That moment when you hear Danny DeVito's name. (C&C Tanya Voice) I'm there! Hasbro, really good at keeping a franchise alive... (Cough) Heroscape (cough)
Actually, MLP being rebooted isn't surprising. They've been rebooting the franchise since the beginning after all, since his has been going for years it's natural they'd want to pull the plug at some point.
@mandellorian Hasbro probably doesn't have much choice but downsize a bit due to... The Last Jedi (guess which company Disney has licensed to make the toys).
“What’s with bronies making good music?” OH MY GOD! that’s too true. And the fact that a lot of them blew up even further than just brony music after a while just blows my mind. So many incredible artists and creators in that fandom.
I like all kinds of music but i'd say that around 1/4 of the music i listen to is either brony music or music produced by a brony musician/former brony musician.
have you even tried to get into a new fandom after MLP? I have not been an active brony for some time now but I could never find myself comfortably into another fandom since. Have you trired finding art, music or good fanfiction of other fandoms? I mean, there is the occasional thing or two, but I can't even list five fanfics outside the MLP fandom that I liked, while Fallout Equestria is still standing strong as my favourite book since I first read it and stories like Hard Reset are better than most published books I've read. This level of quality and quantity of fan work is unique to the Ponies and that's why I love this fandom as much as I do.
The reason mlp is so good when compared to other children’s cartoons is because there’s actually a lot of lore and character development, it is for kids but the story can easily appeal to anyone. The only childish aspect to the story is honestly just the friendship morals
I dunno. You're forgetting that anime has a bunch of sub-genres intended for different audiences... I think if a guy started watching 'pretty cure' you may also find people being a bit weirded out by that...
@@adp6632 If a Girl watches tranformers it's cool, if a guy watches this is bad? Besides, the creator of My Little Pony said that she wanted it to be for both.
@@emartin29 no she said that she wanted to make it so that it wouldn't be torture for dads to watch it with there kids. She wasn't aiming for single guys to like it
@@KuraIthys Shit, you got me. I just started watching that (although there are like a million different PreCure series that have not much in common, but I just started to see some episodes with (adult) friends for fun once and enjoyed it too much ^^
Two main reasons MLP: FiM became a hit outside the intended demographic. 1. And this is the most important part...it's a well-made show. The animation is good, The songwriting is very good. The dialogue is often very good. This was not just "mailing it in just to sell toys". 2. The show has a good message.
Lots of well made shows being sidelined or underestimated for being a “girl show” and other stupid crap so no, that’s not the reason. If you wanna know the actual reason it became popular among men, watch Jenny Nicholson’s video, it’s actually very interesting.
Oddly enough if a girl likes cars, guns, sports, or anything considered “guy things” they’re praised for it since their “one of the dudes” but If a guy likes girl things they’re persecuted for it. Makes no sense
Honestly women also get shit for enjoying feminine things like chick flicks, not "natural" make-up etc. Not as much as guys ofc, but I always found it stupid.
“I like Friendship is Magic, but I get bored when series go on and on and never stop. I'd like there to be an ending, and if Friendship is Magic decides to wrap up, I'd be okay with that.” Boy do I have good news for you.
Anyone else remember Pound puppies Littlest pet shop Jem and the holograms Sabrina secrets of a teenage witch And Strawberry shortcake Those were the times
alot of the hard core fans of the show either have series mental health issues, physical health issues, or have survived tramuatic events. I've met a few hard core fans with PTSD after serving in the military. This show is very cathartic and serves as a great escape.
@@nielskivioq1168 for me my favorite has almost always been either rainbow dash or applejack, outside of the mane 6 it would have to be derpy and vinyl scratch for their meme status and overall entertainment value
@@magic_pink_horse true, I meant "a large number" not a majority. I'm not statistician but theres a larger number of bronies with mental illness who found benefit in the fandom then say Harry Potter fans, twilight fans, or other fandoms
What's hilarious is that the original 80s show killed off 2 villains, first in the pilot and the second in another episode. 80s MLP had more guts to kill off villains than boys action shows like GI Joe and He-Man, just think about that.
Well, there's also the Rainbow Of Light, which it's not as powerful as the Magic Of Friendship. But if that Rainbow Of Light becomes a character in the next generation, I'm sure I will binge watching.
@@Elementa2006 I never grew up with G1 but I surely remember that there's three witches in the 1986 movie. I guess I must figured out how that Smooze really originated or something. I'm glad the Rainbow Of Light bamboozled those witches and tastes their own medicine at the end. I could just imagine if those witches will return in G5 or something.
Is that what it is now? I remember watching the first season (of friendship is magic) whenever it first came out then stopped around seaon 5ish bc I grew out of it
grace I guess lol dude, I picked it up around the first or second season when I was in like 5th or 6th grade. I started college now, not into it as much but I still casually enjoy it
i eventually stopped watching mlp because one of my closest friends as well as my family would tease me about it a lot(im now 15 turning 16), id sometimes watch it in private but once i got to the episode where a group of villains tried working together i got a little bored of it. now that i know its ending i might push myself to see how it ends since it was my childhood
@@SourRobo8364 I guess I'm just lucky that lately I've been watching ones that end nicely (or are otherwise continuous). But I will admit a lot of anime have a "read the manga" ending.
Tinker Bell's movies are awesome! It still pisses me off that they probably will never make another one... I blame the Planes movie for taking the money from the Disney Fairies studio and burning it!
To all you grown ass bronies out there, watch what you love!! MLP has helped me cope with my PTSD, and it’s no wonder why there are so many bronies from the military. It’s a wonderful show with people that care about what they’re writing, great animation that improves every season, and healthy lessons in between all those battles. It’s still a great inspiration for my art, and I will carry this show in my heart for many years to come.
@@subifyouhatetiktokandreddit234 I’m actually not lying! You can search it up for yourself; there’s a whole connection between bronies and the military, and one of the MLP voice actors, Tara Strong, told the story of how a US army sergeant approached her to show a tattoo of Twilight Sparkle. A simple google search would show you that there are indeed a lot of bronies in the military, as well as on TH-cam.
@@subifyouhatetiktokandreddit234 nope, it’s true. a lot of brony content creators i liked had been in the military, and they expressed that watching the show helped a lot with their trauma.
@@MLPRainbowFantasy and that's the worse Season right there. I think what they should've just did on the series is to make the ending like "We'll keep being Spies and Jerry won't still be quitting" with a high five or hug looking at us; the audiences :/ but the series kept making Jerry want to leave, Season 5 ended with Jerry quitting but came back with a Season 6... they shouldn't just thought about Jerry quitting in the first place. Maybe just once but they did it a lot of times in a few episodes + their supposed to be last episode. It looked so force.

