Well you know I always thought that Princess promenade thing wasn't serious especially because you can't learn how to be a good king/queen from a book especially not in a week. A queen nedd responsibility, knowladge and experience.
As the First kning of Hungary (ST) Stephen the first wrote in his book to his son:
"The patient kings are ruling wisely while the unpatient kings become cruel dictators."

^That is an awesome quote. ;D I honestly don't think the title of "princess" in PP meant anything except "person who gets special treatment because she has a crown and a fancy dress". There wasn't anything about being in charge involved at all; she was just...there. Because Hasbro had suddenly remembered that MLP is meant to be in a fantasy-type setting and all fantasy has princesses, right? *goes back to not avoiding her English paper*

Great quote, Bright Glow!
The funny thing about the G1 Princess ponies was that the other ponies didn't even know they existed. They were like, "Whoa, the legendary princess ponies are REAL? No way!" Looking back, I guess their main job was to keep the magic of Ponyland under control with their wands rather than actually "ruling" the other ponies. Princess Celestia looks like a much more involved ruler (yeah, and more responsible too.)

... and that makes me more excited and intrested to kow her and her apprantice Twilight Sparkle. If the mistery and wise Kimono was the "brain" of the G3 Ponyville than I guess Princess Celestria is thed same for the G4 Ponyville, and I guess it's harder to surprise her at her birthday than to Kimono, but i still don't tink it to be inpossible.

AND SO, TO CONTINUE WITH THE JOY THAT IS PICSPAMMING, I BRING YOU TWILIGHT SPARKLE! Huhwhat? You know, it is SO NICE to finally have a SMART pony who actually USES HER BRAIN. And, you know, READS and stuff. Also, check out the pretty pretty window frame to the left. And I just LOVE the fact that the inside walls of the castle (if this is indeed the castle) appear to be BLUE. NO PINK. BLUE. "Well dear, I could tell you the secret to my lovely shiny flowy hair, but then I'd have to kill you." "Okay, I made friends. Are you happy? Can I get back to my books now?" EVIL TORNADO! Either this is happening at night, or their in an evil castle sort of place. Possibly both. I'm loving the evil-looking chandelier. And the weird evil vines going down the column. "MUST...CONCENTRATE..." I have no idea what's going on here, but I'm sure I'll love it. It's nice to see ponies looking determined for a change. Yay magic! ;D ;D ;D Really digging the facial expressions. "Up to something? Whatever would make you think I'm UP to something?" Also, who ARE those three ponies? They don't look like any of the other main characters...hmm...will we be having RECURRING SIDE CHARACTERS, PERHAPS? Yay for more pony determinedness! Also, check out the book. Seems to have a golden unicorn head on the cover. Nice detailing and such. I bet it's a spell book... Pretty landscapes. I really like the landscapes. PONY POWER!!! And AGAIN with the determination! This is awesome! ;D Whatever Princess Celestia is saying must be pretty important, cuz Spike is writing it all down. Also, GRAY PONY! ARMORLESS GRAY PONY! Perhaps he's off duty? And I'm starting to think maybe we can tell guys from girls by the scruffy hairstyles... Maybe the blue uni off to the very side is a stallion, too!

"Well dear, I could tell you the secret to my lovely shiny flowy hair, but then I'd have to kill you." *Snork* I've only ever seen one of the MLP movies a VERY long time ago. And I watched... A Minty Christmas? Something early G3. So I have a very unbiased-ness when it comes to this new show. And I don't like the eyes. Too anime and I don't think it fits in with the rest of the "KU-ET" ness of the artistry. But I think if I can watch this show, I will. It looks good. THERE ARE GREY PONIES AND GUARDS. And fun architecture. And no HO MY GOSH PINKNESS. So yeah. I love your commentary Caelum.

I aim to please. Or at least amuse. ^_^
I can see why you might not like the eyes. They ARE rather large. *shrug* I'm personally having some problems getting used to the drawing style--bold lines and colors like this are usually used in shows I dislike, like The Fairly Oddparents, or Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, or Power Puff Girls. Seeing it used for MLP...well, it's weird, but at least I know there won't be any gruesome fart or barf jokes, so I'm sure I'll be fine.
As for the architecture...I just realized. I HAVEN'T SEEN RANDOM HEART DECOR ANYWHERE!!! No heart-shaped arches, no heart-shapes in windows, no random heart carvings in doorways or on walls! ZOMG!! THIS ALONE MAKES IT WORTH IT!!! *falls over in sheer GLEE*

I'm IN!!!!! I'm so watching the show! Alicorn! Manticore! Wait a minute. Has Hasbro been into KL? that castle looks familiar... Hey! I used that castle idea as the home of the White Clan! COOL!
Still don't like the designs. Hasbro, make them look like ponies, not cats, and lose the giant eyes. then it will be perfect. I will stomach the designs, but I am going to custom some of the characters into G1 bodies.
I want Celestia!

Yay! More picspam please! *cute babypony eyes* I'll try to hunt down some cute scrfeenshots from Rainbow Dash and Princess Celestra until that lookie here: www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=3101674.html#3101674(The second post from down at the moment) Pinkie Pie looks odd there. BTW what do you think from the G4 Pinkie Pie? Well it's odd to see her as a crazy silly and hyperactive pony afther her G3 and G3.5 herself. She can be sometimes annoying, even G3 Minty was a bit calmer.

