandom, so yes, i would still watch it, and i sort-of did.  :maud:

I watched all of season one (Binge watched in a couple days) before I even knew about the fandom. I got hooked on the show when I saw the "Flutterguy" clip on YouTube. Enjoying the fandom is just a bonus.

I could enjoy the show without the fandom, but I don't think I would have had a reason to think it might be worth trying if I didn't hear about the cult following the show got. So I probably would have just never seen it. I generally don't just watch random shows on a whim.

Hello and bro hoof to all!

 

Inspired by the Equestria Daily post: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/04/discussion-if-fandom-didnt-exist-would.html

 

 

Would you still enjoy My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic if there was no fandom to go along with the great show? If there was no fanfiction, no fanart, not fanmusic img-1362394-1-ohmy.png ! Would you still watch the show?

 

I would. I don't need other people to like what I like. It's not up to them, it's up to me (but I still love the fandom!img-1362394-2-laugh.png )

 

Tell me in the comments below!

I sure would, never went to these things online til after I watched it...all 4 seasons.

I came for the ponies, not the fandom. I may have first saw MLP because of a PMV, but I didn't engage with the brony community for my first three years of pony. So I think I'd still watch the show.

Probably not. The show is good, but the fandom complements it, for me anyway. It's what brought me to the show in the first place; i find the fan works that appear as the show carries on very enjoyable.

That's pretty much me as well. While it was because of bronies that I discovered the show, I never really interacted with the fans all that much until I joined the fandom. Even then, without all of the art & such, I'd still watch the show.

Certainly. I do love this show and feel it has had a powerful impact on me. Good characters, good setting, funny jokes, etc.

 

I would say that I may not be as better a person I am then before, because this would be just another thing I enjoy in isolation rather than a community I joined.

Lately, I've felt kind of far away from the fandom. But yet, I still watched the show, it still cured the depression with smiles and magic. With this in mind, I feel I would still watch the show if there wasn't an amazing fandom behind it.

I prefer the fandom over the show, but I'd still be watching it since it gives me a lot of much-needed positivity and entertainment. Not having anyone to talk about it with would be kinda disappointing, though. =/

If I only watched the first and second episode I know I would watch it through though :)

 

There are shows that I watched even though I didn't know they had fandoms so yeah I would watch it fandom or not.

Not anymore, infact I currently don't watch it very much, I mostly just participate in the fandom. I still like it, I just feel that I have watch it too much and thus it has become cloy. I would probably completly move on if there was no fandom.

I don't think I would watch the show at all without the fandom, as my sister showed me this show, and she only heard of it through the fandom. On the other hand, maybe I would if I found my younger siblings watching it. Though not as often as I already do I guess.

Since I'm already into the show, if the fandom disappeared tomorrow I would still probably watch it, but had it not been for the fandom I would have never found the show to begin with.

If the show had never become popular, I would have not had a reason to start watching it. It was the many dedicated fans who allowed me to see past the "My Little Pony" name and find that it really is a great show.

 

If the fandom was significantly smaller and less active, but still big enough to be noticed, I would still watch it.

 

But this is a moot point; if the show is good then a fandom will form around it.
