MLP:FIM: The show is now ruined forever (or not)

Gentlemen.

This night is what separates us from new Ponies. Here is where we stand. Here is where we fall. Here is where figure out how to avoid conversations about what our favorite TV show is over Thanksgiving dinner in a few weeks.

But we are not alone. For as we wait this glorious new day, the bounty of the internet falls upon us. For nigh is the time of a surprisingly adequate Cityville knock-off, only with Ponies. All the Ponies.

Create-your-own-Ponyville_SMALL.jpg

They cry out for shelter and food and having rubber balls tossed at them. Oh, shall you throw rubber balls at them. And we, we happy few, we band of brothers, shall trade Gameloft IDs and send digital heart-shaped gems to each other this day. And every day. And every 24 hours after that. No, seriously, send me gems you guys I NEED SCOOTALOO OR I WILL KILL THE WORLD.

And oh hey, don't forget about the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic book series. Looking for a first printing of Issue #1? Too late. All 100,000 copies of them have already been ordered and they're going to a second printing. On the other hand, you have your choice of one hundred and seventy-three different covers for Issue #1. Collect them all.

Now once again the rules carried on through the last two threads because they were just that good:

Ground rules continuing in effect:

No questionable art/stories/shipping/etc. We do not condone any sexualizing of the characters. Yes, we know The Internet does it. The Internet does that with everything. If people want to prejudge here based on there, that's their issue, but this thread is to be devoid of such content.

No linking to full episodes, with the exception of The Hub's website which has an episode or two plus a bunch of clips. The full series (including new episodes as they air) is available on iTunes. Season One will be released on DVD in the U.S. soon; If you're not in a country where they offer it there, pester them until they do, I guess. Oh yeah, and seasons one and two are now available to stream at Netflix.

    Just downloaded the pony game for android. Tempted to fire it up at work briefly but I'm irrationally terrified it's going to blare out the theme song or something even with headphones in / sound off.

    No the bigger thing is make sure you say "no" to online notifications because if you don't, it will post EVERYTHING YOU DO IN THE GAME to Facebook.

    Oh also my Gameloft ID is ImAnElkShootMe. PRESENTS!

    I need to find the comic of Applebloom poking Scootaloo until the chickens appear ala Legend of Zelda, but my pony folder is unorganized.

    Oh wow, the game has custom voiceovers and background music lifted from the show. Very nice.

    So here I am. Never really thought I'd end up here.

    My name is Ceno and I really like My Little Pony. I started watching it with my daughter, thought it was clever. Now to heck with the daughter, I'm excited about the season premiere tomorrow and waiting very impatiently for the season sets to come out on blu-ray. Just downloaded the game that hit the app store, and yes, I'm looking for a few miniature figurines to put on my office desk.

    Don't really care about the whole Derpy thing, and I'm not interested in a PonyCon or anything like that. But it turns out I really like the ponies.

    Also, Pinkie Pie is objectively the best pony.

    Sad to say, the game has been experiencing a LOT of glitches. For me personally, I can't get any of my friends to appear in the friends list.

    Oh, and just now a giant rock appeared in the middle of my village that wasn't there before. And they're saying it will cost 16,000 bits to remove it. What the hell, game.

    So what's a good episode to watch to "get" the show? I saw the very first two and they were okay but I didn't feel the need to see any more and apparently that is Not As Things Should Be.

  • RuldarRuldar Registered User regular
    For a couple of season one episodes, Bridle Gossip is a fairly good one I think, Suited for Success as well. I've seen those two recommended as a good intro to the show.

    It's About Time in the second season is probably my personal favorite, but it's fairly late in the show in case you don't want to skip around that much.

    Applebuck Season is a good intro episode, I think.

    A lot of people recommend Dragonshy or Swarm of the Century. My personal recommendations are Sonic Rainboom, Return of Harmony (2 parts), or Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. The latter one has a musical number in it, which might or might not appeal to you but those are a pretty regular part of the show.

    No, seriously, bronies are a fucked-up pack of individuals.

    I like watching the show, but goddamn do people run with something right off a cliff.

    Yeah, I basically put the show down after the first couple of episodes for a couple months until the continuing buzz and fanworks got me to keep going for a few more episodes until it clicked. All the episodes mentioned already are good ones.
    Lesson Zero in season 2 is pretty great as well.

    My walls are plastered in varying printed Equestria Daily articles, the word "BRONY?" written over them in some red substance at seemingly random intervals. Possibly blood; possibly not.

    So I heard this obscure show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is going to start its third season sometime soon. I might watch it, maybe.

    (Still say The Ticket Master is the best episode to start watching with)

    Sounds like the setup to the worst episode of the X-Files.

    It doesn't really work until there's red string connecting all the different articles. That's the key feature.
