My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (part the second)

[DededeMan202]

I saw that the last MLP thread was locked, how sad.

So here's a new one to talk about the latest episodes, the newest in Brony-fandom, and other awesome pony-related stuff. I just hope what happened to the last topic doesn't happen here.

Fluttershy's my favorite pony, followed very closely by Pinkie Pie.

[BrandonSP]

I do not think we were supposed to make a new topic just yet guys.

[GigaNerd17]

Yeah, we're supposed to wait for Vanguard's "OK Go".

.......



I'VE BEEN WAITING TO USE THIS ONE!

[Vi]

you do realise that one of the mods whenever they get on, this thread will be down..right?

[Snickerway]

Anyone ever seen that 'MODS ARE ASLEEP, POST PONIES' macro?
...Yeah.
EDIT: Uber-ninja'd. I'm an idiot. But you already knew that.
I'll just leave this here to validate this post's existence

[Rebel Vanguard]

Yes, this was supposed to wait!

Well, when the time comes I'll just unlock this thread. So looks like the thread has already been made at least.

[Rebel Vanguard]

Re-opening this thread, sorry for the delay! Been extremely busy but just remember to keep the discussion cleaner and a little less spammy.

[GigaNerd17]

Huzzah! Let's start this off with a big helping of G-mod!





These G-mod pony models honestly give me the creeps, but oh well. Disproportionate ponies are hard to get right!

[ARC Trooper CX-7529]

Cool, this thread is open again (To a bit of my surprise)! Yeauh...

Hahahaha I got some rightous pretty cool pictures for everybody

[Zatch.]

With regards to the new episode: Amazing. Not my favorite, personally, but it's among them, to say the least. I'll post my review when I'm on a computer.

Incidentally, glad to see this open again, thank you for your kindness, Vanguard.

[Cerd]

Oh look, it's back! Let's try don't be spammy this time.

So about today's episode, did anyone else when saw the first stage of grown-up Spike remind of Draden from the Friendship for Unfortunate RP?

[TheDarkDee]

final form spike was awesome. it also makes me thinks somebody should hack pokemon into a mlp rpg.

[Zatch.]

Spoiler: My thoughts 

I liked the episode overall, but the climax was moderately lackluster. I was definitely ready for what Spike had to announce, but what lead up to it did not really seem to fit, to me, at least.
Spike mocking Rarity on the mountain. Best. Part. I also laughed when Twilight awoke to Spike under a pile of miscellaneous items. Too good. The King Kong allusion was anticipated, though I did not expect the Wonderbolts to make a cameo this episode.

Junebug confirmed for top 5 on my list of favorite uncommon pony. Her mane design is nice, and her voice is even nicer.
Hm. Am I the only person compelled to question why the MLP staff is starting to make so many frequent allusions and fourth wall breakings?

Incidentally, LOVED Pinkie's line, "I'm not GIVING him the cake, I'm ASSAULTING HIM WITH CAKE!"

"Twilight, get my rope." <3 Yes Applejack, yes.

Spike becoming a kleptomaniac was foreseen; the dragons and their massive hoards of valuable jewelery gave clear evidence of what dragons in Equestria grow into. What surprised me is how Spike did not grow wings.

[Raptor]

Well SPike doesn't have any wings to begin with so I guess it was kinda easy to see that he wouldn't have them. I kinda found it funny about how it was like King Kong with Rarity and the Wonderbolts. It's one of my new favorite episodes I'd have to say.

[Zatch.]

It's just that every other dragon prior has had wings, which leaves Spike suspect. I'm willing to safely assume he's of a different breed, but that at the most.

[Falcon_Pawnch75]

I wish they'd give us more Applejack episodes. There's only been one episode devoted solely to Applejack. The other two Applejack episodes are focused more on her rivalry with Rarity and Rainbow Dash respectively. Not counting the joint episodes, by now SPIKE AND APPLE BLOOM have had more episodes than Applejack. Where's the love for Applejack? D=

With Big Mac! Big Mac is my favorite and out of the three siblings he is one with the least attention (but he does his eeeyup and nope that are well-placed). Plus, he is also the only semi-major colt (not pony, that's a young mare) in the series and he has been a rather shallow character to date. All we know is that he is very strong, big and rather quiet and distant, unlike his two sisters and grandma. Wonder why...

