Yo, jabronie! The My Little Pony: Friendzone is Magic thread.

[Reply #160 on:]

^ Love that xD

I've taken the MBTI several times and have gotten either INTJ or ENTJ; I'm definitely going to go with my INTJ side this time, as I really don't want to be Trixie  

Why not both? I've taken on both, and consequently turned myself into a pony ><

Your pony looks great, but I'm not artistic enough to make a combination pony for myself  

TLF, I really don't dislike RD at all; it's just that her arrogance and insensitivity make her the least likable of the mane 6 for me. I do love her loyalty to her friends, though, and I think she usually has the best lines.

See wheras I think characters that are the most far from perfect are the best characters, it's certainly why RD is quite often the character that has to learn something in an episode. I'm trying to suss out who your fave character is... Twilight?

I completely agree that the best characters are often the most flawed; I just think each one is equally flawed, just in different ways, and I find the others' flaws more sympathetic. My favorite's Pinkie Pie, with Rarity being a close second  

[Reply #161 on:]

I could make people ponies, maybe, but I don't want to start making ponies for everyone since I've still got several dozen requests for Futurama stuff, so if I do it'll be after all this other stuff I want to get through.

Well there's a fair few Rarity fans floating around this site, if the poll is anything to go by. Poor AJ, not getting much love.



Although don't get me wrong, she's my second fave, if only because of the competitive dynamic she has with RD, also when she's in a disagreement with Rarity, that stuff's just hilarious cause she pisses off Rarity so much.

editsies:
Debating whether to start getting comic books or whether it's going to be an expense I can't afford. Covers are amusing though xD

I still don't know how to answer that poll.

By the way, I think Daniel Ingram is composing music for the "Equestria Girls" film. I have to wonder if that is true, if they will also be using the original voices as well?

from EQD:

When a crown is stolen from the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle pursues the thief into an alternate world where she transforms into a teenage girl who must survive her biggest challenge yet… high school. With help from her new friends who remind her of Ponyville’s Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, she embarks upon a quest to find the crown and change the destiny of these two parallel worlds.

...okay...

Admittedly, I've heard of worse synopsis or plots, and I suppose Twilight is particularly good at being a fish-out-of-water character.

[Reply #167 on:]

Equestria Girls has a preview

I'm still not fond of that design. - Thank goodness they ditched the 'lips' and the pony features. The only appearance thing that bothers me now is the fact they're impossibly thin. Also, that RD and AJ are wearing skirts, granted, RD is wearing shorts underneath, but then that begs the question as to why put a skirt on over the top?

Because I'm bored, I shall do my screen cap thing. Think of it as a warm up to when new Futurama comes out.

Show spoiler

That's cool.
But that's only Twilight's and Pinkie Pie's cutie marks. Does that mean they are the two major characters in this? (more on this later)


Crystal Empire is where this "portal" to the human world is, apparently. Why must Celestia be at the focus of this? Isn't this Cadence's kingdom?


Continuity.
I do love me some continuity.

I just want to stop this for a moment and admit I watched the first 15 minutes of Littlest Pet Shop just to try it. It was painful. So I won't be watching any more of LPS, and it's not really going to affect me or my enjoyment of MLP.

This movie, however, as much as I really don't want to view it, there's this thing that's popped up called continuity. And I do love me some continuity. And when the actual season returns, I suspect this movie will nestle nicely in the storyline between S3 and S4. So much for a seperate thing like LPS, >< I'm hoping the story is good.



Portal time - let's send the noob Princess in without her friends or support and totally risk her life.
This raises my question that has been around since Equestria Girls was announced: "WHY?! What is the point?!"


First: This is every Bronies reaction when they first saw EG designs.
Second: Spike the dog: *facepalm* Just... there are no words...
Third: Twilight's head's too big for her body. We love ponies because they're pudgy and hugable, these stick-like bodies are ridiculous.


