Rainbow Rocks: Does this mean--


Jangocoolguy

Recommended Posts

that Vinyl Scratch/DJ Pon3 will finally talk (and sing)?

 

Every time she's appeared, she didn't say a word. But between the book's cover and popping up twice in the trailer, it kinda looks like she might play her biggest role yet (even if that doesn't take much).

 

So does this mean she may FINALLY get a word in?

 

If so, do you have any ideas or hopes for who could voice her?


"It's like I found a piece of myself I didn't even know was missing!"

How do you think WE feel?!

Obviously, it means...

...well, if Vinyl FINALLY gets an official voice, then I approve Hasbro. Make it Idina Menzel Nowacking.

Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey.

I hope not.. that'd ruin YEARS of fan works using the custom voice she's had for so long...

It'd be almost akin to changing Rainbow Dash from blue to green....

 

As much as I love the character, and would love to see her have a bigger role, I just can't fathom the idea of literally dropping a load on years of fanon surrounding a character like that.

Now I definitely want her to talk. When she opens her lips it will be the sound of a million head-canons exploding. BOOM!

 

The internet whine-fest will be epic.

I don't know, maybe. With Vinyl's wubs and Trixie's bass guitar, our ears would never be the same.

I would not mind if she gets an official voice, question is, who would that be? Since she is into music and might sing, one of the VA who are professional singers might take the role, but I hope for Cadance's VA, because Ashleigh voices many characters already

They'll have bought it on themselves.

 

This is what I least like about this fandom: the way too damn many of us take effing memes--which are just(bad) jokes taken too far--and act like that's what the creative staff and producers ever intended, then act like self-entitled brats who ever thought they had a say--let alone such a big one--in the creative process.

 

This is DHX/Hasbro's story, people. Not yours. Don't freak out and throw a tantrum when stuff from your fan labor/head canon isn't made official or ignored.

 

There. I said my piece.

If it weren't for the fandom most of these characters would've even have names, would've been used in the BG maybe once or twice and forgotten, and the series would've been canceled after the second or third season. The fandom is what gives these staff members money, and keeps them employed beyond their original limited contracts. Something thats often forgotten.

 

The fandom gave these extra's life, where their creators intended them to be nothing more than a pass by experience that was meant to be unnoticed and forgotten.

If it weren't for the fans, these characters simply would've died off as unknowns because thats what they were. No ones saying that they shouldn't be more, and many would hope for them to be more. But the staff/cast/writers deliberately made them throw aways. Its not like anyone in the fandom is demanding that above RD recolor to be made canon, an established character BY the staff. 

 

I agree with the regard to the MAIN cast, or any others that the staff actually built. They've been given life, personalities, voices, backgrounds, families, etc...

But background characters like Scratch were never intended for that. It was the fans who truly created them beyond the simple background image that they were. It was the fans that breathed life into them. Gave them homes, friends, and developed their personalities. For the staff to come back on the fans and claim fan service by making the fan established creations official in some way, and while doing so stomping on the fan works. Thats just insulting.

 

 

Entitlement it may sound like, but the staff for the show didn't create the character in anything but image, an image they intended to scrap after a single use and was saved merely by the grace of the fans. Fans trying to change twilight back to a unicorn over the alicorn would be entitlement, the creators actually developed her for that purpose. But the background characters were left blank slates and are only being used to encourage the fans, but not in a simple way anymore where they're being left open as they had been.

If you want to get technical, in the comics we saw her singing a parody of a Beatles song.

Uhm, no. First of all you're seriously overestimating how important bronies are to keeping this show on the air. Bronies are a little fraction of a percent of the audience watching this. If all the bronies stopped watching the show tomorrow, the show would still keep chugging along.

 

During their stockholders presentation, Hasbro had lots to say about how successful their products and the show were with young girls. They didn't even mention bronies. Not once.

 

Second of all, we have no business carving out parts of the show lore that are off-limits to the writers. The fact that they've even dropped a little bit of fan stuff in at all, is them being incredibly, incredibly nice. We can't be adding artificial barriers to what the writers can do creatively.

 

Third, the writers are incredibly limited with how much fan stuff they can follow anyhow. For example Meghan McCarthy has stated numerous times on Twitter that her contract will simply not allow her to read fan-fiction at all.

 

So if they can't know everything the fandom is doing, they simply can not always know when they're breaking fanon. Plus, they shouldn't be obligated to keep up with fanon anyway, because that is simply not their jobs.

 

Let the writers write, dammit.

I'm pretty sure we'll just have to wait and see. Considering they gave Derpy a voice that one time, I think it's a possibility. But.. I don't know. Even if she doesn't get a voice at least she'll have more appearances!

We gettin' 20% cooler!

I'd love for her to have a speaking role! I love the way she is in "fanon" but it wouldn't bother me if she was different as this isn't "fanon", it's canon and it doesn't always match what we expect. I'd be excited to see (well, hear!) what they do with her.
