Equestria Girls: TV Series. 36780320[Last 50 Posts]

Lets face it, it's gonna get a TV series. There is no other option.

Now, I haven't seen the second movie, but from what I gather magic is being worked through music rather than through... whatever Equestria has. Something like Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. Rather obscure, but maybe someone there was a fan.

Anyway, I want this thread to be a chance for folks to discuss how things might be in the new series. Also, lets me have my two cents on the soap box.

First off, I highly doubt the show will have Princess Twilight in any significant. Instead, I'm sure the EQ Twilight will make an appearance with brings forth the chance for an interesting twist to the classic "New Girl to School". Rather than Twilight trying to fit into a new envirement, she now has to live up to an image that her double has created. And her (new) friends have to accept a few differences between this Twilight and the one they know.

Secondly, lets face it there is only so much you can do with stories when you have ponies. A human-esk setting with magic mixed in? That has a lot more chances for different stories and new looks at old stories.

The big thing I'm looking forward to the most though is that this is the same team targeting an older audience. This means a much more 'mature' tone in the stories and a chance for them to really stretch their muscles. Unless too much freedom is bad?

But who knows. Do you? What do you think?

Pony Twilight, I think, would probably be rarely seen. Like maybe the occasional cameo or role, rather than a regular.

And EQ Twilight... probably a different take on being different than the image pony Twilight brings. We know she's interested in the magical going-ons that have been happening at Canterlot High. The question is whether she's a neutral force, or could possibly be something of an (likely not malicious) antagonistic force.

>The big thing I'm looking forward to the most though is that this is the same team targeting an older audience.
...What gives you that impression? Equestria Girls features the same characters doing the same things except in a boring high-school environment. Hell, if anything, I'd say it's less mature than the regular MLP, due to it's increased reliance in played-out clichés, simplistic characterization, and conflicts that have easy logical resolutions that are blatantly ignored.

>Lets face it, it's gonna get a TV series

To this date, all we have is an off-hand reference from some French magazine, or something like that. Nothing else at all has ever suggested a TV series.

I wouldn't start claiming "no other option" just yet.

>Secondly, lets face it there is only so much you can do with stories when you have ponies

um....

wut

People usually say that about EQG. Not FIM. Can you really think of that many stories that *require* the characters to be deformed humans in a cliche high school environment with very little magic/fantasy?

And a completely fresh fantasy world has way, way more "chances for different stories" than a rigid and cliche highschool environment.

>This means a much more 'mature' tone in the stories

Uh...judging by the stories we've gotten in the movie, and the general themes and tones, no, EQG is not being marketed towards an older audience, and it sure as hell is not "much more mature" than FIM.

I mean seriously:

FIM: Ancient evil demon-minotaur fucking up an entire kingdom, including its all-powerful rulers, and successfully overthrowing every single inhabitant

EQG: Three teenagers semi-mind-controlling a school of other teenagers during a "battle of the bands".

FIM: Evil overlord enslaving an entire kingdom through fear and oppression, and fucking *explodes and dies* upon being defeated

EQG: Cliche "queen bee bully" character bullying the school and then being reduced to a sobbing wretch and "I didn't know it was wrong to be a manipulative douchebag!" upon being defeated

Yeeaahh..."much more mature" my ass.

--------------

Really, pretty much every single argument you're giving is the opposite of the truth. FIM is the more mature cartoon, not EQG. FIM has more possibilities, not EQG. FIM has the tons of magic and fantasy, not EQG.

You feelin' alright?

I'm betting that they're basically going to Cut "twilight" in half, metaphorically.

all of Twilight's OCD and crazier characteristics that Pony twilight's been slowly losing will be the basis of twilight's character: She'll be full on adorkable and prone to OCD type fits, with her nerdiness played up to higher levels than before.

Meanwhile, Twilight's leadership traits will instead be shifted over into Sunset shimmer, and she'll be twilight without the OCD or Nerdiness, but while maintaining the Self esteem issues and worry about failing.