Name all the background ponies! uh, humans!
Thunderlane looks creepy...


Shining Armour? Or love interest?
I have no idea. As long as it's not both (they wouldn't do that, would they?) I'm fine.
EDIT: Someone mentioned it looks more like Soarin'.
I am hoping it's Soarin'


Obvious 'not used to hands' joke.
Also apple.

There's meat in that sandwich. Ponies are vegetarian (established in an episode). Wonder if they dwell on that at all.

Fluttershy is one of the few who don't actually say a word during this preview.


Twilight has her own equivelant of Diamond Tiara - another reason why I don't really want to watch this. the CMC are in school, keep the school issues with them.

The only reason I would even consider liking this, if that character was Trixie. To save this parallell universe from Trixie would be awesome. Or even Discord.


Cue a familiar face.

Firstly: were the 5 of the mane six already existant in this universe or did they come looking for her?

Back to the idea being focused on Twi AND Pinkie, since Twilight can't use magic to jump back to her own universe, so it makes sense to have Pinkie take her back - almost like Double Rainboom style? Here's hoping.


DJ Pon-3

That is all.


Party Hard. CMC style.

This is actually cute. And Scootaloo has best skin colouring BECAUSE IT LOOKS NORMAL.


Seriously, why can't this character be Trixie? This character is certainly channeling Trixie.


That skirt is bugging me like you wouldn't believe.
On the other hand, the ball tricks are a lovely taste of continuity from a couple of previous episodes where Dash is ball bouncing.



They all found each other cause Friendship is Magic.

Also, that hug just looks awkward - not enough weight on thier torsos.

(RD is set to do a leg flick... this whole sceencap is TwiDash shipping fuel.)



Fluttershy looks adorable here.

I'm not 100% sure what's happening, but I think Spike-dog just met Rarity. xD


Change of outfits (in case someone missed that)
Also Snips and Snails.

... Wait. Snips and Snails were chasing a crown the others were trying to get to Twilight a frame ago. That's the "nemesis" character in that vortex thing... perhaps it's really Trixie in disguise? Here's hoping.

edit: yeah, probably not, apparently she's "Sunset Shimmer"


Again, Shining Armour? Or love interest? edit: Or Soarin'? Or Soarin' as a love interest?


Apparently bracelets are square.

Also, this is reflective of Twi's cutiemark, but it just might be my mind overanalysing things.


Scootaloo: What are you? A dictionary?

If you did watch this, I think Ashleigh Ball slipped a bit at the start of this sentence, it starts off sounding more Rainbow Dash than AJ.

[Reply #168 on:]

Ouch! Spike the Dog hurts my eyes. Also yeah...the skin color is throwing me off, seems kind of weird. I'm not even gonna bother with the trailer, these photos have hurt me enough.

[Reply #169 on:]

Too bad the movie doesn't come out earlier, I could have watched it for my culture and art class to make an assignment about

The trailer is a bit weird, and I am REALLY anoyed by the background music "friendship is magic lalalalala-ugh"

[Reply #170 on:]

I'm so nervoucited!

I'm also surprised that everyone has such a negative view of this. Are we forgetting that two of the best episodes of this series were about a fashion show and a sleepover?

Show spoiler

My theory is that Sunset Shimmer, Celestia's former apprentice, went evil and stole the Element of Magic, hiding it in the magic mirror. When she went back in to retrieve it, unbeknownst to her, Twilight followed her to get it back herself. Now, they're trapped in the alternate version of Equestria (where it has become the crown of the Fall Formal Princess) until one of them gets their hooves hands on it. What appears to be a mere popularity contest is actually a dramatic-yet-played-for-laughs coverup of their covert struggle for ownership of the ancient artifact.

Also, Spike is going to find it weird walking on four legs, and Twilight won't understand, and Twilight will find it weird walking on two legs, and Spike won't understand.

[Reply #171 on:]

I'm not being negative... much... There's just some things that really bug me, like Spike and certain characters wearing skirts. There's some things though that I was delighted to see.

