Remember that time Captain Kirk became an admiral, and led his chunk of the fleet effectively for the next twenty years before becoming the best President of the Federation ever? Remember how he dealt with the Cardassians, the Ferengi, and the Borg? Remember that hand-to-hand duel with the head of the Tal Shiar that resulted in the Romulans becoming permanent friends of the Federation?
Duplex, that never happened. Not even in the books. Not even in the books that Shatner wrote. Know your fucking trek, you goddamn casual! Get the fuck out!
>Comparing Star Trek to MLP >Being this much of a retard when it comes to sci-fi
So what is the point of what you are saying? Why would HN be disrespectful to Faust? Where are people getting that idea from? What is this interview with Catfood supposed to be about?
Did you know that Faust's original plan for the series was that Celestia was grooming Twilight to be her successor? "It wasn't supposed to be that way"? Silly faggot, of course it was! All that's different is the wings.
But of course, how can I forget? The wings are what ruins it forever. If Lauren had done the exact same thing but Twilight couldn't also fly, THEN we'd have no problem.
Seriously. The fact that she even said Twi was going to be Celestia's successor means princess, just probably with no wings.
Ultimately that changes nothing. The amount of people still clinging on to what Faust says and what she would have done is sad. Her creative visions being stifled was the best thing that ever happened to MLP. If she had her way it would have just been another Powerpuff Girls with ponies.
This anon speaks truth. Ever heard of art from adversity? That's what MLP is. Its restrictions ultimately made it a better product. One person having full creative control of a project rarely if ever results in the best possible iteration of that project. I got respect for Lauren for what she did with MLP, and I think that she can be thanked for a lot of what we love about the series, but no way was her vision the be-all and end-all.
Subversion was very much a part of what Faust wanted. However the princess thing is really funny when you think about. Making Twi an alicorn princess only makes her different from a unicorn one in one way: the whole immortality thing. And even then that's something that only comes into effect after the series ends. Had she just been a unicorn all the other issues the fandom has would still be present.
- higher status than her friends - "less interesting" because royalty - friends being ignored or cheated "they deserve to be princesses too! Because reasons!"
and everything else. Plus, Faust intending it to be the end of the series means that it would have the same effect as the immortality. That is to say, wondering what happened after.
But the anons talking about Faust's creative vision being stifled by restrictions are right. /mlp/ loves season 1 so much? Because it's just simple, slice of life? It's only that way because Hasbro restricted what Faust wanted. She wanted it to be more adventure. Those slice of life episodes like Suited for Success, hailed as one of the best in the series? Might not have happened at all. Kind of hard to do when the ponies are chasing around Luna/Nightmare Moon for the whole season. Which is exactly what Faust wanted.
Whoever intended for Twilight to become a princess by the end of S3, it still bugs me. But if she didn't have wings or start to literally grow into an alicorn, while her friends stayed the same, it would bug me a lot less, if at all. It's just distracting.
Please. Ask the HN staff about it, if you're that unsure. They're not going to be so stupid enough to openly attack Faust. Even they have to respect her, because if it weren't for Faust, we wouldn't have had ponies in the first place. Take emotion out of the equation and put your goddamn thinking cap on.
>implying Faust started ponies >implying Bonnie Zacherle didn't start My Little Pony
God what is it with you and Lauren Faust? She didn't start the fucking thing, BONNIE ZACHERLE DID. How about you take your emotion out of the equation and put your goddamn thinking cap on. Learn the show and toyline's damn roots before giving credit to a woman like Lauren who doesn't deserve it all. Damn...
>"Although Zacherle's involvement with the franchise had long since concluded before the later development of the highly successful incarnation, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, in the 2010s, she has noted that she is pleased that the franchise has grown to appeal to a broader cross-demographic audience."
Lauren Faust was the person to actually grow the franchise past Bonnie Zacherle's ideology of "I wanted to create a pony toy line for girls because I always wanted a pony as a child," you child. It's like saying "Fuck that chef for making a wonderful meal, you see that guy over there? He created fire."
Granted, creating the fire is a commendable feat, but the fact that you're disregarding someone who's accomplishments spanned far beyond their predecessor, makes you sound like a fucking idiot.
That's a fucking lie, and you know it. We like MLP because we like it. We like everything about it. We just don't like special interest SJW groups and apologists like you, who always demand extra special attention, and wind up becoming no better than the elitist assholes who engage in behavior control because you don't like free will. The problem with SJWs like you, is that you become no better than the monsters you decry and try to defend the world against. You become your own fucking worst enemy because of your need to control others as well as your goddamn fucking hero complex. Take your communist, SJW, feminazi bullshit, and shove it so far up your ass it sticks out of your fucking nose.

Go home you casual.
Hasdrone, pls go.
DeleteFaust was fired *cough* totally chose to leave, years ago.
Delete/mlp/ can't let go. It's sad then again so is /mlp/
So what, precisely, does this mean? We all know she didn't plan for Twilight to become a princess - but does this mean she is upset at the idea?
ReplyDeleteOr dies it just mean she DOESN'T get angry at the idea, but she would "prefer to remember it the way she had it in her head"?
Both.

DeleteMaybe she wanted Twilight to put an end to the princess obsession in Equestria and become the first President elect.
DeleteBecause God forbid that any country have a power structure other than American-style democracy, even in a fantasy land of candy-coloured horses.
