  1. At last someone else understands their color staying the same as their pony forms. Unfortunately racism is around is and as someone here posted their would people complaining why someone is a certain race. While people may complaine I saw it as a smart move.
  2. I imagin she has some knowledge of what's on the other side of the mirror. If not then would she be sending Twilight on a dangerous mission to who knows where? (she has sent her on dangerous missions, but to an unknown world alone?)
  3. I don't care For that matter if half of the bronies do leave then fine Who am I to stop someone form leaving the fandom? Is there a code that says you must stay or that you have to pass a trial to leave? Whenever something like this happens I'm always the wierd one because I am always okay with things. I have seen horrible forms of media and this is what we are worried about?!? It's silly that's how I discribed it, silly. People want to leave? Fine go Stop complaining and stop making a big deal about it, just go. If I ever leave I will leave and leave the rest of you alone in peace.
  4. I don't like the word "hate". To me that word is a strong representation of dislike, but instead of just being dislike, it would be trying to destroy whatever it is you "hate". There are chritatism and then there are (as much as indon't like the term) "haters". Chritatisms are opinions that give the persons own opinion while still trying to respect the others opinion. "Haters" give their opinion, but disregard the others opinion and try to do everything on their power to attack those that don't share that same opinion. I know there are people in between and I am sorry that you are cought in this crossfire that is "Equestria Girls".
  5. Rotten tomatoes tends to be biased. That said kids films tend to get low scores on their sites. That said I would say the film would get a rotting rating. Does that mean the movie is bad? I don't know. All I know is that most critics dislike it
  6. I'll stay in the fandom for a long time. Things like Alicorn Twilight and Equestria Irls arn't things that bother me. In fact show wise it's hard make hate something. I don't "hate" anything unless there is a good reason. I do dislike things, but rarely "hate". As long as I like the show I'll stay, I like what I like an that's enough. No more no less. The only thing that could possibly make me leave is that everyone in the fandom became like a cult and started doing things I don't agree with. Other then that I'm good.
  7. Well the Bronies of Phoenix are making a meetup date to go see the film, so no worries about me being the only fan to see the film on the big screen. So ya I may watch it in theaters.
  8. Statred watching Gargoyels the animated series. What happened to Disney animated shows?

  9. Going to bed. Night

  10. Well that was a rather interesting turn of events. You did all that without much but a simple music track. Truly amazing how much one song can cause all that.
  11. Interesting A plot A theory on how things work. A detailed explanation just by watching a minute worth of trailer. All in all Good job.
  12. An interesting villan She has a potential back-story and could possibly be a good villan. Only downside is that she won't appear on season 4 Or will she? (I have a theory, but I won't put it here).
  13. If it makes you feel batter I defend those who are disliking this film (I don't like to use hate since it sounds too harsh for me, but whatever works for you). Look people if someone doesn't like something then fine. Who said we had to like everything that had to come out this series. You think "every" Star Wars fans liked the Christmas special? No You think "every" turtle fan liked the Third Ninja Turtle film? No (also I emphasized the word "every" as I means everyone). Look of you don't like the film go ahead. I don't have any control per your taste and preferences. And that's all it is, taste and preferences. Some people will like it, others won't. If you don't like it go ahead and rant. If it makes you feel better go ahead. All I ask though is that you try not to start fights. If people are hating on you ignore them, don't fuel their cause to defend anymore. Me? I'm neutral on this, yet I still respect the opinions of all.
  14. Generic boyfriend #2765 How predictable. I'm not saying this character is bad, I'm just saying that the concept of a love interest in a high school film is as cliche as you can get. That said we don't know what this character is like. As long as he is not a cliche perfect guy type or that one guy who always does the right thing, then I'm good. (he need to be more 3-dimensional)
  15. Good night everypony

  16. Okay let's watch this trailer *one screening later* Hmmmm Interesting. •We see a plot (Twilight goes to get a crown, but what is special about it? Can't Celestia get another one? Could be relieved in plot.) •A obvious villan (Sunset Shimmers, a previous student of Celestia, could bring great interesting conflict). •Fish-out of water scenario (how original as if we havn't seen that before. It's not like the idea has been done to death. Knit-pick yet if they don't emphasize too much on this it could work). •Attention seems to be on Twilight which is what the focus should be on since this is about her In a way. All in all It seems okay.The designs are better then I imagined (thank Celestia they didn't use the designs with the wings and horns). Not great, but it could be worse. I'm not going to dismiss it and will give it a shot. Even if it sucks I won't hate it. As long as a movie does no harm or gives a bad message (unlike a film that shall not be named) I'm willing to give it a pass.
  17. Well I'm out. Going to help make my mom feel special. Hope you guys have a good mother's day as well.

