Friendship is Magic General Discussion Thread
 

DAMNIT /CO/
THEY MADE ME GET INTO MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC

Radnote: this thread was originally in /b/uizel, but gradually became a discussion. These first few posts will be awful. You have been warned.

FIGHT IT BRO YOU CAN DO IT

OH GOD IM SO CLOSE TO FALLING IN TO THE TEMPTATION SOMEBODY HELP ME

*sigh*

V_V I've been avoiding this show all week. But damn it, if I can watch the Powerpuff Girls and like it, then I can survive an episode of this.

By the time you read this, I have watched the first episode. And possibly died. In that case, goodbye forever. In either case, goodbye what little masculinity I had remaining.

*Points at location*

And of course the bad pony's black...

Also, for the record, I liked Spike before I found out he was from this show.

Also why is the gender ratio of Equestria like 200 females to 1 male. Logically, the species should go extinct in about a hundred years.

Maybe the females can reproduce together..

ANYWAY, WELCOME TO THE HERD. HERE ARE YOUR WELCOMING GIFTS.

Kthanx.

I hate whatever flavor pie that is. You can have that back.

Also wuts a /co/

/co/mic, I think.

Hey, isn't the person who made this show made Powerpuffgirls, or something like that?

Watch Ep 2, FINAL COLOR BLASTER!

So is this a whole series or is it like a three part special or something

Also if Spike's a baby how can he talk.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY
WTF

^FINAL COLOR BLASTER!

Yep, this season don't have much of a plot. It's like Spongebob Squarepants but with ponies.

I can't watch these.

There's too many colours.
My A.D.D Mind doesn't know where to go. Dx

THAT'S THE POWER OF SUNNY D FRIENDSHIP!!

But srsly I did not care for that too much either D: At least she's supposed to return in her good form again, whoo hoo!

Fix'd.

Also I dont give a [expletive] about her good form. Every show needs an antagonist.

I daresay this show is decent

Yes. Now watch all 18 of them and the reruns at 9:30 and the new episodes on Fridays at 1:30.
Horrible timing for a show aimed towards young girls but whatever

It's actually aimed for all audience around 5-12.
So says Lauren Faust...

Ah yeah, she said she wanted to break free from the old shows and make something that both boys and girls can enjoy.

Then again for the timeslot it's in it's mostly being viewed by 13-25 year old guys and maybe a girl.

This show is actually

....pretty good.

too good

Agreed.

^^^^^^^^

I still want to believe every episode uses some sort of subliminal mind control that gives you a powerful urge to watch the show.

It's the only way to explain how virtually everyone who's posted in this thread is male.

^Yep.

And http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Background_ponies the background ponies and there fan-names.

I like Lightning Bolt.

Thread moved to General Media. Keep it less spammy now that it's here, guys.

I like Candy Mane/Bacon and Eggs hairstyle! I hope we get to see more of her. Vinyl Scratch needs to show up more too.

I love Rainbow Dash, she reminds me of Sonic the hedgehog.

Fluttershy is better.

It's funny how this show is better then the shows on CN.

Hub is were all the cool shows are.

Hub generally shows a bunch of great TV shows- even the live-action game shows based on board games that generally suck are great. (Pictureka! and Family Game Night)
And they show a lot of old shows, too- Batman, GI Joe, The Transformers, Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days, Family Ties... The list goes on and on, man.

Strangley, I cam't get in to the Hub....

I'll give it one more try.

Attempt to keep this thread active.

The newest episode was hilarious(And had small amount of Rainbow Dash :/ ).
Anyone hear of Equestria Daily?

Arceus, I missed the new episode again....

I haven't watched this show since that all-night-ten-episode-a-palooza a few weeks ago when I first got into MLP. I guess my obsession is gone...

Also: How many episodes are there? I think I've only seen the first fourteen.

Kind of bump.

Anyawys, i watched my first episode of FiM on TV today. It was the one where Rairty(I think) gets captured by dogs that look nothing like dogs. I'm also starting to like this show more and more.

That episode was hilarity! Dragon Knight FTW.

Also peeps are finally making some good Youtube Poops of it(So far 2 that aren't from iDuckFilms).

(Thread needs moar DJ Vel up in here)

Really? I'll need to check out the Youtube Poops.

Also, happy (Pinkie) Pi day!

Heh, that thing is all over /pony/.

I should check Lauren Faust's dA page...

FREAKING BEATS ALL
Anyways, newest episode was awesome.

Cartoon network is long gone, all that exists now is CN and my my is that a desolate wasteland with only 1 or 2 shows even worth watching, now they've got all this reality show crap on it too - I miss it when Cartoon Network was actually good (Ed, Edd n' Eddy, Dexter's Lab, Megus XLR, Toonami, etc., etc.).


Btw, don't know if I ever linked this here:

An official PMV!

Equestrian Girls

And then DJ-P0N3 was cannon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZhUi1jpRis

Derpy's cannon in the next series too

I know.... but I am a bit worried about that, 'cause you know, the Family GUy Effect...

Holy crap...
Bronies are mentioned by Pinkie Pie...
...I underestimated this fandom.

On a side note, I find it funny how this thread is more active than it was before the season finale.

WHOA PINKIE MENTIONED BRONIES?
LINKS OR I'M NOT BELIEVING YOU

Make no mistake of it, the word she used was indeed "Bronies"

Exact lyrics:

"And bronies - hang out too
(come on bronies)
cause they know we're awesome fillies"

Thanks for clarifying the lyrics.

I couldn't understand the full sentence because them pegasi kept laughing.

Let's not forget how Spike Dogg mentions DJ-P0N3.

****, man. Did I seriously just watch all 26 episodes in 3 days? Damn I love this show.

Frikken awesome man!

