No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is.

Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers.

I'd be interested to see the psychological analysis of the grown men who are 'into' MLP. I'm not trolling or being mean, i am genuinely interested to know what a psychologist would make of this. I mean sure its heart warming and 'charming', but the novelty soon wears off when you realize the entire show is targeted at kids below the age of 10. What can you get out of this after the first 5 minutes?

I guess its just escapism, more than anything else. But there are healthier/more productive things to 'escape' into.... Like Starcraft 2.


For me at least, its the best form of escapism there is. Lots of people are surrounded by... well... negative things. Like cynicism, anger, rudeness, assholeness etc. Ponies are just innocent and positive, and not ridiculously annoying to watch like other shows that may be like that. Nothing fixes my attitude or outlook like watching an episode, and on top of that it helps me remember to be a better person and love and tolerate people .

I think the only thing a study would reveal is that people that would consider themselves a Brony are probably more open minded then not in general, and, being that its kind of an internet thing too, probably a little introverted.

Also more pointless speculation
+ Show Spoiler +
I watched the new episode again and everything seems to hint that Celestia and Luna turned the other ponies wielding the Elements of Harmony to stone (and they can be seen in the garden, I felt like the camera lingers a little too long in that one position when the 4 distinct pony statues are visible).

This would explain why they're "no longer connected to the elements" as Celestia says, and while Discord's jabs at the princess ("I don't turn ponies into stone") don't necessarily mean she turns PONIES into stone, it does fall into the whole thing pretty nicely. Admittedly the whole idea is fueled by the fanon that Celestia is nothing but a tyrant, and honestly is probably a wee bit complicated a plot for this sort of show but hey it's a fun thought to hang on to until next Saturday.

Oh and I'm sure someone thought of this already before me but oh well...



+ Show Spoiler +
If it was Celestia, Luna, and 4 other ponies that used the elements to defeat Discord, then I don't think she turned them to stone. Ponies are mortal and will die of old age, where it seems that the only way an Alicorn dies is if it is slain. I'm assuming that the whole "turn ponies to stone" line is just Discord referring to the fact that she turned him to stone and nothing else. I think that all Discord "turns ponies into" is basically whatever type of chaotic evil suits him (like he did in episode 1), but that's just me.


+ Show Spoiler [stone] +

Discord's petrification either
(a) leaves his mind intact, which means he has to suffer the boredom of an inactive 1000 years
or
(b) he's unconscious, basically dead really, until the petrification is reverted
or I suppose
(c) he's dreaming

Option (a) is just plain torture. I'm going to assume that option (a) is not what occurred.

So, from Discord's point of view, even holding with options (b) or (c), turning somebody to stone is infinitely worse than anything Discord does. He might turn some people evil, he might mess with people, he might make their lives full of hurt as a side effect to his chaotic antics... but at least they're alive and (arguably) free to live (do the vilified ponies still have free will? That remains to see in episode 2, I guess).

For a guy who's spent the last 1000 years petrified, Discord is actually remarkably composed. Even if he was unconscious during most of that time (making it feel like no time has passed at all), I know I'd be irked at having missed a 1000 years of history and bloody potential life! Maybe the joy of being freed is balancing out his hate for Celestia; maybe him being a longer-lived creature anyway is mitigating the irk.

And yeah, irk can actually be used as a noun like that. Cool.


+ Show Spoiler [earth ponies] +

Why would they be stronger than unicorns or pegasi? Yeah it sucks that they don't have wings or horns, but hey, that's life. Also I don't think pegasi are any lighter than regular ponies; until somebody comes along with a more interesting theory, I just hold that their flight comes from magic, a different type of magic than the horns because they come from the wings.


Earth Ponies would be stronger through nature itself. Since they have no magic to levitate objects, nor wings to aid them when traveling, it would just be natural that they have a stronger body structure. Take Rainbow Dash vs Applejack: RD is an athlete that trains every day dreaming with the Wonderbolts, so she also has a body as strong as the body of an Earthling, even beating AJ on an armwrestling fight. Applejack however proved to have a much stronger back-body structure with her bucking abilities(bucking half a farm of trees should be a good training, right?).

Also, according to LF, in a world where flying and magic are about as common as earth abilities(animal caretaking, understanding of flora, food culture etc), Earth Ponies are specialist on Earth itself. Heck, the Pie family is made of geoculturists, after all.

Also, Fluttershy is more of an Earthling than a Pegasus, and IIRC that was the original idea for her.

“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king”, just sayin'.