This way they'll keep the two of them feeling distinct and unique.



Anyways, as for her role in everything, I'm expecting initially she'll be very antagonistic and be a crazed Conspiracy theory kind of person out to expose everything as a hoax or get to the bottom of things (or behaving like crocker from fairy godparents), but will be won over by the gang's friendship in the end and come to an understanding with them as their new seventh friend.

^This

All we've gotten so far is a single reference from some random French magazine, from back in April/May. It claimed that this "animated series" would be "introduced in November 2014".

You'd think that if that were true, we would have heard SOMETHING about it by now.

Fair enough. There you go, a tripcode. And as to your point. I was wrong. Or perhaps I was simply hopeful that it wouldn't be that bad, and you know what?

I was right.

It wasn't that bad. In fact, I've seen several images of it that look very good. Rainbow Rocks was not as bad as it seemed.

I actually really enjoyed RR. that's really surprising to me and I am having a hard time deciding if I am for or against the EQG franchise now, as while I did Enjoy RR, I absolutely HATED EQG 1 to a degree matched by very little.

have you watched RR yet?

>>36780434

I don't think that the movie doing bad would kill the IP though.

Keep in mind that Equestria girls is basically on Infinite life support from the FIM franchise, and so long as FIM succeeds the EQG dolls will still sell.

But they'll need to SHOW those dolls to make sure girls know about them, so they'll keep making EQG no matter what.



>>36780430
>>36780429


I'm honestly wondering how long they can keep doing it though, workload wise.

RR is already starting to prove too much for McCarthy to do AND focus on FIM full time, necessitating larson's assistance at her job, so if they keep focusing on more and more EQG, I think they'll be forced to bring in more staff.

36780441

>>36780427
Oh, no. I meant Rainbow Power.

>>36780434
The trend is going up, not down.

>>36780430
But Hasbro is no longer limited to a single channel and a limited timeslot. If they wanted to, they could put Transformers on Syfi and GI Joe on Spike. Disney could get Strawberry Shortcake, Littlest Pet Shop and MLP. Disney XD gets Equestria Girls. Hell, they could find some new IP ideas and throw them at Cartoon Network and Nick if they wanted to.

If you find a gravy train that works, you don't just put out new ideas while the train is refueling. You build more trains!

Wouldn't it be so much more awesome to have a movie about Celestia and Luna venturing together as sisters and partners to defeat an evil foe and save Equestria in a comedic quest instead of a shitty rip-off made to appease fat men in suits?

36780445

>>36780440
Aren't they already bringing in more staff? All they need is for them to find one or two people who can support McCarthy and Larson and they could run both franchises at the same time.

Well, look at it this way:

I hate EQG and honestly can't really find any way to say that the EQG setting would be better than FIM for stories.
Plus, it has effectively Neutered Dash's character (And please no "Haha Dash had balls" jokes) due to cutting out half of what made her who she is.


at the same time, I REALLY did enjoy Rainbow rocks. And If I enjoyed it, I can't knock the series as being instantly terrible.

Plus, There's the Potential for Human Twilight to be Full on, 100% S1/S2 twilight with sunset shimmer absorbing her Other leader/magic student traits to allow for a good twilight again.


>>36780452



But what if Larson took over FIM and Mccarthy took over EQG instead?

Now, there IS a big problem with that that Marimo keeps pointing out to me (namely action might be toned down by Larson compared to McCarthy), but there is that option.

>>36780465
One person stated that the stress of running both FiM and EQ was too much for McCarthy so she had to use Larson for support for those duties, thus if both of them had supports they coudl both take part in both.

I also pointed out the fact that they are adding new staff almost every season, thus i is not just one or two more people. Did you ignore that Anon?

Also, what would you say was "action" in Magic Duel?