Cupcakes done up in robot voices, courtesy of Sparky (from a different site)

I learned the same person who voiced Timmy Turner (Fairly Odd Parents) voiced Twilight Sparkle..... (...) ....

Yup, thats Tara Strong for ya.

It's not uncommon for females to do voices for young boys; after all, it's harder to find young kids with vocal talent.

Yeah, she's done quite a bit of work voice acting for cartoons
Youtube can't seem to get enough of taking quotes from the princess from Drawn Together and putting them over Twilight, you can imagine the result

Apparently, there's gonna be a MLP and Transformers crossover...

How the f*** is gonna work is up to Hasbro.

Oh gawd I hope not
If the only indication of that is the fact that pinkie and megatron sing a verse in the same song then it's utter bs, but if you heard somewhere else Hasbro has officially gone insane.

Btw, here's the song if anyone hasn't already seen it

Well that was an amusing juxtaposition. Pinkie Pie feat. Megatron!...?

I would buy that album

Bronies hit major news! Issue #4

There's a podcast that talks on the topic of Bronies.

or just click on this!

I'm still loling at Bill Clinton x Ponies.

KRASTOS THE GLUE MAKERRRRRRRRRRRR

Proof that ponies are awesome

More commercials

DVDs and Good Pony toys?

This is gonna be so AWESOME!

SEREBII CONFIRMED

>Toys for bronies

Mah brain done exploded.

Nuff said.

How are any of your parents rich enough to afford The Hub?

Well I still got to watch at my grandma's and this show is weird and annoying but entertaining in some really awesome way.

It's bundled with the other kid's stations as a Kids' Package or something, I think.

I have a younger sister so my parents bought the kids stuff too

Though to tell you the truth I've never watched it on TV, all done via youtube

Either you guys always miss this stuff or too lazy poast MLP news here. I did it for you.

The more I see this show, the more I like it.
The more I see people making a big deal about it, the more I stop taking them seriously.
The less serious they are taking, the more I think they've gone insane.
The more insane they get, the less trust I have of them.
The more bronie I see, the more I started to value this show less.
The bigger deal people make about the show, the more I can see where the haters are coming from.

I really don't know what to think of this show anymore.....

As I've said multiple times, don't go on /b/ - people there are annoying regardless of bronidom or not, and the ones where most of the stereotypes that exist about them come from

I never go to "Glitch City", I try so hard to be funny and no one is satisfied. :/ And no one is funny in there in the first place. I'm a brony but I don't make that big of a deal. Ten years later, people will be made fun of watching this show still. And will end up being as crazy as me when I played Conker's Bad Fur Day.

No, I mean the actual /b/ - this site's little version has nothing on the levels of idiocracy that go on in the real deal.

People's attention span is too short to make fun of them 10 years later, besides part of bronyism is not caring about haters, the whole love and tolerance deal.

Which is why I edited my sig! :D

Official Comic Con poster
If you're into the show enough you can probably notice a few of the fan shout-outs.

I'm the only one who notice Rainbow Day.
I win.

Saw the last episode of Friendship is Magic season 1. Fluttershy is so...mad. Funny how at young she was just loved by nature and she loved nature but now she goes insane and seems like a killer in the last episode of season 1. ROFL'd for a while.

I finished the last episode today. I think I'm going into withdrawal. Help, guys.

Well, going to the fanon won't help. Try watching YTPs(if you like craziness).

Maybe this will help? D:

Behind those doors... Season 2 is being made.

Actually, that makes it worst.

*goes inside the room*

*sees Gabe Newell in the room*

Gabe: Uh no, it's just me, Gabe Newell.

Me: Dammit Valve!

Not sure how Valve got into this conversation, anyways.



On topic, oh man I want Season 2 so bad. Everytime I hear the actor voice Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash, I start twitching in joy with the Pinkie Pie kind of twitching and jumping and hand derping across the desk. It's awesome.

The joke of this is that Lauren Faust has taken forever to release season 2, correct? So with Valve they usually delay things which is why we won't see Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3 or Half Life 3 in another 10,000 years.

Actually, the last episode only aired two or three months ago. Based on a normal TV season schedule, we won't be getting it for another 6 weeks or so.

Anyway, as for that ComicCon poster, did anybody else notice that Twilight and Spike are in the front, and in the hot-air balloon in the background?

I also think it would have been funny if they had had Bloomberg in there.

Ah okay, I see. Not as long as Gabe and Half Life 2: Episode 3 though :lol:

I must say, so far, besides the whole "Fluttershy isn't a tree" conversation, my favorite moment of the show is when the Cutie Mark Crusaders are chasing the chickens. In the background, your can hear Sweetie Belle scream, "Get over here, you *******s!"

My niece watches this show... she's 3. I've watched an episode or two with her, and while I can't say if I would watch the show on my own or not, it seems to be pretty decent childrens programming. I don't feel like pulling my hair out when I watch it with her, basically. The ponies look cool haha!

You should continue watching it. It's fairly good after the first two pilot episodes.

It starts to get really good once she (Lauren Faust) starts acknowledging her REAL fanbase and starts modeling it around us a little more.

Steven Colbert gives a shoutout to us bronies:



Yes!

http://www.honmaru.pl/news/images/200_x23.jpg = http://fillydelphia.com/sites/defaul...ghtSparkle.jpg



.....Life is complete now, Tara Strong is awesome.

EDIT: Also, X-23 was done by the same actress as Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie in the movies. :D

Animator of Season 2 confirmed for teasing us with Season 2 ponies on Twitter; I'll update this post if there's no new posts to avoid bumps. Large images. Not sure if real..

This has just been confirmed. Tiny scenes of Season 2 in the HUB commercial.
