No idea, I have not watched Jimmy Neutron. I think Twilight Sparkle is capable of creative ways to use her spells though, think of Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle, ending up in the 21st century Earth, she could use magic that gives her dragon/fire breath, use it with her telekinesis to heat up a metal rod until it is super red hot, and then launch it to impale armour of robots or tanks, disabling them.

The Cars video game from 2006 is the only movie tie in game I know that got most, if not all the original voices from the movie to reprise their roles for the game.

Wondering why they don't just call "Snake Oil" items, a scam.

Thinking: "Well, that makes sense since they're cars." 😋

How can we tell voices of the cars are different?

I don’t know what I’m going to do.

Most newer BMWs look so ugly. They’ve all got those big ugly grills that look like a pigs nose.

Is it wrong that I find Pinkie Pie's innocence endearing and sweet when watching My Little Pony? like I find it difficult to get mad at her when her playfulness stems from a genuine desire to make others happy and not to annoy? I know she has a habit of getting up in others faces too much sometimes, but fear of loneliness, as well as a desire to avoid boredom, is relatable.

She kind of reminds me of Innocent Buu from Dragonball, after he spat out Evil Buu. Acts child-like, although Buu likes the simple life and does not wish to get too caught up in the petty distractions caused by other people, minding his own business, there is nothing inherently malicious about this. And similar to how Mr Satan keeps a watchful eye over Buu to make sure he doesn't do something destructive or careless in DB, in MLP the rest of Mane Six watch over Pinkie Pie to make sure she does not hurt herself or others during her antics, Fluttershy gently though visibly annoyed, tells Pinkie Pie that her confetti cannons scare animals, for example. But they want to have fun, that is relatable because who doesn't get bored?

Honestly it feels like some fans want to have their cake and eat it too sometimes, in the first instance they want less fighting and more story telling about relationships, but in the other instance, they also say there is not enough action in how they deal with villains, like with King Sombra. We cannot have it both ways, sometimes relationships does mean dealing with hyperactive individuals with a penchant for playful chaos, some people may think this is stereotyping, but fine, you want to pretend humans like this don't exist, be my guest, but I won't stand for that.

I don’t think it’s wrong at all that you find Pinkie’s innocence endearing and sweet. After all, we’re all entitled to our own opinions.

Thank you, it has been said that Pinkie Pie shows symptoms of ADHD and I kind of agree, it was never confirmed, but the implication is there, which makes her acceptance into Mane Six better in my opinion. Despite all this, they consider her a friend and not a burden to dispose of and I think that is definitely an important lesson about kindness and inclusivity.

They didn't invite you to their "big kids" tea party?

That's okay dear, we're going to have our own tea party

One of my friends brought up a very interesting question and I'm still thinking about it: if I said and did things differently in different situations, how much would the outcome change and how much would the future change?

 

Also, if I never befriended any of you and never even came on the Forums, would any of your lives be different in the slightest?  I doubt I have contributed that much to this place.

A contribution is a contribution, they are best evaluated in terms of quality, not quantity. A small good is always better than its absence. No good effort is ever wasted.

To speak to your larger point; 

Certainly, having turned right you could have turned left. And up to a point that could have had results that would seem to be very different from where we are now. But that's where it gets tricky. What scale are we talking about here? You and your friend? You and the rest of us on this forum? All of humanity? Humanity versus everything else in this universe? This universe next to the multiverse? 

There is no part of the material creation that is not governed by cause and effect. As long as you are beholden to cause and effect, your actions matter. Whether you are a person, or a universe is irrelevant. Same law, same rules. 

So, assume your actions and relationships matter. They do. You do. 

It is not possible in practice to do the calculations that would confirm that all of this is meaningless, and I couldn't care less what a computer we will never build might say. 

Here in Equestria, there's room for every pony. The utilitarian hand washing they do in the human world to allow themselves to stand by and watch their fellows sink while they do nothing, doesn't apply here. 

You did show up, you have connected with us. That is the cause that explains the effect of our connection having great intrinsic value.

Twilight Sparkle. She is a true scholar, interested in everything. Jimmy is a macrohubrisitc technologist. He's too worried about a predatory patent dispute filed by Space X grounding his own rockets. He doesn't have time to study Griffon history, least of all after what Gilda did to that drone he was flying in their airspace. 

Jimmy Neutron and Twilight Sparkle in a trivia match would be like the drinking contest during Karen Allen's first scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Like the episode of MLP FIM Hurricane Fluttershy showed, there is strength in numbers. Rainbow Dash was right to encourage Fluttershy to push herself, because every improvement and positive contribution helps.

it's easy for people to get caught up in their criticisms of Rainbow Dash and some of her questionable behaviour in other episodes, like when she blew up the weather factory in Tanks for the Memories, and I think if I were her friend in some fantasy in alternate timeline Equestria I would not be too happy about her behaviour myself, but that does not mean I would immediately cut her off from friendship, she does have redeeming qualities, she does not tolerate behaviour that puts the lives of her friends at risk as shown in Wonderbolts Academy episode, when Lightning Dust needlessly created a tornado to show off, even Spitfire agreed that was unnecessary and extreme.

Also she scolded her parents in Parental Glidance episode for recklessly launching fireworks at Rainbow Dash and other Ponies flying with her. Some fans complained about RD doing that too, but I would be upset too if my parents did that to me, especially for something as stupid as flattery, I would have an argument with them about that the same as she did in that episode.
