I now realize my dick is just like spike. Considered a baby and will live forever without any pussy.

>>30878986
>Big Jim abides by canon
>but only because "it's in other fantasy"
Not sure how to feel about this.

>>30878986
>fantasy novels.
Like Game of Thrones?

>>30879080
By fantasy novels he means Eragon, Game of Thrones, and lots of cartoons about knights and dragons

>>30879068
This.
Only the most deluded thought otherwise.

>>30878986
Does that mean he gets dicked by Thorax?

>>30878986
Yeah but only as far as dragons are concerned. Ponies don't live up to 1000 years, so to them he should be older.

>>30878986
But Spike hasn't been called "baby dragon" since the pilot. And the pony who called him that later admitted she didn't know squat about dragons.

>>30879068
Spikefags made people think he has a chance with Ember or Starlight

>>30879212
7 year old boy whi act smarter than other dragons is still not old or developed enough for romance. This is why he is getting cucked officially in the movie.

>>30879068
retards like this who will use any headcanon to defend him being an adult
>>30879236

>>30879073
This is concerning. They only abide by canon by chance? Not because they actually care

>>30879289
Not a single head of the storywriting knows whats the deal with Spike yet. None of them know what's the backstory of either Spike or Discord. They keep making shit up as they write new season.
Thats why there are tons of inconsitencies.

>>30879323
I guess I don't really care all that much anyway, the only true canon season is season 1 and some parts of season 2.
I haven't even seen any of season 7.

>>30879355
>skipping season
>still being on a board dedicated to it
fuck off

>>30879323
This, sometimes he's like an annoying 10 year old that needs adult supervision, but other times he's responsible enough to do things on his own and is even the voice of reason

>>30878986
There is no "technically" here. Even if a species lives for thousands of years, that says nothing about how many of those years are spent reaching maturation.

Spike being canonically a little kid makes his choices of friends feel really weird. We have Big Mac, an adult, Discord, an adult, Glimmer, an adult, Ember, a teenager and Thorax who is probably an adult but might still count as a teenager considering what his pony form looked like.

Why doesn't spike get along with children his own age?

>>30879558
He was raised by Twilight, and by the time he grew up, Twilight was already an adult.

>>30878986

Jim already told that he don't have any control in the writer staff. You should ask to the story editor or writers to know their opinion

>>30879558
>Ember
>A teenager

If we take the whole 'dragon's live thousands of years' thing, Ember is one of the oldest characters in the show. She's probably a solid 500 years old.

>>30879558

Spike's one of those kids who relates better to adults than kids his age. I was like that when I was a kid.

>>30879558
>Why doesn't spike get along with children his own age?
Cause there aren't any.

>>30878986
> Jim isn't a director

OP, just stop, OK? Stop giving attention to Jim if he bothers you so much.

>>30879558
it's a slave

>>30879604
What position do you think Jim holds?

>>30879637
he's holding the obligatory fat ugly nu-male beta cuck ruining everything position

>>30879637
Co director, and someone who can't write anything anymore?

>>30879645
So he is a director, and was never a writer.

>>30879645
Jim never wrote anything for the show ever because the writing is done in Los Angeles and he lives in Canada

>>30879654
He did before the show writing was unionized.

>>30879650
For animation. He's an artist, not a writer.

>>30879666
No. He's never been a writer on MLP. Full stop.

>>30879581
>Jim already told that he don't have any control in the writer staff.
You know, I always wondered... if Miller has so little importance among DHX's staff then why is he acting so smug and proud all the time?

Proud of what, exactly? What's his personal contribution to FiM and why he thinks it's so important at the point of thinking it makes him a celebrity?

>>30879674
Princess Spike says otherwise.

>>30879674
He gave some story ideas in S5, before a union membership in a US writers union was a requirement.

Ember is probably like 40 or something in pony years but a young teen in dragon years

>>30879686
He's the one who answers all the questions. Denny Lu and Mike Myhre don't.

>>30879722
> Jim answers questions

Yeah, and 99% of his answers are either "I don't know" or "I can't answer to that because of my contract" .
Not worth all the attention given to him, especially when he believes that the fandom is now his personal, free therapist.

>>30879734
He offers to, I guess? People should ask Mike more.

>>30879741
Jim only offers to answer questions because he likes the attention, plain and simple.
You will notice he always dodges the "difficult" questions and only cherrypicks the ones that can gve him some more self validation using other people's work, so I don't know why is everyone still asking crap to him.

>>30879763
Especially when his role is minor. His opinion here is about as relevant as any given anon.

>>30879768
If you praise him, his role is somehow gigantic, but if you criticrize anything, his role immediately becomes minimal so it wasn't his fault at all.
That or he will say that he thinks you are 100% wrong and the show is 101% awesome, than he will stick to that with tooth and nail because "it's his opinion" and that's the end of the discussion.

