Although I don't know if you noticed, but I fairly sure the Philomena my life is flashing before my eyes squeak is the same sound file from when Twilight met her in the pilot.
I bet it did die around the time Luna was banished, while it's not specified in MLP, the traditional life-span of a phoenix is 1000 years. Maybe all this will be resolved when Luna comes back for season 2. And while I would also like to see that, I'm afraid that the target audience does not care about Equestrian politics, so that is probably not going to happen. And some of the mystique of Celestia lies in that we really have no idea what she does besides raise the sun and send letters to Twilight.
Oh yeah, that was an interesting insert, although I think they belabored it a bit. Have some subtlety, guys, any 5 year old girl who is going to get it is going to get it almost right away. What do you think the over under odds are of the CMC finally getting their cutie marks in next week's episode? I'm hoping they will finally resolve that plotline, but I'm afraid they won't. The CMC are steadily improving, but they're more annoying than :3, which is realistic but still annoying, and they detract from the mane cast.
Unless I want to punish myself, I don't watch '80s cartoons because they were really bad, so I'm afraid I don't get the reference. Edited by Henry Plainview - 09 Apr 2011 at 4:07am |

I noticed that too, I also noticed it in Green Isn't Your Color, this time around Fluttershy and Twilight both had lots of good ones. No wonder Luna turned out the way she did, she probably never even caught a break with Philomena. ![]() ![]() Also, Angel did a great job as the White Rabbit.

Yeah, they did a Benny Hill segment in Ticket Master too. I thought it was just ok then, and it felt far too long the second time around. Anybody with a slight knowledge of mythology knew where it was going, stop padding out the episode with filler. The stylized giant Phoenix was nice, though. Otherwise it was great, it's almost as if they want to create more reaction macros with the expressions. And I was happy to see all the fan art of Celestia trolling vindicated. ![]() However, the moral was one of the most poorly thought out yet. On the surface, it was so far the moral that is probably most directly relevant to the target audience, but they were freaking out over nothing. I don't know if "Don't touch Mommy's stuff without asking because it might pretend to be broken just to fuck with you and then you will be afraid of being banished to the moon" is really a relatable message. Interestingly, Rainbow Dash also thought she was going to be banished to the Everfree Forest for screwing up the competition in Sonic Rainboom. I assume that interacting with somepony who is sort of your mother, your ruler, and the physical incarnation of your deity would be intimidating, but somepony really needs to tell her how she is perceived by her subjects. Maybe off-camera she rules with an iron hoof of friendship? Someone was complaining online that Fluttershy should have mentioned Luna when at the end Celestia asked her where she would get such an idea, but that sounds to me like the kind of flippancy that gets you banished to the moon!
I would like to apologize again for the state of the thread when you first opened it. I know internets are more precious over in kiwiland and making such a giant post was a noob mistake. Maybe I'll add some more linked art now that I know inlining anymore is out of the question. And yes, making that took a really fucking long time, especially since my computer crashed and I lost it halfway through the first time. ![]() |

I've always thought this deserved more views.
And was that a Road Runner reference in the latest episode? Edited by A Person - 09 Apr 2011 at 1:03am |

![]() ![]() ☆ I thought you hated everything Henry, what the hell is this? Everything except for ponies and underage Miley Cyrus. This is a show about brightly colored semi-magical ponies who live in Ponyville in the land of Equestria, ruled with an iron (but loving hoof) by the sun goddess, Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia cares deeply about friendship and Twilight must report every week what aspect of friendship she learned about this week (don't tell anyone, but Twilight may have Asperger's Syndrome). ☆ Why should I watch this? Because it's the only thing that makes me feel alive. Also, it is by Lauren Faust, who you may remember from Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary friends, so it is not your typical show for little girls. Also, the rest of the internet loves it and everyone loves a bandwagon! ☆ Where can I watch this? This is a list of episodes. It is aired on The Hub at 1:30pm Fridays EST, uploaded to Hubbworld.com a week after air, and available on iTunes on Sundays. Or, more practically YOUTUBE. It is probably easier to just search for an episode and ask Youtube to filter for HD, but here are some channels with copies. If you are new, I recommend Sonic Rainboom, Green Isn't Your Color, and/or Dragonshy. The pilot is a bit goofy and doesn't represent what the rest of the series is about. AngrytigerP (1080p, 22 minute Eps 1-3, 8, 13-21) MyLittlePony1080p (Eps 1, 2, 3, 13-19.5) Pensivepony (fast updates) Littlepony2011 (720p or 1080p) JunkiesNewb (Mixed, 720p & 22 minutes or lesser. Reuploaded MAST3RLINKX vids.) MenloMarseilles (360p, 22 minute Eps) ☆ There's no new episode for a week and I need more pony! Edited by Henry Plainview - 30 Sep 2011 at 11:58pm |
