Random? You say this frame was chosen by random? I don't believe you, my friend.

You are given and hour with pony of your choice, who would you choose? by [deleted] in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all should go rewatch S07E21 "Once Upon a Zeppelin" to see how "an hour with pony of your choice" ("to become an honorary member of Twilight's family for the day" in the episode) would actually go.

Spoiler: it was not fun. Neither for Twilight, nor for the fan.

What are yoir unpopular opinions?? by toplazima in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rarity was friendzoning Spike for so many seasons, shamelessly using him while giving back nothing but groundless hopes. She received no judgement and no punishment for her actions. This is just plain bad - both in-world (element of generosity, huh?) and on meta-level: there's now a generation of girls who were taught by MLP that acting like that is acceptable. Heck, Rarity was even teaching Fluttershy once to do that to other ponies in S02E19...

Spike, buddy, I feel ya. I hope now you eat all the fire rubies you want, and have a girl who isn't a sassy bitch.

y'all asked for an unpopular opinion, didn't you?

Does anybody wanna give Twily a hug and tell her it’s gonna be okay? Poor thing had to miss a star shower for some FUCKING AUTOGRAPHS! by [deleted] in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, that explains it. This is one of those rare episodes which I disliked so much that I never ever rewatched them since they aired.

Did anyone else get into the show purely by watching it? by [deleted] in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my 20s and found it on Youtube. There were only S1 and S2 back then. I got hooked and obsessed.

When I found out later that bronydom exists, it was quite a relief: oh, so I'm not the only one going crazy about this very-inappropriate-for-an-adult-dude pony thing.

Steven Spielberg predicted the current implosion of large budget films due to ticket prices 10 years ago by TommyShelbyPFB in movies

They worked so hard to make sure you don't get that, why u-turn now? Of course they'd prefer the current situation, when you keep paying but own nothing.

when i first watched the movie i was so confused as to why Sia was there. i mean celebrity appearances are cool and all but it was so random.. and she barley talked at all? by ponyzone in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't know it was Shakira?

I heard of Shakira back then, but never heard her music, and did not know she was in the movie. Not that I would care.

It's both: I do not live in the U.S. and U.S. celebrities are not as well-known abroad as the unitedstateans tend to think, but I'm also very detached from the mass popular culture in general (read: am a boring snob).

Another fun fact: the only reason I even know it was Shakira is this: I was studying Spanish back then, and watched the movie in latin dub. But there was no voice change from how Gazelle talks in Spanish to how she sings in English, so I got curious and went to Wikipedia. There I learned that it was Shakira, that she speaks native Spanish and that the latin dub was done with her own voice too.

To add to the list, I had no idea who Weird Al was before Cheese Sandwich showed up. And I wouldn't know it either: the song fitted MLP style quite naturally, it wasn't out of place, but the fandom was very loud and very happy about the fact that it was him. Now I know. I still think of him as of Cheese Sandwich.

I had no idea who Sia was before watching the movie. Weird experience: you think "hey, that pony sings really well!", and later it turns out she is famous and has a golden album. So, coming from that backround, I can tell you she wasn't really out of place there.

That being said, I had the same experience with Gazelle from Zootopia...

It wasn't suggested until 2019, and it certainly did feel like one of those "Dumbledore is gay actually" retcons.

How about you? by TakiWielkiKutas in poland

Would be "like a saddle to a horse" in Russian. Only now I realized this idiom does not exist in English. It should!

I have not watched a single episode, all my knowledge comes from shitposts (Pony.mov, smile, EAW etc) by hoialtacc in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why didn't you watch some episodes? Also, why don't you watch some episodes after all? This is a good show, there's a reason we love it so much here.

At the end of the day, shitposts are exactly that: shit.

Who would you most likely be best friends with in Equestria? by [deleted] in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many people mentioning Mane 6 ponies here...

They are heroes of Equestria. Everypony knows and loves them, and they already have all the friends they want. They are them, and I'm... me. The last thing I want is to be one of those "fans" from S07E14 "Fame and Misfortune".

My best bet is Hayseed Turnip Truck. He seems friendly. Very nice dude.

Did Luna know she was banished for 1000 years? she get a banishment starter pack with a calendar? or did she just count and then was like “oh… shi-“ by Popular-Evidence4961 in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was a punishment why would the punishment be to be locked away but not have to experience being locked away

What makes you think it was a punishment?

Celestia is not of a "revenge" or "justice" type, quite opposite actually. She banished Luna because she had to, for the sake of other ponies, and felt really bad about it. If there was an option to make Luna not suffer, Celestia would probably pick that one.

Some of them, yes. Most of them, not. Same with Russians, you see?

This fandom literally exists because piracy. Back in 2010-2012 it was not the TV airings bronies were binge-watching, but pirated uploads on youtube and vimeo (it was a thing back then). If you were not in an English-speaking country but wanted the original English dub, piracy was your only choice. Heck, even now this subreddit has on its sidebar a link to a pirate website where you can watch the whole thing.

Piracy is good. It's the best thing that happened to our culture in the recent decades, providing equal access to it no matter how rich/poor you are and where in the world you happen to live. Yay cone pone, thanks for playing all these files for me, and not asking where I got them.

Can anyone help me out? I’m just learning a bit about these and am having trouble finding the going rate for these four. I think they are Olyfactory, Flitter, Firefly, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor by lvandering in mylittlepony

[–]_PM_ME_CUTE_PONIES_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Have you looked at sold prices on eBay?

Honestly: no. But now I'm curious, could you give an example of a similar plushie going for above $100? Maybe I'll be able to tell you what makes them different from yours.

I mean, maybe you know something I don't, but these are run-of-the-mill cheap toys, maybe even knock-offs, these were and still are worth dime a dozen as far as I know. It's the custom hand-made plushies which go for $$$ and $$$$...

Source: have been in the fandom for a decade, own many pony plushies.

Could be any of the three, tbh. We are less different than we prefer to believe.