When you know that now Twilight is immortal because she is an Alicorn and now she has to see her friends die, and everyone else in Equestria slowly pass away, being replaced by a totally different generations.....it hurts man
apparently the creators confirmed that twilight wont outlive her friends, meaning she either isn't supposed to live that long or something happened that also caused the stuff in mlp new generation
That was cold blooded well anything for money aye sucks all the toys the background characters ( SIGHS ) why I grew up watching this but to me the last 5 seasons sucked
@@jmiller2728 It's because people loved the idea of Starlight as a villain, and they don't get how easy it would be for a pony gifted at mind control to quickly capture Twilight and Spike in a hypnosis spell that convinces them that she's super-awesome at magic, and totally would've won, but Twilight discovered her super secret backstory, and talked her into being a good guy now. Because they don't realize that, all they see is what Twilight was hypnotized into believing, namely that Starlight was only bad because a childhood friend left her once, which would seem a little contrived if it were true.
As someone who's not in the fandom, but watched a handful of episodes, I have to say this was really fun and interesting to watch, even though you didn't go into the story/lore like...at all. It's hard to describe, but I really appreciate these marketing/history focused videos, that are nearly detached from the actual content of the series. Keep them coming!
There are other channels that focus on that sort of thing. Dr. Wolf comes to mind, but his lore videos are mostly insight and theorising. Honestly can't think of anyone else of the top of my head...
As someone who never got into the show, I've been blown away by its community. The amount of high quality music, parodies and even animations is incredible.
Yeah. I loved to see her trying to be a princess and a kid and an alicorn all at the same time. Plus if she a late bloomer on the cutie mark that would hard.
Some people thinks liking a thing that isn't in the norm is fighting some tyrant. And some people thinks liking a thing that isn't the norm is disgusting. Both sides are perpetually fueling each other's hatred for one another, and it makes a non-existant problem to rise.
or you can watch it entirely, buy merch but not care either way i have a brony at work, no one cares until the times he brings it up or like he took a jab at me that i know sophia the first exists and everybody laughs that he has ponies at his desk
I think what he was saying was that the idea of gender fluidity allowed for people to explore outside typical gender norms. Yeah, the show was good, but without the atmosphere of exploration, adult men, heck, adults probably never would have checked it out. It's about ponies.
Nutellia Brot: gen 5 stands for Generation 5. Each of the generations represent a different style of the toys. Gen 1 was the first movie depicted in this video and it was made to sell the gen 1 toys. Then Hasbro changed the designed and came out with the gen 2 toys without making a series until gen 3 came out, changing up the designs once more and adding the series to accompany it. The series design of the ponies changed at gen 3.5 but since it was still the same series, it was the same generation of ponies as well. Then Lauren Faust came around and developed gen 4, creating the new toys. Now since there will be a new show with a new design, that means this will be another generation: gen 5.
It’s a show about basic decency, morals, and respect. If honesty, laughter, friendship, loyalty, kindness, and magic are “girly”, then maybe being “manly” is the problem, just a thought🤷♀️
Every brony viewing this video: "One of us! One of us!" Just to clarify: This comment is not meant to be derogatory in any way to MLP: FIM fans. In fact, I'm a fan myself.
As for the original My Little Pony... you maybe had to be 8 yrs old to fall in love with it. I did. I was excited every day when it came on. It was MY show. Going to to the toy store with my sister to select and buy my very own My Little Pony was a huge fun event. It was the very first time I ever "collected" anything. I don't know, but it was a big deal, quality of the show aside. I loved the creative color combination and different symbols on the pony itself, loved the smell of a fresh pony right out of the plastic. Each pony had its own personality in my collection. I played with them. I bathed with them. They were marked on, they were loved to death. Again, I think you had to be 8. But I grew up, and hey, I still love those dang ponies! Seeing them fills me with heart rending nostalgia and memories of times with my big sister. Hope this helps explain it. ~ An 80's girl/old lady now
Currently, the second half of MLP: FiM's 9th and Final season is going right now, Saturday mornings for me. I think it's like 10 more episodes left. Just FYI to you all. ...And I _would_ probably rate and give my opinion on the story-telling/writing, but after watching other peoples' video essays on other stuff and being aware of the hype yet other shows get, even _years_ later, I don't know if I can trust my opinion anymore, so I won't try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So being as general and vague as possible ('cuz I'm dumb), I like the 2nd generation of "mane 6" in the form of the new students in Twilight's new friendship school. And each student being from most of the different species of characters we've met through the series. Why? I just do. (I hope that's ok.) ☺️😌
Supposedly the comic series is going to be the 10th season. It will continue the story picking up right after the events of season 9. Plus there's that one special that was set after the events of season 9 so I guess we can throw that in too? Sadly the comic series won't start coming out until April. I guess we can hope the comic version of season 10 gets fan animations?
Come now, what's wrong with men watching this? My brothers and I watched this, Barbie and Anime that was supposed to be 'girly'. lol. My favorite in MLP are Discord and Applejack. Though I kind of disagree with the School of friendship cause its kind of contradicted what Celestia said before.
I guess it can come off as "creepy" not because it's feminine and stuff but because it's for children and it has such a crazy fandom. It's like if many grown men were obsessed with popoyo to the point where they make fanart of him killing/making out with other characters when it is a show for little kids, it can be very strange. Especially men that want to come off as edgy so they make fanart of ponies dripped in blood, sometimes they can forget little girls will probably look up these things , like "My little pony fanart" and find this sort of things. Trust me, I was a very hardcore my little pony fan when I was a little girl and I stumbled into a music video where a pony gave birth to child and the dad killed it. I thought it'd be a fun music video. But I'm not saying you're this kind of person this is just the stigma people have around it, but if you like it by all means enjoy it. I don't think Barbie is considered that bad, to my knoledge its fanbase is more tame and anime.....anime is and always will be....anime so it's understandable why people wouldn't be too altered.
@CatandBonez True, but those also ended up being the people that left during the later years, allowing a more consistently nice fanbase to develop. I agree that early bronies were kind of cancerous, but for a fandom born of a place like 4chan, I tend to take that in it's own merit. Gotta remember, there were als the media, trolls/anti-bronies, and people who legitimately lambasted most of the early fans to a point where they had to be defensive.
@@sliverbullet7973 Strange thing is MLP's show staff did a better job capturing the adult male demographic than Disney Star Wars staff did. Shit's backwards.
Funny, I was borderline outcasted from my usual group of friends in senior year of high school for not watching MLP. It wasn't even for the "it's a show for little girls" reasoning, but more so because... it just wasn't my cup of tea. The four or so episodes I had watched were indeed enjoyable, just not something I'd go out of my way to watch more of. Bronies at the end of the day: are still people. And anyone who has read anything can tell you people are the source of their own problems. Great video, 11-out-of-12 Stay Woke.
@@mlgproplayer2915 I'm a brony. Not sure why your "friends" did that to you - it's the total opposite of what the show encourages For me, it's just a show. A show that I enjoy watching. For me, that's where it ends. I dont go to extremes by living by its morals, and I'm not a "proud" brony. It's simply something I am, and if you dont like it, that's completely okay, you dont need to talk to me.

