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.

Some of them do.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectThe thing is, I can actually see a decent case being made for why it's a bad thing, or at least not ideal. Too much self-awareness like that and it can pull you out to the experience of the show itself. If the show addressed the audience too much, it can damage the suspension of disbelief a bit. Though of course every person is different there.
It could also be argued that it damages the show to those without context. Like, the Derpy Moment was treated as kind of big by the show itself - there was practically a fanfare when she entered the room, and yet she left the episode without a single line. It's possible, though I obviously can't say for sure, that without context of who she was that scene would feel... kind of odd. Not terrible, since in-episode her arrival was kinda day-saving.

Man, we're that far along already? Where does the time go.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!Sockpupptes are still around?
I need ask Wind Whistler question when she will be present.

Also this blog is hilarious.
@kegi: It is a reasonable concern, but they haven't gone off that cliff yet. Apple-licious is funny even without the meme. And Derpy, as long as she's a background thing, can just be a fun easter egg for kids to catch.
As long as someone can make a good case for why a particular reference ruins something or directly affects the storytelling, that's fine by me.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectYeah, I agree entirely. It just bothers me that there is a legitimate concern, even if I don't agree with it, that nobody ever bothers to bring up when that subjects crops up.

The Skype chat is now the pony thread lake-side holiday house.
Because Derpy was better integrated into the episode? I think even if you're not familiar with the memes, it would make perfect sense, while the Applelicious thing still felt a bit jarring and out of place.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayUmm... *for no reason whatsoever puts sunglasses on and looks away from everyone* Don't... mind me.
The sparkle is gone, see me shimmer on~Well you were the villian, and not a very cool one either. W Hy would you expect love?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYou know, it could probably be argued that everybody being hostile to LD was the reason she became so obnoxious on this thread. Maybe we could try not being terrible to the villain who actually showed signs of reform at the end of her movie?

What episode is season four on now?
