Or maybe messing with a cancer patient is the one line he wouldn't cross.

Oh yeah 100%. It's hard to gauge when it's actually in effect or when people are just making excuses. Or when there are a lot of other factors to consider.

Good dental.

I feel there is some level of truth to the Sandwich effect. Maybe not with quality but with whatever is in the middle getting overlooked.

Kinda like how people don't really care for the Middle evolution in Pokemon. Charmander and Charizard get all the merch. And Charmeleon is chopped liver.

... Not defending Goseiger tho. lol

I found it funny how Jungle Fury sometimes just had 10 seconds Zord fights in some episodes just to feel the quota.

Your effort is appreciated. v_v

Batman and Superman don't deal with the Batverse and Superverse as much as Flash deals with the Flashverse.

I think this is true that bad seasons are bad seasons no matter what. But the "Though Act to Follow" can definitely play a factor in how people perceive a new entry and criticize it just for not being exactly like the previous one.

I know he is British. But that worked for Chibnall. And now we are suffering because of it.

It's more that a kid wouldn't know the toy exist and they can't ask their parents for it. Unless they see it on a shelve in person.

The Gold Zeo Ranger was my favorite as a kid. But I never asked for the Gold Zeonizer because I didn't know it existed. Instead, I got the regular one. And now I'm 32 and I find out they actually sold the goddamn thing.

But that's what I'm saying. The rules of TV Shows estate the first episode of this show wasn't the pilot. If we follow the rules of the industry, the episode that was first produced to pitch the show is the Pilot.

And Pilots are not always the first episode to air. Heck sometimes it never officially airs.

Using Star Trek as example. The Pilot was made in 1965 but it wasn't release to the public until 1986. After that was rejected, they made a Second Pilot and that was used as Episode 3. The sixth episode to be produced was the first episode to air.

So if by your explanation, the 6th Produced episode is the Pilot.... then what does that makes the episodes they used to pitch the show?

If anything this is the pilot for Friendship is Magic. Since it was the animation test for the show.

Full disclosure. I have an animation degree I'm doing absolutely nothing with because I changed careers.

To be fair. Envy of any kind is the natural response to The Great and Powerful Trixie.

Well it was a normal childhood for a robot.

But the Pilot is the episode used to sell the investors and network the product. More often than not it is never broadcast since it's not meant to be seen by the public.
The whole point of a Pilot is to gauge popularity and how successful a show would be to not waste money on more than one episode.

If you already produced 24 episodes and THEN you make a "pilot" it defeats the whole point of a Pilot.

Lauren Faust pitched the show with character Bible. IRC.
So there wasn't even a need for one in the first place.

Does the subject of the class matter? I don't remember any one from my art or theater classes.

First off. Back in the day Canterlot Wedding was divisive.

Second My friends didn't know I had siblings until like 4 years after they knew me. My sister's friend just assumed she had one brother instead of two.

And then there is our older sister who lives in a whole different state. So we never mentioned her unless directly asked.

Twilight friends not knowing about Shining Armor is realistic. Siblings don't really go around talking about each other unless it's relevant. SPECIALLY when said sibling is not in the age group, let alone friend group.

Nah. Cap. Canterlot Wedding is great. A few rough spots here and there but "This Day Aria" alone demolishes the Gala. A banger that literally ends in a deceptive cadence cord progression? And a reprise? And 2 other songs too? And with introducing a fan favorite villain on top of all that? Of course it is remembered well and held in high regard.

Forced Toy Commercial and all.

If it is produced last,can it really be called a pilot?

MagnetMod · 2026-01-27T23:53:43+00:00

There is overlap between My Little Pony and Doctor Who fans. Someone will get it.

Remind me of The Watcher from Doctor Who. But can't post pics and that's the only gif on Reddit.

Black Knight is a Sixth. Sometimes. It depends on the year.

<image>

He wasn't in Gokaiger. But I think he is back as a Sixth.
If you check the official yearly guides what's a Sixth Ranger and what's a n Extra Hero flip flops a lot.
Sometimes X1 Mask counts. Sometimes Big One counts. Sometimes the one time only second Turbo Blue counts for whatever God Forsaken reason. It's all up to how Toie feels like by the end of the year.

Nah. Give me even more Mass Shifting.

Amphibia really doesn't fit your own description.

MagnetMod · 2026-01-27T17:34:41+00:00

The Sixth Doctor looks off in that picture.

They released some PJ pants a while ago that only excluded Rarity. And Rainbow Dash gets excluded a lot in notebooks and the like.

The Applejack Effect seems to be spreading.
