My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic V3 - "Convert or Consume"

[saddasta]

In this thread we have only one major rule:
[h2]Porn is strictly forbidden. It's disgusting. and we want no part of it.
This thread is for discussing the show MLP:FiM, not exchange pictures of ponies fucking eachother. Go away.[/h2]

If you came to this thread for the sole purpose of being a dickwad (which is the most likely reason), here's our general response:

However if you have so much as [i]half[/i] a brain, read on and at least try to stay civilized.

[h2]Okay, why should I watch this?[/h2]
It's directed, produced, and overseen by Lauren Faust, wife of Craig McCracken. You might know her better from work such as [b]The Powerpuff Girls[/b] and [b]Foster's

Home for Imaginary Friends[/b]. This is a woman who A. knows what she's doing, and B. doesn't go for the old "let's throw tea parties and defeat villains by sharing"

bullshit.

And this shows though, STRONGLY, in Friendship is Magic. It feels much more like the Powerpuff Girls than any previous MLP cartoons-- the writing is clever and snappy,

the humor is surprisingly witty, the voice acting is top-notch, the characters are distinct and likable, and in every episode there’s at least one joke or reference

which was clearly put in more for the adults watching than the kids.

Oh, and the art is damned good too.

[h2]I don’t believe you. A My Little Pony cartoon that doesn’t rot your teeth?[/h2]
I know! But this thing is on FIRE. Despite a rather unfortunate timeslot it's found a wide and devoted audience already, and is quickly shedding the old albatross of

girl's cartoons past. A good chunk of that audience, surprisingly, is also male, and in the 20-35 demographic--though most of those would probably never admit to

watching it, at least not in public.

But beware! If you want to watch this show, you might not want to [i]start out[/i] with Episodes 1 and 2, as those are extremely cheese and flat out generic. If you

don't care about chronological order, most people will recommend you watch the episode "Sonic Rainboom" instead.

[h2]Major Characters[/h2]
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/B6Omy.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Twilight Sparkle:[/b] The de facto leader of our central cast. A unicorn who’s extremely book smart and good at magic, but is a bit new to this “social life” thing.

She’s been assigned by her boss, Princess Celestia, to study the “magic of friendship” in Ponyville, which is the excuse for the plots-of-the-week and the Mork Calling

Orson bits at the end of each episode.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/2uUyD.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Spike:[/b] Twilight’s assistant/friend/baby dragon/personal mail system. Though he’s supposed to be helping Twilight study magic, his job is mostly to provide

snark. He’s also one of only two legacy characters in the series, thanks to Hasbro losing the licenses to the old ponies. The other one is...

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/8TRuL.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Applejack:[/b] An earth pony who is proprietor and operator of Sweet Apple Acres, an orchard outside of town. Applejack is stubborn, blunt, and not much given to

subtlety, but she’s also honest, reliable, and as faithful a friend as you could ask for.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/FfeGY.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Rainbow Dash:[/b] A pegasus pony who LOVES to fly--preferably fast, and flashy. Rainbow Dash is in charge of keeping Ponyville’s weather under control, and though

she’s a bit proud and insensitive at times, she cares deeply for her friends, and would never leave them--except maybe in her dust.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/UEGPh.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Pinkie Pie:[/b] Pinkie Pie is an earth pony who is the living embodiment of a sugar rush. She loves to party, and celebration seems to follow her like a wake behind

a ship. If she has an off button, it hasn’t been found yet--but though she can be a bit irritating, she’s always a joy to have around.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/F9vNI.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Rarity:[/b] Rarity is a unicorn who is all about the fashion. She runs a fashion shop of her own in Ponyville, and is quite the artiste. She’s somewhat posh and a

bit of a perfectionist, which can lead to her clashing with the down-to-earth Applejack, but if her friends or town need her, Rarity always pulls through.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/LUQad.png[/img_thumb]
[b]Fluttershy:[/b] Fluttershy is a pegasus pony who is quite literally scared of her own shadow. She’s timid, quiet, and, well, shy, which makes her ideal for her job

of working with animals, but despite her own fears she’s always willing to help out, providing that little bit of kindness wherever it’s needed.

Together they get into hi-jinx, laugh, cry, squabble, and save the world once or twice. Just like any other group of friends, huh?

[h2]Minor Characters[/h2]
[b]Princess Celestia[/b], The ruler of Equestria and the elder sister of Princess Luna. She created Equestria with her sister and controls the sun. She is a pegasus

unicorn with a very pale lavender body and multi-colored mane and tail. She wears a gold tiara, collar and horse shoes. 1000 years ago, she sealed Nightmare Moon in

the moon with The Elements of Harmony. She is Twilight Sparkle's teacher and gave her the task to "make friends" in Ponyville upon learning of Nightmare Moon's return.

[b]Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon[/b] is the younger sister of Celestia who helped her in creating the world of Equestria, a pegasus unicorn pony with a indigo body and

a teal mane and tail. Due to the different interaction between night and day by the ponies of Equestria, her growing jealousy transformed her into a shadowy figure

named Nightmare Moon. In her new form, her body is black in blue armor with her mane and tail appearing to be made entirely out of sparkly indigo, purple-rimmed

moondust that she can use as limbs.

[b]Applebloom[/b] is Applejack's younger sister, Apple Bloom is a yellow baby pony with light red hair and a large pink bow yet has no cutie mark as she is still a

baby pony and has yet to find her place in life.

[b]Scootaloo[/b] is one of Apple Bloom's friends, Scootaloo is an orange baby Pegasus pony with a pink mane and tail. Like Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, she doesn't

have a cutie mark either and is a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

[b]Sweetie Bell[/b] is Rarity's younger sister, Sweetie Belle is a white baby unicorn pony with a pink and purple mane and tail. Like Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, she

doesn't have a cutie mark either and is a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

[b]Big Macintosh[/b] is the older brother of Applejack, Big Macintosh is red with an orange mane and a green apple cut in half as his "cutie mark".

[b]"Derpy"[/b] is a background character on each episode with no influence on the story. All she really does is stand there with a derp smile and derp eyes, and look

cute. Perfect detail for a perfect show!

[h2]Airing Time & YouTube Channels[/h2]
The show airs on Fridays at 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM on the Hub, which is a basic satellite/digital cable channel which replaced Discovery Kids (channel listing finder

If you do not have this channel, you're still in luck - because [i]the creator of the show has showed support for the episodes to be posted on YouTube[/i] by linking
