Lyichir Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 So, who here plans to try to snag the Derpy toy next month when it goes up on Hasbro's online shop after Comic-Con? I've got a $30 Groupon and I know where I'm spending it. =P~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)The only ponies I collect are the "Playful Ponies"-scale brushables. Since the Derpy is at the "Fashion Style" scale, I'm not that interested. Although since the Fashion Style one is being given away as a promo, it may be too much to hope for that Derpy will ever appear at another scale in general retail.

I read that article as well, and it makes a lot of sense. The Love part of it is still pretty prevalent but the more i think about it, tolerance isn't really taught in the show. Like at all.

Alyska Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It was an interesting read. I agree with most of it, but I guess you could almost say it reconstructs the idea of tolerance into something more substantial. Sure, you don't have to accept people like Gilda and Trixie as your friends, but there are ways to deal with their behaviour without being unnecessarily catty or cruel. There's a bit of the "accept others' differences" element of tolerance in there- Twilight's acceptance of Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie Sense", the mutual respect developed between the ponies and the buffalo- but interestingly enough, those episodes tend to get accused of being a bit clumsy in the message department more frequently than any others. I would say "tolerating" haters is still definitely in the spirit of the show, however. "Loving" them is perhaps an exaggeration, but being able to accept that yes, there are people in the world who will go out of their way to try and upset you, and no, you don't have to respond with bitterness and hatred. Responding with cheerful indifference can be an effective way to deal with unpleasant people if you can pull it off, but the show does offer other solutions as well- calm assertiveness (Fluttershy) or making light of the situation (Pinkie Pie) can work too.I tend towards Twilight Sparkle's style, myself- if a conflict is born out of ignorance, sometimes a good lecture can help, but I will be the first to admit that it's not always effective...

Bundalings Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Stall would be a better ability for Fluttershy, IMO.Also for Fluttershy; Accupressure and After You would be pretty good moves. Except After You would be completely worthless with Stall so maybe Serene Grace is good after all. Quote I want to THRIVE Not just survive.

Alyska Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Serene Grace was based on the "Ach! Even her sneezes are graceful!" thing, but perhaps it would work better on Rarity instead. Fluttershy could maybe have something like Run Away or Rattled. I was also thinking Glare in Fluttershy's moveset, possibly in place of Sing...

And maybe Leer. She's gotta have some kind of move related to her trademark "stare" after all! And Glare couldn't work since it's pretty much exclusive to snake Pokemon (it's called "Snake Glare" in Japan) and pretty evil-looking to boot.The disadvantage to this is that Fluttershy would have only one damaging move. But on the other hand, isn't that Fluttershy in a nutshell?In other news, I now have a new pony-themed desktop background! Specifically, this one but with a black background instead of a white one (because a desktop with a white background BURNS MY EYES).

High Voltage Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Four days without a new pony post? Noooooo!So when you do think the show is gonna end? I'm thinking within the next two seasons.Awww.... I don't really want it to end but as it eventually will, I hope it lasts at least 6-8 seasons. Lauren Faust's shows usually last six seasons and it's quite a strong brand now, so Hasbro wouldn't end it too soon. Other than that, the only chance I'll have to go to any conventions is in 2 years where I could go to america during a gap year, so I hope it lasts more than 4 seasons for my own reasons as well.And apart from not being able to go to bronycon, now my internet is being really slow, so I can't even watch the videos EQD posted of the events. Also, Octavia is now canon! Or at least I think this is the first time she's been named. But still, pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coob Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) The show will be produced as long as people watch it. And people will watch it as long as it's good. So it will probably end when they run out of episode ideas or can't keep up the current quality of the show for some reason. So far, I see no evidence of that happening anytime soon. I'm hoping for at least 5 seasons and perhaps a movie.

BioGio Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lauren Faust's shows usually last six seasons and it's quite a strong brand now, so Hasbro wouldn't end it too soon.Yeah, I've seen that idea circulating around quite a bit recently for whatever reason. It's worth pointing out that most of Faust's work before has had 13-episode seasons. Also, people have a weird habit of attributing anything Faust worked on solely to her, as though she were the producer of, say, Foster's.As for length, about 65 episodes is the norm for syndication of a children's show. Based also on Hasbro's other properties, I'd say that three or four seasons is a likely bet. I'd say four, but with two 13-episode seasons.~ BioGio Quote dig "You're a scientist?

I thought it was going to last six seasons before I knew that, okay. I also know that Lauren is not responsible for most of the episodes, and I know the names of a lot of the staff who are. I get why you would have thought otherwise though, I guess I worded it like I'd thought that Lauren owned the show.And though hasbro's other series may last shorter, those franchises don't have as wide an audience that this show does. I don't think they ever had as large of an adult audience in addition to the intended child demographic in the history of the company, though I may be wrong.So apparently Mic's been getting a lot of hate recently. Anyone know anything about this? Something about a stage dive during his set, or...?Agree with Valenti here, not really a hate worthy thing.
