Spoiler image for whoa this is a crazy one. Also that end implication. But really this ep was ten kinds of awesome for Flutterbat

Fluttershy is getting all the best transformations this season. I wonder if this is how Luna gets her bat pony guards.

That final shot though...

So it looks like Three’s a Crowd isn't Weird Al's episode though it appears he's confirmed to have one.

>January 25 – “Three’s a Crowd”: Twilight is looking forward to some quality bonding time with Princess Cadance. But when a sick friend shows up needing Twilight’s attention, it looks like her plans for a peaceful visit with her sister-in-law will have to be put on hold.

Am I imagine it, or Twi is a little taller this season?

>>221338
Yeah because alicorn.

Who would win in a fight, Vampireshy or Hulkshy?

>>221401
hard to say while Hulkshy was raging she still had some control while Vampshy was feral in that form. Part of me wants to go with Vamp since she could hit and run till Rager gave out.

Huh.
And posted a year ago.
Funny how things turns out.

Heh both of Flutters transformations predating the air.

>>221459
?

That ask was probably based on Luna's bat pony guards. We knew they existed, we just didn't know if they were their own race like the crystal ponies, or a magical enchantment of a normal pony or what.

>>221465
Eggsackly!
What if Fluttershy is becoming one?!
Or its just Discord trolling from offscreen.
Most not ship..!

Also I am having why too much fun with these little things.

>>221471
We get the standard Vamp stuff subtly introduced, shades and hats maybe a sensitivity or dislike for the daytime pending on how this is played. Be freaky if that is how this season goes each becoming some kinda pony elder creature. Applejack the Ent, Windego Dash, Pinky Pie heir to Discord/Chaos (Sheogorath), Crystal Entity Rarity. Transition into the next series were grown up Crusaders become the beginning of the next six maybe have them be multi species. The idea of Scoots being paired with a Gryphon I find adorable.

>>221472
Wait...
>the standard Vamp stuff
I call shenanigans!
Everyone knows that Vampire dont have reflexions!

>>221477
Well she was just a Vampire Fruitbat/ Pony hybrid then. May turn out different now.

>>221477
Vampires didn't have reflections because olden tyme mirrors used silver as its reflective surface. Modern day mirrors don't use silver so vampires reflect off of them just fine.

That's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it.

so what would repel a Flutterbat? Also will this season confront Dash's cider problem?

When will we have a plot important episode again? The past few episodes have been fine but I'm more interested in finding those keys.

Rarity Takes Manehattan was hilarious! Might be the funniest episode this season. I think Rainbow Dash had the best lines, like the comment about Applejack's honesty.

Haven't noticed any Derpy cameos this season yet... :/

Anyone else sort of annoyed when weird random stuff makes you laugh?

So much I want to talk about, but cant find that words...

I worry about that a little less since queen of muffins gets official products now, though during the song there looked to be a gray blonde Pegasus in the background.

Ok...

>>221540
"oh a game reviewer"

>>221540
Is "Grumpy Cat" some reference I'm not catching?

>>221541
Alternatively, "a youtube personality".

>>221544
For what people are speculating, that seems to be a brony: internet joke, pseudo-intellectual sweater and a fedora. Even when that hat looks more like a tyrolean hat.

>>221547
I think it was supposed to be a trilby, similar to a fedora. And that looks more like a leather jacket with an oversized popped collar.

Look out for the Mad Men reference and the background alicorn.

I hope she shows up again.

>>221552
Oh yeah, people keep calling trilbies as fedoras, but the main idea remains I guess: obnoxious douchebags. Which most of the bronies seem to be.

And that alicorn seems familiar.

>>221555
She was such a cutie pie.
I hope she ends later in ponivlle, as Rarity's assistant.

The character is just annoying. End of story. Nothing about him is entertaining or endearing.

>>221771
Why? It's not like it'll affect anything official.

>>221775
Its not that. Its just that objectively speaking as a fan work animation quality aside its seriously not good at the inherent level. The big flaws rely with the protagonist himself.

- Button's cry baby mama's boy whiny personality.
- His irritating voice.

These two things are horrible. It feels like I'm watching Planet Sheen that spun off Jimmy Neutron. Having a main character who better functions as a side character doesn't work at all if the personality and voices are bad which they are. There's nothing endearing about Buttons and he just comes off as annoying. Another example of an annoying protagonist is Chowder from Cartoon Network. Granted at least Buttons is easy on the eyes while Chowder is just some gluttonous fatass. But I digress.

I'm not going to be watching this drivel, I just hope people have better sense than allow themselves to be sheep herd by the visual eye candy.

>>221778
So just mute it then.
Duh.

>>221547

Haven't seen the episode, but apparently an animator said he's just supposed to be a grumpy pony in general, thus the grumpy cat Cutie Mark. The hat is because everybody was in old fashioned New York clothing.

>>221547
>>221781
Was this background pony who barely appeared for 5 seconds really a big deal? I must have missed all the drama.

>>221771
>>221778
It's petty to wish it'll fail because it doesn't match your tastes. Just ignore it like a mature adult.

>>221778
>"STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE"

Okie-doke, chief. You're the boss.

>>221778
>Button's cry baby mama's boy whiny personality.
>His irritating voice.

Some people find that combination funny. Like me, especially in that video you posted though probably because it was short.

Now, on a note about something that actually matters...

I think that's the first time a predator's killed a prey in the show.

Talk of season 5 incoming.

>>221797
"Six seasons and a movie" was a joke... but it's shaping up to be a real possibility.

>>221812
I see CN is still keeping up the tradition of knocking on "girl" stuff.

