Hey, even the cool kids can find a book series they like. It doesn't have to ruin her character.

Did he see the entire episode? The whole point is that you don't have to be an egghead to like books.

Cry some more?

Seriously, whoever that is needs to grow the heck up. >.> If someone over the age range of 6-12 (the shows target audience) still hasn't learned that you can be an athlete/jock/"cool person" and still read books (even after watching an episode DEDICATED to teaching that lesson), there's a problem.

Clearly this person has never heard of the term Character Development.

To be fair this show doesn't have much of it.

True, which IMO makes it even better when it does happen, because then its really a nice surprise.

I have to agree with Sleet on this one. If this show HAD character development, some episodes (mostly of 2nd season) wouldn't exist.
edit: see the characters contradicting themselves or repeating the same mistakes is extremely irritating (this has happened before in the show and I doubt it will stop happening)

at least those last two have already been linked, but no discussion was had about the last one.

Penwrite · Post by **Penwrite** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:13 pm

Something occurred to me. Looking back on how Rainbow Dash thought reading was lame, then secretly got into it, before finally confessing to all of her friends, seems REALLY familiar...oh what could this possibly be like...

you've been beaten to that observation

Dangnabit!

*pouts*

Well, at least I'm the first to mention it around here...in other news, I just watched The Iron Giant for the first time in years, and it was as great as ever, maybe even better. I'm surprised I haven't seen a crossover of it and My Little...that's been done already too, hasn't it?

Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:16 pm

Google says yes.

Penwrite · Post by **Penwrite** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:26 pm

Actually, I've seen that picture, and it is awesome. I had actually been thinking more about a fan fiction crossover, silly me.

Have I mentioned how awesome you are recently, Brent?

Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:33 pm

no, you haven't. It's always nice to hear, though. *brohoofs*

Okay guys, forum minigame time!

Post images of MLP crossed over with the weirdest stuff. Ready go!

Slendermane has been posted before but I really like it. And why didn't I think of this before?

I found four!

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:51 pm

I don't know why Rainbow Dash isn't in Friendship is Magic style. It just makes Kingbow Dash even weirder.

Zukio · Post by **Zukio** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:54 pm

That is because it is from G3, and I found it from Google leading me to an earlier part of this topic.

her name and color scheme are from a G3 pony, while her personality was from Firefly. apparently, G3 RD was the Rarity, because she always dresses in style.

Penwrite · Post by **Penwrite** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:46 am

This is all true. In G3 Rainbow Dash was basically Rarity without the sense of generosity, sisterly love, or totally awesome, in-your-face attitude that's allowed Rarity to do stuff like kick a manticore in the face and berate GIANT!Spike for tearing her cape.

In other words, LAME.

I've listened to a ton of fan-made pony songs over the last several months after discovering the show, but this is probably the best (and most professional sounding) one I've come across yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDMGv3hN ... plpp_video

It's a DDR-style mix about Discord. The vocals are quite impressive and it's a ton of fun to sing!

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 6:05 pm

I prefer the same person's song about Luna. Particularly Alex S.'s remix.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 6:34 pm

Oooh. I really like the original of that. :3

The Alex S. version I have mixed feelings about. I feel like the verses were done very well, but I rarely enjoy dubstep. :/ It always walks a very fine line between sounding kinda cool and being incredibly irritating. And it all sounds very much the same to me; even when I know there is some variance, it still just sounds like I've heard it before in every other dubstep ever.

The piano was gorgeous, but the dubstep felt incredibly out of place with the rest of it.

I second that opinion on dubstep. I suppose that someone deeply skilled or experienced in the genre could find plenty difference between songs, but eh.

Hey friends, question. Do y'all prefer how any of the mane characters can send letters to Celestia now, or how only Twilight could do it in season 1?

Mon Feb 20, 2012 7:53 pm

well, now we don't have to always focus on Twilight learning the lessons.
but there's also this point that has been brought up.

Um...yeah...that's uh, quite the point there...I can't see it.

I guess I just kind of miss Twilight. She's my favorite character.

Mon Feb 20, 2012 9:46 pm

the point is that it was fine before when Twilight was writing all the letters, but now that the rest of the mane 6 are involved, Fluttershy seems to be the only one who hasn't written one of her own. The comic questions whether she just hasn't been writing them, or that she has yet to learn a lesson in Friendship. though the upcoming episode with Iron Will should fix that.