Someone said that, and I repeated that, but that was before someone pointed out to me what was actually said in the interview. It was Dusty who suggested it was Rainbow Rocks, while Larson didn't confirm that, despite it already being known. Meghan had joined in, and she also was vague, just saying projects. Whether it's actually related to EqG or not is unknown for now.

Dash's character, from the second she was introduced in this series, was about being a Dream chaser.

She was a pony who had a dream and goal of joining the wonderbolts, and becoming the Greatest flyer in equestria.
That's a really impressive and lofty goal that you can really empathize with, its big and its something that will NOT come easily. Its a goal that has alot of weight and gravity to it in this world since its both being a member of an honor guard of the world's god princess AND being essentially the best member of your race at its core trait (flight and weather control).
its like being a Combination of Secret service agent AND blue angel.



additionally, it has opened up Dash's character in showing her leader side, in that she's really shined in episodes where she's functioned as a team leader for other pegasi, such as in HF and in WA.




Now, what do we have in the human world? she's just a jock. She has no goals, she has no dreams, she's just about being "Awesome" and into sports.

Further, even IF she was looking to succeed at a goal of being a sports star, that's just not really as impressive as a wonderbolt. its a recreational job for entertaining others, its not like the US soccer team originated from the White house's secret service or something.

She just really lacks alot of what made her so likeable in FIM, and Its going to be HARD to give her back what she lacks.

well, if it said 2014, I seriously doubt that its accurate, given how they probably wouldn't say "we'll announce a new series in a few months"... you don't announce an announcement after all.

Most probably they were referring to RR's tv release.




Anyways, I still think a Television series is highly likely though. the MLP sales figures are shooting through the roof, and Hasbro's made series for FAR less reasons than equestria girls.

No, it specifically used the words "animated series".

Hasbro plans to expand the universe of the first film via a new animated series that should be called Equestria Academy, the school of all success .

Seeing as FiMRainbow Dash joined the Wonderbolt Reserves, would that not mean her dream is nearing completion thus contradicting your own statement?

Also, is it fair to really call her the only Dream chaser? What about Rarity who wants to be the social star of the nation? And the CMC? Really, to completely ignore them when their entire existence is dream chasing?

Also, you are completely undercutting EQRainbow Dash. She isn't just 'some jock', she's the most athletic person in Canterlot High and wants to be the captain of as many teams as she can. And who knows what her after school dreams are? If she was given the chance to show that she wants to go Pro, would that be enough? Or does she have to completely be a carbon copy of FiMRainbow to be worthy of your attention?

The reason why I enjoy EQ is because these are NOT carbon copies. The core might be the same, but the differences in their lives brings forth new shades to their personalities and attitudes.

FiM Fluttershy doesn't have to worry about keeping supplies full in her cottage to care for her little animal friends, she must geta stipend from the town or the Crown or something. Everypony in town knows about her and what she does and she's constantly giving out new pets.

Yet, we see EQ Fluttershy trying and struggling to keep her little shelter even on the back of people's minds. She has to work hard and push herself to things she isn't comfortable with to keep the shelter alive for her animal friends. This is a chance to see a new side of Fluttershy.

I want to see more things like this. This is why I want and perhaps hope beyond hope that a EQ TV series is in the works. I want to see more of this!

>Well, he did write Return of Harmony, which many consider to be the best two-parter.
And Lauren and Rob were involved with that. It's not known how much he contributes to the actual plotting, but even if they're not the kind of stories he would prefer, that wouldn't mean he can't be good at writing them.

I'll recheck the interview later, might be sometime tomorrow. Because I'm pretty sure he wasn't just referring to one scene in one episode, but more like the kind of episodes and general feeling Meghan tries to bring.

I'm just saying, we'll finally get some closure on whether it's an announcement for a new series or just an announcement of a country's localization of EqG or something when KidExpo comes. No need to be so dismissive about people saying they'll wait a bit longer just to get full confirmation.

