Support NeoGAF

[Dai101]

I am probably going to appear to be a douche, So i'll start with some positives

The Graphic design is fantastic the web design nerd in me loves the use of colours.

The animation although flashy (as in Adobe), it still has personality and charm.

I'll give you kudos for watching it even if in the end you don't liked it, which is MORE (and i mean a LOT MORE) than most people who just plain HATE this will ever do.

The problem is the content/writing, now i must stress TO ME or IMO, the stories do not contain enough material for adults to relate to, the stories are clearly (again IMO) aimed at 3-8 year olds, and the only thing that I can see that appeals to GAF Adults is some kind of Kawaii factor and in the worse case a furry/beastiality factor IMOIMOIMOxMillion

To each his own, i really like the writing, the humor and the shout outs to other media that 3-8 y.o.'s have never heard or know about, yet.

Then again kudos to you.

This thread on shoryuken.com made me laugh!

Oh haha I remember bumping into that thread. Someone also apparently posted a link to our avatar wall over at systemwars... that's not a pretty thread either. And since it seemed like we were running a little low I added Pangloss' batch to the wall along with some of my own:

Call of the Cutie was OK and The Stare Master was good, especially as a Fluttershy episode. I didn't like the last one, though - now that was just a tad too much.

Actually you're right, I forgot about The Stare Master, though that was more about Fluttershy than the crusaders themselves.

Apple Bloom's first episode was good too, because it was just her interacting with the regular cast and had a pretty great message behind it.

I guess conceptually the cutie crusaders are ok, but it feels like there's so little to differentiate the three of them from one another. The most recent one felt like it dragged on forever, because by the end of the first act you knew where the climax was headed, and you knew that they weren't going to come close to earning their cutie marks.

If Lauren Faust gets her casually-mentioned wish of a spinoff, I wonder what direction they could even take it. The type of "hijink" they become involved in aren't very different than what the normal cast could do.

Ooh, I think I'll trade this one

I knew it. Kill this thread with fire.

Because ponies like cupcakes?

AFAIK, one of the main draws of the show is that it doesn't have stealth content for adults (as most people would expect seeing that it has an adult fanbase). Nor does it have mind-numbingly offensive dumbed-down-for-kids content. It's a sort of pure neutral. It does have some mind-numbing stuff forced on them by Hasbro, and some stealth adult content like Derpy, but those aren't really it's core.

And it's not something people are building their lives around, it's an interesting diversion. At least that's the case with me. In this past week I've re-watched Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan the Barbarian, Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, a five hour A&E movie adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, The Office season one (US version), and some Ah! My Goddess anime. Going back farther than that, I was mostly watching a bunch of Lost and the 80's GI Joe cartoon.

Right now I'm enjoying the new MLP enough to make it my avatar (replacing Shantae 2, which was getting old). It's obviously not for everyone, and I'm pretty sure you even need to be in the right mood to enjoy it. I'm glad to see that you weren't closed minded and gave the show a chance, even if you didn't like it. And I disagree with the majority in that I think episodes 1&2 are an acceptable introduction to the series. It changes tone after the pilot, but the basics are all there.

 

[TheLegendary]

Because ponies like cupcakes?

Thats what you call it these days.

DIBS!!!!! I'll add to rotation with my actual avatar (if, it's ok with you guys)

 

[AceBandage]

Thats what you call it these days.

1. It's "That's what the kids are calling it these days?"

2. Just because you imagine pony fellatio doesn't mean the rest of us do.

1. I figured kid was implied. You're right, I should've clarified by saying "man children"

2. You said it not me.

I forgot how sensitive you all are. It's a suggestive image. If you can't recognize that then youre being purposefully obtuse and that makes it even creepier.

 

[AceBandage]

And you're being incredibly angular.

 

[Shanadeus]

Eurobeat Brony is a youtuber who made a collection of Eurobeat mixes of some songs from the series.

Winter Wrap Up
Giggle at the Ghosties
Fluttershy's Lullaby
Cupcakes
Evil Enchantress
Art of the Dress

Edit: Hah, already done before I got to it.

Wow, I love the Giggle at the Ghosties one!

