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!

That's pretty much how I feel about it. There's nothing bad about the episode, but it just didn't have the kind of hook that a lot of the others did. Honestly, if it would've shaken up the status quo and given Scoots her CM at the end of the episode, it would have been one of my top picks.

I'm not sure what my least favorite episode in the season is, but I can say that I never want to discuss Bats! again.

Nothing to do with the episode itself, but rather how it affects discussions.

I have a message from another time...

They all come off way more one-note then ever. Pinkie.. this was the first time her antics ever made me just plain annoyed with her rather then made me laughed. Was it really required to have her scream nearly every line? And, I'm someone that doesn't think any other episode this season has had issues with dealing with Pinkie, this one, ehhhhhh.

AJ, her single minded obsession with shoving food down ponies mouths, and, only with that. Was there a single line where she didn't mention "My Apple brown Betties"? It was like she developed this odd feeder fetish.

Rarity. The least of the three, but even then, pulling out the horseshoe, in the middle of them practicing with it? Those 'uniforms' I could forgive her making something completely impracticable for competing in, since she's normally dealing with that stuff, but it was just hideous, even by 'fashion' standards.

Story- well, yes. I meant more specifically what kind of websites they are and what they're like.

After looking up reddit here on tvtropes I think I'm going to avoid it.

Favorites would be Rarity Takes Manehattan, Pinkie Apple Pie, and Daring Don't. Least favorite of the season would definitely be Castle-Mania.

[up]Eh, I didn't really think they were that bad considering how little screentime they had. How rounded the ponies are portrayed is directly proportional to how much screentime they have. In that episode they had so little screentime that they didn't have much depth. But honestly it didn't matter because they were side characters who didn't really influence the plot much anyway.

I can kinda see the issue with Rarity, but Pinkie was obviously in Cheerleader mode the whole time, which is completely in character for her, and let's face it, AJ might very well have a fetish for feeding other ponies.

I will say, I feel a bit better now that I vented out my rage on what happened in the Sonic archie comics, so for those who were here today when I did that, thanks for listening, and screw all of you who ignored me.tongue

No problem.

All I can really say is the comic book industry is complicated.

Yeah, no kidding. I heard that a very similar thing happened with DC comics New 52 reboot. I'm just glad that this won't happen with FIM or the other comic that I still read.

Yeah, it's not to to bad, but still annoying. I think it was AJ literally shoving one down RD's throat while she thought RD was injured that pushed AJ over the edge for me here. And Pinkie... like I said, just found her more annoying then anything, mostly all the shrieking.

Best..

Rarity Takes Manehatten of course.

Daring Don't, Power Ponies, Flight, all great episodes so depends what mood I'm in which is better a the time.

Castle Mane-ia is still the only episode that threw me into a giggle fit.

wild mass guessDaring Do is not real. Daring Don't was all just a dream.

Thinking on it, I'll have to say my favorites have been Flight to the Finish (because it's nice to see the Crusaders get some individual development, and this one actually had them arguing with each other for once), Pinkie Apple Pie (song, and also because it was the most consistently funny) and Three's A Crowd (because Discord). The opener and Castle-Mania are runner-ups.

What's wrong with it? As long as you don't venture into certain subreddits, it's perfectly fine.

Honestly it sounds like a lot of the subreddits are terrible.

And the site's history sounds worse. It's like 4chan's long lost cousin or something.

Well sure if you focus on the negative. But the subreddits I've looked at were ok. It just depends on what you're look for.

Sheesh, writing takes a lot out of you. Just finished the first post of my liveblog. I'm tired as all hell and it could have been better, but as a whole I can't believe I got something done for a change.
