  1. You don't need contradiction of plot directly for it to be a plothole. Just contradiction in general, including logic. "[colour=#000000]A [/colour]plot hole[colour=#000000], or [/colour]plothole[colour=#000000], a play on the word "[/colour]pothole[colour=#000000]," is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of [/colour]logic[colour=#000000] established by the story's [/colour]plot[colour=#000000], or constitutes a blatant omission of relevant information regarding the plot sometimes even contradicting itself"[/colour] [colour=#000000]I described several lapses in logic from what we know of the plot or relevant information. So yeah, they are still plotholes. Like the relevance of having that identical crown that was just forgotten about? Yeah that is an omission and thus a plothole.[/colour] [colour=#000000]Knowing how to use a computer's keyboard and then not knowing for the sake of a picture? That is a plothole. The entire library scene was basically one big plothole because they established that Twilight had already acclimated to doing things with her hands. Then they turned around and nixed all of that for the sake of blackmail. [/colour] [colour=#000000]Perhaps the other one wasn't a plothole, but it is still a serious lapse in logic.[/colour] [colour=#000000]Heck, according to TV Tropes EVERYTHING I described with the logic of the film is a plothole. So both Wikipedia AND TV Tropes agree that this is a plothole ridden movie.[/colour]
  2. Name: Short Fuse - Mistress of the Fire Flower Gender: Female Age: Mare Species: Unicorn Eye colour: Silver, with one eye being a eyepatch due to a childhood accident. Under the patch is a small hidden explosive. Character colour: Blackish silver, similar to light gunpowder. She has scars all over the front of her body and face. Ponies would pity her, but she saw it as having a bit more personality! Mane/Tail/Other: Red and orange, almost looking like fire. Her mane is medium length and kinda messy, but rather presentable most of the time. Her tail is usually the same. Her mane is sometimes singed due to explosions or tests with new compounds. Physique: Thin, almost frail looking, but she isn’t entirely weak. She can run pretty fast and is decently athletic of a mare her build. She can at the very least run fast and far. Residence: Aboard the pirate vessel FreeWing traveling the seas and skies of Equestria Occupation: Demolitions expert for FreeWings Cutie Mark: A tiger lily outlined in flames. Unique Traits: Knowledge of volatile elements and explosives. Able to incite chemical reactions using magic, and activate incendiary devices remotely using magic. Also able to create small contained explosions using magic that look like flower petals (though they aren't as exciting or fun as the devices or explosives created). She also keeps an explosive under her eye patch. History: Short Fuse was born to a relatively common family in Hoofington. Her father was a chemist/alchemist who would often create medicines for hospitals or for ponies or creatures just looking for general remedies. Her mother worked backstage of the local theater doing special effects and stage work if they needed help. Short Fuse spent most of the time home with her mother, as her father always seemed to be working. He’d be home on the weekends and at night, but because her mother’s job allowed her more time at home they spent a lot of time together. Her mother loved theatrics and jokes and that rubbed off on Short Fuse who was already a handful at that point, which is how she got her name. She’d be seemingly fine one minute then burst into a fit of energy like a bomb. School life for her was pretty standard, made friends, everyone seemed to love her eccentric personality and jokes. She was basically the class clown. She didn’t play pranks, usually, but she’d be sarcastic, make up stories, and generally get people to laugh and be the center of attention. She always had a few friends around. She must have inherited her father’s brains because she excelled in most sciences and math most of all, and was pretty terrible at any artistic or history based classes. The latter more because they were boring than difficult for her. Like most fillies that age she had no idea why she was still a blank flank. Then the teacher announced that they’d have a day off to go to their parent’s job and would be allowed to choose. Naturally she chose to go with her father, since designy type things didn’t really interest her. Her father brought her into her lab and showed her around, naturally telling her not to touch or play with any of the compounds. This was a simple enough instruction. And she did it, except for getting a glass of water. She figured ‘What harm could water do?’ She put it down and it knocked over into a dish of powdered potassium which made a small explosion. Shocked by this and also excited she jumped back and her father went to see if she was alright. He didn’t really yell at her because how was she to know that dust would do that? But he did tell her to be more careful… But she loved the explosion. She became obsessed with them. She began researching them, chemicals and everything she could. Eventually she started trying to mix things herself to get violent exothermic reactions, which eventually turned into explosive reactions. She learned that some mixtures were volatile and would explode readily and others needed something. She kept mixing and tinkering with things that she read in books and eventually became rather good at mixing, some would say too good. She made a really stable high explosive compound one day that wouldn’t ignite no matter what she did. She tried some of the more unstable ones but they wouldn’t make it go off. She had figured she had failed. She went off in a fit of anger yelling at it and her horn started glowing and from it came a little small explosion that resembled a tiger lily flower. And it went off in a huge explosion, unfortunately because she was yelling at it she wasn’t behind her shield or at a safe distance. Her mother heard the explosion and rushed her to the hospital. She was quickly treated with her mother and father both yelling at her for doing such dangerous mixtures, but she was too shaken from the explosion. She was left with scars on her face and her right eye was damaged beyond repair due to shrapnel. So they had to remove it leaving her with a cavity that she had to cover with an eyepatch. When the shock wore off she was ecstatic. What an explosion! And SHE made it go off with her magic. After she went back to school her friends were worried about her and did the usual triad, telling her that she didn’t look THAT bad, and that the eyepatch even looked kinda cool. One of them however looked past the scars and noticed that Short Fuse had her cutie mark. In all that time she hadn’t noticed, she just kept thinking about that awesome explosion and that she could make smaller ones and set things off with her magic. Since she was so good and loved reading she started making small explosives and traps using her more stable compounds because well… She read about pirates and zombies. She made contingency plans for both. Everyone called her a bit nuts for making a zombie pony plan and a pirate plan. But she was undeterred! She also began practicing her explosion technique more so she could use it (which was rather hard with her impaired depth perception, but she eventually got it). Her parents were none too happy but she didn’t mind. She eventually became one of Hoofington’s leading pyrotechnicians, making fireworks and stage displays for bands, and plays. She was really good at making conventional pretty displays, but she loved making big explosions more. She took to keeping a small explosive device in her eye cavity under her eyepatch, I mean if anything it would be great for an impromptu demonstration or defense against some creature or something (you never know when you’ll see your first zombie pony and she’d be ready darn it!). And then it happened…. An airship appeared flying a Jolly Roger flag! It was her moment of triumph! Everyone thought she was crazy and those stories were fake and would NEVER happen. She quickly took out her emergency explosive and used her magic to throw it at the pirate captain who had disembarked. Little did she know that it was Gangplank of the FreeWing pirates, who was just following up on a rumor that a talented pyrotechnician lived there [short Fuse] and had no nefarious intentions what so ever. In fact while Short Fuse was running setting off all the traps, he was strolling and taking note that this was probably the pony he was looking for. When all the traps were set off he finally approached her offering her a position as the FreeWing pirates, explaining who the FreeWing pirates were and what they were all about (Freedom and fun, with a side of thievery and hijinx). She liked most of those things, and not having people tell you “no that’s too dangerous to make, you’ll blow out your other eye or worse” would be a nice perk. In fact they’d probably encourage that! She was sold! She accepted the position and boarded the ship to live a life of adventure, intrigue and fun. It suited her almost perfectly! And thus her new life as a pirate had begun. Because of her unique talent of creating flower shaped explosions, the crew quickly took to calling her "Mistress of the Fire Flower." Character Summary:Short Fuse lives up to her name, she is a short fuse. She doesn’t get angry but she explodes with energy. This can be directed in any way at almost any time, and it usually manifests in her eccentricities, or in just messing with crewmembers or others. She is quick with her tongue and it is almost as explosive as her works of art. She loves her crew members and being free. Her