Post of the Day #150

^^It does have a few, in pacing and occasionally in characterizing Dash, but otherwise, it's absolutely lovely. The exchange over whether or not Dash gets to have beer in the steadholdt in Gildedale is one of my favorite miniscenes in fic history. =D

Besides, his package of controversy would never reach Celestia, my gateway firewall would have prevented it from reaching its destination!

That sounds like a challenge.

Also, welcome to the thread Seandmon! Even though you don't seem to be here at the moment.

@Yeller: Let's just say package spoofing has been tried before, and someone ended up coming out of the other side as a kind of meat-and-blood gravy because the hash checker corruption meant it couldn't preserve their structural integrity. Security that's built into the safety measures is infinitely more effective because failures don't survive.

Good morning. It seems that I have a ton of thing to talk.

Welcome, Sean. We can be zany, but I assure you that most of us are very well-intentioned. I hope you find your time in this thread enjoyable. Since you are a fanfic writer, I believe that you might find this thread interesting.

Oh right, so did someone say controversy? Oh righty, I will throw heaps of them. But before, I will respond to some of your post:


Mental image: A zombie wearing a "we are the 99%" shirt.

@marston

- I like CMC. Adorable things. But yeah, I don't have any good reason to like them and why they deserve spotlight.

- Shining Armor, Cadance, and you know what, the whole damn episode sounds like a bad, corny fanfiction minus a mary sue. Only this time, however, it is not only a canon, but also a finale for season 2. What the hell.

- I love shipping too. I am a big Rainbowshy shipper. Of course, I wouldn't complain even if my hopes are dashed by the canon. In fact, I think I actually appreciate Faust's No Hugging, No Kissing approach.

- Ah, that fic. Not my preference. It does sound pretty good, though.

- That episode is my favorite episode of season 2, actually, but yeah, there are reasons to hate it.

- Discord. Yeah, in my opinion, he is an entertaining, but not an effective villain.

- Doctor Hooves in fanon is built with nothing but Doctor Who. It gets really annoying.

- And I vote for Spike Spiegel pony.

- *throws brick at marston* I hate that episode. I hate how it wasted not only one, but three massive plot elements, on which a whole animated series can be built on, just for the sake of cheap humor and aesop.

- I am completely apathetic towards Braeburn.


Now coming up with my own controversy/complaints, hang on...

I finally found a Poni/Ratchet crossover. And it is good.

@Yeller: They tried to hack the gateway to give them access to a restricted area. They got in all right, as gravy.

Now have some Halo.

Big Chief.

Now that is how a captain should dress. I like how it matches the color.

And Cortana is...(may be NSFW)

Ah, missed controversial opinions last night. Not much I would say since everyone's pretty much got me covered. But I will respond to this. . .

I actually don't hate The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well. All it's missing is ONE CONVERSATION to make it a good episode.

Applejack: Aren't you taking this whole 'hero' thing a bit too far, sugarcube? Rainbow Dash: [insert BS refutation and accusation of jealousy of skills here]

THAT'S ALL IT EVER NEEDED!

I would say that that is far from all that episode needed. It was a heavily flawed premise to begin with, and even the best of executions would still leave a lot to be desired.

MMDW doesn't seem that flawed to me.

Speaking of the change to that episode, am I the only person who wanted to keep Derpy wall-eyed but have the new voice? The old voice just sounded...odd.
This guy did precisely that.

My Little Dashie is overrated and honestly kinda creepy if you think too much about it. Read Pannic's review of it if you want to know what I mean.
You ever read My Little Stashie? It was such a great parody that the author of MLD called it the best thing ever.

@storyyeller: The premise is flawed in the sense that it assumes that the Mane Six's plan would actually work. Instead, even the episode seems to demonstrate that the plan not only did not work but it can be argued that it made the situation worse. Neither the characters, nor the episode in general seems to acknowledge this, and instead assumes that it "all went to plan", which brings up a lot of less then fortunate implications about the rest of the Mane Six's actions.

Overall all though this was probably just a case where the creative team thought "Superhero parody! Kids and Adults love this stuff. What could possibly go worng?" and didn't think through what had been written.