Ah, so you're just basing everything on assumptions because you have no actual evidence. You assume that since they have more writers for season 5 that they're concurrently creating an Equestria Girls television series despite there being no official announcement to that effect. You assume that since Larson co-story edited briefly that they can just hire another body to pick up the slack so they can make a pony cartoon and a human cartoon with pretty much the exact same characters.

Its almost certainly not *Fluttershy's* shelter though: She's a kid. She volunteers at it, but its handled by someone who's an actual adult.

She might go work there in the future, but all the financial handling of its going to be handled by someone else over it seeing as how the mane six are teenagers in this world.




anways
>Also, is it fair to really call her the only Dream chaser? What about Rarity who wants to be the social star of the nation? And the CMC? Really, to completely ignore them when their entire existence is dream chasing?


The difference is that RD's dream that exists in equestria *cannot* exist in the human world due to requiring magic and additional limbs that don't exist in the human universe, while Rarity's dream (being a fashion designer) CAN exist in this world.

So while rarity can have the same arc, RD *can't* because there's no Flying Military sports team in this world.
It'd be like taking Ash ketchum and putting him in the human world: You can't have a pokemon trainer seeking his dream in a human world, so his character arc would be mangled in trying to adapt it, much like how RD can't really convert.




anyways, as for her Sports dream: If she wanted to go pro that is *Technically* a dream, but its not as *Impressive* of a dream.
It doesn't have the same measure of respect or significance as being a wonderbolt does.



>Seeing as FiMRainbow Dash joined the Wonderbolt Reserves, would that not mean her dream is nearing completion thus contradicting your own statement?

Definitely not, that's not really a full on wonderbolt, that's just some token progress.
She's still got TONS of work left to do to explore that.

Okay, rewatched it. This is what Larson said at one point "Meghan likes epic things that scare the hell out of me. I'm much more from a sitcom background, and I'm just like 'Oh my god! I don't know what that mythology is! I don't know what that means! I don't know what that does!'" Meghan commented that she does come up with the more overarching things.

He's talking about what happens during the writer's summit, done before any scripting is done, where the writers, story editor, director, some Hasbro execs, etc. get together to discuss what ideas should be used for the season. Larson was commenting on how Meghan tends to have more epic story ideas and constructs the overarching stuff. Polsky tends to suggest ideas that from Larson's view, tends to sound complicated though Polsky has a clear view for how the episode would go. And just because a writer suggests a story doesn't mean they'll be the one to write it.

Disagreed. OH GOD do I disagree.

Honestly nostalgia, while I agree with you on many things, I just can't see how you can honestly say that.
I can see how you might say they're worse than MOST of the songs in the show, but *every* *single* song of the show is better?

I mean, there are *Tons* of stinkers in the show, I just don't see how you can say that there is not a single crappy song in the show. And that's even without me arguing that the songs from the movie are outright good. :/


>>36780550
>musical episode


To be honest, I feel the musical episodes of the show have actually had the WORST music of the show! MMC and PP have felt way worse in music than songs like This day aria or WWU.


On that note, RR actually didn't really feel like a musical, as strange as that may be: there was too much "normal" plot going ons. It more felt like it had a heavy amount of music like a disney movie does than a full blown musical.

>>36780629

While I think that may be how he feels, I also get the impression that has alot of hyperbole in it coming from larson, since he tends to joke alot and make sarcastic cracks.

I think he feels a bit more at home with Sitcom, but I think he's playing up himself being uneasy with larger plots a bit more than is true.

TGSB !SWAGOLYINE 36780656

>>36780653
personally I'm not a fan of the aesthetics for the songs in the movies.

I much prefer the fleshed and more "grandiose" feel of the songs in the show.

But I think its hard to argue if one is better than the other. Neither are really innovative, neither have amazing lyrics, neither seem to have a lack of effort put into them, neither show a mastery of compositional techniques (I'd say a few from the show are pretty ok at that though).

