OMG I remember having Dish when I was younger and watching this cause the channel it was on was right above CN, Disney, and Nick

Faroth

When lauren faust, creator and designer of the series, talked about mlp:fim she said that this wasnt a childs series, it was an "all public series", meaning the target audience wasnt children but rather anybody to enjoy. And she nail it since most of the fans were adults, and mostly men, and not in a bad way. A lot of adult men, me included, enjoyed the series. The topics, messages and humour it has make it very unique, and there will be at least a song every 2-3 episodes, so watch out for youtube

Pickapok

... heck. I guess I'll stay subscribed

DarkGodHao

Really!? Let's have fun on this journey

OnthatBanyan

Ok well, not what I was expecting at all but I'll tune in ig

DarkGodHao

Fluttershy = ....yay... RD = Louder Fluttershy = yay RD = LOUDER!! Fluttershy = ......Yay

The Wolf of Chaos

My favorite reactors are all finally jumping on the pony bandwagon. We’ll have to avoid spoilers while also showing her the best background characters to look out for cute moments

Josh Hunt

"A RAINBOW ICE CREAM CONE!!!" yeah, not beating the Rainbow Dash/Pinkie Pie similarity allegations with that one.

Luís Pacheco

YES!!! MY TWO FAVOURITE REACTORS ARE WATCHING PONIES AAAAAAAA

NatMcK7

EEEE YIPPEEEEE IM SO HAPPY!!!! Okay so back in 2015 I was still in a toxic mindset of girly things are stupid and dumb. Then one day I was on youtube and I saw the thumbnail for the season 3 premiere, and I won't spoil obviously but it looked EPIC! And so I clicked on it out of pure curiosity and within the first minute, there appeared to be a very epic NOT GIRLY AT ALL set up for an exciting PLOT! So I watched it and I fell in love with it and then Pinkie Pie herself basically dropkicked that toxic mentality I had out of me right in the face. She became my favorite pony and I no longer hate the color pink thanks to her. All this is to say is that this show IS AMAZING!!! It IS girly at times but not so much that it's annoying and patronizing. These girls can kick ass and the writing is amazing for most episodes. Hope you stick along for the ride!!!

Flufux

Glad you saw that Applejack and Rainbow, and also Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, share the same respective VAs, but it actually goes deeper than that. For instance, Mayor Mare (the Mayor of Ponyville) has the same voice actress as Spike (who yes, is voiced by a woman), and also, Rarity's voice actress also voices Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna and Applejack's grandmother: Granny Smith. Also, fun fact: Ashleigh Ball, who voices both Applejack and Rainbow Dash, has gone on record saying that she ships the two characters she voices. And yes, people ship the main girls with each other a lot...with Rainbow Dash in particular by far being the most shipped character in this show. She has been shipped not only with all of the other main characters, but a lot of other characters as well, and it lead to the joke in the fandom that she's been shipped with "everything but the kitchen sink"...which of course lead someone to write a fanfic where Rainbow Dash literally fell in love with a kitchen sink...it was weird.

Christopher Malone

Hearing Elijah is a combo of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie... this fills me with boy joy and dread, there is no middle ground, and this speaking as an Applejack-Fluttershy combo as I am both very practical but also suffer from crippling anxiety and shyness around new people

Dellwulf

The ride never ends.

Phoenix_mercury

Agreed, rd+pp... Jfc🤣 from a rd+fs combo with a splash of AJ 🤣

seraineity

omg ur actually reacting to my childhood hyperfixation! and just after youve finished my current hyperfixation (rwby obvi hahaha)

Taigan

I’m glad Mosco told you to give it several episodes. The pilot episode really isn’t that representative of the series as a whole. They tend to be much more slice-of-life stories. But I think you’ll find that works in its favor. Also, it can be argued that there is more gay in this series than in She-ra. It’s a lot more implied than overt, but it’s there. 🏳️‍🌈

marnacles

Oh I did NOT know this was coming so soon!!

Ryan

It seems to have died down a bit since the show ended, but while it was running, the fans had a level of devotion that honestly kind of scared me. For the biggest example, the party at the end of the first episode has a gray Pegasus in the background who was given crossed eyes just as a mistake in the animation, which took off into the fans giving this "character" who they named Derpy Hooves an entire personality and backstory and often treated her like she was just as important as the main cast. And you could count on any other background character with an eye-catching enough design to get similar treatment.

LikeCat

I am more of a fs (anxious in social situations) and ts (hyperfixations/ general geekness - Im "new" Critter... Wonder why 🤣) combo myself

Michael Gulick

Yay! I subscribed to Elijah's Patreon after Mosco's in the hopes that she would follow her GF into the MLP fandom. My hopes were heard!

