That's what I hope anyway. If not, no Wii U for me.

That has time to change though. I'll cut Nintendo some slack until launch.

Or Afghanistan or Libya for that matter. Or all of them combined.

From what I heard, murder is killing someone after due thought. I don't believe involuntary manslaughter counts, nor self-defense.
And nor does war, in my opinion.

The war between the middle east and the united states. Are you for it, or against it?
Hard to say since that doesn't exist.

How funny would it be if we could play a PS3 on the Wii U controller!
Best use of the Wii U yet.

I'm glad I'm one of those people who can say I joined before the big migration
So you're an elitist?
Figures. Upper class is always prejudiced against the people.

When a show or movie is directed at adult men, what kind of content do the producers tend to put into it?
What kinds of cartoon/anime most adolescent and adult males watch nowadays?
I'll reiterate the point made in my first post here: it's the change.
For once, there's something they can enjoy without being constantly stimulated, yet that still makes popular culture references. Songs with tunes taken from pre-existing ones, scenes reminding them of their own childhood (Cinderella reference: Rarity's shoe in the last episode)... Characters that have flaws but do their best to improve spiritually, and not necessarily achieve a goal in the physical world...
The point(s?) you're getting at here seem to be rather... ambiguous, ethereal and/or not fleshed out.
- What do you mean by "constantly stimulated?" And how does MLP differentiate itself from that?
- Why are pop culture references a necessary part of entertainment?
- Are you saying the songs trigger nostalgia by taking tunes from preexisting songs?
- Are nods to old classics enough to make a show stand on its own?
- What on earth is meant by "improve spiritually" and "not necessarily achieving a goal in the physical world?" Are we talking about morality fables that are meant to teach simple ethical lessons rather than tell stories? If so, why is that intriguing/interesting to a mostly adult male?

I don't understand what you're trying to say? Are you saying that because it's a show catered to 8 year old girls it can't be a masterpiece?
If that's all it is, yes. Masterpieces require depth and complexity that simply isn't there when marketing for young children.