I like the songs, but I really do think its more because of their associations with the characters, the sync with the video, and the message more than them themselves.

Its hard to argue why EQG's songs are much better or worse I'd say. I just like the show's arrangements more.

I actually have nothing against the ponies as Furries instead of ponies if its done right (when EQG's name was first announced, i was actually really excited since I've always loved Humanized or anthro Mane six stuff).

The only issues I have is the setting being limited in what I can see being done.

A caveat, though: I can't say I particularly like Blithe or her friends, their dialogue and overall behavior is some kind of Disney Channel sitcom shit. Blithe's dad has moments when his personality transcends that banality, as does Mrs. Twambly, the Biskit Twins, and their Butler. However, the real stars of the show are the pets, and I usually find myself mentally shoehorning aside Ashleigh Ball's noble-but-vain efforts at a main plot in favor of the fair-more-entertaining sub-plot of the pets.

Actually, on that note, I'd really enjoy it if they made a Equestria girls series that was anime styled.

The still drawings at the end of the movie had a nice anime feel to them that looked really good, and felt natural. I know that Flash is kind of the series signature thing, but Dang, I love how those stills look.

Are you sure? The magazine that reported it specifically used the words "animated series".

I'm not sure they'd refer to seven 2-minute shorts as an "animated series". But then again this is France, so who knows.

Uh...Bro, look at who you're replying to. It's not me.

I do hate any/all EQG songs more than even the worst FIM songs, but that is not implying that there "aren't any bad songs in FIM", just that the EQG songs are even worse than FIM's "worst".

The wording on French stuff is always weird. When it was originally translated, people assumed "animated series" meant, you know, a television series that was animated formatted in the 22 minute timeslots.
When in actuality, it meant that RR was a series of animations that pick up where EQG left off.

Things are constantly lost in translation, this is no different. There is no French-animated EQG TV series. They're just going to be announcing the French dub at KidExpo since it (the dub) hasn't happened yet.

Again, things get lost in translation all the time- especially from the French.
Don't you think we, as Americans, would have heard something about an actual animated series by now before the French even hold their KidExpo in November?
And again, the French dub of Rainbow Rocks and associated shorts haven't been released yet. It would make sense for them to announce these things next month (which is when that weird article mentions that they would be announcing an "animated series").

Equestria Academy is just French Rainbow Rocks. Check out that poster >>36780696

I do agree with you, I don't think there is going to be a TV series, but I'm not sure why/how you're so sure of it.

How is "nouvelle série animée" getting lost in translation? It directly translates to "New animated series".

And the poster, it has the Rainbow Rocks logo on it. I don't think they'd name it "Equestria Academy" and use a logo with a completely different name.

And of course, this would not be the first time Europe got information about something way ahead of time. See: that Alicorn Twilight banner at that european Hasbro convention, like 5-6 months before MMC

Because French is never "directly translated". They have a different sentence structure and idioms and phrases. If you were to "directly translate" the stickers printed on your car's safety warnings, you would only get a loose interpenetration of what's printed in English.

"nouvelle série animée" refers to a series of animations (Rainbow Rocks) that is new (hasn't been dubbed yet). And it picks up directly after the first movie.
If you want to keep playing devil's advocate until November, fine. But I'm not going to keep doing this back and forth with you over it until the NOTHING that happens in November happens.

And you know this, how?

Translating French to English is not like translating Russian to English. The two languages are not very hard to translate between each other, especially seeing as French already has lots of words that are similar or the same, in English.

>"nouvelle série animée" refers to a series of animations

Again, how do you know this? Are you knowledgeable about common French idioms and usage of phrases like "animated series" ? How are you so absolutely 110% sure that "animated series" refers to some clips and not a cartoon? Have French magazines, in the past, referred to a small collection of short clips as an "animated series" ?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious about how you're so absolutely sure that you're correct.

Also, there's no need to be a massive douche over disagreements about an unconfirmed rumor.

