  1. I thought Rarity acted like Pinkie Pie in G3?

    I consider G3 Rarity a prick because she's the kind of idiot that takes everyone down with her to the point of almost crashing what is basically their religion because the instructions of do not touch are to much for her to comprehend. Worse, in a story with not so much conflict as much a minor setback, 3 ponies are almost killed and as it turns out, she could have gotten home easily all along. I'm sorry but her sheer stupidity is well below my level of understanding. There's making mistakes, and then there's... that.

  2. hi hi

    On the contrary SuperWriter, Blue-Purple, Yellow-Orange is a perfect complementary color scheme. I suppose everyone is entitled to their personal opinions, but from a formal artistic point of view, Rarity with dark skin is a fantastic color scheme.

    Brown and Blues is such a great color scheme it boggles my mind, but don't take my word for it.

    Can't say I agree, but you do have a valid point there. I would like to note I never said my opinion was fact, I just find dark brown to be a color that doesn't mix well with brighter colors.

  3. In Luna Eclipsed, Sweetie Belle is dressed like Dracula and Scootaloo's the wolf man, meaning they do exists within the show's canon in some context. Whether they are fictional characters within the show, actual sentient beings, or an urban myth, or even of humanoid shape, it's currently up in the air.

    As for me, I want to see a fishman, like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

  4. When bronies upload videos of themselves walking around torturing innocent bystanders by shoving FiM in their faces.

    - I'd like to note It makes me so happy when the top comments are along the lines "please leave our fanbase".

    When bronies can't take a joke, like that video with Bobby from King of the Hill becoming a brony.

    When an unfunny meme starts on Ponibooru, like "What if Gummy Was" and the "Rabbid Idiot Brony".

    When arguements over the term pegasister comes up, seriously, why do people care about this?

    When humanized ponies with hair that doesn't match dark skin have dark skin. Seriously, Rarity's bright purple hair does not look good with dark skin.

  5. I love animation, anything and everything about just interests me. While I'd be lying if I called myself an anime fan, I have come across an occasional one I've enjoyed. However, I'm more into American/Canadian/European cartoons. I just feel they are faster, more entertaining, and really, just more culturally relevant to me. Because of this, my vote is on cartoons, even if anime is the same thing with different standards.

  6. While I will say this was my least favorite episode, right under Over and Barrel, I must say it actually had some decent qualities. For example, the RD Fanclub was a nice touch, and so was her heroic acts around Ponyville. What I do feel, is that the episode's climax was way to predictable and it overall was just not that fun. To describe it, act one - Rainbow Dash is a hero, act two - Mare Do Well is better, act three Rainbow Dash learns a lesson. It just lacks the fun the other have, and I really feel it missed a chance to create something great.

  7. Okay let me list this sucker:

    1. The Animation - while not exactly on par with 1933's "The Mad Doctor" it's paced almost perfectly. The movements are all smooth and imaginative, and at time it's obviouse the animators have worked over time in order to complete the project. It really shows when placed next to a shoddy show, like Johnny Test.
    2. The Art - while part of the animation, I feel this is something to point out on it's own. For the lack of a better term, the art is gorgeous. The characters have extremely expressive designs and the backgrounds are both simple yet very complex if you take the time to appreciate it. It's also one of the few shows to take advantage of the merchandise driven genre, in that many buildings just scream toyline, but I don't care because they look so good.
    3. The Characters - Each character is... a character! They all have different traits that make them so much fun to watch interact. Even more, they expand greatly out of their architypes. Rarity, that character I thought would be that annoying punk that never shuts up about fashion, wound up being my favorite character for crying out loud. Just when you think you know one character, they suddenly do something different. Pinkie Pie might be overly playful, but she always has a different reaction to every situation. Even further, they are flawed, not the BS Hollywood flaws like bad grades that have no effect on the plot, but rather ones that are always present and at times even conflict with their strongest virtue. These are like Rarity's greed vs he generosity. While lower browed individuals may see it as a plot hole and out of character, I see it a human. I can relate to a human, not the Hollywood Hero Bot model 3.45.
    4. The Setting - Equestria is a good example of how to do a fantasy world right. It's rather easy, but many have failed to do it. How do you do it you may ask? Well quite simply... YOU DO NOT JUST GIVE MIDDLE EARTH A PAINT JOB AND YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FANTASY ELEMENT AND MAKE YOUR OWN WORLD. Equestria always has something new and unique to it. Sure it takes pre-established ideas, like Cerberus, but it also has the decency to use them in original ways. Not only that, but sometimes it's obvious the writers did a little research before hand, did you know Ahuizotl is an actual mythical creature? That's dedication.
    5. The Writing - This show is actually the only show I can name where I could go on a longer rant to critique every single episode. There has yet to be a single episode that left me in a true state of meh, and even Over a Barrel and Mare Do Well, two episodes I absolutely hate, leave an impression. In my book, it's better to be so bad I hate it, than so okay it's forgettable. This is all achieved through it's clever writer and characters so rich in personality they basically write themselves. This is something the writers of Johnny Test could learn.
    6. The Music - I'd be lying to say it's better than the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme, but it's good enough to be on my ipod. They are all catchy and unique in there own way, such as the Flim Flam Brother's 1960 Musical-esque crowd song. When ever they start singing, I get excited, especially weird considering I hate unnessary music numbers outside musicals.
    7. The Nature - I'm just going to let this out, please don't get angry this is one person's opinion (and I'm the minority on this), and I do not expect you to agree. I feel way too many Japanese writers have forgotten how to write a decent story and have become overly reliant on low brow ways to cover up their weakness. I'd watch some anime and nothing really happens from beginning to end except it moving from one bland character's panty shot to the next. It leaves me bored and bitter about the world of writing. I know there are some animes that defies what I've described and Hollywood isn't much better, but it's just so prevalent that whenever I hear about the new overly popular anime, I preemptively expect a bland show with bland characters and a lot of content marketed at people so insecure about their own masculinity they need a fix of self insertion into the main character constantly covered in the panties of large breasted, blond haired, blue eyed, tall 14 year old japanese girls. (While I'm at it why can't these same japanese animators draw japanese people). When I get like this, anything that breaks the norm and has, dare I say it, interesting characters that do something other than show off their panties immediately come across me as fresh and unique. It's not's so much innocence as much as it is bloody maturity. I don't need a show holding my hand and telling me I'm a man, I'm mature enough to not give a flying feather.
    8. The Community- I can say I absolutely adore the community. Videos, music, games, art and even physical objects themselves. That is dedication there. Whenever I boot up the internet, sites like Equestria Daily and Ponnibooru are some of the first sites I visit. The comics I especially like.

