MLP Episode 1-2 Pitch Meeting · 1:09pm Jan 29th, 2023
(The following is a parody of Ryan George's Pitch Meetings on YouTube. Ponies play the humans. Please...enjoy.)
Twilight: So, you have the first & second episodes of a new show for me?
Starlight: Yes, ma'am, I do! It's called Friendship is Magic and it stars us!
Twilight: Us? As in-
Starlight: Yes, us...ponies...of all kinds. Six main ones, but the fandom should be so excited that they start contributing more and more until there's just a TON of OCs.
Twilight: How many OCs are we talking about, here?
Starlight: Enough to fill...well, just a TON of websites.
Twilight: How many is a ton, exactly?
Starlight: I don't know!
Twilight: Fair enough! So, what happens in this thing?
Starlight: Well, we're gonna start by telling the story of Princesses Celestia and Luna
Twilight: Oh, they're in this thing?
Starlight: They sure are, ma'am, and we're NOT gonna give their backstory beyond this.
Twilight: Are you sure? 'Cause...tha-that seems like something fans might be interested in.
Starlight: NO!
Twilight: Well, alright, then
Starlight: So, the star of the show...well...it's...um...it's you, ma'am.
Twilight: Oh, I'm the star?
Starlight: Yes, ma'am, you are, and I'm totally not buttering you up so that you'll give me a cushy villain-turned-ally role somewhere around the start of the fifth season. TOTALLY not buttering you up, ma'am!
Twilight: Oh, that's understandable. Not buttering things up is TIGHT! But, aren't you the writer?
Starlight: Yeah-yeah-yeah!
Twilight: So, couldn't you just give yourself the role anyway?
Starlight: Hey, shut up, and so we're gonna follow your adventures with your friends Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy!
Twilight: Ooooo...so, what do me and my oddly real world friends get up to?
Starlight: Well, in this first episode, you move to Ponyville because Celestia asks you to go and learn about friendship because you're a loner with a sad existence who just carries around the most amount of literary and emotional baggage ever seen in a main character.
Twilight: Wait, literary and emotional baggage?
Starlight: Yeah-yeah-yeah
Twilight: Wow, sounds like it's gonna be super hard for me to get out of that situation
Starlight: Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Twilight: Oh, really?
Starlight: Yeah, you kinda make your acquaintances really rapidly, 'cause by the end of part one of this thing, we've gotta introduce the villain.
Twilight: Oh, and what's her deal?
Starlight: Well, she's an evil pony with just the most viciously floaty mane in Equestria
Twilight: OOOOOO, viciously floaty manes are TIGHT!
Starlight: Indeed, they are, ma'am! Anyway, she's an evil version of Princess Luna named Nightmare Moon and she wants to shroud Equestria in never ending, soul crushing, hope evaporating darkness.
Twilight: Oh, no!
Starlight: Yeah, so you and your friends, you've gotta go stop her...in part 2 of the episode.
Twilight: Why not just have this whole thing be one big conglomerate? Can't my friends and I stop Nightmare Moon all in one fell swoop? By the by, where is Celestia in all this?
Starlight: I don't know...to all THREE!
Twilight: Oh, wow-wow-wow............................wow.
Starlight: Anyway, in part two, you've gotta go through some tests put forward by Nightmare Moon and try and retrieve the Elements of Harmony to stop her.
Twilight: Oh, and what are the Elements' deals?
Starlight: They're these stones that Celestia used to imprison Nightmare Moon in the moon for a thousand years.
Twilight: Oh, she went moon on moon?
Starlight: She went moon on moon, ma'am!
Twilight: Oh, wow-wow-wow-wow!
Starlight: Anyway, so through all of these tests, you finally figure out that the ponies you made really rapid acquaintance with are automatically your best friends and then you all go to this super spooky castle to fight Nightmare Moon and defeat her once and for all.
Twilight: Seems to me like I would have figured out the whole friendship thing sooner, considering my character is somewhat intelligent?
Starlight: But you're a NERD...so...you know, that AUTOMATICALLY makes you a loner, which means you need to figure out how horses behave...socially.
Twilight: Well, alright, then. So, how does the final fight go between us and Nightmare Moon?
Starlight: Well, at first, you make eye contact with the villain and then she just totally kicks your rump!
Twilight: She kicks my rump?
Starlight: Like Fluttershy at the video games, ma'am! She totally kicks rump!
Twilight: Wow, it's gonna be super tough to get out of having my rump kicked by the literal embodiment of the night itself
Starlight: Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Twilight: Oh, really?
Starlight: Yeah, see, you make this big, elongated speech and-
Twilight: Oh, I bore her to death?
Starlight: No, ma'am, you don't, but you do manage to activate the Elements via the power of friendship, and you and your new buddies shoot a giant rainbow from your heads and smash Nightmare Moon back into being Princess Luna.
Twilight: Oh, using your head to create a giant violent rainbow is TIGHT!
Starlight: So many things are tight today, ma'am! Anyway, then Celestia comes in, congratulates you, and you and your friends celebrate as you get your new assignment.
Twilight: What's that?
Starlight: To live in this town you barely know among ponies that you've spent about a day's worth of time with and learn more about friendship.
Twilight: Oh, I can't wait to learn about friendship!
Starlight: Me neither, ma'am! Me neither!
