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!

They NEED to defend their trademark or lose it.

Confounded IP laws.

Copyright brings nothing but grief in today's world, it should just die.

Technically that was trademark, not copyright.

@Lumi: I won't go that far, but we really do need some kind of doujin laws like Japan has for fanworks.

Well really it's worse because they're essentialyl claiming you can't make fan animations at all.

It's less that it was a fan animation and more that it was close enough to show quality that people could mistake it for being official.

Man, that guy made amazing animations... That actually pisses me off. He put a lot of time and effort into those videos just for Hasbro to tell him to fuck off.

I don't see why a fan animation is an issue as long as its both not making the creator money, and made clear that it's not official...

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Post of the Day #688

Honestly the "suddenly evil clones!" really turned me off to what was going on.

Plus I have this weird, irrational feeling that the Mane Six are going to get curbstomped by what ever is happening and are not going to be able to achieve victory/ solve the problem. I am also afraid of the Twilight's magic did it theories.

Of what, my apprehensiveness? Or what is going to happen in the episode?

Aw, man, sucks to hear that. I know it's the law, and if Hasbro doesn't occasionally wave its copyright dick around, they will lose the rights to their own creation, but that doesn't make it any less sad. These were some cool animations that really only served to keep the fanbase interested in between new episodes.

Completely unrelated: I took a few weeks break from pretty much everything enjoyable due to depression-induced lethargy, and only just decided to come back to the thread. In order to properly prepare myself for the usual fare around here, I took a gander at the Insane Pony Tumblr.

And there I found a quote of my own. Glad to be part of this gang, guys.

Sweetie Belle is a cute little filly. Luna is the princess of the night. Together... they hang out for burgers because fighting crime is too dangerous for children.
