My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
 

I have been watching this show religiously, it is pretty amazing. Any other forum goers who like/love this amazing show?

Not exactly my thing, but apparently there's a whole sub movement amongst fans regarding the so-called "Derpy" character.

He is like the "Where's Waldo" of MLP. Derpy is just a fan name of a background pony that gets used in each episode along with other background ponies. :O I like Derpy, but my favourite pony is Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is 20% cooler then all the other ponies.

I remember MLP was always the show for really young girls back in the 80s and the kind of thing no self-respecting boy would be caught dead watching. Is the new show have a more all-ages/gender neutral appeal?

Here's a few funny fan arts on the "Derpy" phenomenon:

I've heard right now most of the viewers are either stoner teenage boys, teenage girls, and little girls. So, yes?

Have you watched the show by the way? I love that Lauren Faust is the developer of this show. Which probably the reason I love this show so much, because I loved all the other things that she has developed as well, like Foster Home, Power Puff Girls. Majority of the episodes are amazing, the first two weren't the best but after those ones are like amazing episodes, and simply some of the most entertaining things you will watch. Most likely do to Pinkie Pie and her amazing randomness and songs, and and and and. Omg, I need to watch more pony related things on youtube now.

Well, I do like the Powerpuff Girls, although I always associated the show more with Craig McCracken.

I've never seen any of Pony, but that clip does look pretty funny and the show does have a pretty impressive voice acting cast. So... maybe I need to watch some more Youtube bits myself.

All the episodes are on youtube. : o

:o SOLD! Damn, girl. You got me hooked, just like that. This is not the girls-only MLP my sister forced me to ignore, back in the day.

I use to love My Little Pony back in the day. That clip is quite funny.

I put this on for my daughter every Saturday when the latest episode goes to Youtube. She may be only 3-months old, but she loves it.

I absolutly love this show. I was never much of a fan of the original (also refered to as G1 Pony's) but the new one is AWESOME. I've even begun to collect the figs (so far I have Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, and Rainbow Dash). I like how there's some modern twists (like the Michael Jackson pony that hired Rarity to make him a bunch of costumes.). Also Princess Celestia (who rules Equestria from... Canterlot. Heh..get it? Canterlot instead of Camelot?) and her sister Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon are normal horses, most of the males (like Apple Jack's brother Macintosh) are Clydesdales and of course there's Zecora the Zebra (yes she's from Africa).

One of my fave characters in the show is Spike the baby dragon. He's a horny little bugger with his hots for Rarity. *lol*

One of the weird things tho is if Celestia is just a princess who are her parents? Does she have any other siblings? It would seem so since she has a nephew (Luna couldn't be the mother since she was trapped in the moon for 1000 years).

I'm not able to watch this show, but I'm sure it's good. I used to love MLP back in the day (my fave ponies were Sundance, Baby Sundance, and the Flutter Ponies). Maybe I can catch this elsewhere if I get time or even think about it.

Every ep is up on YouTube. Go! Watch it now!

Just Faust's writing choice.

Also, Luna and Celestia are sisters; they said so in the first episode.

Never said Luna and Celestia weren't sisters. Im just wondering if they have another sibling about since Rarity has stated she has a crush on Celestia's nephew. Luna was trapped in the moon for 1000 years. Did Luna have him before she was trapped in the moon? If so then the nephew would be like 1000 years old. *lol*

You could ask the Lauran herself if you really want the answer over on DA.

I am guessing it was just an added character for the moment for Celestia's family. Nothing you should really look into... I don't think MLP will ever talk about moms. If you haven't noticed with the Cutie Mark Crusaders they only really have sisters. The only pony so far to have an expansive family with a mom is Applejack. Maybe in the land of ponies adults don't always exist. After all, the demographic for this show is suppose to be little girls. So wouldn't it be mostly filled with young female ponies? I don't know. I am rambling...

I don't look to much into shows to care enough to even ask questions like you do.