captain is her moral compass though. She respects his wishes, usually, even if she wants to do something different, after all he was the one to offer her freedom from monotony and entrance into the great big world. Explosives are her life, but that isn’t all there is to her. She loves reading (though admittadly, she loves reading things about new explosives or compounds she can use to make bigger, better or otherwise new explosions). She also loves music, granted though her concept of music is skewed since she thinks that explosions are music if done right. She’ll even intentionally create in her lab small contained explosions of different sizes and set them off in tandem to create what she calls “explosive music.” This doesn’t always please her crew as they sometimes think they are under attack. But they don’t mind because she does get the job done and well. She even developed new and more efficient black powder for the captain’s flintlock pistol, creating a container system even so that it can be reloaded even quicker and easier. Her biggest flaw is her disregard for her own safety. So long as no one is around her she’ll take a few shortcuts and take more risks. She doesn’t do this on the ship, but usually when they are docked and she has room and freedom. She isn’t as reckless as she was when she was a filly, but it is still dangerous nonetheless. She is fiercely loyal to those she considers friends or family, and to her the crew of the FreeWing are her family. She still remembers her parents but they are so far away now. If she ever meets them again she’d probably run the other way. How do you tell your parents you became a pirate for the sake of freedom anyway? If she ever met them as a pirate though she’d make sure that they were kept safe though.
  3. *Shameless plug to blog entry review of movie* Star Swirl's Review of Equestria Girls I tried to be as fair as possible. (BTW, I agreed with IMDB in that 6.5/10 was a fair score)
  4. That works for me. It's up to you if you want to have him use up the last spot or not
  5. Hey there! Looks like your eager to get started Roleplaying! Might I suggest that you start out by checking our Free for All section (no app required). And when you feel ready, write up an application and try for the World of Equestria section. Welcome to Canterlot, and I hope you enjoy yourself here!
  6. Yeah, I'm in agreement with QL here. I wrote this blog to write my thoughts of the movie. I gave a pretty detailed analysis of the faults and strengths of the film. From the technical side to the story side. Movies that score "8" are of much higher quality, and don't fall into the tropes and cliches that this movie fall into so obviously and easily, and are far better animated (Just take a look at any other decent animated feature length film, it is a TREAT to look at, this one felt like it belonged going strait to TV). This isn't a 24 minute episode, it's a 73 minute feature length film. It shouldn't be so cliched. The plot holes were only part of the issue. The story, jokes, and pretty much everything else took a back seat to characterization. And if not for the characters being interesting, endearing and most importantly entertaining, this movie would have been closer to a 2 rather than a 6.5. Epic ending didn't even make sense, and was a low point of the movie. In fact, if Celestia was right, all that would have happened if Sunset Shimmer succeeded is that the two words would have pretty much destroyed each other due to imbalance (that is after all why the other 5 had to stay behind after all, well either that or other things would have happened, clashing worlds is never a good thing in sci-fi). Something I didn't address because it is likely that Sunset Shimmer didn't know or perhaps care about when creating her plan. Villains tend to not think about outcomes rather than "The ends justify the means" so she was willing to take the risk of ultimate destruction. The Friendship is Magic is terribly cliched too, especially in this series (hence why I said "obligatory friendship is magic thing"). It is already cliche, it is even worse here. I totally expected it, but I probably would have enjoyed the movie more if it strayed from the standard teenbop formulaic execution and story with the super cliched ending that everyone saw coming from the second they saw the evil demon concept pictures. If you wish to state your opinion, you can do so in your own blog or even the thread. This movie was at best OK. An above average way to sell more toys.
  7. A crazy party loving pastry mare.... ...... Or was that Pinkie...? Oh heck I can't remember. Either way it was a favourable first impression, thinking she was friendly. Oh right I also thought she was smart too... yes... smart...
  8. I think it all hinges on whether or not they see a return on the investment. I don't think they'll continue an unpopular property.
