/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

>>474635
Everyone is in the other bunkers. /mlp/'s connection to /co/ is extremely tenuous and although it's pretty easy for a newfag to conclude that one is a spiritual successor to the other through a couple of screencaps, the two boards have been culturally diverging for more than a decade at this point. The majority of early migrants were /b/fags anyways
This is an awesome site though

>>474761
Sad that there’s no universal fallback location, I wish it was here, this place rules

How does it feel knowing G5 basically killed the franchise?

>>474821
0 fucks. Show (the real show, G4) ended, more or less perfectly considering it was a show to give Ha$bro merchandise money, and Lauren was gone even during season 2's production. How it went up to and including season 9 was better than most cash cows ever get. I don't care if the """franchise""" is dead, G4 was made, and I'll always love it. Fuck EQG, fuck it to death.

>>474821
G% should have been it's own thing disconnected from G4

Earth Ponies are the worst pony. Imagine not being to fly or use magic

>>474844
Don’t be mean anon, it’s not the mudponies fault that they’re inferior, it’s the duty of the superior pony types to care for them and protect them from themselves

One day earth ponies will put poison in their fruits and vegetables. Bon appetite! Your racism will one day be punished.

Reminder that nothing after season 2 is worth watching.

>>474972
It's the cast. The Mane Six are really special as a group of protagonists, and their interactions in everyday scenarios was peak. It was basically a slice-of-life show every bit as good as the best of anime. It just happened to star ponies.

Also, I think the pony-ness of it contributed to the comfiness. The setting and the quirks of the setting were fun. It was basically a kind of fantasy setting, medieval-tech-level, with magic, magical creatures, fairy tale vibes. That helped.

>>474971
Is it good after season 2? No
But I’d argue it’s not unwatchable until S6

>>474975
>medieval-tech-level
gilded age-tech-level

>>474972
It just came out at the right time
Had it come out early in the 2000's it would have been scoffed at and forgotten and seen as a hidden gem
Had it come out late them people would be too cynical to appreciate it
Couple that with Lauren Faust already having experience working on shows people love and understands what makes a good girls show and you've got an unforgettable show

>>475469
I actually agree about easy modern technology used for easy gags. Did not bother me nearly enough to say "show went to shit", but it was a tiny step down.

so where the tamers discussion now

>>476239
Mlpol in the poner board.
Nhnb in the fim board
/mlp/ board at 8chan.moe

>>476239
Oh wait, there's also a tamers thread on the sonic board in plus4chan
>>>/sssr/8926

>>474749
> /mlp/'s connection to /co/ is extremely tenuous
Not really. During the original airing while there were funposting /b/ threads all the real discussion was on /co/.
I'll grant you that the cultures completely diverged as the years went by. MLPG tried to cling to its own identity for years as far as I understand it.

>>474770
personally I'd choose here and /mlpol/ it's pretty comfy there too
call me a fag, but I actually loved /mlp/ for all it's flaws and even the generals
it also sucks that I was making green, and /mlp/ seemed like the only board that had embraced green as part of its culture

>>474987
I'd argue it only becomes unwatchable when the creatures get introduced
S6 was definitely when the writing was on the wall that the end of the line was near

>>476293
>The only board that embraced green
/mlp/s writefags were a dying breed in the face of /chag/ and funposting. But There's been a hidden writefag community on the mainboard /mlpol/ for years, and mlpol/poner/ has a new writefag thread

I came here from the bunker post on ponepaste, and I gotta say this one gives a strong impression. I've no idea what's going on with the communist new world order stuff, but it's neat.

>not recognising Red Alert
You really should give Red Alert 2 a try if you like RTS. It's such a good game, it's Unreal

>>476858
Plus has an extremely strong culture, our leader, Blackhand, loves C&C, if you stick around long enough, you might also be asked to go on a quest, or get a visit from The King of All Cosmos

Challenge.
Give Luna/Nightmare Moon a name that doesn't suck ass

>>477430
Pale Crescent

>>477430
The Death Scythe.

"The" being not optional.

>>478029
I still remember when Mr Metokur defended bronies and Princess Molestia from a social justice hypocrite. Good times..........

>>478049
Jim is a man of integrity

>>478061
Though when he decided to be a blackpilled nihilist, my respect for him went down JUUUUUUST A LITTLE.

>>476216
I hate how this pic captures how 2010 pony threads were comfy before everything went to hell.

>>474972
>I know nostalgia has a lot to play here
Only if you're thinking of nostalgia for even older shows.
The show didn't take itself too seriously, I guess, it was a preschool show and that was fine. Maybe even the suits helped at that, since Faust wanted an ongoing arc at first and they denied that.

Another thing missing on later seasons?
>Dear Princess Celestia...

>>479037
On the fandom in general I can't imagine too much. It very quickly outgrew 4chan. For /co/ I dunno, I could see it affecting the culture, but in the long run not the usercount

>>479041
"Outgrew" is relative in this context. Since ever since FiM ended the fandom is a shell of what it once was, with only slightest spark of what once was when the G5 movie first premiered and chuckle fucks where flabbergssted by "racist ponies!?", because they didn't know Bridle Gossip existed, but I digress.

Ironically the fandom is now carried by nostalgia of those who were there, and those who were actual children for both the show and golden age of the fandom, with Tiktoks and memes uniornically being the most relevant thing to come out of MLP in years.

>>478029
Hot!

>>479141
Yeah I guess I was more talking in the context of the fandom in the first half of the 2010's. I've been out of the game for a while

>>479037
Same shit. If you browse /mlp/ or seen the MLP general there, they're a direct result of the /co/ threads since the end of season 1.

>>478061
Jim is a tard who quoted /tv/ as fact repeatedly, then when it came time to do an expose on Channel Awesome he listened to the craziest most cancerous fuck in the bunch who traded him useless info in return for never being mentioned.
That is the opposite of integrity.

>>479543
Actually, I think Spike will burn that mudpony.

>>479562
Well, you did make Spike an emo.

Shouldn't you scatter like... 8 years ago?

>>479629
Well, you cannot exactly stop liking media just cause a few years passed. Unless you are a normie and you don't really like anything, perpetually moving from one thing to another after getting bored. Though I have the same stance on the brony conventions.

>>479624
No, I made him a butler. He was as lively and friendly as the show.

>>479629
Pony gets into your brain like a disease

But like a cool disease like Alex Mercer in Prototype, not a bad disease like cancer

>>479786
>pic
Literally episode 8

>>479543
She can talk mad shit, but you just know them both can't resist RD's dyke game.

>>479914
I member when Lauren said making RD super canon ghey would be low and cliche, since that would mean all tomboys are lesbos, or having a rainbow mane also somehow means you're super ghey.

>>479949
Hey, absolutely nothing wrong with fanart (and "fanart").
