chat with dogman - wtf how does time work

11:33 PM - Kamarada RTCitia: you know i think the equestrians have a different measure of time from us
11:35 PM - Kamarada RTCitia: it'd actually explain quite a few things
Monday, June 18, 2012
12:08 AM - Dogman328: ya
12:09 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: probably 1 year in our time is 2 in theirs
12:10 AM - Dogman328: hmm
12:10 AM - Dogman328: my little dashie had a really strange one
12:10 AM - Dogman328: 20 years in our time is only 20 days in theirs
12:13 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: although 1 yr earth time = 2 yrs equestrian time probably fits better
12:13 AM - Dogman328: yeah
12:15 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: since 40 years our time, just above a horse's average lifespan is equivalent to 80 of theirs, probably just about a pony's lifespan in equestria
12:16 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: although this would awkwardly place the transition from child to adult at about 12, i think
12:18 AM - Dogman328: yeah
12:18 AM - Dogman328: huh
12:19 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: well actually a filly stops being a filly at 5 so 10 technically
12:20 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: that's one of the wonky things about 1ey = 2eqy
12:21 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: but otherwise it's mostly believable
12:30 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: now that i think about it luna's episode probably could have been handed so much better
12:30 AM - Dogman328: no really
12:32 AM - Dogman328: if celestia had decided not to be an asshole, the entire plot would've been reduced
12:33 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: but since she did luna is now an insane and presumably schizophrenic and depressed god
12:33 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: but they never explore this ever
12:33 AM - Dogman328: yeah
12:34 AM - Dogman328: well they wouldn't want to depress the children who are supposed to be watching the show
12:34 AM - Dogman328: even though they do the obligatory "racism" episode
12:35 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: well they have no problems about scaring/scarring them
12:36 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: i don't see why depressing them is particularly worse
12:38 AM - Dogman328: because children have to be happy
12:38 AM - Dogman328: even though they won't be that happy for long anyway
12:39 AM - Dogman328: but they don't see the obvious plot holes, so it's fine in the producer's opinion
12:40 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: it's pretty sad there's still plotholes from s1 because of this
12:40 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: really glaring ones
12:41 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: maybe they shouldn't have done what they did in the pilot
12:42 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: but then i guess luna would essentially just be a one dimensional celestia recolor
12:42 AM - Dogman328: true
12:42 AM - Dogman328: they really should've given her a better plot
12:42 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: preferably one that's less depressing
12:46 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: because being taken over against your will, destroying everything you love, being returned to normal only to be apparently banished for no reason, taken over against your will again, then destroying everything again before returning to normal again and only getting "i missed you" and a hug as comfort is depressing as hell
12:47 AM - Dogman328: that's a really depressing plot for a kid's show
12:47 AM - Dogman328: honestly
12:47 AM - Dogman328: why did they think that was a good idea
12:47 AM - Kamarada RTCitia: and not to mention that everyone hates her or is afraid of her because of this, even thought it wasn't even really her fault
12:48 AM - Dogman328: it can be assumed that celestia made sure that everyone was convinced that it really was luna in control the whole time