  9. Greetings! Welcome to Canterlot! So long as you follow the rules and Wheaton's Law (Don't be a [jerk]*) You should be fine on not getting on anyone's bad side. Hope you enjoy it here! OH! And if you have any questions, feel free to ask! *Word changed for sake of following aforementioned rules
  10. Oooooh a Whovian! I'm a Whovian too! What a coincidence! Who's your favorite Doctor???? [New, old or both, up to you] Oh... and Welcome to Canterlot and stuff....
  11. So yeah, I was perusing my Facebook and one of my friends found this lovely article. https://medium.com/war-is-boring/1ce5ba1c074b Air Force Bronies are officially a real thing. Flying is Magic it seems. Though the patch should be closer to something related to the Wonderbolts imho.
  12. Due to your clear intentions with a certain purple alicorn I'm afraid this is now required... I'm quite sorry it had to be this way... no, wait, I'm really not
  13. *Image from MLP Wikia: original link here* Now before I start, I want to say that I actually didn't hate the movie, on the contrary it was rather entertaining. I'm going to be fair as possible in this review, because the movie is actually NOT bad in my opinion. In fact, I'd say the IMDB rating is almost spot on at it's current rating (6.5/10). So let's begin... First let's get through the technical stuff. Animation is top of the list... I'm sorry to say that I was a bit disappointed. It looked like the TV show. Not that the TV show is poorly animated or looks bad, but honestly, this is a feature length film. I'd had hoped they would have put a bit more into it to make it that extra bit special. This however was not the case. What should have looked fantastic, simply looked on par with the TV show animation. Now I know that the beginning and end were intended to be like that, to give the feeling that this was still MLP, but when they changed the setting, I felt that the style should have looked less like Monster High and more like something original that Studio B or someone they hired came up with, with a bit better animation than what they gave us. They should have done better in that regard. On the positive side, it was still like the show. They didn't cut any corners because of the extended length either. The show is always lively, something is always going on in the background, and that was retained. Then again, if they hadn't retained that liveliness I'd have looked on this movie in a much poorer light. The next technical aspect is sound engineering and SFX. Honestly, I was impressed. There were several nuanced sounds, and sound effects that were added to the mixing board along with some more classic sound effects. Everything was mixed well and put in appropriate places for comedic or whatever effect they were aiming for. It was all actually rather good. They even threw in a transformers soundboard effect for Pinkie in the very beginning. The voice acting... What can I say? The main cast is fantastic as always, as are the stand in singers. This goes doubly for Rebecca Stoichet who managed to play the villain as well as do a fantastic stand in for Twilight Sparkle as the singer. Is her voice a perfect double for Tara's singing voice? No, but I don't expect it to be, but it is close enough so that it wasn't distracting at all. However, as little of it as there was, I felt the background characters sounded weird at times. Maybe I'm just not used to the voices, but after the third viewing, those few background characters that got a throw away line, just didn't sound right. Flash Sentry was new, but his voice was great, as was Sunset Shimmer. So I know they have the voice talent to make background characters sound less awkward, but that didn't occur. But again, there were so few throw away lines for those characters that it really isn't that big of a deal, unless you count the random chatter from the corridor scenes. And last but not least music... Steffan Andrews and Daniel Ingram continue to delight. The background music by Andrews always felt right and never out of place. And Ingram managed to write another earworm that will get stuck in your head for hours if not days after watching this movie. Is the music fantastic? Debatable, but comparing to the show, it is at the very least on par. Really this entire movie felt like an episode of MLP. Again, not bad at all, and I was more expecting that than the animation being simply par. [colour=#ff0000]************SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT***************[/colour] Now onto the rest of the movie.... Plot wise, this movie was weak, and was pretty much like sliders. Many questions were never answered and there were more plot holes than I care to count. (hence what would be my lower score than I'm sure many would give it) I'm not going to go into too much detail, as much as I can, but here it goes... So in the beginning of the movie Twilight goes to the Crystal Empire for a princess summit. Understandably she is nervous and unsure of herself (this is actually the overarching theme of the movie