My Little Pony & Friends realization!!

[RavenFeather]

So I was hosting a G1 Marathon for the MN Bronies like I do every couple of months (Pretty good turnout this time too, had 10 people!!)  And we watched some of the very best MLP & Friends episodes and the movie (Turned out to be a 9 hour marathon!!).  The response was very positive, and the only complaint anybody really had was some of the wonky animation and the goofs.

But while watching it I noticed something, there was a lot of real continuity in the series I never caught before.  Like in 'Crunch the Rockdog', the mountain mentioned he had used a black lava rock from the Volcano of Gloom.  Which was the home of the witches in the movie!  Or in 'Ghost of Paradise Estate' We learn that Dream Valley used to be underwater, and in the movie the witches said everything used to be dark, dank and dreary.  And Dank means wet.  They were talking about when Squirk used to rule!!!

How fun to find references to the past in the show...  

[Elisto]

Huh, I never noticed! That's pretty cool!

The writers' bible says the Volcano of Gloom is in the Black Mountains, which is where Princess Porcina and the Raptorians live.

Cool! 

[hathorcat]

Very cool! That sounds like a fun evening and some pony things learned!

[Shenanigans]

I never noticed that! Sounds like you guys had fun

[Juri]

[Galactica]

Cool- I had never noticed!  I have a sudden urge to watch from begginning to end...

I didn't even catch that one!!

I caught this stuff. Of course, I'm a Johnny-come-lately who watched it all on YouTube. Yeah, G1 actually had some nice continuity going.

[Snapdragon]

Wowww, looks like it's time for me to re-watch! I missed a LOT when I was a kid!

[Dusky]

Awesome!

Tangent: where did you get the episodes? All of mine skipped or failed on their DVDs, or I only have them on VHS. Woe.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

All of them can be found on YouTube.

All of them can be found on YouTube.

Well, the Episode 'Pony Puppy' seems to be all the exact same video uploaded on many accounts, and the audio is very much off.  But yeah, all on Youtube, we did the marathon using this thing called Synchtube which allows people to see youtube videos over many computers and it is all synched up so everybody sees the same thing at the same time.  And has a nice little chatbox too!

Maybe next time I'll post a link here when I do it again? Probably around October near Halloween?

Awesome!

Odd, my DVDs work perfectly after many viewings.  My nieces love watching the 'Old Ponies'!   And I've never had a problem with them, not even images ghosting which I've heard happens with some of the DVDs.  I just wish they could have cleaned up some of the animation before putting it to dvd... *Shrugs*
