They can't all be gems. May be it is not that it has dropped in quality, it is just that there are not as many standout episodes.

I heard a rumor humans will be introduced next season. Now, as someone who has watched a healthy dose of G1, I actually don't see anything inherently bad about that, but it could definitely be done VERY badly.

My personal hope if it turns out true? The humans that are introduced are evil invaders from space. :I

You heard wrong

I think that is how it is for a lot of the complaints about this season (not all of them mind you the season isn't perfect) people have just finally lost the sense of wonder and amazement at the fact that a cartoon about pastel colored ponies can actually not suck.



I also think that the show has kind of hit a Plateau in terms of this particular status quo, which is one reason I'm actually excited for Alicorn Twilight, at least as it pertains to the limits they are given for the TV show anyway (the comics are another story completely). While I think that if they had kept going as is they could have gotten another good season out of it, I think they would have completely hit its limit by that point really.



That is people taking a line out of context from that Reddit leak a while back. It said that Alicorn Twilight pales in comparison to something else that hasbro told them to do for season Four, which the next point says that Derpy is no longer going to be in the background. People for some reason think that line is not referring to the point he/she makes right after saying it for some stupid reason. Instead they insist that it refers to human being put in the show because they like to panic about everything at this point.

Also even if they did introduce humans I would hope they do not in anyway do that whole "Humans are all war mongering and evil!" crud its so over done in fanfics to the point where its very very annoying. I'm tired of fanfics talking about how humans suck and out side a select few are no good and other such nonsense. We obviously as a species have our share of problems and its fine hit on that stuff (because doing the exact opposite of all humans are war mongering and evil is just as annoying) but humans are overall good.

I wouldn't like if they added humans. Having humans in ponies isn't inherently bad, but they didn't start this generation with humans so it would be hard to come up with a believable explanation as to why they haven't shown up yet. I suppose an interdimensional portal could work. If they did add a human, I hope it;s Blythe from Littlest Pet Shop =P

that being said, I think it unlikely they'll add humans, cause I don't think the writers are likely to do it of their own free will and adding human characters wouldn't help sell toys so Hasbro wouldn't have reason to tell them to do it.

I highly doubt there will be humans. Just by the Expy human ponies is a good enough hint of that =P

They should do it for Lyra!
It should go like this.

>.> No, I didn't get it from that Reddit release a while back. I'm glad y'all asked me where I got the idea from before saying it was wrong or silly.

Anyway, here's your daily dose of Nightmare Fuel.

Edit: Ooh, ooh, you know what'd be awesome? If, like, years after the show ended, a special MLP: FiM movie was released in the same vein as the awesome Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.

I can dream don't judge me! *flails*

The only other place anyone ever get that it might be happening is the whole thing with Hasbro registering Equestrian Girls and making a distinction between Pony toys and Dolls which means absolutely nothing at all. Its just Hasbro legal covering its butt on any possible toys they can make, so they can sue if anyone copies but calls them Dolls or something like that. Its an easy way to win a law suit nothing more. I mean Game Freak has registered Pokemon Brown,Cyan,Tan and a bunch of other colors they have not used yet it means nothing they are just covering them selves for any possibility.

I would love if they came out with a movie for this show even years later, it would lend itself to a movie really really well considering some of the episodes we have had.

Anyone else disappointed we didn't get a Rarity episode this season?

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, but it is rather strange.

nnnnnngggg

Why do you wish me to die of a heart attack from the cute?

*dies of a heart attack from the cute*

Edit: so, I just got and read the second issue of the MLP comic. It was... ehhh. The art is still fantastic and I still love all the humor and references, but I think the friends split too quickly, especially after their experiences with Discord. The arguing happened too easily. Also, the CMC are not that dumb.

I don't know, maybe I've just watched too many Linkara reviews.

Hey guys, spoilers

Boo!

Here is the real spoiler!

I dunno, I like the CMC being dumb in the comics. They're funny that way. I have no issue with cartoon characters being inconsistently intelligent for the sake of humor, as long as the swing isn't absolutely dramatic and sloppy.

Alternatively, they're doing on purpose simply to annoy Chrysalis.

I think that it was more that they just oblivious to how much danger that they are in. More naïveté than stupidity.

I think its actually a combination of these two things they don't really get how much danger they are in and they want to annoy Chrysalis

Edit: Season 4 confirmed for 26 episodes Looks like Season 4 will be a full 26 episodes bringing us up to a total of 91 episodes.

That is the second best news I have heard all day!

Makes me wonder why season 3 was only 13 episodes long. Here is to many more.

Likely there were two reasons for that 1. the parts of DHX and Studio B that work on FIM were split between two shows (I believe LPS IIRC) so they needed a lighter workload or 2. To get the show to the exact number needed for syndication (which is still 65 for cartoons) so its easier to sell as a package. The way they did it here they can sell 65 complete episodes in 3 complete seasons instead of in 2 and a half seasons.

