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.

     Original OP text 
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 am now super into this Normal Norman dude and I wanna see him as a pony.

I'm thinking his name might be 'Calming Influence'.

Yeah, I'm guessing that stuff like the Windigos and Changelings were named solely for the pun rather than because of the mythological similarities. And it's not like doing that is new, either; Dracula basically invented a bunch of vampire lore out of whole cloth, and modern zombies bear little resemblance to the voodoo concepts they originated from.

Anyway, I have to get to sleep now.

Medival vampires were more like zombies anyway.

"Changeling" Is such a vague, yet appropriate name, you can't really call that one altering the myth as, it's just a basic descriptive name.

Windigoes, while altered, have some similarity. Winter spirits that come out in times of strife. Just, without the whole cannibalism thing.

Ahui, pretty much a good take. Though without the obsession with eating finger bones.

Cereberus, spot on.

And "Normal Norman" Is a background non-pony from EGQ who looked the most, well normal, of any character. Regular human skin and hair color.

re: Vampires That's one of the great things about Dresden Files. How it manages to use all the different takes on vampires with the different courts.

I think if they kept all the mythology references accurate, the show would get a bit too dark for the target audience.

you know, I just realized. This episode is like the best thing ever to lure in curious people who are still on the fence about watching the show.

"So yeah, Princess Twilight and Princess Cadance had to fight a giant sandworm so they could cure the sick avatar of chaos."

Yeah, I'm always on the fence about his style though. His ponies fall squarely into Ugly Cute.

I... would be inclined to remove the cute from that statement, myself, but okay.

There are many words I would use to descrive that picture, but cute is not among them.

Wow, I just discovered just how many Hi E and Alien in Equestria fics there are on fimfic. And I thought I was being original. I mean I still am being original but it's not quite as unique as I expected.
