  1. I thought about this. Maybe they could circulate characters by introducing new members of the club after older ones get cutie marks. Similar to SNL. Kind of.
  2. So, I'm confused. Which side of her horn is Twilight's highlights? haha, that rhymes... Note: I did not flip these photos, this is how they appear straight from the show.
  3. Before the next episode, which is looking to be the most promising CMC episode yet, I was wondering if we could discuss the possibilities of these foals actually getting their cutie mark. Or, for the argument, is the seeking the cutie mark everything these characters have to offer the show? IMO, I think Sweetie Belle has the most realistic chance at getting her cutie mark before the other two. Her talents seem to stand out more than Apple Bloom's and Scootaloo's personal talents. Also, if Faust and the writers ever actually issue cutie marks to these characters, wouldn't their futures be separated from each other and their importance to the show. Apple Bloom with a cutie mark, makes her 'just another branch in the Apple family tree.' And scootaloo, while ambitious and adventurous like Rainbow Dash, would have to retire her scooter, which makes her unique, to an extent when she becomes a more mature pegasus clearing the sky's clouds. What are your thoughts?

    Well this cartoon isn't like too many others I have enjoyed in my lifetime. Hopefully, a full-featured game will have the same effect.
  5. Granola's eyes grew large and wet with glee. She was overwhelmed by his like knowledge of plant life. Most deep conversations she has about specific species of plants she has with herself or Precious. "YES! Daucus carota! I shouldn't be surprised that you don't have any available here on your cart. I am trying to do a study on the affect wild carrot plants have on other plants. Ancient pony legend and ancestory has hinted that it boosts tomato crops. But I have only obtained one specimen in my thorough search for the root. At what maturity are the ones you say you have at? You must know they take like two years to fully mature before they produce the seeds I am after."
  6. Granola dropped her smile into a slightly disappointed expression when Carrot explained his knowledge. "Oh." Granola was beginning to lose hope in her quest to find a larger quantity of wild carrot seeds. "Ya see, wild carrots produce this flower that holds all the seedlings for future generations of flowers and, uh--." Granola realized she may be preaching to a choir. "Ha ha! Look at me talk about carrots to you; I'm sure you know all about it!" Granola rolled her eyes and shook her head slightly. Meanwhile, the marketplace was getting more and more busier with more ponies from all of the surrounding areas for all kinds of business. At Granola's cart, about a hundred hooves away from Carrot's, Precious began hissing at anypony that walked by her cart and would even growl at innocent ponies looking at her cart from a large distance.

    f86ok3ug1S8 I think we're on our way to successful MLP gaming.
  8. I think Equestria is either an absolute monarchy or a theocracy.
  9. I completed one year of Latin in high school. I dont think my knowledge is adequate enough but I dont know what passage you need help with and it wouldn't hurt to try, right?
  10. I think what we're looking at is really YouTube (and other internet broadcasting) VS. Cable/Satellite providers, and not HUB vs. YouTube. IMO, TV subscriptions are costing way too much, and none of them allow for a la carte channel picking which they say is 'impossible.' At this rate, I am almost willing to pay a reasonable price to watch exclusive videos online, whether it be YouTube or a channel's main broadcasting site to watch their programming. In this way, I feel that YouTube is cutting the middle man out.
  11. I agree with everything. However, 4chan has the 'amazing' ability to let it get out of hand, and I wonder how much HASBRO is sweating to keep their image, even on the internet, a positive one. It can get kind of scary when kids or parents of kids are searching for online pony content only to find obscene arts and memes that give the franchise a bad name. Is it possible to blame Faust for 'too good' of a show?
  12. The genius of HASBRO's cartoons is that it is self promoting to show them. Instead of having a cartoon that has a my little pony toy commercial once every 10 to 15 minutes, they have a growing collection of 22 minutes episodes that promotes the toy line in itself. Because of this, HASBRO wouldn't be losing much by it being viral on YouTube, despite the tales being told about adult collectors not being a significant source of HASBRO's income. Any extra chances a kid who wants the toy has to watch this show, the more likely a toy is purchased.
  13. here are the CMCs: Except this shot was taken in Episode 1, before Apple Bloom met Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
  14. maybe a flower-oriented name like Rosie or Lillian, playing off the irony that she is allergic to probably all of them.
  15. Black Snootie, Black Snootie... LOL
  16. For a name, the word "whimsy" or "whimsical" come to mind.
  17. Ahh, the good ol' nature vs. nurture debate. I think it can be a little of both. However, I would side more with the fact that she doesn't have a clear talent and that most of the things we've seen so far are the things anypony could learn. Twilight is a leader, and leaders don't have a specific talent in any particular thing, they usually tend to have a large array of general knowledge. Not everypony can be a leader. In thinking about ponys' destinies and their cutie marks and motivation, I would say that some ponies have natural abilities and talents that make them special (nature), while other ponies have to work hard to find out what is so special about them (nurture). This is another terrific example of this show's moral character and an attempt to help the viewers understand these ways-of-life for themelves. And this theme is riddled throughoout the CMC episodes.
  18. In Friendship is Magic, all the ponies instantly dry themselves as soon as Rarity gives attention to the emotional serpent.
  19. It's pretty clear that the worst part of this episode is Twilight's mispronunciation of 'everypony.' However, I contest that it's not necessarily the writers messing up, especially how easy it was to catch this time. I suspect that 'body' is thrown in there every once and a while on purpose, as to not overdo the use of everypony, anypony, and no pony. It keeps the dialogue on a chain and allows the universe the characters are in to be not so 'out of this world.'
