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.

@Star Lemongrab? That is unacceptable. Though, I'm almost done with season 2, then I have to watch season 3. Then I have to watch season 3 of Futurama. So many things. lol.

https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qLemongrab is an unfortunate case where fans latched on to him for the wrong reasons, and the writers then gave him sequel episodes. Thankfully it's only about 4 more, but many wish he hadn't come back. At least the writers made even his obsessive fans realize the extent of his Jerkass behavior.
Thanks to Adventure Time, it made me realize that vampires CAN be cool. I so love Marceline.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qI'd suggest skipping the first two epsides of season 3. I don't think it really gets good until Memory of a Memory.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'm not sure what to make of Lemongrab. I've only seen one appearance thus far and he was kind of annoying.
Reaction Image RepositoryI've only seen his first episode too. He's kind of annoying but not that bad.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI've never watched Adventure Time. What's a good introductory episode?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!@Syd (scratches head) Uhhhh...I don't know. I watched from the very first episode.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qNobody. As I understand it, Lemongrab was designed to be annoying.
I actually read an interesting article on him once. If I recall correctly the conclusion of the article was that Lemongrab was meant to represent the notion that just because you have a condition(Autism is a fairly obvious conclusion to draw from what I've seen of him) does not mean behaving poorly is not, as it were, unacceptable, and that it shouldn't go without some degree of reprimanding. People with behavioural disorders may have trouble understanding why certain things are wrong but it's still important to impart on them that it is wrong.
There was also some speculation about commentary on the isolation people with such disorders face(Considering the only person Lemongrab can get along with is himself, and even then not very well). I'll see if I can find it. IT was interesting.
EDIT: here it is
. Someone will have to tell me how far off my memory is, I sadly don't have time to re-read it at the moment but judging from the title I'm guessing I forgot a thing or two.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.How about starting with the Pilot?
Anyway, you can skip most of season 1.

Oops, accidently had Ice King's origin spoiled. Oh well, guess it's not that big a deal.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayOh, sorry. I hadn't remembered that sort of stuff was in there.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Yeah, spoilers for that one approach Red Wedding levels of It Was His Sled. Still wish you could have seen it blind though.
@Kegisak: From what I understand there's something of a Broken Base over Lemongrab, split between those who think that his behavior is partially excused by his inability to empathize and his lousy upbringing, and those who see him as a dick who uses Disability as an Excuse for Jerkassery. From what I know about him, I think your take is pretty accurate. He does have a pretty tragic life and mental issues, but that doesn't absolve him of being a raging ass to pretty much everyone he interacts with.

@Marcen I'm watching it now calm yourself, Marcen. But I don't think I'm gonna like this one, it's got Lemongrab in there.