which is actually quite good on how they deal with it, and while I hope this movie doesn't become official show canon, I do hope they'll do a similar story arch in the show). Enter Sunset Shimmer. Now I have two problems with this... While it is logical that she would know about the EoH, how did she know about Twilight's? In fact how did she know what the EoH looked like to "make the switch"? It was implied that she was in that world for more than 3 years at the very least! In fact it was loosely implied that she left Celestia's tutelage pretty early on, which would mean that Twilight hadn't been sent to Ponyville yet, which means that the Elements weren't even recovered or reactivated yet! This is the start of the great feats of suspension of disbelief (actually that is one of the lesser ones, as there are others that had me scratching my head worse)... OK so assuming that she somehow knew and left after Twilight and her friends took upon themselves the EoH representations [Which sort of does make sense as it would give her reason to drive them apart in her world], it is an OK start of a plot to enter into a different world. And they give her a time limit with a consequence. A bit cliche, but an effective tactic to create a decent climax later on in the film. Before we enter the other world we are told that it would upset the balance if all went (which makes sense... dopplegangers and all). However that too begs a question... What happened to Sunset Shimmer's human double? Is she in the city too and just would never appear at CHS? But that I'll take as it is likely a similar reason to Twilight... OK so Twilight enters and Spike follows. Good thing! She has no idea what she is! And she has no idea how to function as a bipedal organism! This of course leads to high jinks regarding not knowing how to function and a few funny moments. Not knowing what a HS is, what the display cases are, assuming that it had to do with Sunset Shimmer, all things that are likely conclusions when you don't know what is going on. Then she realizes she's wrong and bumps into Flash Sentry. Queue obligatory love interest story. Because after all, what HS movie would be without a love interest? Yeah it is forced, but this was aimed at teenage girls, and younger, so really... it is not only expected but almost a requirement for this sort of movie. And over all I've seen worse.... Queue first song! Not only first song but several first time notable character appearances! I'm pretty sure some of the other background characters were based on background ponies as well. The first song is pretty good. Nitpick? They used "nose" instead of muzzle. But that is a really small nitpick for an otherwise good song. A few funny moments too, and things that I'd believe from HS... like not helping the clumsy girl up. You also see how modern it is with cell phones and the like. Enter Fluttershy. Repeat of first episode? Pretty much, but it got a smile out of me. You really see that this is the current Twilight and how much she has evolved as a character. I'm not sure she would have acted this way in the first few episodes, especially since she was pretty awkward in the first few, and standing up to and being more forceful with Fluttershy's shyness were really welcome. Yet it pretty much ends the same way, only with Twilight actually being able to talk to Fluttershy... Principle Celestia, knowing about the crown and Twi's obvious awkwardness in these situations are both obvious and entertaining. The next part is what really annoys me... Why did she just not bring the crown that Sunset Shimmer gave her, tell her that that is the crown that was originally the school's, and show Celestia that the crown they had in their possession looked of actual gold and gem (and thus way over the school's budget). I mean, really? You don't bring the other crown to show that there are two almost identical looking crowns? Though I suppose that would have ended the movie too quickly and easily, so I'll give it a pass, and Twilight's logic in that instance is sound (Though I wonder if Principle Celestia knew about the portal like Princess Celestia did). More "I have to idea how to act like a human". But at this point they make sense and are somewhat funny! Then enter Pinkie Pie and her odd sense of knowing exactly what's going on. But... it's Pinkie Pie. I'll get into the attitude towards Fluttershy later when it is more relevant. Sunset Shimmer finally gets a decent screen time. And really throughout the entire movie I really start to appreciate her as a villain. She plans ahead and is really a good villain. She isn't exactly Discord, Sombra or Nightmare Moon, but she doesn't need to be. She just needs to be an above average school bully. And she is way above average. The Trixie scene made me laugh out loud. Seriously probably the singularly funny moment up until this point. From Twilight's position, to Trixie not really caring, and announcing herself as she always does. The next scene is probably my most hated... This is where I feel