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.

So were not going to find out how terrible the play was? Ok, I guess we'll just have to take everyponies word for it that it was forgettable and definitely not background ponies just being shallow as usual. I swear I think the town has always hated those kids.
I do wonder, since we kind of get an impression that Sweetie Belle was always kind of bratty about things involving her sister painted Rarity's later behavior with Sweetie and other kids. Also makes me wonder what happened to make Sweetie want to be so close to her sister in earlier seasons. Maybe she's just contrarian.
So yeah, one the better episodes this season. Felt kind of short though, like there should have been more events going on before and after the dream sequence. Still decent overall though.
@ marston: Yeah, it sucks, but Hasbro has to at least appear to be protecting their trademark.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I don't think it was implied that strongly that the play sucked, just that the dresses were way more professional than the other aspects. Which makes perfect sense; if you have a play that's written, directed, and performed by a bunch of ten-year-olds, but the costumes are made by a professional fashion designer, they're going to stand out.

And they do this by going after something that didn't even pretend to be something they made {There was a disclaimer at the beginning of most of those videos}. At this rate I'm wondering how long it'll take before Hasbro starts going after fanart and fanfics to.

@J Teeth: Stand out so much that they forget everything else that happened during an extended period of time? I would think they would at least know what the play was about and what happened. They didn't even seem to know that.

but of course, the fandom wines about everything
I prefer beer.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!yeah, hasbro is just playing by the rules. and they still follow them pretty loosely. They could be like viacom, you know.
but enough about that, we have an episode to talk about.
I really loved how the rest of the mane 6 all GTFO'd as soon as sweetie showed up. They were like "Uh oh, family problems incoming. Gotta go!"
XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!This episode in a nutshell: "ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH BEING PETTY HAS FUCKED THINGS UP FOR YOU"
I loved it.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987I don't think the nightmare was Luna's doing. She was just unlocking that part of Sweetie's mind.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI think Sapphire was way too reasonable and nice in the episode to ever do something like mock Rarity publicly. She would have let her fix it.
But y'know, dolphins.
Also, when we saw a shot of Sapphire on stage in that nightmare, we also saw the dolphins.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectWell at any rate, I just hope that this kind of crap doesn't happen to Ask Fluffle Puff. Then I'd be really pissed. But still, sorry for dragging that drama here.
Anyone know where I can find the new FIM episode?
@Mio: Given that the whole thing was apparently written in pseudo-Old English, I can't really blame them. The whole thing was probably nigh incomprehensible.
