Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.969696
Power Edition

Brief Introduction

Show

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a reboot of the MLP franchise by Powerpuff Girls artist Lauren Faust, currently viewed by (almost) the entire Internet, not only the intended audience. Here is a place where we discuss the joy of friendship.

> My Little Pony? Seriously?

It's a clever show. It has excellent writing, character dynamics, humor, animation, and generally treats kids seriously rather than condescending to them. It has every right to be a 20 minute corporate committee designed infomercial, but it's not.

> Isn't this a show for little girls?

Pixar technically makes shows for little boys, and produce some of the best animation in the world.

> Okay, fine. I'll give it a try. Where do I start?

No Brony could ask for more. I recommend watching the episodes in order. They're all up on Youtube. Unusually, Hasbro seems fine with having the entire series up in public because they've made no move to bring down any of the episodes. Search for "Friendship is Magic Episode 1" and you should find the series pretty easily... Or search for "Sharing is Magic" Google Doc. That is all.

> Okay, I'm going to watch it but this had better live up to the hype!

Whoa, calm down there. The show is light hearted, optimistic fun but it's not for everyone. It's good fun, the community is good fun, and everyone can do with a reminder that friendship is magic but if it doesn't gel for you we'll love and tolerate you anyway. Plus, you might hit the wrong episode. Ask first?

> Iron Hoof/Fan Theories/Shipping/Binding

All in good fun! If it's not your cup of tea, skim it, but this show has triggered a great creative outpouring from the Internet. Pony themed fan-art is abundant and often excellent. See below for some examples.

> Derpy Hooves/Doctor Whoof

Two minor background characters who were adopted as emblems of 4chan. Derpy Hooves is so named due to an animation error in the first episode that had her eyes facing in different directions; 4chan has assigned her the role of Ponyville's mailpony, and her only line so far has been "Muffins". The show's animators are aware of Derpy's popularity and she's shown up a few times recently with her eyes obviously derped. Currently made canon in Feeling Pinkie Keen and in Faust's picture showcased below, Derpy was deemed important enough to appear in storyboards for Season II.

Dr. Whoof is a pony with an hourglass cutie mark; he and his kin save time and space very quietly off camera.

Deadly's Ironically Presented Anti-Spoiler Measures

Spoiler

Show

DO YOU HATE SPOILER TAGS?

Well, Deadly's here to help you get rid of them... with a vengeance! Create a new bookmark in your browser and copy the code below as the link/url of said bookmark. Name it something helpful, like "Spoilers B GONE!" or whatever. Then whenever you view a thread here on GitP you just hit the bookmark and BAM! no more spoilers.

You won't even see the boxes, just the bare innards in all their gory glory.

It also makes sure that no image is wider than 600px, to avoid stretching pages, and will attempt to "intelligently" remove repeated images except avatars. Neat, huh? Sadly that last part means stuff like pony emotes may get lost but the forum doesn't make it easy for me to single out images in quotes as I'd have liked... that's an open problem, I guess.

Tested in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Should work in any modern browser, but you never know with these things.

javascript:(function() { var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block'; a[i].className = ''; } else if (a[i].className == 'pre-spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'none'; }} var ims = new Array(); var tmp; a = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { tmp = a[i].parentNode.className ; if (ims.indexOf(a[i].getAttribute('src')) == -1) { ims.push(a[i].getAttribute('src')); a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px'; } else if (tmp != 'avataroverflow' && tmp != 'alt2') { a[i].style.display = 'none' ; }}})();

If you don't mind repeated images, here's a version that leaves them be.

javascript:(function() { var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block'; a[i].className = ''; } else if (a[i].className == 'pre-spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'none'; }} a = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px'; }})();

Hurrah! A new thread!

If I can put in a very early entrant for the next thread title (if anyone remembers...):

My Little Pony LXXVI: Magic: It's not our crutch, it's arcane.

(In memory of twicane and the old UNIX quotes file...)

Well we have finally reached the max for new thread suggestions...

I know. I thought of it almost immediately after my other entry, and didn't want to put two in the same poll.

It's a bot. Everything it's posted is either snippets from previous posts or frome articles on Equestria Daily. This image has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. The signature is one of the least memorable lines from an episode.

They're certainly learning to blend, but they still can't make a bot that can do more than parrot things vaguely related to the subject on hand.

It just seemed odd that the join date was May 2012 if it was a bot.

If if indeed is a bot, then we should report it next time and let our resident penguin deal with it.



And as this is likely to be my last post this year, have a good new year everypony and I'll see you on the flipside.

[Trixie]

Hurrah! A new thread!

Yeah, I'd announce it in last one but no one posted and I didn't wanted to double post :(

On a side note, while Power Ponies clearly won due to competitors getting 1-2 votes multiple times, I think this is lowest vote for a victor in quite a while.

For those that don't like so much of the fun irrelevant-to-the-larger-theme episodes that have gone on with the new writer spree, it appears things are slowing down a bit to a different style.

