WTVY 4 - Year in Review - The Pony Fanbase

WTVY 4 has posted yet another video detailing the pony phenomenon, complete with those badass 4de plushies for good measure. Head on over here to give it a watch!

Power Ponies Rating Includes FV (Fantasy Violence)

Way back during the old days of pony, we had a label on the series called "E/I" that forced it into a specific style.  This was dropped when season 2 rolled around, though no one was really sure what all couldn't be done with that tagline on it. Many believed Lesson Zero never would have been allowed had they kept it.

Fast forward to season four, and we are seeing the first episode this week with an "FV" (Fantasy violence) rating added (Rating under the video on that page).  This is pretty typical of action oriented saturday morning cartoons a lot of us grew up on.

While not huge news, it's interesting to see the show evolve so much over time. As someone who grew up loving super hero cartoons,  I'm actually really excited for Power Ponies.  That does bring about the debate I've been seeing floating around a lot lately though - Do you prefer the season one simple slice of life style, or the "new" pony with it's changeling invasions, Celestia / Luna magic battles, and general ramp up in the older-kid themes?

Hit those comments up with your thoughts! Thanks to Andrew for pointing out the rating. 

Update: It looks like a lot of videos are being flagged with that.  This might just be a hubworld bug!

You know who looks awesome in armor? Luna does.  Hoofboots, giant scythe thingy, flank guards, overly intricate gorget; shes perfect.

Anyway, get some art while I set up my new phone wallpaper.

Comics! I have no idea.  That Fluttershy one is a bit saucy, so avoid it if you are easily offended.

Animation: Twilight Gets Her License

I look completely different on my drivers license.  I guess that is a product of a 2050 expiration date though.  I'm going to be an old man by the time this thing needs to be replaced.

Twilight Sparkle doing that license thing can be found below the break.

Jeremy Whitley Interviewed about Upcoming Friends Forever Comic with Discord and the CMC

The writer behind the upcoming Discord/CMC Combo Comic int he new Friends Forever series was interviewed over at Unleash the Fanboy.  One of the more interesting little tidbits of information involves the king of chaous himself:

"JW: Oh, this one was all my idea. Discord had been off limits to the comic series for a while. As watchers of the show will know, his status has been somewhat in flux and the comic doesn’t want to step on the show’s toes, so he was kind of in a holding pattern. When I took the idea to Bobby, he warned me that Hasbro may or may not go for it, but as the story is very mindful of the recent developments in Discord’s character, we took a shot at it. To our surprise, Hasbro not only accepted it but didn’t even have any changes to request.

Discord is a big favorite of mine and while we’ve seen quite a bit of his interaction with the Mane 6, I wanted to pair him up with someone who is a force for chaos in their own way as well. And as I know first hand, children are little tiny gods of chaos."

 

 Head on over here to check out more of it!  Thanks to Masem for the heads up.