  8. Man that sucks, but they need to suck it up. What have you done wrong? Like a harmless TV show?

    You are still you, and eventually they'll realize that. If you've had a good relationship with them before becoming a brony, it should stay afterwards.

  9. As horrid as 4kids have proven to be, with the exception of the first 2 seasons of TMNT and Turtles Forever, I don't think they'd really harm FiM.

    Just looking at the show, it's pretty tame. No one bleeds, swears, smokes, or let alone dies. If anything, the worst we'd have to worry about is them trying to replicate a voice for another butchering of North America's national anthem. My head hurts again from thinking of that dreaded performance...

  10. My natural cynicism tells my G5 will go back to being sappy and weak. However I like to think certain companies will remember to put art over a quick buck and make G4 the standard. I mean, just look at the Land Before Time, amazing movie turned into a sequel factory of lame pudding.

  11. I can help, but I have a project of my own.

    If you get me some screenshots of the areas you descibed I'll do some work on them.

    also, I assume you mean 8-bit (or similar) not just anything that falls under chiptunes?

    Thanks, that will really help.

    I do not have much on the locations themselves as of now, but I will send you some screens as soon as possible.

    If you want, I can also type up a small summary of the script and a description of certain areas and characters. In fact, I'll get started on that right now for future reference.

  12. Hello everyone, over the past few months I've been working on a game, however, I've come across a bit of a problem recently as I am now in need of some music for it, and I suck at composing my own.

    So as you may have guessed be the title alone, I'm looking for someone who is good with making MIDI music files for it.

    The games an RPG, so just to give you an idea, I'll need themes for:

    - Ponyville

    - Canterlot

    - The Train

    - A Frozen Wasteland

    - A Frozen Castle

    - Normal Battles

    - Mini Boss Battles

    - Boss Battles

    I should note I'm looking for high quality original tracks, stuff that could be compared to the SNES or Genesis for example. Also they will need this feel of desperation in a bitter winter overtone to them. Oh yeah, I'm also going to need at least 50 different songs, so I may recruit multiple people for this.

    If you think you can help, please post below or send me a message.

    Also, if you think you may know where I can find MIDI artists willing to do the job, please let me know.

    I won't be able to pay anyone for their help, but I will make sure whoever gets involved is credited.

    All help will be greatly appreciated.

  13. I used to be a considerably more cynical person, often using the phrase, "This series really needs to end." That phrase punched me in the face when MLP FiM, a franchise I felt needed to die years ago, wound up being good. Now, I never say something needs to die, but rather something needs to get better, and this is how it could get better.

    I'm still cynical and overly critical, but now I've started looking more in depth with my criticisms looking for the positive aspects while also finding ways to mend the bad. If anything I lost a little and gained a lot.

  14. I'd be shocked, if anything. Then, I would take it home (assuming I wasn't already home) and would do some research to see if this had happened to anybody else. I'd probably try to keep it secret, last thing it needs is a horde of scientists and bronies and news reporters constantly badgering the poor thing. With the existance of super natural being now proven, I'd spend whatever time I need to find a way to send the thing back to where it belongs, away from a world not fit for it.
