There's nopony I love more!
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!
-
Okay, somepony put up this shot that they found on Discord from the G5 movie and… keep it together… *breathes* LOOK WHO IT IS!!!
I’m nearly crying right now. It’s just so good to see my heroes again! And don’t they look amazing like this!!! Words cannot describe how happy I am to see the Mane Six again. This style looks fantastic on them.
The Mane Six will live forever!Spoiler- Show previous comments 16 more

@TomDaBombMLP Wait, it's actually real?!
-
@Twilight Luna @Sparkly sparks I personally am not really trying to avoid spoilers. I know too much already. If this was G4 then I would definitely try to avoid spoilers. For me personally, I don’t mind if all of G5 gets spoiled. I of course won’t tell anypony what I’ve seen though because that wouldn’t be fair.
@Midnight Danny It’s real alright!

Gotta love their movie designs!
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

I’d like to ask everypony a question. I know there’s most likely a thread for this but I’d like to ask it here too.
Do you think that EqG is canon or not?
I personally think it’s not because of the fact that FiM never flat-out stated that it was. I’ve had this discussion quite a few times recently with people, not arguing but debating. They always ended with us agreeing to disagree. I’d like to mention a few points.
The moment that people always use to tell me that it is is the moment in Season Seven where the Sirens appear during that convoluted Pillars backstory that I never really followed. My argument is that I’d say it was just a little wink and nudge to the fans of EqG. (Not me) I wouldn’t consider that a confirmation that it’s canon unless they had anypony, probably Twilight, say that it sounded familiar or any reference to any human kind of thing. Because they never had that in that episode or any other for that matter, at least that I’m aware of, I wouldn’t call that a canon reveal.
This is my proof that EqG is not canon.
QuoteThis line wipes all 72 minutes of that film from the series bible:
"Last time you were [at the Cyrstal Empire], you got the Crystal Heart to Princess Cadance in time to save this entire empire from destruction!"
~Princess Twilight Sparkle
This means that the events of EQG couldn't happen before that episode, because Spike went to the Crystal Empire. And the movie can't come after this episode, because Twilight is used to flying and her royal title by then.
See? I’m sure people may also mention the fact that characters from it were thrown into the background of ‘The Magic of Friendship Grows’ in the series finale. But they only did that because the entire generation was wrapping up so that lone thing doesn’t make it canon either.
My own personal thoughts on EqG? I hate it and I will never watch it. I understand it’s not fair to say you hate something if you haven’t even seen it. But I’ve accidentally ran into enough pictures of it to make some kind of conclusion. I think they look awful, I never see the ponies I know and love in it. I think its trendiness (i.e. giving them modern technology), tendency to look like anime and stupid teenage romances (WHY?!) goes against all of FiMs timelessness. People will look back at FiM in ten years and will definitely never say ‘That looks so 2010.’ That’s one of the reasons why I love it so much and why it means so much. EqG will never have that, I just think it’s gross.
Please let me know whether you think it’s canon or not below.- Show previous comments 15 more

@AppleButt Same. Smart move.

@AppleButtDitto.

I can't believe Tell Your Tale comes out tomorrow! Where did the time go? From what we've seen so far, at the moment, I hate absolutely everything about it. There is still a chance that they may surprise us but I have this sinking feeling that it will just be another PL clone that nopony would ever ask for. Judging from the complete lack of promotion, I don't even know if Hasbro themselves have confidence in it. I know I'm being mostly negative but I just wish that studios that make kids shows will realise that this kind of style is a bad idea. I'm happy for anypony who does like it though!
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

@TomDaBombMLP I'm sorry. Hopefully, you'll like the other show more.
-
@Sparklefan1234 It will certainly at least be nicer to look at.
-
@TomDaBombMLP Looking on the bright side helps. That's why I've found "good" in TYT.
-
I was shocked to find out that people don't like Magical Mystery Cure. I think Twilight deserved to become an alicorn no matter what season it is. People also say it's too short but for me, it only went by so quickly because it was so good! It's one of the many highlights of the series for me and one of the best examples of the camaraderie between the Mane Six which is why I love it so much!
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

