Sad, but true mindset.

(I think the new G.I. Joe show is arc-based, all I know about it is that it is Animesque, sort of like MLPFIM)

Also I am watching the sleepover one. Love it.

If a 16-year-old androgyne/boy can do it, so can you.

How many episodes does this have?

#480 Saturn Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:34:05 PM from On The Rings

Chagen, shut up.

Ahr, yeah you're right. We'll have to wait to see what Season 2 brings to the table. Showrunners are usually give much more freedom by that point and it might Grow The Mane, so to speak.

#481 Anonymous User Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:34:08 PM from Colorado

At present, 16 have aired. The 17th is set to debut on Friday.

^I am also wondering what the second season will bring.

AU identifies as androgynous now?

I am puzzled as to why they had that two episode thing right off the bat. Maybe they wanted to do more of that but the execs said not as a first season?

Was it more of a 'the only way she would get friends is if something epic happened'?

Maybe they were afraid of tackling anything more dark or more complex and backed off?

Maybe it got lacklustre ratings?

Yeah, I can't wait to see the season finale for this season, and then what we get for season 2.

^Both I think.

Saturn: Uh...what? I wasn't attacking the show or its creators, I was attacking the execs who greenlighted it. Actually read my fucking post.

Executives aren't inherently evil. Also, trying to make money is not a horrible goal.

I did read your fucking post, and I think it's stupid. You jump to conclusions to quickly, it's 2011. Not all Executives are evil. Plus to be frank, I bear a little animosity to you actually commenting in this thread because I don't think you actually have anything good to contribute.

Really? Western Animation execs have been misogynistic since TV existed.

#490 Saturn Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:37:54 PM from On The Rings

And it didn't get bad ratings AHR. The first and second episode alone got great ratings with help from 4chan and youtube.

I SAID NOW. Why don't you fucking read my post, as you would say?

@Chagen: While I agree that tv is definitely behind on gender rights, I really don't think you can call this show misogynist. Heck, if anything, it's misandrist.

Plus, while a show or a company might be sexist, that does not mean the people themselves are sexist.

@Saturn: Oh, well that's good to know. I'd hate to see something like that bomb.

Saturn, you're not acting very Fluttershy right now. *serious face*

... My main problem with Chagen's post there is that I think he doesn't know what "episodic" means. I think the show as it is is episodic, meaning that its episodes are mostly self-contained as opposed to being part of an ongoing arc.

#493 Mr AHR Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:41:14 PM from ಠ_ಠ

Yes. They are VERY episodic.

#494 Kyler Thatch Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:41:29 PM from Gravity Falls

First episodes usually set up the setting using elaborate plot, regardless of whether the the series proper was meant to be episodic or otherwise.

At least, that's how I think it is.

I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart.

#496 Anonymous User Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:42:18 PM from Colorado

It's mostly self-contained as of now. I sort of like it that way.

Also The Hub's website shows Rainbow Dash as the picture for the show. I imagine the siterunners got a memo that she looked the most marketable or something.

^Yeah.

I'm gonna be watching a show about colorful ponies.

Cool.

#499 Saturn Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:43:08 PM from On The Rings

Sorry, Chagen makes me mad all the time.

-blushes-

But um...No, the show isn't misandrist either, at least from the creator's point of view. She said so on her DA when someone asked what she thinks of all the boys, old and young who watch her show.

#500 Mr AHR Wed, 23rd Feb '11 3:43:21 PM from ಠ_ಠ

It could be a multiple writer thing. Can't really start a plot thread if you have five different writers going at five different angles. Maybe that's why?
