Think that's why so many relationships fail, because people wind up forcing themselves to find good in the other person, play up who they are to appear more attractive to them... but well... real love is being yourself, with someone who cares about you and accepts you for who you are.
Reminds me of this Swedish Chef add-on for Mozilla. Everything was translated into Swedish Chef, with healthy doses of sentences punctuated with bork bork bork.TKinhonipei wrote:I have a Chrome extension named Ponify that changes many specific words to pony words. I love it.

I wouldn't even call it a fanfic idea turned into a movie, as the concept is fairly standard when it comes to animated films/shows for children. All I could think about was how fitting it was for "Friendship is Magic" to not actually be part of the title, because it honestly seems like a TV movie from an older MLP generation...

Also noooooo. I'm sorry for the pun, but where is the high horse coming from? Friendship is Magic might have good dialogue, cute art, and be surprisingly entertaining, but the episode plots have never NOT been formulaic. The entire series is formulaic. Part of the reason it was such a big deal is because it SHOWED that the formula isn't as much of a limitation for most kids shows as lazy writing and corporate pandering.
Look. I'll be the first to defend the less horrible half of FiM fans, and I enjoy the show plenty myself, but when all is said and done it's still a kids show, and though it sheds many of the trappings that entails, it holds on to several by necessity. Let's not pretend that the show ever WAS a paragon of "children's TV for adults." And let's not pretend that this entire movie wasn't practically the fandom's idea to begin with, either. Why's it always okay when fans do it, but once Hasbro or the writers steps in it's all OH NO THEY'RE RUINING IT WITH THEIR MONEY AND STUFF?
I mean I'm not EXCITED about this. I don't see any reason to be. It doesn't look so great. But if you had watched a commercial for MLP:FiM before you had gotten into the show, do you SERIOUSLY think you'd be able to see what all the fuss was about? Seriously? Like this one? How about these?
I'm not saying to go see it. God no. The young girls that it's made for will do that. Just stop running around like it's some kind of atrocious betrayal. It's just a movie based on a show based on a toy line, in the end. It might be a GOOD show, and you might like it, but let's be honest: there's nothing sacred here to ruin.
