This journal is merely to serve as an archive to the many shit I review/analysis/rant about. Nothing more. So any one who likes reading my shit, but can't bother to scroll through the journal links, they're all here. Some of these links go to the same page because I sometimes do multiple reviews under one entry. I will put this specific journal link at the bottom of future journals. Also included are my Toonzone reviews and any other outside stuff I've done beyond DA. Please don't be afraid to tell me if any of the links aren't working for whatever reason.

:bulletred: SPOILER WARNING: A lot of these reviews will spoil, so click with caution.


ARTICLES IN MY DEVIANTART JOURNALS

It is mind-boggling, the amount of Transformers and other stuff you are familiar with. I thought I was obsessed. Do you do these reviews professionally or is it just for fun?

The only reviews that I do professionally are the ones in Toonzone. Anything in my personal journals (like DA, tumblr, etc.) are for fun.

From the "Ranx" review: "I know a lot of people want Aya dead..."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you've obviously never explored the GLTAS Tumblr community.

The review is actually a response to the message board I dwell where a lot of people want her dead because they find her irredeemable (keep in mind all of these reviews from World's Finest comes from said message board). I'm fully aware of the fanbase's majority opinion and though I do think Aya has a LONG way to go to redeem if she Hal's team saves her, I am more leaning towards her living instead of being killed because goddamn it, I fangirl her and Razer (also unfortunate implication killing off the major female protagonist).
Reply
:iconphantomsinger:
Join the club, honey, join the very extensive Razaya club :). Personally, I've been fanbasing with the Tumblr community, and everyone on there, including me, loves Aya to pieces. The idea that people want Aya to die for her actions just seemed so horrible and ridiculous to me that it was worth laughing over. Aya does need to pay for her actions and suffer the consequences, yes, but not with her death. It's not going to be an easy fix, but I don't think that she has to die to make everything right.

Honestly, I think this will be a sad issue we'll never get to see now that the show is cancelled. I can easily see Aya's redemption arc has a big thing in Season Two. Sadly, it is not meant to be. (Although I admit a part of me is still appealing to the idea of Razer killing her to save billions in that tragic sense, but the one thing I didn't mention in the review is the possibly unfortunate implication of killing the major female lead - not to mention redundancy since she had a near death earlier).
Reply
:iconphantomsinger:
I would say I hope (or don't hope) that any of those things come to pass...but I learned long ago not to theorize about this show, because 90% of the time you'll be wrong. And yeah, there would be serious issues killing off a female lead, especially one who is as popular as Aya is.

What do you believe are the worst episodes ever of My Little Pony? I'm working on a review on a list I came up with, but I'd like some pointers.

*neoyi Feb 5, 2013  Hobbyist Traditional Artist
Two come to mind, both with questionable morals and both unfortunately producing a very annoying Pinkie Pie:

"Luna Eclipsed" because the moral ends with Pinkie Pie - the main causer of people panicking over Luna who, mind you, has undergone so much in her 1,000 year imprisonment that she is doing her damnest to make amends - claiming all her "scared" moments from Luna was just an act because it's Halloween (or whatever the pony equivalent is). This is annoying and quite frankly, rude. Luna's suffered a great deal and has caused a many of said suffering, so to have this pink jerk ruin it all in the name of fun and have the entire episode embrace it is a terrible message to send.

Also, why are the other Mane Six except Twilight Princess scared of Luna? I get apprehension, but it's such a cheap tactic to use to only get Twilight to stick up to Luna when the rest saw her redemption in the first two episodes.

The other episode is "A Friend in Deed." So, the moral is "keep bothering an introvert unless he becomes your friend?" The moral is, "Do not respect their decision to be alone; everybody should have friends?" No. FUCK THAT. If someone wants to be alone, that is their choice and I hate that the plot had to invalidate that and work out a scenario for the cranky donkey to open up to Pinkie Pie.

This is sadly one of the cases where it's inevitable. The subtitle for MLP is "Friendship is Magic"; it's the overall theme of the show. When they deal with an episode like this, they are going to produce something idealistic to promote the idea. Usually the show is very good about this, but slapping it on someone who willingly chose to be alone doesn't work because it means the show has to force that idealism instead of the much more reality-bounded cynical/bittersweet that the cranky guy really is. It's unfortunate implication and for an introvert like me who would be absolutely annoyed and offended to have someone constantly asking me to be her friend when I don't want to makes this episode a no-winner to me.
