Fizzbuzz wrote:Though for Apple Bloom, I always thought that could end up being her special talent. The Cutie Pox left a glaring hint in that direction, and given her fierce independence, I can see her being willing to learn and apply such an art that most ponies tend to shun. Given that she also lives on a farm, if she did happen to discover a potion with especially useful effects and find a market for it, her family could easily convert some of Sweet Apple Acres's production to ingredients for it, thus tying all that back into her family as well.
Wayoshi wrote:Ehh.... if the potion helps Bloom Apples, perhaps.
I questioned your post because my read on the EW clip is that Twi is forcing something she's interested in, a la Slice of Life, but that might have been a hasty judgment.

Fizzbuzz wrote:Sure, her family's going to be involved somehow, but a big part of Apple Bloom's story has been that farming apples isn't what she really loves, much unlike her brother and sister. Whatever it ends up being, it's definitely going to be a far more intellectual sort of thing than is typical for any member of her family.

Fizzbuzz wrote:Hasbro doesn't really care too much about the traits and quirks of the characters as far as toys go. In fact, they mold the characters to fit the toys (the introduction of Cadance and Shining Armor, slapping wings on Twilight, the upcoming Rainbow Power...). Hasbro has also shown even less attention to the CMC, leaving them and Spike relatively untouched compared to the six adults of the main cast. If the Crusaders ever do get their cutie marks, I expect it'll happen without a corporate mandate.

Tears wrote:I read a few stories about Michael Jackson's post-fame minglings.
First one, he was friends with a guy who owned a chain of stores. So the guy closed one store early, and had all Michael's celebrity friends turn up to act as random shoppers. So MJ's idea of normality is browsing a closed department store while Dan Aykroyd and Elizabeth Taylor pretend to not notice him, his idea of a normal shopping trip.
Later, he's recording with Akon and feels like checking out a movie. So he puts on his fake face, and MJ and Akon go to the movies. And they make it maybe 45 minutes into the movie before a kid notices, and is all "IT'S MICHAEL JACKSON!", and then MJ and Akon flee to the waiting helicopter, pursued by baying his fans, his idea of going to see a movie.
So that's why poni doesn't feature Twilight's fame. Because true fame is weird.
