nefaria linked to the pilot of “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic,” I assumed it was one of those cutesy things with which he had a love-hate relationship, like the Schnuffel Bunny. I was impressed at the differences from what little I’d seen and remembered of the ‘80s TV series, but I expected not to see or hear more about the new show. Then a comic forum with a prominent unicorn avatar known as White Pony called attention to it. Fair enough. But now I can name at least nine adult male Web cartoonists and many adult male non-cartoonists who enjoy it regularly and un-ironically. For this reason, I have watched about half the 20 episodes in existence and am not ashamed to admit it.
( No spoilers, just length )
So yeah, I’ll stick with it for the time being. Just don’t expect me to buy any of the merchandise.
