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

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!

Princess Celestia is the only pony within the same size range as a horse.
How tall were the Saddle Arabians?

@Swas: A good bit shorter than Celestia. They look more like horses though.

Oh yes one thing you'll find is there are people that will analyze every, single, frame, to figure stuff like his out. I'm not kidding there is someone who compared, pixel per pixel pretty much, the aize of the average pony, to an apple, to come up with that size. Then the show gives us an ACTUAL measurement, and a pony standing next to it, yup someone did the math, and worked out about even with the apple thing.

Oh and then there is the person who did a full science project/lecture for school on exactly how and why RD is a physics defying badass, and Equestrian butterflies must be composed of dark matter. With math to back it up.

Random question. Apparently one of the CCG cards officially named one of the Wonderbolts as Surprise?

But I'm wondering how they were ble to get away with that. I thought the reason Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie rather than Surprise was that they didn't have the rights to any of the characters Lauren originally envisioned, other than Applejack.

I have a message from another time...

There's been a number of things that have been heavily analyzed to get the size of the ponies, from apples, to random animals, to 8 foot candy canes. The results seem to be pretty consistently in the 3 and a half to 4 foot range.

Different trademarks and laws for toys, show characters, or cards or whatever else. All have their own set of legal red tape, so what they could get away with in the cards, they might not for the show.

Yeah, we take things to far a LOT.

In other news, I was looking at a job posting. There aren't a lot of strict requirements to get the position in terms of experience, and the pay scale is based on whatever qualifications you provide. It's an executive assistant job, basically a fancy/important clerical position. And I think I could do it.

The problem is it requires FIVE professional references. I've never seen a job require that many before. I don't have that many, so I can't even apply. Darn it.

I do wonder about that. I'm fairly certain they got Firefly's trademark back. So maybe just maybe hasbro is reclaiming some of it's g1 pony names?

Seraphem Since: Oct, 2009
#33563: Dec 29th 2013 at 7:10:15 PM

Just fake some, over state how important the reference is, use some people you just know, but give it a try.

[up]Not for a TV show usage they didn't, Joss Whedon isn't letting that one go easily. And yeah he's the one that owns the TM for "Firefly" in a TV show.

If I can contact some of my coworkers from my last job I MIGHT be able to pull this off by the deadline. But I'm not sure I can contact them.

[up][up]I'm pretty sure there is a difference between a character named Firefly and an entire show named Firefly in terms of copyright.

Not as far as trademark cares, all they care about is the word. Not what it's being used for. Also, it was an in show thing as well, not just the title.

I'm pretty sure that Joss Whedon has nothing to do with the trademark over Firefly's name.

#33568: Dec 29th 2013 at 7:29:34 PM

That's why so many ponies have random shit added to their name for the toys, or when given an 'official' name, despite another name being used in a lot of other stuff. They need to find a version they can trademark easily. hence why, while Bon-bon is used in all the licensed stuff, since that has it's own rules. Any official stuff refers to her as Sweet Drops or something like that. And Trixie got a last name.

Short version, US trademark and copyright laws are a massive, bloated, mess that no one really understands.

Hmm.

Is there a list of public domain MLP character names somewhere? Like, old names that fell out of use and haven't been snatched up by anyone else?

So I was flying over Sweet Apple Acres the other day and a good part of the trees looked wrecked. You guys might have had a better point of view; what happened down there?

Rainbow Dash was practicing stunts again.

She really is Parian, isn't she.

AJ completely shattered that record.

Eh, Discord beat her to it back in Ro H.

Yeah... pity Twi lost them one episode later. From the sheer volume of Twi-with-wings fanart, it's clear the fans loved that development. Oh well.

Where's that reaction image of Link covering his mouth?

By the way, I loved Pinkie Pie's intro in that last one. Bats! Bats!

Strangely apropo too.
