"Hey, may as well start at the beginning."
One thing though...
why is it that some things just seem... in the wrong place?
Like Rainbow's wings?
Don't them animators pay attention?
Just the first five of season one.

A prime example of this was season 1 simpsons, my god did the animation for season 1 suck. There's actually a terminology for this, I can't remember what it is though.
In all fairness alot of cartoons have problems with animation in the first season and as time goes on the quality of animation goes up.

I find it funny that when I search up 'Season 1 animation flaws' it comes up with the MLP ones.

Of course it won't be for you if you only stop at 3 episodes. You have around 44 more episodes left to watch, and then it will all make sense. You will have to marathon them tonight, for full effect, so you better get started! :V

There's actually a pro football team behind me, reading all this. I can hear grumbles, and "that guy needs to man-up and watch some more goddamn ponies" under their breaths.
Oh yup, they just hollered "WOO! FUCK YEAH PINKIE PIE!" as I'm typing this. So there you go.

We've seen dragons act like...dragons in the series. On one hand, I can say "Dragons in the MLP universe aren't exactly nice" on the other, I can say "We haven't seen enough examples of dragons to call our insight perfect". Three instances doesn't mean much. And evenso, seeing what teens do doesn't mean anything when I'm interested in how the adults act and what the adults deem important.
By and large, in mythology that I"ve read, dragons aren't exactly social creatures. It's odd seeing them migrate as one unit to one specific spot. I'm guessing they did this to mate, since that makes biological sense.
My question is this: Spike gets bigger and meaner when he collects shit. There are teen dragons; if dragons can/do grow based on their horde, why are their teens? I have a possible answer that basically lies in "perspective", but it might be bullshit. Spike lives with ponies, and masses a small horde. To him, that's a lot of stuff he's never owned, so he gets big. Dragons that live with other dragons amass a horde that's equal size, but they see the big dragons and their huge hordes and go "well this isn't very big" so they become the teen equivalent. Doens't make much biological sense, but neither does "I get huge when I own more stuff"
Sorry. One post was right after I watched the episode, the other was after some brooding. I liked the episode all in all, quite a bit actually. It had some problems though.
Eh, I don't buy that. Since these animals are anthromorphoic, the idea that they do something when young to prepare them for adult hood doesn't stand as well. Kids fuck around and do all sorts of stupid shit when they were little, and all that does is give them fun stories to tell when they are adults. The dragons playing king of the hill, wrestling, or doing cannonballs means zilch. Shit, I did some of those things when I was young, and that didn't prepare me for dick.

^ But if dragons grow based on relative distribution of wealth, why are the big, similarly-sized, and therefore similarly wealthy dragons 'big'? Or rather, what did the 'first' dragon compare his hoard to?
So far as I recall, Spike grew because of and with the greed he felt, rather than what he amassed. The emotions of hoarding rather than the hoard.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr
I was relating the teenage shenanagins, adulthood, and hoards together. Given that teenage dragons fight and mess around with each other, and adult dragons were seen to do the same (knock into each other, breathe fire and roar at each other, there's a lot of dominance stuff happening), I figure that is a very clear part of what the dragons in that universe do. Who knows how solitary they are, considering they live so long, and nap for a hundred years, they may not be too solitary relative to their lifespan. And maybe the only difference between teenage and adult dragons are that teenage dragons can't hold onto their own hoard? (Remember, Spike was already welcome in Ponyville, unlike any other dragon, so swiping things until he was a formidable size would have been easy.) This would motivate teenage dragons to play fight, and shows of strength... anything to build them up to where they can get and hold onto their own hoards.
In terms of anthropomorphizing dragons, the episode related them to gangs and/or teenage cliques. Nothing more to it than that, and it only tells us that whatever dragons are like in that world is the closest allegory for teenage issues, so they played with it. They are mythological monsters, and I wouldn't relate them to human society in any way beyond clever plot convenience.

Finally Spike probably grew up that fast cause he wasn't collecting gems, but everything else.
Or that it takes a while to collect that large of a hoard. It's obvious that ponies in the fashion industry collect jewels. There's numerous dragons and that they can't use magic to find jewels, so they are left finding them the old fashion way. Almost forgot, with that many dragons there'd be competition between each other for jewels. Ponies don't keep enough gems on hand to justify going on a pillaging spree cause it would probably take pillaging a entire country to make a hoard.

Bluh. I didn't like the way the teen dragons acted or the plot devices that got Spike to hang out with them, mostly because those things felt cliche. Other than that, fantastic episode

While it's not as good as the last one *cough* the one that sold for 3k *cough* it's a okay fursuit.

My, surprisingly decent, it even avoids messing gigantically with the proportions and isn't trying to be quadrupedal. I wouldn't mind using that.

Also holy shit, littlekuriboh(yu-gi-oh abridged) is a brony.
Also episode 1 of season 1 4:44 there's a image of nightmare moon in the hourglass. I never noticed that before.
I think the mlp fursuits that follow that are the better ones. From what I've seen the attempts at how do I put it?... trying to turn it into something furry have been nightmare fuel. The people that don't fuck with the proportions and/or keep the proportion changes tasteful have been the best.

That fursuit is decent. I'm not one to judge, since I can't make anything close, but there are plenty of better ponysuits out there.
