Talk:My Little Pony Friendship is Magic/@comment-26973802-20130731035400

My Little Pony began as one of the very few TV cartoons in the 1980s to kill characters (Tirek and Lavan). That would all be forgotten when G2 and G3 turned it into a little girl show with a reputation so powerful that only one person believed it could ever be anything else. And when she got involved, we all know what happened then. It became a show unlike any other, with character development, moral outlook, humor, animation, and references that even G1 didn't have. (atleast I think, I only saw the Tirek and Lavan episodes)

And they're starting to acknowledge the fandom more on their products. (Page 248 of the Elements of Harmony book)
