I'm not gonna spoil anything, but in the end I liked it (except for the goddamn Wilhelm scream).

If you used to like something that you don't anymore, you use "liked".
Just so you know.

You're wrong. That's not how that word is used, Simon. If you're going to be picky at least get it right.
He liked it at that point, doesn't mean he doesn't currently like it. It means he enjoyed it at that time and would probably enjoy it again. "Liked" is mostly used for one-time events; I -liked- the museum, meaning I enjoyed the time I was at a museum. "Like" is generally used for nonspecific objects rather than certain times; I -like- museums, meaning I generally enjoy museums. No specific museum (although I could say I -like- a certain museum) and not a specific museum trip. If he liked something that he doesn't like now, he would've said "I used to like".
E:
Let me try to explain it clearer, as I don't think my explanation was clear enough:
"I Liked"
This is used to denote that you enjoyed a particular event, such as a visit to somewhere or a certain episode of a TV show, for example.
For example:
I liked the museum.
This sentence implies that I enjoyed a certain trip to a museum, but it does not imply that I enjoy all museums.
"I Like"
This is used to denote an enjoyment of a certain type of thing.
For example:
I like museums.
-or-
I like horror movies.
These sentences imply that this hypothetical "I" enjoys horror movies and museums in general. It does not imply that I enjoy all horror movies and all museums, however.
Movies are an interesting case. "I liked" and "I like" can be used in subtly different manners and still be correct when referring to an individual movie (whereas one would use "I like" if referring to movies in general; "I liked" would be used if you used to like movies in general but no longer do). If he said "I liked Equestria Girls" and if he said "I like Equestria Girls", they would both have essentially the same meaning, only varying slightly in the context they would be used in. However, "I liked Equestria Girls" would be the most common of the two by far. If Equestria Girls was a series, the latter would be used more often and the former would imply that you used to like it. Equestria Girls is not a series, however.
"I used to like" is easily the most commonly used past tense variant of the verb "like". "I liked" does not necessarily imply solely past enjoyment; "I used to like" does.

Sometimes I really, really, really hate this fandom.
itroitnyah wrote:I think that if you continue to generalize the fandom like that, you will. It's not that bronies are suddenly changing their minds, it's that a different crowd of bronies is expressing their opinions when others are not. There are certainly people who, after EqG, are glad that Twi's relationship with Flash won't continue, they're just not as expressive about that as much as the bronies who were mad that EqG wouldn't influence S4 before EqG weren't heard. It's sorta like a reverse. If not this, then perhaps it has a lot to do with how you can't determine everything in a movie through the commercials, so bronies didn't know much about what would be happening or how interactions between Twi and Flash would play out, and afterwards they realized that it was better than they thought. If the latter is correct, then you can continue to really really hate the fandom sometimes, lol.
So you mean ponyfagsNine Volt wrote:The thing is that it's not just one loud minority. There's overlap between a lot of them, but there are numerous distinct loud minorities and they are the reason so many people hate the fandom. You know those guys who go around putting ponies everywhere or talking about them all the time, usually when it's not appropriate? They're the reason the fandom is hated, and truth be told they may not even be a small minority. A minority, probably, but a large one. I believe there's even a term for that 'stage', but if there is it escapes me. You all know what I'm talking about though.
e:
^If none of that makes sense/is relevant it's because I'm tired
Um, no, we're talking about how minority groups within the fandom will express their opinions and make the biggest ruckus and make us all look like idiots. And then 9V brought up how, on the subject, how newer bronies and the really bad bronies, or ponyfags as I call them, are generally the ones who bring up the type of ruckus that makes us all look like idiots.eery wrote:Yeezuz, you're really not gonna start that whole "Im a TRUE brony, this is what we call the BAD ones." are you? What are you gonna claim next? "I dont like the word brony, it makes it feel like it defines me, Im just a pony fan!"
There is no need for this difference to claim yourself and your stances and takes on things better than others.
Also, get the fuck back on track, we're discussing girly humanhorses and their dicks.
