    1. @pony Ew people. And that totally is hers.

    2. @pony I don't think this will kill the whole Brony thing. It would be disappointing that they wasted a movie on it, but I don't see this killing my personal enjoyment of the show and some of the fandom's creations. I mean, this is my reaction and I'm curious about what you think about it

      1. @crusader8 @yodelerty I'm just worried it might mean no more ponies or no more cuddly marshmallow hooves in a future series. As long as it's a movie only I think I'm actually ok with it

        1. @pony I completely agree.

    3. @pony I like that when I posted this it was immediately dismissed as fake and troll, but when you post it people actually look at it.

      1. @ceruleanspark lol* The group I found it in on FB is convinced it's fake.

        1. @pony As are /mlp/ and various other factions. The general consensus is that this is the "New secondary IP" using the new Equestria Girls trademark that hasbro were talking about in that presentation (The "things change, but friendships remain magical") one. From the one image that everyone has, it looks like its positioned as Hasbro's answer to Monster High.

          1. @ceruleanspark Monster High? Send in the ultraponies. http://ur1.ca/cry1j

          2. @ceruleanspark Yep. The dots are connecting. If it takes resources away from actual ponies, that's where I'm going to start cringing.

            1. @pony It is, by all accounts, a completely separate IP for a totally separate target market. Hasbro has literally billions of dollars, so the only reason it'd take resources from the core IP (Which the NYC toy fair illustrates that Hasbro is extremely commited to) is if Hasbro themselves saw reason to do so.

              1. @ceruleanspark It can me a spinoff series for all I care then x3

                1. @pony Looking at the other sudden changes they've made to their other toylines, it seems like Hasbro has only just realised that girls between the age of 11 and 15 exist and they don't magically go from "Child" to "Adult outside of marketing range" overnight.

                  1. @ceruleanspark Maybe there's hope for them.. maybe

      2. @ceruleanspark I missed it when you posted it. You're one of the more reliable guys around here, but you have kind of a reputation for joking about brony paranoia.

        1. @nerthos I freely admit that I posted it alongside a gif of Ron Paul ushering in the apocolypse

          1. @ceruleanspark Well, there you have your answer xD

            1. @yodelerty That's the one.

    4. @pony Heh. It's a movie, not part of the show. I'm totally OK with it.

      Monday, 11-Feb-13 07:09:39 UTC from web
      1. @nerthos I wouldn't mind if it fit into the show canon even, as long as it's temporary. xP I'd think it might even reinvigorate the fan community