@@arthas640 [shrugs] I could never figure out why the irrationality vehement hatred. Normally, it had nothing at all to do with whatever I commented on, and just purely because of my avatar. Heck, people with Hitler or Manson avatars never received the animosity that I used to receive. The thought processes of people intrigue me, not just on TH-cam, but in life in general. I probably should have been a psychiatrist. :-)
As a 19 year old girl I use to love watching this show when I was younger but stopped when I entered my last year of middle school because I was embarrassed. I ended up moving on to other shows appropriate for my age but I alway find myself going back to the show because I loved it so much. Now because of COVID and running out of shows to watch I went back to watching the ones I used to watch in my childhood.
The thing though is, the MLP fandom is still thriving to this day, I grew up on this show and still re-watch the episodes from time to time. I have a discord server where we talk about MLP theories. It’s one of the only shows touched on so much like it’s real. I will always be apart of the fandom, just because BronyCon and FiM is over, doesn’t mean the entire MLP universe is. They’re continuing to make movies and shows. I’m excited to see what the future holds for MLP.
I think the end of any series sparks more merch sales as it's usually the end of good merch and after the end the merch they produce is either cheaper reproductions of older stuff or its lower quality crap they churn out to keep the money stream up. The best stuff is usually made in the middle or towards the end of a series. Not jsut that but the end of a series grabs peoples attention. I doubt it had anything to do with "defiance" too
2:53 "It also appealed to adult MEN" * like it was supposed to. Target audience was for children AND THEIR PARENTS. Yeah, believe it or not, a show with plenty of appeal to people ranging in ages 7-23 were liked by people... in ranges 7-23.
But 13-23 are not kids and not usually parents (and if they are the kids are likely too young to understand). So that age group, which ended up being the primary audience, was not the intended audience.
@@mnpinky8669 They still fall within the same age range, and what appeals to someone in their early 20s is going to overlap with those in their teens. There isn't just one year where you "suddenly" don't care about cartoons or comic books, ask all the millions of fans of anime in their 30s, or comic enthusiasts, or yourself when you watch Steven Universe/Star Vs The Forces of Evil/Young Justice/or any of the other dozens of cartoon properties people _still_ _like_ even though they're bordering on adults.
The thing is, the show was meant to be _tolerable_ for parents watching the show with their children, but it wasn't supposed to make them _fans_ of the show like it ended up doing. It also wasn't targeted towards them exactly either, nor was it targeted towards males between 13 and 25, which is why it was so unexpected.
I remember when My Little Pony first came out, I was one of many that was dumbfounded by its popularity, and like so many others I was quick to scoff at both the show and its fans. It wasn’t until a few months ago of that I actually saw some footage of the show and was surprised by how good the animation and voice acting was. I watched some episodes out of curiosity, and well, the rest is history. I have loved this show and every moment of it. It’s funny, imaginative, full of adventure, and it does a fantastic job with character development and exploring the complexities of interpersonal relationships. There were so many episodes that hit close to home, and I applaud the writers for coming up with realistic scenarios that we all have at one point been through. It’s a shame the show is coming to an end, but I’m glad I was able still get into it even if it’s not as popular as it was a few years ago. As for why it became popular, I’m not discounting your theory, I just think there’s more to it. This show came out in the wake of cynical times (both economic and political), and at the end of the day I think people wanted to watch something optimistic and uplifting to take their mind off of things. Plus, if you create something that ends up transcending your target demographic, then you’ve created something special, and it should be celebrated, not mocked. Sorry for the long rant, it’s just that this was the last show I expected to have such long and lasting impression on me.
What was the footage that got you into it? I started watching when Season 1 was in full swing/ended back sometime in 2012, and I went into it, even as a gay, musical-loving nerd, expecting childish rubbish, and I even made jokes during the "storybook" segment because of how low my expectations were for MLP, but as the episode went on I realised that it was actually a pretty charming show full of potential, and it really felt like someone looked at the more childish nature of the show up to that point and went "hey, let's not try that. how about we actually make the characters and plots a little more adult friendly and relevant to modern audiences".
@@EuroMIX2 I'm subscribed to this channel that parodies shows and cartoons (splicing up footage and mixing up audio to create their own storylines). The channel unfortunately has been dead for three years now, and the only videos I never watched were his/her My Little Pony videos just because at the time I felt the show was beneath me. Then I figured, what the hell, they're probably never going to make another video, might as well watch all of them
"My Little Pony: The Movie" was actually the third movie. The first movie and pilot for the whole franchise was Rescue From Midnight Castle and was actually pretty good, and the G1 series it led into was also surprisingly watchable. MLP became the train wreck it was infamous for being when the G3 series started (especially G3.5.) The CCG is actually still going, and they are still releasing new sets for it.
This is quite true. Rescue From Midnight Castle was one of those 80s cartoons that wasn't afraid to be kinda dark, and I remember three-year-old me being scared half to death by the villain and the kinda demonic-looking dragon-things. It's definitely way more worth it to watch than the MLP theatrical release film. Heck, Escape From Catrina was a better "movie" (or, y'know, multi-part collection of episodes) than the theatrical release.
Do people forget it for little kids and not them like dang lol of course it not good I grew up with Dora and at one point hated it but not anymore.maybe it's nostalgia or I realized of course I'm not gonna like it because it's not meant for my age range lol
I love how a bunch of people watching season nine the 1st episode, when king sombra smashed the elements of harmony and everyone one was like: LUNA DID IT BETTER Edit: holy crap I forgot I commented this
@@Hi-ky2wd as far as I know season 9 can be found on Hulu if you want to watch it. IMO it wraps up the series nicely and links past, present, and future.
Dunno about elsewhere, but here in the UK, 'guys things' and 'girls things' are still very much a thing. It's not just kids bullying fans of stuff of the 'opposite gender', but parents do it to their kids too. It's quite horrible when you think of it. But I mean, heck, I watched Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and plenty of other stuff, and I'm a bloke =D

