Thoth

Gabe Newell, obviously. I believe it's widely-believed that Lady GaGa watches it. Don't know if she actually is a follower, or she just figures it'll help in popularity or some crap like that... Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic, etc.) has made a FiM reference in one of his videos before. Not sure if he VERY THOROUGHLY researched the show for it, or if he actually watches it...but he certainly spouted out a mouhtful of FiM in one of his videos, xD I also believe the creator of Minecraft (Don't remember his name...) has admitted to watching it. I'm sure I'm missing a TON, xD...

I'll be perfectly honest when I say I didn't like B.B.B.F.F at all...the FIRST use of it. The first time, I felt it was FAR TOO EARLY to be brining out an emotional song. I liked the emotional tone of it, and how it really tried to push their relationship across...but I have two problems with it: 1. It's just...too slow. Not enough force or energy behind it, like what 'This Day Aria' had. Just no emotion to its tone and pace...the first time, at least. 2. The song simply acts as one thing...I'll put it this way: EXPOSITION, EXPOSITION! RUSH IT OUT, A-S, A-P! Despite how much I giggled while typing that, it's true. The song is honestly just a reall elaborate piece of quick exposition so they can make Twilight and Shining Armor's relationship seem existent... HOWEVER The use of "B.B.B.F.F." at the end of Part 1 was VERY well-done. It was perfectly-timed, wonderfully-used, wonderfully-performed for the 10 seconds it had, and...man, it felt EMOTIONAL. I could just FEEL the loss and despair in Twilight's character at that moment! Why couldn't they have used the song ONLY there? It would've made me shed tears!

1. Probably a dead-tie between The3Eds (Ed, Edd, n Eddy forum), Fanfiction.net, Equestria Daily and this site 2. School - Brony, Home - Spud 3. Filly Trotman. Not a self-insertation OC, but an OC I built off of my own fears and aspirations in writing. 4. Twist. I just find her irritating for some reason. 5. Blue 6. "Fortune & Glory" - http://www.fimfiction.net/story/11376/Fortune-%26amp%3B-Glory 7. "To Kill a Mockingbird" (INCREDIBLE book, and also my first-to book to get the Southern accents of AJ, Apple Bloom and Big Mac correct!) 8. White

Exactly the problem here.

Most-developed? I'll go with a dark horse pick (CWATIDIDTHAR?), and say Rainbow Dash. Let's look back. In the beginning, she seemed rather cocky of her abilities, was rather rude to whatever pony seemed to irritate her, and was generally not much for the aspects that we see from Fluttershy or any of the other Mane 6, that being kindness or any intense caring for anyone besides her friends. However, she's seemed to quickly change. Now, she seems quite a lot more concerned about how her friends feel (Hurricane Fluttershy is a massive example), and has been shown to be more caring of more than herself in any situation. Least developed? ...*Opens umbrella* ...Applejack. I mean, she hasn't changed a bit. Sure, that might not be a problem, but one of her Friendship Lessons was that she DID NOT LEARN ANYTHING. Let's be frank, the only lessons she's received was to "always accept a helping ha-hoove" and that her friends will love her no matter what. While those are both VALUABLE lessons, it seems to me that she just hasn't gotten anything big behind her in the two seasons we've seen. We've yet to learn about her parents, yet to learn how deep her and Apple Bloom's relationship goes (Sisterhooves Social in how it went into Rarity and Sweetie Belle's), and we honestly just don't get any big developments to her character and how she acts towards things. I'd say she "accepts help more willingly", but no situation has called for that in any of the proceeding episodes so far! (The closest I can think of is "The Last Roundup", and that's A BIT of a stretch, considering she doesn't even accept her friends knowing what happened at first!) I love AJ. I appreciate her character, and would love to see more episodes with her....but she seems to be the victim of being undeveloped and frankly the least likeable of the Mane 6....to me, at least.

I'm currently awaiting if I'm getting picked-up for another summer of work at the summer camp down my street. If I do get asked to work there, I may likely get some pony time cut down a bit... But whatever happens, I'll likely do all of the following: - Write fanfiction! (My favorite passtime, xD) - Rewatch Season 1 + 2 - Have viewing parties with the guys I converted into Bronies (I got them hooked. We are now SERIOUSLY considering viewing parties...) - Read fanfiction - CRITICIZE fanfiction (You think I'd be nice? ) - Chat on multiple pony forums. - Search for other Brony forums, and go where no Brony has gone before (And hopefully not run into Discord)...*Cough*StarTrekreference*Cough* - CONSTANTLY log hours on Equestria Daily It's the summer time, and I plan to expend hours upon hours on pony!

