My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

[Weasel]

Clip:

Spoiler: my worthless opinion

3 birds of prey and a bat. Awesome. Bat will probably win win though. It looks the most marketable. Though I'd like to see the eagle or the falcon win.

Man, i wish that people wouldn't take the show so seriously. Though it does have morals, it's not really meant to teach anything to anyone. I mean, children watch tom and jerry often, and you don't see children running around whacking people over the heads with mallets and crap like that. I mean, it's merely just for fun. It does have messages, and children should take from these messages, but the show shouldn't be taken that seriously.

Just to say, i'm not having a go at Smashgoom202. I'm having a go at the guy who made this video, and whatever the post was on whatever forum it was.

Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, and all that is one thing, but kids are still very impressionable and what they see as kids does stick with them as they grow up, no matter how subtle it may be. And I don't mean in the literal sense that kids copy what they watch on TV, but in that they take what they see in the cartoons and apply it to reality. Not to metnion, Tom & Jerry were specifically meant to be entertaining. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, while entertaining, is also meant to teach kids watching it. Isn't it better to learn WHILE being entertained? Instead of it being one or the other?

And what makes you say this should shouldn't be taken seriously? Are you saying all of the morals in this show are bogus? Because I disagree with that, I think that most of the episodes teach very good morals. I don't understand the logic not having this show open to interpretation like other shows can.

I never said they were bogus - I said that children can take alot from the lessons used in the show. All i'm trying to say is that this guy has put too much thought into one moral, and he's taken it far too seriously, like if Richard Dawkins or someone like that said it. He's trying to argue over a children's programme (and now a young adult's programme), even though it's meant to entertain and teach at the same time.

And i never said we have to chose between one or the other, and i was only using tom and jerry as an example to compare them as both cartoons.

Well I, for one, applaud that guy for taking it too seriously, because it addresses to problems of bad writing and vague lessons that can be easy to misinterpret. The fact that it's a children's program is EXACTLY why it should be picked apart and analyzed, to make sure it's okay for kids to watch without giving the wrong message, or a bad one. The lesson in that episode was really wonky, I couldn't really understand it. Not to mention, the method used to reach that conclusion was also really iffy, and something I really hated while watching the episode. ...Along with the Pinkie Sense never being mentioned or seen again.

...Anyway, about the new pic and clip:

Spoiler

I thought that thing on the far left was a flying squirrel at first... but upon closer inspection it seems to be a bat... THAT is who I want to see win, bats are awesome! As for the clip, it's great to see Winona and Owlowiscious again, and Gummy's in top performance as usual. Can't wait to see more of them, and Angel as well.

I agree, it was very iffy that she didn't have the Pinkie sense in later (or earlier) episodes. But it sure was funny. Anyway, we should stop talking about this topic before it gets out of hand.

Anyway, that promo pic will be my desktop background! :D

Yeah, I was wondering where her Pinkie Sense went. But I guess after that there weren't many things randomly falling out of the sky.

True dat. Probably because Derpy got fired from her moover's job.

I actually want to see that fat owl win. I mean, look at it being all fluffy ^^. Since Twilight already has an owl, it probably won't win though :/

Besides that I don't think an Owl fits Rainbow Dash. While a Hawk or an Eagle seems like a more obvious choice, but I bet that the Bat will have some spunky attitude that Dash really likes.

I bet the show will suprise us and pick the owl.
