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 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!

@Star Don't worry. If there is a girl who is interested in you, and you are to her, just be yourself.

@Dark: It's been too long, I'm not familiar with the individual Gen 1 ponies besides a few big names and some of the ones from the pilot where they took out Tirek.

@Star Don't worry. You'll do fine. I have horrible self confidence issues but I know I'll do fine...eventually.

You can claim copyright if the name of a character is also the name of the work, but then the work's name changes. Like Shazam is the name of Captain Marvel comics for this reason.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you need to copy more than the name before it can fall under copyright.

I think it has something to do with copyrighting the name in relation to that character. Like "Shazam" in general couldn't be copyrighted, but the use of "Shazam" as the name of a superhero could be.

In this case, it's "Firefly". You can't copyright or trademark the term, but they could get a lock on "Firefly, the pegasus pony".

Now I am envisioning everyone on the show referring to each other as "() the pony" or "() the dragon". :D

Even then I don't think you can copyright it. Copyright is for things more then just that. The falls under Trademark.. though those laws are all so convoluted who the hell knows.

@dark: Even if it may not get the attention it once did, it will likely never go away. More then anything that came before, the new fans have accepted G1 wholeheartedly. G1 will live on in some way shape or form.

@mio. Thanks, I needed that.

Yeah G1 is pretty fondly remembered. And even those that don't think it was that good. It's issues aren't due to being a 'girls show' but more simply due to being an 80's cartoon.

It's G3 and especially 3.5 that everyone loathes.

#64068: Apr 7th 2014 at 8:56:07 AM

Dunno. I don't think it's very good, and I don't remember it fondly.

Seraphem Since: Oct, 2009
#64069: Apr 7th 2014 at 8:57:18 AM

It was alright. Like I said about on par with any other cartoon of the time.

G1 was pretty memorable, though not as iconic and unmistakeable as Gen 1 Transformers.

I still hold the fanon that the ponies are the 'daughters' of the Sister of Primus.

Yeah, of course I was wee in teh 80's and hadn't developed a sense of taste yet, but looking back, nearly all the early 80's cartoons were so-so at best.

#64072: Apr 7th 2014 at 8:59:09 AM

Yeah G1 Transformers was amazing. G1 pony, I'd say was about equal to the first GI Joe cartoon for quality.

The one problem I have with gen 1 is the sheer number of songs. Otherwise it's not that bad.

@Dark: I think G1 does have some supporters. I do want to getting around to watching some of those specials eventually. I don't particularly think it's dying out, just nowhere near as popular as G4.

In other news, I just got an email from EQD saying that they'll post that Prank Call fic I wrote once I fix a few typos. [tup]