Well actually that's her grandmother. I'd LOVE to have a Granny Smith fig! :D Another elderly pony was seen working in Cloud City.

And there's at least 1 married couple in town. Mr. and Mrs. Cake (Cup and Carrot...seriously...that's their names. Carrot Cake and Cup Cake :lol: )

Further proof of how awesome this show is. From this week's ep we learned:

1: Buffalo's apperantly represent Native Americans
2: Trains litterally run on horse power (good lord. Didn't they get tired?!)
3: They get drunk on salt! :lol:

They should just really make figures of the entire Apple family. Cuz darnit now I want one of cousin Braeburn! *lol*

I was so upset I didn't see Derpy in this episode. I loved the Fluttershy is a tree joke.

I friggin' LOVE this show. Ever since I watched the first episode, I was hooked. The writing is clever, the jokes are hilarious, the songs are some of the best I've EVER heard in an animated series, and every character is likeable. This show is second only to Sgt. Frog in my heart as my favorite show of all time. I really hope Hasbro takes advantage of the expanded fan base and has Shout! Factory release some awesome DVDs. This is one of those shows that I absolutely MUST own on DVD. Consider me a fan! :)

As for who my favorite character is, I just adore Fluttershy. She is one of the most adorable characters I've ever seen in a show and everytime she's on screen, I just go "D'AWWWWWW!". I just wish Hasbro would release a show-accurate PVC figure of her. She's one of the only main ponies without one.

I agree. MLP is such an awesome show. I just wish there was an individual Spike figure. Spike only comes with the Princess Celestia Pack or a Balloon pack with Twilight. :/ The regular Twilight fig comes with Owloicious! But I have figs of Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. I want ones of the rest of the Apple family now! Apple Jack and Twilight are my faves.

One of the best eps of the season has to be the one that revealed how they got their Cutie Marks. It was so neat how everyone was connected before they even met!! I also find it amusing that Pinkie Pie is Amish. Also the whole thing with Apple Jack going to Manehatten (get it? Manehatten!) to visit her aunt and uncle Orange (apple's and orange's! Hahaha....in the end we're truly all fruit).

I figure that Ponyville is either in upstate NY or in New Jersey. Close enough to Manehattan and Fillydelphia (Princess Celestia mentioned the town once). Almost visible from Manehattan. And since Canterlot is so close to Ponyville....uh..hmm...trying to figure out the real world towns is kinda fun. *lol*

which pony is derpy? Also this look like a crack induced dream. I'm in.

This be Derpy:

I've been watching this show faithfully too!

I used to play My little ponies with my cousins and had a baby Fluttershy when I was little haha.

She's still my favorite, and I was so excited to see a new show!

WHAT I love about this show though is that anyone can watch this show.
It's also a -great- show for our new generations.

It shows girls that you can be pretty, tomboyish, smart, silly, anyone you want to be.
I think the "Moral Lessons in Friendship" are well written and quite clever.

what I admire about this show too is that even though they have "Bronies" (Boy Ponies) A character like Rarity who focuses on fashion and beauty, she does that for herself instead of trying to impress her friends (Though sometimes she does Haha, especially in that episode she got those wings and outshined Rainbow Dash) OR to attempt to catch a Bronie's attention.

I just really like the idea of a character being a role model for trying to be beautiful for your own satisfaction instead of other's.

My brother who is 17, he watches it with me even though he denies it. ;P

This show is defenetly worth checking out, guys. If you haven't yet, you need to fix it asap! haha.

Oh! and my Favorite ponie is Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie for anyone is that curious LOL!

AND DON'T FORGET SPIKE, PEOPLES!

Heads up that My little Pony Friendship is Magic Season 2 starts tomorrow (saturday)!!

At 9am ET/6am PT on The Hub Network.

