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!

Or is all of that so secret...

Maybe it is, though you'd think the coronation would have changed things.

Yeah, though the series wouldn't be very interesting if it was just the cast getting mobbed by fans everywhere they go.

It worked for Harry Potter.

I am, at that. Freekin' G2 got one, and G3 a line of DS and GBA games. though to be fair I've heard Friendship gardens is actually a fairly decent raising sim game.

@JT: Your right that the show wouldn't be very interesting if the mane 6 kept constantly getting mobbed by adoring fans due to their fame. However, I would love to see an episode about that, because it would probably be funny.

@Starscream: Out of curiosity, how much of Beast Wars have you seen?

#32008: Dec 24th 2013 at 12:58:45 PM

@Marston Ah well probably roughly about season 1 or so last time I checked. It's been a while since I've seen Beast Wars.

On the subject of th mane cast's fame- yeah, I don't get it either. IN ponyville you could maybe excuse it by everyone knowing them well and being used to it. If you live in Hollywood I doubt you'd freak out over seeing a celebrity at a restaurant or something like that. OUT of ponyville though, I have no idea. There's no way they don't know, at least in canterlot. Maybe in really far away places they don't know about them, but anywhere else, if they say who they are you'd think they would've recognized and treated differently.

[up]Double Post.

@Starscream: Well believe it or not, the show actually get's even better near the end of the first season and carrying on to Season 2. It's also without a doubt my favorite Transformers show of all time, and I'm not even speaking from a nostalgic view point since I first watched the series almost a year ago.

@Marston Well it is the season of good tidings so seeing as I'm on holiday I'll make it my mission to rewatch Beast Wars only this time, all the way through. Beast Wars Megatron for the win, baby! Yessssss!

I find it hard to believe that no one apparently cares about meeting people who have saved the entire country MORE THAN ONCE.

Well, they haven't really been to many places. Also, anyone notice Canterlot just keeps getting easier and easier to go too?

In the pilot, Rarity speaks of dreamily wanting to go there and asks twilight about the place, they go from time to time on the train which seems relatively quickly and in season 2 stop by everyh other episode, and in Princess Twilight it's reduced to a simple flight. Then of course, we get the Crusaders who are around 13 traveling all the way to the northern end of Equestria on a freaking scooter in less than a day.

Of course it's all just Traveling at the Speed of Plot, but still.

It would make sense that access is easier after they built a direct train route. But the flight and scooter things didn't really make any sense. Though to be fair, the pegasi flew from Canterlot to Ponyville in the pilot, so it's not like it's impossible.

Is anyone else surprised that they have yet to create a My Little Pony video game based on the current series? Not counting the mobile game of course.

I'm actually not surprised. Who would make and/or publish a "AAA" My Little Pony game? The only studio that comes to my mind off the top of my head that might be cool with doing a MLP game (other than Way Forward, who've expressed interest in doing one in the past) is High Moon Studios, and that's just because they've already had a good working relationship with Hasbro doing some great Transformers games, and the Deadpool game was completely in character even if the gameplay was kinda average. They know how to work with a license. High Moon is owned by Activision though, would they see the profitability of a MLP game? Transformers at least has guns, action, and explosions you can market to the stereotypical gamer. I don't see Activision taking a risk with MLP.

Speaking of games, have anyone played Long Live The Queen? I'm wondering if it's any good. I'm afriad to read much about it due to the spoiler warnings on the trope page.

I have beaten it. It's amazing.

Well, couldn't they make a platformer game for FIM? Kind of like Adventure Ponies, except A: Better graphics, B: Much longer, C: Being able to play as any of the mane 6 from the start instead of having to unlock each one, and D: Having actual enemies besides the Boss Fights.

Yeah, it isn't like I'm expecting a AAA game for MLP, but a decently funded platformer wouldn't be out of the question.

@Ike: Given how often the country is in peril, stuff like that probably happens all the time to the point where saving the world is only mildly notable. I mean, Daring Do has probably saved the world half a dozen times at least, and most ponies don't even know that she's real.

Teeth- and that's another issue I have a problem with, but let's not have that debate again.
