BRONY THREAD

[Sir Legit]

I had both my Earth Science and Algebra 2 exams today, and they're my last exams of the year. I'd say my summer is going rather well considering I'm only about 2 hours into it.

And how about you? Doing/done antyhing fun this summer?

I just went to my third Equestria Girls meetup. I loved it, and I can't get the songs out of my head. Anyone else see the movie? What did you guys think?

Spoiler for That movie about horse women:

I LOVED it! I found myself smiling for most of the movie. The fan service and jokes relating back to the episodes (Pinkie's psychic abilities, SpikexRarity, the exact recreation of Twi and Flutters original meeting back in Ponyville) were abundant, but not overboard. I also liked Trixie's peanut butter cracker addiction and the CMC posting their song on YouTube.

Overall, the plot was great. It established the "united we stand" theme that the show's been going at since it began. I liked the Quantum Leap style dimension travel, where all of Twi's friends exist in the other dimension, yet they don't know her. From the trailer I was thinking that all of the mane six went in the portal with Twilight, but the way they did it made it better. Sunset Shimmer, although she appeared to be the "school bully," she was actually a really well-developed character. It made sense that she tried to take over human world after Celestia wouldn't let her rule Equestria. The ending "fight" scene gave me goosebumps; when Sunset shimmer turned into a demon it was freaking scary (in a good way), and certainly unexpected for a movie with a "girly" aura.

The animation was same as always, they kept the same general faces despite having new bodies. It was easy to believe they were the same lovable ponies, as they even maintained their personalities they had from the original show.

One more thing, the songs. They were good, but nothing special that caught my interest.

Overall, I give it... a decent 13.5 out of 10. It was a really well done movie that shattered my expectations.

One more thing...

Spoiler for Equestria Girls:

Forgot to address one other thing. From the trailer, it seemed like if there was going to be any romance, it was going to be the teen drama stuff, but once again that wasn't the case. It was cute. Extremely cute, especially the point where you find out (super spoiler) Flash Sentry is actually a guard from Equestria that went through the portal to protect Twilight.

Well, the second trailer put me back on the fence, and the positive feedback kinda makes me want to see it. Idk, probably will when it comes out on DVD.

[alxg833]

Or you could watch it now! (Get popcorn!)

Well then, I do believe it is less then a month until a new season!

*Searches online* You're right! I know where I'm going to be the 23rd... Besides the build room if we intend on meeting then, in that case I might DVR it.

OMG people I relate to! :3

I don't know much about ponies, but I've been in Baltimore long enough to know enough about it.

So it started this morning at Ramp Riot when I stopped by the FTC competition to check out what's going on. Oddly enough, I spot someone with the last name of "Octavia" on the registration sheet that's crossed out and replaced with a real name. :0

Then when I came back during lunch break, I spot duct tape on a laptop referring the the show's protagonist, Twilight Sparkle. It was sitting on the table behind the FTC field probably controlling the music, and had a bucket of mints in front of it:



I also noticed red duct tape on the referees that weren't wearing a black/white striped jacket.

'Twinkie Pie' refers to the pink party animal character, Pinkie Pie, possibly eating a twinkie:



And then there's 'Prancing Unicorn', possibly referring to the ostentatious dress perfectionist Rarity:



I have also seen a random sing language "J" hanging on a wall. I think that this may be a Homestuck reference, but I am quite suspicious that it may have something to do with MLP:



I was pretty much the only person who got the "inside joke", and when I approached the referees about the red tape on the back on their shirt they had no clue what it referred to but liked the "names they were given".

It's either that they're secretly bronies, someone running the event is a brony, or some mischievous brony injected some pony into a FIRST event. Who knows?

Very amusing, someone sure had a nice laugh.

And I have no idea what the J sign is.

[michchinn]

I believe the J sign is referring to Wissahickon's J hall

According to twitter, someone's doing it wrong.



I'm not trying to be mean, but you should be watching the kickoff instead of My Little Pony right now. There's a lot of good things being announced right now!

[Ivan_Yuri]

The kickoff..... MLP Season 4......


....

GAAH WHY CAN'T I HAVE BOTH?!?!


EDIT:

Oh, and I'm currently swapping between this thread, the Kickoff threads, FIMFiction, and the actual kickoff presentation in Houston....

[ILikePizza555]

I wonder if "BATS!" counts as a bat-pony episode. I really wanted one this season.

Also, I like how no one seems to notice that Twilight is an alicorn. Maybe it's because alicorn exists outside of royalty and are just rare? Idk.