Hmmm....after reading the round-up on Equestria Daily for the episodes, it appears Cereal Velocity also spotted the similar shots technique used in PPG Movie and Part 2... Just to show you guys so you understand my constant preaching: (9:14) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3xqKvOwoyk&t=12m41s (12:41) Watch them side-by-side at the same time. They're exactly alike, I have no doubts. FiM crew, I salute you to referring to another great animated film...and quite an underrated one, too.

I give the Brony fandom 2 weeks before a PMV comes out, with clips of these episodes with the song "Power of Love" by Huey Lewis & The News 2 weeks, I guarantee,

OH. MY. GOSH. I LOVE this movie! It's my favorite Disney movie of all time! But yes, "This Day Aria" is an INCREDIBLY well-written and well-animated song. I'd agree with everyone when they say it's on-par with Disney songs. However, every song from the episodes were excellent in every shape or form, no?

I actually said at loud right after Celestia was defeated: "S*** just got real!" No lie. What Brony didn't when that occurred? I certainly was shocked at that moment...

The only downside to this awesome two-parter is that we have to wait all summer for new episodes in September...

Apparently, I'm the only Brony who sees the similarities, xD Either that, or no one here has seen the PPG Movie...

Okay....I need someone to clarify this... Am I the ONLY BRONY that saw the fight scenes from Powerpuff Girls: The Movie and Part 2 of the season finale as EXACTLY THE SAME in fashion? Heck, like I KEEP ON PREACHING, the flashing to white cuts at action shots were EXACTLY alike! Somepony, PLEASE tell me I'm not crazy! Getting to the songs....I want a full version of "Love Is in Bloom". I mean, that song was INCREDIBLE. I loved "My Big Brother Best Friend Forever" and "This Day", but MY GOD, "Love is in Bloom" was PERFECT. I have yet to listen to the acclaimed remix...but I NEED a full version! ...seriously, someone tell me I'm not the only one who noticed the similarity with the PPG Movie...

I'm sorry, but I REALLY want someone to make a video comparison between the big fights in the Powerpuff Girls Movie and Part 2's huge fight. The "flashing white on action cuts" technique use in both are EXACT, and I'd LOVE IT if someone made a side-by-side video of it! I just can't get over how cool that is. The crew used a technique from a previous fight montage from a past work of Faust and McCracken, and it worked PERFECTLY!

