Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

I loved the last two episodes.
However, I think it would have been fantastically better if the Games Ponies Play came first followed by Just for Sidekicks.
It would have been hilarious to see Spike, the pets, and the CMC thee at the end of the episode with absolutely no idea how it came to be.

I made my sister watch it like that and it was hilarious.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!"

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

I thought they might allude to Twilight becoming an alicorn next week, but the whole Spike/CMC thing totally made up for it.

That episode was brilliant.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

I'm guessing that the Equestria Games won't be in Magical Mystery Cure, but I hope that we get a Season 4 episode with it. I do love it when they have stories which go over multiple episodes.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Yeah the recent episode was pretty good. Who else noticed the switching cutie marks?

Talk about unintentional foreshadowing.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

I quite liked the switcheroo thing they pulled off, although I agree with Squid on the order. Personally I don't care if Twilight becomes an Alicorn. It opens up way more possibilities for the show (although I'm pretty certain it's not going to be permanent). Worst case scenario would be if she moves to Canterlot and we got a replacement Twilight mini/lol .

@Walter Benson Yeah I noticed that to. I think it's because they re-use assets of previous episodes (although I'm very inexperienced in Flash, so I don't know). But whatever. There are tons of silly glitches in episodes, and it's find to find them in my opinion (although some can be quite horrifying).

Does anybody also know why there is an absence of background Derpy this season? Maybe I'm just blind, but I can't really find her.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Derpy got removed because some soccer mums got riled up and complained she was offensive to disabled people.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

According to this video her model still seems to be used as a background pony. However she is usually so obscured it's almost the equivalent of not seeing her at all.

Heck I don't even know if some of those were her to begin with, but the one in Magic Duel certainly looked like her.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Derpy's appearances remain occasional after the controversy in Season 2, however, they seem gone in season 3, since I'm assuming that's around the time they were doing that.

She's still sort of there, but as an extra background pony, and very, very hard to spot. Her placement looks to be as if it's not even meant to be there as an egg, just an extra pony.

I doubt that she will properly return any time soon.
I hate to sound pessimistic, but it really looks to me like the Derpy we love is gone.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

As of season 3, she's gone for good. After the (ridiculous) controversy when she got a speaking role in "The Last Roundup", Hasbro originally ordered for her to be completely whitewashed from the series. Forward and backward. Meaning, rereleasing ALL the episodes she'd made an appearance in with her removed. Thankfully DHX talked them down from this. She was going to have a proper role and a larger part in the season 2 finale and season 3 respectively, but that was nixed.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Well, it's not like she actually did anything in the show. The main reason I like her as a character is because of the fanon developed by the bronies themselves. Without that she would essentially be "LOL derpy pony is adoraburu" and that's all.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

I really loved Derpy, having a game of spotting her in the episodes was quite fun.
Though, the show will still be great without her, I just wish something could be done about people thinking everything is offensive.

Twilight's getting a new voice actor.

I'd like to say that this is a spin off, and it will likely not affect the primary show itself.  Therefore, there is no chance of it ruining anything if it is bad.

I really do hope that those human images are either very rough concepts or completely fake.  They looks absolutely horrid.  Nope nope nope.

I'd probably be okay if the humans looked really nice, I've seen good humanized ponies before, and they can look alright.  Having the skin match the coat, though is just odd.  It makes them look more like aliens.

I'm going to wait until some new developments come into light, but if those are the final designs, I have very low expectations for it.  Because it comes in Spring, we won't have to wait long to find out more.

Still, I think that it may be possible to be a good show, so long as the designs aren't that.  I'll wait and see.
And, of course, I will watch it no matter what.

I feel like the Hasbro executives are reading way too many fanfics...

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

When imagining a MLP spin-off, I think more along the lines of a show which takes place in some other part of Equestria, perhaps Manehattan, just with a bunch of fresh characters.
