So, I took the plunge and recently endured an episode of My Little Pony. I've been putting up with the milk-curdlingly annoying fangirls in my school year screaming about it, and even my best friend has converted to the 'Brony' ways. On every forum I visit, be it Lego or not, my eyes are always assaulted by profile pictures of Ponies. Being the heavily critical and opinionated, yet somewhat open-minded person that I am, I decided I needed to watch this show before I engaged in my ritual put-downs.
I watched it and it didn't really appeal to me - it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. To me, it was just another marginally notable child's cartoon that comes and goes in a blur and isn't particularly memorable. It lacked much wit or satire, had characters that almost broke my obnoxious-detector and a plot line that I found trivial. Maybe later on in the series it gets better (?), but from the few episodes of season one I watched, it failed live up to all these magic expectations put out by the show's fan base. I can't really see the incentive of utilising my extremely slow internet speed to watch more of the Ponies, as I could struggling to pirate the latest GoT episodes instead, and I also don't think my ears can take much more of Apple Jack.
