My little pony IS a immature show

Well no surprise that my opponent disappeared. As planned I will finish with my final argument and then the final round with be mostly last thoughts. Now this next argument I like to call my "ace in the hole". It is usually my best argument against MLP's supposed maturity. It is another show comparison. The funny thing about this one though is the show I am about to compare MLP:FiM to isn't considered a mature show at all. In fact in some ways MLP might even be much better than this show. I am talking about the PBS show "Sesame Street". How can a show that is usually about only teaching kids from preschool to about 2nd or 3rd grade about colors, numbers, and letters be more mature than a kids show about ponies going on adventures? Well Sesame Street has done quite a few things that is very mature especially when compared to MLP. When you mention Sesame Street to people usually the characters that come to mind are Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, The count, and Elmo. The human characters aren't usually thought of. They are still a very important part of the show though and they are major characters even if they aren't puppets. Back in the early 1980's the human character Mr. Hooper passed away. Being that Sesame Street is technically a "baby" show and it's audience usually isn't above age 4 you would think they could have easily dealt with this. There was many ways they could have in fact. They could have made up some thing about him leaving Sesame Street. They could have just replaced him with someone else. They could have went on as if he didn't die and slowly mention him less and less until they would be able to phase him out of the show completely. It wouldn't be hard to make up or take some route and basically stall until the kids at that time grew up and and stopped watching Sesame Street. No they didn't take any of those routes though. They actually embraced his death and turned it into a 5 minute segment to teach kids about death. I wasn't born in 83, so I never really could feel anything for a character I never saw or knew. I went looking for that scene a few years back just to watch it. The scene caused me to cry. It was packed with such emotion and realism that I have never seen before in a kids show. The most amazing part about the scene was Big Bird actually went through some of the stages of grief. He got mad that Mr. Hooper was gone. He got scared and of course he finally accepted it. This scene was very adult and mature especially since they could have sugarcoated it and the kids of then would have been none-the-wiser until they grew up and looked for what ever happened to Mr. Hooper. http://www.huffingtonpost.com... The only technical death scene in MLP had the three child characters sing over a funeral. They also made a joke about "this one is too old". That is something you would expect a young kid to do. MLP can't handle the big issues, but a "baby" show such as Sesame Street can, and it doesn't stop there. Due to the fact we don't live in Africa I won't bring up the puppet that has aids since that is only a African thing. I will bring up one of the newest puppets. It was a puppet that is impoverished. This is another mature issue that the show has brought up. It is especially good because poverty is something a lot of kids can relate to in these times. There are kids who live in families that may have to go days without necessities such as food or clean clothes. Sesame Street realized this and did a segment on this issue as well. Again this is coming from a show that is usually teaching colors, numbers, and letters. http://insidetv.ew.com... My little pony: Friendship is magic has never shown any character(s) that have to face hunger or go without a certain need because they don't have the money or "bits" to buy it. The characters in the show clearly have jobs. Good ones in fact. Rarity makes clothes that are usually sold to other famous or wealthy characters. Pinkie works in a bakery and lives there as well. Twilight who is now a princess lives in library, but who has ever heard of a poor princess? Applejack has mentioned on a few occasion that she needed money to help her grandmother. Yet her grandmother seems to move just fine without that money and she probably even has a monopoly on the towns apple supply since she does own the only apple farm for miles. I am pretty sure if that is the case she makes plenty of money to take care of herself as well as her family. Rainbow Dash lives in a big house in the clouds and works for the weather. Fluttershy is the only character that seems to be poor, but even she can waste money to buy her pet a special dinner. None of the characters have ever really experienced what it is like to go without something important. The show itself can't even acknowledge death and has canceled a episode about child abandonment. They even are afraid of acknowledging characters with disabilities (Derpy doesn't count FYI). Yet it is supposed to be a mature show? It isn't even more mature than a show for "babies" that only teaches kids basic things. Yet that baby show has no problem going into death and poverty something MLP will probably never even touch with a ten foot pole.. My little pony: Friendship is Magic is not mature, but Sesame Street is. I always find that funny.
