Oh, yeah, because the first season didn’t have stock plots at all.

@Background Human  
That sounds cool, do you mean MLP’s original creators here, or us? Because I reckon if we stayed together and refused the bullshit we’re about to be force-fed by Hasbro, we could stay together a whole lot longer than the DBZ fandom did when it was fed that GT bullshit.
 
One of the most annoying things about all of this? Their plans for Applejack. Some “Writer” wants the character revamped into a generic black woman character, because she’s friends with a “Comedian” from one of those shitty anti-trump shows. She’s having the character made into a shell for the sake of a nepotism-hire who can’t act. And in the process, spitting on the rare good western-woman role model this character gave children before these piece-of-shit writers flanderized her from “Goes without sleep for days for the sake of her family, learns to ask for help in this episode” to “Hates all fruit and loves apples, this is just who this hick is”.
 
Compare the Applejack in Fall Weather Friends to the Applejack in Non-Compete Clause.
 
God, why are all the worst MLP episodes either OC-shilling episodes, stock plots, fanbase-insulting episodes, or worse versions of episodes better writers already did? Why can’t they go high-energy, attempt an interesting premise, and fuck it up with some dignity? Why do they set the bar so low and still fail to reach it? Is that why they’re “Rebooting” the show, so they can remake it worse, hoping to disgust us and drive us off so we’ll stop “Over-analyzing” their work and “Caring too much” and “Demanding perfection” and so on?

@SilverStarApple  
These aren’t the people we’re trusting with MLP. These are the people who were told to get bent by the people we’re trusting with MLP.

It hurts to know these are the people we’re trusting with MLPFIM and the next generation of MLP, the people who want Applejack replaced with another generic pandering character while keeping her marketable face and name, the people who think MLP’s success relies entirely on “Irony” and “80s nostalgia”.

@redactedpony  
Appears that they did research later.

@Itsthinking  
Well, yeah, obviously. It’s not exactly reassuring to know that the scriptwriters are getting notes from people with very sketchy understanding of the brand.
 
On an unrelated note, whenever they refer to Pink Moon in an email, mentally replace that with Jem: the Movie

@redactedpony  
Don’t forget the emails from November that talk about the release date. Unless they’ve hit some production delays since then, we might be getting our movie as early as April 2017.

@redactedpony  
I think Hasbro would disagree with that sentiment…

These emails are actually pretty interesting, if you do some digging.  
The ones about script revisions, for instance. And one piece of advice to Amy Pascal from George Leon: “Also, don’t get distracted with their “brony”talk. It’s girl and only girl. That Brony thing is dads with really you gdaughters trying to be cool.”

Did you see the email that said they want the directors of ICE AGE to make it?

@Itsthinking  
I see. Will this mean anything from our point of view?
 
@Background Pony #2529  
And accodring to that email the jam movie is going to suck…
 
 
After taking a look at the other emails i wonder if this have anything to do with them getting Lauren Faust to direct Medusa?

@ender1200  
Sony wants to release it, apparently.

why’d you blank out the emails in the screencap? they’re still visible in the source

At one point, they wanted the directors of “Ice Age” to make it.

Apparently. They read the first draft of the script (no spoilers, so don’t worry), at least. They’re still interested in distributing it, though, and Sony had meetings with Hasbro about it.
 
Search for My Little Pony in the wikileaks link and you should find emails.

IS sony involved in the movie? I;m pretty sure that the new movie is produced inhpise by hasbro new production company.
 
Dose this mean that sony tried to negociate an MLP movie and failed?

Remember the whole fiasco with North Korea and “The Interview”? And how all those Sony emails got leaked?
 
There are a bunch of emails about MLP there. They were interested in producing and releasing the movie. Hasbro decided to produce it themselves, but Sony’s still interested in releasing it.

Whowhere on the whatnow?

There’s a whole bunch of correspondence with the Pony movie

What exactly does this imply?
