So, RDN, I ask you - Is (your least favorite pony) *really* as bad as Scrappy Doo?

@scribus no
-
@scribus Why do you ask? :o
-
@scribus Never! FiM has yet to produce a Scrappy of any kind (thank Celestia)
-
@pinhooves It was Lore Sjoberg's rule of thumb for his "Book of Ratings" back on Brunching.com.
-
@scribus No, Scrappy is WAY worse than Trixie
-
@tenmihara And how!
-
@scribus Either it's Google Chrome, or that link doesn't work.
-
@tenmihara Oh Luna, you're so right on that.
-
@pinhooves Nah, the site's gone offline some time ago. Didn't realize it would become a link as I typed it.
-
@tenmihara Word. XD
-
@tenmihara Last thing we need is some Hanna Barbera related thing like Scrappy. (Although I have nothing against their shows)
-
@scribus I was a little worried when Pipsqueak came in on Luna Eclipsed, but he has yet to butt in where not wanted. As a result, he was cute ^^
-
@scribus I don't think Diamond tiara (least favourite background) or Fluttershy (least favourite mane 6) are either as bad as Scrappy Doo.
-
@nerthos Tiara and Spoon were meant to be disliked, so there's no real problems with them as characters. Scrappy was an annoying kiwi who kept barging in when not wanted and upset the dynamic of the group

@tenmihara Ever heard of the !pipsqueakfans group? :3
-
@tenmihara I'm still wondering why they didn't just use an existing little little pony, but I don't disagree with Pipsqueak existing... Wonder if we'll ever see any more semi-Earthly ponies?
-
@pinhooves ewww
-
@tenmihara Exactly.
-
@nerthos Pretty hard to suck that hard, isn't it? :p
-
@carcino WHAT!? How could you not like the little guy? D:
-
@scribus Yeah. Still, In action movies with kids, they're usually as bananas as Scrappy. An example is the girl from the last War of the Worlds film.
-
@scribus I think they brought in Pipsqueak largely to serve as an exposition bringer. Since it was his first Nightmare night, he could ask the rest of the cast about it without it being forced.
-
@pinhooves I wish Luna stomped his annoying papayas into paste when she had the chance.

@pinhooves My friend had this opinion: British Pony = Automatic Win XD
-
@nerthos The aliens in that movie scared me kiwiless. Granted I saw it when I was like 12 XD
-
@tenmihara I liked them, but I wanted them to erase all the worthless masses of felons and idiots from the face of the earth, not just die without doing anything.
-
@nerthos According to the ending narration (which was also the end of the book), a billion humans were killed before the aliens died.
-
@tenmihara But I expected the crowds of thieves to be erased in screen. Altough it's the fault of the "hero" for not running over them with his car.
-
@tenmihara And the girl SURVIVED. She deserved to be beheaded with an axe made of cactus.
-
@nerthos *shrug* I still enjoyed the movie; Wells has always been my favourite classic Sci-Fi writer
-
@nerthos Didn't bother to see that one.
-
@tenmihara Yeah, asides from the girl surviving, it was a pretty cool movie.
-
@tenmihara That does make sense. Still, not to sound pony-racist, but he really stands out for me because of his Earthly coloring. :p Also, only non-solid Equestrian thus far.
-
@scribus You should. It's a good movie, just don't expect "heros".
-
@nerthos Speaking of cool stuff; new ponies tomorrow =D
-
@nerthos I don't mind a hero-less movie. Dug "Oldboy" and "Bad Guy." In fact, South Korea seems to be the next country whose cinema will catch on and become over-imported until we get all the crap with the good. Y'know, like anime. :p
-
@tenmihara YEAH. And on monday they start airing it on TV here.
-
@scribus Yes, it was a bit of a contrast to the normally pastel cast. The spots were nifty; although I have no idea if real ponies/horses can have spotted coats
-
@scribus Yeah, but there's no hero, no badass, no anti-hero, nothing. Just weak idiots. The only "badass" gets killed after being portrayed as "the bad guy"
-
@nerthos Whoo!
-
@tenmihara They can. Not sure what they call it, but it happens.
-
@nerthos Hmm... That sounds like a different kind of different.
-
@tenmihara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=attYBz_9F88 It's a shame it's airing in THAT channel. It's infamous for being for retardeds more than for kids.
-
@nerthos Oh, and ignore the mexican guy.
-
@nerthos Or whatever he is.
-
@scribus Nifty
-
@scribus Yup. The son of the protagonist is not a complete idiot, he's a little too patriotic, but he's a good guy. So he gets portrayed as an idiot. Just ignore the main cast.
-
@nerthos bugger D=
-
@tenmihara After being used to see it in english without subtitles, it feels so weird xD
-
@nerthos I'll probably be shouting phrases from the original show half of the time, though.
-
@nerthos That's not necessarily a good piece of advice. XD
-
@scribus Yeah, but it's the truth xD It's what happens when you try to make them "too human"
-
@scribus The key is giving them some flaws and some strenghts. Not just flaws.
-
@nerthos Oh, what if I only want to give them strengths!? :D
-
@scribus People could think it's a mary sue if you do it wrong. But if you're good writing, it can work.
-
@scribus An example is Xellos in Slayers. He has no evident flaws, but he's still awesome and everypony loves him.
-
@nerthos Never got around to that one.
-
@scribus The first season is from 1995. It's just plain awesome, every season. It's basically a joke about tabletop rpg's that becomes a great story in itself.
-
@nerthos It was on the list, before I fell out of anime. Also never got around to Reyearth. Finished NG:E though. Over, like, 6 years. . . <.<
-
@scribus It's a classic, one of those who everyone likes, even if they ussually don't see anime.
-
@nerthos Maybe one day. Maybe one day. . .