From his tweets one can easily see he's a very frustrated old guy because of a lot of things like body issues, low self esteem, crippling insecurity, a conatant self validation need and has a skin thinner than a SJW's. So rather than trying to fill that void with internet attention, he should cut all of his links with twitter and simply look for some professional help to clean his head from all the shit he has been carring there for who knows how long. (At a point he openly said he used to cut himself.)

At least Jim is a decent artist.

>>30880355
Why is that Jim keeps refering to himself as a "director" instead of using the full term "Animation director?"

Is he really that desperate to make himself look more important than what he really is?

>>30880569
>why does this archeologist keeps referring to himself as a doctor?!
>can't he say he's an archeologist?!
No, because he's a fucking doctor, that's his title

Jim is a director specialized in animation, and this tweet >>30880293 doesn't call for him having to clarify that he's 'only' directing the animation
You're supposed to know that he's not the director but the animation director if you're following the guy on twitter
And if you don't you can just find it out in less than a minute with a google search

It's fucking twitter, not an auto biography

>>30880582

> shitting on the fans

Yeah, look. I don't believe Jim is a bad person, and neither I believe he's an incompetent moron as so many people says. The guy is clearly proud of his work (whatever it is) and it's clear he appreciates when the show is well received.

The problem is that Jim, as a person is just... awkward. It's very obvious he's really trying to connect with people who are 20, maybe 25 years younger than him, and to do that he really, REALLY tries to be funny as a way to break the ice, but the more he tries to be funny, the more he comes out as a guy who simply cannot be funny because he simply doesn't have that skill on him and he's so unwaware of his awkward, unfunny nature that he just keep trying over and over again.

Guys like Larson or Rudell can be complete assholes on Twitter and everyone laughs because they can tell right off the bat that they are just joking: they just have that ability. But Jim doesn't, so even when you can tell he's really trying his best to be funny or do some banter he simply fails at that and you can't help but feel unconfortable at seeing a 40-something old man embarrasing himself like that at a regular basis, just to try to impress or entertain people half of his age.

His twitter comments often bring up some deep insecurities and traumas coming from a very lonely, awkward and unpopular youth, so seeing him trying so hard to feel popular makes a lot of sense, but as I said, Jim is just so awkward that everything he does comes out just wrong.

Honestly, sometimes I wish he could accept and assume his awkwardness and leave Twitter. That place is like an addiction for him, and as we all know, all addictions are unhealthy.

>>30881158
Look, Jim is already fucked up enough as he is, you don't need to poke him to fuck him up some more.

Plus as I said, he's so unaware of his awkwardness and fucked up nature that he will react the way he always does, which is negating everything, playing the victim and then shutting down, so what's the point?

Nothing will change because Jim is already too old and damaged to change, even if by any chance he accepted he needs to change in the first place.

>>30881167
That hasn't been mentioned in five seasons and has been shown to not apply to all.

>>30881203
It hasn't been mentioned because the staff gave up on faust's original worldbuilding on favor of a cheaper, easier and generic...er? setting for the series, hence the bipedalism, modern world stuff, cars, princesses and Sol stuff.

Only people like Larson and AKR cared about the original worldbuilding and they are gone, so Spike's greed will never be used again.

>>30881199
Good. Maybe he'll freak the fuck out so hard Hasbro will fire him and we'll get Lauren (or Jayson) back.

>>30881230
Look if Hasbro didn't fire him when he told that asshole to go fuck himself then it's clear he will never get the boot no matter what he does.

Just don't give him attention and that's it. Plus you already know that whenever somebody says something he dislikes, his dumb followers will cover him with praises to heal his ego, so as I said, what's the point?

All what you will accomplish is keep feeding his victim complex and that's the least thing you would want from him.

>>30881038


OK then. So I think I can say that everyone during school, high school, college and then work had at least ONE class/workmate who was the local jokester, right?
No matter if they were fat, skinny, ugly or short, you always laughed at their quick one liners, perfectly timed puns or plain old jokes because they were THAT kind of people, the people with the ability to always find the right thing to say at the right moment to make you shit yourself with laughter no matter how tense the situation could have been.
It's not what they said or what they did, but rather HOW they said it and HOW they did it, and because of that they could be popular and accepted no matter if they were fat, short, ugly or skinny: their ability to lighten up the mood with jokes or banter made everyone able to see them for what they were beyond their loooks.

Jim is not that kind of person, and even if he tries to imitate what others do, or tell the same jokes, or resort to the same humor, it always will fall flat because he lacks the natural ability to do that, and rather to lighten up the mood, all what Jim accomplishes is making it heavier than before.
It makes so much sense that a man with zero points on his "be funny" and "self awareness" skill slots is the same man who thought that hitting Spike all the time was comedy gold,or that honeslty believed that an episode about ponies driving cars still was 100% faithful to Faust's original vision as he has been claiming to respect all along.

I think that just as all of us have met the funny guys I mentioned, we have also me people like Jim and the awkardness/heavyness they all drag with them.

I think he was trying to avoid a direct answer which I don't blame him but in some shows especially "Game of Thrones" some dragons age fast or normal then in adult years they stay young for a long time.

