Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's a kids show, when you realy get down to it. Death is generaly a subject they cannot touch on directly, and need to at best only glance at when they do include it. I just found it more hillarious in how they kept evading using the word, as it was evident the writers were going "cmon, just this once?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 They've referenced death before, though. Twilight once said that she was going to do something "Even if it kills [her]" And while it wasn't outright stated, Sombra was explicitly killed in the Season 3 premiere.

Plus, we've seen funerals, and with Cerberus having escaped from guarding Tartarus, there's clearly an Underworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Though to be fair, I don't recall them specificly mentioning Tartarus being the "Underworld" of Equestria. To someone withouth the knowledge of where they got the name (The greek version of Hell), it's just a place. But regardless, things can change as the show goes along depending on the feedback they get from the "audience" (read, concerned parents). My guess is someone, or a few did not like them touching on stuff like death, and Hasbro cut back on it in turn as to not get in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Tartarus isn't the Underworld, just a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 My favorite ponies are Flim and Flam. For no reason other than I like their song, their machine, and their designs. They just look and sound cool. I also like Discord. Out of the main cast, my favorite is Twilight Sparkle. There's just something about her I like. Maybe it's that she's "Twilightlicious". Whatever happened to that meme anyway? My favorite episodes are Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, Sonic Rainboom, Lesson Zero, and Wonderbolts Academy.

FreelancerRaiko Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Alright time to hit you guys with a big discussion: IF THE CAST OF MLP WERE IN THE YUGIOH ANIME, WHAT DECKS WOULD THEY RUN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Rarity would run Gem-Knights or Crystal Beasts, I know that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelancerRaiko Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Nah definently Crystal Beasts, not Gem-Knights. After all they actually become the jewels themselves, and not to mention they have a dragon serving them. Get it. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight would play Spell books Rarity would play Crystal Beasts Rainbow Dash would play...Something twenty percent cooler than any other deck.

FreelancerRaiko Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Spike would use Hieratics (working for the sun get it?) and Big Mac would use Burning Knucklers. I can totally see him using counter moves and kicking someone's ass. I think I see Rainbow Dash using either Cloudians or Phantom Beast Planes, I had said Cloudians before Phantom Beast Planes were shown but now that they have yeah they seem to make more sense and Derpy would either be Cloudians or Frogs. Once again, I had said Frogs before the new Planes but now that Planes fit more with Dash I think Derpy would actually run Cloudians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Didn't we go over this a while ago? Anyway, my take on it: Twilight - Prophecies that tech Royal Magical Library Fluttershy - Rescue Rabbit-abuse Pinkie Pie - Madols Rarity - Gem-Knights AJ - There are next to no apple/cowgirl/etc cards O,o Rainbow Dash - Dash would be the only one who competes in Turbo Duels, and runs a Yusei.dek Spike - [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Knight_Draco-Equiste]Draco-Equiste[/url]-spam Celestia and Luna would be a tag team, and both run Incas. ????????????

[/quote] That...was pretty...just wow man really? The whole deck and archetype encompasses the characters' personalities, not just one thing. I mean yeah Fluttershy has bunny angel but Naturias just make more sense. We went over why Rarity would use Crystal Beasts instead. And Rainbow Dash running Yusei? wtf? Lol. But I think I see Applejack running Gemini's for some reason. Shining Armor would probably be running either Heroics or his own Noble Knights deck. I also say Constellars make more sense for Luna due to her also being with the night sky and stars, and maybe Nightmare Moon would use Verz. Celestia would probably run Lightsworn though. And Discord would just use whatever the f*** he wanted >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Tomarrow is a Aj episode.[quote name='-Issun-' timestamp='1354668397' post='6085462'] I won't just leave. The show is good, but it's just some of the fanbase that's annoying. It's easier to complain than to isolate myself from the sane members. [/quote] I think you should.

Sleepy Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Posted when my timeline says 3am. Now I know why I never get to post it nowadays xD I like having some Applejack love there. [spoiler=Spoiler] She overplanned things but still managed to plan them wrong. -You don't tell little kids to run a mile for fun over a hill as the first part of a rase. Even high schoolers find it as a chore to run the mile on flat ground. -She doesn't understand the joy of doing something, and thinks only about efficiency with the knitting machine, and the apple bread-things. -The bat insident was unexpected though. There are way more fruits on those trees than on that hat. -The end is bittersweet to me. Going to a family reunion and being asked to help them construct their property is a chore more than anything. I can only understand it because it's supposed to be a symbol of the whole family (funny how Applejack has reconstructed it on her own at least 3 times throughout the series, so I can only assume the old people were lazy). [/spoiler] I overall liked the episode, but I don't enjoy it as much when the lesson of the day is learned because the main character didn't have the most basic common sense to realize there was something wrong there. Seriously, how many watchers didn't immediately know where this was all going and how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namo™ Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I rather enjoyed the new episode. Applejack finally got her own episode. I loved the Apple family and it just reminds me of the family get togethers. A lot of people could relate. Also, apparently the apple family has some unicorn fillies.
