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!

Turns out she's a natural pink, she just dyes her mane and acts serious to cultivate the image.

Uh, I'm pretty sure this is canon. Ponyville Confidential showed her dying it.

@Shota: This really shows how expressive the show can be. Other flash animations need to take the hint.

[up][up]Yes, but I'm sure we've discussed that before, several times. I'm just surprised that he never caught it earlier.

Also, Rarity is the prettiest pony.

@JT: I guess that's the nice bit about getting the fundamental stuff right. Once you get the basic motions down, you can build on nearly everything else.

Like going from the same 3 or 4 ponies in a crowd to whole scenes where the same ponies barely repeat. It still amazes me even though it's probably relatively easy. It has made identifying BG ponies a futile exercise though. tongue

I mean, the show never looked bad to begin with, but the fact that they keep building on it and find new ways to improve on it is just phenomenal. Flash has gotten a bad rap, but that's because it's always (and still) used as a way to cheap out. But now we have a bunch of shows that prove what can be done.

Oh she actually is pink? Huh, well then. Hurray for correct guessing.

In other news, just rewatched the Mushroom Samba episode of Bebop. Oh man, Edward. [lol]

Yup, she's naturally pink, which probably shouldn't be an impediment to holding public office considering how everyone ELSE looks.

@Mayor Mare having a naturally pink mane: Well, I most certainly did not see that for the mayor. I personally thought she went to make it pink to look younger.

Nope, Pinkie specifically said that the mayor was NOT naturally Gray.

@Ed: Yeah, they've definitely been pushing themselves in each season. And going by the finale, it's paid off. Watching the first season you'd never expect to see something like that.

The mayor now works at the Hayburger, because who even knows what she does any more.

The presence of a princess in Ponyville doesn't necessarily mean the Mayor doesn't have anything to do. I mean, the President isn't the mayor of Washington, D.C.

Those were truly some ridiculous lighting effects.

[up]I guess. But the mayor has never done anything very important, which is more my point.

If anything she'll just get to relax while Twilight does all the work. Or maybe Twilight will officially hire her to take care of the boring bits of paperwork or something.

I guess it would help if we actually saw the mayor run the town on occasion.

We have seen her run the town. Like that time where... um... she gave that speech for Winter Wrap-Up! And when... she... tried to get AJ to pay for town hall?

Okay, maybe we haven't really seen her do anything mayoral.

No, Twilight, she doesn't. That was such a long time ago, she's forgotten.

But we probably never will, for the same reason we never see the princesses run Equestria- it's boring, especially for the target audience.

I now want to see an episode devoted to the Mayor's reelection campaign, where ponies start asking what she's actually done as mayor and she can't answer. Leading to Twilight being unknowingly put on the ballot.

It'd be like that Powerpuff Girls episode where Fuzzy Lumpkins gets elected mayor of Townsville.

It would be hilarious if the Mayor runs against Twilight to reclaim Ponyville, and in the end the only ponies who vote for her are herself and Twilight, who doesn't want the responsibility anyway. Or some other random pony runs against her. Like Pinkie or something.

No, seriously, I'd really like to see an episode where one of the mane six runs for mayor. They wouldn't win obviously but it would be great.

I bet the mayor will be like Twilight's prime minister now.

Either that or Twilight wins... and then appoints Mayor Mare to be the Minister of Town or something, which just so happens to encompass all of the Mayor's previous duties.

[up][up]Nah, she'll just give that position to one of her friends. Nepotism, thy name is Princess Twilight.

[up] And Mayor Mare is overjoyed.

I don't think any of her friends would want the position. Everyone else has jobs to do and/or wouldn't want the responsibility.

I still wonder if Twilight's going to get guards. Or her own personal student now, or champion or what have you
