The end is not considered Canon actually, not even by the creator. He was fired from his own project (or something like that)

Pagetopper: Pretty~~

@Ginger

The last season doesn't actually count. Disney fired the series creator and show runner and hired a bunch of idiots.

Eventually the creator bought back the rights and started a comic book series continuing the show that completely ignored the third season as well, except for two episodes.

@ginger: Well, the protagonist(Blueblood) does discover his intentions, but that's not the original reason for him going back. See, he was a bit attached to that particular slave - he was trying to rehabilitate her, trying to set her free. He didn't really care for the idea of her being in somepony else's hands. So he treks back across a desert to get her back. It's along the way he realizes what's going on - he has the benefit of context, you see. The ponies in the country he's visiting don't really pay attention to much outside the borders, while he's a diplomat to the country they're allegedly waging war with. He's aware of the tripe the propaganda is. Instead of arguing counter to it, though, he appeals to better natures, convinces, persuades, and even logics a bit - mostly that the country is both very tiny and very much nestled between both the country it will be going to war with, and the countries largest ally. In the end the villain is actually defeated a bit by his own secrecy - had the countryfolk been aware of this secret weapon, which is both plentiful and only useable by EP's(All of the ponies in the country are EP's), they might have been more willing to fight. In the end he basically amasses an army and leads them against the chancellor's own army, as by this point the chancellor basically in control of the military. The final confrontation actually has almost no violence, since neither Blueblood nor the chancellor are violent ponies. They just look outside, have a small ethical debate, and the chancellor realizes he's lost. Blueblood's side is better, so the chancellor calls off his army and the war. The country never knows about all the plans, the country 'suffers' a revolution, and things become peaceful.

@Ils: Ah, well... thank you. I don't have much to do but develop them, and it IS sort of my job to develop things in depth...

Wow, fired from your own project. How does that happen?

@Kyler

Despite being the creator, Toon Disney owned the rights. They treat Greg Weisman like a two dollar hooker despite being a brilliant animator and writer.

Wait, wait. Is this the same one that chewed him out on that one trip before White Brook bought him? The same one he lamented about when he pushed himself to injury?

@kegi sigh... I dunno. Maybe

Yeah, L Mage knows the story better. Listen to him ^^

@Kyler: Welcome to the wide and wonderful world of the entertainment industry! In order to get money to make a project, someone has to buy it. If they buy it, they have control. It happens in every industry - Brutal Legends got fucked by activision, for example, although they didn't technically have the authority to fire Schafer.

But basically, whoever's funding your project owns your soul.

Also yes, that is the very same slave!

@ginger: Eh. I'd honestly recommend The Colour You Bleed again anyways - I personally had a lot of fun writing the villains, and I think they're solid. Plus lots of character development...(not sure how much you like that, actually).

SO I decided to watch Best night ever in one sitting in honour of the royale wedding (And to compare and contrast)

Who wants to watch with me?

The "ending" to the Gargoyles series was totally non-canon. The REAL story continues on in the comic books if you can find them.

And that is why whenever I write I do it purely for fun.

@Steve: I would, but I have other crap at the moment.

@kegi Sorry, I always automatically feel bad whenever you go off on one like that... I'm just miserable. I'm sure it'd be great.

but I'd also need to read Colour first. and I am NOT looking forward to that

@steve I will 22 minutes before the finale.

Aw, why not?(Also the second story is an independent plot; all you'd be missing is a leap in Blueblood's character)

edited 18th Apr '12 8:10:10 PM by kegisak

@kegi The villains don't sound competent enough and I've always prefered character development to be a secondary focus for something, not it's primary reason for existing

but whatevs, you're the genius storyteller, I know I'm wrong

edited 18th Apr '12 8:13:14 PM by gingerninja666

@ Chadaman (post 161566): That kind of grows on you after a while.

Eh, the villains don't even interact with the main characters all that much - Iron Towers, the main villain, is near hyper-competant in his few appearances, taking down a pony reputed to be one of the most skilled mages on the continent. The only reason he loses to Blueblood is because he's batshit fucking insane, and basically runs into walls trying to kill him.

Buuuut it's pretty clear at this point that it's hard to convince you... maybe just read the first chapter, at least? you might see you like it more than you think, and if not it's fairly conclusive so you can pretend there's no more of it.

And seriously dude, please stop doing that. It genuinely makes me uncomfortable to be declared brilliant like that, especially if it makes other people sad/angry/whatever. I've been accused of arrogance one too many times, and I don't like it. I do what I do to make people happy.

At first I thought that was directed at me, leading to much confusion.

Yeah, but Blueblood is such a prick that character development for him should be primary. If you can actually feel bad for him, that's something.

@Syd yeah I saw Linkara posted a video with it, and I ended up laughing my butt off whenever I hear it.

I get scared a bit when you post something from out of the blue.

edited 18th Apr '12 8:16:41 PM by Chadaman99

@kegi Let's put it this way. I can enjoy something with no character development. I generally don't enjoy things that are NOTHING but character development.

Dun dun dun dun dun dundundundun...

Sir, I deeply regret to inform you that we can no longer be friends. I challenge you to a duel to be held in the park at three o'clock sharp.

Also, I'm pretty sure pride sometimes keeps me from liking things

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's people smugly going I TOLD YOU SO!!! When I say I enjoy something which I thought I wouldn't...