Got Art of the Dress, Cupcakes and Fluttershy's Lullaby left.

sportsfans are always the biggest trolls

I knew it. Kill this thread with fire.

wow that's really disgusting

 

[The Hermit]

Okay just watched episode 19 and that was just plain funny. I don't mean funny for kids... I mean funny.
I actually laughed the whole chapter...

I dare a naysayer watch that and don't find it slightly funny.

EDIT: thanks icarus

EDIT2: wtf, I thouhg it was a typo...what the hell is a neighsayer?

At least you could make a case for

possibly being consensual.

I shudder when I think about what the "bronies" did to this poor thing:

I didn't even think of that.

We need a pony avatar for this man ASAP!

 

[wsippel]

As far as I can tell, pony avatars are pretty much a Rorschach test - the reactions are a lot more meaningful than the avatars. And some people should really question their own line of thought.

 

[Dai101]

... the reactions are a lot more meaningful than the avatars in itself.

Sorry,i can't help it :lol

You know, that's strangely true.

Alas, any man that preaches the virtues of Joe Buck doesn't have much to stand upon!

 

[Shanadeus]

Okay, the Cupcake eurobeat remix is my favorite alongside
Giggle at the Ghosties.

 

[wsippel]

You know, that's strangely true.

I don't think it's strange. Take this quote for example:

I shudder when I think about what the "bronies" did to this poor thing:

We, as in "the people who actually watch the show", don't need to think about what's going on there. No need for implications. We know the context. dream, however, does not. And instead of doing research or just taking it at face value, he's implying something. Something that simply and honestly is not there.

 

[AceBandage]

The Winter Wrap Up Euro Beat Remix sounds exactly like something out of One Piece.

 

[dream]

Admittedly, my perspective was completely skewed after seeing this:

I can kinda see that.

Or hear.

 

[AceBandage]

Yeah, but even hardcore MLP fans lambasted Pandaman for that one.
I, naturally, encouraged it because meltdowns are always funny.

 

[TheLegendary]

My apologies. Clearly an objective viewer should be able to come to the conclusion that the image represents a pony wanting cupcakes. Admit it, out of context if someone passed your computer with that GIF playing they might be warranted in wanting to keep you away from their children.

Wasn't placing judgement on the viewers until Mr Defensive chimed in so I'll end it here. Dont have a problem with people enjoying a show.

Context is everything. May Aaron Rodgers be spared the Madden cover for your humility.


As for a buck thread, make sure it lives up to your name so we can bump it yearly like FMT's favre depreciation thread!

 

[Risette]

Reposting that image should be bannable or something. Linking it is one thing, reposting it shows that you're clearly trying to stir shit.

It's also fucking weird wtf.

Anyways I would approve of a cutie mark crusaders spin-off series.

No. Just... no.

Give it time. Eventually someone is going to use it to derail a different thread and it'll end up like that creepy TMNT gif.

 

[ZoddGutts]

No. Just... no.

Yes!

 

[Shanadeus]

No. Just... no.

It's a win-win.

For those who hate the CMC it would mean less of the CMC in the main show.

For those who like the CMC it would mean more of the CMC.

 

[Mirimar]

Pinkie Pie would freak out

 

[AceBandage]

It's a win-win.

For those who hate the CMC it would mean less of the CMC in the main show.

For those who like the CMC it would mean more of the CMC.

Hmmm... I can not argue against this logic.
Still, like the Cleavland Show, I can not agree on principle alone.

 

[ZoddGutts]

It's a win-win.

For those who hate the CMC it would mean less of the CMC in the main show.

For those who like the CMC it would mean more of the CMC.

Exactly.

I'd make it my sig if GAF had signatures.

 

[Kalnos]

Had to since Foxix mentioned it.

 

[Zomba13]

Admittedly, my perspective was completely skewed after seeing this:

Aww really man? Get that shit out of here.

 

[Risette]

I'd make it my sig if GAF had signatures.

That would be a really long sig.

 

[Foxix Von]

It's a win-win.

For those who hate the CMC it would mean less of the CMC in the main show.

For those who like the CMC it would mean more of the CMC.

Thinking about it, yeah I definitely support a spin off. If I ever feel like watching CMC I'd have a whole separate series to enjoy. However it would preserve all the things I like about FiM and keep it clean of CMC.

 

[tiff]

That would be a really long sig.

Makes it just that more effective.
