    Seriously though, am I wrong for being upset that this was officially sanctioned by Hasbro, while Fighting as Magic and other things get taken down?

      @rarity I think it's probably justified but I'll need to watch the episode to be sure.

          @rarity Just went and checked some of your previous posts- you don't like it because you felt it ripped of Billy and Mandy? Crossovers are extremely common.

            @decibelle It's not just that. The animation, writing, and voice acting were all mediocre at best.

                @decibelle IF it was just a regular fan made thing, I could ignore it like I ignore all the other crap this fandom spews out. But it was officially sanctioned by Hasbro. RIGHT AFTER they killed Fighting is Magic. It's just disgusting.

                  @rarity Ah. Well, as much as I was sad about Mane6 getting C&D'd, It's understandable from their perspective. Their lovable ponies being so violent with each other isn't something they'd want.

      @widget I'm not saying they should have killed it. I'm saying that Hasbro is incredibly stupid.

        @rarity I'm also saying that the people who made it are also not NEARLY talented enough to deserve this kind of attention, while talented people have their projects killed.

          @rarity Well, (and don't take this as me trying to defend that decision but) I can see where they're coming from with that. Their cute little girls' toy mascots beating each other into a bloody pulp on something with mainstream recognition probably sent off red flags in the legal department. It's still a shame it happened, though.

              @nerthos It won't really be the same. Anyway Mane 6 has Lauren Faust and Mike Z helping them out so I suppose their game will still be amazing. It just won't be Fighting is Magic.

            @redenchilada I'd explain how what happens in Double Rainboom kind of ruins that excuse, but I don't know if you want it spoiled.

                    @decibelle those episodes of PPG aren't associated with MLP or Hasbro. What I'm saying is, the association of the violence of PPG with MLP is proof that you can't just say "well Hasbro only allowed this over Fighting is Magic because it's not against the morals of the show"

                  @rarity *shrug* I dunno. The legal guys at Hasbro probably didn't see the final product before release. It might be funny if they got into trouble for that.

                      @rarity When you think about it, is what the Double Rainboom crew did really any different from what I or or HotDiggedyDemon do? At the end of the day, we're all making fan works of a show we like. And if it's mediocre, it's mediocre. They certainly did better than me.

      @widget the fact that it was choppy. Zeldatra said it runs at about 12 fps. plus they kind of made stupid faces the whole time, that didn't fit what was going on.

    7. Rarity Rarity

      @widget They bit off more than they could chew. If it wasn't in the style of the show, then whatever. But Double Rainboom is an insult to all the hard work that everyone who worked on the ACTUAL show put in.

            @rarity This sounds exactly like the complaining I was doing to a project a few years back. Looking back on that, I was being completely ridiculous. (I mean, I still don't like it, but I'm saying I was acting ridiculous about my dislike of it back then.)

        @rarity I think I see the problem. You're upset over Fighting is Magic's C&D, so you're condemning this work because it wasn't crafted by god himself and Hasbro gave it permission to exist.
