    I am glad SE likes this show actually, all the shipping and shit in /co/ is way too creepy

    I prefer an MLP conversation with less talk of *shudders* ..."candy vag"

    There's also a wiki that has a catalog of background characters and their fan nicknames. The most famous of these is Derpy Hooves.

    Hee hee, this is delightful.

    Ok that's pretty awesome. Especially since it beat out Big Time Rush, which I see all my cousins watching all the time.

    Also, most of the posts in this thread are gold and it's hard holding in my laughter at work.

He’s also one of only two legacy characters in the series, thanks to Hasbro losing the licenses to the old ponies. The other one is... [...] Applejack:
    I might just be misreading this, but aren't Princess Celestia, Princess Twilight, and Nitemare Moon also "Legacy"? I don't really know what that means either, it means they were in the original shows, right? :oops:

    Twilight Sparkle is loosely based on Twilight from the original series, and Rainbow Dash is likewise based on Firefly from the first MLP series. I think Princess Celestia is new, though, as I'm fairly certain there's never been a combination pegasus/unicorn pony before.

    This show is way too fucking saccharine for me to get through. I acknowledge that the production values are good though. I'd rather see more Foster's.

    Sabre, did you trade the happy meal ponies back if you got one your nieces already had? Is that still the custom? I haven't needed to collect happy meal toys since beanie babies were a thing.

    Don't know if they do that. What I did instead was go to the McDonalds, see which ones they had in stock, and then buy the ones we didn't already have directly, without the meal around it. Much faster that way.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    Sabre's frequent posting of various MLP gifs and now this thread finally prompted me to watch a bit of it

    It's very charming.

    I'll probably watch the second half of the pilot tomorrow, which I didn't expect when I clicked play.

    After watching the pilot I think they could've gotten more "grown-up friendly" storylines out of keeping Nightmare Moon as an antagonist.

    True, and that was probably the intent, but I remember hearing that Hasbro wasn't down for an ongoing storyline for this particular IP.

    Their loss, I suppose.

    Really? MLP? The designs are cute but I couldn't really get through the pilot. It wasn't bad but I didn't find it very interesting or funny. Is there another episode worth watching?

    the pilot is easily the worst part so far, for what it's worth

    it largely represents the direction the show was originally supposed to take

    a sort of "sailor pony" thing that they thankfully abandoned

    swarm of the century is probably the best episode of any cartoon I've seen in quite some time

    stupid grin on my face for a solid 22 minutes
    Not for best episode, but a favorite scene of mine is

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7PGKcikaGY

    i saw this episode as a blah blah racism episode, but this song saved it and made me watch the whole episode again with a better attitude

    So I broke down and watched an episode, Swarm of the Century as per TDOT's suggestion

    Eh, it was okay?

    I wasn't really interested in any of the characters. The animation was really nice but most of the gags fell flat.

    I liked Pinkie Pie, though.

    I'm fairly sure she's new to this series too. By being able to use Applejack and Spike, they could use the same name and the same design (more or less). All of the other characters could use aspects of the originals, but not the same names.

    I didn't care for Swarm of the Century either. Look Before You Sleep is probably my favorite so far.
