Thanks, 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.
