A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

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!

Twilight has every RIGHT to revolve the conflict between Applejack and Rarity! She's the princess! She said herself at the beginning that she's here on royal business. So she had NO PROBLEM settling the dispute, and did a hell of a great job doing it.

Also, according to the director Jim Miller, that bit with the rows of ponies getting in Dash's way was indeed a Frogger reference.

I wouldn't want Ponies in Smash Bros, as its suppose to be a celebration of Nintendo characters with the occasional 3rd party character that's somewhat relevant to the company (Sonic had the big rivalry, Mega Man started out on the NES. Solid Snake's the only odd ball, but he's still a video game character that's appeared on Nintendo consoles).

Now, a Hasbro crossover fighting game similar to Smash Bros? That I would spend money on...

Anyways, as for today's episode... am I the only one that doesn't see what's wrong with Fluttershy spending a few months, maybe a year, away to train an Orthos? Probably for a hefty payment? Do I understand the magic of friendship so badly, I'd sell my friends out for a book?

Then again, it would be FUNNY to see Villager pocket the Element of Harmony.

@Calnos: SSB is a celebration of Nintendo characters, yes. However, that isn't as important as the quality of the game in general, and it's appeal to consumers. If they were to add twilight to it, how much more money do you think they would make? That would make the game appeal more to a young girl audience, and older pony fans.

I've gotten round to watching this episode, and I've took away three things:

1. Trading ponies for slave labor is apparently perfectly legal.

2. Stout shako for 2 refined!

3. SHIPPING!

Seriously though, it was a nice and enjoyable lighthearted episode.

It was more indentured servitude than slavery, but yeah, that was weird.

Funny thing about this episode is the three duos are my 3 OTP's.

Disclaimer: I don't take the shipping thing seriously. I just think it's cute.

Oh yeah - another thing that bothered me, related to Pinkie. Her freaking that little kid out. Seriously, what the hell?

Where the heck are people getting slavery from?Fluttershy would just be training the orthros for a while and leave when finished.

Though Pinkie was a bit of a prick to that filly.

Yeah, that's probably my biggest gripe with the episode.

That, and the last line was cheesy as hell.

[up]Implying that this show doesn't already have cheesy lines.tongue

Anyways, I personally really enjoyed this episode.

Same here, I will admit it's kinda reminded me of that one Ed Edd N Eddy episode. And I gotta say all those trades Rainbow Dash had to make an episode is really making my head spin there.

Well, *sniff* you don't catch feather flu from being out in bad weather. That's an old ponies tale. It's feather flu season. It's a virus, spread from pegasi to pegasi. Highly contagious. If one of us gets it, we *all* get it, eventually. Now it's my t... T...

\*CHOOOO*

...turn. *snfff* Lucky me.
