  1. So, I have not done a film review in a while (in fact I have not even made a blog post in a while), mainly due to not having as much free time and getting caught up in games! In any case, I'm here to re-boot my reviews with the brand new film that came out today: How to Train your dragon 2! So firstly, here is the trailer: Brief overview of the film: The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island's new favourite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the centre of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons. (credits to the youtube video for the synopsis). My Thoughts?: The plot was great, while I thought parts of the film where slow to progress (particularly in the middle), overall the plot was great! I can't tell you much more or it will spoil large parts of the film . The pacing of the film was, once again, was pretty spot on. Apart from maybe 20 mins in the middle of the film, the film was well paced with plot developments not feeling forced, and overall the story just flowed well. It was a serious film with funny moments. I feel like it didn't quite do the funny moments as well as it did in the first film, but it still nailed it most of the time. The serious parts of the film are what made it. They address many adult themes well, without making it horrible to watch from a child's point of view, and actually making me really care for all the characters and what happened to them. The way the film was filmed was exquisite. In fact, I don't think it could have been done any better! They manage to do flying shots in such a way that not only do you want to be in the film, but it actually make you feel like you are. This film absorbed me so much that it made it one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a long time in a cinema despite being surrounded by children. Rarely can you just go and enjoy a film and feel like your there without it being to over the top and breaking the immersion. Verdict?: ​Defiantly see this film if you can. It's funny at times, while being charming and absorbing. It addresses adult films in a way suitable to children, while still being enjoyable for both children and adults! 8/10
  2. Hahaha...yeah... I like the way it is, why mess with a winning formula
  3. They both have hats, which is awesome. The head says Trixi cause she looks cooler but then heart says Applejack because I like her ponysona more! Maybe just flip a bit to see which you get (Or get both )?
  4. Nice ! You did the right thing, It's often very scary sticking up for someone you don't know against others. Hopefully this will be the start of a wonderful friendship
  5. Hmm, currently I think the only really OP heroes is doom. He defiantly needs a slight nerf. Apart from that everything is pretty balanced and I don't have any major gripes with any other heroes Riki is underused but I don't think it's anywhere near OP.

    mega thread Anime Discussion Thread

    honestly you should branch out. The big animus may be good for keeping you going from a. Week to week basis, but some of the smaller ones are just so much better and of a much higher quality. ATM I'm watching no game no life ! Love it! I've watched lots of animes probably miria nikki is my fav (or maybe date a live) but they are both very different! I really need to make a list
  7. Took me a long time to make, I love pinkie pie and I find it funny that it's eating a plant with a smile (happy plant). The background was taken rom the comics and just fits well and rounds everything off
  8. I don't think the mane 6 should have relationships like that. It just ruins the show for me, it may as well be any other trashy child's tv show.
  9. It has defiantly changed. It got bigger, and people saw it as a way to get very popular for artwork. The reddit community has changed a lot, the main sub now is basically just spammed with the same artwork over and over from the same people, it used to be more about pointing out interesting things in the show and a news hub (but someone decided it would be a great idea to have 30 sub reddits instead of just one). Infact, the people changed, originally it was different, then at the end of S2 loads of people joined the fandom when MLP got hyped a lot and started to get outside news coverage. The people changed, and a lot of what the fandom was about was lost. It used to be about people enjoying the show, and then it became more about being a brony, and fighting with haters and trying to change the world views on gender equality ect. Thats the reason I came to the forum initially, I has started to dislike all the other normal brony meeting places (on-line), and people on here where more liek the original community. Don't get me wrong, its changed on here. There are many people who don't like the show or who don't watch it, but still consider themselves bronys. The great thing about this forum is that it has large sections where people who watch the show and enjoy talking about it can do just that, sadly places which got lost in many other areas of the fandom. I care now about the fandom because there are so many wonderful people in!
  10. I like tea It gives you that little kick of caffein that you need without being to much (like coffe) and you can drink it thought out the day ! I do need to be a bit more adventurous, i only really have normal tea at home despite trying and liking a lot of different teas when I try them at other peoples houses!
