I am really hoping Cutosphere is at Boston Comic Con and that this was for her.

Japan is getting more pony manga!
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/08/o ... n.html?m=1

Really hope IDW or VIZ one localizes this eventually. I enjoyed the teams work on the Zelda manga, would be nice to have a legal way to read their pony work as well!

A while back Al Jaffee was a guest artist on a SpongeBob comic, drawing a page in his own style.

Now I'm curious to see Jaffee guest-draw a Pony page for an IDW comic, again in his own style (although using G4 as a guide rather than G1 in the Fold-In)

Some of them are no longer with us, but I'd love (or would have loved) to see MAD artists' versions of Pony. Jack Davis and Don Martin come to mind. :thatsright:

Yeah Japan has only aired seasons 1&2 Season 3 & 4 haven't aired there yet , but there was a Japanese flyer awhile back for a princess twilight toy I believe, so it should probably air there eventually. :pinkieshrug:

I think they've aired seasons 1 and 2 so far, with the "best" episodes from them being aired as reruns right now. No idea on S3, but I think it's in the works.

Oh, then it probably is in the works. But I wonder if it's really a spoiler or not, I thought their intro showed her becoming an alicorn.

No, I believe that supposed intro that had Alicorn Twy was a fanmade work EQD posted as legit.

Fans don't wanna have AJ & Rarity's lives cause they're too lazy to be farmers or fashionistas.

I can't help wondering if the results would have been different had this poll been done before the finale.

Probably not. Magic and flying are two things that humans can't do, and Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are the best at those, respectively. See also how so many people's OCs are either unicorns or pegasi.

I love Twilight, but hell with taking over her life. Being a Princess in Equestria is some hard-ass work.

I'd probably go with Dash, simply because she seems to have a pretty great lifestyle. Nice little cloud-house, cruisey job on the weather team, plenty of time for extra-curricular stuff (reading, trying to be a Wonderbolt). I'd probably lean towards Fluttershy as well, but I'm probably not enough of an animal lover to deal with what she has going on. There's something appealing about AJ's situation too, I think.

I can see why no-one wants to go with Rarity; her life seems way too stressful to me.

I don't care about being a princess. But I'd love to be an epic level wizard :wingsright:

Flying would also be nifty.

It might be stressful, but there has to be some added bonus being well-known among all the big names in Equestria, from Celestia, to Sapphire Shores! :wink:

Poll should have classified Unicorn Twilight. Alicorn power skews the results.

I believe the poll should have also made it clear by saying not-picking Rarity would mean you would never be fabulous. :vogue:

:negative: :negative: :negative:

I would have picked... I think I would have... I, I, this is so hard because I don't want any of their lives. :gonkity:
Twilight Sparkle is an Alicorn Princess who lives in a Sparkly Castle, and when it comes to that, I'm on the same page as Twilight was in the Reflections comics arc ("I never wanted this, I'm not any good at it, I don't know what to do and why couldn't I have just stayed a scholar").
Rarity's lifestyle actually seems great to me-- frequent travel, consumed by the only job she ever dreamed of being consumed by-- but the attendant fanciness and frilliness and frivolousness and drama are just so opposite my personality that I don't think I could stand them.
I have a ton of respect for Rainbow Dash, but in the end I'm just not interested in anything she's interested in.
And living a life of understanding through travel and exploration is very important to me, and Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie seem way too happy at the prospect of staying in Ponyville for the rest of their lives.

But if Unicorn Twilight were an option, I woulda hit that dang button so fast the whole poll woulda caught fire. Books! Books! And frequent adventure and excitement and making meaningful contributions to the world! And she lives in a library! With books! And literally her only real job in life is to make friends and read the books! SO MANY BOOKS! SO MANY BOOKS :twonk:

LIKE, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, EVEN THE BEDROOM WAS BOOKS :twonk: :twonk: :twonk:
