My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Fan Club

Of course. If there weren't fans of the older MLPs, then the series and franchise probably would have ended before we got 'Friendship is Magic'. Don't put down the older series, because while they may not have been as great to you and to others, they are what led us to the series we see here today because others enjoyed it.

Eh, I meant:

">Older Gen MLP movie
>Bronies

Bronies watch older movies of MLP?"

I doubt many bronies would be willing enough to try any pre-G4 series/movies. I watched an episode of G3, never again. And my friend watched one of the MLP movies, he would never do it again either.

Exactly, the bashing on the previous generations of My Little Pony is pointless, especially since without them, there would be no Friendship is Magic, and Rainbow Dash would still be dressing in style.

I've seen a few of the previous gens cartoons, and to be fair, they are not as bad as the fandom makes them out to be, they're not great, but they certainly aren't bad like most people make them out to be...

But girls don't use computers, and I bet little girls wouldn't have used it either in the 80's.

And the problem I have with the older MLP is that not many, if any, males liked them in the first place. They were MEANT to be for little girls, instead of G4 which was meant to be for all audiences. The older generations look ugly as ****, literally have pink everywhere, and if a male had watched it, they would be called coltcuddler and that's it. Whereas this show, you'd be called coltcuddler, you just don't mind it, and they would turn into a brony in time.

Like, I'd let myself be okay with watching Friendship is Magic, but I still have my dignity to not watch My Little Pony Friends or the old G1.

When guys say this I can't help but wonder if they say it because they can't fathom that a girl would be interested in something they are; and that they have too low self-esteem to think anyone other than guys like them exist. ... Or is it because they actually only want guys like them to exist?

The older generations aren't that bad. The target audience was little girls, yeah, and if you don't like it, don't bash it. Then you're being just as bad as the people who bash FIM without watching it (although FIM is vastly superior).

Wut.

Yeah, I agree. MLP:FiM is meant for more people, considering there is actually more of a plot (I suppose) if you look past the cheesiness. Also, the humor and the different characters' personalities appeal to more people.

They said imagine if the fandom (implying fandom at that current time) had computers during the 1980's My Little Pony generation. In the 1980's, the fandom was highly and mostly populated with little girls. Little girls wouldn't be even using the internet to talk about MLP at that age (Or at least, I wouldn't expect them to).

Also, I love the plot in FiM. It looks so delicious, especially Rarity's plot in Dragonshy and Scootaloo's plot in The Cutie Pox.

>Implying I haven't watched any of the older generations

I have watched one episode and then some of G3. I watched that Sea Ponies video SHOO BE DOO SHOO SHOO BE DOO.
I don't want to watch G3.5 or older MLP. IMO, I just can't stan

Oh dear it would appear as if I missed this thread in my previous travels. I would like to join this group :3

- Favorite Episode: The Best Night Ever
- Favorite Main Pony: Fluttershy
- Favorite Side Pony: Derpy Hooves
- About Me: I got introduced to the show in June, and have followed the show a lot since then.

And new episode involving Rainbow Dash and having a pet? Scootaloo is first in line.

Mmm..you'd be surprised...

Pony plots are always good.
They're especially fun if 2+ are working together, makes it so much more interesting, you know.

I'm definitely excited for the new RD episode. Since she's the only one without a pet, I'm interested to see what she'll have. My hope is it's Scootaloo a giant dragonfly. That would be cool. I wonder if this could be a setup for an episode focusing on all the pets, or maybe a talent show where they all compete?

There's been a real lack of Fluttershy lately, though, it's true. I hope that she gets an episode soon and at least makes an appearance in this and the upcoming Rarity episode.

Scootaloo's not a chicken, she's a dodo!

Also, is there anyone here that joined the fandom in February or before, or am I the oldest one?

Fan since mid-October 2010. But I've been following Faust's work prior to it.

Awesome, time to not feel old. :D

And Scootaloo shouldn't be treated as a pet. It's too degrading for her.

I agree. She should be abused by Dashie!

Oh dear, I thought I posted this in the thread already, but I think I backed out as I was doing it.
Well, typed up again:

- Favorite Episode: The Best Night Ever; Suited For Success; Return of Harmony
- Favorite Main Pony: Rarity
- Favorite Side Pony: Spitfire, Vinyl Scratch
- About Me: I've been a fan of the show since its debut (and I was a fan of the older generations, but of course not to such an extent). I really love the adorable style and the characters of the show. Personality-wise, I'm a mix of Rarity and Rainbow Dash, or maybe Spitfire, I'd suppose. I'm extremely feminine and can be a bit of a drama queen, but I also really enjoy adventure, like bike racing, and dream of flying planes ;p
