"Friendship Games" - weird VA coincidence · 9:40am Oct 3rd, 2015
I have to admit I totally didn't realize this until someone on Equestria Daily pointed it out, but now it's blowing my mind.
In this scene from Friendship Games, Fluttershy faces off with a challenger from Crystal Prep, Sour Sweet, in the obstacle course. Sour Sweet's one character trait is that she's kind of bipolar, but she's a fun enough character despite that.
But this is where it gets weird.
Fluttershy's voice actress is Andrea Libman. Also famously known as the voice of AndrAIa.
Sour Sweet's voice actress is Sharon Alexander. Also famously known as the voice of....
....AndrAIa.
Of all the characters in the film, it pits the two voice actresses behind one of my biggest boyhood crushes (right alongside Becky and Darlene Connor, Larisa Oleynik, the actress who replaced Jewel Staite on Space Cases.... I spent a lot of time in front of the television as a child) against each other. The synchronicity of that just blows my mind. This is a deeply profound, nearly spiritual experience, people; I'm seeing through the fabric of space and time here.
Well, not really, but it did did make me go .
And, since it's internet law that every article or blog post about ReBoot must embed the musical recap from season three, here it is. I'm sorry, but it's out of my hands; the law is quite clear on this.
(spoilers, obviously)
(Also, that's the annoying tourist from "Putting Your Hoof Down" at the beginning there)
Oh, it gets weirder.
In Pony, Tabitha St. Germain's character owns a spoiled, obnoxious white Persian cat. In Dog City, she played... a spoiled, obnoxious white Persian cat.
Can anyone top that?

Given Tara Strong illustrious twenty-year career, I'm sure there's something, but I can't be assed to figure out what.
