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 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!

[up][up]Thing is, that's probably not the result of "hey, let's make a society based on how horses act!" so much as "making it up as we go so that it fits the joke/storyline" and it happening to resemble things. Stuff like "they panic" or "they tend to act in groups" doesn't really indicate horse like behavior any more than it does any sort of animal that travels in a group.

Most of the real Furry Reminder stuff is in the personal behavior, like body language.

She would. Along with Rarity, back in high school when she was going through her goth phase.

And then Sweetie Belle trots out the pictures any time she needs to get Rarity off her back about CMC-induced collateral damage.

Goth ponies are great.

Goth anything is great, really.

For instance, I have a friend that professionally takes care of horses, and she says she really just needs to turn off her brain when it comes to teh show as they act barely anything like horses.

And I know it's just coincidence, but again I really don't care at all about why something is the way it is in a story. Only what it is really matters.

[up][up][up]Now I'm imagining that Rarity and Cheerilee did some experimenting.

With Cheerilee's fashion sense back then? You know they did. That shit was in style.

Edit: Pony has finally crossed paths with Twitch Plays Pokemon.

My wild mass guess is still that Celestia cloaked the Mane Six in a veil so unless they're "on the job", as it were, they're treated like normal ponies.

They are clearly supposed to act like humans, not horses.

Also, Twitch TV appears to be trying to teach Drowzee Psychic. Will they make it, or accidently toss it or waste it on Dig Rat? Wish them luck.

A Lso been watching some videos of the review Firejoker ... or .... Jokerfire... or whatever the hell he's named—the Military Pegasus! ....yyyyeah I don't like him either. He's just ripping off the Nostalgia Critic's jokes while ranting over stuff that is perfectly fine!

Ex- He reviewed "Snowdrop", and he called Snowdrop a Mary Sue, when in fact she is a defenseless blind filly who has extremely low self-esteem and has to work in order to even do the simplest tasks like walk home from school, and do a homework assignment! oooooooh God I hate that review...

I've never watched one of his reviews, but I'm afraid I have to agree with that assessment of Snowdrop. And Mary Sue isn't a term I throw around lightly.

[up]Sympathetic Sue might be a bit closer. I'm really kind of on the fence about whether she counts. On one hand, she does have legitimate flaws that drive her actions, but on the flipside there's so much Incorruptible Pure Pureness going on that it tips a bit far toward the saccharine. I don't think she's necessarily a Mary Sue, but she's treated in an incredibly Glurge-y fashion.

Wouldn't it be closer to Purity Sue? Anyway, Snowdrop was basically Glurge.

He also complained about:

  • the cartoony voices of the royal guards in "Princess Twilight Sparkle" (... it's a cartoon! They have cartoony voices!!!! GOD!!)
  • Pinkie Pie in Season 4. E-nough figgin' said!!!

So what are my favorite reviewers? Tommy_Oliver probably is high up there. He speaks clearly, he is calm, yet informative, well-paced, and professional. Silver Quill too, for going the extra mile by incorporating nearly-animated skits in his videos.
