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 think one way Dashie's initial not-choice was different was because she was trying to dodge any responsibility associated by her choice by making it look as though it was out of her control. She felt that making a decision was too hard, so she wanted to look as though she couldn't.
In The Ticket Master, to contrast, Twilight made it clear what she was doing, and why. Showing that she was choosing to give up her own spot if any other choice meant unfairly favoring any one of them.
I guess the point would have been better worded as one about responsibility.
I have a message from another time...@Irish Zombie: They could have just done the film in a fake-documentary style, or focus on a few particular events mentioned in the book, or even have it be an anthology film instead. Heck, why did the movie even need to be called World War Z? You could have changed the title and literally else nothing about the film would have been changed. It's really hard to look at it as a movie that just takes place in the same world as the book when the zombies are completely different. Half of the zombie scenes in the film were just plain Narm too.
@Story: When I said that, I was talking about World War Z and your question about it. But yeah, that sounds really stupid.

Well I don't know enough about World War Z to say anything about it.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayAll I know is just the trailer of it scared me more than every episode of attack on Titan combined. No thank you.
I'm gonna hit the hay. See you all tomorrow.

Yes, but then her voice and her appearance got changed.

It could all lead up to the finale, where it turns out that Derpy has secretly been engineering all events to achieve the best outcome. And she has a really epic voice.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectBased on my totally plausible theory, Derpy didn't drop that flag by accident.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectSo, the fandom loved Derpy's appearance in the last episode. What I find strange is that they love this, yet there was a fair amount of complaints of pandering (Which is for some reason inherently bad) on the episode before that due to the reference to the Twi-licious meme, which was started by Tara Strong anyway! I genuinely don't understand why that had complaints, yet I saw none for Derpy's appearance, which was arguably more pandery!
(I'm not saying I didn't like either, by the way. I just find this strange.)
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.There really is no rationale for anything when it comes to stuff like this, seemingly.

Tara has said this line before, yah?

Some folks are just using these references as another symbol for everything they think is wrong with the show. It's probably easier to say 'pandering' than to actually explain WHY these references ruin the show in any capacity.

Gets worse, actually. The original short story collection had a different title in mind and the title was originally for another short story collection by Eando Binder, but Asimov's publishers insisted on it.
