Unless Kefka knows how to read Japanese, I think it'll be somewhat hard to review anything other than the art. :-P

Better yet, do a review just based on the art alone, making up your own storyline to go along with it. :v:

The rage will be glorious :gotcha:

The reality will be it'll be one episode where they transform for about 30 seconds. (Some of our more angry Brony bretheren will still rage, though, despite DHX bending over backwards to keep the fans happy while doing the absolute bare minimum to satisfy Hasbro's requirements)

(Edited to not sound like it's ranting against the entire Brony population. I'm one too, ya know!)

You know it's fucked up that we on TRS always assume the worst of bronykind as a whole, what would give you reason to say this?

Alright, Hasbro. I admit those look a MILLION times better than those Rainbow Power bullshits. Still a little too girly, but much, much better.


Okay glad to see the ridiculously long hair gone but these aren't much of an improvement. I mean face tattoos? Are they Mike Tyson? Can't we just have super saiyan ponies already?


In fairness I unironically support that last guy wanting Super Saiyan Ponies.

There, I edited and made it nicer :)

I don't assume the worst of them as a whole. Since I stopped looking at the nchans I feel a lot better about it and am happy to call myself one. Heck I go to the cons and have found them to be exclusively nice (well there was one guy who ranted at a writer, but let's not get into that. I like to think he was trying to be rebellious.)

I just said "Bronies" because I didn't want to single out particular subsets and thought it more polite to just acknowledge that some of us (on the internet) suck can be a little bit over-dramatic. But I don't mean that the majority do. The majority, at least the ones I hang around with, are lovely people who have made my life a lot more pleasant!

But you know there are certain parts of the fandom who just rage at everything and make a huge drama and send the show staff hate mail and death threats etc, first for Derpy existing, then for Derpy not existing, then for the wedding (until it turned out to be awesome, which is a bit of a pattern), Twilicorn, EQG, Breezies, Rainbow Power... I've probably missed a few out... they all had their massive "sky is falling" dramas. I'm just saying it'll probably happen again. There are a possibly small but very vocal part of the fandom that really don't like the fact that the primary purpose of the show is for Hasbro to sell toys and that sometimes they make a toy range and tell them "go and incorporate it into the show somehow please". I am personally impressed that DHX get away with keeping it as story-driven (instead of toy-driven) as they do, but there are a lot of extremists who go on a massive frothing rage whenever there's any hint at anything being remotely "toyetic" and I just felt like having a mini rant/mockery of those :v:

Sorry, I didn't mean it to come out sounding so anti-Brony. :fluttersmith: I'm one too :flutterunsmith:
I will henceforth put the brakes on this reversion to "sanctimonious douchebag" - I used to be one of those a few years ago too, it wasn't very nice.

Whoa... did you realize the show is called "My Little Pony"? But a pony is a small horse so what they are saying is "My Little Small Horse." Or to put into proper English, the show is called "Oh my, that is a tiny horse!" :starity: :v: :crack: :-D

It's actually called My Little Pony because it was a spinoff of "My Pretty Pony", which were originally 10in tall.

Um, 10 inches is rather big for a pony toy as we know them. To my knowledge, My Little Pony came out in 1983.

What are they teaching kids in school these day? Pssh, matric system? Who's flag is on the moon? :jingo:

I joke. :v: the standard pony toy size is about five inches. So the first design is like twice the size of what we are used to. About the size of talking Chrysalis. :flirt: :evil:

It's about 4-5in now. The original ones are about the size of the oversized brushies (the ones that only come with a comb), so you could still get them that size. I think they're only of Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy though.

Brought to you by the same parents who argue My Little Pony has deep sexual undertones. :-/

Yep, nothing on their that gives any sort of warning that it has lights and sounds. Despite the clear "Try me" button and sticker that says so. :v:

In that parent's defense, one doesn't generally expect evil, cackling villains to assent to mane-styling and brushie-brushie. It is slightly confusing. :ponder:

Now I'm imagining a parent leaving a review on a Pinkie Pie brushie: "My child loves the color green and asked me to get a green pony if there were any, but was incredibly disappointed when I brought this home. How was I supposed to know that it was pink?"

Out of curiosity, where's the picture from? Some sort of toy review magazine?

But yeah, all I can think is that a parent was shopping for toys and didn't bother getting further than "My Little Pony" before grabbing it, because clearly a little girl's show would never have a villain.

That Sombra, always trying to push his slavery agenda.

Unrelated question for the detective types around here: Can anyone remember if this image ever showed up in the show (or anywhere else for that matter?)

Pretty sure that's an non-ruined version of Celestia and Luna's old castle. I don't recall it ever appearing in its full form, but the place to check would be Twilight scrying into the past in Princess Twilight Sparkle

Yup, as far as I know the only instance is the one I posted, which is a photo of a page in the Journal of the Two Sisters. There isn't an awful lot of new, show-accurate images in the book, and of the ones that do appear look to be backgrounds used in the show, i.e. the castle throne room and the stairs leading down to the Tree of Harmony (both seen in the season 4 premiere). I'm wondering now whether that wide shot of the castle might've been cut from the S4 premiere. I've checked in the flashback you mention, but I don't believe the wide is ever shown.

I don't think so. It's a random review from some random person on some random site. If, as a company, you bow down to every single ultra-nervous customer like that then your eventual product ends up being over-sanitized, creatively bankrupt crap. Granted, Hasbro often does do that sort of thing, but not often enough to where they'll listen particularly hard to reviews like that.
