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!

or someone else to develop a console that can read and play proprietary disks.

The problem is that this is currently illegal.

we'd just have game consoles that play any game you put in them, the same way DVD players play any DVD

That actually does make a lot of sense. I wouldn't be surprised if a common console format does happen. Though really, most P Cs can play most PC games already. You only get into trouble if you want to play something that's either really old or really new and high end.

It completely sucks when a game you're just dying to play is only available on a console you don't own, but you're not about to drop almost $600 just for one game.

Reminds me of getting a GBC back in the day just to play Pokemon. Then again, they weren't $600.

@dark: I agree. That's always how I've seen it. (Hopefully this won't kick off another power level discussion).

Figuring out power levels for Celestia and Luna is... difficult. As far as we know, they can move the sun and moon respectively. I'm assuming this takes a lot of power, based on Twilight's performance in Boast Busters. They are both over 1000 years old, so I'm assuming they are immortal unless someone actively tries to kill them. On the other hand, Celestia was put out of commission by Chrysalis with a single (albeit powerful) magical energy blast. And we've never really seen either Luna or Celestia do anything exceptional but move the sun and moon. So... I've got nothing.

Edit: [up] fuck, sorry.

I wonder if Celestia and Luna are a bit like Leto II.

I do like the interpretation that Celly's true strength is leadership, not laser blasts or telekinesis.

not nearly as morally ambiguous or scheming. Though if Nightmare Moon ever did win, I could see her after a few centuries getting bored with being an overlord and morph into something like him over time.

As regarding sun and moon control, the play mentions the unicorns could do it, so I assume it was a constant group effort that could do it in shifts but is still rather taxing. Which is maybe why she never offered the moon to some unicorns, prefering to shoulder the burden both as a reminder to her past mistake and so that her ponies won't have to.

Where have you been for the last week?

Anyway, the god emperor thing does fit surprisingly well. Including the fact that Leto had a sister, though she decided not to go all wormy.

As the size of a laser blast increases, the number of political situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero.

Idea- what if Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy failed to catch Twilight in episode 2?

No I mean on the internet.

Anyway, here's what I'm talking about.

This is probably more helpful, seeing as it actually explains what's going on in that stream.