  11. Well if magic is as unruly as it seems at time, surely she would want to train anyone with exceptional ability to be able to help them controll it and try and get them to use the power in the correct ways. Tinfoil hat time!: Maybe we will find out there was a prophecy by star swirl of a chosen one who's name has something to do with the sun. She thought it was sunset shimmer at the time when I fact it was twilight sparkle? Tho that's massive theory crafting haha
  12. It turned her plain crazy >< she needs people to function! I get the hair thing, when I'm down or don't wash I don't gel my hair and it kind of deflates
  13. This is basically me I don't really have any allergies, but I do have slight hayfever when everything is in blossom!
  14. I love the game on the wii u and have played mk8. And stuff with freinds! It's great, fun to play and you can easily pick it up and play it ! I do have a 3ds xl and it's pretty similar, when you have a group of people together playing its epic! The wii u ans ds have kept the things that I liked most about consoles, playing with freinds and in the same room! Ps4 and xb1 focus less on this, and so I don't have neither, instead I have a PC which is more useful and has cheaper and better games over those.
  15. what if you have 2 birthdays !? My birthday is at the end on January ! So I'm a winter baby
  16. So you can't just upgrade laptops like that. Those parts are for a PC. To upgrade a laptop you basically need to just buy a new one. If your willing to buy those parts, for a bit more you could buy a motherboard/fans/case and just go for a full self built PC. The great thing about PC's is you can upgrade them, with laptops you basically can't, sorry.
  17. I have one of mini cadence! (well filly cadence). Will get a picture of it later to show ! More importantly, would cadence have her alicorn wings when she was a filly? My plush does but we don't know if she became an alicorn the same way twilight did or not.
  18. How could I have only just found this place ! Nice anthem !
  19. That website is so poorly done :/ I believe that there hearts are possibly in the right place, but that is not the way to do it! I mean, westboro baptist church are notorious. They are soooooooooo annoying that sometimes it really gets to me! I want to believe that they have there hearts in the right place, but they make it so difficult it unreal. I meet lots of not so nice people each day. A lot of people are very selfish, moaning at you for no reason, despite you not doing anything wrong. Impatient people really get to me tbh. They can ruin someone elses day just because they want to get somewhere or do something a few seconds faster.
  20. Like, I enjoyed the film and thought it was good but: It felt very long and to drag on a points. I liked the fact that they can now re do a lot and I thought the story was clever and worked well, but there are a few plot holes and a lot of weird unexplained stuff which just didn't seem to make sense! I guess that's the problem with time travel! It was probably one of the best x men fils, but no way near the best super hero film for me. Things like iron man and spider man and batman where all better in my opinion, but I do like the fact that men will now continue and they can do a lot more with it, so I look forward to future films
  21. How much is this? It looks so... Professional! I didn't think it would look as legit as it does
  22. The more you annoy them the less they want to annoy you Haha, but seriously, if you make the jokes yourself then they can't !
  23. In Date - a - live - SPOILER One of the characters gives his life to save another. It's pretty epic stuff, can't find a clip tho :c I find that all anime has much more depth to the characters then regular TV. There are so many heart wrenching moments in most of them!
  24. To truly love someone you have to allow them to take advantage of you (if they choose). That doesn't mean to be completely stupid, and obviously if they literally show no sign in changing then you stop. But in Dischords case, they have showed him love once and he became a friend with fluttershy, but only fluttershy as all the other ponies still resented him (which isn't fair, he was trying at this point). Also twilight knew that he had pointed her in the right direction with books within the show, AND he also seemed to finally understand after what terrek did to him. I would still give him a second/third chance!
  25. While I agree with what most of you are saying I actually think that Luna doesn't like Twilight as much as the others are they she starting to like her more I feel like there was some resentment there for a long time! Although the season finale does show that I think now they all love Twilight to bits and are putting all of their faith in her! I do like how all of the relationships have a subtle differences, for instance princess cadences being more like a sister and celestial being more like a mother!
