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.

@Story: I mean in the sense that the primary conflict with Elsa running off into the mountains and all that stuff doesn't really set in until like half an hour into the movie, and Olaf and Cristoph are basically relegated to cameos for most of it. It felt like they didn't even finish introducing the entire cast until a third of the movie was over.
That said, it was really dense with setup for later plot points, and it did pay off in a big way in the latter part of the movie, so it's a minor issue.
Reaction Image RepositoryI can't say I even liked that short much. Maybe if it had better music.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayUnless you want to murder someone. Then doing nothing is probably the better option. But when it comes to making art, trying and possibly failing is always better than doing nothing at all.
I disagree. Sometimes a bad idea is bad and is not worth the possible learning experience.

I really liked it. Vinyl oozes personality without saying a word and there were lots of fun visual gags.
Gonna have to agree to disagree. If people didn't make bad stuff, we wouldn't have anything to compare the good stuff to.
Plus, a world without schlocky, so bad it's good b-movies would be a poorer place.

I think there's supposed to be more shorts after that one. I wasn't a fan of the music either, but it got a chuckle out of me still.
@JT: I agree that Twi and Discord have some awesome potential for an episode. (And not just because I'm a blatant Discord fangirl.) I guess that's what disappointed me in Three's a Crowd; it was less Twi and Discord bouncing off one another, and more Discord's shenanigans.
I'd personally rather them roll the dice and fail than not try something new at all. Plus you don't necessarily know it's a bad idea unless you try.

As JT said, there's a lot of parallels between them that the show hasn't really brought up. They're both very powerful ponies that have only recently discovered the magic of friendship, and yet total opposites at the same time. And, this is possibly me just reading into something not actually there, but Discord keeps harping on about her princess title for some reason.

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkI think I'd be okay if Discord didn't get any more episodes. Although that's unlikely, so I can only hope the writers would be able to do something different.

Which might mean that Discord's due for some serious character development. But again, that's just me. /shrug

Having deliberately written some incredibly stupid stuff (it was some somewhat surrealistic sci-fi with humour based on how stupid the plot points and details were. It was loads of fun.), I can confidently say that it has made me a better writer.

Yes. Obviously, he'll never stop mind raping ponies.

@Mio: That seems to be true of a lot of secondary characters, but that's not going to stop me. Or a lot of other people that are clamoring for some pony to get the spotlight.
I personally feel my expectations are realistic compared to others, but again, just me.

Slow to start? The beginning is pretty fast with all the musical numbers and timeskips.
