Honestly, in my mind, I've given them a chance and they've already blown it. The art has gotten worse every time they change it. That image makes me pine for the original concept art... which was horrible. But it was head and shoulders above this garbage.

Seriously that's some uncanny valley shit right there.

I'm seriously hoping the animation looks better in motion, right now it looks like My Little Pony: Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I'm still planning to watch Equestrian Girls, if for no other reason than curiosity.

I'll probably watch at least the first episode, just to check it out.

So this exists:

I was made aware of this thanks to a friend who was annoyed with me when they posted it.  All I can really do is facepalm.

Clarification:  I believe this friend is annoyed at this group's existence, as am I.  He was feeling annoyed with the group, and sharing it with me.  Facebook can't really specify that well.

In response to the Fandumb thread and that anticorn group, and about how the idea that "marrying into royalty is always better"...

That mindset is part of the entire reason why princesses are treated as sexist joke of pretty much everything.  "Princess is just a purty title to be purty and make you speshul!"

But hell, in MLP, being a princess is actually a fucking duty.  Princesses kick ass, princesses are more or less queens in all but name (to an extent).  It's a title you have to actually earn, which Twilight Sparkle did.

...And here's the part where I realize I'm nerding out about MLP.

Regardless, the fact that people are STILL upset about the alicorn thing peeves me.  The fandom is so young and yet it's already got a whole bunch of "CHANGES ARE BAD BAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW" nerds.

Have these people always been around since the beginning of the first fandom?  Because it feels like there's a lot more people resistant to change in their favorite media now than there was before.

Well, the internet allows like-minded individuals to congregate so maybe this sort of thing has been around for a while now.

So am I the only person annoyed by the portrayal of Fluttershy as shy in fan work?  I realize she used to be shy, but she's undergone significant character growth coming out of her shell.  I can't help but feel that fanwork that still treats her like she's still really shy is just ignoring all that character growth she's undergone in two seasons.

Well the show wasn't that consistent in her portrayal anyway, they had one episode where she dealt with her shyness, and then another in the same season.

Would you care to be more specific?

Yeah, sorry. in Putting your Hoof down, Fluttershy overcame her shyness by becoming overly assertive and being a dick to everyone, at the end of the episode she was supposed to have learned that she can be assertive without being overtly agressive. then in Hurricane Fluttershy, she goes right back to being really shy.
