I almost forgot lil'pip was a female. Why does this remind me if Veronica being a lesb?

[ObserverStatus]

Am I the only one that thinks lil'pip likes velvet in a um... close way?

Well you see, the thing to remember about Lilpip is

Spoiler

she wants Velvet's sweet gamgams.

Why do you think she left Stable 2 in the first place?

[Derpy]

Well it seemed apparent fron the start but chapter 14-15 kinda made it really noticable.

[ObserverStatus]

You close to chapter 17? Chapters 17 and 34 are my favorites

[Derpy]

Just got to the DJ Pon3 part which the name strangly reminds me of Deadmau5.

[ObserverStatus]

I think it's supposed to remind me you of 3dog

[Derpy]

And now Lil'pip is a drug addict. I always ignore drugs in Fallout as I don't ever want to get addicted to them. That doesn't stop me from spamming the crap out of Stimpacks, Radaway and Sunset Sarsaparilla as you can't get addicted to them.

[ObserverStatus]

It's a pity you can't get addicted to nuka cola in Bethesda's Fallout games.

[Derpy]

By logic, I should be madly addicted to Sunset Sasperilla as I probably drank it a few hundred times.

[Dominus]

New preview, and it does have maud pie it in. Link

A few hundred? Sounds like you're addicted to them after all.

@Nate: Yep, White Body and Blue Mane. Clearly an Homage to Modern DJs.

Everytime I find some, I grab it and drink it after firefights to heal and get star bottle caps.

Because my menory of some of the episides is bad, I am guessing Vinyl Scratch is that blue dj pony with the glasses?

[Gravisanimi]

Correct, Vinyl Scratch, aka DJ PON3, image in the spoiler if you need a refresher

(I just have a map of all of the star bottlecaps)

[Derpy]

I used to think DJ pon3 was a guy and then he looked like a she and now she looks like a he.

[Gravisanimi]

I used to be the same for Scootaloo.

 

The muzzle is a good indicator for the gender, if it's squared, male, if it is rounded and is a little more upturned, female.

 

But trust me Vinyl is female.

YEEEEEESSSSSSS, favorite Pie already.

[Derpy]

Skootaloo is a wannabe IMHO.

Yo! I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want...

Well I have noticed that all the characters personalities are stereotype chick ones. Kinda like how TS is a nerd and Fluttershy is real shy.

This still applies to the kids as they are typical kids getting themselves into trouble constantly.

The personality types aren't exclusive to women, but yes, I've mentioned way back that the archetypes aren't particularly deep. The episodes have explored different sides of said personality(Paranoia, Perfectionism, etc.) but they aren't as 3-Dimensional or Hyper-Realistic as some other televized shows(Breaking Bad, Dexter, GoT) The good news is that Hasbro's dev team is aware of this and has been trying to improve on this. Sometimes successful, and sometimes they get hit with the dumb stick.

Maud Pie Review:

Spoiler

Love the "storyboarding" section, a good way to show the audience her blurred vision of the past. That hat is ridiculous... I really like the introduction to Maud Pie. They use pretty much every possible way to make her a conflicting character against the rest. Let's face facts: Everyone in ponyville is too bloody cheery and happy. At least for Season 4, they've often had to outsource to other places(i.e. Manehattan) to bring in someone discordant against their personalities. They can't rely on Diamond Tiara/Silver Spoon forever. Using Pinkie's relatively darker past to haunt her is a good way to throw a narrative wrench into MLP. Rule of Pixar Storytelling:
 

#6: What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?

Her voice seems based on Tara Strong's work as Raven - that can't be coincidence. Trying the One-On-One is a good way to cement Maud's Non-Conformist Goth-y style. Going with the same "I like rocks" thing gets a bit tedious after a while through those scenes, but fortunately it doesn't drag forever. The other Mane 5 are put in a fairly uncomfortable position, and giving bad news to Pinkie Pie has always been tough. You can tell the pinkamena is at least coming out a little. Instead of going nuts(again), the taste of desperation drives her to create the ridiculous obstacle course, which spurns maud to save her when it comes crumbling down. Despite all that, the theme is great(love of someone is the best/only way they can bond). Almost starts out like A Friend In Deed, now that I think about it.

The new character is welcomed, and it's got some great laughs too. My complaints would be that would've been a lot more interesting to throw in some sort of warping of pinkie's past meeting with reality. A flashback or something similar, maybe. Having said all this, I'd put it in the 8-8.5 range. Definitely one of the better ones and my gripes are vastly minimal compared to the last few(or more...) being chucked out.

So yep, I liked it a good deal.

2 New episodes have popped up as confirmed:

Testing, Testing, 1 2 3
Rainbow Dash uses unconventional methods to prepare for her test to become a member of the Wonderbolts Reserves.

Trade Ya
When the trip to the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange doesn't go as planned, the girls learn just how valuable their friendship really is.

Psh, I pointed that out like 4 pages ago. I've seen like 6 episodes of that show and I pretty much immediately identified them as stereotype representations. You got:
Nerd girl
Shy girl
Southern farm girl
Fashionista girl
Tomboyish girl
and Manic Pixie Dream-ish girl Link for those who don't know what that is.

The little dragon is the token other race character.

 

Also, I'm curious... an Internet critic by the name of the Nostalgia Critic went on a bit of a rant once where he complained about how cartoon shows and the like tend to have princesses in their lands, but no real top of the pyramid leaders like kings/queens. That seems to be true of MLP from the little I know about it. Is it? If so, I wonder why that is... Did they choose to ignore kings/queens because princesses are "cuter" and are a bit more free of responsibilities? [/philosophical question]

[Derpy]

I always saw them as extream versions of 1 personality. I mean they go from southern to priccy to crazy random to acting like a guy.

I mean even the side characters have this like with derpy being a typical clumbsy, clueless person. I never really understood the popularity for derpy as she is only in 1 episode for 2 minutes.

[Dominus]

And you're right. As elements of harmony, the mane 6 are very polarizing versions of those particular traits. To this effect, a lot of the conflict for the Mane 6 is built around the ill effects of those traits. Being too funny can be overwhelming and annoying, being too kind can turn you into a doormat, etc. Derpy is the easter egg of the show - wasn't mean to be deep so they get a Get-Out-Of-Writers-Jail free Card on that one.
 

If so, I wonder why that is... Did they choose to ignore kings/queens because princesses are "cuter" and are a bit more free of responsibilities?

Could be. There's a classic nature for either description(Disney or Otherwise). As far as MLP is concerned, having multiple queens likely sounded too overbearing for Faust and the rest of the team, opting for Princesses instead.

And on that note, heading to sleep. Good night, everybody.

I hate to say it, but when Maud Pie ran off with Rarity's dish towel, I couldn't help thinking "Wow, Maud Pie is the worst pony ever."

[darth_lopez]

Muad Pie is best Pony, also a great and Powerful jedi.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Maud Pie is fist of the north star, she's a-okay with me.