>>30882124
>I think he was trying to avoid a direct answer
Which can be avoided if Miller could stop saying "I'm bored, so ask me anything, guys" now and then, you know.

He KNOWS that many people will ask him difficult questions, so he is perfectly aware of what's going to happen whenever he asks people to pay attention to him. All of his Twitter problems and headaches are self inflicted and yet he never learns his lesson.

https://mobile.twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/905155725097189376?p=v

See? That's an example of Jim trying to be funny only to fail at it.
Kudos to him for trying, but he already should know that being funny is simply not for him.

>>30881225
Larson mentioned how he found Spike generic, AKR quickly said that he was the least favorite character of hers to write, and Faust gave us Owl's Well. Faust never had any plan for Spike, not even the original CMC-tier "Just get them out of the way ASAP" plan.

>>30882229
that was kind of funny tho

>>30882230
And yet they displayed more care and planning of their own that anyone else.

> B-but Gauntlet of Fire...

Yeah, and nothing at all came out of that oh-so-great status breaking episode.

>>30882247
Can't the same be said that nothing came out of RD being a Wonderbolt or Rarity getting boutiques, using that logic?

>>30882240
Dude, things are either funny or not funny. There's not such a thing like "kind of funny tho/kind of unfunny tho"

>>30882250
Rainbow Dash is a wonderbolt and she hasn't changed at all.
Rarity got her boutiques and nothing chnaged for her either.

The show is made out of nothing but pointless, hyped up build ups toward a payoff that never happen. Even little kids can spot that crap and feel rightfully pissed off when it happens.

>>30882288
So, you're saying that they should get rid of RD and rarity alltogether and only make them appear every few episodes since they're supposed to be working away from ponyville and shit

I'm sure the kids would love that
?

Why are you faggots still on the ride?
This isn't an adventure show and will never become one, it's a fucking SoL show with some stuff changing from time to time, like twiggy becoming a princess or glimmy becoming good, but the recipe will always stay the same

It's like you faggots expect the show to show the hardships of adulthood and leaving your friends behind because of your career and shit
Do you also want them to kill granny at some point? I mean, she's old right, it's got to happen at some point!
Just stop

>>30882338
No.
What I say is that if they are going to keep introducng things full of hype I expect them to at least made it impact on the characters in a visible way, like RD at least commenting she has drill practice with the wonderbolts or Rarity at least talking about her boutiques, etc. And that's all.

The rest is simply you trying to put words in my mouth to defend a series that lost it's soul ages ago.

>>30882338
OR OR just don't make terrible writing decisions? I don't recall anybody asking for RD to become a wonderbolt, but the newshit writers saw an easy idea and decided to go through with it

>>30882429
OR just don't give mediocre, pointless executions to ideas that could have been good.

RD's absence from certain episodes could have been chalked up as her having to divide her time among her friends, her weather patrol job (which just dissapered) and her training/aerial show with the Wonderbolts.

Rarity's boutiques could have been used as an excuse to write her off from certain episodes and I don't know, have episodes where Sweetie Belle is left on someone else's care to remind everyone that Rarity is away on a business trip to keep her 3 boutiques in check.

Same as with Spike and his "great" season 06 episodes that amounted to absolutely nothing as nobody ever brought up his dragon lord adventure, and his Changeling reformation deed was hijacked by Starlight despite his friendship with Thorax.

Finish what you start, that's what I ask to the staff. And frankly, that's what they are being paid to do in the first place.

You know the funny thing is I agree with some of this even as you clearly have something jacked up your anus when it comes to Spike, with the bizarre double standards and "can't give him anything" attitude.

I would say yes to using RD's and Rarity's new career as an excuse when needed to explain their absence and go a step forward. I don't think it's bad to have Rarity and Dash live mostly away from Ponyvile. They can still come back to town when the episode calls for it--in on an errand or show. Or have the others meet them at the next town. A Dash or Rarity episode doesn't have to feature the mane 6 and this allows other characters to be used as support: ex the Wonderbolts for Dash, Saddle or Coco for Rarity. It makes no sense to not show the changes their lives and not realistically have Rarity tend to her major stores in larger cities.

He may be a baby in dragon terms, but if Spike was actually 18 or 20 or w/e, even in his current form, he's still developed enough to have romance. That's not fair to him to say "nah you gotta wait another 100-300 years before you're mature by dragon terms." Now he'd be dumb to romance something he'll outlive by 1000 years easily, but he shouldn't be told he can't

We don't know that though. Dragons in the mlp world grow by greed; eat gems like candy, and, at least in Spike's case, have magic fire breath that can transport scrolls. It's clear that the lore isn't the same. And anyhow, it is odd to only consider dragon aging and forget that unicorn, pegesi, and mlp world alicorns have long life spams too.

I honestly feel like Jim is just a (possibly decent) guy who just spergs out on twitter, and just kind of loses all his thought when he responds to shit on twitter.

