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'm actually not that sure about the Guardians trailer. IT looks like it's aiming for a comedy thing, but I'm just not that taken in. I'm sure it'll be good, but I'll wait to see more trailers and get a read on what it's about before I make any more decisions, I guess.
As it stands it feels more like a particularly creative Sci Fi movie than a superhero movie. Reminded me a bit of John Carter.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.At least Iron Man has a long history. I had heard of him before the movie came out.
Also, TTP is way too addictive. I can't seem to get anything done.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah, Iron Man might not have been as well known as Batman or Superman, but I knew that he existed.
Reaction Image RepositoryApparently Guardians of the Galaxy was created in 2008. I think that explains it. Iron Man debuted in 1963. The Hulk appeared in 1962. Captain America dates back to the 40s.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWell, at this point Marvel is trying to branch out, and if it wants to set up some of its other stories they need this to work.
So yeah, it's a risk, but one that they seem to be willing to take. The comic is supposed to be a little goofy anyway.
The most recent version of the Guardians (which is what they're using in the movie) maybe. It goes back longer than that.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI know they need to branch out, I'm just surprised they're taking such a big risk.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayEh. Any non-norm comic is going to be a pretty big risk anyways.
For that matter, pretty much everything Marvel has done in the past half-decade has been a pretty significant risk. The Avengers movie was a pretty wild idea, when you look at it objectively. A movie combining plot strings from four or five completely independent movies? If any one of the movies leading into the Avengers had tanked, the project as a whole could have suffered pretty significantly.

Keg: Heh, so from a long-term game plan standpoint, I guess that explain the Hulk re-reboot, huh?
I would totally love to play as Rouge and Rarity's team, just because of how similar yet very different the interactions of those two would be.
And since we're on the topic of Comic Book movies: Does anyone here hate how DC is basically trying to copy the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point? If it was done with tact like the MCU, I'd be okay with it, but instead they're just shoehorning Batman, Wonder Women and The Flash {The last one is a rumor, but still} into the Man Of Steel sequel, and it's clear that unlike the people behind the MCU they don't really care about the characters or anything, they just want to cash in on the whole thing. Not to mention they cast the Zombieland guy as Lex Luthor, which has to be the dumbest casting choice I've ever seen. What's next, are they gonna cast Michael Cera as The Joker or some crap?
