TS: My Little Pony vs. Care Bears

(rosemary, no I haven't seen that necklace, but I've sure seen your dirrrrty one!)

For this thread, tho, I'll take the ponies.

My next-door neighbor was Rainbow Brite for Halloween when we were like five or six. I think I was jealous, in some pre-aware-of-gender-roles way.

Martha Coakley should have called upon the Sea Ponies: Y/N?

It's possible that this thread has made me laugh more than any other thread.

Those old My Little Pony cartoons were so bad they were compelling. A few years ago, I saw one with my daughter about a seemingly evil, but misunderstood, pig-princess, who was manipulated by her underlings. Nothing made sense, everything kept flip-flopping from one scene, and one shot, to the next, the dialogue was unlistenable, and it was frantic, despite not much really happening in the story.

I tried to find it on YouTube. Alas, no luck.

The new My Little Pony show, subtitled Friendship is Magic, has developed quite a cult following over the past few months. It was developed by Lauren Faust, who also worked on The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends - the new show is her attempt to make a proper girl's cartoon, that appeals to its core audience instead of patronising it.

Adult male MLP fans have a name for themselves:bronies. They're even namechecked in the latest TV ad:

bronie

people are really into this shit now; it's somehow become memey

If I ever found myself in a position where I was calling myself a "bronie" I would have to question a series of previous life decisions

For a while there I actually feared I was becoming a bronie, but I tired of it after a few episodes. *Phew*.

Not a bad cartoon, though.

"new yoke city"!
i woulda likely have been one of those geeks in jr. high

When bronies stop being polite and start getting real.

OMG how did I not know about bronies until now? I just . . . woah.

"The whole enterprise really took off when Kacey met Eike, a "black bunny avatar" with anime hair, allegedly portrayed by a German man. Eike proposed fake Second Life marriage to Kacey, at which point Kacey totally fell in love with him. Not OtakuOfTomobiki, mind you. Just Kacey. Because Kacey was the one playing Second Life. Not OtakuOfTomobiki. Although the real person behind Eike presumably had legitimate feelings for the person he believed to be behind Kacey, OtakuOfTomobiki treated the whirlwind affair like an anime fairy tale about people who are not him. "

I just want you to know that my ponies are not happy anymore.

goodbye horses, indeed.

holy shit

I am not getting a damn thing done today

No, you're not and neither am I. In fact, I was just thinking the same thing about myself.

The bronie provide hours of entertainment.

My favorite new revelation in this whole thing is the phrase "saddlesore"

Third, MLP:FIM is a new version of the show because Lauren Faust, who worked on Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, wanted to make a kids show that wouldn't cause the adults that watch with their children to slam their heads into the wall to make the saccharine, high-pitched, aural trauma go away.

based on the 2 minutes of this that I watched, where two of the ponies were having a bitch fit over cleaning up a park, I don't think they succeeded

Foster's was the bomb tho

Foster's >>> MLP

One of my main problems with Bronys is that they don't have good taste. How can they not like Foster's better? PEER PRESSURE

maybe INSANITY or REPRESSED CHILDHOOD or most likely "IM A LIL WUSS"

I don't really get this either. I quite like the new MLP show, but there are current shows which are clearly better, e.g. Adventure Time, Regular Show, P&F. But a lot of toon-geeks are treating MLP as one of the greatest cartoon series EVER made, top five material. It seems to me like a lot of them are getting too caught up in the buzz.

I like Foster's better! But MLP is fun too, and if it gets me out of having to watch Dora or Max and Ruby I am more than happy to watch MLP. No one who doesn't have kids can understand how truly horrible most modern kids cartoons are.

I suppose that if one really, really liked such items as Care Bears and My Little Pony, one might have a discerning opinion of which was better. To one like myself, this question is like asking whether I prefer my vomitus with a predominance of half-digested red cabbage or green cabbage.