I'll be honest, I know that sometimes when people give me shit, whether its a friend or some dick in lecture or whatever, sometimes you say shit you don't necessarily mean just to make yourself right or to make yourself seem above the person giving you shit. I'd like to imagine not everyone here has been perfectly honest in conversation if it meant you were wrong or that you had to be humble. I think maybe we all learned from the show to be more honest and humble, but c'mon, we've all said she we didn't mean before just to make ourselves seem better.

I've seen him post stuff like "the show is meant for girls, not for you guys" and other shit that makes him seem like a real jackass when you look at it like that. Maybe you're right, maybe he is just a faggot who doesn't care about the show or really cares for any quality writing etc... But reading how he types doesn't make me think its that. It resembles more of a defensive strategy more than anything.

I don't know what his role even is, but what I think is going on is that he cares about the show, wants the writing to be good, and all that shit, but doesn't want the feeling of getting told off on twitter. So rather than say something like "YOU'RE CORRECT", he would say something like "Well it's not meant for you so your opinion does not invalidate mine". I don't think he's a dick. I just think he's someone who's trying too hard on the internet to the point where he says absolute horseshit in the attempts of seeming correct or above other people's criticisms

Personally I feel like Jim is doing his best, he really, really is, but his best is still not good enough and never will be.
He's simply not suited for the job, never was. Remember that back then during S01 and 02 Faust and Renzetti were in absolute control and so they kept everything flowing in perfect synch, so whatever Jim was doing back there was with these two holding his hand to keep everything nice and in order.

But when Faust and Renzetti left, the series's management became a fucking chaos, everyone tried to do things their own way, push for their own ideas, and no, the original directors weren't there anymore to hold everyone's hands and keep them from fucking up.

So without Faust and Renzetti around anymore, Jim's oversights and fuckups began to pile up, giving us gems like Princess Spike, where he cared more about adding his friends Andy and Katie in, and cares less about the story itself, with the results we all know.

For the record, I don't think he's useless, as he directed Ed, Edd n' Eddy and that series used to give me the usual chuckle now and then. But that series had no continuity, no characterization, no worldbuilding and the series itself only ran on characters being stupid, doing stupid things and never learning from their stupidity because they were, well, stupid.
For simple slapstick cartoons, Jim could do just fine. But for something complex like FiM, he's definitely not suited to handle neither the work, or the stress that comes with it and much less he's suited to handle the expectations the cartoon itself raised after it's initial success.

>he'll eventually forget about her or his memories of her will become so corrupted and hazy from centuries of neuron misfires that they'll be nothing like the actual events that happened
Being Spike is suffering.

he needs mental help
I wish Lauren came back

>>30878986
I know this is a really stupid argument, but Jim is actually agreeing with the guy's age estimation. He's only, for some reason, justifying the "baby" label. Spike has a crush on a mare, of course he's not an infant anymore, mentally, that is. Heck, the dude is organizing diplomatic meetings. It kills me that Spike hasn't experienced a growth spurt yet, because it makes his relation with Ember and his public appearance at large extremely awkward.

>>30885657
Surely, she's more experienced with "immortal blues". Secondly, she also had Luna for company.

>>30886371
>she had Luna for company
Anon...

>>30886352
Emotional and intellectual development are two different things here.

>It kills me that Spike hasn't experienced a growth spurt yet
It's even worse. They won't establish the whole deal with growing.
- Is growth through greed the only way? For him only?
- Rest of dragons behaves normal enough to say, they did not get through what Spike did.
- Perhaps Ember and rest are century older than him?
- Perhaps Spike has a birth defect and will never grow?
- The GoH comic issue with Fosshit art, showed that Spike grew to Spikezilla due to some old relic being enchanted on him by Twilight.

This shit is so vague and I will not apply here any head-canon.
Though, birth defect sounds interesting. Huge field for feels, depression spiral and character development.

>>30886395
I know what you getting at. But the show did not said, how long they did hang out together, BEFORE her banishment. It could another 1k of years or even longer.

You would say he's shit no matter what he would do. If he didn't make derpy scene you would say he's not even friendly enough with fandom to put her there, now if he did write her in then you blame him for pandering. Just shut up man. He isn't responsible for even 90% of shit that you are blaming him for. He is basically a janitor in DHX who happen to use twitter a lot. He has no real power, and after writing unificationm he has no more room to ever influence any episode.

if hes into D&D lore then he should also know most dragons are born about as intelligent or significantly more intelligent than your average human.

even barring that hes not treated like a baby, or even a little kid. how many times have the baby cakes or flurry been put in charge of royal events? how many times have the CMC? you look at their roles compared to spike and not even the staff treat him like the other babies or even kids for that matter. they write him like an adult but want to call him a baby. you cant have it both ways. (unless youre going by D&D lore in which case hes already as intelligent or more so than the average adult pony)

If Spike is a dragon and acts like a 8-11yo human, should we not assume that he's the age at which a dragon reaches that maturity?
If you have sex with a 6 year old mare, would you still be a pedophile, given that fillies reach sexual maturity at 1~1.5 years of age?