@Twilight Luna They weren’t true fans then if they left because of that.
And I’m not at all directing this at you but I’ve always hated it when ‘fans’ say that it was ‘just to make more toys.’ -
Truth be told hasbro doesnt really care about mlp is a lie.. because it gives them money. Yes they want money! If not they will end up firing a lot of people!
Mlp is always rushed they ony have like 20 mins for 1 episode. And they try to avoid being episodic. Who knows..it might be more problematic and maybe they did try.... (Good example is season 3 to 9). And it was experimental.. now maybe gen 5 qould be better because they have experience now from gen 4.
Hasbro didn't split the fandom... The fandom split itself.
And if the reason of the fall of mlp is season 3 then it wouldve ended in season 5 and didn't last till season 9. And if hasbro didn't really cared for the fandom they wouldn't have tried to please us adults and ignored us.
The mistake hasbro done is actually listened to the fandom... They should've learned that the fandom is as chaotic as pinkie pie and discord put together.

What is Spike pointing at? It's our last Guess The Flank (Fetish). We have a large star surrounded by five little ones, representing her amazing friends. Who do the stars belong to?
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

@Will Guide That's why it was an inside joke. My weekly game is about finding the photoshopped fake image, and when people find them all, I sometimes throw in joking little comments to make them second guess themselves. It hardly ever works, but it's fun none the less. Since you are able to spot the real deal so well, you should play along with the rest of us.
-
@Will Guide It was from Made In Manehatten and the game was about guessing from a list of images from certain episodes which one (or two) was fake. You should try them, they’re a load of fun!

@Will Guide I've grown to like Gallus over time if that helps.

@Sparklefan1234 I noticed.

Well everypony, I think you probably saw this coming because of my inactivity as of late but I think the time has finally come for me to at least temporarily step down from the forum. When I joined two years ago, I could never have thought in a million years that I could have made so many incredible friends and gained so much confidence through talking with fans of something I love. This forum is just fan heaven for me. Lately though, because of the bugs that still aren't resolved, I haven't been enjoying it as much as I did before. I haven't fallen out with anypony by the way, just wanted to emphasise that.
When I hear that the forum gets fixed, I will hopefully come back and come back strong. Until then, it's very important for me to keep in touch with all of my awesome forum friends. That's why I gave in and got Discord and with that, I'm in a G4 group and I feel closer to my forum friends than ever. One last time, I love all of you very much and I've had such an amazing time. I hope to see you all again if and when the forum gets fixed.
This isn't goodbye...

Nothing better than seeing them together!

@TomDaBombMLP Was that too much? Hope it wasn't too shocking.
You probably want to read on, then... What I have to say next is even more surprising...
SpoilerNews flash: You're an awesome friend and I appreciate you.
-
@Oni Equine And you are an absolutely amazing person and a fantastic friend.
-
My thoughts exactly! Can we burn the Student Six as well while we're at it? Watch them melt!
Okay, okay. Here's something nicer to look at.
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

@Will Guide cozy didn't destroy friendship.... She mirly used it.
-
Her actions brought back the Wendigos. Very symbol and force of nature that symbolizes cold distant and lack of friendship. Not to mention her actions almost destroyed all magic so that only she would have all the power.
-
I was pointing out that she didn't destroy friendship... She was using it. And the windigoes pop out when the 3 tribes are not in unity....that is it's only reason the earth po ies still have friendship with their kind. If not then their species would've become solitary creatures. It wasn't cozy glows action... It was the 3 of their actions.
So season 8 cozy didn't bring out the windigigity.
Just removed magic.
Season 9 the 3 of them destroyed unity of the 3 tribes. Didn't really destroy friendship.
Brought out the windigigity.
Windigigity was sealed throught the bonds of the 3 tribes. The hearts warming soul( the fire heart thing)
Remove the bonds remove the seal.
So maybe one reason why there won't be a windigo on season 5 is the bonds where not broken but forgotten... And if maybe if a fight occurs on the tribes in season 5.... Which maybe has to do with the jewel heist... Might bring out the windigo....

