Comment on Ok. Which one of you has been annoying the teacher?
Pandantic@midwest.social 5 months agoThanks, maybe I’ll give it a try. I jumped on the brony bandwagon years ago (though I’ve let that go now) so I’m keen to give the new things a fair shot.

I actually was a Brony as well for a bit. Funnily enough, I got into it basically the same way: saw the memes, wanted to see what the hype was about, found it surprisingly enjoyable.
I’ve since tried to go back and re-watch FiM (I stopped sometime after the release of the movie) but found my tastes had changed and it was a bit too saccharine for me. The same thing happened when I went to re-watch ATLA, despite having enjoyed it as a kid during its broadcast run.

Same. I still like the characters and the personalities the fandom built around them, but the show hits different now. That’s why I like shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe because they already had a more “mature kid” kind of spin, less black and white morality, even though they still tended to make enemies friends in the end.

The most recent animation I’ve watched is Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. I love the setting, and of course how raunchy it is. Definitely not for kids though.
