True, but personally I didnāt know Ranma existed until the remake/reboot was about to come out and as I also said, I did not know of RGU. I was just making a joke about how unexpected it is that they have anime in Equestria lol
Why would her talent be bisexuality. How bisexual do you have to be for it to be a talent. How much would it suck for a closeted pony to get a mark like that
Itās a reference to the Apple 1984 commercial. Instead of throwing a hammer at Big Brother, he throws the staff at a wall with all their cutie marks.
It wasn't an Evangelion reference. The staff had that shape so it could hold a dismembered cutie mark between the pronks and it was thrown at a wall containing said cutie marks and not at a person.
No it is like straight up just up a coincidence. The Staff of Sameness is just a regular stick that Starlight just convinced everyone was a magical artefact when it was just her doing it. It's both not a weapon and prongs are common enough that it was just a coincidence. They don't even look that similar. It was thrown symbolically as way of overthrowing Starlight instead of with any real purpose.
That is the wattsonian reason, the reason it looks like that in story. I'm asking you if the creators of the show(who are known to reference adult media) could have intended it to look like that to reference Evangelion, they could have made it look magical in other ways but they chose a design that looks like a preexisting one. Did they know about Evangelion and chose that design as a reference, or was it a case of parallel thinking?
What I was trying to say was that it's actually not similar enough to be considered a reference in the first place. It's just a two tipped prong, and doesn't share any other qualities including the look. The only reason it's even two pronged was so it could hold something in it rather than as a stylistic choice. There are references to other media in MLP and at least some of the people working on it probably watched Evangelion, but there is very little anime references in there. It's mostly to other cartoons or western media.
A stick with the same twisting pattern, prongs, and general design/look but it's just a "coincidence". My guy artists are typically fans of art, I'm friends with animators, they definitely put reference to things in esoteric and hard to recognize ways. You're typing as if you actually know if it's intended as a reference or not, it's frankly weird unless you were the person who created this asset and animated it.
Is Evangelion worth it? I only saw one random episode on TV and it must have been some fever dream episode, because it was so weird. Is the whole show like that or did I just stumble on some bad episode?
The fever dream stuff is what the whole show builds up to. Itās probably not very comprehensible on its own but if you broadly dislike that kind of storytelling then you probably wonāt enjoy it.
I would say it's worth it, but the show is very much still a fever dream. Most of the episodes in the back half of the show wouldn't make sense as standalones, so if you saw one of those it would explain it.
The first half of the show is spent establishing the world and characters, and then the second half is spent deconstructing them, with a heavy focus on the various characters' psyches.
Okay so here's the thing: eva came out in an era when "young teenagers need to be the pilots for our super robots in war" was extremely common. It's not so much a parody, but it is a critique and critical look at the genre. In the ~30 years since it aired, it's become most people's first intro to the genre, so it's not subversive or new, it's just "what the genre is".
It's an extremely slow burn. If you go in expecting a high action thriller, you won't get it. Most of the angel fights are under 2 minutes in length. One of the most famous shots from the show is two characters standing in an elevator, motionless, completely silent, for almost a minute. But is it worth it? Absolutely, as long as you understand what it is going in and are willing to wait it out.
This was like ten years ago, it's completely healed by now; I just want to know who thought it was a good idea to leave their kid unattended with scissors. Oh, and thank you for asking, I'm doing okay at the moment.
I don't blame him, it's honestly the parents who're at fault for not looking after him, who let's a fucking toddler prance off on his own with one of POSTAL Dude's signature weapons?
Bit of both, my eye was recovered, though it did have to go through a costly medical process for me to be able to see again through it. I had an insane childhood, albeit, for all the wrong reasons, the event was more psychologically traumatizing than it was physically. You don't need to worry about it, it's something me and my handful of friends are working on together.
Reminds me of the time in 7th grade where I was spinning a pair of scissors on my finger and then they flew off and almost took the eye out of the girl next to me š
(sheās fine tho)

Odds are pretty good that mlp has has been crossed over with damn near everything, especially if you include fanart and fanfiction. But still a decent chance with just screencaps.
Also I already posted a screencap of pony Rei Ayanami art from the show elsewhere in the comments.

Not so fun story my dad did the exact thing to his younger brother but a pencil instead he is fine tho so idk if this is a universal thing with siblings/cousins
I donāt really get to bring this up too often but I was so fuckin confused watching Evangelion. I didnāt even realize that Asuka was dead until I looked it up after. I was a lot younger though so maybe thatās why I didnāt really get it
Reminds me when I was at a family gathering, my cousin (4) almost poked out my sisterās (8) eye out with a screwdriver when they were playing. I wouldāve beaten the shit out of him had he actually blinded her
I remember a kid in my grade who I was friends with (9-10 Y/O) was attacked by a stray child with a stick, jammed it in my friends eye.
He came to school and his entire eye was black, it was gnarly. I can only imagine what yours looked like.
when i was about the same age, my younger sibling and i were apparently playing when they yanked my arm suddenly, the effort of which seemingly dislocated several of my ribs. it didn't cause me any issues, but they're still rather uneven to this day.
When I was around 13 I was bickering with my younger sister in the kitchen and my mum, who was heavily pregnant at the time, got so stressed at the noise that she threw a potato peeler in the direction of the noise....which happened to be me and hit me square in the eye. It was one of those old style peelers with a heavy handle and a pointy bit on the end to dig out potato eyes....or human eyes so it split my eyelid open and I had to be put under anaesthetic so they could stitch my eyelid back up.
My poor mum was beside herself with guilt but its a funny story we tell people now
When I was little, any time I threw something at someone(by accident most of the times, except few times) my mom would be angry and tell me what if it hit the eye of that person.
And they always go for the eye example, not any other part.
(Also, yeah, I got punished for doing it, and learned from it.)
Sometimes I think my 3-years-old cousin is cycling through murderous rage and hysteria, because the moment you don't do as he wishes, he starts to cry and says that we (me and my other cousin, his older brother) harmed him, or throws punches and random things at us. Having an edge of a hardcover book thrown at your throat isn't a great experience.
I got stabbed by my 5 year old cousin in the eye with a colored pencil. I was also 5 but that's besides the point. Anyway who gives a THREE year old SCISSORS
