Is this another pandering episode? Do little girls even

yes
no

It'll just be another Discord meme episode. My only gripe with it is that the only member of the party who's magical isn't the wizard.

When Day becomes Night and the Six come together
When chaos reigns and friends are spilt apart
When the Queen becomes a Princess, unseen, yet seen
When the Kingdom of Crystal returns, and so does it's Shadow King
When the last Pony standing fights the Devil himself at the End of the World
The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last DragonEeyup.

>Pandering episode
No BG ponies. More of an intro to DnD. Just because little girls don't know about it doesn't mean they can't make a board game episode.

children will probably swallow anything with enough colour to hold their attention while bronies need maymays

if you have to ask, its not. in fact theres only been one pandering episode and that was the 100th one, and id actually consider it more of a fun love letter to the fandom.

not to mention theyre currently working on an official pen and paper game very similar to D&D for the pony universe. even ignoring all of that D&D has been enjoyed by all for a long time. my first group actually had more girls than boys.

FUS RO DAHH XDDDD

My only gripe with this is that it's Big Mac instead of Shining. Shiny is the one who played DnD in the comics (inb4 anyone gives me shit about reading those) and it would have been cute to see him get some guy time away from the palace and the baby. Plus Mac ain't got time for this he runs the farm all damn day with AJ, takes care of Applebloom, and sings in that a cappella group.

>and sings in that a cappella group
thats not exactly a regular and full time thing.

>>27982158
You read the comics? Ha, you have good taste and I really enjoyed the ones I read so far

I'm disappointed for the episode seems to be taking place in the board game when Equestria is already kind of a RPG fantasy world and this season's theme is supposed to be "Explore Equestria"

>>27982213
>board game
theyre going into the equestria table map from what i could tell. also going around in real equestria and killing things wouldnt really fit the theme of the show.

>>27982158
Right? Shining Armor is a super dork semi-canonly. Though being a prince and a young father in a far away kingdom kinda makes it so that you're not available for every throw away joke. Especially when there's other stallions at hand explicitly designed to fit that role.

>>27982242
He needs the screentime though. We've seen less of him and enough of Big Mac.

>>27982247
shining had the 2 parter premiere, mac hasnt been in any episodes of s6 so far that i can recall, especially not in a significant way.

>>27982259
He had his own episode with Applebloom last season.

Shining's episodes are either usually with Cadence or Twilight, and he's not the focus in either episode as much as his wife and sister.

>>27982156
>>27982130
>there's a d4, d6 and d8 in the picture

>>27982265
that was his only episode in the series. shining has had a more significant role more often than mac. he usually has 1-2 lines of "eeyup" and thats his entire role.
even if shining was in this episode he wouldnt be the focus.

I didn't say I want them to go hunting,
I just thought they're capable to go on an adventure in real life for show's theme matched reasons and show us new locations of Equestria.

Right.

I just wish they'd have a few of the mane 6 play instead of making it some niche thing a couple of secondary characters are into. Would have happened under Lauren cause she'd want to push "girls can /tg/ too."

You can't just go with an axe to kill random creatures in equestria. Nobody would like that and probably they don't want to get hurts

People older than 40.
Majority of people who doesn't watch cartoons or play RPGs.

>>27985725
back when D&D first started, one of the first books had a giant demon (devil) on it holding a nude woman on the cover
there were many reports of how "satanic" and "evil" the game was and there was even a movie called "Mazes and Monsters" (young Tom Hanks) which made people think that plenty of players can't differentiate between fantasy and reality

It's not a definition of pandering just because it has DND. No one wanted or expected it from both demographics.

SC, WoW, Overwatch, Diablo. Just some random ones that popped into my head.

If this episode was truly hated only by me then you wouldn't be triggered this much, in fact you wouldn't even care to reply. Yet you did, because deep inside you know that I represent a bigger group of people.
This is clearly a controversial episode if you disagree to that then you're a complete idiot. And if something's controversial it's only natural that opposite opinions are formed.
People who love the episode are okay. People who hate it are okay, too. People who call each other autists and argue over nothing are trash. You try to divide our already waning community. Die.