It's not that hard. You always measure in "human-equivalent" years. The mane 6 are 18-22 human years old, which would equates to 6-8 IRL horse years. (Horses live abt 25-30, humans about 80, so approx 1/3rd). So sex with a 6 year old mare is borderline, since that would be about 16-18 in human years.

But in equestria let's just assume times moves 3 times more slowly or whatever so equestria years = 1/3rd human years which makes everything nice and even and you can just say they're their human-equivalent years of age.

Jimfag status = ROASTED

Ember does seem to be way older then Spike but to me,Spike seems to treat Ember more like a big sister.

Now about Capper I notice in some scenes him and Spike teamup which was cool.I wonder how that happen.

>>30887108
human horses, not magical equestrian horses though. granny smith is over 200 years old.

Right now I'll pinpoint Spike to be 11 years old, and Ember to be 17. I'm willing to give him 3-4 extra years if his balls just drop already.

>>30887244
its easy to deduce his age by comparing him to a filly. twilight was getting into a prestigious magic kindergarten by passing her entrance exam. that puts her age right around 6 at the time of spike hatching. if you assume now shes anywhere between 18 and 24, then spike is anywhere between 12 and 18.
or if you want to be extra safe you just find out the maximum age twilight could have possible been when she hatched spike and do the same thing.

>be Spike

>500 years old

I guess you could say that it's a dragon psychology thing, but if that's the case then it's portrayed very poorly compared to how it's been done with other races like Yaks and Gryphons. Honestly the handling of Dragons in the lore is a complete and utter clusterfuck no matter how you look at it.

Makes me wonder, how old would Ember be?
She looks well at the end of her "teen" period –I'll say between 16~21 in human time– and so does most of the (active) dragons shown.

That clears up some stuff if that's the case, but honestly it doesn't make it any less confusing.

Yeah, the comic show that anyone insane enough to survive the madness of the chaos dimension can get chaos power and with some time they can use that power outside the chaos dimension(and make the previous owner weaker).

Except Discord is heavily implied to be an outcast who only interacts with others in fits and bursts and generally only does so to be antagonistic.

That being said, it makes sense that he would be an autist because it's perfectly reasonable to assume that he wouldn't have interacted with others sufficiently to learn these things, even if he's the oldest character in the show.

Meanwhile we've seen that Dragons are highly social and interact with each other frequently. You would expect that a creature that spends time in the presence of others would come to understand these things eventually, unless they have what is a completley alien psychology.

Princess McFlurry is able to understand and respect a paragraph apology from an adult, even though she herself seems unable to form words.

Those comics with McFlurry is hyper-intelligent were a joke, but honestly I think that's how the writers have the character pegged.

>>30892115
no it's not. When they release financial reports they look at franchises, not departments. And FiM is pretty much the most succesful cartoon right now apart from maybe Spongebob.

>>30892226
maybe shes a genius

>>30892094
Maybe you should ask >>>/biz/ what they think about it
And watch them meme you to death, faggot

Hasbro is completely aware of cable TV dying and are already working on it with youtube series and shit
Actually, G5 might end up on youtube too for all we know, or both cable and YT, since little ones have an easier time watching tv than browsing an internet site

If FiM wasn't bringing them any money, they wouldn't make a fucking high budgeted MOVIE in the middle of the SEVENTH season
And the fandom slowly (very slowly) dying doesn't mean the toys don't sell anymore

>>30892291
I think the reason McFlurry is hyper-intelligent for a baby is because the toy department wants her to be appealing, so the baby isn't allowed to cry very often and it needs to seem cute and fun to be around. The natural, selfish, irrational behavior of a child is sort of unappealing, so instead they depict McFlurry as having these very rational and reasonable needs. She's cute and wonderful as long as you meet her logical emotional necessities, and if you fail to do so you can still just talk it out like rational adults.

Her being a genius will probably never come up, and if it does it'll probably be agonizing to watch.

>>30892329
I kinda doubt any real cartoon series is going to be on Youtube. Netflix or Amazon Prime, for sure, but not Youtube. Youtube is frankly inhospitable for serious entertainment. The whole site is controlled by a robot that thinks you want to watch fifteen minute vlogs until you choke on them. Or at the least, the robot identifies that those shitty vlogs are the most profitable thing for it to promote.

Cartoons can't survive on that platform.

>>30892341
Well, as someone hanging out with a lot of kids of all ages, I can assure you that youtube perfectly fits their 'needs'
Netflix would too, of course, but netflix is a paid service, and much more than that, isn't a thing worldwide (yet)

And kids love those blog shits, that's exactly why hasbro IS making some too to go with the shows, see those things with the nigglet and the little white boy talking about the yakyakistan episode

I fail to understand your point on why it couldn't survive on such a platform
Playlists are a thing, and if you watch an 'episode one' it will generally auto-play 'episode two' right after

Kids don't have your standards, Anon, they don't care about seeing an ad pop up whenever they start a new video or even in the middle of an episode, they simply wait it out, close it, then go back to watching whatever it was they wanted to see in the first place

So, netflix and amazon prime and whatever are nice for cartoons aimed at pre-teens/teenagers, because they do have standards and would be more 'able' to force their parents to pay for it, but not if your show's target is 4-10yos

>>30892341
>Cartoons can't survive on that platform.
True, but only because the revenue gained from ads doesn't meet the capital investment required to produce them. Hell, to a certain extent the same can be said about traditional cable. It's one of the main reasons that pretty much every cartoon has merchandise attached to it, because selling toys, clothes, ect, is far more profitable than the ads on the cartoon itself ever will be.

