What do you feel about Starlight over Sunset?
SomeRetroGeek replied to cider float's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Honestly, Starlight is one of the most boring, mundane and frankly lame characters we've seen in the series so far. She's not interesting, they keep bringing up her past as if making up for everything wasn't good enough, and it's generally getting annoying. I don't fully hate her, but I think she's a copypasta of Sunset, except she's in Equestria. -
I've just become sick of MLP redeeming it's villains. I was okay with Discord's reformation, but after they reformed Sombra in the comics and Starlight in the show, I just facepalmed. Sombra's turn to evil was amazing, and gave him so much more character. Starlight was a perfect pony villain, but now she's literally Sunset Shimmer in the pony world. I would've preferred Sunset to go back to the pony world at the end of Friendship Games, and occasionally return to the human world to help human Twilight. But instead, we get a fantastic villain go to waste, and be reformed. Seriously, wouldn't it have been awesome to see Starlight break the spell, and have the Season 6 opener be Sunset coming back and helping Twilight restore time?

Is Friendship Games Shining Armor too big of a jerk?
SomeRetroGeek replied to ggg-2's topic in Equestria Girls
Yeah, he did come across as a bit of a jerk, but we'll see what happens in Camp Everfree. Chances of him showing up again are pretty high, so maybe something will happen there that explains it? -
Need to get a move on with the scripts for FiT to be honest. And I need to start making animatics during summer. Fun times! ^^

Hey you! My name is Retro, and I'm here to discuss three things! Starting, now! 1) Slice of Life In Brief I made this parody video a while ago that was well received by about twenty people who watched it, and now, I did a new one, which is better and hopefully you enjoy it! 2) Friendship is Tragic: Applejack 'Friendship is Tragic' is an idea for a animated series I've had for a while now. It's basically the normal show, but with death, destruction, violence and a Scottish pony who drinks alcohol and will only be seen once! I'm currently writing the scripts for ten episodes, and then getting voice actors together, creating the animatic, and then starting to animate the first episode around the end of December. Not confirming a release date for the episode, but I can say this: Applejack puts cyanide in "them apples" and people die. And she lies about it, hilarity ensues and then more episodes happen that will make you laugh, cry and laugh again! Look forward to it, please! Anyway, I'm tired, and I want to go to bed. So, keep an eye out for 'Friendship Is Tragic' and watch Slice of Life in Brief, please!

I think this could actually be possible. It could be like Palpatine in the prequels, manipulating behind the shadows, whilst acting kind and polite, only to seize control of the galaxy when no one expected it. While it would never happen, if they did this with Celestia and made it work, as well as build a story around it, I would give the people at Hasbro medals for having the balls to even try a thing like that in the show. -
Taken a break from PArc to do mock exams. Will still be active on the forums though, just need to focus on these exams. :/

But she is canon? Equestria Girls is also canon and co-exists with the show, but in another universe.
-
Cool, if that's your opinion. G4 Brony here, I am not a fan of Equestria Girls. The best thing it did was Sunset Shimmer, who has basically been replaced by Starlight Glimmer for the show. Now they are pointlessly continuing the Equestria Girls movies, when really there isn't any need to do so when all the characters are perfectly fine to be left where they are.
-
They made FIM and Transformers. Besides the god awful Michael Bay films, they are in my good books. That is until Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber make guest appearances on the show as overrated pony singers. Don't do that Hasbro. And please stop making Equestria Girls movies. The show is fine as it is and doesn't need an excuse for girls to buy more of your products.

Anything's possible in the world of FIM. Changing one scenario can have a huge effect on that world as a whole, and that's something Season 6 should try and explore. Alternate universes are fun, for example, imagine a version of that universe where Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra and Tirek rule Equestria and all of it's surrounding nations. Amazing. I certainly believe Sunset would have been trusted to raise Twilight and would have helped stopped Nightmare Moon. Sunset would likely not be the element of magic, and that role would belong to Twilight still, but she would be trained by Sunset up until Season 4, if we change that event.

Will you go to see the MLP Movie?
SomeRetroGeek replied to Ponies4Bronies's topic in My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)
It's the MLP: FIM movie. Of course I'm going to see it! I'll probably see it with a friend who's into ponies, as I would look weird sitting in with a bunch of adults and children watching it and do not wish to express my Brony self except in clothing and on the internet because I'm that guy. -
movies/tv What Movies Do You Like Yet Most People Hate/Dislike?
SomeRetroGeek replied to spas-ticShotty 's topic in Media Discussion
Spider-Man 3 I really, really like this movie! It's actually my favourite in the Maguire trilogy, and yes, it has flaws, but so do the other movies! I thought Venom was great, Sandman was perfect and New Goblin was a great build up and worth the wait after the last two films. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Yes, the film definitely has problems, and people say it's not fun...but it is! It's also a character study into Superman and Batman, and really gets the audience thinking about these characters and builds up to a damn good fight scene that leads to DOOMSDAY! Seriously, Doomsday is badass in this film. Nothing wrong with the CGI on him at all! Ben Affleck is the perfect Batman, Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Woman and I instantly loved Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. -
I thought it was a pretty meh episode for me. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. Liked the song and the characters, but I was kind of hoping for Bulk Biceps character development from the teasers, and all I got was Knuckles from Sonic Boom as a pony. Feels like a filler episode to me, but written so it seems like it's important development for the CMC. -
Finally back from a hiatus, what's up everyone?

gaming Favorite Retro Videogame
SomeRetroGeek replied to PyroMotional-Pony's topic in Media Discussion
Mine's Sonic 3 & Knuckles. A perfect video game and nailed the 2D Sonic formula. Still holds up well today with music by Michael Jackson himself! -
Do You Buy MLP Episodes Or Watch Them For Free?
SomeRetroGeek replied to Astro Mambo's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I watch Seasons 1-4 on Netflix. For Season 5, I've either watched them on Equestria.TV or DailyMotion -
I'm curious. With Gravity Falls recently having an incredible ending, how would you want MLP: FiM to end? Personally, I'd love the finale to show what all the main cast and background characters are doing in the future. Kind of like something similar to the Simpsons 'What If?' future episodes.
-
Thank you. More people need to be aware of the situation with fair use on YouTube, and that unjustified taking down of videos that are fair use needs to stop. I'm just glad that myself and friends have managed to stay out of being copyright striked, and that hopefully more people will become aware of the issues.
-
Oh absolutely. If they don't go a bit dark with the story, I'll be surprised. But let's hope it doesn't go to the point where a major character dies. I think it's likely they will because it's the movie, and if they want to go a bit dark with it, they can, and Discovery Family can't stop them.
-
Well, we don't know if the names are canon, or if she has a brother. We'll have to wait until future episodes or when more info comes out about RD's family.
-
Right. Either I could squash this thing or it would kill me with it's adorable pink potato cuteness. I'm screwed on deciding which outcome, really.
-
Well, bye Gravity Falls. Don't come back for a third season. Or a continuation. Please. That'll ruin the ending.
