My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[Reply #80 on:]

I wasn't aware of that, having only been watching casually.  Care to elaborate?

Well, in addition to the blatant arc concerning the Grand Galloping Gala, the characters themselves evolve over the course of their experiences, in ways extremely consistent with their personalities and histories. For a show that was supposedly made to be viewed in any order, there are a lot of relevant callbacks to previous episodes.

Also, the worldbuilding is very well-structured and consistent, and that is pleasing to a continuity wonk such as myself.

All unicorns can teleport once a day.  Everyone knows that.  It's in the Monster Manual.

In "Applebuck Season", Twilight teleports quite casually three or four times in a row

TOTPPD!

Definitely start with the pilot two-parter. It gets even better as the series progresses, though, and has a very subtle thread of continuity that pays off if you watch it through from the very beginning.

Having watched the pilot (both parts), I can quite firmly re-state that it's a generic children's show designed to push "lessons" on kids. Combined with subpar animation, this pisses me off.

However, having then watched part of the next episode, I can say the animation does improve, and there does appear to be some sort of attmept at building a consistent "world". Not that it's a world I'm terribly interested in, but I can appreciate what they're trying to do.

I'm on the fence here.

I'll finish the first five episodes before I come down on one side or the other.

It's a children's show, tnuk.  It's definitely about morality building for little girls; there's not much more to it than that.

I can dig that art... however I think Leela's cutie mark should be different. I get that it's her bracelet that her mom gave her but I feel cutie marks pertain only to what you're good at (if I take Cutie Mark Chronicles seriously, and I do) and Leela's good at giving ass kickings so why not a boot? I'm really particular aren't I?

Hm. Bender should be smoking a cigar, but no My Little Pony would EVER do that to their pony-lungs.

[Reply #89 on:]

Bender's cutie mark should have been the Asteroid chunk from Godfellas.

They would if it spat out bubbles in lieu of smoke.

I find this to be squee-inducing.

[Reply #92 on:]

Why is there a thread?

[Reply #93 on:]

Why is there a thread?

Because this is the TV thread and MLP: FiM is a current TV show.

I don't really know why I'm posting this, but hopefully it will keep you people preoccupied and ceasing to post my little pony pictures on the rest of PEEL..

Why did you post that? It's causing me to get distracted!

Season Two begins on September 17th.

Too bad I don't have the Hub. Just gotta wait until they come out on YouTube.

[Reply #98 on:]

I only heard about the Hub when I was at Botcon 2011 Pasadena, CA. Season 1 hasn't even aired in Australia yet so I'll be downloading Season 2 like what I did with season 1.

[Reply #99 on:]

Below is an image from season two which has been released. While there is little of interest that can be determined from it (apart from the fact that Rainbow Dash might possibly be shouting "Stampede!"), I am very amused by the depiction within the closest window on the right-hoof side.

I've watched that series from the beginning. Fluttershy singing Hellfire is hilarious yet oddly disturbing, and the polka Pinkie Pie performs to protect Ponyville from the plentiful and proliferous parasprites is perfectly priceless.

Spoilered Xanfor? I nearly died laughing at this picture! You have questionable taste in humor, or perhaps I do....

Quadruple posting is spamming. Also, you is a silly pony, Applejack! ~ Xanfor

[Reply #109 on:]

Why do I even click this thread anymore?

[Reply #110 on:]

 For the intellectual stimulation?

[Reply #111 on:]

It was much nicer before the picture spamming in non-picture-spamming threads.

If this keeps up I won't be able to stop myself from posting Luna in socks.

[Reply #112 on:]

I don't know where all the hatin' about you posting TOTPonies is coming from, Xanfor.

Lesbian ponies! Human ponies! Portal ponies! And I don't even like this show!

[Reply #117 on:]

But where are the Human Lesbian Portals?

And probably just as important a question, what are they?. What the fuck are they?

[Reply #118 on:]

What about the Human Lesbian Portal Ponies?

[Reply #119 on:]

They exist. I'm not going to tell you where.
