Okay, reading another post on another forum I go to, I realize that Hasbro DID do the right thing... That is to say, the right thing in securing their show and property, I'm still not sure if they went about it in the "right" way.

Yeah, it was a minority, but I guess angry/displeased fans are a different kettle of fish to "offended" fans, and whether it was intentional or not, Derpy herself COULD be viewed as offensive.

It's like what Gamefreak75 said, he doesn't see what's so offensive about the crazy barking pony, but then again, I don't see what's so offensive about Derpy scene. But it CAN be offensive, and the fact that people were outraged enough to actually write to Hasbro about it signaled that they needed to ensue it would be less offensive, so it won't upset the wandering parent or anyone else who isn't immediately familiar with the show and it's background.

I STILL don't like that they fixed her eyes, because that's part of who she is, that's the whole reason WHY she got her own scene and is as popular as she is!

But the voice? Much better than the old one. And removing of Derpy? Well, while I don't see it as slang for "retarded", if it upsets enough people, I guess there's not much I can do much about it to convince them otherwise. I'm okay with the idea that her real name is "Ditzy Doo", but her friends call her "Derpy" as a nickname."

That's what I like about discussions like this. Sometimes, people become enlightened, people learn new things, people understand one-another, and we grow smarter and better.

It's MUCH better than the usual "YES SHE IS! NO SHE ISN'T! YES SHE IS! NO SHE ISN'T!" you usually see on YouTube or, dare I say, even Equestria Daily.
 
Can someone summarize everything that happened past the Derpy stuff?
I keep seeing these annoying walls of text and so I just skipped a bunch of pages. Whenever Derpy is mentioned I just skip the next few pages.
 
GUYS JUST SHUT UP AND LETS ENJOY THE EPISODE AT ONE TODAY
 
Interesting episode.
I happened to like the goats a lot. Also the Eye of the Tiger thing was neat. So was the "We're both real creatures" part. Overall a touching episode (and certainly shocking) but not the best.
 
On the first watch. I can't really put down the details. But it was pretty sweet and at times quite funny

I gotta say. I loved Angel's slap on Fluttershy on the beginning. But it's Angel's fault Fluttershy even ends up doing this all. And when Fluttershy finally got that super fancy salad that he wanted just without a cherry. He rejected it. I kinda lost some like for Angel after today's episode.

Also Iron Will isn't QUITE an antagonist as we first thought in fact he doesn't even appear for most of the episode. But his parts were still fun.

Also we need Assertive!Fluttershy Vs. Luna now

Also no appearance by Twilight. So the Rotating avatar will still be up for another week.
 
Just saw Putting Your Hoof Down. I have to admit this was a pretty awesome episode.

No R. Lee Ermy as Iron Will. Instead we get HERCULE FROM DRAGON BALL Z! At least it sounds like Hercule, and he's hammy enough to be Hercule. Seriously, half the fun of this episode was watching Iron Will shoot poses and spout catchphrases!

I will say this, I DO like nasty/new Fluttershy more than old Fluttershy... Because old Fluttershy kept getting pushed around. If I were there, I'd BEAT UP EVERY SINGLE PONY who DARED to inconvenience Fluttershy! >:(

But even still, new/nasty Fluttershy insulted Rarity and Pinkie Pie without even being provoked. Even still, there were too many jerks in this episode for me to be mad at Fluttershy for being mean.

Hell, they kept calling Iron Will a monster, and even though his attitude WAS jerky, and he was in it for the money, he DID seem like a reasonable guy. After all, he DID uphold his end of the deal, that is, if they're not satisfied, they don't have to pay. He could have EASILY forced Fluttershy into paying anyway, but he actually stuck to the promise. In fact, I think this might have done a load of good for him, finally being told "no" and having someone actually stand up to him.

Yeah... he's an alright guy in my book. Not an antagonist, and certainly not unreasonable at the end, but at the same time, not necessarily a nice/good guy. sort of a... "chaotic neutral"... Am I right?

Let's see what else...

-Pinkie Pie twisting her head around again, it's so funny and cute!

-AND she was with Rarity, just like last time!

-It's the return of the mailpony from The Last Roundup! I love that dude!

-Yet another voice from Bon-Bon.

-Did I mention I wanted to punch every jerky pony in the face near the beginning? Well I do. >:(

-Angel was especially jerky in this episode, but then again, he always seems to get his way with Fluttershy... Unless she gives him the STARE! :-X

Which she did, by the episode's end. CONTINUITY! :D

-Hayseed... Greenhooves? Is that what he was called? The same pony from the Grand Galloping Gala? Nice to see him again.

-Seriously, as much as Pinkie Pie and Rarity tried to help Fluttershy, I felt like they were giving her the wrong kind of advise, either seducing or tricking/haggling the other pony (or minotaur) into giving them what they want. Don't really see how that's better advise than Iron Will's. I mean, yeah, I guess they're not as "bad" as Iron Will's, but at least he gets results, and in the end, that's kind of what matters, am I right?

-Speaking of Pinkie Pie haggling, I TOTALLY saw the whole "Rabbit Season/Duck Season" exchange coming from a mile away. Kind of upset that Iron Will nearly fell for it... Almost.

Can't really think of anything else to address... Good episode, overall! Fluttershy and Iron Will DEFINITELY make it one of my new favorites... Just have to sit through poor Fluttershy being abused. :(

Edit: OH I JUST REMEMBERED! When Fluttershy returns home after she realized what a bitch she's been, the music sounds like the sad walking away music from The Incredible Hulk!
 
I loved the build-up and handling of this episode. Ever since their desert adventure Rarity and Pinkie Pie have become best friend it seems :3

Of course, the plot of the episode was also quite nice, and I liked the Minotaur as a character. Also the goats, they were cool too. But besides them, the salesman and all the valleygirl ponies show that not everyone in ponyville is that nice.

Did Spike die or something? Also how come RD and Twilight weren't in this one?
Click to expand...

I don't think Spike died lol

And hey sometimes not everyone of your friends are available at the moment. (Applejack wasn't there either). I think it was alright though, we kinda got a look-in with the relation between Rarity and Pinkie Pie. The last time they interacted was the ending of The Last Roundup where Rarity was being incredibly annoyed.

Also how did you like that scene where Rarity was seducing that nerd pony Mason? xD

(Also next week we're not getting just one Twilight. but 2 of them. So I think it more then balances out)