It's one of the main reasons that animation STILL isn't taken as seriously as live action stuff.

>>30892329
>Hasbro is completely aware of cable TV dying and are already working on it with youtube series and shit
is this why they religiously try to delete every episode upload on youtube

>>30891091
>So... What is he supposed to tweet about?
On his job-related tweeter? Job-related stuff and nothing else, of course.

He always can make a personal Tweeter for his personal stuff and zero job related things, but Jim wants to have his cake and eat it as well, since he knows that few people would care about him without his connection to FiM.

>>30891184
We already saw how in the canon continuity, Order literally kills Discord.

There's zero money in Youtube, and the amount of money that's in it for content providers decreases every year even as Youtube reports its earnings going up. More people are watching, but the worth of each view is going down. If cable TV is bad, Youtube is a thousand times worse, and shows would be 100% dependent on their merch sales.

Any of you remember "Bee and Puppycat"? They took $800k from the Kickstarter, then used all the money to finance their toys. They had stuffed animals ready to go the minute episodes went live. Of course the whole plan failed because in spite of the hype they generated, Bee and Puppycat wound up being thoroughly mediocre.

It's worse now for cartoons on Youtube than it was when Frederator flopped. Youtube won't direct any organic traffic to the cartoons, meaning Hasbro would have to pay to advertise, and then the viewership from the advertising won't earn back the cost of advertising.

At least when Netflix is recommending content to people, it's selecting from a more limited pool of actual cartoons and budgeted content. Youtube will as gladly ship all your viewers away to whoever the next Pewdiepie is.

There's no future on Youtube. No serious content creator wants to be there these days. Even most indie guys are sick of the site.

>>30891196
Spike has never been seen interacting with kids on his own.

>>30892489
>still doesn't understand how it works
TOYS, Anon, no one gives a fuck about youtube revenues, especially not HASBRO
lmao

>>30892500
You're retarded. Of course they care about the revenue being produced by the show itself. If the show is able to generate enough ad revenue to be diverted into advertising, then the whole enterprise becomes self-sustaining and it's a very good idea. Suppose each episode makes $1 million in advertising on cable, and you need to spend $400k per episode to maintain that interest level, then it works.

But on Youtube, $1 million worth of views on cable becomes $100k. It's a fraction of the income, and you still find yourself spending $400k per episode to maintain interest. Now your show is a net loss to operate and it isn't self-sustaining, and you may as well not fuck with it at all. If you're going to spend that ad money, it may be on direct ads for your actual toys, since the toys are where the money really is.

There's really no point in having an MLP show if people can't find it to watch it, and if it makes a huge net loss to operate, they'll shut it down. There's no point for them to be on Youtube. It's just death.

>>30892520
You do understand that the money from the 'ads income' isn't from people viewing the ads but by people buying the fucking toys, right?
People don't give money for every ads they see, that's not how it works, and they certainly don't get that much more money from cable companies than they would from youtube views

Also the cost of the episodes would go down because you don't have nearly as much bullshit to deal with to make sure it's y-3 and whatnot

Also the main point was that cable TV is doomed, so maybe they can get 1m$ an episode right now, but what about in two years? Or five? Or ten?

>>30892500
If this is true why are they deleting episodes as soon as they're uploaded? Wouldn't it be smarter to let it be there and generate views and advertise their toys?

>>30892574
You don't know what you're talking about. For every million viewers you have, advertisers may be willing to pay thousands of dollars to run a single ad on your channel. If you want to run an ad during the NBA championship, you need to shell out $1.5 million for a thirty second spot.

Do you know how much money 17 million viewers would be worth on Youtube? That's like the whole viewership of "The Walking Dead", so we're talking success. I'd estimate you'd be looking at an income of $50k TOTAL for all 17 million views. $50k. Maybe $200k if you assume the CPM is something unreasonable like $10.

Do you know what the walking dead makes for ONE commercial right now? $400k. ONE COMMERCIAL.

Switching to Youtube for ANY program would be throwing away 90% of that program's ad worth. And in five years, if current trends continue, that deal will be even worse on Youtube because it's consistently gotten worse every year. The average CPM never goes up. It only goes down.

Yes, the toys are a major part of Hasbro's MLP income, but if you ask them to earn millions of dollars less in advertising just to keep MLP on the air, they wouldn't bother. Youtube is not an appropriate platform for this or any cartoon.

