It's like how people were bitching about "some pink alicorn princess" before the season finale came out. But when everyone finally watches the episodes in question, Cadence quickly becomes a fan favorite.

Or how everyone was going "eww My Little Pony" before they tried watching a couple episodes of FIM.

You'd think the fanbase would have a little more faith in the production staff, eh?

Well when it was initially announced, it was easy to interpert it as a shallow marketing move.
And that's my favorite thing about this fandom: the sheer number of people who react to any new development by assuming the worst possible interpretation is the only possible interpretation.

Wait, did I say favorite? I meant least favorite.
And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

@Kyler: Blind trust is also probably not that healthy. Trust them to do their jobs to the best of their ability, but do criticize (SANELY) when you see good reason to.

@Meta: I am in agreement. The 'jump to conclusions' mat is a staple in this fandom and it always drives me up the wall. It's like everything is going to turn out bad, all the time.

I'll criticize when I actually have something to criticize. But not before.

I'm not just trusting blindly. Heck, when Cadence was first announced, I had my share of skepticism. When EQG was first announced, I had my share of skepticism. But the people in charge of getting the thing made have a track record, so I have a reason to think it's going to turn out alright.

I still hate the very concept of turning the Mane 6 into teenagers and even worse, High School Students. Hate it so very very much. But I do trust that the writers will do a good job with what they have. Story wise I'm sure it'll be great, I just loathe the very concept.

There seems to be a cycle of the fandom going to the most cynical and lowest opinion of anything new, slowly start accepting it, and the fandom being more or unless OK aside from the minority who join the rest of the this show is dead haters.

Well, good fanart of EQG characters will probably turn some folks around.

@Sera: Totally fair.

@dark pretty much, which is why more and more people are getting fed up with the latest OMG FUINESFROEBER!!! Bullshit what ever it is at the time, because it always ends the exact same way.

At the most, everyone kinda makes fun of it or acts indifferent about it.

Well, that could be a good thing if the fandom's wised up to the haters and just ignore the bitching.

Hopefully we can all just ignore the shit storms and not let their negativity bring us down.

To sum up: Sensible criticism good, over-the-top anger bad.

Oh, that's fine. Remember, over the top rage is 'always good for a laugh.