That, is an awesome theory. Considering someone said the time might be different like Narnia - Sunset Shimmer may have spent so long in there she built herself a rep, when really she could have just been in there for a couple of hours or something. Although in the preview itself, Celestia seemed to be sending her in just for research - perhaps that's how she lost Sunset Shimmer who liked it so much she never returned.

le edit:

Show spoiler

SUNSET SHIMMER knows a magical path to faraway adventure! Years ago she was also a student of PRINCESS CELESTIA

These were the warning signs.

Actually, I wasn't referring to you. Most PEELers have been very reasonable, interestingly enough.

The Spike thing will depend on how it's played. The skirt thing, on the other hoof hand, is non-issue for me, because it seems to me very informed by stereotype to say certain characters wouldn't wear skirts just because of their personalities, and even more so when you consider that the only version of their personalities that we know don't normally wear clothes in the first place.

As evidence, I submit this picture of Applejack wearing a dress :

[Reply #173 on:]

An' it don't look rite! >__<

Something that always struck me about that scene is the missed opportunity of pointing out that frou-frou dresses can be found just lying around Twilight's home.

Twilight's guilty pleasure of playing dress-up seems something that could generate a fair bit of air time.

I should write another fanfic!

[Reply #174 on:]

"Beggin' pardon Rarity, but we don't normally wear clothes."

I find that pic so amusing. Applejack needs to pretty up more often. Maybe not in baby blue  and pink >< Red, perhaps.

The fanbase is out of control! And they talk about love and tolerating, tsk.

Zed; it could be just from a dress stash Pinkie Pie has. For dress emergencies

Are you even aware of what's going on in that video?

Vaguely. Even if the word "Hack" wasn't in the title, I would have guessed they were mucking around with the system - if only to create the mlp theme at the end. Which, is clever of them, and I do appreciate the final product, but I didn't need to be shown how, it was kinda boring for someone who's more Sony inclined, I tried...

Yes... this is very basically what they did.  More to the point, they just Matrix'd the gameboy and made it did what they wanted it to do from inside a videogame.  It'd be like if you were playing MGS4 and you reloaded your gun a thousand times to write a code so that psycho-mantis ran around with ponies for hands.

Although it sounds cool as a chip-tune, the only chip-tune I reallylike is Blackout City Artist: Anamanaguchi

And to keep this pony related, here's the PMV



If you haven't seen Ponies The Anthology or the sequel, they're worth a look.

[Reply #179 on:]

So I drew fluttershy on my phone's cover, and when I was at the pool watching my niece when a girl next to me(she was 12 I think) asked me "What is that on your cover?" And I was like "ehm, A pony..." she: "Oh cool! That's fluttershy!"

I made a jump of excite in my head 

[Reply #180 on:]

For the record, the comics are pretty well written and the art is really quite wonderful.

Honestly, they have some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen in a comic.

Oh, and I definitely want to see a complete side series about Spike and Celestia.

And here is, in case you missed it, another Equestria Girls trailer This one looks so much more promising if you ask me(tough it does spoil the plot quite a lot)


Some framegrabs:

Show spoiler

Rainbow's CM is here too


"Princess Twilight Sparkle!"


"We have so much to discuss."


Don't be so shy Twilight ^^


What made her so tired?


Grrrrr, I got you now!


NOT


YES.


And there goes her crown...


...and Sunset Shimmer


I just love RD's shocked face here!


She has not yet found out about hands and THEIR magic... 


"I don't think that's how the new you is supposed to..."


-Nevermind


Luna as principal?


"I HAVE NO IDEA! "


Support is everything


The hell was she drinking?


Sneaky Sunset


I love those dresses, those must have bee made by Rarity!


This is serious business


The magic of friendship is everywhere!


"Did that dog just talk?!"


"The talking dog is the weird thing about all this?.."