>>30892604
I don't think they're the ones pushing that shit, Anon
For one, the system is automated now, even gameplay videos of people playing games get hit if they have songs/movies playing in the background
Secondly, idk, nintendo does it too
Why? Who the fuck knows, but there must be a reason, people with so much money aren't dumb
Third, I believe it's more of a matter of quality control
If 'Rainbow dash rocks 2456' uploads a couple episodes, then creates his own shitty content that might not fit Hasbro's criteria, see friendship is magic and shit, and it's filled with autism and vulgarities and whatnot, the kid watching it might get the wrong idea

If THEY are the ones uploading it, then put all that shit in playlists and also upload those 'sfw blogs' like that ponka in yakyakistan one, then YT will push the kids to watch these instead of whatever it was RD2456 uploaded

idk, I'm too tired to think of all that shit

>>30892652
Anon, fuck off with this broken logic of "oh, well the external advertising heals all wounds." The average worth of an ad on TV is $100k, and that's more than you get for the entire lifetime viewership of 99% of Youtube videos.

Youtube functions by quantity. You upload a new, stupid piece of dog shit every day and their automated program recommends it every day so that each new piece of shit gets $100k. You don't spend a month working on a cartoon and then upload it to Youtube - there's no business sense in doing it and no sane company will start doing it.

They'll go to Netflix or Amazon Prime where there's a business model that has anything at all to do with real content.

That's actually the dumbest god damn thing I've heard this week. You are actually a fucking dumbass if you actually think this, along with anybody that thinks that talking about yourself on a website made for people to talk about themselves counts as "having your cake and eating it too".

I'm apparently not allowed to talk about what I do for a living on a web page meant for me to talk about myself.

>>30892699
When you represent a children's brand and use it to promote your personal Twitter, it is a touch irresponsible to post about cutting yourself or to snipe at the autistic Youtube personalities trying to milk you for drama.

>>30892707
You do know that children don't follow him on twitter
Or anyone else that isn't justin bieber, eminem and emma watson

Twitter is a fucking blog
I know you're too young to know what those were like, but it's not meant for him to represent a firm, a brand or whatever else, it's just him, his opinions, his views and his feelings
That's all, you're just fucking projecting because you need a culprit

>>30892779
Not that anon, but you're stupid and wrong. There have been countless situations where someone was fired because of what he said on twitter.

>>30892824
Thank you for proving my point lmao

>>30892707
Yes, you're completely right. I'm sure the target audience gives every fuck about who the supervising director is. On top of that, I'm sure they give enough of a fuck to look him up on twitter and read the thoughts of a man they've never heard of. I'm sure that's every young girl's dream.

>it is a touch irresponsible to post about cutting yourself or to snipe at the autistic Youtube personalities trying to milk you for drama
Again, it's Twitter.
Also, ignoring the "using your connection with a successful children's cartoon to promote your personal Twitter" comment, people seem to forget that Jim is an actual person too, and as a result, has human thought and emotion, and would therefore defend himself from moderately large youtube personalities trying to buttfuck him and his reputation for money and views.

You can't tell me you wouldn't.

>>30892828
>I'll just pretend to be retarded
this isn't /v/, kid. Maybe you need to fuck off back there.

>>30892779
>That's all, you're just fucking projecting because you need a culprit
Yeah, it seemed like that when he changed his point to be more specific.

>>30892824
Yeah, but that's always when they've done something fucked up or said something that hurt some SJW's feefees.

>>30892833
"Youtube personalities" are like a dime a dozen now. They're just people with vlog channels, more common than reporters and less familiar with the concept of libel. If some stupid tabloid reporter kept contacting my Twitter to ask how I feel about a children's cartoon I direct, I would generally ignore them. They might still annoy me, but I wouldn't rant at them and give them something to report on. Youtube personalities rarely even care about the stuff they do their videos on anymore. It's mainly business, and the business of stirring a big stew of feces at that.

>>30893216
Dude. What the hell.
People like Molim or Peet are big enough to be an actual threat to the reputation of somebody like him. It's not a matter of "Oh well, I won't let them annoy me". You don't defend yourself, their toxic money driven bullshit WILL fuck your rep to the point where legitimately nobody likes you, motivation aside. But it looks like it's too late for that now anyway. Everyone here constantly shits on the guy.

>>30893478
>Moliminous is big enough to threaten Jim's rep
So is the National Enquirer by that logic. Having lots of subscribers on Youtube doesn't mean anything. The worst humans have a lot of subscribers, and it doesn't make them sincere or compelling. Moliminous did nothing to Jim except goad him, and it's Jim's own foolish responsibility to replying to him.

Seriously, look at whatever public info there is about Moliminous and tell me it was worth responding to him. His bios say he's the wrong gender, it complains about how he was banned from some chat group, and there's real or important there at all. Why become a part of some random-ass compulsive liar's self-fellatio? Just ignore those people, they are the worst. Negativity is literally the only thing they have to offer to the point they make a LIVING on it.

>>30892699
I assume you have never worked a single day in your life, mate.

>>30891923
Ignoring the map might not be "good", but there's not really a whole lot of "bad" that would occur from it being ignored.


