I am not in any way part of the Pony fandom, so forgive any ignorance. I watched the older show when I was younger and now have the DVDs, and have seen the new show, so that's all I'm basing my thoughts off of.

And with that disclaimer: wha???

Who could think the old show is girlier than the new one? The old show had fights and peril and epic adventures. Ponies got kidnapped. There were demons and gremlins and monster dragons and schmooze.

I watched the new show, and it's nice, but it's very....fluffy? It appears to mostly be about cute ponies doing cute pony things and learning cute life lessons. Of the two, the new show is FAR more stereotypically "girlie" -- or, at least, what I'd assume straight men consider girlie.

I think I'll get into the new show more if they introduce that element of peril. That's what I really loved about MLP when I was a kid. I didn't feel like it was talking down to me. There were real life or death situations presented in it, and as a kid, I felt really invested in that.

Gotta agree. The old show used to scare me sometimes when I was little XD
I'd be happy with some more danger in FiM as well.

Agreed, I watched the FiM pilot episodes after hearing all the hype and thought OK I could get into this. Then the rest of the episodes I tried to watch were... I don't even know. They were funny, and cute I'll give them that, but when I was a kid ponies went on adventures, and got in and out of actual danger. I really miss the days when little girls were allowed to go out and face the bad guy just as much as little boys were.