Assume that you don't have arms, so you do everything with your legs and mouth, even drive a car. People with hands are not able to drive their car with legs, but you can, because it's the only way you could do this.

And commonness of the magic and flying ability have nothing to do here. In our world replace magic with technology, and flying skills with... flying skills (let's just skip that). Some people don't have the Internet, cellphones, TV etc. Yeah, they surely would want something like this, but can live with it what they have and they become... farmers. Of course not only farmers, but resemblance to Applejack is clear.
Also in MLP this is kind of similar to race issue. Black people jump higher and Asian are good at math (sorry for generalizations), but white people are OK with that. In MLP differences between unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies are bigger, but it seems that through years they formed big empathy and tolerance.
Besides, the show in this shape is better for young audience.

Hm, it did seem fishy to me that they brought the air dates so ahead from the originally announced December, and back then I thought they should rather not rush things not to make half-assed episodes, and instead they should take their time and leave some gaps between airing episodes if necessary. Now here I am, with what I had thought becoming real, and yet I'm still extremely dissatisfied. =/

Also lol John de Lancie is now getting spammed on twitter; his reaction: "Roddenberry warned me that I had no idea what I was getting into with Star Trek. Someone should have warned me about My Little Pony! Egads!". I think they should bring more famous actors / voice actors into the show as it'd cause a lot more new bronies to enter the fandom. I think Christopher Walken would probably do it, and maybe Samuel L. Jackson as well... because why not? He's in everything these days...

Also I think Hasbro might've realised they'll make more money off of selling pony merch to bronies rather than to little girls' parents. JT in the interview said Hasbro would be silly not to eventually start making merch targeted at bronies (once they realise what the numbers are), and I can relate to Tek's sentiments about that:
JT: I think they just need to know what the numbers are.
Tek: Ok, so, right, just numbers. Well, yeah, I’d definitely be all over that, I mean, all my money. Right there.


Also, apparently Day[9] did a Q&A on facebook after his last daily but I missed it! However, he's doing one today as well! So bronies, if you want to ask him about whether he has seen the show before or not, then post on https://www.facebook.com/day9tv after his next daily.

Perhaps even post it as "Hey Sean, have you seen this show before: <link to this thread>?" or something, without mentioning the title of the show in your post heh, so he actually clicks on the link. If he reads the OP, that might get him to give the show a try, regardless of how busy he is these days, especially if it was mentioned that it's an extremely calming show.

It might not get answered mainly because there were apparently so many questions yesterday as well, but the more people ask him about it, the more likely that he'll at least see it once, even if he won't reply to it. Needless to say, just don't spam him about it of course.

One of my personal pet peeves is when people call young horses ponies, when that's not what defines a pony at all. Inform yourselves!

Asking Day[9] would be an awesome idea. It's too bad that I can't do it myself. (Stupid timezones) I hope that somepony would be able to ask him.

Day9 would probably love this, lol. Last time I checked, DigiWombat was a brony and was attempting to turn axeltoss. This could be enough to get day9 to try the show. And then there will be no escaping...

Huh, in a sense, the only real "Horse" in the show is Celestia, considering her body structure and all.

All the others are "ponies", even the old ones like Granny Smith.

Now, random fanfic time
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-on-cross-and-arrow.html

On a Cross and Arrow WARNING: Includes Shipping(Aka. pony love, nothing explicit)

Basically, Twilight messes a spell(oh, how original ) and brings everypony to an alternate dimension where everypony is genderswapped. That includes the mane 6, and the original 6(the females) will have to find a way to get out of the "not-their-world" causing as little trouble as possible... or that's what they hope for.

While the writing is quite bad when comparing it to other stuff out there, the story is really funny and heartwarming(and CUUUUUTE~~♥), and I really loved it. You are surely to laugh at the most awkward situations you could imagine!
Oh yeah, also the "shipping" part is always M/F, so I don't really find it bad as much as I hate other shipping in general. And I have to say, it was hilarious.

So yeah, if you have spare time and nothing to do, open your mind and take a shot at it

So, I was visiting TL.net and my friend sees the Discord video above.

Then she proceeds to ask "But, who is this guy anyways?" as she doesn't watch it.
"Oh, he is the biggest troll of all time."
"Wait, didn't you say that Princess Celestia was the biggest troll?"
"Yeah, this guy out-trolled her."
Then I proceed to see her mouth open in awe: "What?! Is that even possible?!"

"You really gotta watch it, you are missing so much..."
