The show itself is probably of limited interest to most... there are definitely much more sophisticated cartoons with greater general appeal to older audiences. I just got into it watching it with my little cousin as something we could bond over, and I came to admire the approach it took in creating the concepts and characters.

It also for whatever odd reason just became a focal point for all sorts of creative people online. A lot of older fans treat it like Kurt Busiek treated simplistic 60's comics with Marvels and Astro City… taking the challenge of finding an angle to it that stays true to the source and yet adds some complexity.

In general though, I just met a lot of nice people online who just figured this was as good as anything to have some fun with and bond over.




Yeah, the MLP stuff I do gets posted here.
