    I had no idea about this show until I had a bad autism day and was desperately searching for a "brain numbing" cartoon to take the edge off my oversensory. Pony Life popped up like a life preserver and sent me drifting down the river to calm. It was goofy, pointless and wholesome. It's become a fast favourite for me and my flatmate on bad days to just sit and relax and turn off our brain with. We love the stupid jokes and bright colours. It really does help take your mind off reality.

      @@limeyell0w945 For me personally a bad day with my autism involves oversensory, which for me includes extreme sensitivity to touch, sound and light or colour. Having certains fabrics touch my body feels like needles stabbing my skin, certain sounds or loud audio can be like nails on a chalkboard and too bright of lights or even vibrations can send me into multiple panic attacks or what my friend calls "autism gremlin" where my brain kind of shuts down and I become unresponsive for hours unless I'm crying or screeching during the painful stage. For me it can last from an hour to a full day. Those are usually my bad days and thankfully don't occur as much now that I'm older and have learned coping tricks to speed up recovery. Cartoons, darkness and quiet is often a lifesaver. Other times the squeaky voices and bright colours are not lol

    professional published media critic here: imo, critique should focus on what the show is trying to do. this show is trying to be goofy and entertain, so going light on it makes sense. it is accomplishing its goals, and it seems to be doing them well! a show that takes itself REALLY seriously is going to have, usually, more opportunity to fail at what it's trying to do. when i see people saying something is bad because it doesn't do what THEY want it to do, like... that's a problem with the critic, not the art.

      Completely agreed, wil. Just like you, I always judge and review a show according to it's tone (fun and relaxed, or serious). It's really not fair to harshly beat down and criticise a piece of work, whether it is a kid's cartoon, family movie or whatnot, that is only trying to be fun and entertaining; for instance.
      The one thing I hate about many present-day UA-cam/Internet movie/cartoon critics is that they rate and hold up these fun animated media to such a high standard, as if they were an Emmy-award winning live action drama series; which often leads to extremely hateful, ignorant, biased and negative videos/blogs on said media.
      What you said perfectly describes how every media critic should act when it comes to family, children's media, for example. Thank you for saying this.

    Cutie Marks definitely tied more into talent and passion. Its like when an artists first learns that they're good at art, or when a track star finds out they're good at running. It's why personally, the cutie mark crusaders never made a whole ton of sense to me, cause all three did have clear individual talents and passions, (Scootaloo with her Scotter, Sweety Bell with baking, and Applebloom was essentially the same as applejack) and yet still never got theirs. I think that's where the whole destiny got mixed in and confused people.

    Deep MLP lore time: Pony Life is actually a canon, alternate timeline to Friendship is Magic.
    In the third volume of the MLP manga, which is set after the events of the final episode, Discord sets up a scavenger hunt where he sends the Elements of Harmony (from before when the Mane 6 found them) to different dimensions and sends the future Mane 6 back in time to find the elements and restore the timeline back to normal. They succeed, but they end up turning into their Pony Life counterparts.
    Anyway, read the MLP manga, it's super cute and a lot of fun.

    I definitely wouldn't discount this theory. As a pony fan from the 90s - in secret because my mom was NOT about to let her son have anything girl coded lol - I NEVER saw MLP reach an audience like FIM did and it was in that wave of adult men kind've commandeering these child aimed fandom spaces and making them a bit precarious for those audiences. I didn't even share MLP as an interest with my niece that it was intended for because I was genuinely paranoid she would run into some sort of untagged adult fan material or interact with adult men who couldn't behave themselves in a respectful way when talking to/interacting with kids and that maybe becoming a problem in our own relationship.
    I'm not saying this show was made specifically to piss off and scare away those older adult male fans who would scoff at it BUT 'pony life' is the exact kind of show she would have liked as a young child and arguably closer to a meme meets older generation cartoon style in being generally lighter and episodic.

    I don't really know if your theory at 10:43 makes sense entirely cuz if they want to cleanse the fan base of older fans, why make a movie that was honestly pretty good with so many questions left at the end so we know that there will be more to come back to later on to get the answers to those questions.
    What happened to Twilight and the other alicorns since they're presumed to be immortal? Are they in hiding? Were they defeated by some villain? If so, was that the same villain that caused all of ponykind to hate the other races? If it was done on purpose, what was the point? Because it didn't seem like Equestria was attacked after being weakened in that way like seen in the Gen 4 finale. If it wasn't done on purpose, how were all the races divided that way to begin with? Why are we just hearing about these crystals now? Did ponies not know of their existence back in Gen 4? What happened to Discord? And WHAT. HAPPENED. TO THE WINDIGOS?! Because according to Gen 4 with the way all three pony races were split up, they should all be dead! (I have a lot of questions personally 😅)
    Anyways, with questions like those left unanswered, I find it hard to believe that genuine fans would completely abandon the franchise because of spin-off like Pony Life or Tell Your Tale. Ik I ignored pony life but still looked into the Gen 5 stuff so I imagine other people would do the same. And one last thing: I understand that it might he hard to cater to such a vastly different kind of demographic than what was originally planned along side with the originally planned demographic of children, but why try to actively get rid of them? They're still willing to give them money at the end of the day.

