MLP Rumor: Humanized Spin-off Show Coming

[Soviet Heavy]

Oh my god, if this is true than I await the biggest shitstorm in 4Chan history. The racists who get in a frothing rage when they see humanized ponies like Twilight as any ethnicity will probably try to set the internet aflame.

As a neutral on the whole MLP thing, I hope this rumoured TV show is ok. Not good, not bad, but middling, because if it's good or above, the internet gets spammed with MLP spin off images everywhere, and I don't want that. If it's bad, the amount of hatred and bile for MLP will reach unprecedented levels, and I don't want that either. If it's okay, the worst I have to see is a few more hating comments and a few more MLP images, nothing terrible.

This is, of course, if this rumour turns out to be true.

The fires with burn with the heat of a thousand suns going supernova all at once.
...I am frightened for this day

 

[Orks da best]

um... aren't they adults in fim? Not teenagers...

Ugh this is going to be one of those set in high school sorta shows by the looks of it...

Also why are they still the same skin color as their pony counterparts...

Heck if there going to be humanize they might as well do it like this.

The designs are great and catch the spirit of the character itself. Not these...there lazy...

That said it be best if the show is given a chance, then if it is bad it will likely die off soon, or if good then good for everyone.

I guess I better start making some popcorn then.

And this has exactly what to do with gaming?

Please post this on sites that actually discuss this sort of content, this is just shoving things into people's faces.

I afraid that you're mistaken, the gaming forum is over here.

This is off topic forum, where discussing a TV show is definitely allowed. Also, you opened this thread, I didn't force you to.

Probably not the person the creator wants posting here, but here goes...

For me, it's a lot less creepy for an adult male to watch this new show, than to watch MLP. That's kinda messed up huh! - it's less creepy to watch a show about young girls, than to watch a show aimed at young girls... I think that the issue people have with Bronies, is that we can't understand why they would want to watch the show, apart from the sinister reasons, like they might be grooming MLP fans. But watching a show about young girls is less creepy somehow - like a paedo wouldn't openly watch that, it'd be too obvious.

Maybe it's just how my twisted mind works.

Well, you didn't blatantly insult anyone right now, and you are discussing the specific topic, so you're not a dick in my book. I'm interested in hearing more of your reasoning on why watching a girly show is worse than watching a girly show with girls in it. Seriously, go on.

Let me guess, it is about the skin color of Twilight.......haaaaaa.........I give up........
Well, at least the artists will have a specific image when they draw humanoid ponies......

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Count me in as one who's okay with this. If anything, we might get a human Discord. That could be fun.

Otherwise - yeah. Cash grab all around, Hasbro wants dolls and widdle fashion lines and playsets and shit.

 

[William Dickbringer]

I don't know man, we're taking out the animal fetishes, but now we're just making room for the pedophiles.

Eh, it already exists in places easily ignored. And NOTHING beats out that pony porn comic book. Christ that was bad.

(I made a whole post without mentioning that Loli thing. Yay.)

...you know I should be surprised but the existance of banned from equestria (daily) and browsing of /mlp/ I am not
O.T. Oh man and here I thought the whole twilight being an alicorn was gonna be the thing that kills the fanbase this might be it...or there is a slight chance that this might be good and and more of a slight chance being better but who knows for me it was unexpectedly expected....wait this must have put /mlp/ in a shitstorm oooooo I gotta go see how they're up to with this

 

[xPixelatedx]

So I don't get it, how is it MLP anymore when they aren't ponies?

So... this would make MLP's rule 34 a lot less creepy or just plain worse?

*shudders*

Worse. Fantastical, magical, absurd and exaggerated cartoon horses vs little girls. One is so preposterous it's hilarious, the other... the other gets into some seriously creepy close-to-home territory.

My Little Pony without ponies? In order to appeal to an older audience, they are aging down the characters?

I honestly have no idea what to make of this. I foresee myself ignoring it.

To be fair we really have no idea what the ages of the ponies are in friendship is magic, they could be anywhere from 15 to 25. But the human ones are obviously teenage.

I honestly cant see it becoming as popular as friendship is magic, they look too human now and with that comes allot of baggage. They kind of avoided the whole race thing by going with coloration from the ponies but we now have the age thing. The best part about them being ponies is that it allowed the viewer to assign traits to them, like if you were younger you could easily see them acting childish and assume they were young, if you were older you could see them operating their own businesses and taking on adventures to save the day and imagine them older and not the teen heroes that are constant in anime and most adventure things.

If they get good writers I can see it working but I have doubts, oh well, at least its an offshoot and will have no impact on the main series... assuming hasbro doesn't go all hands on and try and make the main series more and more kiddy (TEA PARTY FOR NO REASON!!!) and try and make this one more "mature" (read:teenage)

 

[Whitbane]

Will they have magic? Or will they be stereotypical teenage girls?

Cool spells and adorableness, or worrying about dates?

Please be the former, please god.

Not sure how they could pull off adorable with these characters. Or even if they would want to, given the target demographic. That's moe territory, plenty of brony appeal but not much crossover with tween girls.

Fundamentally, ponies are cute, while adolescents are humanity's greatest shame. The d'aww factor will be difficult.

 

[game-lover]

So... for the most part, I find this completely unnecessary.

But, eh. I guess whatever floats their boat.

 

[Padwolf]

The designs look teribly lazy. Why is Rainbow Dash still blue? Why are they all young girls now? Their magic and poniness was all part of the charm! But hey, tis just a cash grab. I don't like it, so I'm just gonna sit this one out. I wonder if it will cause a mass rage from the type of bronies that rage about this kind of stuff.

We watch it because we enjoy the show. It's as simple as that: it makes us smile, so we watch it. It boggles my mind that so many people get their panties in a twist because adults like a show primarily aimed at a younger audience.

Let me try and frame it from another point of view. You tell someone you really like this thing--say, a video game. It's engaging with an awesome story. Instead of taking your unironic enjoyment at face value, this person tells you that no, you can't just like it because you like it--it's a video game, therefore it's for kids! Clearly you have ulterior motivations, such as wanting to lure little kids into your windowless van. Now imagine that person multiplied by god only knows how many, telling you at every turn you're either a pathetic man-child or a pedophile. You and your fellow fans are the butt of the joke, with even 'professional' news and websites you go to for entertainment getting a few laughs in at your expense.

We try and shrug it off, but it does hurt. Being told we're pathetic/disgusting for finding enjoyment in something aimed at a different age group starts to wear on you after a while. It taints our enjoyment of something entirely innocent, even though we're doing nothing wrong nor hurting anyone.

I do get a little more wiggle room because I'm a girl. But my open, supportive family (my little bro came out of the closet and revealed himself as a furry and we were all just fine with it) still makes fun of my liking this show.

 

[Lucky Godzilla]

Meh, as long as it remains as a spin-off and doesn't impact MLP I'm fine with it.
I mean heck, if it turns out good I'll watch it.

In the meantime the R&P forum is just a myth? OMG! I knew they were pulling the wool over our eyes!!!

Snark, snark!

OT: I've never seen MLP, I just clicked this out of curiosity. Yup, the Rule 34 crowd's gonna have a REAL heyday with this if it proves to be true.

 

[Easton Dark]

Give them magic and make it the good Totally Spies reboot I've always wanted with characters I like more >)^3^(<

 

[Sniper Team 4]

I thought the rumor was that this was going to be a movie, not a spin-off show. I hope it's not a spin-off show. A movie I can handle, but not a complete show. I just don't like the way they look...probably because they keep the color of their skin. Fluttershy looks like she's going to be sick, Twilight looks like a zombie, and Rainbow Dash drowned. So, movie only please?
