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.

According to Wikipedia, it's still going. Anyway, I don't have much exposure to the later parts of the show since I don't watch TV. But I thought the movie was pretty funny.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayOkay we need a different long runner to compare. Using the Simpsons as an example seems fallacious, How about Sonic the Hedgehog?, Unpleaseable Fanbase aside, it seems to be successful so far.

Well I know for a while it was doing terribly (2006 comes to mind), but I've heard that it's gotten better lately.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe sonic games... I don't actually play them, and the only one that sounds straight-up bad to me is the werehog one.
My brother likes sonic, and the ones he played seem okay. Just not my thing. The werehog one sounds like a totally different thing though.

I'm not talking about the shows, I'm talking about the source material; the games.
You wnat an example of a Long Runner tv show being successful there's Pokémon (though the games also qualify)

I've never actually played any of the sonic games for a nontrivial amount of time. I've played Ecco The Dolphin though.

Point is you are freaking out about things, that exist only in your head, and acting like they are 100% going to be what happens, and then acting out of alarmist paranoia.
yeah I tend to go overboard at times, but at least it's about shit that actually happened. Not vague, 'I want to to find something to worry about" stuff, I have enough of that everywhere else.
So, if I were to try to make that "A Changeling wants to learn what love means to non-changelings, so that he/she can try to stop being a predator" story idea, I wonder what each of the main six would try in terms of explaining what they think love is.
We already have a good idea of Rarity's position on the whole thing, and I think it'd be amusing for Twilight to give a rather clinical discussion of what Love is in terms of the magical sciences and how it relates to the similar energy generated by Harmony.
On a related note, another fic idea I've been bouncing around is a scientific journal written by Twilight deailing her findings in the thaumic sciences.

I have a message from another time...Aj would be the practical one, not even tryng to explain it really just saying something like It is what it is.
Pinkie would have really accurate and in depth response, but phrased in a really childish way.
Flutterhsy.. I'm betting would be a secret romantic, giving the gushiest of explanations.
RD, is to cool to care about it.

But it's 2014. These days, a show is lucky if it only gets one FULL season!
