Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Watched some clips of this Pony shit.

It's cute I guess but I'm not really seeing what is so special. It's ponies and their friends and that's apparently the premise.

Watching the show is not leaping onto my agenda anytime soon.

Clips don't really do it justice, though.

Clips don't really do any great shows justice. You need the context of full episodes, even moreso now that there are callback and running jokes.

Clips are essentially what make up trailers though. And trailers are designed to make the viewer interested in watching. 😮

the show just makes me want to reach out and hug somebody.

ZEEEEEEUUUUUUSS!!!!

This Applebloom thing that NemeBro said I'd be if I were one of the ponies has a ****ing country accent.

Coincidence? mmm

Take Bridge to Terebithia. It's a heart-wrenching, personal story about childhood imagination, bonding, and loss, yet the trailers were specifically cut to trick people who enjoyed Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia into thinking it was another child-centered family-friendly fantasy epic. Many a confused tear was shed in theaters by poor children.

Or Bicentennial Man, which trailers made look like another Robin Williams comedy when it was, in fact, a romantic drama.

Or Kangaroo Jack, which based its marketing entirely on the wise-cracking CGI kangaroo from a hallucination, while the rest of the movie was very much not kid-friendly.

What I'm saying is, trailers are shit for getting a good impression of a movie, short clips even moreso.

I looked at the clips and took no interest.

I looked at the first episode on a whim, and I fell in love. 😐

Not all trailers lie.

The sum is only as good as its parts.

Just give it one episode. Its only 20 minutes.

No.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

In which case, you're only seeing bits of its parts anyway.

The sum isn't always as good as its parts. That's a meaningless axiom when applied indiscriminately.

Especially when the actual emergence concept is that the whole is, in fact, greater than the sum of its parts.

SNIPED

The horse is smiling. Kratos never smiles after the first game. estahuh

Damn, I lol'd at Kratos' expression and the grammar. Don't understand the punchline of the comic strip though. Meh.
