==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.
 
I'm crappy at explaining things, so please do bare with me.
 
===When I think Pony is at its best===
I think the ''My Little Pony'' franchise is at its best when it's portraying a surprisingly realistic sense of comrade among a group of people. Generation 1 had this to an extent, mostly with Megan and her friends, but this was done best in Generation 4. The dynamic between a massive cast of characters is handed incredibly well. There's a lot of whimsy and magic involved, but the core concept of just ''people'' hanging around each other is still executed very well. These characters really do feel like real individuals; they have jobs, families, goals and aspirations not necessarily connected to their friends, love-lives, school-lives, you name it. It feels like we follow the day in lives of these characters, rather than just short, cute stories, but those still have their places.
 
I also love how the series can balance this ''realness'' with some great fantasy and adventure. We get these great character dynamics, and cool dragons! And sometimes, the dragons feel just as real as everyone else.
===Cartoons===
* ''[[My Little Pony 'n Friends]]:'' This is honestly a really fun show! The biggest appeal fof 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 talentednotable people tooinvolved, 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!
