Otherwise, you would have to include Jayson Thiessen, who had "story" credits in seasons 4 and 5, Jim Miller (season 5), and Teddy Antonio (season 3)


Hmm, you're right. I'm not including "story by" credits, so I don't know why I had McCarthy as a "Y". Will fix, cheers.

Fallout: Equestria's failing is that is basically never got past the pilot emotionally, leaving the reader with a set of characters who happily murder their way across Equestria because the main character can do no wrong and is the "element of self-sacrifice."

I'm not a fan of pony stories that completely miss the point of why a kids' show about self-improvement and moral/ethical development is good and important.

I played the first two Fallout games. I loved how in the first one after you got a few levels in you never had to fight anyone ever again. You can just become friends with everyone, including the final boss and you can just talk your way out of the fight and he commits suicide. All my companions lived until the end in both games.

I felt the characters did a lot of wrong, Pip even doubted and blamed herself through out it. She was scared the waste lands would turn her into a monster. And a few times she believed that. And in some smaller ways it actually did. She murdered a lot of things, but that was more in the spirit of the game. But the important thing to remember they only killed for a good reason and tried to avoiding killing when possible. A lot of internal conflict over what counts as a "justifiable" kill or not.

Just from the character development point, it is amazing how many things they correctly guessed would happen in the show without actually seeing it first.

I disagree with, "We're killing for a good reason." In the show, they always win through ~the magic of friendship~, and even when that takes the form of a magic laser cannon, it almost always just weakens the villain. There's a reason for that: the writers want to send a message that you can deal with people and problems without going scorched earth.

Pip always has a cadre of friends around to tell her that killing is totally okay, so don't worry about it. She just cycles between "murder everything that shows up red on your radar" (Fallout 3 morality) and, "Oh no, I'm a bad person, aren't I?" And someone's always there to tell her that it's fine, they were bad people who deserved to die. I only remember one moment in the story where it carries consequences for her, and even that doesn't last to the end of the story. Especially the whole situation with the cannibal town is extremely hard to justify under the story's general theme of, "Sometimes you just have to kill all the bad guys so the good guys can clean things up."

While I rather enjoyed FO:E as a fanfic, I agree that it's definitely not a FiM story, but something entirely different. A lot of fanfics are, actually, and while that doesn't bother me I don't think it's always obvious to people who try reading them.

This might be a better discussion for the fanfic thread, but I think there's pretty much a sharp line between fics that stick with the tone of the show, and stories that use the setting for inspiration but do their own thing.

Definitely something that really belongs in the fic area than GP, because otherwise I'm going to go on a tirade of why FO:E is bad writing and I don't want to do that :v:

Over at Moddb there is a Fallout 1.5 for Fallout 2 which is an entirely self contained story taking place between both games. It's really good albeit really challenging. Well worth a play for anyone wanting more classic Fallout. About 10-20 hours playtime. Just saying.. :amazing:

I just made a thread on the "Legends of Magic". This is a comic series that will replace Friends Forever, which will end at 38 issues. Seems to be significant news for the show this year, so check that out...

I'm honestly still not sure if I'm sad that I missed that moment of enormous hype or glad that I missed the enormous drama that happened after Hasbro censored the original version of that episode.

Never forget the Derp. Just forget the derp about the Derp. Because that was bad. Also a really sad video to that Dead Island Trailer music.

Oddly enough I had to go down to the Lisbon CT Wal Mart for this mystical thing called SOAP. My car was parked right next to one with a Derpy plushie on the dashboard. :allears:

I was actually gonna leave a little message after my run and a URL to this forum but the car was gone when I left. It's not often one sees a Derpy in the wild outside of store shelves and a salute needed to be done. But... It was not meant to be. :fluttersmith:

More in general, back when I first started watching the show (immediately after S2 ended), I remember feeling like I'd somehow missed out on the vast majority of the fandom's existence. And really, that wasn't an inaccurate assumption, since as best any of us knew it then, Hasbro was only going to order 65 episodes and then put it into endless syndication. That was at the end of April 2012; four years and nine months later, though the initial hype and novelty has died off, this fandom is still going strong. :-I

I love how (intentionally or not) this image is all blurred out so it looks like this took place about 20 years ago :allears:

Ah that episode. I actually like it a lot apart from the whole Derpy/Ditzy/Muffins/Bubbles silliness. Unfortunately the fandom couldn't stop making gags about Applejack being overshadowed.

Hard to believe it's been five years since DHX's biggest mistake

The Last Roundup is still one of my favorite episodes, despite the whole Derpy fiasco.

Nah man that episode was hype as hell to see live, worth it all the way.

My fave part of angry Rarity at the end is the next episode was "Dash ends up in the hospital".

I remember that.
Quite a few people caught that from the episode description and speculated accordingly. :smirk:

Not Pony Related exactly but looks like Faust is working on a new show
Image
:allears:

I feel bad that she's been kicked off projects and really never owned her own show. She's worked on existing IPs like DC superheroines and MLP or was a part of a show her husband headed but she never had her own original show.

It's also interesting to speculate where her next show might air. CN is phasing out its 2010 shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show, Disney is slowly developing new shows since I think right now the only popular ones are Star Vs. and Star Wars Rebels, and Nickelodeon is having a comeback with shows like Loud House.

It could be any really. CN is ending some of their more popular shows before and by 2018 and one thing I do like about CN is that they can go PG and explore some adult themes while still being enjoyable and watchable for kids. Plus it is nice to see a handful of CN shows still be animated traditionally, hand drawn whereas other networks have gone flash or Toon Boom almost entirely. Disney could make sense since it seems like they obviously want to air more shows to make Disney XD have be filled with their own property. Disney XD is very boy centric but Star Vs. which is kinda girl-centric really seems to be popular now so maybe they want another female-centered show from Faust. Lastly there's Nick which I never did grow up with but I do find Loud House to be quite endearing with its art style and cast of characters mostly comprised of females. I think they're trying to transition from their long time shows like Fairly Odd Parents and SpongeBob to focus on new shows to keep the network relevant.

Honestly, if I had to guess, it would be in this order. Nick<-CN<-Disney

I think Nick is more desperate for new shows and they could tap Lauren Faust to head a new show for them. And coincidentally Lauren Faust did actually appear on a Nick official podcast rather recently...

:smirk:

Edit: oh wow, apparently she now has a child. I didn't know that. Granted, I guess it's not supposed to be made a big deal of but I guess that could explain why she's been rather silent lately. Plus because of this and now that I think about it, her tweet could have been a joke.
:modesty:

Congrats on the baby, though!

Looking at that tweet, I find myself mostly reading it as that she wants to work on another show, not so much that she actually is starting a new show right now.

Huh. That explains a few things, actually. Or rather adds in an alternate piece of data to previous theories.

And another one bites the dust. A shame too since I really like Buckball Season. Who's ready for another season of almost entirely new writers?

I said this before, but it's a weird feeling that there's really nobody who worked on season 1 left on the show. Not just the writers, but the directors as well (some, like Meghan McCarthy and Jayson Thiessen are working on the film, however).

I think the only staff who worked on the show all throughout are the main voice actresses, some of the executive producers, and technically Jim Miller, who was one of the storyboard artists back in season 1.

Given Meghan's credits in season 6, I get the feeling that she and some others may sit in on those season kickoff story pitch meetings and help fill in ideas as needed. But yeah, it's unfortunate that they don't have more returning writers (that we know of).

It's also been a hell of a long time, especially in the realm of children's cartoons, since S1 began production in mid-late 2009. No one expected FiM to go on this long.