How cute is this?

@Will Guide I like her but not when she takes over for so many episodes. I really like her a lot though.

Apologies for being very quiet so far today. Just enjoying the sun.

But AJ, I thought you were the most down-to-earth!
I don’t even know what that picture of Twilight is!- Show previous comments 11 more

@Twilight Luna Yep, Rarity is a lifesaver!

My three chickens just got killed. The worst thing is we don't even know what did it.
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

I saw a topic on EqD on the possibility of the Mane Six returning in G5. I was quite saddened to find that most people in the comments were against it. Do you seriously not want to find out what happened to them? I want to know what happened so badly!
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

Well, I would like to know what happen with the Mane 6, too, but it is called a "New Generation" after all, so it is to be expected that this new movie will be focusing on the new characters as opposed to the old, unless it's for a flashback or cameos.
We'll just have to wait and see for the G5 movie give us an answer.
-
@Astral Soulis putting his one foot just next to Flutter's one :>
Good Morning :>
-
It seems people want G5 to be distinct from G4, not just an "extension" of it. While I generally agree with this statement, I still like the idea of the Mane 6 returning, like the Pillars did in FiM. But they shouldn't play the main roles, they would be older, rarely appear on the screen, and act as mentors to the new generation.

Will you also be part of the movie, @TomDaBombMLP?
-
@Heasol That smug face
Fluttershy the movie would be awesome!
-
@Heasol I’d love to. I’m something of an actor myself.
-
I just told them I love them and this was their reaction. They're just pretending to look surprised. I mean, we all know AJ's a bad liar, just look at her! I'm glad Pinkie's smiling.
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

@FlutteringGuardian Thanks for that. I get some of my facts from a random facts generator, so some are bound to be incorrect or outdated.
Could it possibly be one of those laws that people never talk about because no one upholds it? Many places in the world have laws like that.
-
@Samurai Equinenope there never was a law like that

@Will Guide I agree I don’t think it’s fair to hate on the writers, and stuff.
Why would them becoming alicorns not make them special though? They all played an instrumental role in keeping Equestria together. It’s their specialness that earns the title for them in my opinion. I’m not fully on board with the idea, but I still think they deserved more either way.

I would've liked this twist. I love our adorable bow-wearing crusader!
Good morning everypony! Have a great day!

I keep repeatedly trying to talk my mother into watching the MLP Movie with me so she can see what it’s all about, but she doesn’t want to.
She’s obsessed with watching Mamma Mia but for whatever reason, she doesn’t want to watch this one. At least our ponies can actually sing.

I’m sure my mom would watch it with me. She did watch a few episodes of the first season with my girlfriend and I. She thought it was cute but not sure it was her thing lol. I remember Winter Wrap Up and Dragonshy being a couple we watched. She got a kick out of Fluttershy scaring the dragon with her stare.
I may get her to watch it with me sometime.

@AppleButt Good choices. Funny enough, those were also my choices should she ever decide to watch an episode!

Was watching the Pony Life premiere. It hasn't even been on for five minutes and I've already left.

This is gonna kill MLP...
- Show previous comments 10 more

I did watch the first 5 minutes as well and I feel more similar to how @TomDaBombMLP felt. But I don't think it will kill MLP, because the old stuff will stay the same way and not get lost of course. I made bad experiences with other companies before, things always change over time. I just appreciate the good things we already have. Sure, generation 5 has potential to become good in a more familiar way. But it's still always possible to get disappointed.
What I say now is not meant in a hateful way, just talking about my own taste. Pony Life has a different feel. It is loud and chaotic (annoying to me). It was more like an endurance test and I had to quit after 5 minutes. It's not the kind of MLP that made me become a brony. I don't like the style, the pace. Nothing, actually. It's something entirely else, for people with a different taste and humor.
Really, not hating or anything! It's just not for me and will not talking about or follow this Pony Life stuff in the future. I'm happy for everyone who enjoys it!
