Lyichir Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Based on people's lists of their other favourite shows, there seems to be a pretty big overlap with the Doctor Who fandom. Is this all because of a certain background pony, or is there another reason?Avatar: The Last Airbender also seems popular, but I find that one less surprising for some reason...And of course Bionicle, since the plots are similar (for the Season openers at least,) except they're using the elements of Harmony, not those of nature, and they're all girls instead of five guys one girl. Avatar: The Last Airbender is essentially the same thing, but with like four people. (again, only one girl.) Except this show is more awesome because ponies are the manliest things to dwell the earth (save for Chuck Norris,) and it has an awesome recreation of the scene from the end of Star Wars IV.Yeah, since we're all Bionicle fans (or, at least, were at some point), I figured the Airbender overlap was because of the similarities to Bionicle, not MLP.The similarities other people have mentioned between MLP and Bionicle only serve to convince me that Bionicle could have done really well as a flash-animated TV show.I don't know about BIONICLE, seeing as BIONICLE parts are quite high in detail. Part of me wishes Ninjago were flash-animated, though; I feel CGI is somewhat overdone for LEGO animations, and Flash would give it more of that Saturday Morning cartoony goodness.

Kaleidoscope Tekulo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Avatar: The Last Airbender is essentially the same thing, but with like four people. (again, only one girl.)(Avatar had the girl/guy ratio split pretty evenly, actually. Toph, contrary to a not very popular belief, is a girl. XD Oh, and Azula, Mai and Ty Lee are girls too... As is Suki... Not to mention the background characters that are given plot points... Avatar isn't really an offender on that front when you think about it. =/ In fact, the episode where they get to the Northern Water Tribe and Katara fights injustice against women benders... I'm getting off topic... XD)Anyway, who's pumped for the new episode? Can't wait to see another Spike one (although, I hope it's better than the first. The one with Owlicious/however his name is spelled. ><). Then again, his evil laugh was fun.

Makaru Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) "That jarhead! Didn't she learn her lesson last year, when she went west?"I don't think she said Jarhead. Then Derpy wouldn't be a mail carrier, but an ex-marine suffering from PTSD. Her character would go from comical and light-hearted to depressing. It would explain a lot, though.MLP - Taxi Driver.
