  2. I haven't personally played it, but I have seen LPs of the first two episodes. And consider it one of my favorite games of all time, and easily Telltale's best. Can't wait to see episode three when I find the time.

  3. Following the mess that was Princess Spike, it dawned upon me that Spike is the only significant male supporting/lead character in FiM. Big MacIntosh is relegated to Applejack episodes and otherwise barely speaks or does enough for us to know much about him. Prince Shining Armor while playing an important role as Twilight's big brother, is often notably absent and almost always otherwise plays second fiddle to Princess Cadence. 

     

    While Discord is worth mentioning as a major male character, he doesn't fill the role as a supporting or lead character like Spike does. Discord warrants a major discussion of his own.

     

    That leaves us with poor Spike, who consistently appears not just with Twilight, but with the rest of the Mane 6 and in the openings. Every season there's about 2-3 episodes devoted to or involving Spike. He's also consistently appeared in the majority of episodes, and I don't mean as a background character either.

     

     

    Sadly that clip sums up Spike's role in the series, unintentional as it may be. He's a perpetual, doormat, punching bag, scapegoat and running gag. His character is rarely given the true respect it deserves both by the writers and characters on the show. Spike is thus stuck with being very virtuous and good-hearted, but stuck with poor characterization as a child and at the receiving end of both jokes and blame as Princess Spike shows.

     

    Beyond Spike we really don't get much either in terms supporting characters. Big Mac is simply too much of a second fiddle to Applejack and even Granny Smith to have much impact and Shining Armor is Cadence's bitch. Discord does show a lot of potential as a major male character, especially given his unique status as an anti hero, but time will tell how much of a role he can play.

     

    FiM is still obviously directed at "little girls" and hence the protagonists are all female and I know some are hyped up on the "girl power" feminism aspect of the show. But if the show is to have male characters, they should at least get equal respect and not relegated to neglect and just gag roles a la Snip and Snails. If Spike really is a dragon, I insist that the show actually treat him more as one and not some as some pony pleasing whipping boy.  :mustache:

     

    The title of this post worried me, and was kind of misleading. There are actually a good amount of quality male characters in the show. The issue is that they are under utilized, or utilized poorly. Let's look at some of them and think of how to make them better. 

     

    (1). Big Mac - Give him more screen time, actual speaking roles, and expand upon his personality.

    (2). Spike - Make him always act like he does in Lesson Zero 

    (3). Shining Armor - More screen time and important roles that showcase his character well

    (4). Discord - More roles like MNFBKD and less like Three's A Crowd

    (5). Snips & Snails - Give them actual character development, characterization, and real personalities. 

    (6). Doctor Whooves - More screen time (that's it as he's an amazing character)

    (7). Pony Fathers' - Give some more screen time and actual characterization/development to them

    (8). Various Colts - Same as above

     

    The only real problem is how they're written. They are quality characters (with maybe the exception of Snips and Snails), but they just have to be expanded upon and made more relevant. I for one want desperately to see an episode starring Big Mac. Not as a secondary role, not supporting cast, but as the single mane character of the episode. The focus. And he has to have meaningful, well-written dialogue and be shown in a positive light.

  4. In my opinion, season five has been the best so far. If the entire season continues like this, it'll easily be my favorite. I mean, there's only two episodes I consider to be of lesser quality. Appleoosa's Most Wanted, which was just meh but not actually bad. And Princess Spike, which was a little better than AMW, but not by much. Every other episode has been great to glorious for me. Especially Party Pooped, which overtook A Friend in Deed as my favorite episode of the show.

  5. I'd like to see something along the lines of a spin-off series. Maybe have it take place in the future and focus on the CMC. Or even maybe a continuation of FiM that just happens at some time in the future. Heck, maybe even a prequel series. I'd like it to be connected to FiM in some way basically.

  6. A member of the fandom, Adam "GalaxyStar" Smith, took his own life due to bullying over his YouTube videos and fimfiction. At only 19 years old, his life ended much too soon, and it’s horrible to see things like this occur. While some may say that there isn’t much we can do anymore, I say different. I just subscribed to his YouTube page. I know nothing will come out on it anymore, that’s not why I did it. I subscribed as a sign of unity within the brony fandom, as a sign of love for my fellow bronies and pegasisters everywhere. I will also be following him on fimfiction.net and will be spreading the story of his tragic death around to everywhere I can. Let’s work together and make sure this doesn’t happen again. Let’s be there for each other and help each other get through the pain and misery that others bring on. Let’s do it for GalaxyStar, and all other bronies and pegasisters who have lost their lives thus far.

     

    Here’s a link to GalaxyStar’s YouTube channel and fimfiction.net account. Subscribe to him on both in support.

    - People thinking I'm weird for liking cute things
    - People thinking I'm weird for NOT liking fps games

  8. With CR, you don't wanna know

     

    Um...ok then, lol. BTW: isn't there a brony on the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses website? I just thought of that. I think one of the reviewers there did a two part review on the history of My Little Pony.

    TBH threads such as these really shouldn't be posted. While I think reviewer channels are pretty useless as everyone should be able to get the finer points of a children's show it's another to go after people who create such content and criticize them. Then who's next? Musicians, artists, or writers? As soon as anyone puts enough effort into this fandom to create fannon to be horse famous people begin to start critiquing and criticizing them and yes we don't need to create such drama. It just seems that we drive people out with this incessant negativity.

     

    Post what and who you LIKE if you want to start a thread with what you recommend but don't feel you need to start a thread to COMPLAIN about those who take the time to MAKE fannon while you sit on your ass and criticize it. It's so self-centered and toxic to do so.

     

    There's nothing wrong with discussing things you don't like. Yes, these reviewers do put effort into this fandom, but that doesn't mean we should just sit by and stay silent when we believe they've done wrong. I'm a reviewer myself, and I THRIVE off of feedback, both positive and negative. Negative feedback helps promote growth for reviewers, and quite frankly is necessary. I'm not only for it, but I encourage my viewers to tell me if I did something wrong, or just poorly in general. If people leave the fandom or reviewer community because of negative criticism, that's on them, not the people critiquing them. It just means that they can't handle negative criticism, which as noted, it necessary for growth as a reviewer. Also, just to note, I'm also a writer, which you mentioned. I encourage criticism in that field as well.

  9. It's not that, I'm ok if someone doesn't like the show anymore. But it's the fact that he continues to watch it. Kind of like CR. 

     

    Also some of his reasons for hating episodes are like Wondebolts Academy for the Wonderbolts not being like the military before (even though they have in like Secret of My Excess.)

     

    CR? 

     

    Maybe he just has hope that it'll get better in the future? IDK, I guess I just can't say since I don't really know him, lol. 

  10. Byter is probably the most negative of the brony reviewers. He hates almost every episode after season 2. I'm serious, I looked through most of his season episode "reviews" and he liked only like 2 episodes. Even people who say that season is their least favorite at leas liked more than 2. Also, he seems to be one of those people who you think would of left the fandom by now since he seems to hate the new episodes.

     

    Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Does he give actual reasons to why he doesn't like the newer episodes though?

    He always is the first 3 people to review an episode. He has some weird Robotic voice thing as a co-host...it's horrible..

    My Little Pony Maud Pie Review:

     

    I'm not a fan of the "changing static image" style (unless it's done well), and I feel this is just...meh. I've heard worse, but I've obviously heard A LOT better.

  11. I DON'T CARE..but she is reaaalllly bad.

     

    Anyways my least favorite has to be Stupid Private or Byter.

     

    I've seen Byter mentioned quite a bit. Never heard of him before. Also, I don't know Stupid Private either. Lol. Not sure if I want to look them up.
