The only problem I found was that the case for acquittal was a bit disappointing. Part of what made 12 angry men great was the intellectual aspect in which the authority of the evidence was brought into question through sharp scrutiny. This story seemed to take a by and simply say adequate evidence was not presented to even make a case. Still I loved the writing style, skillful integration of memes, the characters were great, and you did an outstanding job capturing the conflict and drama represented in the original story 5 out of 5Stiggandrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579595108815012090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-12614985809620477032011-11-13T15:05:57.502-07:002011-11-13T15:05:57.502-07:00Huh, I've never known anything about 12 angry ...Huh, I've never known anything about 12 angry men, so I'm glad to have read this.<br />All the complaints I've read in comments can be answered with creative license.Ergo Cogitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343483113675815392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-72915816921550566402011-11-12T19:23:45.599-07:002011-11-12T19:23:45.599-07:00I remember seeing this film in my speech class.

I've tried to avoid commenting he...Howdy, all! I've tried to avoid commenting here, but I think it's relatively safe (or at least safer) now. And I know some people don't like reading the "author's intentions," so if that's the case feel free to just skip this. :P<br /><br />1.) First and foremost, I suppose this really is more of a "fusion" than a crossover; I'm afraid I was unaware of that term when I first submitted this story! My apologies.<br /><br />As I suspect is the case with many ponies here, 12 Angry Men is one of my all-time favorite movies, and while rewatching it lately I couldn't help but wonder what it would look like if I were told to adapt the story to Ponyville. And hence, this story!<br /><br />On that front, I think my high rating here is somewhat undeserved -- the credit should go almost wholly to Reginald Rose, the FANTASTIC author of the teleplay. I tried to stay relatively true to the biggest scenes and themes (especially in Act III), despite feeling that I had to stretch the pony personalities a bit to fit.<br /><br />In writing, I used a fair deal of dialogue verbatim (or almost verbatim) from the teleplay script, the teleplay from 1954, and the 1957 movie. So chances are if there was something said that seemed a bit "off" in the story, I was borrowing it from the originals.<br /><br />2.) Writing Pinkie Pie as a bigot and Rainbow Dash as the excitable bully was a hard line to walk, and caused me continually rewrite portions of Act III. I'm personally not convinced I pulled it off, either -- at times I feel they both lost their pony "voice" in their biggest scenes. Perhaps I should waited longer before submitting the final Act! Who knows.<br /><br />I will say that in writing the Pinkie Pie scenes, though, I am still amazed at some of the language Pinkie Pie actually uses in the Bridle Gossip episode. Although it is easy to dismiss it as silly while watching Pinkie and her antics, if you take her words at face-value it is actually more than a little disturbing. Most of her "rant" in Act III is completely based on her dialogue from Bridle Gossip.<br /><br />3.) Even for 12 Angry Men fans, I hope the various topics of debate where refreshing -- although many of the doubts brought forth are similar to those brought out in 12 Angry Men, I still think most of them are fairly unique to this story. <br /><br />In addition, since it was brought up: the reference to Poison Joke was not intended to be a "secret"; the story was created specifically so that pony fans would hopefully jump to that conclusion immediately. (After all, Zecora + Curse quite obviously leads to that conclusion for anypony who has seen the Bridle Gossip episode). <br /><br />But the critical point here is that while a potential "solution" (Poison Joke) may be obvious to readers, the actual jurors are clearly quite unaware that the possibility even exists. At least in theory, this should have added some sort of underlying tension to the story than was not present in 12 Angry Men.<br /><br />4.) Also since it was brought up, I have not planned for an epilogue, and so it is unlikely I will ever write one for this story. Part of the appeal of 12 Angry Men is that you are never told what actually happened, or even what happens to anybody afterwards. I am perfectly content to leave both of those subjects unanswered.<br /><br />~<br /><br />Anyways, thanks for the feedback, all! *huggles*Jellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828310841691899055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-31954072602354812832011-11-09T13:32:37.248-07:002011-11-09T13:32:37.248-07:00This is awesome...

It did, at times, feel more like it was "The movie, but they're ponies now", because the characters followed a little bit too closely to the 12 Angry Men scripting. That's a hard thing to avoid with a setting like this (and the movie is so great that it's not really a bad thing anyway!), so there's not a lot of ways to get around it. Wherever possible, though, the best crossovers tell *new* stories using the style of one universe and the setting of another.<br /><br />All told, I was quite pleased when I saw this story the first time, and remain pleased with the way you finished it. Also, many, many thanks to you for inspiring me to rewatch the original film.Rekiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060983323338776693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-42733600209755880942011-11-09T01:31:49.101-07:002011-11-09T01:31:49.101-07:00Good story.

One o...I love the original '12 Angry Men'! One of my favorites as well!<br /><br />And I'm really impressed with what you got going here. It's very well written and a nice little idea of what these ponies would act like in this situation had they never met each other. <br />My only complaint would be that Pinkie Pie seemed a little out of character. I mean, I know that she was the one who brought up the idea of Zecora being evil in the show, but that was out of fear of the unknown, not flat out anger. Having her lean slightly towards Pinkamena helped out a lot, though. Also, the argument could be made that the characters in the show became more tolerant and understanding of others because of their experiences and adventures together, and that if none of that had happened, even Pinkie Pie might be a mean-spirited jerk.<br /><br />Also, I feel it follows the story of the original verrry closely. That's not exactly a bad thing, as I LOVE the original, but the best crossovers are the ones where it really feels like the two universes have collided (Doctor Whooves in Mines of Dragon Mountain; Stargate Equestria, for examples), not where it just feels like characters in the original have been swapped for the ponies. Even so, the story is just different enough and the characters different enough that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and can't wait for the next parts.<br />(Unfortunately, I'll have to refrain from rating it until it is finished. Just a personal policy of mine :P )TotalOverflowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786630274380547945noreply@blogger.com