Ryan

Maya Hawke seems to be the big raspy voice queen right now. She even compares it to Debra Winger in the Stranger Things finale.

marnacles

“Oh so like the light and dark brothers from rwby! I’m not sure which show came first” thank god we got you hooked on rwby. I’m so glad someone else is now gonna associate every light/dark sibling deity with rwby like I do. (Mlp came first though, lol.) (The other show I compared to rwby in that regard growing up was ninjago)

Solus

You know what's crazy about this show, this show was made and meant to be for little girls, but for some weird reason no one can explain, it was a big hit for young adult to regular adult men, and then there is a huge fanbase within the military, at least when I was in there was, we had a Sergeant in my Squadron that, you mention anything MLP he would just start talking all about the lore and everything, not sure if it's still like that now days or not, also there is a documentary on the bronie fan culture, check it out on your own time, it's very interesting.

Klice

Time to get hit by nostalgie again

marnacles

“I’m so sorry you guys did not sign up to watch me chat with my girlfriend about this” on the contrary, Elijah, this is EXACTLY the kind of content I joined patreon for

Seraphem

Praise be upon The Muffin Queen! Long may she and her all seeing eyes reign!

Seraphem

Whoooo! Subbed to the patreon soon as Mosco's discord let us know this was happening! You are in for a ride. If you loved the premier that much, you are in for one heck of an epic ride, this show is just... so GOOD! And so filled with tiny things that are so easy to miss. So looking forward to your reactions!

marnacles

Why is it a bop? Welcome to the show. Every single song is a bop.

Shay

Some have explained it, I will try to give a very short summary of those explanations. Basically: men, especially young men, feel deprived of friendship and intimacy and MLP helped them to unlearn a lot of toxic mindsets that were causing their feelings of isolation as well as teaching them to be more accepting. MLP gave them a connection where they felt safe to express their feelings in a way men, unfortunately, don't usually get to and taught them that flaws can be forgiven as long as you're actually trying your best. (It also provided many guys some really close friendships they may not have felt they could pursue before) Side note: a really sad, but cute, story I recently saw on TikTok was a single father went to a toy store to get MLP toys for his daughter and saw a little boy that was there being quiet, this grown man noticed this and spoke loudly to his daughter about the names and stories of the show and said that the little boy had asked if he liked it too, the boy almost started crying with joy that an adult man also liked his favorite show after hearing "yeah, Sunset Shimmer is my favorite". That man had grown up watching MLP and was rewatching it with his daughter, but he saw an insecure little boy and did what he could to make him feel safe, and I find that story so sweet😊

og.monstr

You have thoughts, oh do you, Elijah? 🤣 To be fair, you won't believe the amount of shipping the Mane Six get...

Christopher Pope

Welcome to the herd, as they say. I agree on the similarities you & Mosco mentioned, but I also think Mosco shares some of Twily's organization/paperwork skill set and her determinize to analyze & solve mysteries. There are a lot of layers to all our featured ponies that will come out as the series develops. And as episodic as the show is, there is growth and development in the characters (and the larger world) from one season to the next.

marnacles

Now I would never deign to think I could know Mosco better then Mosco. But I think I’m with you on seeing more of Twilight in her than Rarity. And Twilight for SURE has sass! Girl loves her friends very much and is also often very *done* with their antics.

BakaSama

I swear every time I see that part with the rainbow from the Elements of Harmony I hear the Nostalgia Critic’s “Taste the rainbow motherf*cher!”

beans

your reaction to pinkie being "im in this picture and i dont like it" is very fun

Lil Ferret

"it's a bop, why is it a bop?!" Every song in this series in a nutshell

JHB

Like I said for Mosco, this is the show that made rainbows into Death-Star lasers for the forces of good.

jazz316

I do say your Elijah if this first two episodes were awesome to her? Then she is going to get an absolute kick out of the whole series. Coming from someone who was a fan of this show from start to finish. Owns merchendise and comics and a proud "Brony" as the male fans were called of this masterpiece Elijah is in for a great time that I cannot wait to see each episode :D

JHB

I, too, didn't think I'd be watching this show. After all, previous versions of MLP were practically the definition of "engineered cutesy-poo for single-digit-aged girls". But stuff started filtering across my feeds, and a friend got me to watch the Season 2 trailer. And afterward, my first thought was "Goddammit! I'm going to end up watching this thing, aren't I?" Eeyup, I ended up doing so, all 9 seasons. It got my old D&D "fictional world-building" juices flowing again.

Lydia-the-insane

Ahhh this is awesome! Ive been watching Moscos reactions hoping you'd start too! But the bad news is now I also have to get Moscos patreon so I can watch your guy's full reactions at the same time lol

JHB

"PinkieDash" is a shipping name

Athena

So glad you decided to check out the show! I absolutely love how different your reactions were from Mosco too, It's cool to see how you connect with different elements of the show and characters! For the record Fluttershy is my favorite too so I absolutely get you. And I see what you're thinking there!! You cannot fool us lol. Trust me, this show is just the show of girl shipping. Genuinely just ship whoever you want haha

Solus

👍

JHB

The "pony posse" is generally referred to as "The Mane Six"

JHB

Do you defy physics? Pinkie defies physics.

