In-Season General Show Chat - Season 6 Conversation Station

Postby drunkill (?) » Sat Mar 26, 2016 3:15 pm

Do you want to discuss ponies? Well you've found the right place.

Please try to keep this pony and/or show themed. Do you have a substantive topic that could go on for a while? Try making a new thread for it first so it isn't lost in this larger thread.

If you want to discuss specific episodes from any season of the show you can do that in the Episodes Discussion subforum. Spoilers for future episodes go in the Spoiler Discussion subforum, don't discuss spoilers outside of that subforum. While the latest episode will have a thread as a sticky in General Ponies until Thursday when it is moved into the discussion subforum and replaced with the thread for the upcoming episode.

Spike's portrayal in the premiere makes me optimistic for his upcoming episode.

I hope for some worldbuilding in his episode.

I dislike him less after the premiere. Flutts didn't get much to do these last two episodes though.

I guess Spike isn't popular among fans. Looks like I'm the only one who likes him.

Looks to be pages from the Rarity Micro, Luna Micro, Return of Queen Chrysalsis, The Deer Story, and the Big Mac story.


Oh hey! This had the best page from Issue 1 in it.

I gave in and bought it :v:

Hey, keep in mind that what you mentioned is still a spoiler. Info for upcoming episodes like that always stays in the spoiler forum until an episode thread is posted, as there are some people who still prefer to watch the show as spoiler-free as possible. It's okay if you want to speculate in general, but if you know details based on spoilers then please don't discuss them anywhere else on the site.

Still 4m left. I hope no one snipes it from you. :flutterdear:

I was tempted to buy this one. That last panel with Celestia, Philomena and Flutterhsy is incredibly cute.

But I already have a nice ANdy Price print in the house. I grabbed the large print version of this cover he was selling at Denver Comicon a few years ago.

Image


Though, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on this one...

Issue 1 was the very first one to end. When I posted, I had already won it, and of the 5 pages, mine was the second cheapest because I did a proper Ebay snipe. Also yea, I got Sister for Sale at last Bronyccon :awesomedash:

Are there any Spike episodes that the majority agree are good?

Is Spike really that hard to write well? I mean, you could write an episode about him not feeling like he fits in among ponies.

The off-season general topic thread closed before I could say good bye. No closure, so many more regrets.
:fluttersmith:

I can only imagine how long the off-season general will be once the show is over.

It'll keep going until Guardians of Harmony starts up (if, indeed, that is going to be a spinoff TV series) or until G5 and its cartoon begin.

Based on the trademark filing:

On Wednesday, February 17, 2016, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for GUARDIANS OF HARMONY by Hasbro, Inc., Pawtucket, RI 02862. The USPTO has given the GUARDIANS OF HARMONY trademark serial number of 86910693. The current federal status of this trademark filing is NEW APPLICATION FILED. The correspondent listed for GUARDIANS OF HARMONY is HASBRO, INC. of HASBRO, INC., 1027 NEWPORT AVENUE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02862 . The GUARDIANS OF HARMONY trademark is filed in the category of Education and Entertainment Services . The description provided to the USPTO for GUARDIANS OF HARMONY is Entertainment services, namely, an on-going animated television series for children.


...it's as good of a theory as any.

Just a note that Hasbro / Discovery Family is already spoiling major shit. In the premiere:

-Several snippets of the last act in promos. The actual Crystalling with SA/Cadance kissing Flurry, the Crystal Heart getting reformed. Now you wouldn't think they spoiled the end before seeing the premiere, but it's still bad form.
-Flurry Heart is actually named after the events in the episodes, and this is revealed at the end, but Hasbro revealed the name right away

They just can't help themselves. :unenthused:

That's nothing new. One of the promos for The Cutie Map had a very brief clip of Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark flying back onto her, something I wasn't actually sure was going to happen before I saw it.

Promo didn't reveal things out of context. Made it look like Sunburst screwed up the Crystal Heart.

I don't know about anyone else, but I often forget that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are earth ponies and not unicorns. Their style and behavior matches so closely to the stereotypical awful upper-crust Canterlotian.

It probably eats DT up that she can't do magic.

Eh, magic beyond moving things and producing light is just something she'd have to learn on her own. Manipulating others (or, in more polite terms, leadership) is what she's best at, so if she were a unicorn it's not like she'd be able to get someone else to straight-up make her be able to learn and cast any fancy spells.

Is that still the case anymore? Back in Flight to the Finish, Scootaloo seemed to hype up Ponyville's apparent racial balance:
Scootaloo: So... what's special about Ponyville? It's... It's... I got it! It's a place where different kinds of ponies live together as friends!
Apple Bloom: Earth ponies like me!
Sweetie Belle: Unicorns like me!
Scootaloo: And Pegasi like me! So somehow we got to figure out a way to show that in our act.

Was Manehattan well diversified? I'd image most towns are. Even Starlight's gulag was well diversified.

We know Canterlot is where Celestia keeps most of the asshole Unicorns away from the general populous. Cloudsdale is Pegasus only for obvious reasons.

With those two pretty much being the Unicorn and Pegasus Capitals, I wonder what the Earth Pony capital is.

I got the impression that Ponyville being a mix of tribes was unusual, from the Flight to the Finish episode. Manehatten seemed to be almost entirely earth ponies as I recall.

Our Town being diversified makes sense.
