TM2 Dinobot Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Is ANYONE ELSE completely and totally obsessed with this show? It's hard to understate how awesome it is. Actual plot and writing! Flawless animation. Great acting. Adult humor! It's like Beast Wars or Animaniacs for Ponies. It seems to be aimed at 5 year old girls and 20-something males. Which, if you think about it, that's a bit creepy. But the 80's version was crap, and rightfully so. This one is just spectacular. Every scene is screen cap worthy. I plowed through the entire thing in 3 days. I will say that the pilot is expectedly weak, but about episode 4 it takes off with a sonic rainboom! (you'll know it when you get there) Anyways, here's the channel I caught them all on. It's on the Hub but if you don't have super cable it's the next best thing.

Smashmaster12 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I love My Little Pony: Frienship is Magic. It's almost taken over my life as much as Minimates have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I demand your man cards. All of you MLP people. Man Cards. Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Seriously, give it a try. Generation 4 of MLP is nothing at all like G2 and G3. G3 was "Oh no, we're out of sprinkles. Let's sing a song!" FiM is more like "How do we get Fluttershy to overcome her fear of dragons before we all get eaten?" *looks at previous sentence* Sigh... *hands in man card* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Another is assimilated by the Ponies. Seriously there's a HUGE thread on this new show over at TFW2005 I know I've been posted on quite a bit. I have watched the show since the beginning myself. First out of simple curiousity, then out of fandom. It's very well made and not really 'girly' despite the show's obvious title/what toyline it's based on. Of course I think I attribute it mainly by whom helped develop it. Lauren Faust, wife and fellow cartoon creator/animator to Craig McCracken whom created a number of shows for Cartoon Network as well as worked on a few others. You know, back when Cartoon Network had cartoons created by their own studios? Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuf Girls, etc, etc... The characters are well written and acted, the stories are pretty good, and the show is well animated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Leaking in from the Thor and EMH threads, the most flawless delivery of a line ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Dangit, for a minute there I thought your were referring to Everyman HYBRID. Ahhhhh! Fandoms folding up on each other again! Head for the hills! Besides, Pinkie Pie being a minion of Loki makes way too much sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I still haven't seen the show, but based on this preview, it looks pretty good. I'm definitely interested to see the magical pony genre deconstructed,and the gritty realism just steps the game up. These aren't your parents' little ponies, that's for sure.

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Crap, didn't even think of that. I don't even LIKE Jem. It's annoying. I just thought the 80's reference was amusing. Someone shut me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
