@Ginger: Too wordy, the art is aggressively lazy, and the humor is weak. It relies to much on breaking the fourth wall and basic tabletop gaming references that are a lot funnier if you just actually play instead of reading about it.

Pagetopper.

Auughh, seriously, I just don't get some people. I mean, it's perfectly reasonable to get upset over this for the most part, but to RAAAAGGGGEE like no tomorrow? Hasbro won't listen to whiners!

latest is an press release from hasbro claiming it was an audio alteration to a single episode only.

ok looking more I can MAYBE see what they are talking about if they thought the scene showed RD being mean to a disabled person trying to help out, which ok don't chare that opinion, but I could by that, and really I never expected "derpy" to EVER be said out loud, "Ditzy" sure, but not Derpy.

I actually quite enjoy the strip; the art has its own charm (compare XKCD), and I find the jokes funny. The only downside is the update schedule.

Anyway, so - bets on Iron Will and "Putting Your Hoof Down"? Think Iron will be male or female, related to Fluttershy or not, etc.? Where will the episode be set? Might we see Cloudsdale some more? That sort of thing.

@blue You pretty much summed up my problems with webcomics in general. They're just too... self-aware? I guess is the term. I mean, for some reason I'm fine when a film does it (sometimes), but for some reason it bugs me when it's done in webcomics. (ahem, Homestuck)

@ Blue, it stopped being about D&D jokes about mid way though the second book, still has a few few but they are few and far between, yes it's wordy but tha's a YMMV situation, and art isn't lazy, yes it's stick figures, but look how much expression he can get out of it, and he's shown that he CAN draw perfectly fine, he just choose this format for convenience, but he makes the most of it.

@Red I'm hoping for a guy, and even though it won't happen, I kinda want it to be RD's dad [lol]

I'm expecting Iron Will to be a man, but they could surprise us. As for the setting, I doubt it'll be Cloudsdale based on 'Shy's dislike of flying, though it would be nice if we saw more of that fair city.

@Ginger: There are some good ones that aren't self-aware at all. The Meek and Kiwi Blitz are pretty good.

[up]I hope so, we could use some more male characters.

@Seraphem: I acknowledge everything you say, but it's a matter of opinion on all of it. I don't want to argue.

8-Bit Theater is still the best web comic ever.

re: Iron Will Maybe he will be a life coach Fluttershy hires to make herself more assertive?

The Meek is indeed Awesome and Kiwi Blitz is cute and pretty fun. I still can't find myself recommending Digger enough though.

Anyways, I'm gonna take a shower, so I'll be right back

Isn't it a shame that I'm announcing a temporary departure now? This really is a glorified chatroom!

Is self-awareness something that happens in movies a lot? I don't see many, but I've never seen that as something a lot of them do.

Just looking at the summary, is there anything saying Iron Will is a pegasus? I could see someone being called a guru as an Earth Pony.

@Red Yeah, the lyrics never call Cludsdale a "fair" city. They call it a "floating" city [lol]