Why they stop FIM after 2019? Because each previous generations got replaced by the next each 10 years So they just wanna follows the "tradition" they made back at gen1 end
Plus, there isnt really much left to do. All the villains were turned to stone, or reformed. Twilight became a princess, yada yada you know? Not much left to do
@gacha court what next gen? The cmc? The new defenders of equestria? (Also known as the new mane 6?) itll be the same old same old. I think there should be new characters and new art style just like it has been with all the other my little pony gens
moist dad exactly. It’s been said that g5 will still have the main 6 but they’ll all be different as well as the plot and world they live in, so it won’t be the same old same old
I got in to this in Season 2 Final, through one song "This Day Aria" Heard it and was like 'OMG this sounds like Disney', so I broke down and watch till there and keeped going. Now I am a Pegasister
They reboot the show every decade or so. It's tradition. This was G4, next is G5. Perhaps the most ironic aspect of brony culture is that it was always just one small part of a moving cog.
Funny thing, I was actually ANNOYED into watching the show. I was trying to do homework and my older brother wouldn't leave me alone, so I caved and watched 4 episodes, and I've been hooked on this strange show for years.
I'm part of the fandom so, admittedly biased, but I'd have loved a deeper dive into all things MLP. It would have been cool to look at some of the mini-series./ spin-offs in the comics. The tabletop rpg is pretty awesome, they recently released an rpg expansion that's mostly standees and other tabletop aides which you would have probably have had a blast opening. I love the video and I love that you did one, but 15 minutes feels so insubstantial especially given that so much was focused at the early parts of the fandom and not very much on the show itself. I had no idea about those anime figures, if they're not absurdly expensive I may have to flag them down.
"Gender fluidity explains it all!" Aaaaaactually that's about as rare in the fandom as outside it. The harsh reality is that 4chan's cartoon-fan board got very interested in the show AFTER a feminist reviewer bashed it - before it ever came out - over Rainbow Dash being a "tomboy" (and therefore, allegedly, a "lesbian stereotype"). Most of the early "brony" fandom WAS from 4chan, and they made the memes and video mashups which got tons of other people watching the show. It snowballed from there.
It is ironic that the fandom of tolerance and acceptance came from 4chan tho. The cradle of the modern internet and one of the most hostile websites ever is a very awesome place to be! The history books should never forget 4chan.
I was following mlp: fim as an animator while the show was still in development. The real beginning of public interest in the show was back in 2009 with an article in the popular animation industry -focused website Cartoon Brew lamenting the “end of creator-driven cartoons.” Remember this was still the early aughts animation slump *before* Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Bojack Horseman, Rick and Morty, Steven Universe, etc. I was a fan of Lauren Faust, and also a fan of girly stuff, and so was exited to see her new show. After Faust left the show, and after any of the episodes were under her direct supervision, I lost interest in mlp. The canon was increasingly retconned, the established characters Flanderized, so most of the post-season 4 episodes don’t have that “magic” of the earlier ones. Which is a shame, because mlp used to be so fun and exiting, and being part of the fandom at that time was such a blast! I think one reason for the runaway popularity of the show was how unapologetically feminine it was. I think femininity in North American media is so rare, that it’s novel to see and makes a show stand out.
I feel so lucky I lived my teenage and early adult years in this decade... My Little Pony, Game of Thrones, Adventure Time, Savant and dubstep in general (+inspiring me to produce music of my own), whole decade building up to the Infinity War, even dumb League of Legends I no longer play, but played an integral part of making bonds with new friends... What a decade full of great things...
Oh my god I watched the 80s MLP movie as a kid (note: i was born in 2002) because they had it in my library and Honestly What the hell even happened in that movie???? Why did the pony almost commit suicide out of belief she could fly????? What was going on with the slime??????
That movie truly scarred me as a child. It made me not wanna watch mlp ever again. I only watched friendship is magic because my little sister loved it. Like omg the witches and the slimy things were so dn scary for a 5 year old child.
codestar official Growing up i played with this boy who had the most beat up baby doll in existence - named trex, stained with a 5 year olds love, and so on. Poor baby doll suffered from every malady known to man and more. The baby doll had rabies at one point. But at night he tucked the doll in their little crib before he went to sleep. The boy is in the military as a nurse now and has a wife and child. They plan on adopting when he finishes as they both want a large family.
This show has definitely changed my life. It helped me find the love of my life, helped my mental health and find my gender identity. And as much as I love this show, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the last 2 seasons. I would’ve been happy if it ended after the season 7 finale. But at the same time, we still had some pretty good episodes later on.
Go back a little further to the very first episode/movie Rescue At Midnight Castle. Megan first appears with the first gen ponies that leads to the Gen 1 cartoon; a very dark show indeed. MLP The Movie literally ties in the the tv season it was released with as the Witches and the Smooze appear in a 10-part story in that series.
Oh boi... I remember watching this and Transformers Prime with my sister, eventually we both stopped and now we both like Bakugan and Beyblade/Marvel & DC
Thing is guys were looking into magical girl anime around that time too. While he definitely used the wrong terminology, he isn't wrong in that men starting to not give a shit about what's considered masculine or not really helped push this thing.
That was my first exposure to MLP so I avoided FIM until season 4 was airing- watched the third season finale on TH-cam on accident- and I fell in love. But back to the point, the OG show scarred me as a child, I remember this episode where the ponies were lured to this candy castle and the more they ate the more drained their souls and bodies became so the second half of the episode was the ponies who avoided the sweets to try to restore their shrivelled and wrinkled friends to their original plump state. The OG Movie is pretty bad. I do love the Princess Promenade film though, mostly to compare the voices to their G4 characters.
@@lollypiness3359 jeez. I’ve honestly never sat down and watched the older generations mainly due to the shows nature. Gen 4 really does appeal to adults were as the older generations seemed very childish too me. But now knowing the story line I’m really glad I haven’t watched it. That sounds like it would terrify me now 😂
Has nothing to do with gender. For me, I was always a fan of musical theater, and their music guy, Daniel Ingram, is fantastic, and ALSO a fan of musical theater (you can tell from the songs.) Their inclusion of John DeLancie reprising his role as Q (let's be honest here, that's what Discord is) sealed the deal for me.
@@silverscreen842 To call the post season one music "catchy" doesn't really do it justice. The music is well-written, and so is the show. It usually follows a slice of life format, with its positive and humanistic themes being once again reminiscent of Star Trek: Next Gen, but when they write adventure, things can get pretty epic, from the shapeshifting succubus that stages a shakespearean coup on Canterlot, to feed its population to her brood, to the psychopathic cult leader who enacts a revenge scheme to "it's a wonderful life" the main characters to death, to the fight paying homage to DBZ with a soul sucking centaur powered by every horse on the damn planet.

