The second update for the MLP music archive is up!
It all now totals 11.4GB (398MB added on)

You know how many seasons do you think they are going to make?
We know for certain there's going to be a season 3; after season 3 the show will reach syndication meaning that they're more than likely going to make a season 4. It's possible that it'll reach season 5, or that they'll make a parallel series?
If I had to take a guess the most likely situations will be either a sequel, then a spin-off, then a prequel. It's possible that down the line the CMC and other fillies & spike will become main characters as they grow up and the mane 6 achieving their dreams.

I'd have to guess around 5 seasons as most likely, 6+ if the show becomes even more popular once it reaches syndication.

Oh man, it's looking more like alicorns are specifically a mutation solely in the royal family in the mlp universe.

Leon, another alicorn was revealed.
So now it's Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Leon.

The best guess I have is that since the last episode of season two will be the grand galloping gala as well, and we keep seeing pictures of Cadence in a wedding dress, I'm guessing that the last episode of the season is when we finally get to see Cadence. Seeing as how crappy the last gala was I doubt the mane 6 would go back unless there was a big reason too, in this case cadence getting married.

Where did you get such information? I've never heard of Cadence or Leon.

Eventually Japan will make a MLP:Z. It will suck, but probably still be better than at least a few of the old MLP generations.

Anyways, I doubt any of that will happen. The show doesn't set itself up for spin-off series', because it can just throw an episode that does that as is. They will probably just ride this pony for as many seasons as they can. Eventually there will be a Gen 5, and it will probably be a huge step down in quality.

Cadence. I don't really give a damn who Cadence is. I care more about what type of conflict they bring to the episode. I'd rather see Lyra sitting awkwardly in the background again, than meet a new princess pony. But here's my prediction of the season 2 final episode: Rarity will discover the problem behind her dream of marrying a prince, and achieve her dream and self-realization at the same time by marrying Cadence. The others all express their support of Rarity's life choice while staring at Rainbow Dash the whole time; it will end with Rainbow Dash totally oblivious to how they all think she's gay too.

If not, there's probably a fanfic just like that already.

They keep making a ton of cadence toys and that, but nopony knows if she's going to actually show up or if she's just another toy for sales. Given the amount of stuff they are making it wouldn't surprise me if she showed up. As for Leon they released him a story magazine, but nobody has any clue if he's canon or not.

Yeah that's possible.
Than again alot of ponies were saying that season 2 was going to suck as well, and we were proven wrong.

nopony

I'm trying to figure out why pony talk ("nopony", "everypony") doesn't bother me, but furry talk ("everyfur") makes me cringe?

Maybe it's because furries who talk like that have a tendency to talk about "pawing off" in the next sentence? Or how pony talk is tactfully restricted to pony-specific conversations in general? Or maybe it's use in an established fictional world is just a better, and less embarrassing, base for it to take off from?

Regardless, it's amusing, so long as it isn't used embarrassingly outside of pony discussions.

You know I just noticed that for me as well.

It could be as well that bronies don't abuse it to death, unlike furries.

Sergal ponies are best ponies

Candy-colored things that are ugly as sin. Of course a furry drew it!

Also, I just realized whenever I read "nopony/everypony" I picture when Twilight says them. That's certainly hard to dislike.

The former is backed by professional voice acting

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

One of the brony music makers (I believe it was Alex S) made a facebook announcement telling everyone to stop using everypony in conversations.

He got quite a response; either people didn't use it anyways or they didn't care what he thought (And continued to use it)

 

[CannonFodder]

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

Derpy made a appearance in a newspaper :3

Also Cadence and Shining armor are going to become officially canon this fall.
If there is going to be a movie I'm going to freak out(in a good way).

Now if only popular bronies told people to not make rule34 of the show.

I`m really pretty disappointed that this happened. Everywhere I go, I have to keep watching out for spoilers.

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

I'm going to wait for Saturday and watch this episode AFTER it is aired on TV...





That's what I told myself. And then I watched the new episode this morning. I have really bad self control.
But I will say without trying to spoil anything that there's something that happens in the background at one time that is down right adorable. Then again, in MLP, that shouldn't be shocking/spoilerish.

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

I started watching it some weeks ago, because I didn't understand why everyone seems to love this show... and I must say it's awesome. It's cute and funny at the same time! It's addicting! xD
It's a shame I'm Italian, and the Italian dubbing kinda sucks. But ehy, I watch it with the original dub.

Welcome to the herd.
Yeah it's kinda sad that the dubs in other languages aren't as good, atleast they don't change the gender for the characters in italian as far as I know.
In one language dub spike is a girl, which makes how spike likes rarity... odder and spitfire is a guy in another language, which is even weirder.

I see and well, it's... weird, really. Maybe I shouldn't complain this much, so. ^^"

You're not the only one that thinks the dubs need better voices acting.

If I had to take a guess of what happened is that hasbro didn't forsee how popular the show was going to become and once the popularity exploded they were caught scrambling trying to get voice actors for other languages that they never thought they'd need in the firstplace.

At least the Italian opening theme is really good.

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

Would it be better with subtitles, by any chance?
That way you'd keep the original voices and gender. It may not be best for the intended audience, but what do you think?

Subs and dubs have their places.
In my opinion dubs are for whenever you are just semi-paying attention and are focusing on something else.
Subs are for whenever you are giving it full attention and you can give it your full attention.

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

It warms my heart that the subs vs dubs discussion lives on in my little pony.

But for me, dubs were usually the best way to introduce yourself into a series. (Even crappy ones) Gives you the gist, then the incentive to try the subtitled variations. It is just a shame people so rarely spend the time getting a proper studio to do the work.

* I've only ever read that 13 episodes have been purchased for season 3. TBH. I'm not really sure how much longer the show will go on.
