What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thread)

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

You know, it's strange. I actually got into MLP because a clanmate ended up running up to me and saying "Dude, you know those My Little Pony fans that crawl around on the internet? Turns out, they're not being ironic by claiming the show is actually good. It actually is a good show. Watch the pilot". So I ended up watching the first part of the pilot and found myself interested enough to want to know what happens in the next episode. The rest is history, but even looking back on it now, I don't think that the pilot was THAT bad.

True, most pilot episodes for shows are complete garbage. There are some that can pull it off and I consider MLP to be one of them for someone who isn't interested solely from the hype the fandom has brought. The episode itself, in my opinion, was well constructed and didn't leave the viewer bored for the most part.

That being said, I must say that I think the 2004 Battlestar Galactica TV pilot is the best pilot of all time.

I don't mean to interupt, but I think I'm officially a brony now. Remember all that stuff of me saying that I hate the show, yeah I lied, I never really watched an episode until just recently.

I vote the new "Smile" song to be the best song of the series. I think it's catchier than "Winter Wrap Up", and I like the message of it. I literally cannot watch it and not smile throughout the whole thing.

It needs to go on my iPOD so I can listen to it at work whenever I remember that I fucking hate the shit out of my shitty ass job.

WELCOME TO THE HERD!

Fads and hype can get annoying, we all understand, don't you worry. It's also nice that you got over your prejudices.

Don't worry, eating hay fries is much tastier then eating crow.

Why would I want to eat my favorite character from MST3K?

But anyways, am I the only one who thought Swarm of the Century highly resembled the Star Trek episode The Trouble with Tribbles?

Ha XD Very nicely done. Though come on, CamBot is where it's at.

Yes, they are tribbles with wings. Which makes them awesome. :3

It was "Sonic Rainboom" for me.

I became a fan as early as Applebuck Season.

They did change derpy and remove her name-
[YT]X2CRjPO73Dg#![/YT]
The DVD doesn't have her name changed, but they did underp her eyes.
And now it sounds like she's a stereotypical dumb blond. Thanks hasbro, you replaced her from a clumsy pony that can't help it with a fucking stereotype just cause someone finds lazy eyes offensive. Hell why not go for broke and remove rainbow from rainbow dash's name and changer her mane while you're at it cause people think she's a lesbian. Having a lazy eye doesn't make someone retarded, it gives the person double vision and with how derped her eyes were being accident prone is very likely. Depth perception is there for a reason and without it good luck trying to avoid things. Try looking at two things to the point your eyes are focusing on two different things and try and walk around normally. Does having a lazy eye make a person automatically retarded? No. But congratulations on removing any doubt by people thinking she was by replacing a eye condition with a dumb blond stereotype.

Excuse me a second while I go get my combustible lemons.

I swear to god, every time I go to post something somewhere, the post above me beats me to it. FFFFFFFFF-

This is ridiculous. Hasbro said that they weren't going to change the episode, or at least very much of it. Sure, changing the voice, we saw that one coming, but removing Derpy's name completely? That's uncalled for.
And no matter how worked up I am about it, the best thing to do right now is to just sit and wait. Because if we start sending emails to Hasbro telling them to change it back, they might just get sick of us completely and not embrace the amazing opportunity they have to make money off of us.

Yeah, Im pretty pissed too. Im about to go Menegle on so
e cunt twats. It isnt about the ponies, its the fact that by changing his scene, theyve given in to hateful people. It's also worse. Now she's a dumb blonde instead of clumsy.

Yeah way to go hasbro, great message telling blond little girls they're automatically stupid.

Correction it's not Hasbro's fault, it's Itunes fault.
Itunes would not upload the episode without the changes and the removal of her name.

The only difference for the dvd is that her eyes were underped cause of the bitching from itunes(don't ask me doesn't make sense to me either, I guess they were going to change her eyes on itunes as well, but thought the underping and removal of her name was enough), other than that she is intact. Also future episodes she will remain as she was before, the same old derped pony. It was just Itunes being a douchebag.

Tl:dr; fuck itunes with a sawblade.

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

The really scary point this brings up. How much creative control are people giving up to sell on Itunes? Cause almost every show goes on it at some point. Imagine, some day in the future, the winner of say um... I dunno, Wheel of Fortune. Well it is discovered he kicks puppies. Itunes digitally edits it to where the pope wins.

Apparently a ungodly amount.

I can understand why hasbro sells the episodes on itunes considering how popular Itunes is, but since how popular Itunes is they can demand companies bends over backwards to appease them.

You know what's worse? The fact that with how much Itunes can outright demand their way or the highway they could pretty much turn the show into the blandness that was generation 3.5.
Itunes could demand hasbro changes rainbow dash be changed as well cause of how people think she's a lesbian.
Itunes could demand hasbro erases zecora calling her a black stereotype. Think about it for a second, sure it's one hell of a stretch, but itunes could say she's a black native african stereotype. Afterall she lives in a hut and practices potions aka witchcraft.
Itunes could demand pinkie be toned down calling her exxuberance a mental problem.
Etc.

If they keep doing this shit by season five we'll be left with extremely toned down bland ponies with no personality meant not to offend anyone.

And now we wait patiently for tomorrow when several million bronies discover who is at fault and flood/attack/rape Itunes support systems and forums.

Still, it isn't very loving and tolerating of us.

I'm just glad the original Derpy is going to be on the DVD.

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

Is there proof that it's iTunes? I haven't seen any at all, just speculation.

Either way, I disapprove of what was done and support voicing our disapproval. Bronies should just remember that disapproval is a fully acceptable response (that may produce results), while outrage and hate will not (or it will only succeed for all the wrong reasons).

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

On the issue on Derpy whether she'll have the same Derp face expression and stuff. As an animator of the show, rest assured, she'll be fine. The show will still go on and I hope you will continue to support the show. Though Derpy is a great character, she is not essentially the reason why the show is awesome (though she is one of the Reasons). If Derpy never existed on that fateful scene in the first episode, would MLP be a bad show? Remember MLP is a great show because for what it is. I didn't know about Derpy until someone from the Studio pointed it out. I hope you'll still enjoy the show no matter what happens.

Well, that's good. YOu can find the large letter http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/look-into-derpy-from-kreoss.html#more <= there

Some of the email is worth reading, Bronies. Specifically the parts where he says to stop bitching at people who have no blame in this and to be professional with your complaints. It's the Internet, so that doesn't happen often, and that's sad.

Well, seeing as iTunes took the episode down, and put back up an edited version... Plus the fact that they're the ONLY people who will be releasing an edited version...
