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.

@Meta: I know! Some ponies did things, but they did it in those amazing costumes!
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectAbout Dracula - it is interesting how he combined some traits of vampire and werewolf. Hairy palms etc. Especially as, in some versions of Slavic folklore, if you were a werewolf in life (a condition usually self-induced. You need to be a powerful magician to turn into a wolf, not turn into one because someone bitten you) you might well become a vampire after death.
Also, Stoker originally planned the name of Count Dracula to be... (drum roll) Count Vampyre! Which would kind of give everything away
If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common@marcen: kind of loses it's impact after the first time.

Still a better villain name than Doctor Mortal. (Which actually existed)
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I can't comment on Dracula, but as as far as Frankenstein goes, a more faithful adaptation of the book would be interesting, although they'd have to work around the massive Idiot Ball that Frankenstein has to grasp for the plot to proceed.
For those who haven't read the book:
In the original, the monster isn't evil from the start. It's mostly neutral until the doc pisses him off. Basically, the monster makes Frankenstein promise to create a female for him, so he won't be alone for the rest of his life. Frankenstein agrees, but gets cold feet while he's making the second monster, for this reason: He's afraid that the two of them will reproduce and their progeny will take over the world. His response? Destroy the female that he promised the original monster. This makes the monster pissed, and it resolves to basically make Frankenstein's life hell, which results in pretty much everything bad that happens in the novel. The reason this is an Idiot Ball is because Frankenstein, who's a good enough biologist to be able to fashion a living creature out of dead tissue, never thinks that he could just make the female infertile. Instead he goes back on his promise and makes a mortal enemy out of his creation.
Reaction Image Repository@JT: ... or figures that A body reconstituted from corpses should be incapable of bearing children in the first place?
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.i always figured that Victor's irrationality was because he was teetering on the verge of a psychotic break.

https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qWell, we need a new sound effect for bad jokes. Any ideas?
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau Project@Crimson: True, but in that case he shouldn't have been able to create the female in the first place.
@Kegisak: I'm willing to spot him that one, given that his whole MO is "create living body from nonliving tissue." If he's able to make a corpse alive, one would assume it means that the tissue he uses works properly. It still doesn't mean it wouldn't be trivially easy to "forget" the ovaries or something.

Reaction Image RepositoryHey Kegi, in case you missed it, here's the pic
I did the other day when you suggested I draw a pony book club.
Two of my favorite things- Luna and puns. https://derpibooru.org/583550
I'm not sure taping a book is sufficient. Shouldn't the club be made of books?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Story: Yeah. The story opens with the sea captain finding Frankenstein and hearing the story.
Rainbow Dash ain't got time for that.

Reaction Image RepositoryYou know, isn't taping stuff to weapons a signature of a series of videogames? I think it was called Dead Space.

Speaking of the new episode, wasn't Luna dreamy?
