@Pykrete: I'm in the group that can see the appeal in the pairing, but prefers other ships. I think a large amount of the popularity of the ship comes from the fact that they approach the same subject from opposite ends. Twilight and Trixie are basically the extremes of Technician Versus Performer, so seeing how they contrast is really interesting. And they have those sorts of parallels to multiple aspects of their personalities. Trixie is very arrogant and boastful, while Twilight is generally self-effacing and doesn't like being the center of attention as much. Trixie is all about entertaining other ponies even if she has to make stuff up to do so, while Twilight is all about cold hard facts, even if said facts are boring.

Star- obviously you should team up and fight crime.

@Ike Do you think I'd be a good Spider Man? Better than Drake Bell?

@Ike Fair point, though the whole crime fighting thing does have a good ring to it. But where does that leave LD though?

1) why would Drake Bell be Spider Man

2) I think he could be alright. Although he's a bit too 'cool', but it'd be kind of the same thing Andrew Garfeild has in the new movies, and he's... okaaaaay? Not great, but not terrible. I don't like his voice.

TO be fair it's not the guy's fault. It's the fault of the horrible writing, bad script, and pathetically stupid plots. Any good that comes out of the show are rare and wonderful accidents.

@Dark And by "Good and wonderful accidents" ya mean the cameos right?

I have no clue who Drake Bell is.

He's from The Amanda Show, Drake And Josh, and played Timmy Turner in the live-action Fairly Odd Parents thing. A steady decline in show quality, if you ask me.

And I was unaware he was voicing Spider-Man in the new Spider-Man TV show. I have no opinion on the matter.

Eeyup. Deadpool, for instance.

It's so horrible not just on it's own, but compared to the glory of Spectacular Spiderman, it's all the more saddening.

@Dark Which is ironic considering Spidey's schtick in that show.

What's that supposed to mean?

@Dark I was comparing Spidey's humour in Ultimate to Deadpool's normal humour?

What, you haven't even seen the first movie? And I've heard that it's happened before in the comics.

I don't follow any of that stuff. I should go to bed now, or else I'll be dead tomorrow.

I figured you meant he wouldn't have to worry about dropping her if they go web-swinging for a date.

I wonder how much of Trixie's antogonism was just part of her stage persona rather than real feelings.
And now I'm thinking about Shadows again.

Trixie would be a good candidate for either the Magician or the Moon arcana.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

[up][up]I figured he meant Spider Man would have a hard time travelling much further than the downtown skyline without help.

Eh, he's Spidy, he's like Spike, except he has a love interest that reciprocates his feelings and can blow off steam by pounding guys into mush while snarking as much as he likes.

Okay, regardless of who the next big villain is, I demand that this scene be reenacted with them.
