Prereader Conversation: Human Exploitation · 1:14am Oct 5th, 2014
While working on the next chapter of Flash Fog:

It's certainly something to think about.
On a related note, I need to watch the Equestria Girls movies eventually.

maybe [REDACTED]
ditto

If only because it turned out that both Lyra and Bon-Bon turned out to be right about [humans].

hoping someone puts up a good rip soon

They are very susceptible to magic, and they would make a formidable army for the invasion of Equestria.
Cal Iaponia 9:05 PM
we're also very good at exploiting things

Basically, the first movie demonstrated that their ideas aren't mutually exclusive.
Or at least, that's what the summaries seem to indicate.

two sides of the same coin
probably why [Lyra and Bon-Bon] can still deal with each other
Yeah, humans in the movie universe do seem to be easily brainwashed. Of course, evolving in an almost magicless environment probably doesn't lend itself to strong spell resistance.
The question is, could Bon-Bon convince Lyra to wrest control of the humans from their master?
I still like the idea that Equestrians really are little ponies, and the army of humans would be an army of giants.

Of course, given the way the portal works, that leaves one to wonder if they would have stayed brainwashed on the other side, turning into ponies there.
On a related note, I am now curious as to what Sunset Shimmer would have looked like after crossing over in her demon form.
Since you've brought up the movie, I've been recommending everyone watch this preview
And then read this:

Something like this, probably:

Only if unicorns and Co worked from shadows. Direct approach will most likely end in disaster.
