FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Fluttershy got lucky. If that dragon hadn't been so nice she would be fucking dead.
Pinkie pie thinks she has a pretty scarf.
bump for yellow quiet
I watched the FiW version of this episode so many times that it's like watching it again for first time.
>>25821962
Oh yeah, one of the first FiWs, those were fun. Some fun YTPs as well.
I remember this episode mostly for its funny smirks and unusual expressions.
One last bump before bed

Needs more dragons.
Dragonshy I've felt has a great intro with the montage, bland second act that just repeats Fluttershy is shy (and holy shit she almost murdered all of them due to causing the avalanche), and then it gets better once the actual dragon shows up. But honestly, I think there is at least one too many examples showing us that Fluttershy is scared, it takes too much time out of the episode.
Fluttershy sure has gotten a lot less fearful since the beginning of the series. It's been a subtle, gradual change, but it's undeniable when you look back and see what she was like in season 1 compared to now.

Meta as fuck.
Man, you almost pity the dragon in this episode. Good Fluttershy ep though.

The shorter episode version was way cuter too

>Written by Meghan McCarthy (her first episode).
I feel like this is worthy of discussion but I can't really think of anything to say about it
>>25820066
This episode was originally going to feature Fluttershy's friends being thrown down the mountain, "seemingly lifeless".
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they did something like that now.
>>25825649
Explain
>>25824723
She was nice until Season 3 she had turn into the dark side and she's the worst show writer in this show and she musts be fired!
>>25825704
Remember all those leaks of the original show bible a few months ago?
That was mentioned in one of them.
>>25820066
Do you fags watch the ep's together or..what, how the fuck does this work.
>>25825962
No, you just watch it on your own and discuss it in the thread.
>>25825933
But what exactly does it mean? Or was it just written like this?
>>25826073
It was written similarly to the episode, but with more drama.
>>25825989
Seems like it doesn't lead to active discussion
>>25826826
it depends. Lastest threads got over 60 or 70 posts.
Anyways I will see how we could stream the episodes or whatever. The main problem is that my connection is not that good and I don't think I could stream. We could just use synchtube but there are almost no episodes left on youtube. Maybe if we found another similar service for Dailymotion..
>>25827440
I'm testing another website which might work. Can someone get in here? Maybe we can use this to watch the episodes together.

>>25827495
ignore that one, try this one. I'm watching Dragonshy. If it works nicely we can use it for the next episode.
https://www.watch2gether.com/rooms/slashmlprewatches-obrld06woymqj2cc
Looks like it works perfectly. For next thread we will try to watch the episode via Watch2gether. I will post the thread at around 11:30am EST and around half an hour later we will start the stream.
>>25827440
seems r/mlpanniversary was interested to streaming the episode to everyone watch in the same time.
But i'm not sure if this is a good idea. /mlp/ don't seems to be in mood to watch this together or someting.
This adventure episode felt more like a slice of life mixture.
>>25827614
I'd love to watch it, but sadly I am busy at that time.
>>25828125
I would do it later but I will be busy later than that. For next weekend will do it later, maybe around 15 EST.

Which soiled FIM as nothing but a poorly made children's show which can't even sell toys correctly. Why was there no dragon toy? Why was there no singing pinkie pie figurine toy?
This episode shown either Faust or Mccarthy at being incompetent at writing.
Fluttershy was a filler. The action, execution and mountain's dangers never came properly into light.
They kept ragging oj about how it's cold, dangerous and they won't reach it until midnight.
Surprise: there was no snow, no real cold, no night and the dragon was a wuss.
Nevertheless. It was cute, quirky, prioritized characters over story. Much better than season 2,3,4,5's autism of parody, irony, bullshit cringe.
Which isn't much of aj accomplishment. Ducktales had much better adventure plots and executions with real danger in them.
>>25827440
Any archive of sorts for the last threads?
>>25828153
If you trow bland statements with little to no argumentation like this, you might seem just a teeny-tiny bit bitter, Anon.
But feel free to do however you like, I quess.
>>25828213
He provided enough argumentation in my opinion.
Have a mish-mashed commentary on the episode.
OP here again, I don't know if someone is still in this thread but I won't be able to make the thread for today for (episode 8) because I will be out. Can someone else make it please? As usual, at around 11:30EST with the links and stuff like on the OP post.
>>25828915
Sure thing, I can whip something up in about an hour.
>>25829005
thanks m8. I trust in you
