Am I the only Brony who prefers the comics to the show?


Rarity Paige Belle

Without the voice actors it's just not the same though. I can imagine them with the right voices, but the delivery just isn't quite right.

I think it's good that I don't have to hear their voices. As much as I've begun to love Rarity, I still can't get over her voice. This way, instead of having to listen to her transatlantic voice I can imagine her as a proper British lady!

So what, are you racist against, uhm... Trans-Atlanteans... or something?

Love the comics a TON, the in jokes, the expansion of the characters and world, and how it reaches farther than the show can be permitted while sticking to its "target" audience (Apple booze and drunk ponies FTW!) .

 

The comics literally create a LIVELY world, where the show has a rather.. somewhat uninhabited place... Sure we see a lot of BG ponies, but not much going on with them usually, they're just disposables. The comic has constantly recurring characters, and it ties its various counterparts together to some degree (well.. thankfully not the RD mini... )

 

I love the comic, but the show has its charm as well, and always will IMO.

TBH I wish Tibbles would make a transition (and opossum as a pet.. lol.. or live pony chess... fun!), as well as the Luna/Celestia personalities the comics has displayed. They seem more alive than in the show, where they often seem to just be literally nothing but supporting characters without personalities :/

The two actually have a relationship going, and have their own things happening, while the show just kinda of.. guest stars...

 

And I don't solely refer to the micro series for the princesses, they actually explained in a short about Celestia's lack of participation in the changeling incident in the first season as well at the end of the final book.

And the second saw a good portion of Luna's character pulled together and explained.

It's just that someone as sophisticated as Rarity I always think should have a British accent!

Or french :P

I'm trying to recall where it was said.. but I know somewhere the joke was made "We're not rude, We're french!"

Yeah, when I think "sophisticated" I definitely think of British ladies...

They're both great, and I'm way more excited for the next three issues of the main series comic than any of the episodes they've announced. Plus Spike, Celestia, and Luna are written better in the comics than in the show. Of course, they both also have their down moments, since issues in the side series can be pretty terrible. Hell, I'd say that the RD micro is worse than MMDW.

I have to admit that the last Friends Forever comic was a bit lame.

I think the comics have a charm of their own, as stated before they are darker and get into stories we all would like to see the sequel of. They also go more in depth with certain characters and we see sides of them which we never will in the show.

 

I don't think the comics beat season 1 and 2 but they are definitely better than the show for me as well at the moment.

I can understand that, even thought I loved it personally. It was light on humor and action, but it gave Spike and Celestia great characterization imo.

Being as you're a fan of the comics, do you buy them digitally, or do you buy them from a store?

I buy physical copies online, usually eBay or Hot Topic's website.

To be honest, I've never gotten my hands on any of them... I'm still reluctant as my parents don't know I like mlp as much as I do though they know I like it. If anypony knows if there is somewhere online I can download them, tell me.

I usually download them from comixology, although you have to pay for them. But you shouldn't be worried about telling your parents. Mine know I'm a Brony and I'm 25!!

I think the same as you. I fell like the comics were made for the brony part of the fandom. You can definitely see more action, darker and scarier themes, and even ponies getting hurt. BAD! Did anyone read issue 17? Dang!
