Hellowutsup5 2 October 19, 2013 Share October 19, 2013 (edited) Ok, my brother, after ages of nothing but refusal and claiming he can't cause it cause a blow to his masculinity, has finally agreed to watch an episode of my choosing. He is a film guy, currently going to school for film, he likes animated cartoons such as Teen Titans, Avatar: TLAB, anime, etc. Anywho, I was wondering what might be the best story oriented episode to show him, I might be able to get away with a two parter (since they tend to have more story to them) EDIT: maybe not story oriented, but one that can be appreciated by a guy going into film.

Scootalove 10,689 October 19, 2013 Share October 19, 2013 So, you want an episode that is solely based on a story that is similar to a film? Okay, I would highly recommend A Canterlot Wedding since it reminds me of some Disney movies that I remember. You could show him that, if it does work then it may help him enjoy the episode. 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellowutsup5 2 October 19, 2013 Author Share October 19, 2013 Yeah, he would like that one, and I had him listen to This Day Aria with out telling him where it was from. He guessed it was from MLP and agreed it was a Disney quality song. My only fear in showing him that one is the first half will put him off until the end, and I don't want him to leave early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repsol rave 2,963 October 19, 2013 Share October 19, 2013 nice! i'm pretty curious about how he'll react to it. if he has an open mind he should be able to enjoy atleast the multitude of the episodes. 1 My OC's: Roarke, Repsol and Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsolete 681 October 19, 2013 Share October 19, 2013 Film geeks (at least the ones I hang around) tend to prioritize things like creative visuals, editing patterns, etc. so I'd recommend Lesson Zero as a starting point. Lots of inventive devices are used throughout, like the bits where sun mimics the movements of a clock, among others. He may find it interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gale Force 6 October 19, 2013 Share October 19, 2013 (edited) Film major? That is actually a new one for me. For people that really like to dissect a show, I have them watch The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy for the economical and how people are swayed by varying methods of production vs presentation. Film major... Maybe Putting your hoof down. Also gives a macho character to show the comidic value of our show in a more masculine light. Also, it show great character developement and amazing animations: the panning camera in fluttershy's cottage after she ties herself up and Iron Will scuttling across stage.

Andaasonsan 3,205 October 20, 2013 Share October 20, 2013 One of the episodes where Twilight has an OCD meltdown ("It's About Time", "Lesson Zero") would probably be a good choice since they highlight the offbeat humor of the show and really let you see that this isn't just a girly froo-froo show. 1 Application REJECTED!

Hellowutsup5 2 October 28, 2013 Author Share October 28, 2013 YES! success! I went with season 1 episode 1&2, the begining is an excellent place to start, it shows each character and who they are equally. Yes he has said that he likes it, hints of a desire to watch more, shy smile when asked by my anti-brony sister if he liked it, she then started calling him a traitor xD anyways, his current favorite pony is fluttershy (prob cause of her sheer adorableness in the first half). Thanks all it was fun. im trying not to push him with more pony stuff, dont want to overwhelm. Just gonna let it sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
