Pony Corral / Newish variant of "Rainbow" by Sia

I have to say this version is quite a bit better than Sia's release. Initially I thought it was just tweaked audio but it's pretty clear the effort was put in to make it a cover song. Despite the incorrect lyric that uses "face" over "pain" (which is understandable given the original lyrics can be easy to misinterpret). It has an almost techno-like and kid friendly feel to it. Apparently it was released a year after the movie came out and they have other songs they did covers for. It's like the version I didn't know I needed.  :biggrin:

So apparently there was some sort of update to the site and that seems to have affected my ability to stay logged in on this site? When I first attempt it, I get "Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again." but the 2nd time I get in, but only while I stay on the site.  :blink:

Off Topic / Favorite Powerpuff Girls Show?
« on: August 09, 2021, 08:55:11 AM »
Got through watching just about everything for the first time and here's my thoughts:
The 1998 version is the best of all. Great twists, great humor, great everything really. I couldn't for the life of me predict what was going to happen based on the story titles (and that's the way it should be). The shorts are about as good as the 1998 version itself. I relate to all 3 of the girls and it seems the single full episodes are the most entertaining for me. Criss-Cross Crisis was both really weird because of where the voices were coming from but also really funny, especially when The Professor was trying to fix things. There were a few stories that weren't as good like Paste Makes Waste but that happens in just about every cartoon. The movie was fantastic and I highly recommend starting with it if you're going to get into the series as it came first in terms of story.

The reboot, while not as entertaining, it's not that far below the original for me. I just can't really see much of a reason to hate it but apparently it bombed in the ratings. It has a lot of great faces throughout and much of the villains from the original show return. I feel Buttercup saying "Don't call me princess!" is a line the original would've said too. Manboy was kinda disturbing though but at least there were also new villains. The intro and outros are pretty catchy too. Love the little animation that plays during the outro.

Powerpuff Girls Z really doesn't compare. It may be more faithful to the original show but it falls pretty flat with me. The girls end up making up excuses to leave class instead of flat out telling the teacher they have to save the world. Even when trying to save the world, they don't seem to do much other than use whatever objects they've become associated with. (Blossom with a yoyo, Bubbles with a bubble wand and Buttercup with a hammer). There's no hand-to-hand combat like the original and in 5 episodes I watched, it was only Mojo Jojo they fought. The intro implies there are others but realistically, I can't be bothered to finish the series. It's just too bland.

The 2 specials were pretty decent. The art style was certainly different and took some getting used to but apart from that, they were pretty much the same characters from the 1998 version.

A little factoid about the movie most (including me) didn't notice. The napkin wasn't the only thing thrown away during the movie.

I've seen the movie many times and always assumed it was with the family. Changes the whole outcome had it proceeded. :lol:

Off Topic / Wasp Problem Identified
« on: October 04, 2019, 11:41:15 AM »
Remember last year how I mentioned the wasp problem that was fixed? Well it came back and now I know why. There's an actual nest attached outside my house near the chimney. Just had a nagging feeling to find out why the sudden back-to-back infiltration of wasps after having no issues at all. Low and behold an actual nest that was in plain sight (as opposed to a tree) was allowing the pests to sneak in and be a nuisance. So once the nest goes, that should be the end of the repeat pest performances.

Pony Corral / Ember's Apparently Swapped Genders

The Greek airing of Season 7 apparently has her with a male voice. Sounds like G3 Star Catcher's little book incident.

Pony Corral / "Rainbow" in German
« on: June 23, 2019, 07:10:48 PM »

First time I'd heard the song in another language (wasn't even aware it was IN any other language) and I'm fascinated by how different yet similar it is. I'd have thought it'd just be dubbed over but it seems the music is slightly different, like it was redone. Doesn't seem like it was dubbed over in other languages of the movie though. Makes me wonder why this wasn't used in the German version of the movie.

Pony Corral / FiM S9E11 "Student Counseler"
« on: June 08, 2019, 02:36:17 PM »
Spoiler
This episode was pretty bad. Mudbrier wouldn't stop correcting everyone and Starlight couldn't be a counselor if her life depended on it. At least Silver Stream had the courage to say it directly to her. That was about the only redeeming quality to this episode.

Pony Corral / Unknown Baby Powder Item
« on: March 12, 2019, 08:01:32 AM »
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/d~wAAOSwKQ9aFyV9/s-l500.jpg
I've found this item on eBay but have no idea where it came from. I've speculated it must've come from one of the So Soft ponies but none of the images I've found show any evidence as to whom it belongs to. It's certainly G3 but I've thought about whether or not it's a fake and whether or not it's some kind of international exclusive. Naturally, it seems like it'd go to Pretty Powder. Hmm, seem to have posted this in the wrong place. Can it be moved?
