  1. Watched a stream and started reading the ROAN guidebook.
  2. The show likes to introduce new things and immediately forget about them, or never expand on it. Celestia has Blueblood and Cadance as a niece and nephew, but we never hear about if there's a genuine royal bloodline past Cadence. Sombra comes and goes and his time stasis is like it never existed, Tirek and his brother's past are mentioned in passing, the origins and history of Equestria are terribly lacking, and the Buffalo are now entirely irrelevant. Heck, the only recurring species are the griffons, donkeys, and dragons. That leaves the zebras, Saddle Arabians, Yaks, and Breezies without a second mention. There are multiple settings, regions, and cities on the world map that are never seen, and the Everfree (castle included!) are even starting to fade out. The writers need to come back and expand instead of just throwing out more promising-yet-abandoned ideas. I'm hoping these're covered by the movie, but that's a faint hope at best.
  3. I'm immediately posting my bad opinions!

  4. Both are very, very powerful in their own right, and they did fight to a stalemate in the finale, but Twilight just has more versatility than Starlight does. Starlight's been running a town under her own guise for years, but she's never expanded her knowledge and expertise past the cutie-mark stealing spell. She definitely has her own capacity to learn and build up in a short period of time. Twilight, on the other hand, has had magical training and refined her abilities with Celestia as her mentor. Magic and it's capabilities as a source of power, a tool, and a weapon have been the main focus of her life before and throughout the show. She's been the vessel of three other alicorns' power, helped defend against a changeling siege, and defeated Tirek (but that was with her friends as well, so that might be debatable). TL;DR, I'd say no.
  5. Ponies seem to have a mixed bag when it comes to understanding different people. Zecora was terribly ostracized while the Griffons and Saddle Arabians are respected, and the original three tribes had some pent up hatred for each other before they banded together. Even then, they were much, much better than how humanity reacts to foreign concepts. And it also depends on how biased the human is in terms of history. A full, all-views included history from the agriculture revolution to modern society would definitely be a rough ride for both parties. And they might want to leave out Animal Husbandry.
  6. Personally, I really like Spike as a supporting character and a main character, but he's never fully used to his full potential whenever he's involved. It's sad to see him being a punching bag. It never seems to occur that he's, well, a kid. Spike doesn't get a break or any room for mistakes, and he gets disproportionately large responsibilities for his status. As for vice versa, I can't bring myself to like Princess Luna past aesthetically. It's not a full blown hate, but all the hype around her is a little unexplained. She can and does have a lot of potential for future episodes, but her appearances aren't all that great.
  7. My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Applejack How did you find MLP Forums?: A friend migrated here and I decided to follow along after a little while to see the site for myself. It definitely impressed me enough to make an account. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I kept seeing pony art and images from folks back in mid-2012, and I caved in around 2013 to watch it. I ended up getting hooked after seeing seasons 1-2 and half of season 3, which led me to join in and even start roleplaying for the first time. I'm your typical RP gremlin that migrates in, really. I've enjoyed the show for three/four years now, and have seen all the events up to today. I'm moving here from the Tumblr RP scene, mostly from that area starting to die down from events that happened before I showed up. Too small and close-knit for me to feel comfortable, if that makes sense. If you want to hear anything specific, you're welcome to ask!
