Justice Master Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Because, the know-it-all image is the best of all!!!!1!! Not really. I just kinda wanted to step back for a moment and even be critical of my hyper-hatred for the show which, if I remember correctly, can be found earlier in this thread. Though I dislike the show, it really isn't that bad. It just has a lot of problems with image and some of its supporters being ridiculous, but everything has that problem. I think it just came from overhype and general overexposure that caused the backlash that people like me gave a name to. Not a particularly grand time, but I think it shows that people really oughta wait for fandoms to mature a little before outrage is had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's about image. This show, its followers, haters, and everyone who has to deal with both whining all the time just is a giant ego thing. It feels good to go against the grain, and that's why both sides hate or love this show, because it's not the cool thing to do. This then attracts people who think side X or Y is cool to join. What is left when you remove fanbases and hatedoms is a mediocre kid's show that hits its audience and has some crap put in to make it look superficially more adult. Referencing things doesn't make you complex. Complexity comes from subject matter which this show just uses tired tropes and character archetypes to show. g8 b8 m8, I r8 8/8. It just has a lot of problems with image and some of its supporters being ridiculous, but everything has that problem. Too be honest I don't see very many problems when it comes to the image, if you're referring to the animation, of the show itself. If anything I believe it's one of the more steady in visual representation- though nothing essentially difficult or grand. If you're referring to the image MLP gives out towards an audience, then I can understand . . . I think it just came from overhype and general overexposure that caused the backlash that people like me gave a name to. Not a particularly grand time, but I think it shows that people really oughta wait for fandoms to mature a little before outrage is had. That;s true. I can still remember before I liked MLP the fact that I didn't want to see it because of the people who constantly wanted me to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeline15 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 nah, it went to the homepage from the moment I posted it. dunno what I did wrong. On another note, a second trailer is now up. Seems like they're turning the banter between the characters up to 11.The dialogue got so much better around season 3 or 4, and I'm glad that trend has continued. Also, who are you aria blaze lookalike?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering the timeline basically states that the mane six have been friends for over an entire year now, you'd expect their banter to get increasingly better the more shared history and knowledge they know about each other. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/02/equestria-girls-friendship-games.htmlafter the success on the 2nd one. let see if this will top it and if that human counter part twilight going to be in it. Okay. So. I took a look at the picture and I'm actually a little bit shocked that . . . I see no Applejack. I mean I can understand Rarity not wanting to be a part of the "Friendship Games", which if it's based off of the Equestria Games I desperately hope it's not going to be as big of a letdown, because of her not wanting to "get sweaty." But why no Applejack!? This seems right up her ally! *sits in corner* I thought I had a week of freedom here and yet you had to post. You have nothing to add on MLP and I do. Deal.

DL Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I am sooooo worried about that picture. It looks like they're trying to copy Monster High. If they stick with the designs of EQ2, I will be fine. If they begin making them 90% makeup and fashion, I will be very.....worried.

Timeline15 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 pictures of that sort have been appearing since the first film. Not to mention the wider disconnect between the show and the toys since way back in season 1. Rest assured the characters will still look fine in the movie (they might make some questionable clothing choices, no change there) but other than that, fine. One of these days, I would like them to actually start making show accurate toys. As in, the main toyline, not the vinyl figures that are clearly meant for adult fans. Surely kids who watch the show will be annoyed if the toys look nothing like the character they wanted? I know that's what I was like with various toylines as a kid. If they had a show or movie, I wanted the toys to match how the characters looked. That's not wierd is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
