MLP:FiM Megathread: Does anyone even watch this show anymore edition

[Pike]

I like the CMC. I like the other ponies too. Snails is the most underrated pony in the show.

I started out as a CMC hater, but the little buggers have grown on me. I wish they would drop that kind of love on other background ponies though. Big Macintosh is dying for an episode, and between blues, octavia, lyra, DJ Pon-3 and the other musically oriented ponies, its a small wonder that we haven't come across some kind of battle of the bands thing yet.


Also, to induce brick crapping, go back to episode 1. Check out the shot of Applebloom when Luna drops in, a full eleven episodes before meeting the other CMC's.

I freaking loved Big Mac in episode 3 of season 2.

Though as much as I love him, I don't know if he warrents his own episode. I have no idea what they could do with him.

Gonna drop a link to the finalized Ponython info in this thread in case anyone hasn't seen it!

[NeoCracker]

Oh and Yes, Snails is awesome.

I started out as a CMC hater, but the little buggers have grown on me.

A lot of former haters are talking like that; I think the reason I never hated them myself is because I started on one of their episodes, and then concerntrated on them first. Other fans started at the begining and focused on the main characters, and then suddenly there's three kids out of nowhere (even though one of them has been in since the first episode as a minor character) so it's just a matter of the way I watched the episodes, I guess - they just grew on me faster.

Actually, for me, it's just that the writing for them is pathetic. It's the only story in the series which has no conclusion. During their episodes, they are always doing the exact same thing. Their talents are obvious, anyone who watches the CMC shows can tell what they are going to be, but they studiously ignore them in every episode and just rehash their hunt, which never goes anywhere. It's dull, poorly written, and boring.

The last episode was good because it actually showed another side to the ponies. They were doing something different, and the story actually had a conclusion. There was more to their personalities than just "Find Cutie Mark, Yay!".

[MJN SEIFER]

I like it, but it means more to me.

I think that the reason those episodes have no conclusion is because they're all part of one big story, and yeah I get that they're over looking their talents, but who's to say that the majority of characters didn't do that? You have to remember they're pretty young. I'm hoping that they will find their marks one day - in fact I'm hoping that the writers will do the right thing, and have them get their marks close to each other so it will be an epic ending to the story. Regardless of how many fans they have, they should have an emotional conclusion. Maybe have something link them together how they get their marks, like the main six, but without blatently coppying it.

The newest episode, The Cutie Pox, is pretty good. Though I find the first two minutes the best part because of this!



AWWW YEEEEAAAH! The Big Lebowski reference ftw!

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Hells yeah. I took the same sceenshot like an hour ago. The pony abides.

[Madame Adequate]

Welp, despite this being a show with an abundance of superlative musical numbers like At The Gala, Winter Wrap-Up, and Art of the Dress, they just topped everything with today's episode.

Best. Musical number. Ever.

[Pike]

Ponies confirmed for curling and Rainbow Dash confirmed for leader of the Maremacht.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Sorry, nothing ever tops Winter Wrap Up. Winter Wrap Up is eternal.

edit: Though This Leaked Spoiler of a Season 2 Song is growing on me super effing hard.

[Madame Adequate]

Honestly every time a new song rolls around it's the New Best Thing Ever, but that little Rarity number just... I can't even handle it, that was so awesome, I want to be a gorgeous gorgeous pony.

[MJN SEIFER]

Here's a thought; while there's a tiny possability that in the first episode the CMCs just held on to closest ponies and then forgot about each other until they met again, what I don't about them meeting each other for the "first time" in the later episode is that two of them are related to the main characters - since their sisters are friends wouldn't they have at least heard of each other before?

Also the fanbase has finally been given the Cracked treatment, I was dreading this because Cracked can be really obnoxious sometimes (usually with cartoons/movies I liked as kid), but it really wasn't that bad.

[Goldenboko]

I'm an engineer: I hate happiness, smiles, ponies, and this show.

[MJN SEIFER]

That's okay, you can't like everything