Edit: For those of us who follow who writes what on this show Amy Keating Rogers has come back to the writing team and is writing episodes in season 4 Tweet for proof She wrote the episodes Applebuck Season, The Ticket Master, Fall Weather Friends, The Best Night Ever, The Cutie Pox, The Last Roundup, A Friend in Deed and MMMystery on the Friendship Express. This is a good thing for season 4 these were some great episodes IMO.

Amy Keating Rogers confirmed to be writing again in season 4.

She wrote:
Ticket Master.
Applebuck Season.
Bridle Gossip.
Fall Weather Friends.
A Dog and Pony Show.
Best Night Ever.
The Cutie Pox.
The Last Roundup.
A Friend in Deed.
And Mmmystery on the Friendship Express.

She's also the reason Derpy ever got a line.

So I just finished issue 3 of the comic. That was hilarious I really loved Fluttershy and Pinkie in this issue. Fluttershy being nonchantal while two groups of animals rip each other apart right above her and the others was great. She just explains that they are natural enemies and goes "Isn't nature fascinating?" while watching the whole thing. Fluttershy also quotes Spock with the famous Star Trek 2 line "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Pinkie with the random over sized RD and Pinkie costumes was just hilarious as well just pulling them out of nowhere Also Queen Chrysalis up and kills a kitten thing right in front of the CMC I'm loving the heck out of this comic so far its so good.

Have only read first two issues... must resist... must... oh gosh spoilers don't work when quoting NUUUUUUUUuuuuuu....

Teaser of the Next episode Rarity steps up to the plate in this episode it looks like, so Rarity fans might get some what of an episode this season after all.

Hi, couldn't help but notice how active this thread is. I have only watched one episode of "My Little Pony" before, and although it is not quite my cup of tea it really does come through in the animation department. I also think the little dragon guy is pretty funny.

Hi there! Thanks, we really do enjoy hanging out here and sharing stuff. Thanks for giving the show a try. ^_^

Yet another Teaser clip from this weeks episode They do that dance every time they see each other I guess.

I like how this time they're like "okay, that's getting old. Let's focus on Rarity instead"

A new theory on how you become a princess in Equestria.

Just click right here to see it.

Since IDW is crossing over "Mars Attacks" with most of their titles, including Hasbro's "Transfomers", do y'all think it is likely that there might be "Mars Attacks My Little Pony"? I want to see them take out some martians!

in the case of the comic, there are no comic shops in my town
so i have to use derpibooru to read it
to comment on the start of issue three (i think?)
the changelings commit genocide
oh god

I suddenly desire a fan fic in the vein of Aliens, only with changelings. Am I weird?

Yeah, I thought what happened to the kitty people was pretty messed up. It kind of threw me that they would suggest something so gruesome in a MLP comic!

No more weird than the rest of us. I for one would read it. There are plenty of parallels between the monsters. But you have to have a scene where one of the ponies comes in and delivers this line to Queen Chrysalis:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDqTwSO1DDc

That would be epic.

This is pretty good advice IMO I had to learn to do this with a lot of things really and some times its still hard, in terms of TV shows though for the longest time when I was a kid and young teen it was Sailor Moon but now a days I will openly admit I love the heck out of that show.

I was reluctant to admit it at first, not out of embarrassment but out of a feeling that my dad would be annoying about it (he calls anime gay just cause he knows it annoys me. I had no idea what he'd say about me liking pastel colored ponies)

but now I freely admit it. unless there's someone you have to deal with every day who will be annoying about it you have no reason to hide it.

"Oh hi there Mr. Ironic Costume. I bet you think you're cooler than everyone else here! Well guess what? You're also here. At the comic book convention." -Strong Bad

That's pretty much my attitude toward people like that. If someone at a comic store mocks someone for buying a MLP comic, all you gotta say is "What are you laughing at? You're at a comic book store."

That is a mean thing for your own dad to say! I mean, I'm used to it from mine but not from others!

No one has made fun of me for reading because I would beat the living crap out of them.

That's why I keep it from my parents. My mom wouldn't make a big deal of it so much, but my dad may.

I mean, he lets me live my life the way I want. But if things just ever get to a point that I'm helping him with something and it's not going right, he's getting aggravated, and I don't know what I'm doing because I've never done it before or his instructions are unclear due to him becoming aggravated, he's laid blame on me in the past because I watch "Those dumb [cencored] cartoons" or "Play those stupid video games all day" and apparently rot my brain.

Quite a bit ago he walked in my room when I was reading Penwrite's fic and asked what I was doing, so I just said I was reading a story about magic and heroes going on a quest or something. Sure enough a week or two later, when I couldn't figure out how to do something, he said that if I worked more and didn't read about "magic" I would be better at that kind of stuff.

I could only imagine if he knew that it was about MLP or that I watch the show. But other than that, I can't say that I really care. Even the kids in school who would pester me about it. I'm at the point I can shut them out. (Heck, I freely play "Brony" music out loud in carpentry class. Not that any of the kids actually know it is.)
