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!

That and it would be kinda difficult; they don't really follow any particular set of characters; the action jumps around a lot and it isn't very centralized. It would be incredibly hard to film. It would be awesome, but still a huge pain to make.

Well the hobbit approach seems to be to grab random stuff out of the backstory to insert into films about unrelated books.

Incidently, I just realized that using good as the opposite of evil is problematic. What's the opposite of evilest? Best? Goodest?

@JT: Well, it could be made into a big TV Series of sorts, possibly.

Incidently, didn't Orson Scott Card say that he'd never give up the rights to Enders Game? Whatever happened to that?

He started to become irrelevant and needed a stronger voice so that people wouldn't just pass over his acidic homophobia as the insane drivel it is?

I just thought of which pony I would like to learn from. I would like to learn how to communicate even better with my dogs from Fluttershy. I think that I'm pretty good at it so far, but I'm sure there are things that she could teach me that I'm completely missing from what they're trying to tell me in their doggie language.

If earth ponies really can grow plants anywhere (I hope this gets proven) then an EP could turn the inside of a mansion into a literal jungle yes?

[up][up][up]Dunno about that, but he's not getting any royalties from the movie if I remember right.

I'm now okay with Daring Don't. I love how our fandom can make the stupidest ideas into something incredibly funny.

@CDRW: Not any royalties, no, but it does bring his name back into the public eye, which gives his essays more clout.

In theory anyways, since that movie was supposed to be pretty bad? A bad representation of his books won't help his case in the public eye at any rate.

[up] [up] [up] What's the story behind that one?

IMHO Card wasn't that amazing of a writer and most of his essays and philosophical messages were offensive.

@ Kegisak: I can't imagine he has any standing in the public eye anyway. I've never heard anyone say anything positive about him in any context other than they liked Ender's Game.

@ Dark: He sold the rights a long time ago for a fixed sum.

Well now, who else expects for good things out of Scootaloo's episode?

I'm really optimistic about it. I expect good things and some character development for Scoots.

I'm expecting bad things out of the episode, but I'm hoping that they mostly happen to Diamond Tiara.

I went an entire summer cooking like only 4 things. Of course one of them was chocolate chip pancakes.

@CDRW: Admittedly not, but in some cases bad press is still good press... the thing is that the more people talk about him, even in a negative light, the more chance there is his stuff will spread to someone who WILL read it, and who WILL be influenced.

Granted those people were probably kinda shitty people anyways, but even still.

Ah, that would explain it. It's kind of funny that he was worried about Holywood butchering it, and then they did pretty much exactly that.

Though the thought of Diamond Tiara as a closet weeaboo is hilarious.

Even though Weeaboo kind of precludes closeting by definition.