  18. From what I can gather Twilight's talent is magic itself and now that she is an Alicorn people assume she is invincible. Why? I don't know.
  19. People assume that just because Twilight is an Alicorn and her special talent is magic itself, that automatically she is the most powerful being. What people don't realize is that Twilight has to have limits in some retrospect. Twilight is not invincible from what I can tell in the show/ comic, and while she has potential to be the most powerful, she isn't there yet, or can't achieve it yet. While we can't tell Twilight's limits based on the show, we can base them on theories on how magic works in other media. I consider the work of MLP in a fantasy setting, with dragons, hydras, etc. There are modern elements, but it seems like a modern fantasy setting to me. So I will assume that it is. In any given fantasy magical system, a person must have limits to his/ her magical abilities, or the story has no conflict: the magic can overwhelm the other side if there is no limit. For this reason I believe that Twilight has limits, but what kind? A common theory (rule/idea) is that a person can only cast so many spells, use an ability so many times in a day, or use a measured amount of magic. This is the most common use in role-playing games, where the rules rigorously define them. Similarly, in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, the One Power is limitless but each individual user can only channel a limited amount of it at any one time. Anyways what's this have to do with MLP, well a lot. Remember in the Crystal Empire episodes (episodes that are still being argued of they where good or not). Anyways the Crystal Empire is being protected by a shield cast by princess Cadence, however we are told that she has been doing this for a while and is exhausted. Eventually it tires her out and she faints. Clearly a sign of a limitation as she couldn't use the same spell forever, however this theory on "mana" doesn't mention fatigue. In fact the theory of "mana" mentioned that the user can only use so much magic in one day, yet its stated that Cadence has been using this spell for days repeatedly. So what's the deal? Is there no answer? Well yes there is Another theory of magic is that energy is taken from the spell-caster to power the spell itself, such as in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. Depending on how strong or advanced the spell is compared to the caster, the spell can cause weakness, fainting, or even death. This describes what Cadence was going through. While Cadence was getting weaker, the shield stayed relatively the same, not changing in strength (otherwise Sombra would have broken through). She used herself as an energy source that was running out and this caused her to collapse in fatigue. So we know that beings like Cadence (or lower) have limits, but what about Celestia and Luna? Well first off, you have to consider what Celestia and Luna are. Some consider them as deities and thus they should have limitless power right? WRONG!! Remember in Canterlot wedding where Celestia got her flank handed to her by Crysalis. She may have lost because of Shining Armors love that fueled Cryslais, but it also may have been Celestia's fault. If the character is a deity or similar, limits may be entirely self-imposed, like Simkin from the Darksword series. Celestia could potentially have given herself limits and is why she isn't as much of a god as we thought her to be. This is all theory and I'm not here for Celestia or Luna, I'll get to them another day (so I won't describe why they have limits based on this theory). I'm here for Twilight. Where does that leave is with her? She isn't a deity, but she is on a higher level then Cadence, so what's the deal. Does she have limits or not? Some argue that she has potentially limitless magic that is sealed inside her. So what gives? Is there no solution? Well....Yes there is An alternative form of magical limitation provides theoretically unlimited power, but restricts what a user can do to what that user is capable of imagining, comprehending and understanding. In this scenario, magical ability may often be increased through scientific study of the world in order to better understand its working, something observed in The Belgariad by David Eddings. If we are to assume that Twilight has limitless power, then why couldn't she use spells she currently uses earlier on? Twilight had to learn her spells and later comprehended the magic of friendship that would help her grow. Similarly Starswirl the Bearded is what some would say the Twilight of his time. He made an impact yet never became an Alicorn because he did not understand friendship. He did not understand something, and as a result was limited. So here we are on my Final Thoughts: Twilight is a powerful being, but we have to realize that she has limits. She may have potential hidden magic, but that still shows limits as she can't achieve it yet. 3 possibilities are presented to us 1) Twilight's limits are self-imposed. I had an discussion with someone else and the idea was presented that Twilight may have made mental blocks or someone made mental blocks to prevent another surge of power (see the "Cutie Mark Chronicles" episode) from happening. This was probably done to keep others safe (strange theory, but possible). 2) She is limited to how much magic she herself is able to produce before she collapses (how much is that is anyone's guess). 3) A more likely idea is that Twilight may have limitless power, but is limited to what she knows and understands. She can grow stronger after her knowledge increases or her understanding how things works grows. And isn't this what the show is about. Twilight Sparkle, a young mare who was limited by herself, discovers the magic of friendship and grows as a result of her experiences. Slowly shaping her way to the princess she is today.
  20. Not much going on. School is put for me so summer break has begun

  21. •Radios •Television sets (they had a tv news programming in the comics) •Clockwork ponies (or a clockworks city, that would be cool. It can happen, an ancient city that lost its technology long ago isn't a far fetched idea). •A video camera (that had a movie theatre) Maybe I'll come back later for more
  22. Sorry for being late but Happy Mother Day (I you have Hispanic family like me, then it's today, If not ignore this)

  23. I would buy it. Hell some of my favorite video games where side-scrolling beat-em ups. So yes I would buy this in a flash. (Seriously Hasbro you can make money using this idea).
  24. Really? Death treats? Is that what they are doing these days? You know I wonder why people would come to this. Not because it's over the top and insane. No that's not the reason that's strange. Two things: 1) People overreact over a death threat. Okay I know it's natural to overreact, but sometimes there people are per the top that you can't take them seriously. There have been death threats over stupid things since as ok as I can remember. And people take them seriously?!? 2) Another thing that's strange is the the people who make the death threats do it as of they will make a difference. Oh I'm mad at something I guess I should make a death threat, wait it changed nothing, oh well that's life kids. Makes no sense. Also isn't wierd that when one person in the fandom does something like this then suddenly all members of the fandom now act like this? I don't something I noticed.
  25. It depends for me The legend of Zelda series had things that where produced that where considere cannon to the storyline. (However I admit that all Zelda fans want to forget CD-i Zelda games). Anyways depending on how things are they could be canon. Unless there Is a cop-out a the end, then that would be stupid. Anyways I'll wait and then make judgments.
