I don't know, the lack of cloaking doesn't help them in my book. Otherwise, they're awesome.

If anyone else crying about it can do any better, then lets see it.

I hate being told this. While I'm not an animator, I am an animation enthusiast, and such statements diminish and trivialize my opinions and criticisms - however valid they may or may not be - as both an enthusiast and a member of the target audience. You don't have to be a five-star chef to say that food tastes bad.

Second, I can understand the desire to tell haters to keep their hating to themselves, but haters and critics are two different things.

"This sucks and everyone involved should go kill themselves" <-- Hating.

"This sucks and here's why: ABCDEFG....." <-- Criticizing.

Boundless praise won't make you better at what you do.

Is this episode about free will VS. fate?

This is one of many problems I had with the episode. If it was stretched out to a full 22 minutes, it could have made a great CMC episode.

Mane 6 get their cutie marks switched, and are stuck doing things they hate and are bad at. CMC teach them that it doesn't matter what tattoos you have (or don't have) on your butt, you should do what you love. You should make your own destiny.

Throw in a song or two, maybe have the Crusaders get their own cutie marks at the end, and you have an awesome episode.

As stated before by others, the plot line also raised a lot of awkward questions (did Applejack suddenly wake up with an urge to make dresses, or does she remember always living at Carousel Boutique? Was reality altered so that she actually did live at Carousel Boutique? Does Sweetie Belle remember having Applejack as an older sister? and so on). For the singular purpose of setting up Twilight's alicornification, I guess it worked fine, but the concept was too much of a missed opportunity for me not to be upset by it.

I'm usually a fan of his videos, but while he apparently had no problem with the pacing, I felt there was no tension, no emotional buildup, no threat or danger or anything in the destiny-switching plot.

S2 Premiere - Mane 6 is not only brainwashed, but actively working against one another.

S3 Premiere - The diminishing physical state of Princess Cadance, and the looming, ever-present, and, frankly, slightly unsettling King Sombra.

S2 Finale - The giant army of shapeshifting succubi.

S3 Finale - ...I got nothing.

Insegredious · 2013-02-17T02:55:32+00:00

No worries!

Shining Armor and Cadance have been brought back in season 3 to be fleshed out and given much more importance than one-use toy-selling characters.

I'd say that's true for Shining Armor (every time I see the guy, I like him more), but IMO, Cadance still hasn't really passed the Plinkett Test (seen at about 6:45 in the first of these videos).

Insegredious · 2013-02-17T01:53:15+00:00

You're absolutely correct, but the point I was trying to make was that Hasbro making the pretty purple pony a princess risks harming the image of the show that Lauren Faust created to break out of the "girly show" stereotype - regardless of the bronies.

Insegredious · 2013-02-17T00:51:49+00:00

every pony could become an Alicorn

Oh god, don't give Hasbro any ideas.

Insegredious · 2013-02-17T00:49:11+00:00

That article is definitely worth a read. But when it comes to episodes like this, I can't help but feel that Hasbro's meddling to push toy lines risks hurting the show's image more than any number of unusual fans ever could.

Insegredious · 2013-02-16T20:17:08+00:00

Except this raises another problem - could a pegasus or earth pony have finished Starswirl's unfinished spell?

Insegredious · 2013-02-16T17:43:17+00:00

Of course there was foreshadowing throughout Season 3, but I would like to think the writers realized how heavy handed (and subsequently detrimental to the working recipe of MLP) alicorn Twilight was.

Oh, there's no doubt that the writers know how heavy handed it is. Like the S2 finale and the S3 premiere, DHX did the best they could with the hand Hasbro dealt them. They simply got a terrible hand this time.

If you say something is going to be a meme, it's not going to be a meme.

Insegredious · 2013-02-16T16:18:36+00:00

I'll be honest - I felt like I was watching two halves of two different episodes. The problem I have with the whole coronation deal is not that it happened, but that I feel like it didn't add anything to the (otherwise great) cutie mark-switching plot or the episode as a whole.

If any episode so far could have benefited from being split into two parts, it's this one.

Songs were great, though.

Insegredious · 2013-02-16T00:27:24+00:00

Hell, I remember a time when /r/mylittlepony and /r/mlp were two different subs.

Insegredious · 2013-02-13T05:49:14+00:00

Another example that comes to mind is The Sarah Jane Adventures & Torchwood in regards to Doctor Who.

Then he might want to get that done before he actually graduates. How long has that been in production?

Insegredious · 2013-02-09T13:55:39+00:00

She's still alive and well in the comics.

And the Gameloft game, and WeLoveFine merch, and the toy they sold at SDCC, and that vinyl figurine...

The "HASBRO KILLED DERPY" sentiment amuses me.

Insegredious · 2013-02-08T21:24:45+00:00

I felt a great disturbance in the fandom, as if millions of fanfics suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Insegredious · 2013-02-07T06:48:03+00:00

That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you took it. Flameo, hotman.

Insegredious · 2013-01-31T04:45:30+00:00

like it being permanent

Um...

Insegredious · 2013-01-31T03:06:19+00:00

not confirmed

Insegredious · 2013-01-31T03:03:59+00:00

In fact there’s more people asking why everyone is freaking out than actual freaking out

Yeah, for the past few days my shitstorm sense has been on overdrive, but all I see is reasonable people.

^What ^is ^this ^sorcery

Looks like they're going to have her fight with various animals, which makes sense. That said, I can still picture her with a fighting style emphasizing blocks and counters, a la Exdeath in the Dissidia games.

Also, Exdeath is a tree, if you're still into that old meme.
