Re: BRONY THREAD
 

I'm actually pretty excited to see how this all plays out.

Which sucks, I heard it was because, by law, if their trademark isn't properly enforced then they lose it.

This does add another reason to the C&Ds and whatnot. I really hope they don't become like Disney.

EDIT: I decided to copy and paste this from reddit:

So, don't jump the gun JUST yet. Let's wait and see what happens, and watch how it all play out.

On different news, episode was good!

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

What's our policy on discussing spoilery things, as I haven't seen the episode yet. Is it true this episode has 2 parallel storylines? Because we've been waiting for that for a while.

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

That's what the [spoiler] tag is for :P

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

Well, I can see just how much the recent events have rocked the fandom (and this thread).

Honestly, my thoughts about the whole thing are kinda mixed. Firstly, about the C&D letters, it really sucks to have a project you've been hard at work on for close to two years (I forget when they actually started that) just suddenly have to stop and cause you to throw away everything you've done. That really sucks. Also, the fact that the brony doc turned out to be kinda...well, you know. That also sucks. All the drama in the fandom nowadays about every little thing just honestly puts a bad taste in my mouth. It makes me yearn for 2011, back before Derpy became a mainstay Where's Waldo gag in S2, and the show was good just by being unique, not by using the ideas that the fandom comes up with. However, that may also be due to Hasbro's bigger impact on the show's writing, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

To be honest, it feels like Hasbro's becoming controlling to everybody now, and becoming somewhat of a dictator, instead of the docile big brother from before, who didn't seem to mind all the fan content and re-uploads, and even, in some cases, praising it. Also, with certain tweets from the writers themselves (http://i.imgur.com/2k25vdb.png, https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/statu...16685649842176, and https://twitter.com/fyre_flye/status/300098640150687744) it really seems like the Hasbro-created show is just going to be on a downward drop.

Equestria Girls...I dunno. I'd have to see what it would be like, like with LPS.

And the Alicorn Twilight. I'm excited to see if they can end off a season spectacularly, just like they did with every other season. I have faith.

Well, that was a long time of typing and probably has many errors, but at least I got out what I felt like saying.

Episode 12 covers what the Mane 6 are doing while they leave Spike by himself in Episode 11.
So not two parallel storylines in the same episode, but two parallel storylines nonetheless.

Too fake to be real.

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

Hasbro has no choice in taking down fan content when it gets too big. Either take it down, or loose their trademark. Also, people overreact all the time, in every fandom. It's just that since we are more "together," more people get informed of news than it would be otherwise.


Well lets see here:

Why it's not credible:

• Come from a tumblr blog called f***-no-my-little-pony
• Characters are poorly drawn compared to the background. (In fact, isn't that from yesterday's episode?)
• Not confirmed by Hasbro

Why it is credible:

• "Equestrian girls" and the fact that it will be aimed at teens strongly implies that it won't be the ponies we know and love. Especially when all teenage girls like is Justin Bieber, Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, etc.

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

Even if, worst possible case scenario, there's something horribly awful waiting for us, and the fandom sets with Season 3, I would be OK with that. Ponies gave me something truly wonderful, and helped me transition from childhood to adulthood. I would definitely do it all again, and I'm happy with the way it worked out. And if the fandom continues, well, that's even better! Just remember, however sad the ending may be, My Little Pony still happened, and we can be thankful for that. (Now if I could only say the same thing about the fact that I have no team... *RAGES*)

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

There is going to be a learning curve for both the fan base and content owners but eventually equilibrium will be reached. Even if Hasbro went completely crazy they can’t logistically nor legally take down all the fan content.

Did you ever find out what happened with your team?

Re: BRONY THREAD
 

Oh how true that is. Even if Hasbro spent more than infinity dollars in taking down all the content, we would probably just move to the darknet.

Yea, it's mainly just the 'big' projects that get hit, so the logical course is to say nothing till it is done!
