Re: My Little Pony XXIX: The Spoilers have been DOUBLED!
Okay, here's the question:
We've had our Luna episode. So when do we see her again? What role does she have in this setting that would necessitate her appearance again?Avatar by Glasswhistle

Re: My Little Pony XXIX: The Spoilers have been DOUBLED!
It is well written with some interesting characters. It isn't the "anvils and tea parties" that most people think when they imagine children's cartoons. The show is written and designed with adult audiences in mind, with the idea that they could watch it with their children, and so there is something there for older people to enjoy as well.
This isn't just me making stuff up, either. The writers have specifically said that they intended the material to be enjoyable to people watching it of all ages, despite its intended demographic. They also intended for the show to avoid being a stereotypical "girl show" and so handled material naturally and maturely, rather than just whatever silly reason came to mind for the week.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Heh, heck yes.
I feel fire in my cheeks what have you done oh Celestia
O//////////O
I know it’s a little belated, but still. Happy Birthday Commadore!
Huh. I’ll definitely have to keep an eye on this.
I really hope he says yes.
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s much of one. I could see her showing up maybe as often as Celestia, but due to Twilight’s special connection with Celestia over Luna, it will still be most likely significantly less. Unfortunately, I really only foresee her once, maybe twice more before the end of the season; and only with one or two lines at that.Last edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-10-24 at 01:43 PM.

Sowwy. I removed the links I found in my earlier post.
Pony Dreams
Spoiler
I don't have time to catch up on the thread properly, just wanted to say that I had an awesome pony dream lol. It was sort of a voluntary version of the matrix being run in a space station on the moon. I haven't read any fanfics like it either.
All the ponies were in suspended animation so they could play in a virtual Equestria while aging much more slowly. Something happened, and some not-so-nice folks found it. Remember when we were talking about ponies taking out milspec hardware? What's even more awesome than that? Half a dozen pastel-colored ponies neutralizing half a dozen "super star destroyer" type ships with a rainbow. They didn't destroy them, just disabled them and then Twilight "OP" Sparkle teleported the enemy fleet back home. Oh, and that rainbow friendship beam? Does NOT play nice with technology. Pretty much just turns it off. The fleet commanders had a very nice "Uh oh" moment as their expensive space bricks spent a few dozen seconds free-falling toward the lunar surface before they got sent Away.
It was pretty epic. I'm writing it down here during my lunch break in a rambling "gotta get it written down" mode so I don't forget.
Anyway, see you later ponies.

Re: My Little Pony XXIX: The Spoilers have been DOUBLED!
Didn't a recent interview say something to the effect of "you'll get enough Luna to make you happy"? I can not imagine that being said with a straight face if we only get one episode. Could only happen if they didn't know anything about us at all. From that I'd have to expect her to show up in every single episode from now on... but that's probably just me so a little less, but definitely more than this one episode?
Maybe she'll show up instead of Celestia in some scenes, because Celestia is busy or whatever... or drop by to talk to Twilight about magic or something... Twilight is often up late studying anyway.

Oddly fitting lesson from Luna episode. Sometimes it's just more fun to be scared. You could try addressing us in the traditional royal canterlot voice and see what happens though.

