1. Do something.
2. Play this song.
3. Do it heroically.

More amazingness.

Okay, the dubbed pilot is done broadcasting, in general lines (I don't know all the actresses):

—Whoever is singing the opening song REALLY needs singing lessons, she sounds pretty off-key.
—Regarding the voices:
-Twilight: fine, nothing special, but too high-pitched for her.
-Spike: the fact he's voiced by a girl SHOWS, quite a few kids are going to be confused when he falls for Rarity, even if the Spanish language doesn't allow for neutral pronouns, otherwise, I think I could get used to it.
-Applejack: voiced by Claudia Motta, fitting and appropiate, I mean that as a compliment mlre than it sounds.
-Rainbow Dash: her laugh is good, but I've got mixed feelings on hers. Tomboyish enough, but maybe too tomboyish, it sounds kind of like a boy going through puberty.
-Rarity: Elsa Covián is doing a good job with her and it pleases me, a lot. Now we'll just wait until she has to whine (don't disappoint me, please).
-Fluttershy: voiced by Maggie Vera, who has good range, but her voice is not as sweet, soft and cute as Libman's, it suits her a lot though, much more than I expected (she was Bubble's, that Bubble, voice in the dub, after all).
-Pinkie Pie: a pity, it was better when Covián voiced her (which was something like an ignorant child but it was good), not as energetic, crazy *and frenetic as it could be, sad, really.
—The names of all places are kept in English, well-pronounced English at least.
—The rest is waiting, the nice voices so far are Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack's; I'm neutral on Twilight's and Spike's and leaning towards the negative on Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie's, we'll just wait and see.

Why isn't this the Official MLP thread? Nobody else is enough of an underdeveloped/spergin' manchild to make another thread anyway...

Mind explaining youself? What's so wrong with commenting on the dub's voices? Or rewatching it?

It's an insult.

So anyway I'm enjoying all the Derpy cameos that have been cropping up in the shows which is about the best that could be done with the character. imo

Well, I like it and now it's on TV with other voices, in my language and I like seing different interpretations of the same character, so why not?

@Shànwàng: I knew it was an insult.

See, if you knew it was an insult, what else was there to clarify/explain?

What was so wrong about liking the show, plus I wasn't completely sure. And you already clarified the one aspect that was the focus of your "my inmersion", so thanks.

Beyond "liking a show created and intended for 5-8 year old girls", "liking a show thats animation is average at best", "liking a show thats storyline is severely below average (see me) at best", "liking characters with no depth and very little development" [all points you've probably been confronted with already] there's not much else *that I can think of off the top of my head at 5 AM. Carry on being a barely functional member of society, I guess...

I'm no rabid fan, for starters. Also:
-True.
-True.
-"True", only the first two episodes of the first season follow a semblance of an overaching plot, a pretty average one at that, but the rest of the show is more in the line of slice-of-life shows.
-True, but I consider them to be likeable enough, they're the reason I watch the show.

Also, you're making the mistake of thinking this is the only show I watch. See, "brony" just means liking the show, not giving your life and sacrificing everything that makes you a member of society for it, and that applies to any fandom.

Edit:
Yoshiya, out of curiosity, how many episodes have you seen?

Your points are based on subjective opinion. Except maybe the first one, which is half-truth: it was created with intent to entertain 5-8 year old girls and their parents (and so was every famous Disney movie). Anyways, shit argument. You could keep going for hours, and the only thing that would ever be proven is that you think you're right to yourself.

Objective statistical point: There are a ton of legitimate fans for this show, a great many of them are animation fans in general as well. There wouldn't be such a fandom if the show actually sucked as much as you imply, therefor it is clearly more rational to conclude that you don't know what you're talking about.

I suppose the same argument could be used in support of the Twilight books, but I'm not denying it. As much as I dislike them, it did something right, and it would be pants-on-head retarded to pretend it did not. If you dislike something enough to go on a forum and argue your dislike, "functional member of society" is not a favourable angle to bring up either.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

I don't know that Rainbow Dash was much of a jerk... maybe in comparison to what we might expect of cute colourful ponies, but that doesn't really say anything. Her antics paint her as a fairly straight-forward and entertaining pony.

I was offput by the fact that she completely missed the point of wanting to have a pet. I suppose I wasn't surprised that she did, but her doing so still touched a nerve. She made this "I want a pet" all about herself and not the actual animal, despite the big triathlon thing she put them all through. She was always still out front though, taking the attention. It was always "i need something as cool as me" and not "I need something I find cool".

Even Twilight said "I don't think she gets the point", and I am glad that she finally did at the end, but only after putting all those animals through tons of bullshit, almost getting some of them killed.

The falcon seemed appropriate. Because they both left each other while the other one suffered.

Wasn't "brony" a general term to denote male fans of MLP regardless of their fanboyism?
