Topic: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Thank you!
I don't post much though, but do you guys do RP's?

Well, we used to, but it kinda died off for the time being. We may try to revive and start one fresh though, but that is yet to be seen at the moment. It most likely will happen though, so stay tuned.

@DJ-Pon3

I'm always happy to welcome new bronies to our thread!

@GaurdianKing Yay more Cadance, even if it's just a dress up game.

REALLY, I HAD DERPY IN MY CART AGAIN! WHAT DO YOU KNOW, SHE SOLD OUT BY THE TIME I GOT TO CHECK OUT AGAIN!!

I'm gonna go punch something.

Well, it's been a while since I've been here hasn't it. Well, good to see you guys are still going strong! Keep it up!
@DJ-PON3:

That sucks, season 3 is going to be 13 episodes. Is this the beginning of the end? Will we see six seasons and a movie? We may never know.

Anyhow, welcome to our little herd, @DJ-PON3. We do RP from time to time, and I was thinking about starting another RP "campaign", but with some rules and guidelines, to keep things going smoothly. I don't really have an OC. I've always thought that OC's are just silly.

An average US cartoon is 12-13 episodes per season so I really don't think it's anything to worry about.

Says who?

@Electricmastro Says EQD and their interview. This just means less episodes PER SEASON. I'm sorry, but as much as I love MLP, even it can have the "too much of a good thing is bad" syndrome. Sorry to say this, but I do feel like some of the episodes seem a little forced. Not by much. Shorter is better sometimes.

Oh, and since the team is still at work, it confirms the more seasons thing.

SUDDEN REALIZATION: Maybe season 3 is ALL about the Crystal Kingdom (remember the toy line's name; Adventures in the Crystal Kingdom)!

I don't really have an OC, but I did draw an original pony from my mind once in a Home Run Inn. Her name is Yogurt.

@GuardianKing: I doubt the season would be based entirely around one thing, considering the episodes' individual plot nature. Remember that Hasbro had an entire toy line on the Canterlot Wedding too, and that was only two episodes.

There's none of this "too much of a good thing" rubbish when it comes to ponies. NOTHING!

With all seriousness though, I think it would actually be more interesting if Season 3 was more of a story arc/saga.

Is Hasbro cutting the seasons of any other Hub show?
@Electricmastro: It would be kinda nice to have a season with a continuing story arc a la Avatar: The Last Airbender. I don't really see it happening though because most kid TV shows with a continuous story arc are catered to 10 year old males at youngest, and Hasbro still wants to cater to MLP's target audience, even if the audience outside the target audience is larger.

If Season 3 is going to have significantly less time to air content compared to Seasons 1 and 2, then it might as well be apart of something bigger with the limited run times it has to work with.

So Season 3 is going to be only 13 episodes long. My hope is that they give each of those episodes extra special attention. The down side is that each pony probably won't get nearly identical attention.

Let's think about it...

> 2-part opener
> 2-part finale (potentially)
> 6 episodes, 1 for each of the Mane 6
> at least 1 episode for the Cutie Mark Crusaders
> 2 episodes for whatever else.

I'd hold out hopes that the opener and finales are, somehow, going to be hour-long specials that can be broken up into two episodes for syndication, but I'm not getting those hopes up. Still, if this helps allocate costs so the show can last longer, I'm all for it.

...I still want 2 Applejack episodes and an Applejack song next season though. XD

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnddddddd...... My tablet is broken. While I know that a majority of you clearly don't care, this still kind of sucks... I won't be drawing ponies in a long while, or, for that matter, I can't finish @GuardianKing's drawing. Welp, time to start the @SquiggleTail Tablet Fund raiser....!

@SquiggleTail Oh no!

@SquiggleTail Man that whomps

Derpy has been removed from Hasbro's online store, I guess she is officially sold out. I hope Hasbro comes to their senses and releases a Derpy toy, I'm sure there a few bronies still looking for one. As for the whole 13 episode thing, I'm not sure why they reduced the season size, but I doubt season 3 will be FiM's final season. I think it's more along lines to save money, I guess it won't be long before we have an answer.

Well thanks for welcoming me! As for the next season, I can't beleive it will only be 13 episodes. Hopefully they'll make them longer, or I will rage to the point of extinction.

@Everypony You do know that Season 3 is loooooong done, right? Yet, the staff is still working. They're surely doing more seasons.

@SquiggleTail Oh noes!

@GuardianKing Thank god they're doing more seasons! I'd inplode if they didn't.

@GuardianKing: We know, you told us. That doesn't mean we can't contemplate the contents of the season.

@Squiggletail: Aw. I got an idea! Form a Kickstarter and promise everybody free ice cream! And maybe pony drawings!
