I don't really understand the comics. They use both a rather different style of art, and a rather different style of storytelling, than the TV series. In fact, the comics look a lot like they are a parody of the TV series. If something like the Mad Magazine were to make a parody of MLP:FiM, it could well look like that.

Imo the comics aren't canon. There are a few discrepancies/plot holes when comparing to the Tv series. I stopped reading them a long time ago and I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Then you're missing out on Celestia and Sombra being lovers!
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

S7E21 Marks and Recreation Not the best written episode, but for some reason I couldn't help but laugh throughout it. Something about Rumble (or his voice) made me crack up constantly.

Hey, the movie is out (sorta). So far, for the first day, it has 6.3/10 in IMDB. It'll probably change in the future, but hey, maybe your views may differ.

It is my understanding, although I could be wrong about this, but in some parts of the United States (where "some parts" may comprise as small places as one single movie theater, perhaps), it's not uncommon for, in some movie theaters, certain movies to be kind of party events. With this I mean that people don't just go to see the movie, watching it quietly and then leave, but instead they go to the movie theater to have a kind of party, like it were a college spring break party or something. They will eat and drink, they will make noises, they might cosplay or otherwise dress up for the occasion (eg. in a halloween costume if this is some kind of related movie, for instance), they will cheer whatever little thing happens on the screen at the moment... Perhaps some people, at some places, in the US do consider the MLP movie such an event. Personally I would absolutely hate going to a movie theater like that.

Just watched the episode Fame and Misfortune. It's completely nonsensical.

The rest of S7 has leaked. I'm just going to watch the finale right away and tell you my thoughts later. And if you want to do the same, part1, part2. Part 1 thoughts Interesting and decent finale so far. I didn't even think of the previous episodes as "build-up" to this episode. It went by much more subliminally than in season 4 where it was made very obvious that the keys are going to have an importance. I was really thrilled at seeing Starswirl revealed in this episode, and the saviors of ancient Equestria. Basicly, this is the continuation of the main plot in the series I've been waiting for. "Where did the elements of harmony come from?" I only wish I could have hyped up and prepared better for this moment, than to just randomly find out the finale has leaked and deciding to watch it just because. But it's fine. However, there are some things in this episode that I didn't like and I would like to list them here: - There was build-up to the "keys" in previous episodes, but no build-up whatsoever to the book/story that is brought up in the finale. It was just pulled out of Sunburst's ass, more or less. - I would have to rewatch, but throughout the episode I've been thinking, why do they need to bring back the saviors and Starswirl at all? The only reasoning I found was that "having Starswirl back would be worth the risk". Yeah ok, Twilight, but no. Why? Just because you want to drink tea and talk with him? If so, it needs to be displayed in the episode better. I hope part 2 covers this better. - The revisits to certain places is really odd and way too shortlived. I couldn't feel invested into the characters guarding the ancient items at all. Rainbow Dash's part was cool, but everyone else, not so much... The plot of 6 saviors and Starswirl locking a shadow being reminds me of Mario The Thousand Year Door. I love it! I just wonder if the "pony of shadows" is related to the pony of shadows mentioned in the Castle-Mane-ia episode. At the time, it made sense to me to just assume that the being shown at the end of that episode was Tirek. I don't think there is a deeper meaning here, because the "pony of shadows" in the S7 finale was locked and the one in S4 was just there for shits and giggles... Part 2 thoughts Good 2nd part. Starswirl's character portrayal was almost perfect. I just wish he'd refer to Twilight as "Twilight Sparkle". I must say this two parter was bland at times, however. The pony of shadows didn't feel world threatening at all. His character design sucked. The meeting between Starswirl and Celestia was quite "whatever", no feelings or emotions. I'm a little disappointed at that. What's the biggest issue for me is that everyone and their elements gets to stay in present Equestria. This is basicly the same kind of "Happy happy ending" we've been given over and over. It would have been way more epic if there had been a drawback. Starswirl and co. sacrificing themselves for Twilight or for that one puny guy whose name I forgot. Or the elements being gone for good. I was half expecting that maybe Twilight, fed up to be a nuisance to her idol, was going to sacrifice herself, so she could be rescued by the others. Better story than "ok let's just go to that place and fight". But in the end, it was still a good 2 parter in my books.

Season 8 cinematic (contains spoilers) I sighed at the end of this video. For me this show is going downhill and fast if this turns out to lead to yet another happy happy ending. Of course, after Starlight told Crysalis "you don't have to do the same mistake as me" what else could happen but Crysalis gets reformed and becomes changeling princess. I'm sure Hasbro could sell changeling princess toys! But they would also lose something in return: My faith...

I'm taking a short break from the MLP archive binge. What a way to catch up! I'm focusing on Littlest Pet Shop for the entire week.

I just watched the MLP movie. It was decent but... https://pastebin.com/RXbm4Y5z + For a movie that was in the works for 2~3 years, it was lacklustre. I can get more out of the Equestria Girls movies than this, personally. The lack of known characters is a big killer for me. The villains never seemed so world threatening. It was overall a nice watch but not something that will make me come back to watch certain parts or listen to certain songs.

I just finished watching my Littlest Pet Shop DVD collection. I'm hoping that the Best Pet Friends DVD won't be the last one, 'cause I don't wanna end my LPS DVD collection with "In The Loop" or I'll end up saying "Thanks, M. A. Larson". Anyway, back to ponies, I'm currently watching the Season 5 set then I'll be watching the Friendship Games, my binge watch continues into November. Too bad there isn't another Halloween-themed LPS DVD. Because if there was, it would have the episode "Littlest Pet Shop of Horrors". Season 7 concludes this weekend as it has Star Swirl the Bearded.

I'm almost done with my archive binge of MLP. I finished watching Season 6 on DVD. Next is the Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree, three more MLP DVDs, then Equestria Girls: Magical Movie Night, then the Equestria Girls Digital Series on Netflix starting November 17.

What even is Equestria Girls: Magical Movie Night and the digital series? I guess this is what happens when I stay away from Equestria Daily too long.
