Friendship The Magic This World Needs

Why would countless of adult admit they love a show that has the fame of being lame,girly, flat,dumb and Merchandise Driven?

Long story short it is awesome!

The first quality of this shown I want to note is the respect it has for its viewers. While us boys actually got to see great shows with great plots and interesting characters girls got only very lame shows. It’s no wonder how in our minds girly became a synonym of lame.

However what makes this show stand out are the character’s personalities. Each pony is relatable and unique.In fact the pony’s personalities are what make this show so especial. While in other incarnations of the show they were si defined more by outdated feminine stereotypes than people that you couldn't tell each pony apart.

I could use pages just to describe each character’s personalities but part of the charm of the show is to get to know them. The characters are amazingly well developed and enjoyable. What impressed me is that none of them are one dimensional.They are very balanced in flaws and virtues .One of the most enjoyable and deep characters I have ever seen. You will be surprised of the Hidden Depths of each character even the ones that seem to be one dimensional

Just looking at each pony expression and perceive every detail in every frame (even for ponies that aren't “ active on the plot”) is always a Freeze Frame Bonus. Whether it is a Slice Of Life situation or an epic adventure : it’s always a joy to learn more about each character’s unique and interesting personalities. Without doubt you will fall In love with at least one of them.

Adults looking at media aimed at kids or teens aren’t new phenomena. However the fact that many have admitted their love on this show (and many more have converted) it’s a testament of the quality of this show.

A lot of adults that have to face the hardships of Real Life even resorting to cynicisms and the lose on the beliefs of ideals like love and friendship . This show will remind you of The Power Of Love.Friendship really is the magic this world needs. The lessons this show has are helpful not only to kids but to adults as well. I have never enjoyed a cartoon like this since Phineas And Ferb.

I say without doubt that this is one of the best shows I have ever seen and one of my favorite shows ever. Try it you will surely live it.

I give it a perfect score 10/10

Title should be "Friendship: The Magic that the World Needs". In other words you are missing a :. Unless, that character is verboten in review titles for technical reasons?

Great points! I completely agree. The character's depths are REALLY intresting. Take Rarity for example. In her first scene, she rushes off to fix up Twilight Sparkle's hair and appearence. In that instence, it seems rather shallow. But then later when she cuts off part of her own tail to fix a sea serpent's hair, it really shows that she geuninely wants to help people who are having problems with their appearence. To her, it's Serious Business and she truly wants to help.

And I agree, a big thing is remembering the Power Of Love and the Power Of Friendship is still vital, even today, is important. Sometimes we do lose sight of that and need to remember it.

"girls got only very lame shows".

How cute. Someone was deprived of The Powerpuff Girls as a kid.

He's a male. I doubt he paid enough attention to anything targeted at girls when he was a child to be making those kind of statements.

^^You realize lauren ( that worked in power puff with her husband Craig that was ... The creator of it) was a kid when the first MLP cartoon was released right?. Nobody could be so dumb, I will pretend you were just trolling.

I was of course a big power puff girls fan as a kid.
