==Opinions and stuff==

I generally like everything in the My Little Pony franchise, every major thing at least. There are some stinkers, but ultimately I like the whole series.

===When I think Pony is at its best===

===Cartoons===

* ''[[My Little Pony 'n Friends]]:'' This is honestly a really fun show! The biggest appeal f it is you never really know what's going to happen next. There's almost no continuity and each episode is purely self-contained, which makes for fun episodes if you just want to kick back and enjoy the insanity of 80s cartoons. Surprisingly has a ton of talented people too, like Nancy Cartwright and some writers for freakin ''Disney'' films.

* ''[[My Little Pony Tales]]:'' Not as good as ''n friends'', but far from a bad show. It gets '''far''' to much hate because ("because" looks like a bed when spelt) certain cartoon reviewers on YT said it was bad, but it's really not. Like ''n friends'', it has a great episodic nature with each episode being far removed from the last; yet it also has a decent amount of continuity for a mid 90s kids show. What makes the show great in my eyes are the characters, they're all surprisingly fleshed out, rounded and well-defined, each ith their own detailed personal lives and personal drama, which isn't to disimilar to ''Friendship is Magic''.

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]:'' By '''far''' the longest running ''Pony'' show and generally considered the best. With 9 seasons, I cant really sum this up in a single paragraph, so I wont!

* '''[[My Little Pony: Pony Life]]:'' I feel like a lot of people forget ''Pony'' has ''always'' been chasing trends, so they really shouldn't be shocked with the aesthetics of ''Pony Life''. In my opinion? It's cute! Like how ''Pony'' should be.

===Comic books===

* ''[[My Little Pony Comic]]:'' Shares the same charm as ''n Friends'', but nowhere near as much. It has its own mythology going on with recurring characters not in the cartoon and the behind-the-scenes of it is pretty neat. I ''love'' all the cute little British terms like how it describes the ponies as getting "crossed" all the time and it has a sweet gentleness that is weirdly lacking from a lot of ''Pony'' material.

* [[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (comic book)|''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' (comic book)]]:'' With over 80 issues, I can't really give this a proper opinion since the quality varies so much. At its peak - which I believe sadly happened rather early in its run - It's way more fun than the cartoons, but lacks the same level of sentimentality, with some exceptions ({{C|FIM|40}}) but at rock bottom? It can be downright mean-spirited and angry, which ''Pony'' should never do.

* ''[[My Little Pony: Micro-Series]]:'' Cute fun! That's the best way I can describe ''Micro-Series'', each issue is a one-off character piece that generally either dives into a personality trait of a character that isn't as established as their other traits, like Fluttershy's artistic side, Spike's gentle, brotherly nature or Celestia's judge of character. Some issues dive straight into the sentimental side of Pony, while others are content with just being fun, one-off adventures. Theirs not really a single bad issue, and I can't think of a "low point" in this series, it's all really good!

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friends Forever]]:'' Like Micro-Series, this series is a lot of cute fun! It's a lot more sentimental as it focuses on the dynamics of multiple characters, sometimes duos we've grown to love already, but haven't seen as much, and sometimes characters with no real prior interactions. I wish we got more out of it, however, I feel like a better character study on characters like Snips and Snails would've nice, and a less mean-spirited issue on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon would've also been cool. I think my favorite issue was Zecora and Spike, since it touched upon Spike's insecurities, while also establishing a new side of Zecora's character that totally works with what we know of her.
