I really can't wrap my head around that concept, for some reason, but I resign myself to the realization that it's probably the most reasonable explanation there is currently.

(Which, by the way, is the kind of thing Twilight should have learned in the episode in question.)

well yeah, but clouds and weather are already in the sky. And walking on clouds is a totally acceptable break. But this is, by all appearances, a bog standard a cart! The unicorns at least have a sort of energy field thing going when they use telekinesis!

It was a chariot that had some wing themed decoration going. It was a lot more believable than the wooden cart take straight from Applejacks farm!

I don't like the concept personally, since it kinda undermines the greater strength of the Earth Ponies

Hey look, someone actually made that cake from the end of Party of One.

It's not like they can pull a whole house though

Lovecraftian quotes are best quotes :D

@Ginger It depends on the purpose of the product. Those dresses were for the Gala, not for entertainment. I don't care for how a tuxedo looks, but it's considered improper to wear a wacky variant to a formal occasion just because I think it looks cool. The same deal applies to the dresses. They're formal-wear, which none of the other five knew anything about.

Movies, on the other hand, are meant to entertain. The screenings are to ensure that they can even do that before they release them.

@Ginger: I'm sorry, what?

I mean, never mind the fact that's it's always earth pony superiority with you (just kidding, you know we love you). But how does that cast earth ponies as inferior?

I really wish Twi had (good-naturedly) continued her testing at the end of FPK

Pinkie would have driven Glad OS nuts.

@Kyler because it means that Pegasi can negate weight, making superior strength meaningless

They can't negate mass though. They can only pull things through the sky that they would be able to pull on the ground.

@Lurker I still don't think that asking for their input was bad, she just shouldn't have taken it as far as she did.

@Ginger: Or it could mean that the animator's were lazy/did not think making it look aerodynamic was important.

Oh, it's not the asking that was bad. It was doing things she knew were wrong to the dresses afterwards.

Accepting criticism from people who know nothing about the topic is the problem. None of them, except for maybe Fluttershy know anything about fashion, style, or anything of the sort and were designing based entirely on preferences. She should have listened to their opinions, but not bend to their will entirely over the design. Input should have gone both ways.

I think what Blissey mentioned is why I never got the controversy thing most people got upset over the episode about. Twilight was just as wrong about it. She believed it wasn't true at all from the start, despite the proof that there might be something to the Pinkie Sense.

I don't know if any of this is relevant, but I'm in the mood for ranting in walls today.

How does it mean they can negate weight? It's not like Fluttershy couldn't pull it if it were on the ground.
Lurker, stop ninja-ing me.

Prettymuch what Lurker said

A pegasus pony can only pull as much as their personal magic would allow... wingpower=str I would imagine. The more wingpower you got the heavier cart you can pull through the air?

@Lurker that's what I mean. It was just you gave the general vibe that you didn't think rarity should've strayed from her vision at all, and that her friend's input didn't mean shit.

This PMV is pretty good. I think it's my second favorite of all of them. (The MY Eyes one is still better of course).

@Ginger Then it was a misunderstanding.

I do love carrying on two conversations simultaneously.

@swa I just wish Twi could've stuck with the experimentation, only with a better perspective on it in the end

The problem with FPK is just that the moral was worded poorly.

An Challenger Appears.

Thats kind of the point of being a fashion designer. You can look at someone and make them the perfect outfit because you have an eye for color, drape of fabric, how its going to look based on that person's body shape and skin tone...

Sure they could ask for subtle alterations but in general the fashion designer is going to know whats best. If someone who was good at that would design an outfit for me I wouldnt fuss over it at all I'd be greatful that they were takin the time to make me something that would be perfect for me.

That movers' truck later in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" was apparently being kept aloft by only two Pegasi, neither of whom appeared to be straining themselves.

@Turtle I guess I just don't like that kind of high and mighty seeming attitude
