MLP is really no different then EEnE. Just like EEnE they slip in a few references. And also, unlike other kids shows, instead of being brain dead Mary Sues, the mane six ponies and other characters are well rounded and have their own flaws.

For example;

Twilight Sparkle is very smart and good at magic. Although, she spends too much time studying and wants everything to be perfect.

Rarity is very generous and will design a dress for any pony. Even though her Element of Harmony is Generosity, at times she can be selfish and over dramatic.

Rainbowv Dash is the fastest pegasus pony around. But sometimes, even though her element is loyalty, she doesn't show consideration to other ponies slower or weaker than her like Fluttershy especially.

Fluttershy is very kind to ponies and other creature. Though she is very shy, soft spoken, and is a pushover most of the time. But when you make her really mad, like when you mess with her friends, she can turn into Flutterbitch.

Applejack is an pony who works on a farm. However, she can sometimes get very bossy and likes to do things on her own even if it's too much for her to handle.

Pinkie Pie is the life of the party; she has never thrown a party her friends didn't like. Although, she is downright insane and crazy. Nopony can ever take her seriously.
