I saw that on screw attack, I bet they'll completely massacrate it with star scream.

Well Season 2 is underway (Next new episode will be Oct. 15th), and I have a few things to post.

 

One: Here's a really good retrospective and summary of the show from one of the tgwtg contributors. He also did a summary about the previous generations in another episode, and yeah I can get where the MLP stigma comes from now, but I think that it's a very good summation of what a lot of us have been saying so far.

 

Two: What's everyone think of season 2 so far?

 

[spoiler=Spoilers]

Mostly I'm talking about the second of the two part beginning; I didn't think the first part was that good but looking back it gave a good setup for the next part. I honestly found that it was one of the strangest ones to watch, there were parts that made me happier than almost any other episode in the series and parts that made me shake my head. My favorite parts were definitely the humor, Rarity's reaction to Tom, Pinkie Pie savoring a last bit of chaos chocolate, and of course John de Lancie doing what he does best were all amazing to watch. Probably my biggest problem with it was the pacing, especially for bringing back the ponies from their grey states: I really liked how Applejack explained why she started lying and betraying her element, and I wished they had done that for all/most of the others but instead we get almost no explanation for the other 4 and a prolonged action sequence for Rainbow Dash which I honestly didn't like that much. It all just seemed very rushed once Twilight figured out how to bring her friends back, and the Star Wars reference at the end was just out-of-place (At least for me). I'm curious as to whether we're gonna start seeing an overarching storyline this season or if it'll go back to episodic and character driven stories. What's everyone else's thoughts?

I agree. It was completely too fast. Especially the second episode. The Star Wars reference wasn't that out of place if you ask me. I hope they go back to the style they had last season, but an overarching storyline wouldn't be the worst thing. One thing I really don't like though are those BLATANT internet references... Aka chocolate rain. It was funny, but it makes it seem like they are trying too hard.

 

I'm also looking into getting some steampunk style goggles to wear next summer. I'll dye my hair rainbow colors too, and it will be completely intense.

I personally think that it was a great pair of episodes, though I do have to agree that they did move a bit too quickly through the restoring of the Mane 6 after Applejack, though it is reasonable as there really wasn't a way for them to increase the time spent on all the others without adding a 3rd episode which would not have worked due to the spacing of the action and a lack of material for it. The jokes and references were quite good in my opinion, though personally my favorite was the Mary Sue joke from the first episode of the pair.

I'm ok with jokes, but internet memes push it a little far.

I'm interested, and it might be able to answer some backstory questions but games and tv shows are two completely different ballparks. It makes me think that they're trying to jump on to the Pottermore bandwagon ie. franchise and exploration driven mmo's.

 

EDIT:

[Vezon Dash]

The guy from Deviant Art just sent me an email saying that he shipped my Rainbow Dash fleece hat. I'm pumped because it is too damn cold here.

EDIT:

I am a bit confused how MLP Online has anything to do with Pottermore in terms of the direction of the Franchise, as literally Hasbro's only involvement in the game is not issuing a cease and desist order on the fans who are making it.

That was my mistake then, I thought it was something Hasbro unveiled not a fan-made website :oops: .

[solthoros]

I love this show! My favorite pony is Rainbow Dash, although I love them all! :)

 

Here's a short vid I found for all you Rainbow Dash lovers out there!

 

[redhaloguy]

I saw a few episodes of this show, it's not too special, it's cheesy, predictable and ponies... So why does this have more discussion than like, Breaking Bad?

Because Breaking Bad doesn't have that 'Look at me I'm watching a show made for 8 year old girls. Aren't I edgy?' feel to it. I'm not saying that's why everyone likes it, but I'd wager it's a good portion.

I like it because it reminds me of when cartoons actually were worth watching. Instead of all of the [cabbage] we see on tv today.

You're viewing everything through rose-tinted glasses, as nearly everyone does with old cartoons. You enjoyed them as a kid, grew up, and can't enjoy the current. It's not that the old cartoons were necessarily better, you just remember them as being awesome.

Not true. I had never watched Dexter's Lab or Cat Dog until recently. However, they are so much better than ANYTHING I have seen in the past year. They just have run out of ideas for cartoons.

I love YTP, but that was a waste of my time... It was just repeating words and making jibberish... If you want to see a real MLP YTP watch "My Little Porno: Friendship with Benefits" by cs188.....

Wait, you actually liked CatDog over Adventure Time or Regular Show? CatDog was annoying as hell.

I can't stand Adventure Time. I haven't seen the Regular Show, and Phineas and Ferb pisses me the hell off. It makes me want to cut myself.

KroboProductions/Dikekike mostly does sentence mixing along with some nice effects. But that's not his best MLP YTP. However I will take your offer and raise you this 25 minute masterpiece:

I am a fan of old nickelodeon/cartoon network as anybody else, but I have to say adventure time is probably the best cartoon in recent memory.

 

OT: I've not seen any season 2 episode apart from the first one, university and rel life is getting in the way of my previous schedule, oh well, i'll watch the entire season during xmas, how's it holding up?
