CHILL THE FUCK OUT!
Okay, Lauren Faust had an overwhelmingly positive influence on the show. But she was not the only good thing the show had going for it. In this fandom, we tend to idolize Lauren Faust but it's important to remember that there are other, equally talented writers, animators and producers that made the show what it is. Let's keep from panicking until we see season two. I think we owe it to the rest of the production crew. |
| AnuAikan #69030 1 year ago |
Without entering in panic, the phrase "circumstances with the production made it increasingly impossible for me to keep up the level of personal creative involvement" sound bad. |
| Gimtek #69032 1 year ago |
Sadness seeps into my heart, such a good thing and corporate "vision" gets in the way. I'm willing to bet it was not Lauren's decision to have reduced control of the series.... |

I sense executive meddling . . . |
| Anonymous #69039 1 year ago |
As mentioned before, there are still a LOT of great staff members who will be working on the show, though it will be a shame to see Lauren go. But I really hope she'll be given the opportunity to work on another amazing project such as this one! |
| SpecialAnon #69043 1 year ago |
Now she just helps create the story and slightly edits the script? That's BULL***T! I just hope that things go well, or else this show will turn out like FHFIM or PPG; cut down in its prime. |
| Anonymous #69045 1 year ago |
the "increasingly impossible to keep up the personal creative involvement" part...I wish I knew more about why that is ;_; Even though that's ridiculously nosy of me...
tbh the pilot episodes are still my favorite, and she had the most involvement in those, so I'm worried that season 2 will be more-along-the-lines of some of my least favorite episodes. She made the pilot feel so dang "epic", so I'm worried that season 2 will lack luster... Who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I was already depressed today so this news is just... I'm sorry |

"I know its been confirmed by Lauren Faust and all but yes, Luna will be back especially Derpy (Who has now became an official Character here. I wouldn't be surprised if she has her own character sheet/model with preset expressions)." From Kreoss.
... Prepare to be dissapointed. Whatever they decide Derpy to be, it's going to step in lots of bronies' expectations. |

I swear from the comments here people are thinking the show will regress back into G3 crap or something. Like Anon 7 said, it wasn't SOLELY Faust. She just got the ball rolling. We've still got the amazing animators, directors, voice actors, and musical talent on board. Let's just wait and see. Though I must admit, I'm worried about that "Different way" line of hers :/ |
| Anonymous #69120 1 year ago |

I think people are just overreacting, thinking that Hasbro is going to take complete control and turn the show into nothing but a merchandise-driven franchise again, as it was in the past. |
| Captain_Carnation #69121 1 year ago |
I'm cautiously optimistic regarding all of this. I doubt that, even as a consultant, Lauren would allow things to stray too far from her vision. She had to make quite a few concessions even during the first season, so I'd expect more of the same fare.
I'm even devilishly interested in what becomes of Derpy. Even if her character doesn't match fan expectations, we'll always have the fan work itself to fall back on. Still, it is as if millions of voices suddenly whinnied in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. |
| AnuAikan #69124 1 year ago |
Darnit, Captain_Carnation. I was just about to make the star wars Reference D= |
| Philweasel #69138 1 year ago |
Agreed with the hopeful ones, Lauren Faust played a huge part of attracting quality writers, directors, and voice actors and stressing quality control across the board but she isn't the show. In fact one of the good points about her leaving is that she won't overshadow and be given credit for things others had done (Jayson Thiessen and Amy Keating Rogers need far more love). |
| Anonymous #69146 1 year ago |
No we need to freak out. Why? Because Faust doesn't really fear being different, and that, for our fanbase is a good thing.
Let's compare this to PPG the closest in relation due to it also being a girls show, in that show they consantly had brains and blood and shit fly everywhere and one of the enemies was a giant red transvestite in drag. That entertaining shit right there. Now if they take that edge that Lauren offered I really feel that it will turn into a show that's driven down by the "standards" of girly things to make it a girly show. I feel they will change it to better suit the original intention of a small girls fan base, like the rest of the MLP series. Faust just has a way of getting away with some cheeky things, and that's the type of stuff that makes the show, if that goes it'll turn into a big steaming pile of shit, or a modified shit version of what it once was. |

BOYCOTT SEASON 2 I'm kidding as if they actually care if you did. |
| AnuAikan #69157 1 year ago |
Things really seem to be fluctuating between "PABODY NONIC!" and "EVERYONE PANIC!" so fast right now that it's getting hard to follow.
Tonight I've heard things I like, things I don't like, things I wished weren't, and things I wished that were, but aren't about season 2. In the end, even if it all goes to pony hell, we'll still have one good season worth of ponies, and if anyone mentions season 2, we can just act like the four last panels in here http://xkcd.com/566/ |
| NonAnon #69158 1 year ago |
No real worries guys. Likes been said, we still have the great writers and animators Lauren brought in, and I'd doubt anybody in the crew would ignore her consultations.
Although I suspect the reason she left was because she saw a little too much of our stuff. She probably couldn't think about her crazy Pinkie Pie scenes w/o a flash of Cupcakes. I know I can't. |
| Anonymous #69161 1 year ago |
This is beyond awful. Faust doesn't feel she can work due to various circumstances with the production? Whatever drove her off is not going to be good for the show.
Well, we will always have Season One. |
| Anonymous #69169 1 year ago |

Now that Faust has shown them the proper way to do it I doubt they'll deviate from the original formula too much. We'll just have to wait and see. |

Shame. Even then, I have the faint fear that something might happen that'll make Season two, just not as memorable as the Season 1.
Maybe subtle changes in our favorite characters, or these new characters aren't as well recieved by fans for one reason or another. In fact, reason why new characters might be showing up is possibly to sell toys, but then again. We haven't seen Trixie, Depry, Gilda, or the majority of characters already be made as toys. I realy REALLY hope it stays as the same show we love, I really hope it doesn't change so much to fit Hasbro's needs. I mean, they can still try to sell merchandise without it affecting the show right? |
| Anonymous #69523 1 year ago |
No offense, SpecialAnon, but PPG was hardly cut down in its prime. As much as I loved it (and I loved it so much I still draw puff pictures), it had a box-office-flop of a movie and was dying in the 6th season without its creator working on the show.
That's why I'm a little worried for MLP in the future, though I'm sure season 2 will be far from terrible. |

It'll be a shame she's gone, but I have high hopes for the second season. Especially since she mentioned it'll be the same staff as before, namely the writers. Though I hardly claim it an accurate source by any means, comparing the writing staff of Friendship is Magic to the first few seasons of Powerpuff Girls, will show quite a few overlapping names, and with very minor exceptions, the episodes they worked on were, in my opinion, the best episodes of Powerpuff Girls. I still have faith that season 2 could be all that it's hyped up to be, and more. |
| Anonymous #70212 1 year ago |
Far too many of you have put LF on a pedestal and worship her. I like the show for the show and not for who's worked on it. But I foresee a LOT more title dropping and simplified seen-a-mile-away conflict resolution in season 2. I wouldn't have a major problem with transforming the show into a product vehicle, if only Hasbro would sell the products the fans actually wanted. |

If Derpy Hooves hadn't shown up on google while I was typing in derp, I likely never would have found this show. I'm looking forward to seeing her in season 2! |
