The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

Fun tidbits

 

[Populuxe]

After almost two months, Discordant Harmony and A Perfect Pear were finally released on iTunes. I just picked up Magical Movie Night from iTunes as well. No extras on the release.

I've been enjoying the Equestria Girls Summertime Shorts, especially Monday Blues. Sunset Shimmer's bed head (and her reaction to it) is hilarious. It's also our first look at her home life. It looks like she lives alone. Makes me wonder how she pays the rent. I'm a big fan of the EG movies, so I'm happy to hear it's going to become it's own series next year.

 

[Casey]

Just watched the new episode and wow this was a shocking episode honestly, It's like it was aimed directly at the fandom.

S07E14: Harsh-bro​

- "This is for teaching friendship, not marketing!"
- Glad RD says "Cocky" for G rated show.
- Starlight Manifesto LOL.
- Wait AJ is popular?
- Starlight will be burned at stake if she joins the meta adventure.
- Yeah, problems dont solve itself with songs.

"Triple Threat": a mini-review

Spoiler

Spike mistakenly invites both Thorax and Ember to Ponyville on the same day. He spends the rest of the day trying to keep them apart.

What I like best about this episode is the reversal of gender expectations between Ember and Thorax. Ember's aggressiveness and command are generally seen as masculine traits, and Thorax's empathy and accommodation are generally seen as feminine. Of course none of those traits are actually masculine or feminine, but these are the gender expectations we put on people. MLP switched it up, however, showing boys they can be leaders who listen and care, and girls can be leaders who are bad ass and confident Of course once they meet, they get along great, the one outcome Spike didn't even consider. Bad Spike!

A couple other things I liked: Ember couldn't tell Twilight and Starlight apart. And Starlight really liked Ember, something the writers suggested in the first episode of this season, "Celestial Advice."

 

[Casey]

Didn't like this episode that much but it was kinda alright.

Do like that it makes some artist make more Ember art though.

S05E15: Bugging the Dragon
​

Spoiler: Truth to told

- God the new Changeling design gave me headaches. Hate it still. Old ones looks just like i've envisioned since child. New ones is little girls cliche.
- Ember is cooool.
- Not a fan of this ep. Spike being idiot again. And some other underwhelming things.

S07E16: Legends of Magic​

- Based on IDW comic i heard. Good.

- Based on IDW comic i heard. Good.

They are. My Little Pony: Legends of Magic issues 2, 3 and 4 in that order. I'm a comics fan, so I've been buying and reading all the IDW comics. It's good stuff.

 

[Casey]

It was actually a pretty decent episode, I liked the stories.

:3

 

[Casey]

Episode 17 was kinda meh but episode 18 was pretty good though imo. I'm biased though lol.

 

[FoRiZon]

S07E17: From Warriors to Sugarbowls​

- Bloddy hell those Changedlings. Reminds me of who is the real demographics this show is for.
- Predictable. Though the character complexity is appreciated.

S07E18: Here for the Sphinx​

- "Interested in politics?" lol

[Casey]

This may just be my favorite comic short I've seen. Link because it's kinda long.

Also someone made me an oc pic for my avatar.

Hillarious to think that the Egypt episode aired the same day as the founding loads of Egyptian Treasures.

[Populuxe]

It looks like the comic book "My Little Pony: Legends of Magic" is designed to coincide with the television episodes. Issue 5, which came out Sept. 6th, featured a story about Somnambula. The story was about how she removed a curse from a snake.

S06E19: Bad Hair Day

Spoiler

I kinda skip this one. The premise seems too much for the intended audience, lol.

https://derpibooru.org/tags/spoiler-colon-s07e19

 

[Casey]

I'm skipping watching this one also but I am quite liking the punk Rarity art a lot.

 

[FoRiZon]

First off, try searching Google for "Best Pony". Tell me what you get.

S08E20: Dark Medicine

Spoiler

- The fact that ponies that's dead is reincarnated to trees took a dark meaning of the forest. Maybe the ponies got a legit reason to scared to it.

[Casey]

I saw someone tried to record the movie during the premier. Good thing they got kicked out though.

Episode was ok to me.

Yeah, it was a good call to kick them out. At least wait for the proper release to tape low quality cell phone copies.

I read about that. He was wearing a Pinkie Pie wig. I wonder if the cell phone was in the hair? Anyway, I plan on seeing the movie on October 6th. Fortunately, it's playing in my local theater.

 

[Casey]

I'm going to wait until the movie gets realesed digitally. I'd feel like a weirdo watching it in theaters.

Short comic with best bat.

Spoiler

 

[Ialyrn]

I couldn't resist jumping on the punk Rarity bandwagon........

 

[Populuxe]

I can't decide which I like better: punk Rarity or wet-mane Rarity.

 

[Casey]

I quite liked the new episode. Pretty neat seeing Thunderlane getting some speech parts.

The episode has me wondering what the Wonderbolts members all cook now.

 

[FoRiZon]

S07E21: Anarchy Mark

Not sure what I can respond to this eps tbh. If he didnt want any marks, let them i guess?

Either way I dont think irl people nowadays are okay if they hear "crusaders". Either way, bit of lower than average episode.


Also lol at people compare Rumble to Starlight. Because some rebel activists is precisely the same as tyrannical regime. Sure.

https://derpibooru.org/tags/spoiler-colon-s07e21

 

[Epic B]

Rumble was not worried about blank. I suppose he didn't learn much from That Guy.

 

[Casey]

I think the one on top died lol.

Episode was alright. Boy Star Tracker was more socially awkward than me.

 

[FoRiZon]

Quite lots of news now.

Movie Talkback​

So the movie is finally here. Still not seeing it now. But I saw many girls with pony clothes gather up making quite huge audience. Also the movie has basically huge ad campaign on theater, even the popcorn box. I say its successful attracting the audience.

Some "Pro" critics says its bad because boo hoo my manliness, even scores lower than Emoji Movie. BS I say.

Evil Dash looks like a bad oc that got drawn quickly.

Episode 24 was the most relatable episode I've seen.
