I genuinely enjoyed Sofia the First more than ANY other "modern" Disney TV series.

I know Cedric/Sofia is the default ship, but I feel like Sofia/Amber/James is cute too.

the First of what?

>>149161451
Of her name.

>>149161417 (OP)
I've only seen snippets of it here and there. What is the appeal of the show?

>>149161639
Sofia's political machinations to keep Enchancia from falling into civil war.

>>149161639
>What is the appeal of the show?
if youre a 5 year old girl you can identify with her
if youre a 35 year old man you can want to fuck her

>>149161639
>POV: You are Cedric
>30+ yr old failed sorcerer, hugless kissless virgin

>all your childhood friends are married with children
>your sister (who also hates you) is married with a kid
>you're 99% sure that the only reason you're still employed as the kingdom's sorcerer is so everyone (including the king) can mock you on a daily basis
>you contemplate suicide every hour of every day
>suddenly the king gets married to yet another woman
>"great I'm sure he's gonna rub it in my face like everything else"
>the new queen apparently has a child already
>in order to win over her affection, the king gives his stepdaughter a gorgeous, jeweled necklace
>you happen to see her wearing it one day as she passes you in the hall
>"wait, haven't I seen that somewhere before?"
>you go back to your disgusting cramped wizard cave and sift through a grimoire
>turns out the necklace is a super powerful magical artifact called the "Amulet of Avalor" that had been hidden away for time immemorial
>"oh shit, I need to steal that thing asap!"
>you try to steal it
>you fail
>you try again
>you fail again
>third time's the charm
>nope, third consecutive failure
>you can't even accomplish a simple task like stealing a necklace from an elementary school-aged girl
>you are literally on the verge of suicide, about to pull the trigger
>suddenly you hear a knock at the door
>it's the king's stepdaughter, Sofia
>the amulet hanging around her neck seems to taunt you with every glimmer
>"Oh hi Mr. Seedric. Can you please help me learn this spell for magic class?"
>the bitch not only taunts you with the amulet, but she has the audacity to mispronounce your name time after time
>well, maybe you can manage to steal it while she has her guard down
>you postpone your suicide and make her your apprentice temporarily

[Part 2 of 2]

>>149161704
Sofia’s not his biological daughter? Huh. I always assumed her and Amber were real sisters.

>>149161417 (OP)
we could’ve had a meaningful thread but you just had to use _this_ image, didn’t you anon?

>>149161639
it’s strangely hopeful and optimistic. you’d think you’d get tired of sofia’s positive attitude all the time but she’s so sincere you can’t help but like her. i also like how she has just a bit more attitude post-elena special and she can afford to be a little more snippy and sick of everyone’s shit. no one else ever points that out though.

>>149161704
>>149161723
Holy autism. Screencapped for posterity.

>>149161759
What is wrong with the image I used?

>>149161723
This is extremely wholesome <3

>>149161833
>what’s wrong with the image of an 8 y/o girl flashing her panties?
gee i dunno…

any thoughts on the upcoming spin-off series? me personally i wish the show was aged-up for disney channel or disney+ but i know that’s just wishful thinking.

>>149161639
Show for 5 year old girls and lolifags.

>>149161680
And if you're a fujo, you talk about how much you ship Cedric and Sofia together.

>>149161833
Head's too big.

>>149161887
What series?

>>149161854
Go easy on him, there's all sorts of stories of blind spots, only saw half, and it looked OK in the thumbnail.

>>149161704
>>149161723
So, it's basically a show for comforting incels? I thought this was supposed to be some cringe feminist-pandering shit? Seems more based than I thought.

>>149161639
>>149161680
>>149161897
The show is legitimately competent. It's a good cartoon. Which is very rare for cartoons for little kids, and little girls especially. Wildfire, My Miniature Horse and this are the only good little girl shows to the point where an adult can enjoy them I can name off the top of my head.

>>149161887
I hope they don't age up Sofia. There's been continuations series that just don't keep the vibe that keeps viewers or even fans of the first series.
I'd rather Sofia the series remain itself and not fall off a cliff into "Monster High, where everything has to be magical monsters and puns" or "transcription of bratty highschool girls being horrible to people".

>>149161723
>"What the fuck am I supposed to do?"
You're supposed to fuck her, idiot. No wonder you're still a virgin.

>>149161944
>I hope they don't age up Sofia.
Same.

>>149161900
>https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Sofia_the_First:_Royal_Magic
>The series follows Sofia as she attends The Charmswell School for Royal Magic, where princes and princesses from across the EverRealm will continue their royal studies and also learn all types of magic.[3] During her time at Charmswell, Sofia discovers she is the most magical princess in the realm and must learn how to master her powers while making new royal friends.[1][2]

>>149161704
>>149161723
Is the sorcerer guy a focus in most episodes? Or does he only show up occasionally?

>>149161993
10 bucks says they introduce an alpha bitch rival and a love interest her own age.

>>149162025
but that’s cedric’s role :( disney junior doesn’t do romance anyway

>>149162004
most episodes i’d say

>>149162004
He shows up ALOT. More often than not iirc. There are still a good chunk of episodes without him, but he is by far the most prominent character aside from Sofia herself.