Let's look at what we know

This week: Rarity must be fabulous in the face of unfabulousness
Next Week: Pinkie and AJ are probably going to learn lessons about what makes a family.
ep10: RD has another crisis of loyalty
ep11: Well this one can go in a lot of directions. Princess Giraffe-neck goes to meet with Princess Buyourtoyslittlegirls and somepony is sick (maybe Trixie)
ep12: And aspect of Pinkie's world view is challenged. Those usually go well, your views on a certain donkey not withstanding

[t209]

Due to the title, I am thinking about how would Power Ponies be like if it was written by Grant Marerison, or Grant Morrison (and someone made a pony out of him).

BATS!

Spoiler

Didn't like it. Which is a shame because it tackled an issue that's very important to me, that of the balance between nature and civilization.

That issue was quickly forgotten as instead we got Twilight failing another spell and a lesson on peer pressure (which is good in of itself)

Anyways my problems with this episode,

The song. I didn't like it. I didn't like it's style and I didn't like the visuals associated with it. And I didn't like it's position in the story.

Everypony siding with Applejack immediately, which actually doesn't really happen if you ignore the song. I'd have much preferred it if Applejack actually won over the rest of the Mane 6 while she and Fluttershy argued.

For that matter I kinda felt like Fluttershy's arguments were more ignored then argued against.

Rainbow Dash's obsession with cider felt a little overplayed.

Twilight's spell. I have no problem with it backfiring, or it even backfiring in a way this unusual. I have a problem with the solution itself. Because what in Equestria were these bats doing for food now? I suppose they picked up Fluttershy's food preferences instead, but wouldn't that be noticeable?

Random ominous lines from Twilight. Seriously what was up with that line about not leaving the orchard?

"Maybe we should do this I'm so....hungry."
"Oh don't worry Fluttershy, we'll be fine"
Rarity you weren't actually listening were you?

I kinda expected Flutterbat to actually get the giant apple. As is I think Applejack will be fine for the contest considering it only has a tiny cut on it.

Worst though was the when they 'chased' Flutterbat. Or as actually happened, Flutterbat dive bombs them, the Mane 6 stay perfectly still and don't really react, Flutterbat flies away. This happened how many times? Felt like at least three times. Too many in any case. Give us an actual chase with Flutterbat, even if it succeeds or fails.


Good things with the episode

Rarity has been on form and highly amusing throughout the episode.

The bat roundup was cool.

Good lessons learned. Touched on an important issue (nature vs civilization) at least.

The last exchange between Fluttershy and Pinkie was great.

The mirrors defeating Flutterbat was a clever vampire reference that I actually enjoyed and thought was amusing, if incredibly silly and nonsensical.

Overall

This felt like a really bad horror movie. It was following a lot of horror movie and vampire movie tropes, including the whole 'monster/evil isn't actually defeated DUNH DUNH DUNNNNNH!' thing (which I really really hate). The 'threat' of this episode was really really weak too. The worry about losing Fluttershy is real, but it felt poorly handled and was so easily solved. The vampire bats themselves seemed more of a minor problem due to Rainbow's overreaction about having no Apple Cider (which she missed for how many years anyways?) The song was bad (IMO of course) and I think dropping it in favor of expanding the argument between Fluttershy and Applejack would have been better. Or increasing the chase scene.

One more thing about Bats

Spoiler

Show

That end part with the fangs was not only referencing the worst trope to come out of horror movies ever, but was also completely pointless.

It means one of three things,

One; Fluttershy now goes 'batty' for apples. Solution? Keep her away from apples. While inconvenient, it's about as bad as a mild allergy, or a major allergy if she goes full bat.

Two; Fluttershy now needs to eat apples. Okay. It's not like eating apples is taboo or there isn't a giant source of apples nearby. It might be a problem if they get stranded on a deserted island but otherwise isn't a problem at all.

Three; Fluttershy will still go on apple drinking rampages. In which case the problem isn't actually solved and will have to be addressed in the next episode or so.


And the bonus fourth possibility that so stupid that it would literally cause him to stop watching the show. Fluttershy now needs to drink pony blood because...apples are red and so is blood?

reposted for being page 50.

If we have to end on a pun, let it be this one.

(Or is it a Swiftie...)

This episode does have great pun potential.

Sorry, was caught up helping family. My bad, give me 5 min, ok?

Don't worry Trixie, I don't demand you be on call for a new thread the instant we hit page 50. I was just impatient and really wanted to rant about the episode.

Well it seems I'm crystals outta luck. I simply cannot get my computer to connect to this network even though it has every correct setting like the other three pcs. Double frustration because this very computer worked here not 6 months ago.

I joined a faction today and guess what? Their rivals are called Equestrian Empire. Maybe I could build my town and named it St. Luna's Compact.

I couldn't help but notice the plot significance of the spoilered picture. It also appears that the text of the link corroborates this.

Secondly, your avatar appears much more depressed than normal. Like a general disinterest in all things.

Lastly, the pics in your other 3 spoilers on this page aren't showing. I admit I just come in to steal attention and look at pics.
