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. |

Did you read the lastest Jayson Thiessen interview, or his latest public statement from earlier today? Lauren Faust was obsessing with Star Trek: TNG around the time she got involved in the writing process for the episode, intentionally made Discord a Q knockoff, and then came up with the idea to actually grab de Lanci for the role. Even his teleport/magic sound effect is a copy.

In other news, just read through the EqD post about BroNYcon. Apparently a custom pony of Rainbow Dash dressed as a Wonderbolt went for $600 at auction. Kind of seems dumb to me, actually... as far as I could tell it didn't go much beyond a paint job, and it wasn't for charity. Wonderbolt Dashes of similar quality have been on eBay more than once before for nowhere near that amount (under $200 I think).

My other desktop is a SC2 themed one, but it might end up being a pony one too if I find one fittingly epic.

So awesome! /)^ɛ^(\
Funny how everything I like is getting ponified. Today I saw a random power armored Luna picture in the Space Marine thread and spent a good ten seconds wondering if I went insane.
But the Applejack doll action figure in my desk told me I'm just fine.

I think this show is popular becuase 2005 until they started blocking copyrighted content was when we were all 14 and watching anime on youtube/ torrent dl/ irc dl. Now were all at school and have no shame at all.

I've decided that I will never be able to chose a favorite pony. I'd just feel too guilty for not choosing the others. I LOVE EVERYPONY! I can't wait to see some more episodes... really I just CAN'T wait. I'm going to explooooode.

Oh man, I really hope they get to do a movie sometime. There is just so much plot that's itching to happen... really good fodder for fan works, though. Gotta love that.

I could easily see them making a 90 minute movie. I really wish they would. Come up with a sick good villain and presto! I don't see why Hasbro wouldn't consider a movie in the summer of 2012 or 2013 when you take the massive, rabid fanbase into account if it keeps picking up steam like it has been during the offseason.
Actually, one episode I'd LOVE to see down the road is a Batman TAS-esque episode that centers completely around the villains (you know, the one that has a bunch of the villains playing poker and recounting stories of how they almost got Batman). I could see it happening once they add enough major villains that might come back (like Discord; it'd be easy to have him come back in the canon) as well as the "weekly" antagonists such as Trixie.
They'd easily be able to work in morals and dawww inducing changes of heart in the non-evil characters (such as Trixie). I dunno, it seems like a cool idea...

I'm really stretching my brain to make that one work, really stretching it XD. I'm just thinking of fans rioting over not seeing their favorite of the mane 6...
Still, a fun idea. I love Discord as a villain, and if we had a three or four more like him, possibly. But, as for the movie, the production studio is already swamped cranking it out. Despite my hope, I don't know how they'd do it. I know with Anime movies they're farming out different episodes to different animation studios all the time, and simply hire a higher quality studio for the movie or something like that. But that's all the common used hand animation or 2d/3d mix stuff, FiM has a sort of unique production pipeline that doesn't lend itself to farming out.

Well Foxy, I just think it'd be a crazy change of pace. If done correctly it could be a very cool and unique episode for the series to have. It'd have to be in season 3 or 4 or something like that, though. I can imagine it now: Discord is lamenting about how he almost had Equestria within his grasp, only to be stopped by the mane 6, then Gilda scoffs at him and says that she'd have watched them like a hawk to make sure that didn't happen, etc. The possibilities are really endless. Again, it would have to be executed perfectly, but with a team like that, I have faith.
Another cool episode idea would be ones similar to Party of One except for the other characters. "So-and-so's past" episodes are really fun and provides you with more insight into the characters, allowing you to greatly increase your empathy with said characters. This strikes me as a very good idea considering empathy is one of the most powerful tools at the show's disposal.
You do raise an extremely good point about the whole movie thing, though. Studio B already works itself to the bone and is (or at least was) cranking out content about twice as quickly as you normally would, so time constraints could be quite major. It'd be nice if they had a fullblown movie as a side project, though, that they could slowly build upon while doing their usual work on the rest of the episodes. I'm sure fans wouldn't mind having a few slight delays in episodes to make up for this.

MLP movie... hmmmm...
DISCORD: We all act according to our nature. I am sure it is of no surprise that I... act on behalf of chaos. I strive to bring discord and disorder to Equestria because, why, it's just so much fun! I couldn't imagine ever wanting anything different. Just as Celestia will never stop wanting... well, you wouldn't want me to spoil that little mystery just yet, now would you?
DISCORD: Understand this. We all act according to our nature. Celestia has it in her to be merciful. She encases me in stone because she feels she must, in order to protect that precious order of hers... but she can't stand the thought of eternally imprisoning another pony, even one such as I! So lucky, lucky me, she doesn't take the measures she needs to. She leaves my petrified body out where chaos can break me free once again... because she hopes that after a thousand years of meditation, I will have become a better pony.
DISCORD: By all means, Celestia, keep thinking that. Keep thinking that the elements of harmony will save you! Oh, friendship is magic? Well I have my own friends...
...Discord's friends being dark shadows looming in the background. And then the movie could be about how Discord's friends aren't real friends, they're actually just cronies, and to be real friends you have to have loyalty and laughter and all that, and be willing to make sacrifices, and yadda yadda.

I just read http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/jayson-thiessens-message-to-bronies.html and it leaves me a bit surprised.
People must be giving him credit for things he has not done or something? from everything ive seen there has always been a huge well of respect and nerding out for Lauren Faust any time she ever set hoof anywhere near Equestria daily or anything like that there is some huge explosion of fan reaction,
I think Jayson Thiessen deserves alot of the praise he is getting and maybe its because he is so often involved in the community lately but regardless of how much he defers the praise to Lauren Faust I think anybody with common sense can see that although he did not come up with the My little Pony reboot and season 1+2 all by himself (did anyone really think he did? c'mon? >.>) but the job he did in season 1 and 2 production making Laurens vision real, and now his new role in season 3 are demanding enough that we should lavish praise on the guy! :p
I can't speak for people but I feel that the community at large is well aware of what Jayson Thiessen's contributions to the show and Lauren Faust's contributions were, and what Jaysons role will be in the future.
Either some people are making fools of themselves praising him as the Lord and savior of all things Pony, or the guy is too humble for his own good. :p
Credit where credit is due I say, much love to Lauren Faust for creating what we know as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and good work and good luck to Jayson Thiessen taking the reins as it were for season 3.
