Morning Discussion #571

Good morning everyone! It's finally the day of a new episode after our short hiatus. Are you excited? Because I'm excited! I figured a Daring Do header would be most appropriate today.

As a side note, please keep all random chatting not related to the new episode to this post and out of the Episode Discussion post. That's why it's here after-all. But you can discuss episode-related topics here as well if you'd like.

Now, let's get to chatting!

Season 6 Part 2 Coundtown - Tomorrow IT BEGINS! What Character Do You Want to See Get the Most Air Time?

IT IS TIME. That was a surprisingly less awful hiatus than I originally expected. We have episodes starting tomorrow morning and I'M HYPE. We've had some awesome teasers appear for this one, covering a good amount of the upcoming storylines we can expect. It's going to be an interesting end of Summer and Fall!

This marks our final discussion of the countdown. A lot of characters have been introduced, and many are just as popular as the mane 6 at this point. Who do you want to see get the most spotlight this next 13 episodes?

Discuss below!

Comic: Pinkie Pie Says Goodnight

It's been over two years since Pinkie Pie wished us all goodnight before a new episode. Might be fun to restore that tradition before season 6 revs back up.

Click for some good night wishes!

Poll Results: What Are You Looking forward to Most in the SDCC News Flood This Weekend?

I think our SDCC poll has been up a bit too long. We did get a bit of movie news here, so I guess you can all be appeased there?!

We need poll ideas. Give us some in the comments! Remember, a good poll is one with a few multiple choices. We can't poll something that would have a million choices.

Anyway, new poll:

What season 6 part 2 new things are you looking forward to most?

What kind of music do you think Fluttershy listens to? I bet it's hardcore gangster rap. She looks like the type.

With so much power I bet Twilight could do something like this. You don't mess with a pony with as much talent as Book Horse!

Comic time guys! Get the rest after the break.

Guardians of Harmony Hits Walmart!

So much for that Amazon exclusive until September. Maybe it's primarily for the other figures in the lineup that aren't appearing anywhere yet? Nightmare Moon and Celestia have been spotted at Walmart. This marks the first major retailer outside of small nerd-culture sections at Barnes and Noble and Gamestop.

Amazon still seems to be the only place for the rest of the set outside of the three we are seeing everywhere. You can still get all the figures over here with a release of September.

Thanks to Xander for the image!

Editorial: HORSE FAME And Why You Shouldn't Be Blinded By It!

If you are buried deep into the brony fandom like a good amount of us here on EQD are, you have probably run into a boatload of drama broiling about content creators taking advantage of their volunteers. I'm not going to name any names or point out any specific projects yet, as information is fluctuating and filled with misunderstandings and general rumor mongering, but I do think the subject overall needs to be addressed. And why not have fun with it while we do?

Since the dawn of the fandom way back in 2010, people have done their absolute best to make a name for themselves in pony. Whether they draw horses, run radios, write fanfics, or organize mini communities, it's only natural for someone to want to be acknowledged for what they accomplish. This has lead to the wonderful joke that is "Horse Fame", the ultimate goal for everyone in pony!

...Or is it? What can "Horse Fame" bring? Are there negatives? Time to EDITORIALIZE.

SDCC Exclusive Discord Hitting the Hasbro Toy Shop Website on August 9th

With SDCC long gone, and the figures not releasing during the event like they usually do, a lot of people were wondering if they would still be able to get their hands on the convention exclusive Guardians of Harmony Discord and Fluttershy figure. It turns out they actually have a set release date on the duo - August 9th.

They will be first come, first serve with 0 pre-orders available. Be sure to set an alarm for the morning of, as they will most likely go pretty fast if the GoH Lineup so far is any indication.

You can check out our review on them over here if you are curious!

Thanks to Bradley for the heads up.

Interesting Take on Lullaby for a Princess - Choir Style!

Here's something completely different coming out of the pony music world. I don't think we have ever had a choir style before. With a bit of tightening up on the vocals, I can see a lot of pony songs rockin this style of remix for something unique.

Anyway, go check out something different below!

Morning Discussion #570

I saw this in my Deviant Art list today and had to wonder why I hadn't seen something like this before with Crackle! I can only hope that Crackle's chain makes a nice country fried steak.

Morning guys! Sleep well?
