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!

I'm hesitant to call the fight scene a DBZ knockoff or whatever. It's missing multi-episode screams, power ups, and an over size spirit bomb.tongue

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

As noted in the comments, we have Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance, Lord Tirek, and...Luna. Just Luna.

Also, does the library being blown into kingdom come mean that the opening animation will have to change again?

It wold be kind of hilarious if the intro didn't change, but yeah, I can't imagine them keeping it the same now.

Orion: Of course it's not a total knock-off. It's also missing warp-around melee battling. tongue But unlike DBZ, they didn't have infinite episodes to work off of, so had to settle for what they had. tongue

I really don't know how to feel about the events. I mean, Ponyville citizens must be losing their shit right now.

The equivalent of their souls were sucked out by an evil overlord, no trauma there huh? and now there's a giant bucking tower you can see for miles.

Technically you could argue Ponyville's now the capitol of a kingdom.

Which is kinda weird, given that it's like right next to Canterlot.

I imagine it's the capital of a state or principality.

I..... Don't think my words can truly say how utterly AWESOME that finale is! Seriously, both this and Princess Twilight Sparkle are without a doubt my favorite two-parters in the entire series! Even the songs were great too!waii[tup]cool

I also really hope that there will be some DBZ-esque fanart ever since that fight between Twilight and Tirek.tongue

Also, E Ps are basically confirmed for Super-Strength now. Celestia specifically notes that Tirek is stealing their strength.

Also also Confirmed official Luna plushies. Those are going to sell so fast...

Since Celestia noted Tirek came from a far off land, that's pretty much confirmation of the closest we'll get to a crossover. He's pretty obviously the same guy, and then there's Scorpan. And Midnight Castle's now harsher in hindsight given he was bullied and belittled and he's his own brother.

I don't know if I'd say he's the same guy; if I remember right, G1 Tirek didn't have magical absorption abilities.

[up]There's also the fact that in the original cartoon, Tirek actually got Killed Off for Real, whereas this one is clearly alive.

And didn't Scorpan turn on tirak in the original? He can't really betray him twice. That would put this Equestria as the one he tried to take over in the first, and it's obviously very different, what with the princesses being there. I'm pretty sure this is a reboot of the villain and not a crossover.

Edit: And according to the wiki, Scorpan wasn't Tirec's brother in the original.

Yeah, I don't think they intended to link this back to the events of G1. This Tirek isn't G1 Tirek any more that Applejack is G1 Applejack.
