  1. DBZ is one of my favorite anime series. I like that they spend a lot of time training because power is not and should not be an instant thing. That being said I don't mind joking about the series. DBZ abridged is a little on the mature side for some of its jokes but sums up the characters and the conflict in an entertaining way.
  2. Thoughts while watching. "...well when you don't know how to develop a character give them a new class..." Twilight lost her unique character over the course of season 3 and the finale makes me believe that they did not have a clear idea of haw to develop her as an individual and just made her a mary sue proxy for the viewer instead. I hope that season four starts with everything is falling apart because of her transformation and we see that a person has power because of who they are and what they choose to do rather than their form. I had to listen to a crazy woman who believed that her god would reward righteous women by turning them into men on judgement day because she believed that the male form was well I started to block her out and continue my day. The arguments for Twilicorn sound the same to me.
  3. Do you mean something like this? Because that would also be a great setup to deAlicorn her. Why don't you make more artificial alicorns? Why don't we see more alicorns? How did the changelings and windegos come into being? It would give the opportunity for inner mono log and exploration of how things can be taken too far.
  4. Given the length of time necessary to create an episode they might not have known if there would be a season 4 when they were planning how to end season 3. Popularity is only valuable to a company if it means increased revenue and profit. A company has to make sure it is going for the highest revenue to investment ratio for each project. Once they knew they would get another season they could expand on future plans. I have no doubt that the transformation was also promoted by Hasbro for their toy line. Personally I do not consider physical changes to be character development. How they respond to those changes and their relationships with others is what counts to me. Goku turning super saiyan was not character development. The change of Picalo and Vegeta from evil to good was character development. Twilight has the most growth and development in the first season and the first two episodes are in my top 10 for the series. Twilight as a character lost many of her defining characteristics in many of the episodes and became more generic. She has shown in the past that she does not need to be an alicorn to solve complex problems. She has shown that as a group her friends are arguably more powerful than the princesses except for limited and exclusive powers even without using the elements of harmony. I think Celestia realizes that she is not that great of a leader except as a figure head. She is benevolent but is not an example of the different aspects of harmony like the main six are. It would be better if at the end of the series Twilight did take over the responsibility of leading Equestria not as an alicorn princess but as herself. Leadership and choice is part of every pony no matter what kind they are. They don't have to wait for the direction of a higher race or rely on the power of an individual. Everypony with their own unique traits form communities that perform greater acts than the princesses. As a nonalicorn Twilight would exemplify the potential greatness in everypony and with her friends the value of many different abilities. It was not Celestia that solved the problems of the past but the Elements of Harmony. There was a time before the rule of the alicorns and there will be again. Viva la revolucion!
  5. I feel safe sleeping in a tent then next to my window. In a tent all directions are equally indefensible. In my room the window is the only weak point directly to the outside. I live in the rural half of a suburban area.
  6. I have watched a few but do not see any entertainment value. A fun calculation is to rate entertainment average over length of time and then calculate how much cost you relative to your pay. Lest assume you get $X per hour. That is how much your time is worth. How much money would you have earned working for the same length of time as the entertainment. You can directly calculate the entertainment value if you also weigh the values with a 1 to 10 enjoyment rank.
  7. No. When I earned the rank of Eagle Scout and went through the court of honor it was in recognition of my accomplishments and choices I had made. I did not become an Aryan. I have made the statement before and I will do so again. "I feel that the transformation and elevation undermines the value of friendship. She does not need to be an alicorn to express friendship. There is no limit to the quality of friendship based on form. Earth, unicorn, and pegisi can have the same level of friendship as an alicorn. The going forward there is now the problem that status as an alicorn will solve problems rather than the power of friendship. Each of the mane six are special not because of the type of pony or the fact that they wield the elements of harmony. They are special because their character/personality/behavior embodies an aspect of harmony. As a message to children I can not agree with it. The types of stories that the show uses are exploration into different aspects of the the elements of harmony. The problems are overcome because of those aspects. Each of the characters is different and their power levels are roughly equal. No one pony has all the powers of the others. Friendship acts as a glue for the other elements but is not all of them as a whole. The stories show value in difference and discorage superiority in all cases of a single form. The stories that can be told are not limited by not having an alicorn. Twilight does not need to be an alicorn to acheive these things. Things I want to see. 1. Twilights transformation adversely affects friendship throughout Equestria. 2. Friendships are only stable when Twilight is around. 2. A rift develops between Luna and Celestia. 4. the other five have to travel together in search of the cause while Twilight remains in Canterlot. 9. The five have to work together and demonstrate their element without friendship. 3. Discord gets a laugh when confronted and tells them what is going on. 4. Celestia becomes her own version of Nightmare Moon. 5. The five find out that something like this happened to create Nightmare Moon. 6. The other princesses occurred naturally. 0. Discord tries to solve problems. 7. Twilight is forced to flee Canterlot. 0. The five discover how to unprincess Twilight. 0. Twilight and the five meet up and discuss what must be done and what it means to twilight. 0. Discord buys time to the process and is apparently destroyed by Celestia like King Sombra. 0. Twilight is restored and the six confront Celestia 0. Celestia is defeated and restored by the Elements of Harmony. 0. Celestia looks like a younger version of herself. 0. Parts of Discord partially reform and he admits he could not pass up the opportunity. Discord cant be destroyed only trapped. 0. The illusion on Celestia is removed so she looks like normal. 20. You cannot force friendship. A true princess can only be created for a force by the force and their interaction with it itself. 21. While walking around town Twilight catches a glimpse of herself as a princess again in a reflection for a brief moment. She continues to meet up with her friends. 22. fade to black. "-me "I would like to see a situation of less than expectations with introducing a city state of alocorns who are not super fantastic like the princesses. Have the main six visit without being told what to expect other than it is where the princesses came from. Twilight has to use a teleport spell that Celestia teaches her. See an alicorn pulling a cart. Have a conversation where they are surprised that he is not a prince or something. They take turns being leader. Have the rest of the episode going around and seeing how ordinary the lives of the alicorns are. Not run down or super fancy like Canterlot. More along the lines of ponyville Have an alicorn ask what the princesses have been doing since they left. The overall message is that it does not matter what you are, its what you choose to do. A pony is not extraordinary or important because of what they are but who they are and what they choose to do with their abilities and talents."-me It reminds me of when the Germans declared that one of their athletes in the Olympic Games was not recognized as a Jew because she could fence so well. Celstia does the same thing that Twilight reverses in the earlier part of the episode. No one knows what their destiny is until it happens and every other time in the series some one tries to force it or direct it it goes wrong. It is not something I would share with my children. Twilight does not need to be an alicorn or a princess. Her actions are deserving on their own. There are other roles and ways that her character can progress without being Exalted.