Some rumor say Generation 5 who star in 2 years is goin to be more mature and is goin to be of nordic mithology with Ydrasill The world tree who conect all nordic world,and every pony race is separate in diferent world but somthing goin to hapend that will unite the new mane 6. If is Nordic mithology is posible some villans goin to be dragons like the world snake,or the giant dragon who is eating the tree in mithology,or Fenril the wolf or the other 2 wolf who eat the sun and moon if they put that in G5 the 2 wolfs are potential villans 😮
I hope they do their research if that's the case and avoid cringey pronunciations common to English...like "muh djolner" when speaking about Thor's hammer.

Actually, MLP being rebooted isn't surprising. They've been rebooting the franchise since the beginning after all, since his has been going for years it's natural they'd want to pull the plug at some point.
Gen 5 coming in 2020
At least this time its FiM but beginning again with a different style, instead of the full reset like it has been in previous reboots.
@mandellorian Hasbro probably doesn't have much choice but downsize a bit due to... The Last Jedi (guess which company Disney has licensed to make the toys).

“What’s with bronies making good music?”
OH MY GOD! that’s too true. And the fact that a lot of them blew up even further than just brony music after a while just blows my mind. So many incredible artists and creators in that fandom.
I like all kinds of music but i'd say that around 1/4 of the music i listen to is either brony music or music produced by a brony musician/former brony musician.
I know right!
Check out the sountrack of Them's Fight'n Herds for some really good stuff.
Good old Living Tombstone
have you even tried to get into a new fandom after MLP? I have not been an active brony for some time now but I could never find myself comfortably into another fandom since. Have you trired finding art, music or good fanfiction of other fandoms? I mean, there is the occasional thing or two, but I can't even list five fanfics outside the MLP fandom that I liked, while Fallout Equestria is still standing strong as my favourite book since I first read it and stories like Hard Reset are better than most published books I've read.
This level of quality and quantity of fan work is unique to the Ponies and that's why I love this fandom as much as I do.
The reason mlp is so good when compared to other children’s cartoons is because there’s actually a lot of lore and character development, it is for kids but the story can easily appeal to anyone. The only childish aspect to the story is honestly just the friendship morals

My Little Pony now has a fandom of adult men, while Transformers has a fandom of adult women
And Star Wars disrespected its original fandom, then disrespected the new fandom it was trying to build.
As someone who actually grew up with Transformers for a long time, I didn't know that there's a female fanbase.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 same
@@punbug4721 And at the top of that, the Fandom Menace is the worst kind of fanbase ever.
Transformers Prime was awesome! The writing was pretty good I think.
Two main reasons MLP: FiM became a hit outside the intended demographic.
1. And this is the most important part...it's a well-made show. The animation is good, The songwriting is very good. The dialogue is often very good. This was not just "mailing it in just to sell toys".
2. The show has a good message.
5. THE ponies and other Pony like creatures are good looking like they have Nice Designs and *Their Long flowing hair*
Lots of well made shows being sidelined or underestimated for being a “girl show” and other stupid crap so no, that’s not the reason. If you wanna know the actual reason it became popular among men, watch Jenny Nicholson’s video, it’s actually very interesting.
Ŷęp!
7. They go on interesting and creative adventures and the stories are unique.
I legit dont care all that much about the message and could probably do without all of those songs and friendship stuff.
Oddly enough if a girl likes cars, guns, sports, or anything considered “guy things” they’re praised for it since their “one of the dudes” but If a guy likes girl things they’re persecuted for it. Makes no sense
Yeah things like that are actual issues of internalized misogyny still in society compared to stupid shit like 'MANWHICH'
I like sonic and people laughed
MATE YOU HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE HOW MANY TIMES IVE SAID THAT
Ya, saying a girl is "one of the guys" isn't a compliment.
Honestly women also get shit for enjoying feminine things like chick flicks, not "natural" make-up etc. Not as much as guys ofc, but I always found it stupid.

