I've been absent from the fandom for five years.

I'm filming a satirical documentary about the fandom which will require me to go to the last ever BronyCon.

I decided to do my research before attending, so I'm watching all 100 hours of the series before the event. Are there any fluff episodes I should skip?

Also, I have a lot of questions about the series and I can only assume I'm going to have more. Thread starts now:

Sure, skip everything after Season 4 since that's where the show went down the shitter

I just watched the episode where the CMC get their cutie marks for the first time and I was incredibly disappointed they did it so early in the show (not to mention I hate how poorly written the episode was, save for that awesome song by Diamond Tiara).

Was this the same reaction the rest of the fandom had?

I remember how upset everyone was after Larson gave Twi those wings. Did anyone think this was for a similar reason (to sell more toys)? Or did anyone feel like it was just bad timing and poor writing like me?

I loved it because I saw it before I knew they'd go on to be extremely sidelined for the next 4 years. I actually believed they'd go on to continue developing as individuals, as they did in season 4, and maybe finally age up some as they experience new things. If that happened, there wouldn't have been any problems with them getting their marks half-way through the show. Unfortunately, they instead became minor characters under all the new plots.

why not just tell a regular ass documentary? just like... unironically, just ask people why the hell they've stuck around so long, why your still doing this shit, what the shows real meaning is, what peoples actual lives are like aside from "ha ha you watch ponies lol" it's such an old plot. Don't even make it like, about the fandom, just make it about, just... people, ask them why they're there, what they've been up to, then they'll explain themselves if you really wanna find out I'm just saying.

Thank you, that's what I was thinking.

Though, maybe he means newfag in that I'm new to the series post-2014? That's how I tried to interpret it.

>>34061097

That'll be part of it. I'm certainly going to pretend like I'm not a brony up until the end. It'll be like a reveal, I suppose. That this whole time I knew both sides of the coin and that I actually had admiration for aspects of the fandom and the show the whole time.

it was just shit...
the whole premise of them helping other people get their marks was weird,
the song was the only real redeeming quality that almost gave me a tear, but in retrospect, probably could've been drawn out a little more, the whole show turns into a.d.d. fest sometimes in the next season. I think that's season 5 which is the self aware season the show could've ended on, season 6 is the worst season, like, even worse then 3 which people bash on for being short, I thought "that's it, it's getting cancelled, these are the last episodes/" then seven is redeeming, eight is fair, nine is good but just because I like ending in obscurity.

I wanna do stuff like that for the majority of the film. I've written out a bunch of ideas. Larson knows me (we're both from Minneapolis, we've met a couple of times) so I might get his help to pull a couple of pranks. No spoilers, but I'm going ham on this lmao

I'd prefer to keep it free, so I'm posting it on YouTube. However, I'll also be keeping it on BitChute to be safe. It gets a bit ranchy.

If it does well, I might release a version with more footage on iTunes for a buck or something. Honestly, I've sunk at least a grand into this already and the con isn't for another week and a half!

I co-own a channel with 34K. I also own one personally with 1K (under the same name in the video). But I'm thinking of starting from scratch.

There's a huge chance this won't get me anywhere and I'll only get a thousand views on a feature-length project that I spent months on, but I'm doing it because (as much as I'll be dissing the fandom) I love this show and the fans that made it great. I wanna make sure someone pays tribute to it. I'd love to give it a good send-off.

You can start by skipping season 9. Haber pretty much ruined it. Season 6 isn't quite as bad but the only really good episode is Saddle Row Review. Otherwise, its up to you how much time you have and how much you want to skip

I recently acquired some Brony content creators who are interested in working on the project! I'll keep that a secret until I'm off the ground and have something to show