This season they're introducing interesting takes on Greek/Roman mythology starting with Discord, the god of Chaos voiced by non other than John "Q" De Lancie!! Now the clips I've seen refer to him as a Dracoepuus (Dragon Horse) but really he's a Chimera. Well actually he's Q in the form of a Chimera. Same power setting, same actor! :lol:




Note: In this clip you can see statues of the Pony versions of Pan, Calliope, and Cupis/Eros.

I made my girlfriend addicted to this show, sadly we can't find any show accurate toys in out local toy stores... it makes her crazy :P

Yeah. None of the figs are really show accurate and yet I've still purchased the main group (Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie). I refuse to get Princess Celestia cuz she's the wrong colour.... :/

the ones with plastic hair seems closely modeled to look show accurate, but the only place I've seen them is in the My little Pony Toy review on That New Toy Smell.

The only Celestia we found was a pink one that spoke... Horrible dubbed Norwegian...

Yeah. Princess Celestia figs are pink or Twilight Sparkle purple. :ohwell: I haven't seen a speaking one tho. Ive only seen the box sets that have 3 of the ponies (Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity) and Spike with her. The regular Twilight Sparkle fig comes with Owloishous for some reason. :/

There's an Interview with Lauren Faust at Equestria Daily

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...ospective.html

and Director Jayson Theissen

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...view-with.html

Hahaha... I knew somebody would do that. I loved the Star Wars ending for the latest ep of FIM. Now for the inevidable gif of those ballet dancing native american buffalo. :lol:

I am a very open brony! Fluttershy is totally my girl!

I managed to score the Ponyville Pony set of 12, which are in the smaller Ponyville style, but have show accurate sculpted hair. Very cute! I've got most of the first releases of figures and playsets too. I even have my Deadpool figure helping Applejack with her harvesting!

This show is amazing. It took me a while to get around to watching it, but I'm glad I did. Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash are my favorites.

Managed to snag 7 blind bag ponies for the prize of one, all six main ponies and the one who looks like Derpy but sadly isn't

The store I found them in, some kid had opened all the bags and scattered the ponies in the box. Since the rpice was a bit steep I asked one of the stores clerks how many ponies was meant to be in one bag. he didn't know so he just let me fill up one of the opened bags, and it just managed to hold 7 figures.

later I found a character card in the bag and it stood on the bag "sold separately" which was a clue that it was meant to be 1 pony in each bag. I gave them to by girlfriend.

So I finally got around to watching the first two episodes of season 2 finally. Have to say I enjoyed them. I like how they brought back the cutie mark brigade and used them to start things off. I hope they get their cutie marks this season.

Well the thing is we already know what their cutie marks are as the action figures have them. Mostly because of their G3 counterparts.

Scootaloo has a Butterfly with two small yellow flowers
Sweetie Belle has a sparkly pink heart

Apple Bloom tho is a G4 only pony so there's no known cutie mark for her.

Interesting note I just found in regards to Princess Celestia and the reason why she's a princess instead of a Queen:

"Princess Celestia was originally supposed to be Queen Celestia, as is logical considering her position, but Hasbro requested the name be changed as Disney has caused princesses to be associated with good and queens associated with evil. Princess Celestia is the highest authority, with no king or queen who outranks her."

That makes no sense at all!!! Sleeping Beauty's mother is a good queen, Ariel's mom was a good queen.... :ohwell: Heck Ariel became queen (and died off screen) according to CInderella 3! Yo Hasbro! Watch "The 10th Kingdom!" ever hear of the 5 GOOD queen's who saved the kingdoms?! *mumbles*


Oh and there's no episode this week. The next new ep is on the 15th of October. Luna pops back up for the Halloween episode. That should be fun. I guess Halloween (or Nightmare Night) was created because of the stuff she did 1000 years ago.

Its not a bad show,...its intelligent and very well written.
Its also very funny when pinky is around. And yes I like Derpy too.

The only thing I dont like is the theme song. Its a bit irritating.

Yeah I generally FF thru that. *lol*

I like the theme song. It's one of the few I can actually listen to. Normally I can't stand theme songs.
