  1. Live: Exodus 2002 Steam: exodus2002 Just a note, if you add me then please send me a message telling me who you are from this forum. Also, I do not go on steam as much as I go on Live and do not have a PC mic.
  2. I pretty much agree with what everyone else is saying, about the characters, the setting, and things like that, but here are some of the things I will single out specifically that I don't always hear being mentioned. The characters: The characters just being awesome and well written is one thing, but consider the characters in context with what Faust wanted to do with the show. She is big on making more fictional female heroines, but she did something that you don't really see here, she succeeded. A major reason for me, awesome writing aside, was that she did it without having to say "Girls are awesome because guys suck." in some way, shape, or form. It's treatment of Introversion and Cynicism: Normally in a show about Friendship, especially one directed to younger audiences, you would probably expect the introverted cynic to be viewed as the devil incarnate. But that never happens, which is a pleasant surprise for me considering I am introverted and lean towards cynicism more often then not. Fluttershy and very possibly Twilight are introverted and then you have the cynical Cranky. But they got it right with Cranky because I would normally look at this scenario and think about how the person helping the cynic has an alternative motive than wanting the cynic to feel better. It also understands that forcefully shoving optimism into a cynics face will not always make them feel better (it can, but not always, it usually depends on why they are the way they are). The Setting: Equestria has a rather thick history and one would not know all of it's secrets or what it contains at a glance. There is a genuine mythology to it, and it is rather interesting in and of itself. There were probably others, but I do not think I remember them yet, perhaps I will post them later if there were any.
  3. I just found out about this forum today from Equestria Daily, how is everyone doing?
