Plus look at this (while there currently no of the original scene of this in derpibooru but you you are going to remember the original) big mac throwing them all at once, and it’s show that big mac is a lot stronger than he seems.
your current filter.Well professional boxer punch release more energy than a 9mm Bullet, a 9mm bullet release about 800 joules while the punch of professioal boxer can release up to 1200 joules even 1800 joule and we know that 9mm bullet can do more damage than professional boxer punch, so she probably focusing her force to small point that can break the rock like a jackhammer. also if thinking about this as proof of her strength.
your current filter.Think again look at the angle of the rock descending it clearly losing it’s kinetic energy, so where the 16 kiloton tnt come from?, either it’s from hitting a TNT factory and setting the chain reaction or it’s using a cartoon physic to disobey some the know laws of physic like 1st law of thermodynamic.

i know that the blue angels are made of active military pilots
i said as the group itself, with the blue planes and all, are not called out to active combat
the Blue Angels is a stunt group, not a fighting force
It’s made up of trained combat fighter pilots from the ranks of the US Navy and US Marine Corps, who are required to have a considerable number of carrier launches/landings. The only difference on that score is that in time of war, Blue Angels pilots go back to their combat units and fight, while the Wonderbolts fight as a unit.

But comics are still canon, so they can be used as sources
They can be used as sources for the comics. The comics and the show take place in different continuities, you can’t make any valid assertions about one from information in the other.
@DragonWraith
name one single stallion in a position of general authority who’s position isn’t contingent upon his connections to a mare
Captain Shining Armor presumably didn’t get his commission because his little sister’s babysitter had a crush on him; Sheriff Silverstar didn’t have any mare deputies and Appleloosa didn’t appear to have a mayor; King Sombra is a bad example; many of the delegates in Princess Spike– including the Manehattan Delegate– were stallions; several former leaders of the Wonderbolts were stallions. Pull back to the continent rather than the nation and Chief Thunderhooves and Dragon Lord Torch may have had plucky daughters, but neither was deriving his power from them.
NSFW, consider yourself warned.
“ No, no, no, no, no, no, yes! “
The Blue Angels are a fighting force doing a series of revolving 2-year rotation as a stunt group. Each year three Blue Angels pilots rotate back to combat squadrons, and three members of combat squadrons rotate in for two years as Blue Angels. Same with the US Air Force Thunderbirds. There’s a difference in the planes though. The Thunderbirds’ aircraft are combat-capable F-16s that have had the canon replaced with a smoke dispenser, and been given a new paint job. It takes only 3 days to convert them back to combat aircraft, most of which is because they have to be repainted. Unlike the Thunderbirds, the Blue Angels don’t use combat-capable aircraft. Carrier landings wear out parts used for landing faster than the parts used for flying, so the Navy makes use of planes that are still capable of acrobatic flight, but at the end of their carrier landing life. They’re also more extensively modified than the Thunderbirds’ F-16s due to differences in how the planes handle.
Suit yourself. I doubt we’d ever reach a mutual conclusion at this rate anyway, this would just keep dragging on. And personally, I’m exhausted. Not just from this, but the large list of other large arguments I’ve been in throughout the past few weeks too. Quite stressful.
>the town had a sheriff and a bunch of deputized ponies
Pretty typical for the whole wild-west theme. I’d say everything turned out just fine though, and things were resolved peacefully. And if the need arose, of course they’d receive assistance from law enforcement elsewhere.
>the hearthswarming episode
Irrelevant. It’s obvious things weren’t quite so nice before Equestria, but after it’s founding, things definitely got good and the ponies learned to cooperate and get along and be friends and so on. Hearth’s Warming Eve had a gloomy start, but it was a story about things getting better and hope and friendship and all those nice fuzzy things, leading into the founding of Equestria.