Do you own a car? Go read the French version of the safety warnings. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Anyway, here's what was said in the ToyzMag article:
"Hasbro prévoit de développer l’univers du 1er film via une nouvelle série animée qui devrait s’intituler Equestria Academy, l’école de tous les succès. Celle-ci sera présentée en France en novembre 2014 lors de la Kidexpo !"

Plugging that directly into Google yields:
"Hasbro plans to expand the universe of the first film via a new animated series that should be called Equestria Academy , the school of all success. This will be presented in France in November 2014 when Kidexpo !"

>plans to expand the universe of the first film
Yeah, with a second film and it's accompanying shorts.
>Equestria Academy
Just like "Rainbow Power" is "Rainbow Color" in France, they changed the "series" of Equestria Girls to "Equestria Academy".
>November 2014 when KidExpo !
Ah, google translate... At least you're trying...
KidExpo is in October, as stated by Marimo, and since we in the Americas haven't gotten any news on a so-called "new animated series" for EQG, I doubt the French are going to get firsties.

And I have my reasons for being a douche. Mostly due to people (like you, Nostalgia. Surprise surprise, it's happening again) completely disregarding what I lay out for them as evidence. And then when things happen exactly as I predict, people act like they were right the whooooole time~.

"Expanding the universe of the first film" does not exclusively mean "second film", you know.

>in France, they changed the "series" of Equestria Girls to "Equestria Academy".

Then tell me, why are they using a logo that reads "RAINBOW ROCKS" ? With the dubbed versions of FIM, they always translate "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" into whatever language, yet here, they're still using a "Rainbow Rocks" logo.

>completely disregarding what I lay out for them as evidence

Just because you "lay it out as evidence" does not mean it's automatically correct and you can start talking down to people as if they're wrong for not agreeing. There was tons of "evidence" for Alicorn Twilight being a hoax, for example.

There is no completely solid evidence for either side of this argument. Kindly stop being a douche about it; it will only cause divisiveness.

A vague hint that may or may not be referring to something else entirely than "animated spinoff for EqG" and desn't necessarily have to be EqG related, and may also just be EqD's interpretation of the answer.

Nope. This french magazine was the only one to report this, and it was back in April.

Who knows. We could get a TV series, or "Equestria Academy" could just be French Rainbow Rocks. But right now, there's no strong evidence one way or the other.

According to EQD though, they emailed ToyMag about it:

>"While there is currently an embargo on the actual content, Toymag was able to confirm via email that this is in fact a side series spinoff of the Equestria Girls movie, and will be launching in November in Paris at The Kid Expo."

The clips do still technically count as a "side series spinoff" to EQG, being that they're based on the books and not the movie, so...yeah.

>>36780757
>They will be in something later though.

Yeah, that "something" could easily be the comics or one of the S5 episodes.

Other way around. The book was adapted from the shorts.

The shorts were likely made to tie into the upcoming movie, as well as to have a series of shorts for one of Hasbro's channels, just like how they've been making LPS shorts.

Well if it turns out it is just the shorts instead of a new original show like a lot of people thought it was going to be, doesn't that by definition mean it was misinterpreted? People thought a "new animated series" meant one thing when it turns out it meant a different thing.

yea....
then you get S03 where she got deleted intentionaly.

so how much time it was, a year an a half?

And i woulndt have much of a problem with it, if it wasnt for how much of an idiots hasbro think we are.

When the rumors start happening.
instead of having a week, then answer to everybody saying "We had scenes which got a completly wrong idea of what hasbro want to bring with this show, so we will make some changes so there is no room for miss interpretation"

instead, it took a month and they said "People pointed out how this scene is mean spiritive, and dont bring the spirit of friendship we want to bring, so we change it so it bring the spirit of friendship like it should, so people know how much hasbro approve friendship"

So crossed eyes ponies are equal to "anti-friendship" message.

