Wow, that is legitimately interesting. I am a huge fan of mythology, and I loved seeing all the references in FiM, but seeing it all written out like that is truly astonishing.
ReplyDeleteBy holy Mithras!.. Clearly the word "over-analyze" hasn't made it into the dictionary yet.
ReplyDeleteYou could probably submit this as coursework and pass in most universities...
I just totally had a nerdgasm over this.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the comparison of Pony and Aztec mythology... That's just going to encourage the grimdark people, isn't it?
That was really neat! I doubt most of the parallels were intentional, but I don't think the author was arguing that either :P But it's really cool to see the pool of mythology we all draw from.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was just what one person gathered on the intro story in the first ep, the Elements of Harmony, and the Cutie Marks. There's so much more mythology that can be linked to the entire season thus far.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a show that has so many references to myths and legends WITHOUT it being a primary element of the show, and I certainly have not seen such a show that is primarily aimed at children (and is most likely popular with children).
Everyone who works on this show has a lot to be proud of. Every single bit of this show is leaps and bounds beyond what other shows even hope to be
Wow that's a great analysis! So much I didn't realize that was in the show.
ReplyDeleteMost of it is probably not intentional.
ReplyDeleteBut hey maybe there's a mythology nut on the writing team.
Pretty sure my little pony has always relied on mythos and totemism to give it's self that extra punch.

ReplyDeleteI was actually just interested in education. Wait a minute...

HHHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG
...It really sucks to have two copy editors for parents.
Thanks for the great comments on this.
ReplyDeleteDisplay Name, thanks for pointing out those errors. I typed that all out last night and I'm chalking those error and other up to being overly tired.
All hail Trixie.
Psh, I can't believe they didn't mention anything about Taoism in there. It was pretty blatant right at the opening of the first ep. :/
ReplyDeleteMy only comment:
ReplyDeleteIt's not friendship OR magic, it's friendship IS magic.
Read the title. ;)
Magic & science is blurry in equestria!
