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!

Because magic.

I don't see how there's another explanation. That sort of thing is usually handwaved.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Aside from the obvious reasons (censorship and marketing), why would the mirror portal give ponies clothes when they cross over to human world?

You pretty much covered it.

And what if a human wearing clothes crosses over into Equestria? Do the clothes vanish or do they keep them? And what if the pony is wearing clothes already when they cross over?

The clothes vanish. It's not like Twilight or SS stripped before going through the portal after all.

I doubt they put much thought into it though.

I'm guessing that the portal magically adjusts them to fit the "norm" for the world they're being put into. So a human going to Equestria would either wind up naked or with a ponified version of their outfit.

I'm still trying to find whose leather my jacket was made out of by the portal.

@Sunset: Well, usually, I'd hazard leather to come from cows... usually anyways. For all I know, it could be from fish.

Not much I can input really, except hello!

Some cow, eh... what does that say about me? Or the portal itself?

Not that I care, this jacket got me enough dudes to hypnotize and form an army.

@Ike: Easy now... Sunset and I did break off... and for good reason... I'd only want her to be happy if she felt like flying solo.

@Sunset: The whole leather from cows implying things... well, let's just say one interpretation is that you'd be... at a lack of better words, well-endowed.

Maybe it was just magically materialized?

Yeah, yet one of the many many things that just makes no damn sense in that movie.

Granted how the hell Sunset thought anything she as doing was a good idea or might work is still one of the biggest moments of idiocy. tongue

I don't think the brainwashing thing really works well. At least Chrysalis had the sense to pick a logical target.

Guys, I've been Celestia's personal student for years. I know a world that can be conquered with a teenage army when I see one. You can blame Celestia for running the place into the ground that hard.

Sure, sure, just keep telling yourself that. Yeah your "teenage army' would have done so well getting used to the whole equine bodies, and popping up right in front of all three remaining princesses, and five of Equestria's greatest heroes. All they would need to do is toss them right back through the portal.

The portal magically transforms your body into a dramatically different shape and mass and you're asking where the clothes come from?

Yes, because that's a completely separate function. Also, the shape-shifting is necessary for the plot. The clothes technically aren't.

@Story You make it sound like that's the hard part or something. Even incompetent Twilight can do that, without the portal.

Think of it this way - Twilight washes the dishes by herself, but the portal is a dishwasher machine.