Cali Jester

"Fuck Spike," I felt that with my soul.

Rixec2

Oh, feel free to say everything you're thinking about Applejack and Rainbow Dash. This fandom has a big LGBT side, with plenty of ships.

Matthew Dunne

Huh. Seems like it might be interesting.

supersoaker

You seeing Pinkie reminds me of Dylan is in Trouble seeing Milo from Atlantis: The Lost Empire. His reaction to that movie was pretty funny

Jennifer Dawes

This is a show that just gets better and better, especially as Hasbro let the team have more and more creative freedom over time. Not only do Rainbow Dash and Applejack share a voice actress, but so do Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Now that is some range. And if you thought that was a bop, you're in for a treat as the show continues.

Iron117Prime

This is a rather cute series that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

SoaringJe

My headcanon is that Spike transcribes Twilight's letters as his writing practice since he doesn't attend school. edit: Also, the show doesn't keep the most accurate credits at the end of each episode, such as the VA for Nightmare Moon voicing multiple named characters.

Matthew

I haven't watched this series yet but from seeing the reaction it looks like a really wholesome series!

Giara Vanesa Chávez Mendoza

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

FanofFantasy

I remember first watching this series ages ago. It is very wholesome, but it can be VERY SLOW sometimes. I mainly watched for Discord as well as the Equestria Girls series. Although I do recommend you keep watching, there are a lot of high quality episodes, movies, characters, and relationships to see later on.

Pecher

So your ponysona need to have a name about sugar and a cutie mark with candy. So you just want to be Bonbon, make sense.

AyatoMisubi

if this actually ends up being the whole series you in for a good series

RogueVader1996

"You guys did not sign up to watch me chat with my girlfriend about this" Yes we did, Elijah ;-) so cute, keep it up!

Katy ✨

SOO happy FIM is getting so much love. I've loved it! <3

Katy ✨

Littlest Pet Shop which was on the the same time was so cute too <3

Bryn

I know she’ll ship them but I wish there were more Rarijack shippers 😔

Bryn

Yesss I’m so excited for this. I wish you would continue to do two episodes at a time for this though, as there are 9 seasons and almost all of them have at least 20 episodes. But I get only doing one at a time, I’ll take what I can get honestly!

JuneBug

The rarijack tension doesn’t TRULY start til after the ykw episode. So it might be awhile before she catches it 😭

Chi

Elijah, will you also be reacting to the Equestria Girls movies? I reccomend you do! They're just as fun as MLP itself.

Chi

YEAH! and the songs are so freaking good 💔 plus, she seems to be leaning more towards appledash in fim, so I’m curious if she’d be a multishipper like 90% of the fandom, and go for rarijack in eqg!!!

Athalia

You did the thing!!!!!!! LOL So excited that you are reacting to MLP as well. So many people dismissed it because Brony culture got a little weird but the show is so good.

OnTheSpectrum7342

/)*(\ Welcome to the herd!!! So, I checked and MLP came before RWBY by around 3 years (MLP FiM is 2010, RWBY is 2013). Then, when you mentioned your love of raspy-voiced women, you mentioned Buttercup, which I assume is the one from the Powerpuff Girls. Well, it might interest you to know that this iteration of MLP was created by Lauren Faust, the wife of Craig McCracken (the creator of the PPG) and she also joined the team working on that show in 1999. Additionally, the voice of Twilight (Tara Strong) was the voice of Bubbles (among many, many, MANY others, such as Raven (Teen Titans), Miss Minutes (Loki), Harley Quinn (a lot of the animated Batman series (and video games), Timmy Turner (My Fairly OddParents), and one of the Ember Island Players (specifically the actress playing Azula) in one episode of Avatar The Last Airbender, to name a few). The rest of the voice cast is also super talented, but this comment is already long enough!!

Helen Dingo

Because you asked in the video: This show actually came before RWBY. MLP:FiM premiered in 2010, RWBY premiered in 2013. (I've been busy at work, and Tuesday/Wednesday are my days off, so I am catching up on reactions I couldn't watch during the work week)

JuneBug

Yes! I hope she watches them in chronological order tho, if she ends up getting to season 4!

Helen Dingo

OH! A very important piece of trivia: Michelle Creber, the VA for Apple Bloom, Applejack's little sister, is a lesbian and posts photos of herself with her girlfriend on her Instagram every few days.

