There's plenty.

Dixanadu 05-25-2012 07:35 PM

Really?

The idea of watching it would make me feel majorly uncomfortable, though.

Sekto Springs 05-25-2012 07:39 PM

Why?
Are you afraid you might grow a vagina or something?

You like visual kei, which is far gayer than MLP. You'll be fine.

The sound editing in that video made me sad.

Dixanadu 05-25-2012 07:46 PM

Visual kei may be men in make up and styled hair.

BUT PONYZ MAN

Actually, not too long before MLP:FIM was released, there was a terrible pilot for another MLP show that all Bronies are thankful didn't get the green light. At least I think it was pilot. The production values were so low that I'm not sure...


Do you have a link? I have a morbid curiousity towards stuff like this.

Sekto Springs 05-25-2012 09:34 PM



The ratio of likes to dislikes says it all.

Mr. Bungle 05-25-2012 10:03 PM

Whoa man that's bad. I got about 2:00 in and just couldn't stomach any more. Wow.

Sekto Springs 05-25-2012 10:16 PM

Yeah, it's unwatchably horrible.

STM 05-25-2012 11:04 PM

Hey, Sekto, are they gonna get rid of that Derpy character? Seems like a bit of a sell out if they do. =/

Nepsotic 05-26-2012 01:28 AM

Nah, I think it got sorted when they changed the voice, but I may be wrong.

Also, did anyone make it through that whole video? I got to where the pony started talking.

MeechMunchie 05-26-2012 02:56 AM

The pause image was enough for me.

I had this weird dream last night. It's a combination of this and the Abe HD threads. In the Abe HD thread, I was talking about Abe's scars and his ritual with BigFace.

So the dream (which starts in the middle of the action, as they do) has me in the middle of this Native American ritual thing. I'm being welcomed into their tribe for some reason or other. Bonfire, dancing, fluffy headresses, big starry sky, you know the sort of thing. The big chief guy comes up with a knife, and scores a line down each of my palms, then four vertical cuts along my bottom lip (probably a subconscious nod to Abe's stitches). The music rises, my hands are painted black with warpaint, and then lines of red, yellow and blue painted around my fingers. Then Big Chief Guy speaks, in a stereotypical, hoarse "Chief Injun" voice:

"And your name here shall be... RAINBOW SPARKLE."

Nepsotic 05-26-2012 03:06 AM

Fuck me. What were you eating?

Strike Witch 05-26-2012 04:50 AM

This thread is so proselytizing!

RoryF 05-26-2012 05:57 AM

My Libretto pony avatar got changed back to normal for some reason but it's back again now.

"And your name here shall be... RAINBOW SPARKLE."

It’s like the worst fancharacter backstory in history.

Not it they care one iota about their fans.

Nepsotic 05-26-2012 10:30 AM

But I thought when they changed the voice, everything was sorted.

Sekto Springs 05-26-2012 10:38 AM

Yes and no. They're keeping her, but because of the uproar they're probably going to avoid giving her the spotlight entirely, which is unfortunate, because she's a fan favorite.

Manco 05-26-2012 02:05 PM

I’m fine with that; she works better as a side character who you have to be looking out for to notice.

That scene with her being prominent and getting a speaking role was almost cringeworthy. When a show starts trying too hard to make fan references is when things get awkward.

Did you know she used to be named Ditzy Do? Then the internet got a hold of her.

Nepsotic 05-26-2012 02:28 PM

Yeah, that was mentioned in a video that I think Sekto posted.
Also, haven't seen much of Crashpunk for the past few days...

Sekto Springs 05-26-2012 03:18 PM

I don't see what the problem with fan service is. If it doesn't detract from the show itself, which I don't think it did, then what's the problem?

Manco 05-26-2012 03:24 PM

It’s a symptom of the creator being aware of and subsequently trying too hard to please the fanbase, which is often the point when the original charm gets lost in all the callbacks and shoutouts.

I like subtle stuff (like in the earlier episodes where Derpy can be seen in the background and suchlike), but when they go out of the way to put the character front and center with a speaking role, I get worried – especially when they rename her and then exaggerate her character for the role.

MA 05-26-2012 03:44 PM

oh fucking hell, guys. now i have to change my avatar to disassociate myself from you freaks, but my Jaason pony is so fucking cool.

For the record, I have de-ponified myself.

That is all.

Sekto Springs 05-27-2012 12:12 AM

You de-ponified your avatar.
But once you go pony, you never go back.
