I don't understand all this hype for MLP.
I understand that some people watch it just because it's "something nice" to watch. I totally get that. There's a lot of admittedly crappy things I like just because they make me happy. My interest in Ozy & Millie is a good example of this.
But I will never understand how some people will go out of their way to enforce the fact that it is a legitimately well-made show. Because it's really not. I try to keep an open mind whenever I can, take everything with a grain of sugar and whatnot, but holy crap is it hard sometimes. The animation is Johnny Test tier, the cast consists of exhausted western archetypes, the episode plots are so generic and cookie-cutter that if I didn't know any better I'd guess the show was some elaborate deconstruction of the current post-golden-age era of cartoons. Even the humor isn't all that good. I think it managed to squeeze a chuckle out of me maybe once while I was watching some recommended episodes.
Eh, I don't know. Maybe I'm still "missing something here"â„¢, but I just don't think I'm up for devoting any more of my time to figuring out how this show in particular is in any way different from your average merchandise-whoring television show marketed towards the third-grader demographic.
Stay euphoric, my friends.
