    After watching "Flutter Bruther."

    Wow. So this is the most adult episode from MLP. Finding a vocation is a hard thing to do, especially with a crippling fear of failure.

    Rainbow Newbie.

    I am proud to admit that I have never skipped a single episode of FiM during the time I've been watching the show. But "Rainbow Newbie" really tested my patience. Wasn't the plot only cringy, with Rainbow trying to imitate her friends JUST to change the nickname, but it is also a terrible plan to do so, and this lesson is just awful to teach kids. "You don't like a nickname? Well, boo-hoo! Suck

    "Looking for an update"

    Hello anyone that reads this blog. Sorry I've been inactive so much on this account, it really pains me not having worked on anything related to "Power Rangers: Guardians of Harmony." I've been focusing a lot on "Persona SH" with both writing and mapping-out, not to mention I've been trying to push forward a chapter for my collab. Emphasis on trying.

    Observations on "The Cutie Re-Mark."

    I hear people everywhere saying that Starlight was willing to go through her revenge even though she knows what'll happen to Equestria. But people seem to keep forgetting that Starlight outright calls what Twilight showed her bullshit (not literally, mind you). Starlight is not convinced at all that her intervention of the timeline actually brings the destruction of Equestria. Whether she doesn't

    About "Hooffields and McColts."

    So, I hear a lot of bronies talking about last week's episode, one that is based on one of the most infamous real life feuds in history. I think it had some good jokes and some weak points, but it was certainly a good episode. However, one thing that I keep noticing is that people compare this episode with what is considered by most to be the worst episode of Avatar: The Last Air Bender.

Something that bothered me about Friendship Games (Spoilers) · 10:53pm Sep 29th, 2015

So a third movie came up with the characters of the human world, ending with a climax that reflects the final act of the first movie with Human!Twilight becoming a power-crazed dark angel, and Sunset Shimmer becoming a fire angel to stop her... but both of them suddenly have horns...

Let me tell you why this bothers me:

The producers in these movies had to make one big decision when making the movie: Keep the characters recognizable for the target demographic, or making the characters look realistic?

Of course, since the target demographic are children and everybody knows that children are dumb, they went with the first option. Thus, we had a "human world" filled with people with pastel colored skin and hair and with names that you wouldn't call your child unless you were Mandark's parents (Dexter's Laboratory).

Now these characters are virtually the same, except that now they all come from the same cookie-cutter, instead of having three. Then, the movies went a step further and made the main 6 plus Sunset be able to "Pony-up," changing their human ears to pony ears, having their hair grow longer and in the case of the three characters that we know have wings in the Pony world suddenly grow wings too.

But what happened with the magic users? Do they grow a horn on their forehead? NOPE! Somebody during production pussied out and didn't went all the way in with the ponyfication.

You have technicolor skin and hair; You have Pony Names instead of normal, human names; You gave seven characters the power to turn into Anthro-ponies. You gave three of these seven characters WINGS when they turn.

You went into great strides to make sure CHILDREN didn't get too confused at the pony characters turned human, yet you don't have the BALLS to have the characters that are UNICORNS grow a HORN when they pony-up?

FAIL!

And now, in the third movie of these series, after two movies where neither Rarity, Twilight or Sunset had a horn appear on their foreheads, you suddenly decide to have Sunset have a horn and Human!Twilight, who had nothing to do with the previous two movies, also have a horn?

ULTRA FAIL!!!!!

This shows one enormous lack of thought, since they weren't commited enough to go all the way with the pony-traits, and then a even larger lack of commitment by not remaining consistent about this detail.

Consistency is something that really bothers me. It is the reason I dislike the Harry Potter Films (Oh look, Harry's Patronus can take the form of a buck ONLY ONCE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES!). If you can't bother to make your work consistent, then I can't take it seriously.

Sorry. It just bothers me a lot.
