The whole Shout Outs galore the comics have had are a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, its funny to see all the little nods to nerdy movies, tv shows, etc. On the other hand, it could be argued its a sign of a lack of originality.

The second Story Arc will have a different artist & writer, so it'll be interesting to see what the differences will be.

The story is still good, from the looks of it, so these are just bonuses.

There is a very fine line when doing shout outs, and from the first two issues I don't think the comics have crossed it. Heck, the show managed a Big Lebowski reference, so the comic having a page of horror movie references isn't that out there.

[up]Actually, you've got it backwards.

This is a cartoon that referenced Trainspotting. Like, the movie about heroin addicts. And started off the comic's changeling arc with a pony Donald Sutherland from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I'm not remotely surprised to see them giving one-off jabs to random horror movies.

Yeah, I'm still planning on getting it*, but that page is still going to bother me. I'm going to assume it's probably the changelings messing with them.
And it isn't the shoutouts specifically that I have a problem with, it's the sheer number of them at the same time.

[up][up]I'm still not sure whether that face is horrifying or just really funny.

[up]Fair enough. If they start hurting the story, then I'll take real issue with them as well.

Yeah, given how solid the comic has been outside of the shout outs, I'm not at all worried about the quality of the issue. I'm curious if the next issues will keep it up, though.

Just the feel of it, I really can't explain the particulars, it wasn't any acts, as much as just the overall way they felt just felt, wrong. None of the ponies felt of sounded like themselves. I wish I could explain it better but, like I said it simply did not feel like the Mane 6, it felt like caricatures of them.

Imagine if you will, a realm of mystery. Perhaps there's some sort of alicorn, or maybe the alicorn was you, we're not certain. But what is certain is that you're about to enter... The Scary Door.

How about that Sweetie Belle?
She’s    adorable    when she isn’t with her rock band.

Turns out behind the door is just a wheel of Limburger cheese.

I mean I couldn't really blame her.
