Hello new best friend! Did you know you're my new best friend? Of course not. Because it just happened. Right now. Anyway. I firmly believe that Mr. Freeze can happen in the Nolanverse. Sure, a grain of salt needs to be taken with his cold-gun, but the armor? That's beyond easy if you treat things differently. It is a fact, from an engineering standpoint that it's harder to cool things than it is to heat things, without specialized equipment or hacking some scientific principles. What if the suit needed to keep Victor alive was, visually, more like a walking and punching iron lung? Full of plates and tubes and a terrifying glass dome where all you see are two glowing red eyes behind the fog and condensation. Imagine something more like... a smaller version of the Iron Monger armor from Iron Man 1. For the story behind the cold, we better have our hearts break into thousands of little pieces. We better meet Victor. And Nora. And have them be friends of Wayne or something. Nora will have declining health through half the movie. She will suffer. We will mourn. Make us HATE Frank Boyle. Make the gunshots that shatter the coolant pierce our hearts too. Oh, and Victor will be played by Patrick Stewart.

Holy crap, Discord is the Riddler.

A word from the wife before we continue with our regularly scheduled program: Episode 5 We're right out of the gate here with "How does a horse wear scuba gear?" My answer is "It's Pinkie Pie". "Why did the position of the cloud matter? All of that to make thunder!" "How does pony hold pallet?" I admit this to you all. I troll my cats a little. I play rough with belly rubs and putting socks on them and such, but I still give them love and treats at the end of the day. I will not do this with my eldest cat, who is really sensitive to BS and sometimes runs from me regardless. He has amnesty, if you will. Wife compared this to the Pinkie Pie comment on Fluttershy. Okay, I admit, this is an astounding attention to detail. But notice RD's little mark on her left eye. Next scene, in the reflection in the lake, it's on the right side of the screen, meaning the right eye. She notices these little borks with movies too. Please note that I have trouble using the words right and left, so this comment was a ***** to type. Wife would like to point out her first time seeing genuine mean-spirited bullying. Wife would also like to point how how okay background ponies were with a Griffin. She is, by the way, aware of Zecora, whom everyone flips their racist little lids over. "Why is the daddy duck with the babies?". That's not even an animation error. That's someone failing biology class. I just saw a facepalm. Where I had to pat her on the shoulders and assure that yes, Pinkie Pie's answer to everything is a party. Two things: The first is that it's good writing to convince wife that Pinkie Pie set it all up to be a vindictive *****. Secondly, Now Pinkie Pie's answer to everything makes more sense. It kinda grosses her out.

If that's what you really want... *squeak*

I could write, cast and direct a better Mr. Freeze movie in my sleep.

She's never seen Apocalypse Now. Anyway, here's the highlight of a discussion we had before sleepytime: Celestia is a *****. Not just a *****, but a mad tyrant on a quest for sole dominance over the realm, using her baby sister as a scapegoat. How did she come to this conclusion? Twilight was able to break the curse of Nightmare Moon using the EoH. So why couldn't Celestia have done the same, if this was truly just the darkness in her heart? Instead, just send her to the moon for a thousand years.

Manure? I'm going to be throwing bricks.

Much obliged for making this thread, flutterscotch! As for the poll, it was a struggle to not courteously abstain. My nerdrage with DC has been bubbling over lately. I suppose I'm too in love with... the ideals founded in the silver age and the characterization of today's books, which is why I voted the way I did. The best of both worlds, I think. Slightly off topic, but my absolute favorite Joker is... ahem... Mark Hamill.

Episode 4, Applebuck Season Off to a good start so far. I got the following. "How did Big Mac get hurt?" I explained that some fanart explained he's indebted to the mob. "Why isn't AJ's HUGE family helping?" This will be explained as the episode rolls onward. "Why does a horse own a dog?" "How do they know what cowboys are and are they accustomed to being ridden?" "Wow, horses get bags under their eyes." There were several slaps to the forehead over Pinkie Pie's standard behavior. "Why was Twilight offended that the Mayor, of all ponies, needed to say something." Wow, she's getting offended over Twilight teleporting those ten feet, rather than walking. Now this is a nice train of thought, here. "Aren't AJ and RD rivals?" Yes, but it's still friendly. No sniper rifles yet. "Since she noticed how tired she was, why couldn't she say 'AJ, take a nap. I'll find someone else to launch me into the air' or is she implying that AJ is fat?". "How did AJ get to the top of the platform? No ladder! How do ponies climb?" AJ getting hurt is getting laughs! Yay! RD becoming a guided projectile did too! "How did RD actually crash into the balcony? She has wings." Why was Twilight called for help during a mass food poisoning outbreak? "She's going to have extensive brain damage by the time this is done." More or less, sleep deprived or not, AJ should be the last pony called to wrangle prey animals. Why didn't Twilight just go to Big Mac? "Hey, your little sister is trying to kill herself." And wow. Wife just flipped out upon seeing Twilight just... magic three trees clean. Why the !@#$% couldn't she just knock AJ out with a brick and finish things herself? Just... wow. She's mad at this point. This episode got the most reactions. We keep on chugging.

