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 this episode gave the Wonderbolts more characterization. They're highly competitive and clearly aren't above being a little ruthless, but they know when they're being jerks about it and can turn things around.

Thunderlane, your little brother is a badass. Why didn't he compete?

Not surprising. Even ponies gotta have NDA's.

Morning guys! Just gonna drop in and give my thoughts if I don't get another chance today:

  • I liked the way the Wonderbolts were handled

  • I liked Bulk too

  • Derpy Cameo, nailed it!

  • I now ship Fluttershy and Bulk and you guys can't stop me.

@Eagal: Not all of them wanted to participate? Some of them are tied up in other events/obligations?

Yeah, that's cool Thunderlane. Glad things went well! Think we'll be seeing you in the games themselves? OR is that still up in the air?

As it were?

[up]Yeah, the Twilight! Cheerleader outfit struck me too... I wonder if we'll see a new influx of fanart there? I expect to see plenty of Cheerleader Pinkie, anyhow.

Thunderlane, your mane there looked as metal as ever. Were you present when the stuff went down? At RD's decision and such?

@Kegi Haven't we got enough fanart of Juliet Starlight here? And I really didn't notice that was an actor allusion until I saw the comparison for it just now.

No. No, there is never enough Twilight Starling fanart.

Anyhow, I'm off for a shower now. This episode doesn't seem to have generated quite AS much discussion... pretty straightforward as far as episodes go, I guess.

A sane person might not take this episode as massive fuel for their Twidash ship, but that's not the kind of life I want to live.

@Thunderlane So Thunderlane, I've pretty much made up with Minty and I've seen you in the new episode for today, what are we gonna do now?

[up][up][up]The appearance of sockpuppets tends to negate all other conversation.

[up][up]I think Soarindash is likely the ship to get the biggest boost, maybe.

@Crowfall: There's also massive subtext for Flutterdash. Why else would Dashie stick to Fluttershy in her team despite the vast power level handicap?

@Mio: This is the episode where Dashie's Persona Protagonist-tier harem-building skills get a huge boost. OF COURSE she would support Ponyville, it's where her harem lives :V
