Steve why did you get an avatar, just wondering

I guess three years of no avatar made me want one.

[Ad Bot]

[Tetris]

and hasbro has no reason to force them to

we'll see

no one can foretell their next bad decision

[tikitai]

hey guys remember when fim had antagonists

oh wait...

[YourBuddyBill]

Kthnks.

What. Noooooo.
For all his unintelligible babbling and shouting crystals he looked p cool.

Sombra dead in-story...

Well, actually, that means that fans can use him in fanfics without a future storyline change forcing them to rewrite half the story to remain consistent with the actual story (well, except that he's obviously survived in the fanfic)

we'll see

no one can foretell their next bad decision

True.

hey guys remember when fim had antagonists

Maybe that's part of the problem: They don't have anyone who can be a real villain anymore. I mean, sure, Sombra had no character depth whatsoever, but Discord definitely could have been played out a bit more. He strikes me as the sort who has no ethics or morals and will only use yours against you, and stab you in the back when you least expect it, etcetra.

i'll just post the highlights

    Meghan McCarthy says Season 4 is very ambitious, epic, and that they are attempting something they haven't done before.

    Production of Season 4 is currently in full swing.

    Amy Rogers has been writing for Season 4 for awhile. She has not worked on Care Bears for a year.

    Meghan makes a joke about their "corporate overlords". Also jokes about giving Polsky all the crap premises. Likes to write "AJ pregnancy scare" on the whiteboard after the story meeting's over.

    The writing process is much more structured

    MA Larson's hardest character to write is Fluttershy. Not sure how to make her funny.

    McCarthy's hardest character is AJ, very even keeled sometimes.

    Cindy Morrow's hardest character is Rarity, struggles with the dialogue.

    Joke about Hasbro snipers

Q&A: Meghan wants to quell some fears.

    Meghan would crossover Breaking Bad and MLP

    Why was there no Rarity episode? Spike at your Service was originally supposed to be the Rarity episode but it started to go in a bad direction for her character by making her really mean and several drafts later was no longer a Rarity episode.

    Star-swirl episode? No idea.

    Amy has with her a folder of three episode ideas they haven't used yet.

    Meghan does work with the IDW comic writers to ensure continuity.

    "At the end of the day, I feel like I get to tell the story I want to tell." The execs that Hasbro put in charge of FiM genuinely care about the show. Hasbro is not satan. Writers have a lot more control then previously thought.

    Alicorn Twilight has introduced no difficulties in the writing. All the answers to our questions will be revealed in season 4's two-part opening. All the relationships are still the same and will get deeper. Don't worry.

    Rarity season 4 episodes confirmed.

    What was the intent of Star-swirl's spell? We never went that far into it.

    Why did Twilight turn into an a-corn? It's been obvious from the start that she was gonna turn into an a-corn.

    Why was the finale a musical? We wanted a musical. Figured the season 3 finale would be best to take Twilight through the emotions.

    Season 3 finale was planned and written in November of 2011

    Writers don't know anything about bg ponies.

    Discord hinted for Season 4 (I think)

    Perhaps you should watch the show...if..you...want... (to see what we'd do with a season long story arc)

    Peewee going back to his parents was not scripted. It was done by the storyboarders. Also Jayson Theisson has an encyclopedic knowledge of the show.

    Do you wish you could write the show as a serial? Larson thinks of the show as something of a sitcom. Meghan likes being able to go through multiple character arcs and using serial elements. Full serialization would focus the show on only one character.

    Cindy Morrow went to college with Craig McCracken, Faust, and Meghan.

    Sethisto's question: How long did it take to write the finale? The usual time from premise to polish is 9 weeks.

    Sethisto's 2nd question: Are we gonna see Trixie again? Uhhhh maybe?

    Where will we see Zecora and Derpy again? Meghan: wink

    How will you balance out Twilicorn with the other ponies? "You will find out." -Meghan

    Meghan hates horses. It's a childhood problem.

    Meghan confirms. Sombra was intended to be likened to Sauron. Meghan wishes he was a bit scarier.

These are all the things I was able to jot down. All in all, a great Q&A. If you caught anything else. Please post.

someone will probably upload the video eventually, i'll post it when that happens

Curious. Very curious.

[Tetris]

"ambitious, epic, and different than before"

this is opposite of why i began watching the show

but whatever i'll watch it anyways

[Blastdown]

it's fun to see the various bingo things
i should make one for myself, instead of doing an episode prediction. it would take a while to come up with 25 different plausible and expected things

i need to find the base

[LegendZ]

Not sure if skipping season 4 save for pilots and finale like I did with s2.

[BlockoCrafter]

hey guys remember when fim had antagonists

oh wait...

Chrysalis is still considered an antagonist that is still going. Maybe she'll come back to claim vengeance?

[Kochieboy]

Wait, in the celebrity guest voice box, is that Weird Al?

I would lose my stuff if that was.

I'm 90% sure that is fanmade.

[Blastdown]

hopes of Weird Al coming into the show are as old as season one
william anderson, the background music composer, knows him so people have been hoping they might somehow get him into the show

mainly as Pinkie's uncle