WOW I mean....WOW WOW WOW That's all I can keep saying! Just an UBELIEVABLE ending to the Season! The setup for the plot was incredibly well-done. The plot made sense throughout, and actually turned into an unbelievable epic of a plot near the end! The characters...heck, do I need to even say it any more? They were PERFECT. Shining Armor was a fairly likeable character despite his short introduction, Cadence was a wonderful character once we finally were introduced to her, and our favorite Mane 6 were loveable as always! The songs...MY GOD. The Twilight song near the beginning, honestly, didn't do it for me. It just felt out of place, and was too slow-paced. However, the re-use at the end of Part 1 was PERFECTLY-TIMED. It couldn't have been placed better! The evil Cadence/good Cadence song....OH MY GOD. It was brilliant! Wonderful animation combined with the lyrics sung by a cocky and arrogant character and a hopeless one provided a wonderful hybrid! The final song....WOW. It really hit home. The songs PERFECTLY complimented the episode! The writing was just brilliant! Every bit of the plot was perfectly constructed. I got goosebumps at every big moment of the episodes. I was CERTAINLY glad they didn't play the two episodes in two weekends, because I couldn't contain myself for a SINGLE MINUTE after the huge cliffhanger of Part 1. The new villains...were fair. I like the Changeling Queen, but she could've really used more than the two scenes she got in her true form. I DID love her design, because it was quite a fun-looking one. In fact, it sort of reminded me of the design of the Super Mojo from the Powerpuff Girls Movie...in fact, that wouldn't be the ONLY similarity I noticed... The big moments were BIG. I mean, the ones I can name off the top of my head wouldn't be enough to sum up the epic-ness of this! What stuck out most in my mind was the scene where Celestia is beaten, and it lays the cards down upon everyone else. I was literally MOUTH AGAPE at that scene. The dramatic tension boiled to big time as soon as that happened, and the animators and writers KNEW they had to make it dramatic! They did, by using the slow-mo in one of the best ways I've seen in FiM! Every moment was big, and it made it seem more like a movie or series finale than a season finale of the second season! I'll tell you, every moment they created was effective. I laughed when they wanted you to laugh, I got goosebumps when they made their moments dramatic, and...man, I CRIED at the end! Every moment was perfectly done. The ending, with the moral being the power of love and everything just coming to a textbook close, should have made every Brony cry. Perfect, my friends. The action was GREAT! I mean, the dramatic moment of Celestia and the Changeling Queen set the stage for the dramatic, but the big fight in Canterlot between the Mane 6 and the Changelings was GREAT! I cheered, I laughed, and I got GOOSEBUMPS! In fact, the end of the entire fight with the "flashing punch" technique (The constant action shot cutaways with the white flashes) was VERY similar to the same technique Faust and Craig McCracken used in the Powerpuff Girls Movie. In fact, the fight scene was a COMPLETE take-off of the PPG Movie fight scene near the end. Not only was it homage to past work, but it was VERY well-made and a great technique to use, and it worked perfectly! I think what I love most about this though, is that THIS was the episode all the Bronies were waiting for. It was an epic storyline, along with incredible visuals, funny moments, and just an episode that EVERYONE could sink their teeth in to. I don't think this was "just two episodes". Of course it wasn't, it was the season finale. However, I think this would be better suited to be called "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: The Movie". I mean, THIS WAS IT. The plot was the biggest we've seen, the twists changed EVERYTHING about the mood of the show. Everything was done, knowing it was big, and made it the biggest stage we've ever seen for a FiM episode. This is, in my opinion, the FiM movie people have wondered about. No doubt about it. My opinion? Well, say it with me now.... BEST. EPISODE. EVER.

Well, the name "Thoth" comes from the Egyptian God of Wisdom and Writing (That was what is most-believed, anyway). I began using the name on a few different forums a few years ago after I learned about the Egpytian Gods, and it soon just caught on. I now use the username "Thoth" for every forum I go on with rare exceptions. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I suppose it's just a username that fits. The members on the forum I started the name on would always ask me if I'd ever change back to it...so I suppose so, xD

I'll admit, this got a big laugh out of me.

I believe it might just be Hasbro being Hasbro, and still attempting towards marketing to kids and making her related to the princess. How?... ...WELL, WHO CARES? IT'S FOR KIDS! AND KIDS DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING NOW! In all seriousness, it's just like the whole situation with Prince Blueblood. Faust intended to make him a Duke, but Hasbro figured kids wouldn't known what a Duke was. I suppose it was just a marketing decision that Hasbro felt would work out without explanation, and made the FiM crew just go with it... I'm not too big on "staying canon" with one-off characters, but I can see where people can get mixed up with Cadence. Heck, I'm STILL in disbelief on how Shining Armor is Twilight's brother, Just go with it, I suppose. It's nothing to lose sleep over,

Sweet Celestia, you guys have got me going crazy for Raindrops! You've got my avatar and sig changed in a matter of 2 days, But hey, I guess that just makes my favorite background pony more self-explanatory than before, xD

You ask me, Doctor Whooves is only cool for people who actually watch Doctor Who. Course, I'm a Whovian as well, so I shouldn't talk.

No problem. Anypony who loves Raindrops is a friend o' mine. Notice the new avatar, xD

Something I just noticed this morning while watching "May The Best Pet Win" was that right after Rainbow Dash gets stuck on the rock, she starts talking to herself. Right before she goes into the realization she could be trapped forever, a very odd sound effect plays at one point while she freaks out about being stuck. Upon doing some editing and checking, it turns out it's a very high-pitched, fast, comedic scream. It's much like the ones they'd use in Ed, Edd, n Eddy (Which makes sense, considering Wootie was a big part of the EEnE crew). It honestly made me laugh, but you REALLY need to listen for it. I've never noticed it until now, and the episode came out in November...

When I was progressively discovering the outer boundries of the Internet, it consistently surprised me with its wonders every day. Youtube, Fanfiction, etc amazed me....then I found DeviantArt... ...then I heard "R34" mentioned... ...I don't go on DeviantArt anymore

You sir, have won my upmost respect.