Because they don't realize that, all they see is what Twilight was hypnotized into believing, namely that Starlight was only bad because a childhood friend left her once, which would seem a little contrived if it were true.

As for the original My Little Pony... you maybe had to be 8 yrs old to fall in love with it. I did. I was excited every day when it came on. It was MY show. Going to to the toy store with my sister to select and buy my very own My Little Pony was a huge fun event. It was the very first time I ever "collected" anything. I don't know, but it was a big deal, quality of the show aside. I loved the creative color combination and different symbols on the pony itself, loved the smell of a fresh pony right out of the plastic. Each pony had its own personality in my collection. I played with them. I bathed with them. They were marked on, they were loved to death. Again, I think you had to be 8. But I grew up, and hey, I still love those dang ponies! Seeing them fills me with heart rending nostalgia and memories of times with my big sister. Hope this helps explain it. ~ An 80's girl/old lady now

I am a little disappointed that MLP: FiM isn't going _at least_ have a 10th season. Something is satisfying to me when it reaches the ten-year mark. 😌
Currently, the second half of MLP: FiM's 9th and Final season is going right now, Saturday mornings for me. I think it's like 10 more episodes left. Just FYI to you all.
...And I _would_ probably rate and give my opinion on the story-telling/writing, but after watching other peoples' video essays on other stuff and being aware of the hype yet other shows get, even _years_ later, I don't know if I can trust my opinion anymore, so I won't try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So being as general and vague as possible ('cuz I'm dumb), I like the 2nd generation of "mane 6" in the form of the new students in Twilight's new friendship school. And each student being from most of the different species of characters we've met through the series. Why? I just do. (I hope that's ok.) ☺️😌
Everything that last a while only has 8 seasons. After that it begins to fail...
Looks at Walking Dead.
Good. It should end and go back to when they looked like HORSES.
Supposedly the comic series is going to be the 10th season. It will continue the story picking up right after the events of season 9. Plus there's that one special that was set after the events of season 9 so I guess we can throw that in too? Sadly the comic series won't start coming out until April. I guess we can hope the comic version of season 10 gets fan animations?

Come now, what's wrong with men watching this? My brothers and I watched this, Barbie and Anime that was supposed to be 'girly'. lol. My favorite in MLP are Discord and Applejack. Though I kind of disagree with the School of friendship cause its kind of contradicted what Celestia said before.

But i liked the young 6
I guess it can come off as "creepy" not because it's feminine and stuff but because it's for children and it has such a crazy fandom. It's like if many grown men were obsessed with popoyo to the point where they make fanart of him killing/making out with other characters when it is a show for little kids, it can be very strange. Especially men that want to come off as edgy so they make fanart of ponies dripped in blood, sometimes they can forget little girls will probably look up these things , like "My little pony fanart" and find this sort of things. Trust me, I was a very hardcore my little pony fan when I was a little girl and I stumbled into a music video where a pony gave birth to child and the dad killed it. I thought it'd be a fun music video. But I'm not saying you're this kind of person this is just the stigma people have around it, but if you like it by all means enjoy it. I don't think Barbie is considered that bad, to my knoledge its fanbase is more tame and anime.....anime is and always will be....anime so it's understandable why people wouldn't be too altered.
Those are also my favorite characters, you have good taste

Wasn't it Internet Rule 19 that said, "The more you hate it, the stronger it becomes?"
@CatandBonez True, but those also ended up being the people that left during the later years, allowing a more consistently nice fanbase to develop. I agree that early bronies were kind of cancerous, but for a fandom born of a place like 4chan, I tend to take that in it's own merit. Gotta remember, there were als the media, trolls/anti-bronies, and people who legitimately lambasted most of the early fans to a point where they had to be defensive.

