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.

My brain likes to wake me up in the middle of the night. It's kind of tiring.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectWe could do as Yahtzee does and talking about stonking great tits.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectSo I just watched Rescue At Midnight Castle with my mom in preparation. It's amazing how rushed the 11 minute episode + mandatory song made everything. Even as a two parter, that's still just the length of say, MMC.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySo, I just found out a few things about the upcoming Superman sequel that make me worry about it. I already had my concerns about Jesse Eisenberg being cast as Lex, but I also found out who they're casting as Wonder Woman (someone named Gal Gadot), and after looking up some photos of her, she just doesn't look like Wonder Woman. She's way too skinny, so unless she builds up some muscle quickly, I'm just not convinced she can pull off being an Amazon warrior.
Second, they're also putting in Cyborg. I like Cyborg, but outside of Teen Titans, he's not incredibly well-known, and he's not the kind of character that you can just throw in anywhere, being a cyborg and all. Which just makes me more concerned the film's characters will just be crowding each other out.
And third, it's being released the same day that Captain America 3 is. That just screams to me that the people behind this want to stick it to Marvel, and given how successful the Marvel movies have been, that just seems terribly unwise. I mean, even if they manage to build a hell of a lot of hype around this thing, that's just ensuring you're not getting near as much at the box office as you should.
I should watch Rescue at Midnight Castle eventually. I've seen the Escape from Katrina special, which I remember being kinda cute, but would have been better if they didn't add so much pointless fluff.

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. Sark@Irish: I think I heard that Marvel may be having second thoughts about it.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectIrish- they've been pushing Cyborg as a full-fledged member of the justice league since the reboot a few years ago. I'm not sure why. But they're trying to make him one of the major players like the Flash and Green Lantern.
As for the Wonder Woman issue, I just hope she isn't portrayed poorly.

@Big Mac: You should tell that me. I've grown to enjoy cider over beer (namely Strongbow cider).
We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.