The issue is that the Tree of harmony's map should really only buzz them for truly important thing or else it feels weak and pointless; You don't put the bat signal up in the sky for batman to stop a jaywalker or help someone who needs directions somewhere for example.


It'd be like if they had the elements of harmony pulled out for things like gilda or trixie, you want things like that to only be used for truly big things that NEED that magical object to be fixed with.

>>30894044
>not a whole lot of bad
[citation needed]
On one hand we got you and your laziness going 'well, what could go wrong?'
On the other we got an invisible force that has been helping them save the world, once again, multiple times
No, Anon, you don't fucking ignore that shit

>but what could've been so bad about abandoning the hoofields and maccolts and let them sort that bullshit by themselves
Well idk, maybe mother nature would've been unhappy about the valley getting fucked by ponies and sent an ursa major to fuck them up? And it could've kept going to canterlot and ponyville or whatever
Who the fuck knows? This is a magical world, we don't know shit about it and assumption is the mother of all fuck ups

Maybe all the people they've helped throughout the years will help them in the final battle
Maybe they're all needed and important for the plan
Maybe not
Maybe the map is controlled by some faggot that's watching them from afar and laughing his ass off
Who knows

But to say that they 'shouldn't listen' the fucking map is just nuts

>hoof fields and McColts
that shit has been going on for GENERATIONS, there's nothing even remotely indicating anything is going to change in the near future given the extent of their "fucking up" the valley is throwing pumpkins at each other.

>Gladstone
So... Siegfriend and Roy keep performing at a hotel for a few more years. WOAH, shit's going to hit the fan from this.

>Manehattan play doesn't get done
I really can't even begin to describe how freaking unimportant this is. Like... seriously. That's freaking small potatoes (and a GREAT example of WHY the fucking map is bad-- this episode would have worked much, MUCH better if they'd done it organically: rarity is good friends with coco, just have coco ask her for help. its that fucking simple, and its what they WOULD have done to get the episode framed prior to the map)

>>30894163

>turns out glimglam and trixie were practicing magic, and since trixie is shit it ended up like this

>if not for the fact that Anon is screaming in pain and calling her a piece of shit and whatnot

Scenario A;
>Dash/glimmy/twiggy/whatever are there to keep their heads cool
>Trixie apologize, and glimmy fixes it
>No harm done, everything goes back to normal, other than the fact that Anon won't be able to sit for a couple days

>Dash/glimmy/twiggy aren't there to calm them down

>"Not my fault I'm so powerful blablabla"
>It degenerates
>She's enraged, but still decides to help him out, before glimmy could stop her
>And casts a flamethrower spell on his ass
>Since she's mad, and shit at magic, he ends up burning alive
>oops
>Trixie is sentenced to banishment to the everfree or something, idk, but anyway, she's not in the plan anymore
>Glimmy ends up in a big depression
>Everything kinda go back to normal, until the final boss appears
>And trixie isn't there to support Glimglam anymore, so everything goes bad
>And everyone dies, the end

Crazy how bullshit can happen in a magical world filled with crazy magical ponies and evil monsters, amirite?
I mean, hey, who would've thought that a simple freeze beam from some nobody unicorn could change the fate of the world!

>>30894358
"Nothing happening" is a far more likely scenario than your "Everything dies because raisons" scenario.

>>30894390
The point isn't whether or not a thing is unlikely to happen, it's whether you can take the risk or not, Anon
You can fuck your sister and impregnate her, there 'won't' be any problem
Maybe
Do you still feel like trying your luck? Knowing that your kid has more chances of ending up retarded?
It's still less than 1%, so why should you care?

>>30894390
Actually, we got an episode showing exactly how the smallest of things can change everything, see S5 finale
The difference between glimmy telling the bullies off and freezing RD is Chrysalis ending vs NMM
The difference was really small wasn't it? It was just about stopping RD from making the sonic rainboom, so how did Chrysalis got into power in one, and NMM got it in the other?

>>30893502
>The worst humans have a lot of subscribers, and it doesn't make them sincere or compelling
Then why do they have the subscribers?

The point is, his followers like and respect him. It doesn't matter how much of a faggot Molim is, when he has a large sheep following.

>>30893587
Why? Because I said words you disagree with?

>>30895013

>>30895640

According to who? Last I checked, there were no universal rules saying that you can't talk about your job on SM, and Hasbro doesn't say shit to their employees as long as they don't say anything they're not supposed to. I have every Idea.

Also, I'm an editor for a local TV/Radio station. That's what I do. I've also done volunteer work on a building for my father.

Would maybe mean something if they gave us actual lore about how dragons grow that they stick with.

>>30895640
I believe you don't
Please provide one(1) source about an employee getting fired because of a tweet
And I'm not talking about racist shit or whatever, but the exact same kind of 'blog' tweet that Jim did

Go ahead, I'll be waiting

>>30895953
They don't even need to tell us
It'd be great if they got a lore that every writers were supposed to follow, and then talk to the entire team whenever they felt like adding something

But it's not the case, because it's a cartoon for little kids and the actual writers are lazy hacks so
yep
