Now that 6 years have passed by.... what went wrong?

>>29708467
Kill yourself, faggot.

>>29708467
Same thing that went wrong with FNAF and DHMIS. It was designed to be surreal, but took itself too seriously and ran itself into the ground to appease autistic preteens on their IPads.

>>29708539
>but took itself too seriously

This is legitimately the downfall of many current media nowadays.

>>29708539
Without knowing any background happenings behind this, I think the .MOV "shorts" were pretty good, maybe except the one that was about their tragic childhoods. That one was boring. But other than that, it made up a good parody.

what DID go wrong... with my life?

the dude who was making them tried to dickride the bronyfags to become rich and famous, pretty much like anyone else on the early hypetrain. The episodes got progressively worse because he was losing touch with irony when the people he was pulling the jokes on became his target audience. He even went as far as to make an unironic pony askblog and turned his AJ into an OC.

>>29708467
meh. I thought they were entertaining enough to watch. hasn't the whole thing just been dead for years now?

Max G's Pony.mov just isn't really funny without having to use gross out and edgy comedy. Also the ending sucked. He's definatly getting better at animation but he could use a partner to help in writing jokes.

>>29709488
Give him some credit for writing a story with an actual ending for his askblog. Most writers lose interest and then lose their account password.

But yeah, he tried to turn horse-fame into actual fame and fizzled out.

>>29709511
The use of gross and edge comedy was the orimary focus for his jokes because you would not expect it being a parody of a "little girls show." The gore and violence made me laugh, and the shitty storyarch made me want to finish the series. Yes, the ending was bad, but what did you expect?

Max did it to practice his animation and make some money from it, big deal. The only thing I disliked was him going to cons after he said he was done with the series. Lets not forget that he shuns bronies when he is one himself. He couldnt have written half of the jokes and phrases without actually watching a season if the show.

it took so long for swag.mov to come out that by the time it did it was already a meme. he's other stuff is still good, wgj4k was top notch

>>29708467

The fanbase. People "grew up" and decided they were "too old" for "juvenile comedy".

These anons get it. It was always tryhard "edgy" humor.

It was edgy humor, nothing inherently wrong. The thing with edgy humor is that the joke can only last so long before it's tone becomes the norm. 30-40 mins of shock humor leave the viewer feeling very dull by the end.

>>29708570
Like the current FiM itself.

>>29708467
Stupid edgy cutie marks mostly.

>>29709656
He was actually pretty enthusiastic about the show back in the early days. I remember seeing a drunken skype interview he did with some youtube group or whatever and he was selling how good the show was and why it inspired him to make the .mov shorts. He even talked a little about the fan base and how it felt like such a great and supportive community for creative content.

>>29709488
Didn't his ask applejack thing come before apple.mov? I'm pretty sure it did.

>>29711836
It occurred between apple.mov and swag.mov.

apples.mov will never not be funny, but as the series went on it was trying to hard to be edgy and LEL LOOK AT ME I'M FUNNY

The creator only really wanted to make the first video in the series, and poured all his heart into the lesser known, complementary web comic. The rest of the series was spurred by the popularity of the first, and it shows. They were competently made, with some funny jokes, but they had a perfunctory feeling to them.

Also, Burnbot best girl.

I genuinely want to learn that routine for parties

Where the heck would you get a box of Grandma Brownie's Chocolate Chunker Wunker Bunkers?

It became a piece of shit like you like me and everyone in this thread.

>>29716483
Did you just say Grandma Brownie's Chocolate Chunker Wunker Bunkers now with Even Bigger Chunks of Chocolate Chunk?

Nothing really, it just got tired and tried to hard too be meme worthy. It relied on characters whose personalities got grating after their original gag was done.

The askblog was actually pretty good, and had some decent meta commentary on askblog authors being snowflakes and deleting their shit for no fucking reason.
