Same, I looked back at stuff I watched/loved as a kid like “Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland” (great American/Jappanese joint movie, the Capcom adaptation NES game was good too) and wonder why it never scared me. Guess the cuteness balanced out the dark moments.
Heck, my neices & nephews loved stuff like “Jurassic Park” (severed arm!) sense they were three years old.
Agreed, I saw far freakier things when I was little and they didn’t give me nightmares.
Absolutely, as is the case with most shonen anime. The reason Westerners think otherwise is almost entirely to do with the difference in cultural standards and what can be aired on TV.
Wasn’t Dragon Ball Z a kid show anyway
I remember back when some tried to say things like Twilight fighting Tirek DBZ-style, or some of the edgy humor are only appealing to bronies, and aren’t something kids would enjoy… They seem to forget what it was like being a kid watching edgy ‘80s, 90s or 2000s kid shows, movies, and such. (Not to mention the show always had a bit of edge to it to balance out the sugaryness, heck Fluttershy gets barfed on in the first season.)
Heck my li’l niece laughed her head off over Fluttershy “attacking” that bear in “Lesson Zero.” Kids love crazyness & cartoon violence.
I know this argument is months old, but my 7 and 9 year old siblings (the 7 yr old being female), loved this episode, and found it absolutely hilarious, so you can kinda suck it.
I actually think this was the second best frame in the episode. The best frame was Gummy’s eyes.
You’d be surprised, some kids actually quote the memes, know who “Derpy,” and “Dr. Hooves” are, and such. Who says they won’t find this stuff funny?
Besides, it’s kinda fun to later get hidden “jokes” in your favorite shows from when you were a kid. (Something many cartoons have done before MLP. So it’s not a new thing.) So chances are, they’ll appreciate this stuff as they get older.
Ultimately this episode is seasons old by now. You can have your opinion, but you’re not gonna change anyone’s mind.
Except it feels like the show has been doing this more and more since as far back as Season 2 (Season 2 was a pretty good season in my opinion, but you can tell that it’s taking a turn for the cash craze around that period). Now I’m neither someone who worships the “Faust era”, nor am I a “Hasdrone”, but IMO, the show has been taking a downward spiral, before this episode. This episode just sort of marks a point of no return.
It was a 100th episode spectacular. It was deliberately unlike the 99 episodes before it, and barring a drastic acceleration of the production schedule, it’s not something we have to worry about happening again any time soon if at all.
The exaggerated references to Doctor Who and The Big Lebowski (key word: exaggerated), the “epik MLG montage thru ponyville (GONE WRONG?!?!?!)”, the cringeworthy pandering, (hell the villain was a frikin panda, they knew what they were doing), it all felt very disconnected from what the show was originally. I know I’m not alone in the belief that the show is going downhill, as it starts to embrace a colder, more detached style. I believe that this episode was kind of a breaking point for the show.
How exactly did it do that?
There was still plenty of friendship involved.
I realize that the whole “brony episode” thing was actually the Hasbro executives idea. I realize that Larson initially said no. But ultimately, nothing is gonna change my opinion that the episode was garbage, which deviated so far from what the show was originally intended to be, that I was wondering the whole time if I was watching a fan video or something. This one shot exemplifies the whole episode, in my opinion.
To be honest, most of Season 5 didn’t really feel like My Little Pony, at least IMO.
The target audience for this episode was us. 100%. They didn’t even try to hide it.
I think you need to relax a little.
No. Give me a fucking break.
Also, I’m getting really sick and tired of people confusing ponies for horses.
Look at the source; the wiki’s page for the image. The people in the photo are Timothy Packford, Jim Miller, Katrina Hadley, Jayson Thiessen, and Ishi Rudell. Katrina said that the photographer was probably Denny Lu.
I don’t think he’s IN the picture… I think he TOOK it, (I could be wrong on that), but check the tags, there are five names in there, and five people in the picture, MA Larson isn’t in the picture.
