Do Ponies Bleed?

Recommended Posts

i was wondering if they can actually bleed.

tirek was technically a vampire. but he absorbed magic instead of drinking blood which may be the pony equivalent.

thoughts?

They probably could since they're living beings, however, due to the nature of the show, they can't show any form of bleeding from any of the characters in the show, lest they want to give the show a TV-MA rating just for showing so much as a scar.

Yes but yeah the show would be be hindered if bleeding was shown. In Samurai Jack even though the cartoon had a dark story and had slavery and death in it they weren't allowed to show any blood in the show until the 5th season when adult swim got their hands on the show. When it was on CN they couldn't show jack killing human beings or living things which is why Jack would pretty much only kill robotic characters and Aku(who doesn't have blood) in the show. In the 5th season though they were allowed to show jack killing people and they even made it part of the plot for jack to come to terms with having to kill aku's human minions. jack is also shown bleeding profusly in the 5th season as well with more mature themes despite samurai jack being far from being a child friendly show itself in the beginning. In mlp's case it is in a similar situation despite dark themes being in mlp fim as well as in g1 when cartoons were less regulated on what could be done in them in the 80s. unless mlp fim or the new mlp show is targeted for older audiences i doubt that blood will ever be shown just so it can be at least family friendly which is what Faust intended and Hasbro did. that is why season 1 is pretty tame to lets say season 4 or season 7 is because the team behind the show had decided to introduce more mature and dark themes into my little pony g4 as time went on.

Of course they bleed. We all know ponies are life forms that have blood. If Tirek was a vampire, he was a vampire of magic, like other vampires in pop culture such as a salt vampire in Star Trek as one example. It doesn't mean the ponies don't have blood, it simply means Tirek was siphoning off something else they had and leaving the blood alone.

Absolutely they bleed. I had a friend with horses and one of them rolled over onto a deer antler and it impaled their back. That horse bled for a long while.

I'd say they probably do. I was actually wondering this for a huge fan-fic I wanna write. (Even though I feel like writing fan-fic about MLP is cringey, especially what I plan to do.)

Ponies as depicted in the show are living breathing mammals. We know they can be injured, since Rainbow was hospitalized. So I'd say yes, they can bleed.

it's supposed to be for little girls.

How many times....? Okay, I am usually the one saying that :mlp_icwudt:

 

I think, blood is needed only in shows that require the audience to feel the pain, such as Anime shows. usually, even Anime shows blood without showing the characters are actually in pain! I find that so odd and weird.

is not exactly blood because is just applejack's outline color but it was weird to me that the choose that color here particularly instead of the usual brown or black so it kinda looks like blood.