    There's some great stuff going on with independent publishers basically being middlemen for authors. Some books like Dowry of Blood or The Atlas Six are getting super popular (Even if the books are kinda shit in some cases) but these indie publishers basically get to sell off the publishing rights to the Big Five Publishers and can turn around and use that money to pay their former authors a big bonus for being good at writing and also bank a massive royalty check that'll help build their business creating more publishers in the space.
    At the same time the big publisters are also crumbling internally as the junior editors are doing the work of senior editors and all of their senior editors are being fired or retiring losing years of publishing experience that isn't being taught to these burnt out junior editors. By the end of the decade we could see a complete collapse in the publishing industry as it's been for at least the last seventy years because it's too old and impossible to change. They can't predict trends because they're used to being the only way something can get popular. The taste makers are crumbling and a bunch of tweens with bad taste in literature are circumventing the whole process. It's great, honestly. They should all burn for that price fixing scheme they had going with Amazon.

    I'm sure there's dozens of comments on this but here's one more: Yeah, we're getting a "main" CGI series on Netflix in September. Make Your Mark. There's a Make Your Mark pilot/special out right now! Also, you MIGHT want to also check out the G5 IDW comics, or at least look into spoilers, they might surprise you.
    G5 is WAY more complicated and splintered right at the start than G4 was. I'm not even sure if the CGI Movies will be the "actual" "main" part of this franchise or not. Is this going to be like the Trolls franchise? I don't know.
    I DO think I personally like Tell Your Tale the G5 UA-cam show better than Pony life, though. It...just feels more comfortable in this 5 minute format. Pony Life might be more ambitious in some ways, but it's straining against the 5-minute time limit. It uses multi-parters and overarching stories as a bit of a crutch.
    BUT, Pony Life is a little surprising. It has story arcs. There's something of a overarching plot, especially in Season 2. It's SLIGHTLY more thought-out than it looks. It's biggest sin is...I don't think it's that funny.
    Oh, and the special powers the Mane 6 only have in this show are called "Adorabilities". I think that only came up in a interview or something.

    Stupid Theory I Made For Fun + I Haven't Even Watched The Series:
    Pony Life takes place at the same time as Generation 5. Generation 5 takes place centuries and centuries after the original series, but the movie (I haven't watched the show) doesn't mention a lot of elements that should supposedly still be around. Stuff like the various other races that made peaceful relations with the ponies, or the statue of the three villains from the finale. The biggest one for me probably being Discord. The timeless being of chaos who should be alive hundreds of years later.
    Well you see, Discord is co-dependent on Fluttershy who needs her friends to function properly. So, instead of letting all his friends (mainly Fluttershy) die, he would seal them in a timeless dimension, probably the one in which he lives in. Now the ponies can live nice mundane lives that will keep Discord satisfied and happy.
    Any pony outside the main characters who appear? Easy, Discord brings them back from the dead. Discord has the motivation, willpower and actual power to do this. He needs his friendship with the others, he depends on it, it's the only thing keeping him a good person. He has no qualms over doing morally incorrect things if he believes it's for a good reason (example being the series finale). And he has each power he needs. He can make the world function on different rules, he has his own pocket dimension, he has been shown to mind control ponies before, he even brought a pony back from the dead once. Even stuff like de-aging them, while not a power he has shown, was established to be Alicorn-level magic, and he certainly has Alicorn-level magic.
    The only thing I'm unsure about are the Original Characters. I don't think Discord can create sentient life like that. However, he could be acting as the Original Characters. Pretending to be them to spice up the plot a bit, he has been shown to be able to duplicate himself, as well as shapeshift into ponies. So he could be pretending to be all the Original Characters in the series as well.
    We know this happens during the same time period as Generation 5 because while Generation 4 didn't have modern technology, Generation 5 certainly does. One of the main characters is a social media star!! Which means Discord has been updating his time loop bubble of friendship with the times, as to give them more variety. So they could essentially be his own personal never-ending friend group.

    i feel like fans' tolerability based on favorite character from best to most annoying goes like: applejack, rarity, fluttershy, twilight, pinkie pie, rainbow dash. as ive gotten older me and my fiance have kinda realised that rarity and applejack are the most tolerable and enjoyable to watch for us as adults whereas they were not as likeable when we were kids. also rainbow dash is a little unbearable and the default favorite for like a lot of the annoying Brony bronies

    I'm with you, I knew the g5 show wasn't going to look NEARLY as good as the movie did, but... I wasn't expecting the difference to be THAT drastic. I'll take g5 looking like Pony Life over the actual chosen art style. What works for one show won't necessarily work for another. I think the Steven Universe/Gravity Falls type of art style only works when most of the characters are humanoid. Those faces just don't work on ponies.

    You should check out huntik! It used to be on Netflix but was removed I think it might be on UA-cam. It’s similar to pokemon with having creatures that can fight for you but in this show it’s more of a fighting alongside their “owners.” It’s about a kid who’s dad vanished and he is suddenly exposed to the world of huntik to look for his dad.
    It’s genuinely a super enjoyable show and has a devastating twist for our main gang

    One day, my parents and I were eating dinner together and watching Star Trek Discovery. We enjoyed the episode. Then, my dad suggested we check out the first episode of Pony Life. It was SO MUCH BRIGHTER and SO MUCH MORE SATURATED than the dark grays and blues of Discovery that my eyes hurt from the shock. Other than that, it was a fun episode. I'm not a fan of Pinkie Pie exploding because I find it kind of disturbing and dumb (so I'm like... the opposite of inflation people lol), but otherwise it was fine. I wasn't really pulled in, though, and I don't think my parents were either.

    I knew about Pony Life When it was coming on. Some fans were upset that My Little Pony was being given the Teen Titans treatment. That was another critically acclaimed series that ended suddenly and was replaced with a zany counterpart. The biggest difference between the two shows is that My Little pony actually ended conclusively while Teen Titans fans were robbed of everything their show was building up to.
