Comparing NOW to Season One
colt_following replied to colt_following's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I might agree with that- I feel like during those seasons, everyone was still 'settling in' and trying to find the right direction to take the show. I think it's cool to watch straight down from season 1 to now and notice the subtle progression. But it's jarring to see how differently they handled things years ago, before they *got it*. Although I do feel like there is a lot less focus on the individual personalities of characters now, particularly Twilight and Rainbow. -
Hey, guys! Today I decided I'd go back and watch some older episodes, since I now have much more insight on how to view characters and show components particularly episode one. The first thing I noticed is that the music was ALL different- felt a lot more Johnny Test, both in how it sounds and where it's placed. Man, I hate Johnny Test. Another is that overall I feel like the show treated itself a lot more like a kids show than it's willing to do now- like the show has matured with this fandom, and it's come to encompass deeper, more relevant issues and take off the sort of 'glitz & glamor' that lots of kids shows seem to have these days and actually dig into something more tangible and relatable. In the first episode, Twilight was a JERK! I know that's used to show how much she changed, but WOW! Also, Spike's voice felt a bit higher and more childlike, I want to say Fluttershy had a sliiiightly different design (like her eyes were further apart and had thicker lashes) and AJ's voice is just a little different. But this is just a general thread to discuss then versus now... If you guys catch anything, I'd LOVE to hear it because this showed has transformed since season one.

I used to UTTERLY DESPISE that five-note jingle they've had for years. I really didn't know about the show or about bronies until my brother (a sort of anti-brony) told me about it maybe two years ago. I thought I was just sort of a weird fandom, and went on, business as usual. I spent a LONG time *seeing* the characters after that but I think at some point I wanted to see why there was such a hype about this show. I started watching from the beginning and then successfully fed my addiction for the following 4 weeks. I LOVE MLP

Which pony least lives up to her element?
colt_following replied to Ezynell's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I honestly (pun intended) argue for Applejack only because she doesn't really get to display her element much; HOW OFTEN is she shown in a situation where she needs to be honest to save a life or improve someone's life? Not enough, really. I know she plays the 'straight mare' role, but her expertise really seems to float more around "courage", because I feel like it's not often we see her struggle with honestly (as ALL of the others have had a fair amount of direct opposition to their element) -

Does anyone think Twilight Sparkle is a Mary Sue?
colt_following replied to EmilyLeah94's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I think I feel as if she doesn't HAVE to work as much now. I feel like the moment she 'graduated' to a higher state of being, the focus turned to making other characters get to that level of understanding the 'magic of friendship'. Season 4 showed a few of her personal struggles and I feel like they overall became more dynamic- less about being a good student to a pony she looks up to, and more about making an impact on those who look up to HER. ^^ HOWEVER I do feel as if lately she's shown having no flaws whatsoever. Basically a carbon-copy of Celestia. A change I DON'T like.- 149 replies

Which alicorn do you think is best to rule alone?
colt_following replied to Splendormane's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Shoot. Celestia is the only one who ACTUALLY is good enough, I think. She's been doing a fine job for this long. Why fix something that ain't broke? Twilight seems to still be a bit in her 'student' mindset (plus she's not huge like Celestia, Cadence and Luna XD) Luna is a bit unpredictable, I would say. Cadence is just useless. Not a ruler at all, to me (at least the show version. The comics give we a different spin)- 45 replies

Is Discord a dangerous sociopath?
colt_following replied to Conred's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Discord's just gotta learn the Magic of Friendship ^^ Nah, but for real, he does. We never got to see how the Discord/Fluttershy friendship REALLY plays out and this episode gave us a chance to. We get to see just how much Discord still needs to learn. His selfishness in this case reminds me of Rainbow Dash... he just happens to be ultra-powerful. I'm certain he wasn't going to truly go villain! Notice that his aim the WHOLE time was to get Fluttershy's attention because of his jealousy. I don't think that's evil, but I do think he went *way* far with the transdimensional portal. Again, just his jealousy. I don't think he should be banished/turned to stone or anything; he's just not ready to take off the social training wheels. -

The Boondocks is a pretty great show, and even better for us black folk. I find myself watching The Cleveland Show quite a bit lately. -

spoiler What's up with season 5 and Cutie Marks?
colt_following replied to ponytheorist's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
actually, that's a sweet idea- a holographic Apple Bloom figure where her cutie mark changes depending on what like you look at it in! I kid, of course. I'm hoping it's because they plan to delve a bit deeper into cutie marks. I have loads of questions about them and they clearly are important in many ways, beyond merchandising... they're ACTUALLY almost Equestria's equivalent to reaching puberty or having a birthmark. it's weird that I NO long feel weird saying 'cutie mark'.- 34 replies