>>149162025
Cucking Cedric would be too cruel.

>>149161704
>>149161723
This guy seriously needs a therapist.

>>149162146
But it'd be funny if Sofia was married off to some horse lord and they all had to watch them consummate the marriage under the open sky.

>>149161933
>>149161944
It would be pretty cool if the show was aged up (as in they made it for a slightly older audience), while Sofia herself remains the same age.

>>149161931
It's just like FiM in that regard.

>>149161854
She wasn't flashing her panties in that picture. It was someone else lifting up her skirt.

>>149162260
yeah that’s what i meant in my first post >>149161887
sofia was 11 (?) by the time the show ended (the wiki says she was 14 in the elena ending, but there’s no source for that). that’s around the disney channel demographic age, i think. around same age as some other protagonists on the channel like dipper and phineas and shit. i just think it would be cool.

>>149161417 (OP)
i didnt, shit sucked

>>149161748
Did you ever watch this show? It's like the first thing mentioned. Heck every time the theme song plays you even get a reminder.

>>149161417 (OP)
>more than ANY other "modern" Disney TV series.
Well, that's not exactly a high bar to cross, OP. I know the immediate kneejerk reaction you're expecting is "woah a preschool show is your favorite modern Disney show? NO WAY!" But in actuality when you asses all the notable modern Disney shows as an unbiased level-headed viewer, it paints a pretty clear picture:
>Star vs The Forces of Evil
Complete Trash

>Gravity Falls
Overrated as shit

>Owl House
An atrocious abomination

>Amphibia
The worst of the bunch

>Wander over Yonder
Uninspired crap

^ I could go on but you get the picture. We've been getting nothing but Flash trash woke slop for the past decade, so it's not surprising that the one show which bucks those trends is your favorite. Sofia is nothing particularly special, it's just better than the competition by a country mile. (Which is sad as fuck, might I add)

>>149161704
>>149161723
Well, now I know why grown men like it, but that doesnt explain why all these Japanese women are so obsessed with it.

>>149163971
Japanese woman self insert as Sophia because they fantasize about being little girls in relationships with older men.

>>149163971
the grown men self-insert into cedric. women self-insert as sofia.

>>149161704
>>149161723
Cute and canon. Lolis save lives.

Cedfia is a good ship and I say that as someone who doesn't self insert, they developed genuine care and affection for one another and I want to see them happy. I'm more of an Amber guy anyway.

>>149164213
Every time she hugs him I melt inside a little. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzjbMBU_h80

>>149163891
>nothing but Flash trash woke slop for the past decade
Don't forget all those shows feature beanmouth too.

>>149163891
Isn't it a bit early for the contrarian Olympics to begin?

>>149161787
We've been starved for sincerity in entertainment media for the past 15-ish years, so it's no surprise how refreshing it is to witness something that doesn't fall victim to the whole "everything needs to be a quip, or a one-liner, or sarcastic, or a *wink wink* *nod nod* to the audience" trend.

The MCU films have had a devastating effect on pretty much everything in life. Take me back, bros...

>>149164395
Someone should make a hug compilation on Jewtube.

>>149161704
>>149161723
Reading this unironically gave me a boner. Why can't girls treat incels like this in real life?

>>149163891
>Amphibia
>The worst of the bunch
I like all those shows you mentioned, yet I still agree with this.

How would you like an aged up Sofia?

>>149161417 (OP)
I really appreciate the traditional "Whimsical Disney" feel the show has in spades. Castles, magic, mythical creatures, princesses, songs, the whole thing really just screams textbook Disney aesthetic. Some might find it generic, but what can I say. I guess I really like that classic vanilla-flavored Disney stuff.

>>149165528
Nah, I think alot of the appeal hinges around her being the age she currently is. And when I say "appeal" I mean for all the primary demographics who like the show, both adults and children. There's a sweet spot for marketing with her current age. I don't think an aged-up Sofia would have the same lucrative potential.

If they wanna make the show's subject matter a little more mature that would be pretty awesome though. Right now it feels "preschool" tier, so moving it up to "Y7" would be a pretty drastic breath of fresh air. After all, something like FiM managed to sell to little girls despite the show targeting a higher age demographic than past MLP generations.

>>149166850
Game of Disney Thrones?

>>149167389
LOLZIES

>>149166850
Imagine if she kneed him hard in the balls from that position?

>>149168739
That's Sofia's preferred contraceptive method <3

>>149168849
No, the other princesses taught her about the loophole.

>>149168849
>>149169391
I'm sure Enchancia can weather a few royal bastards.

>>149164395
i hope wormwood comes back in the spin-off. and that sofia tells his ass off.

>>149170279
Can you believe there are Amber/Wormwood shippers?

>>149170460
The Internet made me believe that everything exists.

>>149170537
I have proof if you want.

The initial controversy back when this show was announced was so fucking funny to me. Everyone was mad at the idea that a Hispanic girl could be white.

>>149161704
>>149161723
This should definitely appeal to your average 4channer
