Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
Jesus, it's like Sophies Choice, except without all the murder, horror, and death. Okay, mane six:
These two are in the lead:
1. Twilight Sparkle
2. Rainbow Dash
The next three are basically interchangeable:
3. Fluttershy
4. Pinkie Pie
5. Rarity
Finally, and nothing against her, but as Gadora says, she really needs another focus episode or two as catch-up:
6. Applejack
Best Supporting Character: Princess Celestia (Solidified her lead over Spike with one word today.)
Best One-Shot Character: The Great and Powerful Trixie (I know, you're soooo shocked.)

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
*A WILD INTRO HAS APPEARED*
...Oh right. New episode. o.o
THOUGHTS
SpoilerThe stinger joke was fantastic. "Oh no, however shall we find more horses to pull our carriage? Wherever shall we FIND them?!"
Though I'm disappointed that nopony pointed out that they could do it on their own.
The song...is catchy, but not the best song in the series. I think WWU or AotD win that award...though I can see why the staff would have fun with that song.
And naturally, their desired Gala activities weren't going to turn out the way they'd hoped...though there was a hope spot for each of them.
I dunno though...things just seem a little...rushed in this episode. I really wish they had a bigger time slot to expand upon things, but I guess that's not something they could get. And if they did, they'd probably wind up having to fill in some of that time with something else.
...Which is where a Cutie Mark Crusader short would come in handy. ._. Gaaaw that would've been awesome! Curse my brain for making an awesome scenario that makes the real scenario pale in comparison!
Ah well...there were still some good moments here. The gradual insanity explosion of Fluttershy was interesting...I imagine that all the Gala animals are not actually wild at all, but kept in cages for that specific night to be released, and that they aren't used to ponies like Fluttershy who actually want to get close to them. Poor Fluttershy not realizing that the Gala's special night was an orchestrated event.
Which is probably why Pinkie was so confused. I mean, if you saw a flyer for an event declaring it "The Greatest Party Ever, with everything you could imagine!", what would you expect?
It's no wonder she was so confused back in episode 3.
AJ's dreams were clearly dashed by the fact that there was a buffet table. Really, did any of these ponies do actual research into the Ga-oh right. No internet. They probably had no idea what to really expect.
Which is also what happened to Rarity, as we all guessed. So yeah, Prince Blueblood (Huh...so he's a prince? Maybe cousin would've been more accurate...but Faust's own admission is that he's a great relative of some sort...so maybe royal pony blood goes further than we think?) Anyway, Blueblood's a snob. I'm sure somepony guessed that. But my GOODNESS is he a massive snob. He doesn't even bother looking at food before he buys it? ._. That kind of snobbery takes effort.
...No one makes Rarity pay for a meal like Blueblood!
Yes, Blueblood = Gaston. Except a pansy. ._.
And no wonder Celestia wanted Twilight there that night. She has to stand there all night long and welcome guests? GOD that sounds boring. And Celestia can't even say that because she IS a goddess. D:
"Oh sister, it's so good to have you back!"
"It's good to BE back, sis."
"Now I won't be alone for the Grand Galloping Gala!"
"...That...that thing is STILL going on? Where we have to greet every pony who arrives?"
"Yes, and it will be SO much more bearable with you-"
"WASHING MY MANE."
"I...what?"
"I'll be washing my mane that night! Sooo sorry sis, can't go! Why not invite those ponies you like so much? Twilight somethingoranother? Yeah, I'm sure she'd love to spend hours standing in place with you. BYE!" *RUN!*
...Yeah, maybe it's for the best that Luna didn't go to the Gala. ._.
*sigh...* I truly wish there was more to this finale...but I guess we'll just have to wait now...and put all our hopes on season 2.
Still...Ragin' Fluttershy should give the writers a TON of material to work with.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
well, I do suppose user myself up for that pretty hard. Now that I'm coherent (and have stopped laughing at myself); what Applebloom were you referring too, hon?
I do.
Oh, well. She'll come back eventually.
At the head, not the shoulder. The ponies are teensy tiny.
I'm also pretty certain their bodies are uniform, but Pinkie's hair proportions make her look a strange combination of chubby and petite. Consider, when her hair deflated, it would be obvious if she were chubby. Since it didn't jump out at you, it's not an actual visual difference.
I'd be jealous, but you're allowed to have nice things. Also, I'm still missin' Trixie.
Horseapples to you and your working cable television and ability to wake up before noon!
Also, I see what you mean on quoting spoilers, Irbis. Luckily, this was the last quote or I'd have to have read through all of that. It's copy/paste for me from now on!
I'm retreating from the thread to keep the pacing slow, and to not be tempted by sweet, sweet spoilers. Peace friends!

