Fiction? I never called it fiction. I believe with all my heart that Equestria is real. The Simpsons is real, too, but we aren't ready for that conversation yet.

does it count if i don't consider friendship is magic itself to be the greatest cartoon of all time, but do consider a fanfic for it to be the greatest piece of fiction of all time?

Like I've read a lot of haters on the show or fandom saying that as we like it so much we think is the best of all and we don't enjoy other media at all. Wanted to see how is true at least on this forum/website/image board.

>"You put this show on a pedestal as is the best cartoon or even piece of fiction ever"
AISlop Analysis:
>The quote, "You put this show on a pedestal as is the best cartoon or even piece of fiction ever," is from a review of the animated series, The Boondocks. The reviewer was expressing extreme praise for the show, using the phrase to describe how the show was placed on a very high and idealized level by the critic. This particular phrase was part of a larger article reviewing the show's final season on a popular review site.
>What it means: The reviewer is using hyperbole to emphasize the high regard they have for the show. The phrase "put on a pedestal" means to view something as perfect or exceptionally good, and "best cartoon or even piece of fiction ever" is an even more extreme statement of this high praise.
>Why it was used: In the context of a review, this quote highlights the reviewer's strong positive feelings about the show's artistic merit and impact, stating that it was a show that they, and potentially others, viewed as being on a level of unparalleled quality.

The bias against girl's cartoons was just as strong in 2011 as it always was. MLP was seen as being just as much "girly slop" as Barbie.
The internet can keep "bronies" a meme for like six months, but the only way to keep them unironically watching for years and getting invested is for the show to be really, really good.
Not just watching, but also the amount of fan content caused by this obsession. So yeah, unironically FiM is the best

>>42654998
It's as true as your command of the English language.

MLP was just good but nothing great it's that
MLP atraccted attention of autists for them to obsses over it and watch it.

fim is very good, but much more importantly than that, it's special. there's still nothing like it for multiple reasons. there's a reason that it's still to this day arguably the single most creative fandom despite no longer being even close to the most biggest.

if we, as a collective, laid down on the copium as to see how faust jumped the shark all the way back to the literal SECOND episode of SEASON 1 when she completely undermined nightmare moon's backstory and twilight's conflict of making friends in just a single fucking anime flashback powerup asspull that was neither earned, properly setup nor build up in the slightlest but instead just given to her by the writers because she happened to notice the strangers she just met being useful to her cause and thus, realizing"huh, having friends can be useful, never before in my whole life did I never stop to make that connection despite being characterized as the autistic nerd".

problem?
Nightmare Moon's struggle with being overshadowed by Celestia?
Boom, gone! She was just being a whiny bitch that needed some rainbow tasting spanking to be set back on the right place.

problem?
Twilight's inflated ego and lack of social skills being the very things keeping her from making friends?
Boom, gone! Friends just... come to her...willingly! She is actually flawless and just needed to learn how friends can be useful.

problem?
Celestia's failure with her sister being the cataclysm to her corruption and the error of the past that had to be corrected somehow if Celestia were to ever hope to get things back to normalcy with her sister?
Boom! Gone! Thanks to floaty magic rocks going YEEE, Luna gets back with Celestia just fine, in fact, it's Luna who feels any kind of guilt or remorse for her past, as if she even had the opportunity to do anything wrong before being sentenced a 1000 years on the moon with no trial.

They don't even attempt to make a connection between the main conflict and the protagonists, Twilight just wants to stop Nightmare Moon because hurr durr she is evil and eternal nights are bad, that's it! Nothing about that motivation relates to making friends or learning about friendship. What about Nightmare Moon's backstory relates to Twilight in any way? There's nothing! It's just generic evil backstory for generic evil villain that generic protagonist must defeat by overcoming their generic problem and save the day.

The show only shines in the isolation of single episodes of contained narratives because it couldn't really go beyond that, it was, in fact, made primarily to sell toys and done so in a restrictive budget reflective of this fact.

Lauren Faust did not revolutionize girl's media, she just struck gold in a time where there wasn't much competition and internet hype culture was up for grabs, all she really had to do was make a cute show with cute ponies in wholesome moments with nothing too annoying to scare the adults away and she would've won!
Had she done nothing beyond the bare minimum of this formula, the results wouldn'tve differed.

If you pay close attention, you would realize just how unremarkable the show is at everything else it tries, including comedy. It's a show made to be enjoyed, not really thought about
