Re: MLP is teaching kids to be cocky

This will cause flames. I know it.
Therefore, it's flamebait.

I saw the commercial, I don't think that the pony saying "my wings are so pretty" is teaching kids to be cocky - it actually sounds a bit more on the side of vanity, but it's rather quite slight.  (If anyone wants to see the commercial, you can view it here).

Actually, there's quite a bit of fans of MLP who disagree with the commercial as well since the sayings of the pony toy are totally out-of-character with the figure in the show. If anything, it's just the commercial that's rather negative here, not really MLP in general. I could say the same for many different product commercials out there associated with a fandom or show of some sort.  hmm

MLP FIM: The toys are horrible, but the show is epic (from a brony. no troll, please)

Yes, and the real Princess is white, and even shows her white in the animated beginning, but the toy is pink (my sister wanted it, and it shows it pink) Oh, and animieboy, I agree, that pinkie is nothing like the real one.

Why would that teach a kid to be cocky?

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Re: MLP is teaching kids to be cocky

I'm sorry, but I just watched the ad and failed to see how that's teaching kids to be cocky? >.>
I hardly ever watch MLP, as it's a bit childish IMO. However, even I can see that it's just some creepy toy pony aimed at little kids who wanna grow up to be like 'Princess Celestia' and be a pretty pony thingy. I don't see how it's teaching kids to be brats, give MLP a break :L

Re: MLP is teaching kids to be cocky

Fanboy and Chum Chum teaches kids to be stupid and annoying.

And thanks to Nick/YTV and Disney/Family channels, 10 year olds are dating and all that gross love stuff. 10 YEAR OLD KIDS SHOULDN'T DATE.

Re: MLP is teaching kids to be cocky

Hehe, as cheddargirl said, that commercial (and the toy) represents pretty much the exact opposite of Celestia's character. In the show, she's a wise and benevolent ruler, not some vain airhead that prances about talking about how pretty she is.

The commercial doesn't really represent the show in any way, shape or form. I can name at least one episode off the top of my head where part of the lesson is to not be arrogant.

Re: MLP is teaching kids to be cocky

It says "my wings are pretty"

Sounds like Rarity.

And, she said "wow a real pony princess"
