Also Lyra's saddle bag has Bon Bon's cutie mark on it and vice versa. 


The studio went that far to please the folks giving them internet fame?
Good thing I stopped watching then.

Note that it doesn't have her name on the box.  Although it does have muffins, which I'm down with.


Is her muffin obsession canon now?

If this is real, I'm beyond shocked Hasbro would ever release her after all of the drama her incredibly poor introduction caused.


My thoughts exactly

Could be worse. Remember that photo where she has some disembodied ponyheads strung around her neck like some witchdoctor's voodoo charm?


Now that was awful.

I was always always under the impression that it was the Pony-Queen qho laid the eggs from where the baby ponies hatch.


But that's okay too.

It has come to my attention starting with Wave 2 that the numbers get harder and harder to read. They're not as clearly visible anymore than they used to be.

HUNK has secured the Pony, will he be able to make it safely to the extraction point?

Yeah, I guess we got a bit sidetracked after the stereotype characters

Friendship is Magic is blessed with group of brilliant writers (oh how I wish to be one) who understand not just the concept of the show, but the spirit of the show.



Yet some of them seem to struggle to understand certain characters.
*cough* Applejack *cough*


I think the writing on FIM is actually pretty overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's good/decent in general but i don't see what makes it oh so amazing. Especially the character development. I always hear people claim it is so great. To me it seems the characters often get bend to fit into a certain script and i feel like the characters are actually pretty stereotypical. The tomboy, the bookworm, the shy one, the "random" one...Nothing wrong with that, they are fun characters. I just don't see what makes them so much more amazing than a lot of other toons out there. I personally wouldn't re-watch a lot of the episodes...Not sure if i'm the only one. I miss the more adventurous G1 cartoon and i actually enjoyed how the G1 cartoon had different ponies in different episodes.


YES, exactly. Thats how I feel about it to! Don't get me wrong I really like the FIM cartoon but I don't see it as being that much more amazing. I like it but some of the stories seem kinda familar/similar. In fact there have been quite a few where I could predict the ending.

Personally, I think you could take a G1 episode, change the characters and it would work as a G4 episode.



I completely agree with you two.
I might even go so far as to say FiM jumped the seapony during Season 2.


To elaborate:
  • Same villain gymmick (mindcontrol) used twice in the season. Creepy fetishists rejoiced.
  • Ponies suffering from amnesia whereever they go as a plotdevice.
  • Applejack still not being honest.
  • Throwaway shoutouts stealing valuable time to develop the story (:muffin: Pony)
  • References everywhere (what was the point of the big Lebowsky reference anyway?)
  • Way too much attention being given to catchphrases. Meme folks rejoiced.
  • Overdoing the songs (okay, the S1 finale had that too)
That said, it still had some nice episodes. But to me the series lost it'S special touch. Not saying that it was ever as revolutionary as bronies claim, but it was thouroughly enjoyable.

Keep in mind that bronies are a fandom that is ridiculously into overanalyzing or bending interpretations or just making stuff up so it'll make sense the way they want it.
If they want something to be something it isn't, then there will be no effort spared until everyone submits to it.

Everything had to have the right name and woe become anyone who decided they should call the pony anything different lol!


Are you, by any chance, quoting the brony minister of fanon names?


But I agree, I'm not into renaming either. Though sometimes I feel tempted (picture related)

Eh, i think the blush is kinda cute. If you hate it i'm sure it can be removed fairly easily. I'm mostly surprised they will actually call this the "collectors set". Though i'm glad it's not called the "brony set". XP


Yeah, they're full of themselves more than enough already
