i have No interest for Mlp:FiM

i dont get how Mlp:FiM could have gotten so popular almost throughout the internet since 2011! ive only seen the first 3 seasons and for that the show lacks Originality not to mention that it is loosely based on a animated series from the 80s such as My Little Pony "Escape from Midnight Castle" if any of you have ever heard about it, Before FIM i remember that Happy Tree  Friends was a very popular cartoon series on the internet from 2007 until 2010 and yes it did have a little bit Originality. alot of people are just loving Mlp:FiM for no reason.  MLP:FIM is like the New HTF without the blood and being a mixture to the Powerpuff girls and Sailor Moon.
