My Little Pony

I'm only a fan of the new show, so I couldn't care less about the previous generations.

Yesterday I'd have sided with Sleet, except earlier today I watched Rescue from Castle Midnight, and it was surprisingly decent. Awesome villain.

That reminds me. Rumor has it that next season of FiM will have a reoccuring villain.

What you probably should not have:
*an image database (bronibooru makes all other attempts irrelevant)
*a message board (I mean, why have one when there are several other places to discuss it and your viewership will likely be mainly people from this thread for a while?)

What you might want to do:
*kiss up to that guy who made Derpy Delivery for exclusivity for....something, I don't know
*make all page backgrounds pictures of Minty with socks

Actually, you're right about the forums. He would at least need those to precipitate content. The frivolousness of another image aggregator can't be disputed though. I'm guessing Cwitt doesn't just want to be a carbon copy of Equestria Daily or whatever, since if he doesn't have any deep connections he couldn't do anything they and dozens of other content aggregators haven't already done.

I think an editorial angle would be nice. There's an ever-growing world of topics to write about, including the My Little Pony franchise in general, Hasbro (including The HUB), the McCracken family, modern cartoons, the moral and other themes of the show, what the voice actors and the studio are doing outside of FiM, what the make-up of the fandom really means in a wider lens, etc.

Scott tends to take down strips he doesn't like, kupo. And that strip wasn't really very good anyway.

I do want to be different from the others. If I'm a copy, whats the point? I would just be doing what they already do, but not as well. However, I may not do very well at writing articles on pony related topics.

I'd care a lot more if it was the writer of the original scot pilgrim graphic novel, but Shaun of the dead is good enough for me.

I wouldn't say the cartoon was bad before. To me something is only bad if it fails at its purpose. The old cartoons was made for two reasons. To entertain little girls and to make them buy merchandise. The little girls liked it and they bought the stuff. By those standards the show was good. Plus its not like anyone else was really supposed to like it. That would be like a teenager complaining about the quality of Bob the Builder.

But I digress. I'm looking forward to the new season because they're supposed to be adding a villian. I enjoy my villians.That and it means more chaos emeralds of harmony action.

Two things. One, that seems like an incredibly unfair match-up. Second, what's Mugen? Third, anyone seen the new episode yet?

also next season Luna is finally going to return

Mugen is a fighting game where people make characters and program them. It works basicly like street fighter. So you can literally anyone fight anyone as long as the characters been made. Mugen games are mugens made with specific settings. Its easiest to look up videos on youtube and you'll get the concept.

secondly its a fighting game threes no such thing as an unfair match up. Okay well there is in mugen cuase some people make unfair characters.

Fluttershy was my favorite part of the whole episode. Wasn't expecting her to snap like that.

I loved Fluttershy, kupo! And I liked Mr. Cake and Spike. Ah, family-friendly alcohol. *giggles*

Yes, but crazy Pinkie Pie is still scarier to me.

exranio · Post by **exranio** » Fri May 06, 2011 10:26 pm

Unless episodes are out of order it took a really long time for the galla to actually start. I mean who would give tickets almost a year in advance.
