    MLP: TNG

    I'm a month late to this, but here's my take on MLP: TNG (or whatever we're calling it). I was underwhelmed the first time I watched it, but I gave it a second chance, and it started to grow on me. I think my mistake was watching Raya and the Last Dragon just a few days before the G5 movie. Both movies have similar themes and plots, but they handle them differently. More on that later.

    Revisiting the Final Season

    A few months ago, I rewatched Season 9, and I liked it even better than the first time I saw it. There were still two episodes that I didn't care for: “3, 2, 1, Greaaat” and “Trivial Pursuit.” With both of those episodes, I went into them with the mindset that I would skip to the next episode when they started to annoy me. I only made it a few minutes into each episode.

    Bereavement

    It's been awhile since I've posted any updates. Things happened one after another to make me lose interest in multicolored ponies. First the show ended, and then real world problems started happening. Then came the worst case scenario – I lost my father in February of this year.

    Random update

    I haven't been on this site as much as I use to because of real life distractions. Not all of the distractions have been good, but the good ones are truly amazing.

    Pony Life is a regression to Season One

    Maybe it's just because the MLP stop-motion shorts lowered my expectations, but so far I think Pony Life is okay. I wouldn't call it good, but at least it doesn't directly insult older fans the way Thundercats Roar does (or so I've heard). I enjoy Pony Life's animation style enough to recommend watching five minutes of it. Plus, there is actual dialog spoken by the same VA's from FiM, and they

My Baby Pony · 1:32am Feb 26th, 2020

I 've known about the stop motion shorts for a few weeks, and I finally watched one a couple of days ago to see how bad it was (specifically, it was “Cake Off”). And . . . Yeah, it was bad, folks. It wasn't even a preschool show. This was a show for babies. There was just giggling, laughing, crying, and no dialog. The short technically had a plot, but it was very simple and without substance. It's the equivalent of making funny faces and noises to try to get a baby to laugh. I'd say this was a regression to “Newborn Cuties” except “Newborn Cuties” at least has dialog. The stop motion animation is better than the cheap flash animation in “Newborn Cuties,” but the mouths are bothering me. The mouths are below the muzzles instead of on them, and the muzzles don't move with the mouths. They mostly look okay when they smile, but when they frown, the ponies look like they have stylistic human mouths beneath weird-looking noses.

The best thing I can say about the new shorts is that they're, well, short. At two minutes, they're more like long commercials. I'm just going to forget about them and wait for the new movie and G5 to come out. Even if they're not as good as FiM, they've got to be better than this.

Thanks for showing me, I hate it.

The noses are just... yeah.
We'll see g5 when we see it, I guess.

I watched the first one. Never again. Nope.
