Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Just watched the second episode.
Thoughts:
SpoilerI must say they certainly pulled out the stops for this. There're plenty of genuinely funny moments and wackiness thrown in.
Flutterb**** is so going to be a meme now. Even more than Slaughtershy.
I was a little disappointed at the way DisQord let the mane six hit him with the Elements, though I suppose one could chalk that to overconfidence. I was hoping for some half-hearted fight scene at the very least with his exploding chocolate milk of this.
Chaosville is my new Ponyville. Seeing the Carousel floating upside down was gold.
I was kinda surprised at how Rainbow Dash was portrayed in here. I would have thought they would find her in Cloudsdale rather than near her home. Then again, to paraphrase Applejack, "Same way he made you think that three ton stone was a diamond."
Balloon chase scene was awesome. So. Awesome.
Rarity: I thought you're supposed to secure the ropes.
Pinkie: Oops.
EDIT: One more. Exasperated Twilight is best Twilight.
Necklace.
Necklace.
Necklace.
Necklace.
And.
Big Crown Thingie.
Congratulation, Spike. You're the new Rainbow Dash.Last edited by Grif; 2011-09-24 at 11:34 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Let's just go ahead and say the whole episode was awesome, eh?
Man, I wish I had an avatar like you guys. You can be portrayed as things! Whereas I, alas, cannot.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I love that "I shall call it... 4chan!" image.
I think DisQord let them win, but it wasn't supposed to be obvious. (Since that would diminish their victory)
Sort of how Q 'let' Picard win.Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-09-24 at 11:37 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I thought you needed special dimensions or something for an avatar. Otherwise I would totally be rocking Clubs Deuce right now.
Yeah, the I shall call it 4chan image made me giggle like an insane circus performer when I first saw it.
I think I've got the hang of these multi-quote things...

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
100x100 pixels if I remember right. There's free programs to resize an image.
Irfanview is good, (Menubar->Image->Resize/Resample) if your current image editor/viewer doesn't do resizing. Everypony has a different favorite image viewer so if you don't like that one, there will probably be a lot of other suggestions here shortly.
Edit: Just for reference, I totallystoleborrowed this image. I can't draw. At all. I wish I could.Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-09-24 at 11:54 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
According to the Bronycon Q&A, Lauren basically wrote Discord as Q from the get go, and were going to use a sound-alike. They decided to spring for the real guy. So the request came from the MLP side of production
Maybe, although I think the episodes were pretty much in the can before S1 even aired, since they were part of the S1 production schedule. Hence the remastered theme song that won't appear until episode 3.
And Jayson claims they don't intentionally add stuff for bronies, all the stuff we pick up on are just things the writing crew and artists find amusing themselvesLast edited by Eakin; 2011-09-24 at 11:55 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Tell ya what. It was the diamond dog thing, right?
In the wry, very beginning of the Pony Avatar thread, there is a list of stuff- pose, coat color, etc. Fill that out for me, and get me some reference photos (I remember you wanting the Diamond Dog-father, right? I know who Vetinari is because of Dexam and wikipedia, I'll need visuals) and I'll work on a rough for you. I'd it works, I'llbribepay offsomehow convince somepony to make it look, y'know, presentable and avatar sized.
Deal?
This agreement thing, I'm not used to it. Apologies if my reaction were...
*remembers at least two 'don't even bother worrying about it's*
Right. Ne'ermind.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I'm seriously flattered right now. It means a lot that you would go out of your way to do something like this for me.
The thing is, I asked a guy to do an avatar for me already! He said he would work on it. I was just kind of, you know, wistfully sighing, thinking about the avatar wonders you fellows must frolic in every day. Or something.
But seriously, thanks for the offer.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I don't know...
I'd say it's more of a cannon myself.
Wait!!
You were there too! What was on your nametag? Titanium Fox, Orzel, Psycho Shutin, and myself all somehow missed you!
(P.S. If anypony else was there, please mention it.)
To clarify on the question:
SpoilerWhat Thiessen actually said was more along the lines of Hasbro not being willing to sink resources into planning and producing higher-quality show-accurate toys without a certainty on a return on their investment. Thiessen's solution was to make it so that Hasbro can't ignore us by converting more bronies.
Ah can honestly say that Ah ain't never looked at one of your posts.
Congrats on getting that one, by the way.
SpoilerUmm... would you be willing to share what irked you so much about the episodes? That's a pretty harsh thing to say about these two episodes.
Jayson Thiessen answered this one:
They had originally intended to cast someone for the part who could sound like him, but along the way, somepony came up with the idea of just getting the actual Q to play Discord, and Hasbro agreed.
Unfortunately, getting celebrity voices like this can be pretty expensive, so it won't happen often.
So yeah, it was the pony crew that asked John de Lancie to play the part; John de Lancie knew nothing about the series before he played Discord.
So Everypony, I'm back from BroNYcon!
I met Titanium Fox, Psych Shutin, and Orzel there. (Kairaven, where were you?!)
Some more things that I thought were interesting from the Q&A:
SpoilerNo Weird Al this season, but Thiessen would like to get Weird Al in the future.
more monsters (not sure if plural)
Another villain, most likely related to a future S2 two-parter
When asked about S3, Thiessen would be fired if he answered.
Edit: Forgot to mention:
The A New Hope ending was originally longer and made pretty much shot for shot after Star Wars, but was cut down due to time constraints.
All in all, I had an excellent time, and would encourage more of you to come next time (especially if they manage to get Lauren Faust there next time).
Oh yeah, pictures; Titanium Fox has those. For now, bed. I'm exhaustedLast edited by Vent Reynolt; 2011-09-25 at 12:13 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I hope he returns, and that they're able to afford him. I also hope he checks out the show and likes it. I thought I heard that a bunch of other famous people who have become bronys. Or at least like the show somewhat. I could have sworn one of them was the actor who portrayed Westly. It'd be hilarious to have an episode with a bunch of folks from Star Trek voicing some of the characters.
Of course, the show being able to afford them is another issue entirely.
If you can open the image itself from it's original location in a new page, you should just be able to paste that URL into the avatar section. LJ may be blocking that however.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
this got said in a write-up of bronycon
And vice versa. Apparently on the subject of show-accurate toys, Hasbro is "looking into it". It's some kind of enormous financial undertaking to rework everything now that it's all in production, and apparently they just don't really see the need—I guess it's selling fine as-is.
do they not realize from the multiple online petitions and who knows how many individual emails/letters that if they made show accurate stuff we cold not not throw our money at them fast enough?Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I can understand the difficulty, the toys were probably already in production before the show started, plus there's the issue of an entire warehouse (at least) full of prepackaged toys already made, plus factories with manufacturing lines already established, plus an established market (I believe the toys were in constant production even while the show was not running)
Vs. the potential market of the current bronys, while enthusiastic, in no way compares to the market of 5-12 girls in the countries the toys are being sold in.
HOWEVER, and I've seen this suggestion on some of the Youtube comments, if you want to show support for the show, (since Hasbro makes more on the toys than they do on the show) you can buy some and donate them to a local children's hospital. (Like Child's Play does with games and toys) Those places are always looking for toys, I bet.

Hardly warranted indeed! Just slate your grievances at the next meeting.
Could have sworn you said you were going to bed about 20 minutes before this post. Ponies. They do that to you.
Yeah, if you are talking about the getting an avatar from the avatar thread, the backlog they have is large and very few people are working on them. The wait depends, but it is usually longish.
Just picking a random quote to say welcome!