they over did the "I'm a pony and don't know how to use hands" bit. By this point she has shown that she knows her hands are the primary means of interacting with things. The computer thing particularly annoyed me, not because she didn't know how to use it and interacted with it strangely at first, but because we saw her use her fingers to interact with the keys, then a second later she uses her fists? Really movie? Be a bit consistent! There is no reason for her to know how to use a keyboard and then not know a few seconds later! CMC at this point reminiscent of show stoppers. Honestly I'd have loved to know what they would have replaced "pony" with. Really everything in this scene except the copy machine bit was a bit grating to me. She was grabbing dozens of books with her hands, then she suddenly decides to use her mouth? I mean... I know habit, but still... it seemed forced and out of place. The next scene however where we are introduced to Rarity and the following scenes, really is where I feel the movie started to redeem itself (save one major plothole). The movie was fairly entertaining up until this point, but really I feel after the plot hole issue is taken care of and they get together with the YouTube video showing Twi being a derp and/or spaz, it really starts to improve. Now let's talk about this last huge plot hole shall we? So each had an issue with another of the mane 6 counterparts. OK, fine, things happen. But really...? None of them, being friends and all, decided to APPROACH and ASK why they did what they did? If someone showed up to a silent auction with fireworks my first reaction would be to stop, and basically yell at them what they were thinking (or in Fluttershy's case probably just run off crying which should have lead to Pinkie Pie running after asking what was wrong)! Same with not showing up, and same with asking why they told me they didn't need my help (if I was really their friend). I mean, friendship 101 people! Did they just not talk? How do you go that long with those misunderstandings without finding out the truth. The softball thing especially, because surely they were annoyed and talking about it. Gossip travels fast, especially in HS. The whole reasoning why they aren't friends at this point is suspect. I know why they needed to do it, but honestly it felt halfbaked. And I love Meghan McCarthy. She has written some of my favorite episodes. But really I think she could have done better here. But this is really [almost] my last major issue (I have one small one and one large one a bit later). Finally Rainbow Dash. Hey it only took... half the movie? For your appearance! It isn't like you're an important character, right? (To be honest, I'd have laughed hysterically if AJ was the last one to be introduced given how she gets slated pretty much at every turn with merch) This was actually a pretty good scene overall, and a good entry for the character, and something that I could totally see Rainbow Dash doing. More lovey stuff, but I'm not annoyed by it! It is actually pretty underplayed compared to others. The focus of the movie is no where near that. And it isn't as forced as others, though still kinda forced. Now, I'm not the biggest Rarity fan, but... I can't help but feel she is the best character of this entire movie. She really feels the most natural of them all, and I really like her scenes the most. She isn't forced or seem too out of character like the rest. Even in that plot hole, her anger seems more genuine and more believable because of her character's inherent flaws. Where as the others, well not so much... (FS and Rarity are the only two who I believe wouldn't make the first move. Rarity because she'd feel slated and FS because she's just too shy). And the song... OH THIS SONG! This is the biggest earworm of the movie! [Consequently also the best song of the movie] I was cursing Daniel Ingram's name after this song... Seriously, it isn't a great song, but is is incredibly catchy and easy to listen to. The ultimate highlight of the movie, and probably the thing that people will remember most about this movie. Then Sunset Shimmer's plan. I suppose they don't have Photoshop... or perhaps they lack a scanner and had to copy the imposed images over the other? I don't know, but it is at least believable. Again I really have few complaints from this point on. Tell the truth, good going Spike. This is one of the more "touching" scenes, and again Rarity is the most entertaining one, she really has the best reactions. Then after that we get the second last major song. And I actually think this is the second best one, and has a pretty good message. Though it might be from my times volunteering to help clean up after Super Storm Sandy (really that is what this entire scene felt like, and really that is the feeling you get in that situation, everyone becomes equal and it really is an enormously powerful scene). Last major song, kinda feels like a variation of Gala song. Also Twilight became a character from Twilight for a second