Unpopular opinion time

@TexasUberAlles  
aww i was hoping we’d get more twist.

@TexasUberAlles  
A lot.

@TexasUberAlles  
It’s too bad Twist is gone. I liked her. Any chance they could bring her back with a different VA? Or would that cause too much drama? (thinking of Derpy and Lyra’s change in VA’s)

@Kirb  
I think as long the lisp is intact, it would be minimal.

I don’t think a change in Twist’s VA would be the source of any major fandom drama; I’ve been wanting it to happen for a while.
 
They keep using her repeatedly in CMC-centric episodes, but it’s noticeably odd that she doesn’t get any lines.
 
 
@Kirb  
You mean Bon Bon’s voice? I don’t think the constant changes caused any drama, it’s just that people noticed it was different every time she spoke.

I’d like it if we got a CMC episode where Twist played a role.

I would have liked the umbrum to be more like what the tantabus was.
 
Living constructs of pure dark magic that function more or less like ghosts.

@PonyPon
 
Isn’t that exactly what they were? I thought it was one of, if not the only good thing to come out of that abysmal arc.

@Poison Trail  
I kinda can’t remember.
 
or even place what their powers exactly were beyond regular magical stuff.
 
I always thought they would be like, well, Sombra without a body.

@PonyPon
 
Maybe the Umbrum are the Crystal Ponies manifested fears or something? As long as they take the retarded ‘I created them intentional card out’unless they did them for good reasons.

@Jades  
Would make sense, as I do recall them changing the shapes of things to make them scarier.
 
Just like the tantabus….
 
See, I always thought there was some connection between Sombra and Luna, and this only strengthens it.
 
Also, What happened to Sombra’s Mom, out in the waste?

@PonyPon
 
Thought they trapped her back under the Crystal Empire unless you’re talking about that crystal.

@Jades  
I do mean the crystal.

@PonyPon
 
I thought Rabia was his mother’s and the Crystal was just a communicating device/portal.

@Jades
 
They made it clear that the crystal itself was not literally his mother, but the voice on the other side was (or at least was claiming to be his mother).
 
I don’t think it’s 100% certain it was Rabia talking to Sombra, but considering that she’s the one to greet Hope upon her return and that she seems to be the Umbrum in charge, I think it’s safe to assume it was Rabia.

@dynamicv  
So Sombra has a sister?

@PonyPon
 
I guess that would mean that Ira is indeed his biological sister or half-sister (we don’t know about their dads, or if Umbrum even have dads).

Hey check out this recent POLL EqD is running on the fandom’s opinions on ‘saucy’ images
 
It seems the majority of the fandom are alright and even love those slightly naughty bits in the Drawfriend section.

@TexasUberAlles  
Tex, ol’ sport. We’ve had this discussion before. When do I actually read your posts?

The State of Brony Music, Its History, Its Place on Equestria Daily, and How You Can Help!
 
I personally think much of it has to do besides the general burnout, is the lack of originality that has been plaguing Brony music for awhile now. There’s too many Dubstep, remixes, and trance etc pseudo-music material. While there is a distinct lack of genres such as Rock, Metal, Orchestral, Jazz, and classical whatever.

@SeraphimDawn  
i will be very happy by just letting it die, thank you very much

@ghostfacekiller39  
You’d have to kill the fandom first

@SeraphimDawn  

 
THIS.  
MUST.  
BE.  
CORRECTED.

@ToskiHero  
We have too many same old pseudo-music such as dubstep. Don’t get me wrong, there were good ones too mainly early on. What happened to Eurobeat in this fandom? Those were literally some of the best shit this fandom has ever produced back in the day.

@SeraphimDawn  
I cannot agree more on this. The music I have heard out of the fandom is awful lately. Very lazy with no variety, and what makes it worse is that most of it recycles techno so much that it makes you wonder what it has to do with ponies at all. Sometimes they use audio from episodes of the show, but that’s like putting a Star Wars sticker on a Mario Bros. cartridge in an attempt to make it a Star Wars game. It’s still going to be Mario Bros, it just has an irrelevant Star Wars sticker on it.
 
Even if the techno-dubsteppy whatever music is good, it’s really hard to appreciate it knowing what it’s trying to be. I can’t find myself enjoying it. Sometimes I do, like with a video called Pie Family Acid, which has legitimately good instrumentals. But it still has nothing to do with MLP other than the fact it says the names of the Pies (but not the parents for some reason). I wish we had more Pink Side of the Moons or I Am Octavias around here.
 
Until then, I will nearly always resort to just listening to the original music of the show, which shines through with its diversity and- well, originality.
