From what I heared, My Little Pony creators are making it so I fear it wont be good.
I'll be honest, OCG.
I'm very critic with cartoons, but people know me here for something in particular: I'm not nostalgic. At all. So I could dare to say that, a current show like Adventure Time, is a lot more interesting than a show like Cow & Chicken, which was one of my favourite shows during my childhood.
I appreciate the new Pac-Man because it shows an interesting world, with interesting character design, bright visuals and pretty decent characters. It's the cheesyness of the show that stops it from being great. I don't give a shit about your old Pac-Man, because to be honest, he was boring and made awkward sex jokes that didn't work.
Back to MLP, I don't care if the dang thing is for little girls. Neither do I consider myself as part of the fanbase, but one thing is for sure:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is pretty DARN good for what it was supposed to be.
It turned a corny, simple story for little baby girls:
Into a pretty well animated and drawn story, with fun slapstick, likeable characters and clever situations, that little girls will probably remember forever:
And yeah, maybe it's not the best cartoon out there. But look at what it achieved. It's supposed to be a show for dumb little girls that could watch anything that is bright and coloured, I don't know, Dragon Tales or some shit like that. The dang thing should not be overthought, but yet the animators actually put their effort and heart on it.
The fanbase sucks. Like almost every fanbase. But just because the Sonic fanbase sucks doesn't mean that Sonic Colors sucks, or does it?
I'd be happy if the team that made Friendship is Magic made a Sonic cartoon. They're clever, they evolved a drooling franchise of toys into something relevant again. And here's a reminder: Just because they made a franchise with flowers and colorful ponies, doesn't mean that they're gonna still do stuff like that.
Take a look at Genndy Tartakovsky's first project for Cartoon Network:
Take a look at his second project:
A truly dedicated cartoonist knows how to deal with the settings and the tone of his cartoons.
