My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Live Reactions & Discussion)

@Thunders: You are just now learning about fan art?

@Orion Well he is new to this after all.

That one was me.

@Story Though to be fair I did offer my opinion on one of the book series ya mentioned so yeah.

If you want to know about more horrible books, I could write you a dissertation on The Inheritance Cycle. :P

@Wryte Didn't one of those books have a movie with Jeremy Irons? Eragon was it?

@Orion: What Starscream said.

So, how many of you have seen the Rainbow Power designs? The more I see them, the more certain I am of the sinking feeling that they're the results of that locked box.

The what?

These.

@Rainbow's Mane: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Well... that's certainly a unique look.

@Rainbow Power Display image (Jaw drops in shock) Oh.Sweet.Lord.

Man I take too long to edit:

Also, the thought has occurred to me several times, but I keep forgetting to vocalize it: Rarity should have been able to slam the door on Suri's plan to win by stealing her fabric simply by pointing out that Suri had no clue how to make the stuff. Even if Suri had won with Rarity's fabric, the sham would have come crashing down on her immediately when she needed to produce more items from the line and couldn't replicate the material that was the crux of the entire design.

Anyway, @Star, yes, the first book got an infamously bad movie adaptation with Jeremy Irons in it. Even the series' rabid fans didn't like it, as I recall, which is pretty impressive, because they're infamous for refusing to listen to any criticism whatsoever lobbed at the books.

Pretty sure this is a conversation for the spoiler thread.

e. Er...the Rainbow Power thing, not Rarity making Suri look like a fool. That would have been neat.

@Wryte Thought so I did hear something about a movie based on that particular book. I think maybe Spoony One did a text review of it once but I never really paid much mind to it nor have I even heard of that series.

EQD's not marking it as spoilers, and we all know how anal they are about that sort of thing. Right now, this is just speculation. Pretty sketchy speculation, at that.

One wonders how a group based on [insert antonym for harmony] can work together long enough to get anything done as a group.

Not related, but still amusing.

Eq D also didn't mark Discord getting a song at some point as a spoiler, so I don't really think that's a good measure to not at least spoiler mark something.

Suri Polomare.

I agree with those who have said that Rarity brings out the best in the writers. This was another solid Rarity episode, and maybe my favorite S4 episode so far. "Generosity" is (IMO) the first really catchy and memorable song of the season. Rarity gets the best songs, too, it seems.

Coco Pommel seems to be a new fan favorite. She deserves it. I hope we see more of her.

My only complaint is that Surly Whatever...Button Butt...didn't get her comeuppance on-screen. Oh well. She lost, her reputation is tarnished, and she's probably nothing without her right-hoof pony, Coco. I'm aight with this.

Well, Rarity's lying in Sweet and Elite never got addressed, so there's precedent. It's all a bit secondary to the actual point of the story, anyway.

Eh, the Rainbow Power things don't look that bad, and I doubt they're going to be permanent. Super Mode things tend to look a bit ridiculous.

Acording to the blog, Twilight is actually more badly written than Fifty Shades Of Grey, beleive it or not. OF course the later is bad for other reasons.

If so, I really hope they aren't permament.

@Story When a popular book series is even worse than a book that is trying to be erotic that's just as worse, should I be happy with this?

Honestly, they don't look that bad to me. Twilight and Rarity look kinda cool. Rainbow Dash looks a bit ridiculous, what with the Dragonball Z hair, but it really fits her character.
