My Little Pony: Resistance is Futile
It truly is futile, the difference between bronies and other fandoms is that other fandoms when they were growing went, "It's going to be ruined if it becomes popular" stunting their own growth; whereas bronies go, "another one to the herd? HELL YEAH!"

There's usually some malice in calling someone a troll (unfair, I know), but parasprites are cute little bug things. Saying "Now now, don't feed the parasprites." in a motherly tone is just more fitting for a brony than "OMFGBBQ.QTROLL!"

That's my take anyways.
I can see that side of the argument.

However, fandoms that insert their lingo into places where it need not be inserted become annoying quickly. Or have a higher chance of becoming annoying quickly. It's like when furfags go "so I was pawing off" or something equally stupid.

I was expecting the letter to Celestia to read:

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned that you can take some of the lies you tell to the grave.

Yours truly,
Rarity"

I really liked todays episode. I found the problem of the episode to be a real problem that many people can relate to on some level, and it felt very complex for a kids show plotline. It also fit in perfectly with Rarity's character.

The song was pretty nice to, though not the best one out there. But, I liked it.

The ending was a bit surprising though. She got away with most of her bullshit, and ended up profiting on it actually. I kinda figured something worse would happen, but since the episode needed to end...I suppose they couldn't have gone on with Rarity being ashamed of her friends (because she was for a bit there), and her friends being royally pissed off at her for it (and rightfully so).

I thought it was a well written and paced episode though. I like that Rarity showed some of her more negative qualities, and then got away with doing so. Things like that make the characters feel developed.

Hey everyone, pony fanatic here :p Won't go into details for now, so to post a short version of how I see things: Every once in a while, something very cool gets created and posted on the internet. If it's good enough, it becomes extremely popular and drives a lot of users crazy about it. One well known example is MineCraft. Second internet blast after that is MLP-FiM discussed here. The third one which seems to be coming is about Skyrim, which I haven't tried yet. But yeah, such happens, and I personally like it and it makes me love the internet even more :) Even if you're not into MLP or something that gets explosively popular, it's never the less important to keep an open mind. eg: NOT how some people on FA reacted when FurAffinity had a MLP banner for a week a few months ago, which was embarrassing to say the least.

I am definitely agreeing with this, except for the Skyrim thing. I don't think it will become anywhere near as big of a fandom as MLP.

RAIN-BO-DAH!

But yeah, Skyrim still seems pretty cool. Even though I've never played it.

That was a very nice song for the episode.

I find it interesting how it stereotypes the rich as snobby and self important.

I was at a jewelry store today trying to help my dad pick something out for my mom for xmas. We ran into these watches that were pretty cool, but they didn't tell time. The face was completely black and there were no numbers or anything like that. You could estimate, but you couldn't tell time. They ranged from 1k to 3k bucks.

So...I can see why the stereotype gets perpetuated.

Ya gotta feel pretty fucking self important to go blow three thousand dollars on a watch that won't help you tell time.

At least, that's what I think of it.

I'd just go with stupid but I guess self important would fit as well.

Also, there's needs to be a Ponyville game for Facebook. They already have Castleville, Farmville, and Cityville. Why the fuck not Ponyville?

Damn it, large ("Fashion Style"?) Luna toy,
why do you only come in packages with "child" Celestia? I don't give a shit about "child" Celestia.
It's going to take me $30, if I want to buy you.
The other large ponies are $11.
Stop being so expensive, or be a single-pony set, please.

Nigga, Luna ain't shit. Solar Empire fo' Lyfe! :VVVV



I didn't like today's episode. It felt kinda cheap the way Rarity got to get off scot-free. Ugh, and I hate snobby rich people.

Yeah. She never really got called out on the whole "lying-out-her-ass-to-everyone" thing. It just kind of turned out that she was worrying about nothing and everything was OK.

I asked this very same question to someone who I consider to not exist anymore. He told me it was like a Utopia, with each of his friends fulfilling a certain character's role (the hardworking one, the vain one, the smart one, the silly one, etc.). He proceeded to link me to the episode that deals with Zekora (along with Pinkie Pie singing her famous "she's an evil enchantress" gig). I was surprised at how progressive a kid's show could be. Now, I'm no brony by any means, but I can kinda understand why people like it so much.

I loved the new Rarity episode. I can't quite put my finger on why. It didn't really have any notable humour. I think it was just how well Rarity was handled. She didn't reach levels of obnoxiousness in what she did, even though the situation would have gone that way in any other tv show. She lied, but the episode wasn't/didn't need to be heavy-handed about it; she was only causing more problems for herself, and the lies wound up being futile in the end anyways.

Rarity is not my favourite character at all, but I really enjoy how her flaws and strengths intertwine so well. And her VA's are probably the best of the show.
 
Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

I enjoyed the episode, but yeah, her getting off without getting caught for lying did kind of annoy me. But I`m willing to overlook it because of the SONG. ANOTHER SONG. VICTORY.

I'm really fucking tired of the Mane 6 having to prove themselve to ponies ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Seriously.


[Fucking loser not-savior-of-the-fucking-world snob pony]: "Who are you?"

[Rarity]: "I am Rarity."

[Flnsotfwsp]: "I've never heard of you. BEGONE PEASANT!"

We only ever see the mane 6, and a few others. For all we know everyone has saved the world in some way once or twice.

Rarity's lying was only effectively stressing herself out, it didn't have any negative impact on anyone else. She didn't need to be called out on it for any reason, and the stress of bothering to lie at all cast it in a negative light on it's own. I felt it was a smarter way of handling it.
