Top 10 Reasons My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the Best Show Ever

Each episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic presents a unique and interesting story that viewers of all ages can enjoy. Often, the narratives are unpredictable, leading you to expect one outcome, only for the plot to take a completely different turn. This constant suspense keeps you engaged, wondering what will happen next.

The storytelling can sometimes be so remarkable that it feels mind-blowing in its scale, particularly in seasons 5 and 6. Overall, the narratives in each episode of MLP FIM are epic and always leave you excited for the next installment.

Every show or movie is known for its likable and memorable characters. My Little Pony practically fills the entire dictionary with the number of lovable characters it has! From amazing main characters like Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, to side characters like Big Macintosh and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, to background characters like the legendary Derpy Hooves, almost every character in this show is great and so easy to root for. Every situation these characters get themselves into, you want to see them come out okay!

Some of the show's best characters don't even appear until later seasons (Maud Pie and Thorax are perfect examples). Sure, sometimes there's that one character that gets under your skin, like Quibble Pants or Diamond Tiara (before Season 5). But more often than not, these pony characters are so darn likable that you'll always find yourself coming back for more!

Now, we've all heard plenty of catchy music in our lives, and My Little Pony is a goldmine when it comes to catchy music! The show is flooded with so many unbelievably catchy songs that will never leave your head once you've heard them! Smile Smile Smile, Apples to the Core, and Winter Wrap Up are only a fraction of the examples of the catchy music this show offers. Almost every song in the show is incredibly singable and will stay in your head for as long as you can remember them.

Not only that, but there are also some really good emotional songs in this show! Overall, the music in My Little Pony is amazing!

Every good show has to know exactly when to be funny and when to be serious, and My Little Pony is no exception! The show is often jam-packed with amazing laugh-out-loud comedy (most of it coming from Pinkie Pie being a weirdo), but will occasionally stop for a few minutes to have a nice, serious, dramatic scene.

Sometimes, the drama in this show can get so serious that it becomes almost depressing! Every episode will make you laugh, cry, or usually both. This show will make you believe that ponies can make a person cry (and laugh)!

If you're going into this expecting another typical girl's show with just flowers, butterflies, and pretty colors, you're in the wrong place entirely! My Little Pony may have originally been targeted at little girls between the ages of 3 and 7, but it has no problem scaring the ever-loving daylights out of them! Do not, and I repeat, do not, let the show's TV-Y rating fool you. A pony episode may start out all cute and innocent, but then all of a sudden there may be zombies, a nightmare scene, or sometimes a character going through a complete and total mental breakdown!

Sometimes, the episodes can just get downright scary or uncomfortable for little kids. For example, there's one episode where an evil spirit turns all six of our favorite pony friends into jerks. There's another episode where the most innocent character turns evil and drives two of her friends to tears. There's even an episode where the most amazing character in the show goes through the five stages of depression!

Bottom line: if you're a parent and want to show this to your kids, make sure you watch it with them first to ensure they can handle it. And don't be surprised if they suddenly start having an everlasting fear of cookies!

References to The Big Lebowski, Trainspotting, and Game of Thrones in a show made for five-year-old girls. Need I say more? There are also many homages to classic movies like Gone With The Wind and Singin' in the Rain, with so many others hidden throughout the show!

Some of the references are even hidden in the background, like the Shining reference. Sometimes the newer episodes give callbacks to older ones. Not much more to say here except, amazing!

As if this show wasn't already filled with an endless slew of likable characters and memorable songs, it's also highly quotable! So many memorable quotes have become famous internet memes. The biggest ones, of course, are 20% cooler and Eeyup!

It's one of the most quotable shows of all time, hands down!

Who would have thought that what started as a small show, spun off from a notoriously popular franchise, would continuously grow to become more and more amazing with every passing season? If you're only becoming an average fan after the first couple of seasons, don't worry! The later seasons will give you plenty of reasons to become a diehard fan of the show.

As far as I would rank the seasons: Seasons 1 and 2 are both great, and Season 3 is really good too, despite being a half-season. Season 4 is also great, but Seasons 5 and 6 are in a whole other category of epicness! To really understand how amazing the show is, you have to binge-watch the entire series, at least up to Season 5's masterpiece, "Crusaders of the Lost Mark," which is, and always will be, the greatest episode of the whole series.

At the time I'm typing this, Season 7 is still in production and is said to be the best season yet! All I can say is, if it's anywhere near as epic as the last two seasons, bring it on!

Not only is the show itself great, but the franchise as a whole is awesome too! There's a really crazy and cool spinoff where all the characters become humans in high school, and there's a super awesome app game available for smartphones that is a thousand times more addicting than any old Candy Crush or Angry Birds game.

Seriously, download the game on your smartphone and then tell me you're not still playing it two hours later. I dare you!
