Line 70:
** "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" could be said to not only preach "You shouldn't let glory go to your head and turn you into a braggart", but also "Fame is fleeting", based on how quick the ponies of Ponyville were to celebrate Mare Do Well and almost completely ignore Rainbow Dash. And given that {{spoiler|Mare-Do-Well is actually [[Collective Identity|four of the other members of the Mane Six]], who manage to accomplish more than Rainbow Dash could alone}}, it teaches a lesson about {{spoiler|the Power of Teamwork.}}
** A different Aesop that can be taken from the episode "Hearts and Hooves Day" then the one given at the end can be taken as "You don't NEED a 'very special somepony' to be happy, even on a day dedicated to having one."
* [[Broken Base]]: The mane six relearning lessons (especially ones contradicting their elements). Some don't mind it since it shows they aren't perfect, while others hate it since it gets repetitive, annoying and that in certain episodes, they should know better.
** [[Extreme Doormat|Fluttershy]] arguably gets this the worse, with her shy nature and kindness getting her into trouble. Some love it because they find it adorable, relatable, and realistic. Others dread it like it's said above: it gets repetitive and annoying. This was lampshaded in 'Fame and Misfortune', where she points out no one changes in a day, which did make some fans calm down. But even then, those fans (like Joshscorcher) simply made a [[Take a Third Option|third camp]], saying that that's a good reason ''in-universe'' and that it's still bad from a writer's/audience perspective.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]:
** In the pilot episode, Twilight says "All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!" By the end of the season, every mane character has suffered a nervous breakdown at some point. And then in the season 2 episode "Lesson Zero", Twilight goes ''completely'' (if temporarily) over the edge.
Line 167 ⟶ 169:
*** However, they return to their condition of divisive characters in later episodes.
*** Basically, if the Crusaders don't cause any trouble and are just acting like kids, their haters seem to be okay with them. When the episode [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|focuses on them finding their cutie marks]] or they cause trouble, that's when things get messy.
** Gilda. Some view her as a [[Jerkass Woobie]], others as just a [[Jerkass]]. This would be proven correct in her next appearance in 'The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone'.
*** Then there's those who remember mythology and build [[Fridge Horror]] around the fact it is gryphons' ''very nature'' to hate horses, and Gilda was merely a victim of her species' characteristics.
*** Same goes for Trixie.
Line 360 ⟶ 362:
** [[Art Evolution]]: This has only increased in the second season.
* [[Broken Base]]: With the fandom as large as it is, this is inevitable. Some dividing factors include the Aesop of some episodes coming off the wrong way to some fans ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E08 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|"The Mysterious Mare Do Well"]] being a prime example), the portrayal of fan-favorite characters, and whether or not [[Fandom Nod|Fandom Nods]] are good for the show. Its probably best to leave it at that.
** While no one likes the censorship she got, Derpy's voice in 'The Last Roundup' is quite divisive. Some hate the new voice because she sounds like a dumb blonde and too perky. Others like the new voice, saying it's sounds cute (and also pointing out that it sounded what fanon assumed her voice to be beforehand). There's another group that initially hated it but grew to love it, whether because they grew out of the discourse or simply because it sounds similar to how she would sound in later episodes anyway.
**
* [[Canon Fodder]]: The fanfiction community for the show is one of the biggest and fastest growing fanfiction communities in all media fandoms. One of the many reasons is the many gaps in the details about the history of the ''FiM'' universe. Fanfic writers have a field day answering questions such as "What turned Luna into Nightmare Moon?", "What happened between the founding of Equestria and the rule of Discord?", "Where does the Hearts and Hooves Day backstory fit into this?", and so on.
* [[Complaining About People Not Liking the Show]]: ''Some'' of the [[Fan Dumb]] can be quite vocal about folks genuinely not liking the show or any of its aspects, and it's probably best to leave it at that.
Line 455 ⟶ 459:
** Pinkie and [[Dan Vs.|Dan]], inspired by [[The Hub]]'s own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C0DukozIYs crossover] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSoEZpKvgNs commercials] where Pinkie bothers him. They even go [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV8aN2nwCQ8 see] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkXj9_JnLbw movies] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiG3qlqdtKQ together].
** [[Big Good|Celestia and]] [[Transformers|Optimus Prime.]]
** The Mane 6 x TMNT: Leonardo/Twilight or Sci-Twi, Raphael/Sunset Shimmer, Donatello/Rarity, Michelangelo/Pinkie Pie, Casey/Applejack, and Slash/Fluttershy.
** Following the above, there's also Knuckles/Applejack, Knuckles (his Sonic Boom variation specifically)/Fluttershy, and Silver the Hedgehog/Starlight Glimmer.
* [[Dry Docked Ship]]: Many people in the fandom say that Discord is Celestia's ex.
** Some also say similar things about Rainbow Dash and Gilda.
