(33,688 posts)At least the latest generation, Friendship is Magic. It's a smart, funny, well-written and beautifully animated show with just enough snark. I am a proud fan of the show and have identified as a brony for more than two years, probably the oldest brony in The Herd - though it must be said I am a lifelong animation geek.
Like some other past cartoons, and I think particularly here of Rocky and Bullwinkle, there are many, many jokes in MLP-FIM that are designed for the parents and other adults in the audience that fly miles over the heads of the kids who are the primary, but not exclusive, intended audience.
Creator Lauren Faust said she wanted to create a show that could entertain all ages, including parents who watched it with their kids, while having worthwhile morals-to-the-story for the little ones and she definitely succeeded. The show has several million adult fans around the world and the creativity of the fandom is rather amazing.
IOW, don't worry.
