Okay, so I watched all 13 episodes of Filly Funtasia (according to its wikipedia page, there'll be 17 but the final 4 are postponed for the forseeable future - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filly_Fu… I already wrote one journal about it after watching one episodeAnd here I'm writing another and I'm not sorry at all.Now, having watched 13 episodes, I gotta say it's a pretty enjoyable series, and no matter how much in denial you guys are, storywise it's on par with MLP. A group of friends overcoming obstacles, often friendship-related, just like in MLP. There were slice of life episodes as well as adventure episodes. Well, it's clearly "heavily inspired" by MLP but it's not a poorly done bootleg.Animation in Filly Funtasia is peculiar but it is what it is. That's 3D animation for you. I've seen worse. Also, do you remember Storm King's airship in the MLP movie ;uSpeaking of animation, it has its problems...But at least FF creators did their homework in one particular areaGratuitous plot-shots? Check!Let's back to the topic, tho.So, despite the first episode's protagonist, it's Rose who is The Twilight.The main difference is that Rose is the True Mary Sue. Like, the Marysuest of Mary Sues. She's best at everything. Everyone expects the best of her, every task is put on her back and she always suceeds and I don't even think she had any visible "flaws". She's that good. She is the Mary Sue to the point where it becomes actually funny and OTT. At least she is snarky and sarcastic.Just like Twilight.Shipping fuel is strong in the series too. Here Rose turns Will down but she keeps him hopeful in case her thing with Zack doesn't work out.However, Cedric is the Nerd who is infatuated with Rose but takes his creepiness to the new level unseen in cartoons,Like... (Don't tell a girl about your wet dreams about her... especially when she wasn't impressed the first time)or that's not subtle at all Cedor where he literally kidnaps Rose and keeps her in a basement "for her own good"Funnily, Lynn must have been through hell like this before as implied by this line:So, Cedric, no means no.However, no matter what he tries, she digs Will more as he is her second-best-choice just after Zack Not everyfilly likes Rose much, tho, e.g. Lynn There was an episode with Rose trying to forcibly befriend Lynn because Miss Sparkle ordered her to do so. It had that Pinkie Pie vibe.So, Battiwigs is the butt of many jokes, just like SpikeBattiwigs's relation to Wranglum is akin to that of Toadie and Duke Ightorn from the Gummi bear adventures. He is being constantly humiliated, insulted, electrocuted etc.... but he still craves for Wranglum's love and attention. Funnily, he's also a Dorm Pet of Will and Cedric so he could get some love and attention from them. But he is also evil and wants to rule the world, I guess? At least Funtasia has a recurring villain and in some episodes he got really dangerous (as far as "dangrous" can be in a kids' show). He's not totally incompetent. Just a bit incompetent. Also, he's imprisoned in the mirror and that's why he sits in there, but, spoilers, he can get out of it thanks to some crystals.Battiwigs being humiliated in every way got the point where it was literally NSFW. Have you ever heard of. I hadn't heard untiltold me about that... as he is an r34 specialist - literally, he wrote a master's thesis on that... and is pursuing Phd in that field (sociology). I wish I hadn't learned that but now you can interpret certain scenes in a way (probably) unintended by the writers.Oh, ffs, you can't interpret it any other way. He got more that he wished for and excatly what he didn't want, OK.Not the only time Filly Funtasia was borderline wrongBtw, Twilight Sparkle kinda exists in FuntasiaSparkle being like "Hello darkness, my old friend"Turned out that princely students were NOT safe in their dorms.Also, FF has the same problem as MLP when it comes to handsAlso, some inner logic could be betterSnape Filly, snort, snortFillies aren't afraid to use offensive magic Lynn literally evaporates a murder of crows. GG Interestingly, Rose shoots her lazer from her crown's crystal, not her horn. Apparently they use horns for other fun activities. Oh, and FF has their own SeaponiesRose is actually a badass for a Mary Sue. Look at that coot face when she murders an entire group of Grounders That's my filly!Well, it's a series that's as enjoyable as MLP. A silly cartoon for kids... with parental bonus here and there.Oh, mane!STI, eh? That sucks. Cedric might have a little bit of satisfaction now ;0Go, go watch it. It's silly enough and has only 13 episodes.13 extra episodes full of poniesWeird, peculiar, disfigured ponies but still ponies
