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!

I don't think more than a handful of fans care who holds the title "prince of bronies".

If I cared, I'd argue that John De Lancie holds the title, seeing as he created a documentary about the show and the fandom.

What kind of conspiracy theories would ponies believe in?

Celestia was secretly responsible for Nightmare Moon (like we're supposed to just take her word for it on everything?).

[up]Alternatively, Celestia is Nightmare Moon. The fact that she was seen fighting her does not matter.

I actually want Andrew WK to guest on the show. In fact, him, Weird Al and Pinkie Pie could be together for one awesome episode.

[up][up][up]Nightmare Moon was a magic experiment that went terribly wrong, and the moon thing was just a coverup.

[up]Nightmare Moon never actually went to the moon. That was all done on a film set.

It would be hilarious if, considering all the bizarre creatures in Equestria, Bigfoot STILL isn't real.

The Chaos Years were an inside job. That statue our new princesses call "Discord"? My, what a convenient scapegoat.

And what exactly did the princesses do during that alleged military action against "Sombra"? Who was the real target? Because there's no evidence that this "Crystal Empire" ever existed, and we know an Empire can't just disappear overnight.

So, as I mentioned earlier, there's something I kind of want to rant about. It has barely anything to do with ponies {And the only reason why it remotely involves them is because of something else I'll mention}, but it's been on my mind a lot and I want to get it off my chest. It's not like a RL thing or anything that's causing stress {It's something that happened in a fictional work involving Executive Meddling.}, but it is something really annoying. Given that you guys have all ranted about stuff before, mind if I do the same?

@Meta Four: They initiated the Chaos Years so they could solidify their grip on power by creating a false enemy to 'free' us from.

[up]Oh, totally. Everyone knows that.

Mental image: He actually means the Count.

[up]Well, they had a dogfight in the middle of a city back in the day. And failing that, Twi saw them. tongue

Fair enough.tongue I just know that lots of people get tired of ranting, especially since I in particular do it a lot.

Well it would impart momentum. Probably not very much, but if he's not in a hurry, he'll escape eventually.

According to this page, a .44 magnum with 240grain load has a recoil of 21.9fps and a weight of 3lbs. Assuming a human weights 130 pounds, that means that the imparted velocity will be about 0.5 feet / second. So not super fast, but it will get him there in a couple of seconds. Note that this is a pretty powerful gun, others will be a bit slower.

Edit: D'arvit!

What kind of conspiracy theories would ponies believe in?

  • Daring Do being real.wink
  • Princess Celestia being secretly behind the creation of Nightmare Moon, the changeling attack on Canterlot, and King Sombra's rule over the Crystal Empire.
  • various ponies being kidnapped and replaced by changelings a la Skrull Invasion.
  • Zecora using subtle mind control spells as part of a much grander scheme to take over Ponyville.
  • Princess Cadence still being a changeling.

i got a million of these.

I actually can't see the ponies having conspiracy theories that center around Celestia, at least not based on what we've seen of the world so far. I don't think we've ever seen a pony be anything but perfectly respectful towards her.