there... (sorry obligatory joke is obligatory)... Twilight of course wins the crown... And finally the wind down... Spike gets dognapped, and Sunset Shimmer threatens to destroy the portal. I have two issues with this scene. One is a nitpick... Hammer to portal... Wouldn't the hammer just... you know... go through? Twilight's reaction to not knowing what would happen is a good one though. She again really shows her growth. This movie really feels like it could be part of the MLP:FiM universe. The other issue I have is far bigger (but of course it would destroy the climax). During the scuffle over the crown... why didn't Twilight just... you know... throw the crown through the portal? That's how it got to the universe in the first place, so it could have returned the same way, foiling the plans of Sunset Shimmer pretty quickly. But instead of throwing it towards the portal Twilight throws it backwards into her hands.... Needed for the climax but totally nonsensical. The we have the horrible things and the villain showing true colours (and a design strikingly similar to the Panty and Stocking demons Scanty and Kneesocks only cleaner for kiddies and with a tail for reasons?) Then the obligatory magic of friendship thing and conclusion of the main story. Affirmation of Twilight's ability to lead, and return to Equestria, and sort of alluding to her crush on Flash Sentry... Conclusion: This was a standard HS movie with some really catchy tunes and more or less formulaic execution. None of that is bad though. This had a pretty decent entertainment value. It was certainly not as bad as I had feared based on the terrible character design choices (which did get better admittedly). Plot was loose, and could have been better, but really the target audience wouldn't care about that, and neither would many Bronies. The characters were fantastic throughout and really felt like individuals while still being based on the pony counterparts. Were there issues in execution for plot reasons? Yes, but again, kids movie, and really the plot holes... well I've seen worse. This movie was OK! Not good or great by any stretch of the words, nor was it bad or terrible. It was watchable, and really re-watchable for the purposes of this review. As a kids movie, I'd say it was probably well above average, but as a movie standing on it's own, I'd have to say it could have been much better. However considering that Meghan McCarthy and Jayson Thiesson were probably handed this by Hasbro Execs and told "make it work so we can sell Monster High-esque toys" they did a fantastic job. Would I own this? Probably not, but I really wouldn't mind owning the OST just for the music. Again, I think 6.5 is a really fair score for this movie. It is about average, maybe just above because of the characters. The jokes are overly used and constantly recycled and I really think Meghan could have put a bit more effort into thinking up some varying material, but in the end, it mostly worked.Worth watching? Yes, definitely. Worth owning? Not so much. In the end I'm happy I gave this a fair shake.
  14. A bit short in areas, but.... there is enough for me to give you a stamp! Welcome to the game! Please be patient while an admin assigns you to the proper group! Thanks!
  15. Great work for your first character! Please be patient while an admin places you in the proper group and welcome to the game!
  16. Normally I'd say "yes," however the thing working against Pyro is his age. This is an adult oriented party. Open bar, and in a different kingdom (I personally don't think any parent would allow their child to go to what is almost in essence a different country for a party with a bunch of strangers with an open bar). So unfortunately I believe this would be outside of the scope of your character. If you make an adult character I'd have no issues allowing them to join in though!
  17. It's a palace, I'm working under the impression that half the empire can fit in the venue lol
  18. Hey there! If this is ready for approval, please mark it as [Ready] in the Title using the full editor. Thanks!
  19. Changes look good, so have a stamp: Please be patient while an admin moves you to the proper group. And have fun!
  20. Hey there Pyro! I'm StarSwirl, a SRPHS. I was going to stamp this because overall it is a solid app. However one thing bothers me... It is your description of magic. We try to follow what we see in the series. So that means, aside from having no idea what a "magic signature" is (so that term should probably be changed or removed), spells just don't change mid-casting. When Twilight's (the only one who clearly trains in multiple spells at a time) concentration is broken, the spell is likewise broken. There are a few ways to adjust the history and CM story to make it work. Perhaps when he saw the flame he became distracted and cast a second spell. Or perhaps he suddenly had a natural magical surge like Rarity which was his special talent spell, which was fire magic. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here!
