Probably my favourite thing about MLP:FIM is that it totally blows away the Bechdel Test. Like, all but one of the seven main characters are girls, and only one of them so much as mentions boys, for about 30 seconds out of just one episode.
The rest is about kicking apples out of trees and pushing clouds around the sky and sonic rainbooms and shit.
That is pure awesome. Also, I concur, Applejack is made of Dark Matter. Pure, awesome Dark Matter. The world needs more sassy tomboy ponies!
I used to think My little Ponies were lame.
I was wrong.
Cartoon physics explained. I loved it!