Re: My Little Pony XXIX: The Spoilers have been DOUBLED!
Yeeg. Feel sorry for the poor guy, but good on you for at least looking for the answer rather than beating up on him.
For myself at least, it's kind of a combination of the following:
- Great animation (facial expressions are hillarious)
- Surprisingly deep characters
- Decent stories, with lessons that are actually applicable for all people.
- A combination of good jokes, slapstick, and shout outs to keep episodes entertaining
And yes, even though the lessons are all about friendship (and people will probably cringe at the idea of being taught that by pastel ponies), they do it very well in the show. They don't often smack it in your face.
Loyalty to one's friends, being generous by giving of yourself to friends in need, looking after them when they are down, inspiring them when they are scared. These are all useful tips on maintaining friendships that are not limited to just 5yo's
I also appreciate that the show doesnt limit itslef to just the one side of each of these lessons. For example, generosity to your friends is good, but at the same time it does teach that you shouldn't give to excess in doing so. There's also a lesson tucked in there about not being overly critical about a sincerely given gift, even if you don't want it.
Here's a couple more reviews that say things more comprehensively than I could:
CR's MLP G4 Retrospective
SF Debris MLP Review (This one mostly focuses on the opening two parter until the last few minutes, and is not as overly positive as other reviews I've seen, but that's probably because it's one of those "snark as you watch it" reviews.)
And yeah, as for what your friend see in it? As a military person, I suspect that the aspects of loyalty, and camraderie amongst a tight-knit group of friends may be something that resonates with him. Not to mention that it does have its funny/awesome/sad moments as well. (Of course, this is just me speculating)

WHY DO I NEVER TIRE OF THIS NEW BEST PONY?
Also, this is the best reaction video. That is all.
Ye Olde Cuddlefort
Spoiler
A hatch slowly and silently opens up behind Candles. A dark blue hoof peeks up like a periscope, and makes a zipping motion; silence is required from the other ponies. It pops back down, then snakes back to Candle's tail, holding a note and a safety pin. Being careful not to alert the other pony, the note is fastened to Candle's tail, and the hoof retracted, but not before leaving him a bottle of root beer.
The note reads:
Spoilerdear ponee (soree don't no yur naym)
theese is good ponees. yuu shood git huggs.-Paytron
ps hear is root beer. is good
Clearly, the perpetrator is a master of stealth and subtlety. Tracking him down will be nearly impossible. Good thing that Amish pony has an airtight alibi; he's just been rooting around inside this hatch here the whole time. Cross one suspect off the list.

Re: My Little Pony XXIX: The Spoilers have been DOUBLED!
You mean that's not how your games of Risk go?
Thank you. It's rather nice seeing all the positive response to that post– useful for fighting a few of my myriad insecurities.
I'm preeeetty sure I didn't make the Twimotes. The Seekrit Pony Projekt emotes, sure, but that was really just a matter of re-sizing someone else's vectors. On that note, I notice that he's got a new set up; anyone have a recommendation for a free program that's easy to do batch resizes with? I'd rather not spend quite so much time on this set if it's easily avoidable.
Really, what I have to say has already been said: most people come for the ponies, but stay for the bronies. And, while I can sympathize, trying to ditch work early for Pony is seriously not proper. You can tell him that I went "tut tut" at him, should you so desire, but please don't be too hard on the guy, 'tis a good show, after all.
These ponies telling me I'm awesome are putting a bit of a spring in my step. Thank you for letting me know of your approval.
Nope, They simply sit at home. Unlike many sites, bans are permanent. Makes them a rather serious thing. It does take a bit to earn the ban though, and the mods really do take bannings quite seriously.
Do I need to join in on the staring? We can take shifts if you'd like.

Yay!
@Kurgan You're welcome. I rather glad to get such a positive response.

I follow Starcraft! And Day9 is great! And a merger of Husky and Ponies would be the best thing ever. I was actually going to say merging Psy and Ponies, but that... might... well, uh... It'd be hilarious but it'd probably be against forum rules to talk about the results.

Hug Fortress
SpoilerA cloud of dust appears on the horizon, getting nearer and nearer at an almost unnatural rate. Inches from the fortress' glorious plush architecture, something within screeches to a halt.
As the dust clears, an earth pony is revealed, panting heavily. His coat is largely khaki-green, with large patches of darker or lighter greens and some dark grey. (essentially, the same pattern as my current frogatar. Really need to get around to getting that made...)
His flank proudly bears this; in white.
He falls to his knees, wheezing and spluttering as he desperately tries to regain his breath. ”Hug… fortress!” *pant, gasp* “wootage!” *wheeze*
