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!

@Luminosity: Because of morality, character behavior, and technology, among other things.

Actually, I happen to think that episode's plot blew ass as well. Just wondered if it's for the same reasons.

And then there are those who disagree. Like myself.

I confess that the episode had problems, but there are still nine episodes I like less and I've rewatched and enjoyed my least favourite multiple times.

Well I've just come back and I think I've had a better evening than last tuesday's fiasco played a bit of pool even though I suck at the game and that was about it.

The villains being real doesn't mean everypony must automatically assume the book depicts them 100% accurately.

It's a lot simpler to assume the villians don't exist at all either.

Let's put it this way. Which do you think is more likely? That Harry Potter isn't real, but Voldemort actually is real and just isn't that evil/foiled by someone else. Or that it's entirely fictional?

I don't think that comparison really works at all. Equestria is a magic land filled with myths and dangerous creatures and such. Our world is distinctly not magic.

Just because Vlad Tepes is real, doesn't mean Simon Belmont is.

Wait, you're saying Voldemort isn't real? Pfft, right. Next you'll be telling me Hogwart's isn't a real school, either!

In my opinion, the issue of Daring Do being real becomes more and more of a headscratcher the more I think about it.

Really, MMDW isn't polarizing per se. The vast majority of the fandom admits that it's one of the weaker episodes; they just differ as to why. The reason it's so infamous is because it was one of the first episode that didn't have a generally positive reception. Yeah, every previous episode had a minority who didn't care for it, but this was one of the first times that the general reception was "yeah, that wasn't as great".

Episodes like MMC are far more polarizing in the sense that some people really like it and others really don't.

I'd say that could have been the first divided episode, particularly the moral. Which is the one episode of that season I donn't enjoy.

I liked Feeling Pinkie Keen, but when the creators admit they botched the moral a bit.
