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 wouldn't mind living there.
The Rainbow Rocks clip was interesting, if only for the implication that Vinyl is literally a walking rave. Also blah blah pandering. I honestly didn't mind the music much. Not my thing, but not objectively terrible by any means. I actually liked the general concept of the thing, even if there wasn't a great deal of actual content.
Still holding out for at least one prog rock shout out, though.
Reaction Image RepositoryHonestly the Vinyl Scene feels so much like a fan video. Good music, impressively animated, fun but not much of a narrative to it. I'm concerned that it will be BLAM in the film and screw with the pacing.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.From the Video I can infer:
- Dubstep is canon as Vinyl's Genre of choice
- Silver Spoon has only one braid, and Diamond Tiara has one um, ponytail? (The possibility of Ambidrxtorus Sprite made it a little ambiguous for me)
- And Twilight ether is not gonna be in this movie or will appear insome way of form (Native!Twilight would be the likely outcome with another possibility being that Equestria!Twilight with Year Inside, Hour Outside as a Hand Wave)
@Rhyme: It might very well have been made as a promo. Or an intro. You could easily paste some credits over it.
Either that or this one will be focused around the original human!Twilight getting to know the cast.

Reaction Image RepositoryYeah, that's the impression I got. It feels too disconnected and self-contained for me to imagine it as a part of the movie itself. Especially since it focuses on a background character, albeit a popular, who doesn't speak even when given the opportunity to. It'd definitely feel weird as a part of the movie unless it was really early on.
I don't super care for the music, personally, but eh. it's pretty unlikely the whole soundtrack is gonna be Dubstep, so not a huge deal.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Apparently today's edition of IPT has memetic potential?
I dunno why, but someone used the "exploitable meme" tag on it.
So my school has a Build-A-Bear booth set up for their mini carnival. Sadly, all it had was bears. Silly me for expecting ponies at Build A Bear.
Now we know where Gilda is from.

Interesting. So was it uploaded accidently or what?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayBecause she's not mean enough to take something so expensive?
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Nevermind, the video is back up. Anyway, now that I can see it, it makes a lot more sense as an unrelated short than part of the movie.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWhat's really weird is that parts of the Viynl short are also in the 15 second Ad spot. What's up with that?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Seraphem: My guess is that the main reason she took them is because they were a distraction to other students. The ipod itself doesn't do jack if she can't be blaring the music everywhere. Either that or Vinyl was a repeat offender and Celestia gave her an ultimatum.
What's so weird about that? All that means is that they just use material from the promo clips in addition to the movie itself when they're putting the ads together. You make the movie, you make a series of shorts to promote it, and you make ads using material from the movie and the shorts.

Reaction Image RepositoryYeah I guess. It's not unheard of, especially with early ads. I remember one early Avangers trailer that consisted entirely of footage from Iron Man 2 and the other individual movies.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWell, except that at that point it went out, and it wasn't really that loud.
My issue is, if she's not supposed to be listening to it, and you are taking something to prevent it... it's just freaking stupid to just take the earphones and not the actual player.
It's like wanting to keep someone from shooting a water gun at other students, so your drain the water out of it, but let them keep the gun.
Though, expecting anything related to a school to not be ridiculously stupid in the first place is kind of asking for issue anyway....

Except that you can refill a water gun. Also, I know you have a very low opinion of schools, but you do realize that they aren't all the same and some are more competent than others, right?

@CDRW: That's actually not all that bad. Though a thousand square feet isn't exactly huge. Not tiny, but certainly not big.
Actually, it's like, twice the size for half the price of a Condo my roommate bought. Though said condo was on the border of Old Montreal and Griffintown, the two most expensive neighborhoods in Montreal, so maybe not the best example.