Also this video with leaked images I guess... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sy28gBO3Ozw

Eternium's putting me out of a job.

Although I have a few comments to add

Show spoiler

I think I found "Brad's" counterpart

Although I could be wrong...

I suspect the "I have no idea" is fast becoming a meme, but there already is a "I have no idea" meme isn't there?


I don't think she's spittaking because of the drink (lulz, apple cider/alcohol reference)
I think she's spittaking for the same reason I had to double take:
Pinkie is defying gravity again.
edit: Yep, found a frame-by-frame

Show spoiler

I know trailer isn't much to go on, but Sunset Shimmer uses her magic to escape Twilight, why didn't Twilight just use her magic to grab the crown? Pff, technicalities.

I find this Dash face more amusing:

It's in such contrast to the rest of them.

AJ, where'd your freckles go?

Also CMC is back, Scoots momentarily breaks out of her chicken dance xD

RD's got some sweet moves.

That one pony with the curly hair and glasses looks like Emma Stone in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (which may be on TV right now and I may have watched part of it because I love Emma Stone and be the only reason I'll ever bring this movie up again in any context).

[Reply #190 on:]

I love that, TLF! Maybe I'm just too tired, but that image of Rainbow Dash at the end made me laugh out loud. Thanks for taking the time to make that.  

Also, I know I'm biased in her favor, but Rarity is way cooler than that says.

[Reply #191 on:]

Yeah but these days it's cool to not acknowledge just how cool she really is.

Actually, I am planning on seeing the film tomorrow, Saturday. I vowed to myself I'd only see the film if it was less than an hour drive to the theater, knowing that I probably wouldn't drive seven hours to the other side of the state, but after they revealed more theaters, several of them happen to be the closest theaters to where I live. I'm obligated as a brony to do so, but I've also been anticipating this and have been excited for the event. Theater is like fifteen minutes away but we stopped going to it now that it has fallen under poor management and disrepair... no wonder that theater's showing it. Still, I actually quite like the theater- they serve slushies and nacho chips and cheese. I feel like I should wear a dark hoodie and thick shades when I purchase my ticket...

[Reply #196 on:]

I wish I could go see it in theaters, but I don't think it's playing anywhere within several hours of me.

[Reply #197 on:]

I approve of your choice of film. I also went and saw this.

Frida; Well I hope the film makes up for the poor management. Enjoy your nachos and slushie!

I wish I could go see it in theaters, but I don't think it's playing anywhere within several hours of me.

I feel your pain, having lived in the country for ages, there's some films that don't make it to the local theatre. Luckily, a trip to the city can be done in a day.

August 24th. Freaking, August, why must it take so long for it to reach Australian cinemas?!

[Reply #198 on:]

I approve of your choice of film. I also went and saw this.

Then again, my yearly cinema budget consists of enough for two films. Technically, since I used half of this year's allotment to take a friend to see Star Trek with me, I could easily requisition additional funds for Equestria Girls without a radical alteration of my financial paradigm.

<SEL2000>: But you only stamped the paperwork four times!

[Reply #199 on:]

It's on Youtube if you want to watch something that's clearly been recorded with a potato mobile phone. I, uh, may have seen it that way, but that won't change the fact that I'll go see it in cineman when it's out, because I feel bad about copywrite stuff.
I know the million dollar question, is it worth seeing in cinema?



My favourite scene/facial expression in the entire thing;

Show spoiler

Although, the cute little Sparity moments amused me also,

Show spoiler

Although, now I say "cute" and look at that picture...



Speaking of Rarity, I was fiddeling with hair stuff before leaving and started wondering if I should see if I could make the blind bags into accessories, didn't end up making much, just taking pics of my Blind Bag Rarity frolicking in ribbon.


They sit well tied to clips, although they look like they've hung themselves.

And yes I did try it on, pic should be up on PEELer pics soon.

I would love to do this with Futurama characters, but I've not found figurines small enough to do this with.