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
Why, Darling, of course I'm always correct!
And the order in which you guys sorted the ponies above pleases me greatly
Though, the one who nominated Nightmare Moon as favourite villain made me chuckle.
Race with one entrant, duh :P
Oh, have new episode in 1080p HDTV.
SpoilerI didn't said it was Ep 26, just it was 'new', didn't I? :P
I just wonder what you guys think about Polish dubbing

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
So I've given it some thought. The Opening picture both frightens and terrifies me (YES THEY ARE DIFFERENT YOU HUSH). Trollestianism is contagious! Irbis and Welf already have it, DBC is showing symptoms! Head for ze hills!
Also, Welf? Masterful use of emotes, friend.Last edited by SiuiS; 2011-05-06 at 05:12 PM.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
...
You have made your post completely unquotable.
I shall have to go manual! (Episode spoilers)
SpoilerPrince is a title for any noble who is not a ruler or the children of dukes, counts, barons, kings, emperors and whatever title there is. Prince Blueblood is a faraway nephew of both Luna and Celestia, according to what Faust said. It's the correct title for that relative in this regard. The anomaly is of course that both Luna and Celestia are still princesses instead of queens, but we know why it's like that.
...Or because executive meddling.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
I had to manually insert the quote tags, which is why it looks that. It's more of an art...
Exactily.Spoiler
Because Celestia only holds the position of Solar Princess, whereas the actual ruler of the land is a pony even older than herself! BWAHAHAHA.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
Great, I felt like doing a writers version of Art of the Dress, and you go and top me! I kid, I kid.
As for the episode:
SpoilerI actually liked the song pretty much. It's not as 'catchy', but I'm a big sucker for chorale and orchestrated pieces, so it soared and felt majestic! I love that!
I felt a bit awkward at all the cast pushing their dreams so far, but it all flowed well, so that's just my own personal plot mongering combined with high empathy talking.
Other high points: Applejack pointing out that they don't wear cloths that much.
Rarity crushing her slipper.
Celestia: Run.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
... I am afraid of clicking your spoiler. It's this strange, Primal fear >_>
and no I didn't read it when I quoted it. So ha!
anyway, I was browsing and found some Incentive to stick around the GitP pony threads during our pony-less lull. Thanqol already drew a rarity and fluttershy! Kairaven and Alterform have done tons of avatars! So much fanfiction!
Wouldn't it be neat to have a sort ofcategorical list of what they've accomplished? I'd like to see, right now without trying, what a lot of you folks are sitting at "points-wise".
Also, GiTP has a friend/foe system I didn't notice. It also has a groups function? Where do I go to learn about the groups function? There should be a pony group.
Ugh. Giving up pony threads is haaaard.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
You should have been expecting 'zero'
you can't make that assertion at all. Knowing what worked doesn't mean they will slavishly stick to a formula; that leads to stagnation. Rather, it means they can cut away what didn't work- which may very well be the catering to little girls part.
Silly Irbis. We only saw them 'fold on everything' they told us they folded on. Decorum requires not broadcasting private matters. When asked directly, Faust said "I wanted one thing, they wanted another. I didn't think it was important enough to fight over, so I let it go."
On the contrary, you seem to advocate fighting tooth and nail on EVERYTHING, no matter how important or relevant. That's not pioneering, and thar's not making a good show. That's being a jerk, and if Faust had that sort of attitude, I doubt MLP:FiM would be as good as it is.
There is moderation in everything, though.
We have good, fun episodes about compromise that make sense, because Faust is willing to compromise in a way that makes sense. There's a granularity where some things are worth the trouble, and others aren't.
Why would fightin be wonderful? It's not the fight, but what you fight for that matters. Some things aren't worth fighting over.
What if they tell Lauren to change AJ's name (oh noes, alcohol!) to Applecute (because it will sell 12% more dolls) - will that be fighting over? What if they tell her to cut Rarity entirely - because her dolls don't sell? Who cares, right? You can tell a story without Rarity, right? :P
Also, the criticism of the first two episodes is that thy would have been better if they were more spread out. They had a rushed, time-is-short-for-production feel that brought the whole thing low.
And I was consistent in my criticism of pacing, too, especially lack of two parters for episodes that demanded them. Lack of two parters is another example of executive meddling, BTW.
I thought your paper was on viral advertising?
