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.

     Original OP text 
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!

@Crimson: Huh... Kinda Spurprised on that answer to be absolutely honest. Thought I was the only one who really liked the earth ponies.

Pinkie Apple Pie this season

Seconded. Though Pinkie Pride gave it a run for its money.

Also, watching the Twitch Timelaspe videos, I've discovered that Democracy is a lot more fun to watch in timelapse.

Picking a favorite is too hard.

Also, Twitch trying to do the radio quiz is hilarious. And here I thought Gen 2 would be easier due to the HM shortcuts and lack of a Safari Zone. (Of course Ice Cave will be a challenge too)

Breezie episode worst? Even if it's "worst" of season it's because season is so good.

But then again I consider those "worst" of entire show as still good episodes.

I think people are forgetting something.

As the seasons go by, new writers keep getting added. How hard is it for them all to communicate with each other so they can make sure the show has absolutely perfect continuity? Why is Tommy_Oliver so hung up on wondering where the Breezies came from? Guess what. This world also has talking donkies, cows, dogs that apparently DO NOT talk, Gollum-like canines, a worm monster, dragons, a shape-shifting god of chaos, a 3-headed hydra, and gryphons. Why is no one talking about where THOSE came from?! My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, despite having an overall narrative this 4th season, does not care that much about continuity.

Actually on the whole, it has some pretty amazing continuity. Which makes the writers that tend to ignore this, stand out all the more as not quite fitting in.

They were complaining about the Breezies 'not coming from anywhere'? Really?

Yeah, heaven forbid new elements ever get introduced... after all, absolutely everything about the setting was established before the first episode.

Hell, the Breezies had more introduction than normal, since Fluttershy mentioned studying them in a previous episode.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.

@kyun: despite the fact that we've had quite a few CallBacks to previous seasons so far.

There is continuity, but thing is, the show does introduce new species and animals and stuff and has done so since the first season. If he's going to complain about where the Breezies come from, he needs to also complain about the Parasprites or Diamond Dogs. Heck, nobody made that complaint about the freaking dragon migration despite that being far larger in scope.

Speaking of which, I really want to see the Diamond Dogs back in the show.

The trailer for Rainbow Rocks shows that we'll see the human versions of the Diamond Dogs. But so far, nothing else.

I think there's a difference between adding something new which was never mentioned before, which happens all the time, and adding something which isn't even self-consistent (how I see Daring Don't).

@Kyun: Yeah, I like that. I just wish they'd show up in the show itself.

@Story: I agree, but let's not open that can of worms again.

Which the Breezies weren't.

And most of his issues are either "TOYZ ARE TEH EBILS!" type thing, or, come off as. "They did not deliver every single fact to me on a silver platter, therefore anything they didn't explain is a massive plot hole because I don't want to even think about how it might make sense unless the story tells me it directly."
