My Little Po-Mo: Unauthorized Critical Essays on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season Four and Beyond

This is the journey from Crown to Kingdom.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic's fourth season did something few shows attempt: it explored what happens after the Hero's Journey is over. Once childhood ends and enlightenment is attained, what comes next? This collection of essays looks at how the show tries to answer that question, and the curious resonances that result between its attempts and two real-world mystical traditions, all connected by a crystal tree. Along the way, you might discover:

-How the show handles, and fails to handle, the possibility of queer kids
-Whether the show did right by its most important viewers, the little girls it was made for
-What the Cutie Mark Crusaders have to do with being trans
-Why we climb trees
-And much, much more!
