AspenSwift 153 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 (edited) Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer, but I can't get excited about the 100th episode. Honestly, the whole episode will just be a load of fanservice, and if there's anything I hate about MLP, it's fanservice. MLP's lowest moment, to me, was when it made the stupid Dr. Whooves thing canon in Fall Weather Friends with the Doctor and Rose. That's not even a reference, it's just stupidly pointing out something that was out of place and unnecessary. I will bet money that, on the 100th episode, the writers will do something that just pisses off the community to no end. When they had to change Derpy's eyes during The Last Roundup, which they did to NOT GET SUED, the community still were mopey about it. I bet that the writers will, I don't know, turn Octavia's cello into a viola and the world will explode. It's gonna happen. Anyway, this doesn't mean that I won't watch the episode, I'm just saying that if Bronies actually controlled MLP, nothing good would happen, and so far it sounds like this will be an episode "for the bronies," so to speak. Pardon me if I withhold my enthusiasm. Sorry, I ran out of Wheaties this morning and had to pour a bowl of grumpy-O's Anyway, please tell me what you think about the "100th episode."

Megas 28,148 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I've already said my take on the 100th episode. But basically, I'm not looking forward to it, and everything I've heard about makes me even less excited. And I don't like how they're leaving out the mane 6, I mean they're the, well, main characters, and to leave out the main characters from such a milestone like the 100th episode just isn't right. If this part is true though, then I can look forward to seeing Cranky Doodle Donkey and Steven Magnet at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you have to say and I agree, however, since this is the 100th episode. It should go into syndication right? Which means the older episodes will be available on new channels. Right?

Guest May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I don't understand what you mean really. I for one am stoked for this episode as this is an episode I have wanted for a very long time now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,339 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I'm looking forward to the one hundredth episode. I bet it'll be a lot of fun. 3 Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[NULL] 907 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I'm not really looking forward to the episode either (although so far this season has convinced me there's at least some chance the episode will be good). However, would it really be a big deal if the recycled musician character asset used a viola? And isn't fan service only bad if it's used as a substitute for competent writing?

Blue Moon 6,345 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I'm looking forward to it as well. It sounds like a lot of fun, and it's always nice to have nice and fun episodes every once in a while. Plus, background ponies are a pretty big part of the show's fandom, so it'll be cool to see what they do in this episode. I have faith in the writers to come up with something good. 1 Autumn Blue Moon Clear Skies Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight 7,291 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 It's like any other episode of the show for me so I'm looking forward to it. It seems like it'd be a fun episode, I just want some Octavia really. matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celli 4,349 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I'm cautiously optimistic about it. I honestly don't know what to expect. I can however expect some uproar over some things. eg. headcanons being shattered, and some people will probably complain about massive fan-pandering. Which is understandable, if they go overboard. I just want a fun, slice-of-life episode with minimal, or at least, unintrusive fan-pandering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suukorak 354 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I can understand your worries here. Whatever the writers chose to do, I hope they didn't sacrifice an interesting episode just so that they could show such-and-such fan favorite character. No matter how many Derpy / Vinyl / Octavia / Lyra / Luna / etc. references they make, if the episode's not well done, it'll be crap. Then again, even with no fan-service or references, it's possible to make a great episode that most people will greatly appreciate. The fan-service won't inherently mess up the episode, only if it's overdone or used as a substitute for something interesting. Basically what SpaceOnion said, I guess. 1 It's a bug and a feature!

Jangocoolguy 433 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 (edited) Personally, I'm neutral. Not excited, but not dreading it either. They usually have the BIG stuff during the premieres and finales. And, well, this just fell in between. I trust the writers not to make a ton of pandering, but fanservice (the original kind, not one many people think of) is sure to be on the menu... What I AM dreading is how the Herd will go apeshit at the fanon destruction this episode will likely to cause... (even though they bought it on themselves) Edited May 19, 2015 by Jangobadass "It's like I found a piece of myself I didn't even know was missing!" How do you think WE feel?!

Shanks 10,817 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 Fanservice can indeed go badly, I won't deny that but that dosen't mean it has to or that it will. I am looking forward to it actually. Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJLeeTeam 914 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 We'll have to see. I mean we've had several episodes that focus on the CMC, so it's only one episode. I think 100th episode would be the best way to place it because if it was just a normal episode there would be nothing particularly special and they save all the big events for the season finale anyway.

Alleviate 342 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 This season's rocked so far, despite my expectations after last (things were getting a bit weak, plotlines were virtually non-existent...) So I think it'll be good. Be nice to see what the writers do, 'cos I have a feeling it'll be them just having fun, so what if it's at our expense? It'll probably be a riot anyway!

Superstars111 79 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I hadn't even realized that it was coming up. I know very little about it, but I can't say I'm any more worried about it than I am with normal episodes. I don't tend to make theories about the background ponies. I prefer to analyze how things work. I have my thread on how Cutie Marks work, and I also like theorizing about various other aspects of the show. Which means that, to be honest, this actually seems like a slightly safer episode for me. My main theories involve Cutie Marks, and while this season has already been a treasure trove of information, it would worry me if somepony wrote an episode that completely messes with the consistency of the story (which has happened multiple times by my least favorite writer, who doesn't seem to understand the characters very well. -_- ). While I do agree that I'd like to see the mane six in the 100th episode and it doesn't quite seem fair to them, I still think they'll be able to do something interesting with this.I wouldn't be surprised if the wedding was Cranky Doodle and Matilda, I will say. -Superstars111, the Grand Master of Nerdiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMarkz0ne 962 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 Expect fan service, its a milestone occasion and that will happen. I want to see the background ponies actually SPEAK for once.

Mesme Rize 15,692 May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I don't care about bg ponies. But already doomsaying this episode is the worst you can do, because your emotions can betray you from it's actual quality. Maybe this will actually be the best episode of the series. Who knows? Wait and see is the name of the game. 6 My OC Mesme Rize: >https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/mesme-rize-r8777 Thank you Randimaxis for this Wonderful Avatar.