We’re talking about modern Equestria, not what essentially amounted to the pony medieval/dark ages. The situation is far, far different, and far, far better, with a lot of good to be said, not to mention benevolent, wise leaders who care for all their subjects. And one of the biggest lessons Equestria was founded on was to value friendship and love, and treating the other races as equals. Among other nice lessons.
>it happens. especially on pics like this that were meant to incite debate.
Meh. I don’t think the pic was meant to incite all of this. I don’t know if @Background Pony #5C8F is actually OP, given the different number, but if so, even he requested this be taken down at this point. Not a terrible idea at all, honestly.
Anyway, it seems pretty clear that we very strongly disagree on a lot of things, likely in ways that are irreconcilable.
Edited
that said, i’m kind of bored now. i’m going to go see what’s on tv.
whether or not it’s official is a moot point. it’s still happening.
yeah, but there was no law enforcement there. equestria has two types. guards (pictured above) and as of the maud episode actual police officers:
your current filter.@Background Pony #738D
actually, that line has been crossed even with the ponies. the hearthswarming episode with the windigoes had the three locked in what amounted to a race war where the earth ponies were clearly subservient to the other two. they are not afraid to get dark when they want to; it’s part of the appeal with the show to be honest.
@Background Pony #738D
it happens. especially on pics like this that were meant to incite debate. honestly i really enjoy it; it’s a lot of fun to pick people’s brains and see how others percieve the show. i’m actually personally okay with it too (as far as i’m personally concerned i couldn’t care less when people say mean things to me online), but as long as i have that little “site assistant” banner under my name i have to enforce the rules.
But overanalysis is fun, and a good, civil debate (which this thread is… mostly) is downright invigorating.
What is with you people and overanlyzing shit? The people who made it haven’t though this out; whatever answer you give as to why something is the way it is is not likely to be any more valid than a different answer. A lot of it can easily be tied back to out of universe reasons, such as this being a show targeted at little girls… It’s not meant to be at all realistic in portraying anything. Don’t read in absurd implications that were clearly never intended; that’s just dumb.
Also, what is with Lucky Shot starting reasonable and then saying things worthy of a few smacks? Why does he do that so often?
@DanielTepesKraus
If that picture counts, than I get to count this:
your current filter.I’m sure the people who wrote it had equal intentions in regards to both, so they should both count equally. 7 alicorns… or 5. Your choice.
Yes, my apologies for the usage of said word, I could have gotten the same effect across with words that were less insulting, most likely.
@Background Pony #5C8F
Not a bad idea to have it taken down.
Starlights little village was hardly an official Equestrian town, it was more her personal little project. The Mane 6 weren’t even aware it existed at first, were they?
>we’ve seen the mob torches and pitchforks justice.
Those things can easily spring up in areas with law enforcement, it even happens in real life too, or at least used to, it seems not as much of that sort of thing happens anymore, so I don’t know what you mean to imply. It’s not like we’ve seen them end in violence either.
>i said “lesser citizens”, not slavery.
Still pretty evil and awful, would never happen. That’s crossing a line that simply wouldn’t be crossed in MLP, period.
also, me being “official” and “site assistant” for a minute, i will remind everyone in the thread that “having a bad day” doesn’t mean you can break our most important rule #0: BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER.
better try at TvTropesand now it’s just plain drama.>there are entire regions of equestria that suffer greatly due to the little or no intervention from the government
>Not really.
azuiwhatever’s region, starlight’s jonestown village.
>there are entire regions with absolutely no official law enforcement
>How do you know?
we’ve seen the mob torches and pitchforks justice.
>it’s still lesser citizens
>No, it’s not. Bottom line is that slavery is downright evil
i said “lesser citizens”, not slavery.
>It’s enough that arguments can be made to the effect
Nope, it’s not. I’ve already gone through a multitude of reasons why. I don’t intend to type through them again.
>calling people of differing opinions “delusional”
It’s definitely not nice to use personal insults, and I’d probably be better off finding a better wording, but it’s more a way to get a point across more firmly than anything. It doesn’t help that I was having a fairly bad day even before this thread, though.