Glad these are being enjoyed! ;D Nice link there, Bright Glow. Some of those people have some pretty interesting ideas... For my next subject of picspamming, I choose....FLUTTERSHY! ZOMG! Obviously, Fluttershy loves birds. ALL OF THEM. ...Is the grizzled old flamingo freaking anyone else out? Cuz he's freaking me out. Yellow body, pink hair, love of nature, garden setting...is anyone else getting G1 Posey vibes? Who wants to bet she'll be nice to a creature she shouldn't at some point and learn a valuable life lesson from a bunch of giant crabs? "Oosa adowable baby dwagon? You are! Yes you are! Oosa cute widdle baby dwagon? You are!" IT'S THE KILLER RABBIT OF CAERBANNOG!!! D'aww! Nuzzling makes everything better! I get the feeling this is one of those "just because he looks scary doesn't mean he IS" episodes. I kinda hope this guy isn't just a oneshot character. It'd be nice if he showed up every once in a while. Fluttershy's random manticore friend...I think I'll be calling him Monty until further notice... MANTICORE LOVE!!! ;D ;D ;D Fluttershy's such a sweet naive little pony. Twilight Sparkle is not amused. ;D Also, I love how Spike's riding on her back. Cheer up, emopony! Spike looks freaked out. GAH WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FRAMING??? "Don't worry Spike! I'll love you and feed you and take care of you and--" "Please put me down." She's just extra-adorable here, methinks. Looks like she's got an entire household of willing animal servants, too. "Thou shalt count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three..." *sigh* I don't know why they won't let me show this one... s878.photobucket.com/albums/ab342/caelumblue/MLP%202010%20Screenshots/?action=view¤t=fs-IBRINGYOUTHESINGINGCHOIROFFEATHEREDFRIENDS.jpg"I bring you the Singing Choir of Birdbrains!" "Um, Fluttershy? About Soylent Green..." Also, for some reason, I love the positioning of her legs here... OMGYAY!!! I am very, very willing to believe that they've just spotted Monty here: "Um, Fluttershy? Is that a Manticore?" "Well, yeah..." *squees over the positioning of Twilight Sparkle's ears*

Am loving the commentary! ;D Obviously, Fluttershy loves birds. You know what I love about this pic? That they're real BIRD-LOOKING birds, not generic cartoony tweety birds. Heck, one's a blue jay! . . . of course, this means I'll go crazy trying to guess what the rest are. (Green? I do think there are an green birds like that, are there? I mean, there are hummingbirds and stuff, but . . .) Oh, and Fluttershy is TOTALLY Posey. The artist's original sketch was actually of Posey, but Hasbro was like, "Nooo, you can only use Applejack!" (for whatever reason . . . Who knows with Hasbro, right?) ^^ Small version of the original drawing. Here's my theory on the others. Note this is all speculation, based on personalities and hair styles. Pinkie Pie was originally conceptualized as Surprise. (I think this is why there's a picture of "pegasus" Pinkie Pie floating around . . . They were experimenting with making her a pegasus like Surprise.) Rainbow Dash was originally conceptualized as Firefly. Check out the hair and eyes, mmhm. Applejack . . . is still Applejack. ;D I'm guessing Twilight Sparkle was originally conceptualized as Twilight. And I'm guuuessing Rarity started out as Sparkler, but that's really just based on her symbol and hair color.

They need a Moondancer pegasus to complete the moondancer cycle. Moondancer started out as a unicorn and was reborn as an earthling. Now to complete it, they need to make a pegasus moondancer!

I totally agree with that, but if that happens i hope she would have the same colors and symbol like G3 Moondancer had. (I wish, I wish, I wish) I heared that rumor Hasbro lost somehow the copyright of the most of the G1 characters. What the heck. I really like that Fluttershy looks like Posey too. I can't help but since there are many connections between the G1 and G4 ponies I wonder what would happen if they would meet someday. I'm sure Firefly would be happy to get a nother daredevil partner in G4 Rainbow dash personal (and ofcorse Medly wouldn't be happy) but as i saw from the videos G4 Rainbow Dash is faster and a bit better and talented in air acrobat, ofcorse that doesen't mean that she never have any accidrents but when she had one than ulike Firefly G4 Rainbow Dash missed the target. I wonder how mutch would Megan, Molly and Danny would like the G4 ponies (and how they would look like in G4 version). Maybe they would fiind G4 Pinkie Pie is too pink and too energic. PS: Oh and I really wonder if Applejack finally learned to swimm or not?

I mean, there are hummingbirds and stuff, but . . .) Ohmigosh, you're right! We don't usually get that in cartoons! Now that you've pointed it out, I am LOVING the blue jay. ;D I'm pretty sure the one on her tail is a cardinal. The other red one could be a woodpecker or flicker? Annnd.....no idea what the green one is. There are no green songbirds I know of. Tropical birds, sure, but that bird isn't tropical. Must be indigenous to Equestria... Those are some awesome theories, too! I can totally see the resemblance. Are those official pieces of concept art? Oh, Hasbro. You and your strange issues with names and character designs...MLP hasn't been an ongoing toyline for long enough to experience the brunt of the insanity yet, but judging from what I've seen of the Transformers toyline, I get the feeling that the crazy runs deep indeed... Though I must admit I love the pic of Firefly in G4 style. It's very dynamic. Matches her character to a T. THIS. ;D ;D ;D I think I heard that, too, but I'm pretty sure I also heard it was just a false rumor. *shrug* Then again, now that I'm actually looking it up, it looks like it could be true. No idea why they'd loose the rights to all the characters but THOSE two, though. *is confuzzled* IF APPLEJACK FALLS OFF A RICKETY ROPE BRIDGE AND NEEDS TO BE RESCUED BY AN AWESOMELY CATCHY SONG SEQUENCE, I SHALL FIND THE NEAREST HASBRO EMPLOYEE AND HUG THEM. ;D