We just knew what happen because later the writer of the episode explained better the thing, but if it was for hasbro, we are going to get that half ass excuse.

Yea, good that dərpy is there, but just because people did a big deal of it.

And because they are probably wanting to change her name to Muffin..... at least is better than the stupid ditzy name, so the pro ditzy get to fuck themselfs, just like they did to us with the dərpygate.

It was because "dərpygate" happened while S3 was being animated. So as a knee-jerk reaction, they just completely erased her from most of S3.

The whole "anti-friendship" thing is just empty PR statements. They don't really want to research the situation and say "oh, lots of people on the internet got mad about this character", they just give a general statement of "we feel this episode needed a little change".

And that is why i think that the people at hasbro are just as emtpy like their PR statements.

If there is something i look forward to people, is them Honesty, if they think i dont deserve the true obviously they will not get my trusth. and if they dont think i should know the true, is because their intentions have no good.

Just commenting on the animation, not the porn, but I think the animation for Rainbow Rocks actually looks good, especially for something made in Flash that's almost entirely about humans. It's a lot more fluid than the first movie and other Flash series' human's animations, like LPS's.

it was such a big deal so they throw money and resources on something they had already done.

and yes, obviously when they was editing that scene they didnt give a fuck of what is the problem, they pretty much just changed everything.

remove the name, understandable, alot of people think the name mean retard
remove the voice, undestandable,i mean, it was to deep. and some people relate talking deep to be a brain damage thing. And i wouldnt mind the new voice at all.... except because the actress do the most generic, and plain voice, with 0 personality, pretty much was "record it and ship that shit fast", but that is a nitpick
remove rainbow dash having an angry face expresion?, ok....
remove the ponies twist eyes? oh come on you fucking bastards. so now google eyes are offensive?
that was the point? people thought dərpy was a retard because she had google eyes, google eye people equal retards? good to know hasbro.

But that day won the anti-dərpy, and pro-ditzy, but should be expected, we can win all the fights, there is always going to be loses.

Eh. The animation isn't *BAD*, it's just a little stiff and wonky. Mostly due to the really weird proportions.

It's especially noticeable with Celestia/Luna, because their legs are practically stilts.

>>36781140
Yeah, I also find it hilarious/sad that people shitstormed over Dərpy, yet nobody cares about Snails who is, IMO, much more "offensive" than Dərpy ever was.

Cheap MS paint edits of screenshots do nothing for me, except make me laugh at how horrible they are.

Though I will admit there is *some* decent EQG porn. Very scarce. Rather amusing that porn artists draw the characters with better proportions than the actual animators.

I dunno, that some cloppers probably have very specific tastes? I just find it interesting to consider that some of them might like the more realistically-proportioned drawing, and some might hate it and actually prefer the MS Paint edits.

Maybe there are people out there who argue about r34 just as hotly as we do (or did) about the show's writing. Maybe there's someone out there who has similar opinions of John Joseco vs tiarawhy that we have of Larson vs Williams.

I've heard a theory that it's a pun on Star Academy [en.wikipedia.org], a reality show with contestants learning music that aired for 9 seasons in France. With this in mind "Equestria Academy" makes a lot of sense as a name for the series of shorts wherein the mane 5 are introduced to their respective instruments.

So there is going to be a reboot of rainbow brite?

rainbow brite is a hasbro thing?
or a mattel thing?
i dont remember who...
or it was a show just for the sake of a show, so then companies can negotiate for a licence?

I have no feels for rainbow brite to care, but at least she look like a little girl, instead of her last rencarnation...

Actually, I'm not sure who currently owns it. Mattel had the master toy license first, but it's Hallmark who really owns it, just like how American Greetings owns Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake. And each toy generation, they change which toy company owns the master toy license. Playmates was the latest owner.

not really.
IT WAS.

because that dolls are from 2010.

but the new ones probably are not going to be like that. it look like it goes more for a normal cartoon approche, or you could call it the FIM approche.

even it is about rainbows and girls and horses, it look like it isnt going to be dumb down like the girls show usually do. which is good.

even i doubt the characters are going to be really fun, or having a really great personality.

but at least it isnt trying to be like MH or set it on a Highschool. so at least the dumb down pandering department isnt a thing.

