Bellosh Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 The most amazing things this series has going for it is the complete focus on platonic friendships.It would be improved by removing spike's infatuation and the hearts and hooves episode.Now then, I think both of those things fit the show because they mostly play the romantic stuff for laughs (at least when Shining & Cadance are not involved), avoid all the stupid "will they, won't they?" angst that constitutes most romantic drama and because there is an understanding that things will stick to the status quo at the episode's end. Things only become problematic if romantic issues become serious, season-spanning priorities for the Mane 6 that change the old status quo.

brianblackberry Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Wedding between two ponies we have ever met: lots of funDating between two ponies we know: terrible idea.The most amazing things this series has going for it is the complete focus on platonic friendships.It would be improved by removing spike's infatuation and the hearts and hooves episode.Spike's childlike unrequited love doesn't bug me, it reminds me of the days of elementary school where we had stupid kid like crushes, or the pre-teen crush on some big teen celebrity. Of course he could be in love for other "more dragon" reasons; instead of wanting a romantic relationship, he could see Rarity as an "object of great beauty" like the most valuable gem, as dragons have that innate desire to collect and horde beautiful things, and that is how this base desire manifests itself in Spike.No doubt that is over thinking it too, but make a good story.As for Hearts and Hooves Day, I love that episode, at least for all the humorous and crazy expressions that were used; you can tell the artists had a field day there. Even if Cheerilee and Mac became a couple, that wouldn't bug me because how is that much different than the Cakes? It wouldn't be teen angst, they're adults. I am fine with background or secondary characters being together for story, but doing it for the mane six would fundamentally alter the show's premise. In that sense I strongly suspect they will never be shipped in show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesh Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Those two examples are tame. Borderline. I'd rather them stay farther away from the line, but they have done a very good job overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkleheart Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Even if it *was* canon, I somehow doubt that would have too much effect on the alternate universes of fan fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
