  1. I think the way the show is handled now is just fine. It does a great job of catering to it's "actual" audience while still being plenty enough entertaining to us. I'm sure all of us have noticed the numerous nods to the brony fanbase through out the show. Also I just want to add if you want something that does cater more to bronies then the comics are the way to go. They're a tad bit darker in tone and really up the ante when it comes to the nods and references.

  2. Another episode that I liked. Haven't had any that I have loved yet though.

     

    Anyway as for the episode itself gotta say I really enjoyed how they decided to make daring do a real character. That was definitley a cool and unique idea I didn't see coming from them. Aside from that not much else to say really. I thought it handled everything it presented quite well especially the inclusion of smug face dash. Which is easily the best pony face since liar apple jack.

  3. Finally got around to watching the episode.

    Gotta say another enjoyable episode. Was fun seeing the mane 6 all in the same area but not actually knowing they were all there. Since because of that there sure was a lot of funny interactions because of it.

    Also the reveal at the end I have to give props to. I wasn't even thinking about it when they revealed who was on the Organ.

  4. My enjoyment from FiW first off comes from the production of it.

    For the most part it is well done as a parody series. Aside from that I take the series almost as a "What-If Adult Swim did MLP" and in that case it's just really enjoyable with all the jokes and everything else. Also of course the music is top notch. I do want to add though that most of the negative viewers indeed seem to try and take the show to serious it seems.

  5. Going for the Volumes and not the individual comics is just fine. Especially on amazon where they come out to be cheaper than buying individually for the most part. Not to mention if you want to collect you won't have to worry about as many issues all over the place.

     

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

    *NOTE*

    Anyone who ganders into this thread I want to add that currently the Digital Kindle Versions of all the single issue comics including the new ones are 1.99 which is a great price to grab them at. Especially if you don't mind the digital format.

     

    I was collecting them physically for awhile but it's just been a pain to keep up with the releases even with the online retailers.

  6. I actually bought the Bluray for it awhile back.

    I thought it did a pretty good job at covering most aspects of the fandom. I agree that I especially liked the part with the the military bronies since i'm one myself. Always nice to see more of that.

  7. Actually He did as much as What Nightmare Moon did in her reveal episode. If we take in account the stuff that he did in the past and the conflict that his traps did. Nightmare Moons biggest action was Making the night last forever(or should I say 5 minutes) and Breaking the elements of harmony which failed. Sombra Cursed an empire and its race, Defeated Shining Armor, and Nearly killed Spike. So Nightmare and Sombra did as much as each other in their episodes

     

    Funny enough I though Nightmare Moon's reveal was weak as well.

    That character was far more interesting when they brought her back for the comic series.

    For me the only baddies that have had sufficent build up have been Chrysallis and Discord.

    Regardless I don't find Sombra a bad villain just one I personally feel should be expanded upon.

  8. Not every villains needs to speak or have a complex backstory. I could name a lot of villains who were the same: Darth Maul, Firelord Ozai(He spoke but not that much), Janemba, The Nothing.

     

    Also Have anyone here ever heard of body laungue? I guess people who can't speak in real life and have to use signals are boring to hang out with as well

     

    That's the thing though. Even with all that you mentioned Sombra I felt was still lacking even with those taken into consideration.

    For his reveal episode he sure didn't do very much. I'm not saying he was terrible but considering the other villains revealed before him his reveal surely was lacking. Which is why I hope he is expanded upon in either the comics or season 4. That way people like me can put him up with the best of them.

  9. Sombra's biggest issue was he was presented as a big baddie.

    Yet he had no real dialog and any sort of back story presented about him was very weak.

     

    Sure the same can be said of the wendigo's but they weren't hyped up quite like he was.

    They're just "baddies" for the show. While Sombra is supposed to be akin to the likes of Discord and Chrysallis.

  10. I love trixie and was glad to see her more often in season 3.

    Really hope we get an episode in season 4 with her and twilight trying to be more friendly to one another.

    I still stand by my idea that we need more "background" ponies introduced into the group from time to time.

    It's not like we see all of the mane 6 in every episode anyway.

  11. Two Face is my all time favorite. 

    I love just how broken he is especially with his judgements all coming from a coin toss.

    It really adds to the character personally, especially considering his earlier life was nothing related to crime.

  12. I've seen a few

     

    Evangelion (My favorite of all time)

    Cowboy Bebop

    Soul Eater

    Watamote

    Attack on Titan (What's out anyway)

    B Gata H Kei

     

    I think that's about it from the top of my head.

    I like to stick with 26 episode series. I watch stuff like bleach but I hate how long they can get. I like 1 self contained story.

  13. For me paying attention to what I am watching is a must.

    However I notice that even I have trouble doing so if i'm not at the movie theater. There's just to many distractions and I always feel like I can be accomplishing other things while watching a movie or somethign at home. With that said I do make a very good effort at trying to not get distracted at all most of the time

  14. King Sombra still holds the crown for worst villain.

    No good villain should make you create your own backstory and ideas for them. You can have a mysterious villain such as the joker in TDK, but sombra wasn't even that. He was basically nothing more than a roadblock.

     

    Sunset Shimmer at least shows all her intentions and through the film you can see more of her and her emotions. But with that said even in the length of the film I wish she would've had more development. Hopefully she shows up again down the road.

  15. Saw it in theaters a week ago.

    Funny enough I was the only person in there aside from a family of 4 that came in 10 minutes after it started.

     

    Anyway I liked it. Definitely was not the end of the fandom like other said it would be. If I had any complaints it would all be directed at the final showdown. Mainly because it was a bit odd, especially sunset shimmers "evil" design. Regardless of that its still worth a watch for any fan. Hopefully well see another MLP movie hit theaters.