Funny, I was borderline outcasted from my usual group of friends in senior year of high school for not watching MLP. It wasn't even for the "it's a show for little girls" reasoning, but more so because... it just wasn't my cup of tea. The four or so episodes I had watched were indeed enjoyable, just not something I'd go out of my way to watch more of.
Bronies at the end of the day: are still people. And anyone who has read anything can tell you people are the source of their own problems.
Great video, 11-out-of-12

As a 19 year old girl I use to love watching this show when I was younger but stopped when I entered my last year of middle school because I was embarrassed. I ended up moving on to other shows appropriate for my age but I alway find myself going back to the show because I loved it so much. Now because of COVID and running out of shows to watch I went back to watching the ones I used to watch in my childhood.

The thing though is, the MLP fandom is still thriving to this day, I grew up on this show and still re-watch the episodes from time to time. I have a discord server where we talk about MLP theories. It’s one of the only shows touched on so much like it’s real. I will always be apart of the fandom, just because BronyCon and FiM is over, doesn’t mean the entire MLP universe is. They’re continuing to make movies and shows. I’m excited to see what the future holds for MLP.
OMG your pfp, I love Harry and MLP so much ❤️
I never thought it was an act of defiance to watch/buy MLP merchandise, I just liked the show and characters. I support things I like with money.
I think the end of any series sparks more merch sales as it's usually the end of good merch and after the end the merch they produce is either cheaper reproductions of older stuff or its lower quality crap they churn out to keep the money stream up. The best stuff is usually made in the middle or towards the end of a series. Not jsut that but the end of a series grabs peoples attention. I doubt it had anything to do with "defiance" too
Yeah, that mostly applied to the hipster crowd from back in the day, most other people actually started watching the show for genuine interest.

2:53 "It also appealed to adult MEN"
* like it was supposed to.
Target audience was for children AND THEIR PARENTS. Yeah, believe it or not, a show with plenty of appeal to people ranging in ages 7-23 were liked by people... in ranges 7-23.
But 13-23 are not kids and not usually parents (and if they are the kids are likely too young to understand). So that age group, which ended up being the primary audience, was not the intended audience.
@@mnpinky8669 They still fall within the same age range, and what appeals to someone in their early 20s is going to overlap with those in their teens.
There isn't just one year where you "suddenly" don't care about cartoons or comic books, ask all the millions of fans of anime in their 30s, or comic enthusiasts, or yourself when you watch Steven Universe/Star Vs The Forces of Evil/Young Justice/or any of the other dozens of cartoon properties people _still_ _like_ even though they're bordering on adults.
Theres nothing wrong with it
It's a show like SpongeBob, it can appeal to anyone.
The thing is, the show was meant to be _tolerable_ for parents watching the show with their children, but it wasn't supposed to make them _fans_ of the show like it ended up doing. It also wasn't targeted towards them exactly either, nor was it targeted towards males between 13 and 25, which is why it was so unexpected.
“How do Bronies make such good music?!”
Me: Is it Lullaby for a Princess or Discord?
“I’m not a fan of puppeteers, but I’ve a nagging fear-“
Me: Neat.
I remember when My Little Pony first came out, I was one of many that was dumbfounded by its popularity, and like so many others I was quick to scoff at both the show and its fans.
It wasn’t until a few months ago of that I actually saw some footage of the show and was surprised by how good the animation and voice acting was.
I watched some episodes out of curiosity, and well, the rest is history. I have loved this show and every moment of it. It’s funny, imaginative, full of adventure, and it does a fantastic job with character development and exploring the complexities of interpersonal relationships. There were so many episodes that hit close to home, and I applaud the writers for coming up with realistic scenarios that we all have at one point been through.
It’s a shame the show is coming to an end, but I’m glad I was able still get into it even if it’s not as popular as it was a few years ago.
As for why it became popular, I’m not discounting your theory, I just think there’s more to it. This show came out in the wake of cynical times (both economic and political), and at the end of the day I think people wanted to watch something optimistic and uplifting to take their mind off of things. Plus, if you create something that ends up transcending your target demographic, then you’ve created something special, and it should be celebrated, not mocked.
Sorry for the long rant, it’s just that this was the last show I expected to have such long and lasting impression on me.
What was the footage that got you into it?
I started watching when Season 1 was in full swing/ended back sometime in 2012, and I went into it, even as a gay, musical-loving nerd, expecting childish rubbish, and I even made jokes during the "storybook" segment because of how low my expectations were for MLP, but as the episode went on I realised that it was actually a pretty charming show full of potential, and it really felt like someone looked at the more childish nature of the show up to that point and went "hey, let's not try that. how about we actually make the characters and plots a little more adult friendly and relevant to modern audiences".
@@EuroMIX2 I'm subscribed to this channel that parodies shows and cartoons (splicing up footage and mixing up audio to create their own storylines). The channel unfortunately has been dead for three years now, and the only videos I never watched were his/her My Little Pony videos just because at the time I felt the show was beneath me. Then I figured, what the hell, they're probably never going to make another video, might as well watch all of them
Dude I’ve been a fan since day one and I love the fact that you understand how most of us feel about it ending🥺😂
"My Little Pony: The Movie" was actually the third movie. The first movie and pilot for the whole franchise was Rescue From Midnight Castle and was actually pretty good, and the G1 series it led into was also surprisingly watchable. MLP became the train wreck it was infamous for being when the G3 series started (especially G3.5.)
The CCG is actually still going, and they are still releasing new sets for it.
This is quite true. Rescue From Midnight Castle was one of those 80s cartoons that wasn't afraid to be kinda dark, and I remember three-year-old me being scared half to death by the villain and the kinda demonic-looking dragon-things. It's definitely way more worth it to watch than the MLP theatrical release film. Heck, Escape From Catrina was a better "movie" (or, y'know, multi-part collection of episodes) than the theatrical release.
i love you
Do people forget it for little kids and not them like dang lol of course it not good I grew up with Dora and at one point hated it but not anymore.maybe it's nostalgia or I realized of course I'm not gonna like it because it's not meant for my age range lol

