Anyone Else Kind Of Iffy About Continuing To Watch FIM?

[Majesty]

For me personally the last couple of seasons I've been watching FIM to have something to watch.
A lot of the shows I watched got cancelled and the few shows I watch are always on mid season finale or season finale too quickly and have nothing to watch in between.  I still kind of had hope that maybe I would continue to watch FIM and enjoy it but I don't anymore.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

I have kinda stopped as well. For me it has gotten repetitious with them learning the same lessons over and over again. Also all the mane six are kind of annoying to me now. They are okay, but they have a lot of traits that just get on my nerves for some reason

I've felt the same way since about season 3.

If you aren't enjoying it then I think it's logical to stop watching it.  (That's how I felt about Hasbro's last Transformers cartoon--I got a few episodes in and was like "eh, don't like this.")

To be honest I think it makes more sense than not enjoying, yet continuing to watch.  We aren't contractually obligated to watch the cartoon just because we're MLP fans, lol.

I continue to watch because there is the occasional gem like "Amending Fences", but the show on the whole has lost it's luster.  It has since at least Season 4 and perhaps Season 3 (ironically when they're were completely free of Faust's influence and Rob was replaced by Meghan as story editor).  I watch new episodes in case it turns out to be one of those gems or at least entertaining on some level, but I never bother with repeats.

I got to the beginning of s5, I think, and stopped watching. I haven't seen anything for about two/three years, and I'm not fussed. It's gotten very meh.

If you want other cartoon recommendations, I hear Guillermo del Toro's Trollhunters is really good.

I still put the new episodes on, and enjoy them for the most part, but I reckon a fair few of them end up just playing in the background when I get distracted by something else to do...

I stopped after the season where the Cake twins were born and I only watched that long so I could tell a then-friend what was going on in the show. I just got so bored with it. There's so many other shows that I'd rather watch I don't have the time to waste on ones I'm meh on.

If an episode or scene is a really big deal in the community I might watch it, depending on why its making waves.

It surprises me when people talk about it like this I hear this alot yet I think I love the show now more than ever. To each their own though.

Well season 7 is my favorite one along with season 2, so i still love the show.

I'm still as hardcore a FiM fan as ever, but it's more due to an attachment to the characters. Long after the show, I'll be making art and stories for the characters, but the show itself has suffered seasonal rot. Seasons 4 and 1 were my favorites, and the more recent seasons are placing pretty low on my rankings. I do want to see how the show will end, so I'll be along for the rest of the ride, however lonely that ride gets.
Many of the fans of the earlier seasons seemed to drop off around seasons 4 and 5.

I stopped around season 3 or 4. Something about it just kind of didn't set right with me.
Half the time I think part of what killed the show for me is some of the fan base, not everyone in the fan base but some lol
But there are other reasons, most of which was just what the show turned into basically

I kinda feel this too. Even if I find some of the characters annoying, I'm still attached to them. And I will definitely stick through till the end, even if I don't watch the episodes between now and the end.

I'm still watching it, though mostly out of obligation at this point.
I still enjoy it for the most part. But I've grown more skeptical about this show since season 5.

This is actually a big reason as to why people stop watching. I see a lot of people who have had the show soured due to bigoted or rabid fans, it's sad that such a community has risen out of a show about friendship and understanding.
If it's not the core reason, it only motivates people tired with the repetitiveness of the show to drop it.