>there are entire regions of equestria that suffer greatly due to the little or no intervention from the government
Not really. The bigger cities are usually more developed technology-wise, but everyone has a decent standard of living and there’s plenty of intervention where needed.
>there are entire regions with absolutely no official law enforcement
How do you know? We didn’t see law enforcement in Manehattan until very recently, but that didn’t mean it was ever likely it didn’t exist.
The show is kinda focused on the exploits of the Mane 7 and CMC though, so we get to see them doing a lot of stuff. Rank and file guards and police ponies? Not so much. I’m sure they do a lot, but like Stormtroopers in Star Wars, they don’t solve everything on their own.
>it’s still lesser citizens
No, it’s not. Bottom line is that slavery is downright evil and Fallout:Equestria tier levels of grimdark, so the idea being practiced by ponies completely and utterly nonsensical. The deal with Cows and Sheep can indeed be written off as a mere gag, as it’s a minor detail that would contradict literally everything else in the show. Gonna be blunt again, but you’re downright crazy if you believe that slavery or anything similar is a thing in Equestria, end of story.
And no, Spike is Twilight’s #1 assistant, is like a little brother, and can quit or do what he wants at any time (within reason, he’s technically a minor), but chooses to stay because Ponyville is his home and the ponies are his friends/family. The writers don’t always do as well as they could with him, believe me, I can see that much, but he’s had his great moments in the show and he’s clearly surrounded by his friends.
@DaKurgan
He is their equal, he’s sapient. They do treat him as an equal. They’re his good friends, and are like a little brother to Twilight.
He IS a minor though, which can be considered. He’s an equal to them, but being a minor has it’s limitations, I’m sure, even if he is generally pretty responsible and such for someone his age.
Edited
sort of. for one work to be canon with another, they have to take place in the same timeline with the same events having happened.
so the show comes along and an event happens. the comics will follow that and the event will have happened in the comic’s storyline as well. example being picking up after chrysalis was sent flying and continuing the story.
however when the comics come along and an event happens, the show doesn’t follow it and the event never happened in the show’s timeline. example being sombra’s reformation. when that comic was released he wasn’t suddenly a good guy in season 6.
the fact that the comics tailor themselves to suit the events of the show is basically proof of this. in fact, i have a sneaking suspicion that the comics had chrysalis’s fiendship issue end with her escaping imprisonment because they suspect (or possibly have been informed) that chrysalis will reappear in season 6. that way it won’t end on a snag or… whatever tv tropes calls it.
at best, the comics are an alternate or expanded universe. now this likely mostly has to do with the show wanting to be as self-contained as possible to avoid pissing off people who don’t read the comics. admit it: if the next episode aired and rarity was now abruptly half-snake because she was cursed by some villain in some side novel you didn’t even know existed, you’d be angry. that said, the comics operating entirely on their own, doing things the show doesn’t do, being written and drawn by an entirely different group that’s not even employed by hasbro, and having no influence on the show’s timeline, is precisely what “non-canon” means.
It’s enough that arguments can be made to the effect. And calling people of differing opinions “delusional” because they don’t follow your interpretation is not cool either.
I see. As mentioned multiple times, it’s a female focused show, screentime wise, and Hasbro wants to sell toys to little girls, so it’s no real surprise the show gives more screentime and insight into the female characters; I just don’t think that means any sort of dominance or bias in-universe, as everything we’ve seen points towards gender-equality and all the other stuff I’ve been ranting about.
And of course, with side characters, it’s actually pretty even, screentime-wise, especially in more recent seasons.
I really want that Celestia episode, though. Could be interesting and fun. DHX pls ;(
>Spike
>’part of the gang’. He’s their equal.
Not really. I don’t agree with Daniel’s opinion that Spike is MLP’s Kunta Kinte. But he is not equal to the girls, they don’t treat him like one. That much is clear.
Not that I think a group of older women should a little boy as a peer, mind you.
