Ponythread LV:55 Ponythread learns Agility!

[Soras Teva Gee]

I think I've died and gone to Tartarus.

Nah there's much worse out there

Even without weather control. How many dudes can you ferry on boat into unfriendly territory? The handicap in numbers alone should give conquistadors trouble. And I doubt ponies are susceptible to human disease, so there's no advantage to be had from sudden population drop and crumbling society.

Well actually enough simply for transit, human have waged war by boat since time began almost.

Now on diseases there's actually the thought that Eurasia had the communicable diseases because they had domesticated animals. Pigs, cows... horses. Which created a sort of pressure cooker for transferring them over generation. The Americas lacked them, ponies do not.

D&DeeDee! That was one of my favorite episodes.

P.S- How will Action Hank fare against Mane Cast? I mean g4 mane cast are not evil like pony puff princess, unless it's "rainbow factory" and "cupcake" fan fic. But Action Hank could challenge a honorable combat against Mane Cast, or it could be a friendly rivalry. Who would win in the fight (one on one, one against all, or 6 against 6).

There's more where that came from! Samurai Jack? Time Squad? Kids Next Door? Lots of good oldies....

Samurai Jack was great, I even kinda got an Aku feel from the supposed S3 pony villain.

KND was fun too. Time Squad ... Time Squad ... that was the one with the girly robot and the big dude who traveled back in time to fix history with this boy, right? That was lots of fun

oldies............


*feels positively ancient

Well, I did love Tom and Jerry too. I mean, who didn't watch Tom and Jerry? And lots of other classic cartoons ... Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and of course Disney was always showing on one channel or another.

I am 31 and I remember a lot of those shows. Only one I got into late was Ed, Edd, and Eddie. It is good but you need to watch it for the more subtle humor. Same goes for stuff like Cow and Chicken. Cartoon shows in the 90's had a great deal to work to. Batman, Superman, Teen Titans helped get back a lot of DC followers due to not being hokey like The Justice Friends. Even CN did spoofs on these because of how bad they were. A lot of crap got past the radar in the 90's.

Toonami helped show how wonderful old shows like Thundercats and Voltron were. Even He-Man was an okay looking thing compared to some of the stuff today. As an example Dexter's Lab was great for the humor as well as refrences to a mix of shows where Jonny Test is a more like the old Beetlejuice cartoon. Heavy of sight gags then on humor everyone can get.

Ahh memories. Btw who here has seen Goodfellas?

He-Man ... damn, I remember he was really big when I was, like, seven or so. I can't remember anything from the show, I just remember we had action figures and probably ruined our parents.

Then Turtles became big for a while, about the same time I think, maybe a little later. That probably ruined our parents too.

Batman, Superman and all those supers are classics too, of course.

And I remember Teen Titans from CN too. I watched that for a while a few years ago.

[Aotrs Commander]

Well, I'm about to turn 30 ... and I watched the Powerpuff Girls well into my early twenties. I've always loved cartoons, and never really managed to see myself as an adult either.

I thought as I was writing that post I half-remembered you being in the older crowd (you're only three years behind me).

Cow and Chicken was one of those I didn't really care much for. I mean, I watched it occasionally, but it just didn't really ... I don't know, it seemed a bit lame a lot of the time. Ed Edd and Eddy was fun, though.

Never liked either of those personally, though the latter was at least tolerable in the background.

How many of you guys are 21 (as in turned 21 this year) or younger? I just got the impression that a lot of you are actually older than myself.

I think the majority of us were twenties or older (or, as in my case, just Old...) when it last came up in conversation. Of course, the last time it cropped up was a while back, and we've had more people come in since then, and lost a few, so that may no longer be accurate.

EsperDerek! Yeah, he was the other one I remember being about my age. (And Topaz, too.)

So how do you react to this comic (2 years before MLP:FIM) now after seeing royal canterlot wedding part 2?
P.S- Does anybody plan to make a timeline of MLPverse history.
P.P.S- I am feeling that MLP is becoming like OOTS fandom; both of them have artwork (ponified for MLP and stick figures for OOTS), fanfics (Fallout Equestria for MLP and Murphy's Law comic for OOTS), and fans.

Why name a unicorn Skyflier? Also 3/3.5 only had one unicorn I thought.

What do you mean? I've a loose timeline for Equestria already, but there's not much since we only have limited events so far.

The Herd is already larger then the OOTS, we're more like Touhou or even Trek. What with the spawning multiple cons and such.

Why name a unicorn Skyflier? Also 3/3.5 only had one unicorn I thought.

Well, considering her mark appears to be a set of kites...

As for the also, I think it depends on where you draw your lines. The only set that I'm sure had no more than one unicorn was the "Core Seven", which appear to have formed the entirety of G3.5. 3.0, on the other hand, had unicorns throughout its toy line, and occasionally on the show. Rarity, for instance, showed up there first (as, I believe, no relation to Sweetie Belle, and with a drastically different personality than the G4 version).

So I had a thought. Hearth's Warming Eve is debated on whether or not the tale is true. But I had a different thought. Notice how absolutely perfect the Mane 6 represent the characters. It's also a possibility that the Elements of Harmony were created around the same time, possibly as a result of the story. What if the Mane 6 are descendants of these six characters, and are destined in a way to wield the Elements, even before they met?

And what is this thread's flavor? Cherry? Grape? Steak?

Hmm. Cotton candy marshmallow.

Moving on, uh.
The thing about Dexter's Lab, even compared to a number of it's contemporaries, is that it was easy to follow and still hilarious even with the sound off.

Yeah, Dexter's lab had excellent visual gags and the characters were very distinct.

Yeah, that's about how I felt on Cow and Chicken and Ed, Edd, and Eddy as well. I never liked either that well, Ed, Edd, and Eddy was tolerable.

I think the thread is majority twenties still, although I recall Topaz being older than you, Bleakbane by a not inconsiderable margin.

We have no evidence of that. The Mane 6 put on a very good and entertaining show but we have no idea how accurate it was. For example I'm pretty sure Pinkie Pie was adlibbing a lot of her lines. Similarly it could follow that Commander Hurricane was more angry and hateful while Princess Platinum was actually willing to get her hooves dirty.

Though with a name like Private Pansy I'm pretty sure Fluttershy nailed the part.

Interesting theory, though I'd say the Mane 6 need not be decendants. Instead all ponies are capable of becoming one of the six elements and it's just a matter of need by the elemental powers when to bring together a group of friends capable of weilding the power.

Kinda like... Power Rangers?

Actually, Hearth's Warming Eve reminded me very much of a Christmas Panto being played by a good local drama group, where they will take on a traditional story and add local references and jokes. Thus, they tailor the parts for the actors.

Also, most of the Panto-type stories are either pure fantasy (Jack and the Beanstalk) or so far removed from history as to be pure fiction ((ahem) Richard(ahem) Whittington). If this is the case there is no reason why the characters and story should be anything other than "morality tale with stock Equestrian characters" in it.

..... something just dawned on me.

I would love to see some Final Fantasy references somewhere. Somewhat related, but most of season 2 was done without bronies in mind, because season 1 was still airing when they were working on it, as noted in the recent interview with Amy Keating Rodgers.

Also, on the topic of age, I'm almost at the mental breakdown age of 30. Apparently it's a big milestone. If I survive.