I dont know if there are pictures of the new rainbow brite products.

this are from 2010, 25th aniversary stuff.

Going to sound HORRIBLY non-hetero here, but when I was like 4 or so I actually really liked Rainbow brite; the only thing I remember watching was the very first pilot or movie for it, but I actually loved it as a kid.

Probably why I like rainbow dash so much XD
Actually have always really liked rainbow color schemes from an asthetic point of view.

Here is a trailer AND....
probably have a really really small budget....
or i dont know, the humore probably isnt my cup of tea, or maybe is the way the trailer is edited
but hey, like i said, at least it isnt MH/EG band wagon.

and Emily Osment and Molly Ringwald are some kind of important names?
because all the articles love to show off how this people are in it.

And is a good thing hasbro isnt doing this one isnt it?
or they would want to name us like "rainbros brites" or something.

I'm fine with the designs, though the animation parts do look cheap.

Not enough is really shown for me to get a good feel on how the writing usually is. Rainbow Brite sort of sounds like Lola in the first instance, but loses the valley girl accent in other bits. And I kind of liked the "Nothing is cuter!" joke.

You're missing the point. For like a long shot. We're not discussing if these pics are getting edits, but the MS paint thing, which in a way is insulting, since they just dismiss them as if they were easy to do.

yea, im not saying it is horrible, and the thing with the humor is probably just for the editing of the trailer, we dont know.

and like you say, the dessigns are ok, but the animation look cheap, it remind me for some reason that cartoon of kids being pirates, or shesow, but not even like that...

i dont know, it probably will be good enough for some people.

I've had to sit through it a few times when babysitting, and its pretty bad.

like, I feel bad hating on it since its made for sub 5 year old kids. But its just so bleh. Pretty much feels like dora the explorer with a disney bent instead.

Its not meant to have good animation, as things happening aren't really the intended point of the show; its really basic in its structure.

DemonioBlanco 36781355

>>36781353
of course.
but like kids like to pretend they are pirates, they dont want to say "so you want to be a horrible person which kill and steal from others?"
so to keep selling to the kids their pirates, they just make the kids pirates nice.

Is like in the future, kids want to play being rapist, so they are going to make slogans like that saying "a rapist never touch another person body with out their permision"
so they could keep selling rape products to kids, while real rapist still a bad thing.

Nº 441 !fOINzMA0KU 36781356

>>36781355
Iiii don't think that's how it works. I think the reason why pirates got so easily pacified is the whole "seafaring adventurers" aspect, of rough guys that don't take no for an answer, while downplaying the murder, thievery, and rape. Rapists can't really undergo the same process because their entire spectrum is sexual in nature, which, good or bad, is still out of reach for children.

Though I do expect that in the future Mobsters will undergo the same treatment. Kids in the 2050's are going to go running around pretending to be Al Capone and Tony Montana.

haha. come on 441, watch the movie. You'll get to see that scene! ;)

On that note, I think the Song battle at the end was the best fight yet, better than the tirek fight. It had all of the six involved, had a nice back and forth between the heroes and villains, and let me root for them all.

Plus that awesome Alicorn goodness at the end.

Why bother? It's only cool because of the effects. I don't really care about the outcome because I have no reason whatsoever to care about any of the characters. It's the same thing with the Tirek VS Twilight fight.

>>36781555
Wrong, those are corsairs.

I don't even get the whole Ninja VS Pirate thing, both were very different warriors from different eras that had different jobs. Ninjas were spies and assassins that worked in small groups, Pirates were scrappy bandits that fought in large numbers with whatever tools they had on hand.