I grew out of this show years ago but I'm still sad it ended.
For a kids show, it was pretty damn awesome.
They reboot the show every decade or so. It's tradition. This was G4, next is G5.
Perhaps the most ironic aspect of brony culture is that it was always just one small part of a moving cog.
g5 is going to be darker
G5 is “A New Generation” with new MLP characters, and the G4 characters will never return.
Funny thing, I was actually ANNOYED into watching the show. I was trying to do homework and my older brother wouldn't leave me alone, so I caved and watched 4 episodes, and I've been hooked on this strange show for years.

Gravity Falls fans: *Well yes, but actually no*
I'm part of the fandom so, admittedly biased, but I'd have loved a deeper dive into all things MLP. It would have been cool to look at some of the mini-series./ spin-offs in the comics. The tabletop rpg is pretty awesome, they recently released an rpg expansion that's mostly standees and other tabletop aides which you would have probably have had a blast opening. I love the video and I love that you did one, but 15 minutes feels so insubstantial especially given that so much was focused at the early parts of the fandom and not very much on the show itself. I had no idea about those anime figures, if they're not absurdly expensive I may have to flag them down.
The maker is Kotobukiya, and they're about as expensive as those Kingdom Hearts figures that you can order off of Square Enix's website
"Gender fluidity explains it all!" Aaaaaactually that's about as rare in the fandom as outside it. The harsh reality is that 4chan's cartoon-fan board got very interested in the show AFTER a feminist reviewer bashed it - before it ever came out - over Rainbow Dash being a "tomboy" (and therefore, allegedly, a "lesbian stereotype"). Most of the early "brony" fandom WAS from 4chan, and they made the memes and video mashups which got tons of other people watching the show. It snowballed from there.
It is ironic that the fandom of tolerance and acceptance came from 4chan tho. The cradle of the modern internet and one of the most hostile websites ever is a very awesome place to be! The history books should never forget 4chan.
The "Aaaaaactually" makes me think you're Adam Conover-
I was following mlp: fim as an animator while the show was still in development.
The real beginning of public interest in the show was back in 2009 with an article in the popular animation industry -focused website Cartoon Brew lamenting the “end of creator-driven cartoons.” Remember this was still the early aughts animation slump *before* Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Bojack Horseman, Rick and Morty, Steven Universe, etc.
I was a fan of Lauren Faust, and also a fan of girly stuff, and so was exited to see her new show. After Faust left the show, and after any of the episodes were under her direct supervision, I lost interest in mlp. The canon was increasingly retconned, the established characters Flanderized, so most of the post-season 4 episodes don’t have that “magic” of the earlier ones. Which is a shame, because mlp used to be so fun and exiting, and being part of the fandom at that time was such a blast!
I think one reason for the runaway popularity of the show was how unapologetically feminine it was. I think femininity in North American media is so rare, that it’s novel to see and makes a show stand out.
is she your role model and a hero
I feel so lucky I lived my teenage and early adult years in this decade...
My Little Pony, Game of Thrones, Adventure Time, Savant and dubstep in general (+inspiring me to produce music of my own), whole decade building up to the Infinity War, even dumb League of Legends I no longer play, but played an integral part of making bonds with new friends... What a decade full of great things...

This show has definitely changed my life. It helped me find the love of my life, helped my mental health and find my gender identity.
And as much as I love this show, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the last 2 seasons.
I would’ve been happy if it ended after the season 7 finale. But at the same time, we still had some pretty good episodes later on.
Go back a little further to the very first episode/movie Rescue At Midnight Castle. Megan first appears with the first gen ponies that leads to the Gen 1 cartoon; a very dark show indeed.
MLP The Movie literally ties in the the tv season it was released with as the Witches and the Smooze appear in a 10-part story in that series.

That was my first exposure to MLP so I avoided FIM until season 4 was airing- watched the third season finale on TH-cam on accident- and I fell in love. But back to the point, the OG show scarred me as a child, I remember this episode where the ponies were lured to this candy castle and the more they ate the more drained their souls and bodies became so the second half of the episode was the ponies who avoided the sweets to try to restore their shrivelled and wrinkled friends to their original plump state. The OG Movie is pretty bad. I do love the Princess Promenade film though, mostly to compare the voices to their G4 characters.
@@lollypiness3359 jeez. I’ve honestly never sat down and watched the older generations mainly due to the shows nature.

Has nothing to do with gender. For me, I was always a fan of musical theater, and their music guy, Daniel Ingram, is fantastic, and ALSO a fan of musical theater (you can tell from the songs.)
Their inclusion of John DeLancie reprising his role as Q (let's be honest here, that's what Discord is) sealed the deal for me.
It has good characters and catchy music. That's it.
@@silverscreen842 To call the post season one music "catchy" doesn't really do it justice. The music is well-written, and so is the show. It usually follows a slice of life format, with its positive and humanistic themes being once again reminiscent of Star Trek: Next Gen, but when they write adventure, things can get pretty epic, from the shapeshifting succubus that stages a shakespearean coup on Canterlot, to feed its population to her brood, to the psychopathic cult leader who enacts a revenge scheme to "it's a wonderful life" the main characters to death, to the fight paying homage to DBZ with a soul sucking centaur powered by every horse on the damn planet.