Huh, that would fix that episode.

>>221818
Some people just get to be silly when the show invalidates "fan canon". Its part of the hate that LoK is dealing with.

>>221815
Daring Do the author is real and Daring Do the fictional character isn't the same way Ian Fleming is a real person and James Bond isn't. I don't get how it's blowing people's minds that an author can use their real life experience to write fictionalized, exaggerated accounts.

"It was all a dream" is an even worse premise than the episode's actual premise.

>>221819
>>221820
Sorry Bunker. Deleted my >>221818 to add a bit more to my comment.

Good episode today. This season's doing better than I expected.

FINALLY a good Applejack/Apple family episode, along with the first good Applejack song. This season is becoming my favorite of the four; all of these new writers are hitting homeruns.

I do adore the expressions

How long is this season meant to last?

>>221828
full 26, we aren't even at the halfway point.

Wet Rarity best Rarity

My Little Pony Season 4: Birth…

Why does storyboard look better than the final product a lot of times? The expressions are so much better.

>>221872

hand drawn boards vs flash tooled final product.

>>221873
They can't make new expressions in Flash to match more closely to the storyboards?

>>221874
If its done in flash, chances are its on a retty tight deadline.
Its not very productive to animate every storyboard accurately.

>>221884
Also, from what I can tell from that video, there's also the factor that varying expressions too much would be considered 'off model'.

>>221872
Same as the difference between sketches and finished drawings, I guess. Also they'd have to create all keyframes matching the more loosely drawn faces etc, more work.

Why aren't you LOVING IT?

So my Hot Topic has got rid of 99% of its pony stuff. Whats left is in the clearance bin or on the top shelf behind other stuff (seriously, how do you expect your IDW comics to sell when there 7 feet up and behind all those power ranger funk figures). Is this a sign of things to come?

>>222109
Nah, maybe the store just suck at it.


Also, your average dota team post lost.

>>222109
Must be your store. The one in my town still have them front and center on the widow displays.

>Today's episode
Epic move, Hasbro. Or whoever it was.

That's our girl.

>>222196
spoilers.

>>222197
hardly.

Why is Bulk Biceps (ugh... what a name) so terrible at flying? He wasn't this terrible at the Wonderbolt Academy. Also, I liked his old voice better.

Wow, the Wonderbolts were conniving jerks.

The episodes was a bit too congratulatory for RD. Everyone was constantly complimenting her on how awesome she was... we get it, she's good at flying. Move on.

Yep... those items that flash rainbow colors are gonna be the 6 keys.

>>222200
Instead of Bulk they should have used Derpy as the terrible third wheel on the team. At least she's canonically a bad flier, unlike Bulk who got into the Wonderbolt Academy. As is, all they did was bring a background pony to the foreground and then did literally nothing with her. What a waste.

>>222201
maybe next we see her she'll be the official Mailmare.

>>222201
Background is perfect for her. As a big fan, I like it most having her being a Waldo in the background. After half a season of no Derpy, what we got was refreshing, though.
I liked how Bulk Biceps seems to have to give it all so he can fly, but I see your point.

>>222200
My big complaint today was how Spitfire turned into such a bitch. As for RD... I guess that's how it goes for a celebrity. Kinda surprised how the pony crowd seems to have gotten a better memory now.

New episode is terrible. Easily the worst so far. The wonder opts are suddenly assholes and there's only 3 when we've seen more than that in several episodes. Biceps can't fly despite flying fine in wonder lots academy. The hundreds of Pegasus from hurricane fluttershy are gone and we get a moral issue that's dash has solved like three times by now. I was half expecting the bolts to be shadow lots in disguise. Was this possibly an excuse just to get dash to stop idolizing them? At least Derpy is back.

Loved the Derpy/Rainbow Dash episode. Found Spitfire's attitude perfectly acceptable, since she did not grow up in Ponyville, learning about friendship from a purple pone.

Oh Twilight

A mediocre episode but it was good to see Derpy again.

I wish Twilight would have joined in the competition, it would have been a good time to finally bring up her wings.

Well you didn't have to scare us like that... b-baka...

As for that one surprise last episode...

This was neat as well.

I also spotted Flitter, and heard Cloudchaser was around, too. We get some background cameos from Lyra with Bonbon (or Lyra in Leaping Lyra mode) and I'm sold.

Would like to see Gilda or Trixie on the background sometime as well, but I can see how maybe they're saving them for possible future episodes, just in case, to avoid inconsistencies.

>>222222
those gryphons are pretty

>>222222
So with Gilda and Gustave that's five so far.

It would be nice to see them go on a trip to gryphon or zebra land or something.

>>222222
>those stretches

>>222109
Wait, wait, horse comics are sold at Hot Topic? I thought was just the fan merchandise.

>>222246
Some stock a few of the main series,

Well just sitting back to see how weird this gets.

>>222343
I want to hurt the person(s) responsible.

>>222344
I think this time its someone really wants Jem but the rights are such a boondoggle, this is what they have to do to get that fix. Hey its not like they don't have a solid songwriter to do this stuff.

>>222348
Nice, but I just couldn't keep focus anymore around 46%. Thanks for sharing though.

>>222347
The show is being tampered with in a bad way, and all you care about is songs?

>>222363
When Equestra Girls starts mucking about with show proper then I'll get into a snit, as long as it remains a side project that has no impact on the actual show itself, I've got nothing to really get upset about.

>>222363
>>222365
I guess I'm the only one who wants to see Sunset Shimmer in the show as a more magically competent rival for Twilight than Trixie.

That would be nice, pump it up since demon is a lot of a better foil now with Twilight new power level.
