Manehattan - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[Oppressorion]

Here's a question, if Eps 1+2 were always supposed to air on the same day, why did they bother with a cliffhanger, why not just make a longer episode and not run the credits and intro twice for one story?

Reruns. It's a bitch to schedule, like, fifty thirty-minute episodes in one time slot, and also squeeze in one hour-long episode once. It's easier if all episodes are the same length.

Even so, it's not much to have a "Special length premier episode" and then have a slightly different cut for reruns. What's the point in having an end of episode cliffhanger That's gonna be resolved in what, five minutes?

[Sinovet]

I...don't know what that means. You don't like me now, do like me now, don't care now? What?

Anyway, please note I said "not yet, anyway", implying that borification may occur in the future, further implying that any lack of current broification is not due to any sort of animosity or dislike, but rather to the fact that I don't know who any of you are.

*In German accent* You are not friendshipping correctly! Now start over and try again!

Start over? But I though I was doing fine! Also it's taken me over a decade of observing from outside the zone of friendship to get where I am now. I'm working on it, ok?

Es so Freundschaft.

Too much work, it's just easier to have the premier be two separate episode already.

The point is to not deathmurder the audience with suspense. We've been waiting for months for that premier! We want a resolution!

I think the first season premier was the only time we had to wait for an entire week for part two.

EDIT: We had to wait for part two on the Season 2 premier as well.

[Orangi]

So. To an earlier point, 'bout an hour ago now, my apologies, scheduled things and whatwhosits.

Rule 63. I tire of feminine '63s of the ponies. Notably Elusive, i figure he'd be the exact opposite of Rarity, rather than being a lady in men's clothing he'd be a proper genetlemen with the suave.... Suaveness, you'd expect a proper gentleman to have. Thankfully ponies such as Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash tend to have interchangable-with-men personalities but there still should be alterations that would fit.

And hopefully less dreadful names, it's not hard to come up with something better than Bubble Berry or Butterscotch. Even the name Elusive isn't quite proper I don't think.

R63 isn't quite done right in this fandom yet and I see that as sort of a problem since the subject has a solid following.

Well, I wouldn't know about that. I wasn't a Brony back then! Hadn't even heard of the show...

Pinkie and Dan

I am ok with this.

[Ximea]

Staying up all night making fun of bad movies with Princess Celestia before she tiredly lies her head on my lap, drifting off to sleep.

Wake up tied to a bed, looking at Rarity's closet shrine to me.

I've gotten out of worse situations.

Elusive would be a suave male.
The r63 names are a bit odd, but then again, Some of the pony names seem to be a bit odd once you think about it.
I see a lot of Dusk and Blitz, that's because Twilight and RD are quite easy to genderswap.

Well yeah half the team has a relatively androgynous personality set. Shoot let's look at Fluttershy/Butterscotch. Men and Women do react to things differently, doesn't the idea of Shy(guy) running that animal house, as it may as well be, kind of intrigue you? Less motherly, perhaps more fatherly? could be seriously interesting.

And yes, I think most of us could easily agree that Elusive just ain't portrayed right. Why's he gotta' be a total fop? Rarity's a proper lady, a guy version of her would be the exact counterpart to it. Again, Twi, Dash, they can suddenly be dudes and have literally no change what so ever.

Another Ameri vs. the Bronies

I think Ameri might be real Dan.

Hmm. I suppose Butterscotch would be a fatherly animal caretaker. He is shy and introverted, like his regular mare version, therefore Butterscotch would rather spend time with animals than ponies.
Elusive is usually shown as Rarity with a penis and a different shaped head, so many people ask "Is Elusive gay?" Since he is a fop, but he is Camp Straight or metro. Rarity was indicated to be attracted to stallions, so Elusive is attracted to mares.

Thank you. That's the biggest problem with Rule 63. I wouldn't put it past Elusive to shoot both ways to a degree, Rarity either, but they're both predominantly if not entirely straight. That's just a fact.

And I figure that Dusk would oddly enough be Shining Armor in many ways (If you've read the comic, you know exactly what I mean.)

That is a solid list btw

That part I didn't like.

And not a single surprise was given that day.

Your just like him. Always grouchy and highly critical, but with a couple soft spots. Dan has his cat, Mr. Mumbles, you have Fluttershy. You seeing the parallels here?

Yeah, Dusk Shine would kind of be like Shining Armor, thus Gleaming Shield is like Twilight, but they have different colors and fates.

Kayo's list was pretty bang-on.

Ameri compliments one of Sinovet's points? Double Apocalypse!
