My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

[Daxdiv]

Just watched the cutie mark episode.

That was certainly an interesting take on menstruation, I can say that much.

I don't know why I thought that getting a Cutie Mark was a metaphor for getting boobs, or puberty in general, mostly puberty. But then again, I never read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret " but still, it's a pretty odd episode  to watch and truly a moment of getting crap past the radar. I guess the moral of them being fulled of potential and finding out who your true friends are was something that glossed it over.

Also, I heard for Feeling Pinkie Keen, Lauren Faust was kind of freaked out that people were misinterpreting the message. She said if she knew that it would cause that, she would have reworked the moral in that episode.

I can see what she was talking about there. There's some issues on faith being discussed there, but I don't think Lauren or the rest of the staff had any real intention on expanding upon that. Maybe she should have messed with that a little, I dunno.

And the cutie mark one can probably be interpreted for puberty in general, but I got a Judy Blume vibe from it, especially since it was about a bunch of girls talking about not getting their "cutie marks" yet and "not being special". There was definitely some connotation to menstruation and breasts in there.

And yet the thing I enjoyed from that ep most were the gummy gator and Twilight getting a piano dropped on her.

Someponies need to lighten the fuck up.

[Avaitor]

Hey, a Fluttershy ep. Cool.

When did Rarity have a little sister, though?

[Spark Of Spirit]

I don't think she was ever established before, but I think it's only Rarity and Applejack that have sisters.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, the Cutie Crusaders aren't too great but I don't think they're so annoying.

Not liking that this is the second episode in a row they have, though. Already not off to a great start.

[Spark Of Spirit]

The last CMC episode aired so far is probably the best one overall, but yeah I agree. The episodes should have been spaced out better in terms of characters, I'm not sure why they aired them in pairs like that.

[Avaitor]

Okay, I see why you all like Rarity.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Okay, I see why you all like Rarity.

Damn straight.

I like it when characters play with the cliche, and she all about destroyed them in that episode.

[Avaitor]

And this is why Fluttershy is the best pony.

I like using the show to mess around with my friends. Some of them actually enjoy what they've seen from the clips I send to them, and one of them is already a big fan to begin with. Her fav is Rarity as well.

[Dr. Insomniac]

So yeah, I've been infected with the Pony plague. So far, Pinkie Pie's my favorite character.

[Spark Of Spirit]

So yeah, I've been infected with the Pony plague. So far, Pinkie Pie's my favorite character.

It's surprisingly good, huh?

It's too bad some of the crazier fans are ruining the fun of the show by spamming memes around it, but it's a really good show.

[Spark Of Spirit]

New episode was great, other than the usual awesomeness of Rarity and Pinkie (Who cartwheel kicks someone in the face, wtf) it was nice seeing another episode centered on Fluttershy and the bird was a great comedic foil. It was also funny seeing Twilight be absolutely at wits end trying to help Fluttershy return the bird to Celestia.

I also enjoyed the remix of the Benny Hill style theme from the ticket episode.

[Avaitor]

Watching it now.

Heh, I like the Alice reference in the opening. And Fluttershy.

The party scene was great. The core ponies each get a chance to shine with their personalities.

Anyone else notice how the medicine looks like candy corn?

Well, that was alright. The party scene and a little of the end aside, there wasn't much with any of the ponies besides Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy, but what we got when they appeared was good, and I like how they skipped Twilight's moral at the end. Not one of the best, but enjoyable.

[Avaitor]

Just watched the new one. Eh, it was more cute than funny, which I feel is true for most of the Cutie Mark Crusader eps so far. I liked discovering how the ponies got their cutie marks, but it wasn't one of the better ones.