Viral advertising generates interest, sure. But viral advertisement and listening to vocal Internet opinion are entirely different; as different as speaking (advertising) and hearing (listening to net hype).
I don't see how a show that is expected to be good, and performing at potential being a match for a show that wasn't expected to perform well and is performing under potential would be disincentive at all. Point in fact, I would see that as "there is amazing room To grow; how do we capitalize on this?". It's all in presentation, I guess.
this is where you are missing a big portion of the human element. I can say for certain that, just because their job is 'unimportant' doesn't mean the top brass doesn't listen to them. I don't mean listen as obey, I mean listen as in take what they say into account.
Plus, Esper has a point - lower staff can have any ideas they want, they are deliberately limited in ability to deliver them if said idea doesn't belong to their job.
Any business which cuts out the voice of the ground floor workers tends to fare poorly compared to more empathic (or empathic seeming) companies.
yeah, that would be nice. I'm not sure I'd be ok if it changed the layout too much though. So I'll be ok if it stays the course.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
Just thought I'd pop in and say that pensivepony has the episode up on YouTube.
EDIT: I finally got around to actually looking at her upload and there's a bit of a glitch in there, near the end. I'd recommend waiting for someone else to upload it.Last edited by Gadora; 2011-05-06 at 06:31 PM.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
What do you mean, "giving up pony threads"? Do you honestly believe that we will go quietly into that grim night, that the long dark tea-time of the pony fandom has arrived? No, I say, no no no no no no no, not at all! Mark my words! Dig the wax out of your ears and listen! We are friends, bound together by the winding path of the pony, by ties stronger than casual acquaintanceship or internet fandom! If there's no episode ahead, we make our own! If there's no new art, we'll make some ourselves! Just who the hay do you think we are, giving up on a fandom just because we have to wait seven months? These characters have opened a door in the universe, and we shall stride boldly through this door, whether we see them in a Paphian embrace or standing tall by another world's heroes, whether we draw them digitally or by hand, whether softly or sharply, whether we simply wish to create a Ponyville that Faust would be proud to stand in or the Equestria of our dreams and phantasies! Do you see this, this burning spirit? This computer of mine is burning red; its loud roar tells me to write ponyfic! It calls out to you as well - can you hear it? What does it say to you, in its friendly howl of unexpressed dreams? Does it say to you, write a ponyfic? Then that is what you must do! Does it say to you, draw an adorable Appledash picture? Then that is what you must do! And in this manner, we'll keep moving forward, creating the road at our feet, the long and winding road that leads through Equestria! And at the end of that road is a second season of joy - the road is dangerous, and fraught with peril, but I trust in my friends! Do you see this, this light of friendship in my eyes? I believe in you, in all of you! I say, a second thread - a third thread - we shall forge these threads in the hopes and dreams of all bronies and fillies, in the raw creative potential of each and every one of us! There is nothing we shall not discuss, bar that which is forbidden and sealed by the ancient laws of the hallowed board; in similar fashion, there is no story we shall not write, no picture that we shall not draw, no anecdote that we shall not relate! Do you hear me, my brothers? Do you see the path that has been placed at our feet by the hands of all those bronies that came before us? Are you ready to fight the fight, to stave off complacency and the waters of the river Lethe, to keep these bonds that have been forged between us strong over the days and weeks to come? Because I am! Because I know what Lauren Faust has given us! All this time, I was blind, but with the eyes of Thanqol I see our destiny! Just who the hay do you think we are?? We're the Playground! We're not ED or Ponychan or the RD Network! We're us! The Playgrounder Bronies!
EEEEEEEEE-YUP!

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
I'd tell you to ask Trixie to include that in OP... But there is something similar in there already, IIRC, which no one was interested in
Also, if I were you, I'd check your mail :P
Also, GiTP has a friend/foe system I didn't notice. It also has a groups function? Where do I go to learn about the groups function? There should be a pony group.
Though, Member List returned, so maybe it will, too.

Re: My Little Pony VI: MUFFINS!
I really can't say much about the dub, since I can't understand a word of it. It seemed all right, but Pinkie Pie's singing voice needs work. On the other hand, Twilight and Applejack sounded pretty good.
