There's plenty.

Dixanadu · #**452** 05-25-2012, 08:35 PM

Really?

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

Sekto Springs · #**453** 05-25-2012, 08:39 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.

Sekto Springs · #**455** 05-25-2012, 08:42 PM

The sound editing in that video made me sad.

Dixanadu · #**456** 05-25-2012, 08:46 PM

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

BUT PONYZ MAN

FUKN PNOYZ

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 · #**459** 05-25-2012, 10:34 PM

The ratio of likes to dislikes says it all.

Mr. Bungle · #**460** 05-25-2012, 11:03 PM

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

Sekto Springs · #**461** 05-25-2012, 11:16 PM

Yeah, it's unwatchably horrible.

STM · #**462** 05-26-2012, 12:04 AM

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

Nepsotic · #**463** 05-26-2012, 02:28 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 · #**464** 05-26-2012, 03:56 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 · #**465** 05-26-2012, 04:06 AM

Fuck me. What were you eating?

Strike Witch · #**466** 05-26-2012, 05:50 AM

This thread is so proselytizing!

RoryF · #**467** 05-26-2012, 06:57 AM

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

Manco · #**468** 05-26-2012, 07:14 AM

"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 · #**470** 05-26-2012, 11:30 AM

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

Sekto Springs · #**471** 05-26-2012, 11:38 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 · #**472** 05-26-2012, 03:05 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 · #**473** 05-26-2012, 03:28 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 · #**474** 05-26-2012, 04:18 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 · #**475** 05-26-2012, 04:24 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 · #**476** 05-26-2012, 04:44 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.

god damn it. look at what you people make me do.

***Nate*** · #**479** 05-27-2012, 01:11 AM

For the record, I have de-ponified myself.

That is all.

Sekto Springs · #**480** 05-27-2012, 01:12 AM

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