my little ponies

Post » Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:18 pm

:P

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think I had a pony toy that must've been Twilight Sparkle, if that character existed at the time. I distinctly remember having a pony with a purple mane, and the brand on her flank looks very familiar. Or I could be deluding myself. It's not like I can even remember things that happened a month ago, let alone 20 or so years ago.


You could always find it! Or, you could maybe google the old MLP set and if you find the one you had, you'd know for sure!

Nah, we got rid of them a long time ago. It isn't really that important for me to know one way or t'other.

Okay, finished the episode with the dragon. The ending was somewhat unexpected, but entertaining. I thought the art direction for the Ursa Minor in the Trixie episode was rather nice - a living constellation! I think the thing that is oddest to me is the snout length (or lack thereof) for the ponies. But I suppose it was done to humanize them more (not unlike why some people think smoosh-faced dogs and cats are cute). I mean, they already lack thumbs and most other humanoid characteristics, no need to alienate the audience completely, right? Hm. I'm glad the art directors aren't afraid to completely go over the top with the facial expressions - it really helps make the characters more lively. I can think of many cartoons where the rigidity of the features - although more realistic - made the character's facial expressions rather flat and watered down. Given that the character models - the ponies - lack features that can be expressive and recognizable (hands, humanoid body stance, and other non-vocal cues), the over-expressivity of the faces is a good thing. And also hilarious.

Well watch an episode and find out! Here, I'll even make it extra easy for you! :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeJ6-gN0eB4

I'll have you know though, you might want to watch a couple episodes first to get the feel for it. ;)


I clicked that link out of curiosity, and well........ :wub:

That picture makes me laugh, but isn't that inappropriate for the forums? This thread is kinda only just allowed to keep existing as it is...

locking the thread because people who don't like the content and are being inflamatory would be silly: just look at the metal thread, there are rules against inflamatory remarks in the OP. If I were to post something inflamatory in there, I'd get warned, and the thread would continue. This thread is no different and to lock it just because some members are posting inflamatory content would not be fair in the slightest. Just like how people who don't like metal don't post in the metal thread, people who don't like MLP shouldn't post here.

That said, yes, the image in question does violate the forum rules

I think either I misunderstood your post, or you misunderstood mine. I think I have completely misinterpreted what you are saying, for which I apologise, but I don't have a problem with My Little Pony....Were you aiming that more at the image, or what I said?

Pinky Pie is completely out of left-field, the incongruity of her reactions to the situations tends to startle me to giggling.

Sometimes the show can be a little dopy (I have yet to see any redeeming qualities in Rarity, despite her supposed "generosity"), but overall I haven't been put off by the plots, dialog, or characters. Unlike all the drama, angst, and unreal situations in advlt shows, the plots for these episodes (barring the first two) are just about mundane situations that I can relate to, rather than end-of-the-world, high drama/tension/explosions. Even the end of the whole Nightmare Moon thing was an interesting twist (i.e. what finally ends up happening to Nighmare moon herself).


I quite like Pinky Pie sometimes, it's about 50-50 of her either annoying me, or making me laugh. For some reason it's Rainbow Dash I can't stand. Just how she's sort of a little bit arrogant, or something, and her voice annoys me :whistling:

Sometimes it just gets a little bit too cheesy for me and I find myself skipping parts of it. Ok I have only watched two episodes, the first two, so I'm making a bit too much of a generalisation here, but just...the whole Elements of Harmony thing, it just doesn't quite appeal to me, particularly the scene at the end of the second episode, I skipped that.
But that's just personal preference.

What I'm saying is if this thread continues past here without getting spammy (which seems quite likely) then it should be given the same respect as any other "Unofficial" thread. The reason the other threads were closed was because it was getting very spammy with a poll of who was the brony president of the forum rather than talking about the content and merits of the show. Given genuine conversation and appreciation of the show, a few bad apples shouldn't be able to ruin it for everyone else, just like in any other unofficial thread. We just need to stay on the topic of the show rather than devolve into things not related to it like we did last time.

I think either I misunderstood your post, or you misunderstood mine. I think I have completely misinterpreted what you are saying, for which I apologise, but I don't have a problem with My Little Pony....Were you aiming that more at the image, or what I said?

You mentioned the thread getting locked, which I say would be quite unfair if it were to get locked because of other people flaming in the thread. So long as we stay on topic, we should be given the common respect of any other unofficial thread.

On that note: I don't remember reading it yet, but for those who don't know: http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/journal/40428056/, due to various reasons including focusing on her family more.

Well, "focusing" as in "enhancing it with a fusion of Faust/McCracken genes". Which, in itself, should make this world even more awesome.

Just wait till you get to episode 16. You'll love Rainbow Dash, and it's no longer cheesy. The first five or so serve more as an introduction than anything else. I started with 15 and loved it. :P

Oh man, that's going to take me ages! She might start growing on me, I don't dislike her quite as much as I did in the first one...I'm maybe going to watch another ep tonight, it'll be my treat to myself if I get lots of work done :lol:

I see your avatar just got a whole lot more manly.

Yes, the more MLP the better! I find that watching it before I sleep makes sure I don't have any nightmares. :happy:

And yes, I mean I had to show the macho side of ponies, didn't I? If not me, then who? :P

Since you're already has a real Pony in it, it doesn't have to be changed and is perfectly awesome! :celebration:

Edit:

No problem dude! You can show your gratitude by strangling some sense into Skooma here. :P

The sad thing is, (sad being subjective) the more people enter the thread to talk [censored] about the ponies, the more people get drawn in. It's insidious.

Oh well. I will not surrender to this pony plague. But I sure have fun watching the resistors fall and get all starry eyed.