[GoogerGeiger]

I loved the pet episode. Falcons and eagles are my favorite animals. They used the cry of a red-tailed hawk for the eagle. In actuality, bald eagles sound like seagulls, except a little more shrill. Most shows and movies, especially ones straight from Hollywood, dub that bird cry over, so it wasn't surprising. And it was so fitting that the falcon was a peregrine falcon, which can reach top diving speeds of 200mph. The MLP production team really knows their stuff.

[Snickerway]

Fluttershy is now God Tier.
That is all.

Also, anyone noticed

Spike was turned back to normal by a memory like the Discorded ponies?

[Chain Chomp]

I liked the new episode despite not really liking Spike all too much... sorry.

I agree Applejack needs more love. also I for one would LOVE to see more episodes featuring Trixie though I'm the sole brony who likes Trixie. So i won't get my hopes up

I voted Trixie in the thread poll. You're not alone!

[Deucey Dee]

I shall comment on not one, not two, but the three most recent episodes, as I haven't yet had a chance for either of them. The episodes I'm referring to are "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well", "Sweet and Elite", and "The Secret of my Excess".

Spoiler: My Thoughts on "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" 

I've gotta say, I liked how, in this episode, they get into more serious action. It was a one-of-a-kind episode, and though other fans have criticized the concept, I found it to be an extra-special equine escapade. After all, it's not about the people who chemically analyze the food, it's about the people who eat the food. Hopefully I said that right... Btw, I couldn't decide if Pinkie Pie or Applejack looked better in the costume unmasked. The thing that really surprised me was the return of Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense^TM, which I had believed wouldn't survive outside the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen".

Spoiler: My Thoughts on "Sweet and Elite" 

I really liked this one. It was nice to finally see Rarity in her element (not referring to the Elements of Harmony). The song was both fitting and catchy, more so than the one in "May the Best Pet Win". The best line in the show had to be, "What croquet mallet?", given that Rarity said it with a croquet mallet in her mouth. Also, I admire Rarity's luck: both her formal and informal friends were very understanding, seeing the best of each awkward situation Rarity got herself into.

Spoiler: My Thoughts on "The Secret of my Excess" 

It just keeps getting better and better. It turned out much better than what I imagined from reading the brief summary of the episode while checking the times. Whereas I thought Spike would simply be demanding and have high expectations, in the episode, he was subject to the activation of a natural instinct, something he didn't really have control over. The King Kong reference was obvious, but nonetheless effective.

Normally, I can be pretty cynical when it comes to romance in media, but that intimate connection between Spike and Rarity was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Watching Spike "confess" and Rarity realize his feelings was a huge twist for me and maybe many other bronies as well, for hopefully obvious reasons; it was like a fan fiction come true... that is, a wholesome fan fiction, not a clopfic or any other fanfic of an non-canonical nature. The interesting thing is how Rarity will act around Spike in future episodes.

also I for one would LOVE to see more episodes featuring Trixie though I'm the sole brony who likes Trixie. So i won't get my hopes up

Actually, you're not. It might be surprising, but I really liked Trixie, too. Her boasting wasn't even mildly annoying; "Haven't you heard of a little something called showmanship?" Whereas Gilda's "teen rebel" attitude set my teeth on edge, Trixie's arrogant demeanor was actually kinda cute, seeing as all she wanted was some attention.

The Great and Powerful Trixie is NOT an antagonist!

[El_bruno]

PHOENIX WRIGHT IS BEST PONY!

...........

.......*cough* Anyway, good to see the thread's back.

Yeah, despite her arrogance, Trixie was quite likeable. I would like it if she made a return.

[Indigo_Dingo]

See, I'd disagree with you there. Gilda was a bully, but was at least a loyal friend to Dash. Trixie was just a coward, an egomaniac and a boaster who wouldn't even apologise for, you know, nearly getting everyone eaten. She had no redeeming qualities.

Anyway, as an example of the fandoms work, take a look at this as an example, and realise that this image alone would be meaningless without all the other fan works you'd seen.

Spoiler: This will make you cry

Actually, it was Snips and Snails that brought the ursa to town. Mentionably they got rewarded for this. Trixie at least tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to fight it off.
