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 actually did a Really long breakdown
of the issues with it, if you're interested.
The dumb thing is that if they hadn't been so intent on riding the "Professional Quality Animation" hype train and just been open with the fact that it was going to be Reference Overdosed it would have gone over a lot better.

Reaction Image RepositoryTo me, the biggest problem with DR was the pacing. The timing of all the jokes was off and there were often awkward pauses in the dialog and between scenes. Plus stuff that wasn't funny went on way too long.
Anyway, I'd say season 4 is actually better than 3 so far.

https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qYeah, the biggest issues with DR was, well the entire script, but more the false advertising. Billing it over, and over, and over, as a 100% Fan made episode that would fit perfectly with the show... then random PPG crossover. Throwing in obtrusive and idiotic meme's way to much, it just... no, just no.
Snowdrop tried WAY to hard to bring the feels, but other then that, was just all around way better the DR.
Yep. DR wouldn't have been so hated if it wasn't ridiculously overhyped.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThis was exactly the problem, honestly. He made a big deal about it being a legit episode, and then it turned out to just be a fan animation where the only notable attribute was the scale. The guy went on and on about how it was going to be show-quality, when it was obviously nowhere close. And if you tell me something is going to be professional quality, I'm going to judge it by the metric you give me.
Well, it's not like he has the money to hire a studio or anything. I'm curious how the new thing will turn out. DR isn't exactly the greatest show of writing and animation, but I'm not sure how much of it is just him attempting and failing to reproduce MLP's feel and whether he'd be better at it if he isn't trying to copy something else.

Reaction Image RepositoryCouldn't they reupload it? It sounds like the takedown was rather informal anyway.

I'd be surprised if she didn't come back later. Like they bring back all the key ponies for the finale or something.
@Morning: That is kind of a dick move, although I'm personally trying to reserve judgment as everything we know about what happened is hearsay at this point.

Reaction Image RepositoryYeah, I checked in on the Reddit thread and multiple people are reuploading for exactly that reason.
@Midna: Yeah, Coco is awesome. She needs to show up again.

It's almost like everything about this project turned into a steaming mess.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...