Beryl_foxturtle

A rainbow ice cream cone is like the perfect combination of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

Beryl_foxturtle

Eh, it was the opposite. Lauren Faust had a lot of freedom at the beginning because nobody cared, but as the show grew in popularity more and more Hasbro execs tried to take control and impose their preferences (especially for toy selling opportunities).

Beryl_foxturtle

There's an official pony version of D&D (they're both owned by Hasbro) so you're not alone.

Beryl_foxturtle

It has died down, but there's still plenty of fan videos being made right now for Derpy Hooves, check them out on the "top 10 pony videos" series that comes out on YouTube every month.

Lilac Chimera

Hope you like horse puns, because this show sure does! In just this episode we have Canterlot = Camelot, Fillies and Gentlecolts = Ladies and Gentlemen, You Foals! = You fools

Faroth

bronies and pegasisters, unite! join the Herd!

Faroth

would that make Mosco being Lyra?

Faroth

so, to summarize... to make a thing... Mane: Pinkie Pie mane-like to similate eijah's, puffy, curly, and hot pink/rainbow colored. Species: ? ??? pegasus? Body Color: light purple (lavender) coat or cyan? Eye Color: cyan or blue eyes, similar to Pinkie Pie's. Cutie Mark: An ice cream cone with pink and purple scoops and some candies on the sides Accessories: small golden crown and perhaps some leg warmers or her bracelets to complete the look?

Faroth

to be fair, if shemanaged to watch the 2nd movie, she may be see a related storyline with some demon hunters she already watched, but in reverse

Faroth

i played/mastered a whole 7 years campaign of d&d thansk to this show, and was ambient in 1000 years before the series since in the series they always say "1000 years ago blahblablah" so we played there, the 3 players from lv1 to lv20, full pony mode using lore of the series and from the fandom, including fallout equestria and some comics and even doctor whooves, we used dnd5e with custom races skins and custom logic, like ponys using crossbows and have to go on the fly with "hands" logic... a player played a griffin so was the only one with hands, funny stuff, the lv21 boss was bill cipher trying to enter their realm

Willow 404

yay!!! Now, I've been doing this for Mosco on her reactions and I'll do this for you starting next video, but as an avid multishipper that dislikes VERY FEW ships, I've been pointing out little scenes that may feed certain ships/pairings, canon or not

AtlasRedux

Just a heads up, you're watching the first episode in slow motion, it's slowed down a tiny bit, making dialogue and song a bit uncanny valley feeling. Check your sources and settings.

Diesel Marcus

LET'S FREAKING GO!!! So glad the MLP:FiM bug is going around this sphere of reactors so we can reminisce once more. I got introduced to it by a friend who simply suggested I "check it out." Lo and behold I ended up watching for a while until s6 where I stopped after the premiere for no real reason, just like RWBY. Need to finish them both and I'm hoping these will finally push me to the finish on the shows I have yet to complete.

Charlie Odinoco

Look, no one is a fan of MLP... Until they watch it.

Tomas Rolter

I think you should watch "Lullaby for a princess." in your free time. (It's fan made.)

RaisedEyebrow

I think MLP:FiM is an important landmark in both TV shows and fandoms. It's not the first show for little kids that has been enjoyed by adults. But it's one of the first that's been openly ACKNOWLEDGED at having a wider fan base than it's target demographic! And I also think it's individually important to accept that just because a show was made for "little girls," doesn't mean it can't have realy effort put into it!

House Of G

PLEASE WATCH LULLABY FOR A PRINCESS

zoe caswell

Oh the songs are bangers every time

Neetaku

Now you've watched this, you & Mosco need to react to some Fanmade content like, Lulaby for a Princess. there are others, but should only be watch after certain episodes.

Anzac-A1

She-Ra has confirmed gay. This has implied gay at best

PinkClouds94

I love that it only took 15 mins for you to make a ponysona lmao

Sparrow

I also added this comment on your girlfriend’s post, but my childhood friend and younger sibling and I all decided which pony we were as kids. My childhood friend was Pinkie Pie, my younger sibling was Fluttershy, and I was Applejack. Pinkie Pie was code for my childhood friend’s ADHD, (ironically, though, we all have ADHD lol) Fluttershy represented my younger sibling’s kindness and love for animals ig, (I personally feel like I fit both of those categories somewhat better, but I didn’t say I was Fluttershy because I’m definitely not shy. I just can’t always read social cues and hate small talk.) and Applejack’s honesty was code for my autism. We all turned out to be neurodivergent and queer after having grown up watching this show but no surprise there

whogivesadamn

Yeah but only one canon gay couple well maybe 2.

whogivesadamn

Welcome to the herd your already making a ponysona Mine is a combo of Rainbow and Twilight.

LiterallyJustAGirl

U and your girlfriend talk just alike its like Im watching an America Wee Lass. Super cute