Pinkie Pie Type: Normal Ability: Prankster -Uproar -Sing -Metronome (Pinkie Pie, you are so random!) -Teeter Dance There's the format, and a perfect example. Go to town, bronies and pegasisters.

Episode 3. She would like to point out first that if she was younger, she would probably question nothing. We got a good one right off the bat, with the theme song of all things. As we all know, it starts with "I used to wonder what friendship could be". She argues against that. "She did her best to avoid friendship!". She's got us there, guys. I would also like to point out, once the credits are done, she instantly figured out where things were going. "Is this going to be about her friends fighting over the tickets?" "Yep." "Is this going to end with her giving them both to two other ponies?" "Nope." Clever girl. Next question is how Rainbow Dash can nap on a tree branch. Next comment is during the hoof wrassle. Hooves do not physically wrap as we would with hands, which is what we get animated. Next question: Rarity designs clothing for a living, right? Why aren't they clothed all the time, then? During the zip-cloud scene we all know about, she asked what Spike eats. I said minerals, specifically gemstones. Being clever, she asked if he raids Rarity's stores. My only good answer was skipping ahead to a scene in Dog and Pony Show, which illustrates their agreement perfectly. She also didn't like the title much. "It means something different for adults". Rainbow Dash got the finger! She finds it in real bad taste that RD is thrilled while everyone else declines. Not even pretending. Now that we're three episodes in, she would like to say that she is enjoying the show and that it's "not a waste of her time".

Episode 2. Primary comments involved how formulaic it was. But hey, kids show. There was a bit of a sneer towards the end, as it suddenly became Magical-Girl-Captain-Planet. She also called bull**** on the drastic age difference between Celestia and Luna, who she thinks is pretty. More BS on the fact that their necklaces vanish. About half way through, I was asked if what we were watching at this moment is why I fell in love. I mentioned no, it's the slice-of-life series from episode 3 onward. More importantly, she enjoyed how everyone knew instantly that Pinkie Pie bursting into song is not normal behavior. She had some words on Rainbow Dash, though, as I asked her in the car ride home about the fandom's assumption that she bats for the other team. Wifey says no. The impression she gets from RD is a tough little cookie who's as good as any boy, so she acts out. She's career driven. She also asked if Celestia is a princess, where's the king and queen?

Greymane. Is that what I am? Neat. Also, welcome!

I think this is like the Goku vs Superman debate. We're not supposed to know. Even though the answer is Pinkie Pie.

You know what? I'm gonna say Pokey Peirce. What kind of life does this pony lead where his special talent is popping balloons? Or is it piercing anything! ...Dear God. Mothers, hide your virgin daughters.

Y'know, considering the avatar, that post is actually very depressing.

I was trying to get Episode 2 done tonight but she apparently needed a pallet cleanser of Dexter, season 5.

Welcome aboard! Mind the mess. We're still renovating.

Do Magic the Gathering decks count as playing cards?

My specific neighborhood was untouched, more or less. We're on a very high elevation, thank goodness. Not even a power outage. Further down, towards the highways my wife takes to work, THOSE. Hoo-boy, those were flooded! So the day after, we were more or less blocked in. Buses were dead, too. I hear plenty of my coworkers were much worse off than I.

Dungeons and Dragons. No, really. As far as internet is concerned, vampires got me into it. Back when Buffy and Angel and Anne Rice were big. Found some yahoo chatrooms and it went from there.

Eih, I try to forget my younger days. I'm fairly sure I was quiet to the point of creepy and at the same time, in-your-face-trolling. I dunno. If nobody talked to me, I didn't. I didn't go out of my way to make friends. At the same time, if I was being picked on for being the smarter kid, I would kick their shins and then hide behind teachers. That continued until high school. Good news was the Drama club and Sci-fi club showed me there were other weirdos out there. Friends were easier then. I was much better with my elders though, the awkward little kiss-ass that I am. I made my money as an alter server. Also, I liked drawing. I did other people's art homework for a dollar or two. I also had a wonderful art tutor, who showed me both traditional painting and classic rock. I'm still in contact with him all these years from now. I never knew how a man with Polio would walk a hundred pound Doberman.

She's been really accepting of my "hobby" as of late. The worst I tend to get is a gentle sigh, roll of the eyes and a reminder of my Y chromosome. The saying goes however, that those who don't like the show haven't seen it yet. Sure, I showed her 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' once, but I could tell she wasn't into it. So I'm starting from the beginning. During episode 1, I got the following reactions, supplementing a decent bit of laughter here and there: "Maybe Celestia was just being a *****. Does any pony think of that? All Luna wanted was some appreciation," "Really?", in response to Apple Jack's large family. "Big Mac must be busy", also in response to Apple Jack's large family. She noticed very few males. "What was Granny Smith's name when she was younger?" "I like the rasp in her voice", in response to Rainbow Dash. "Pretty", referencing Rarity. She liked how Spike agrees with her. "Is Spike doomed to only breed with ponies?" As we all know, he wouldn't complain. "Why are all their tongues orange? It's really distracting."
