Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

Yunno, lately I’ve been thinking of different story opportunities for Scorpan! And he’s got enough potential content for a whole season story arc!
 

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
She’s clearly not, though.

@Background Pony #BAB2  
There was nothing in show canon saying that Twilight wouldn’t out live her friends.

@UserAccount  
Yeah, she isn’t, not really sure why he thinks Li’l Cheese is a colt.

If Li’l Cheese is a colt, then they have a weird way of showing it. Is he supposed to be trans then?

@Background Pony #8A54  
Or just very effeminate looking.

@Background Pony #8A54  
He wouldn’t be the first colt in the series to have a feminine muzzle. Just look at Rumble.

@RaineV1  
nobody’s gonna take about that pegasus from the second to final episode that looked like a filly then sounded like Jason Marsden? xD

@RaineV1  
It’s not just that, it’s the eyelashes! Eyelashes in cartoons means girl, right?

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
Bullcrap.

…see? exactly like i said. every piece of confirmed lore causes backlash xD
 
 
hence why Miller is going with the vague “why dont you decide what you want to hear?” answer.

@MrXemnas1992  
Well maybe he should let somebody else try.

@MrXemnas1992  
I’m less angry about it and more confused by his answer.

@MrXemnas1992  
But he’s just wrong. I think he needs to look at her character design again.

@PonyPon  
dude, doesn’t matter who gives the answer. people have proven that they aren’t going to be satisfied no matter what the answer is. there’s always going to be someone who gets mad and lash back at the show staff over it.
 
this fandom is so volatile right now that there’s a splinter group of fans who occupy a vocal minority where they are morally outraged by the finale, think it’s “dangerous for children”, and are generally acting like they’re the courageous rebels who dare to speak the truth against an oppressive regime & trying to “get the word out and change minds”
 
if i were show staff, i’d take one look at the crazies and be like “fuck it. i’m not going anywhere near that”

@Background Pony #8A54  
If you never watch The Amazing World of Gumball some of the male characters have eyelashes, but in My Little Pony the male characters do not have eyelashes at all. So this is unusual.

but they’re on twitter and have people pestering them for answers, so they have little choice in the matter.

…btw, anyone else notice the super-negative BP trolls who constantly complain and attack the show staff have returned to the site en masse?

@MrXemnas1992  
Not really.
 
There’s a good chance I’m ignoring them.

@MrXemnas1992  
What were they complaining about?

@Joshua  
the usual stock copy-pasta talking about how these specific writers [by name] have destroyed the show and everything it stood for and blah blah blah.
 
pic comments, random thread replies…they seem to have begun popping up in greater increasing frequency today.

@MrXemnas1992  
Were they talking about the finale, or season 9 in general?

@Joshua
 
Something, something… censorship? That’s one of the things I have seen, on the Pony Venting Thread. I think it died down though.
 
Also, what Xemnas said

@AC97  
the most amusing part is that those voicing those complaints about how “this show used to be great until these specific writers destroyed it and Twilight’s Kingdom was the episode that killed the show and blah blah blah” have accounts here less than a year or two old.
 
and I’m sitting over here with my seven year old account wondering why the hell this new-guard is talking like they’re the genwunners of this franchise. xD

@MrXemnas1992  
Guess they haven’t watched the show enough, have they?
