A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I think the last episode I watched was the one where Maud and Pinkie and Rarity went to Manehattan.

Anyway to put in my own two cents on World War Z I think that the one place the movie was better than the book was is how the zombies moved. There they weren't a shambling horde, they were a freaking tidal wave that was basically unstoppable once it got rolling. That I think would have overwhelmed the US military realistically.

Spice Up Your Life, Flutter Brutter, Applejack's Day Off, The Saddle Row Review and Newbie Dash all seem to be episodes with morals unambiguously targeting young adults, with lest applicability to youth life than adult life.

They still do have applicability to younger audiences, but they were all framed in terms of real world problems adults face: marketing and product management, getting a job, workplace efficiency, managing a team under time pressure, and working in a military style team.

Once again, if he put in his notice, and they let him slip out right then, so Dash could have her first show be a small, no stakes event in her hometown to both help her deal with any possible 'I'm flying with the Wonderbolts" nerves, and also help her better deal with any newbie screw ups she makes due to them, it makes perfect sense.

Warmistress Of Equestria, The Starry-Maned One, Nightcandle, Bodhisattva Anointed In Dark Dreams, The Silver Princess, Nightreaver, The Queen Of Dreams That Terrify, Devouring Dark
Half of those sound like Touhou character titles. The other half sound like spellcard names.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

I'm kind of surprised at how many thread regulars there are who aren't watching the show as it airs.

[up]x3 That's not usually how that works in real life. Giving a notice several weeks before you retire is customary, which gives time to train the replacement. But Equestria could be different. They do have different cultural norms than we do

[up] Well, to be fair, the airtime is pretty inconvenient for a lot of people

How is "About two hour after it airs, anytime you want to watch it just pop on you tube" inconvenient?

But I do wonder is their airtime is affecting their ratings at all. 11:30 AM on a Saturday is an odd time. It's a pretty inconvenient time, and being halfway through the hour probably eliminated a lot of the passive viewers

It is if you work nights and Saturdays are the only day you realistically have to run a week's worth of errands, yes.

Moreso if you have your own creative projects and a tendency to work obsessively. Frankly, the entire concept of 'watching' is a bit inconvenient for me at this point.

I usually watch it on Youtube an hour or two later on Saturdays.

i haven't been keeping up with episodes either. I'll watch them all once they appear on Netflix, but I've been too busy to catch them before Hasbro takes them off of You Tube.

I've actually been watching them as they air this season, which is something I haven't done since season 3. I kind of lost track of seasons 4 and 5, and marathoned most of them right before the season 5 finale. It feels good to be back in the action again

Unless you have a Neilson box hooked up to your TV, it don't mean shit if you watch it or not when it airs.

Haven't members of the crew all but confirmed that ratings mean exactly jack in comparison to toy sales anyway?

[up] This too, but again, if you don't have a Neilson box, you don't affect the ratings in any way. Also rating as BS to begin with.

Also also..... this IS me toning down the swearing.

[up][up]If that were true, hasbro would release the show on youtube itself. It would collect the ad revenue from the online audience.

[up]Well they're releasing Legends of Everfree on Netflix first, so they're definitely aware of where their audience is.

I feel compelled to point out that the show is, you know, aimed at kids, so putting it on a Saturday morning does make some sense.

They do, you just have to pay to watch it. And it's like a season behind. They could also be a LOT more hard assed about taking down new eps when they are put up too.

The whole "Saturday morning cartoons" thing is almost like a Dead Horse Trope. I work with kids (elementary and middle school age), and most of them are actually busy during that time (sports, extra-curriculars, etc) Kind of unfortunate, because Saturday morning cartoons are a classic.
