FREELANCE.
WRITER.
He or any other writer is not contractually obligated to only say nice things about Hasbro. He won’t get “fired” if he says Hasbro is an evil company who shackles its employees and whips them if they disagree with the show’s direction, because Hasbro/DHX doesn’t hold his contract anyway. If he grows disconcerted with the show’s direction he can just give Hasbro the finger on and start writing for different studios. Because that’s what his line of work means.
It depends on the degree, is what I’m saying. If an addition blends in with established show dynamics and continuity I’m for it, but if something noticeably feels awkward and seems to only be there for the sake of being there, I’m against it. I’m doing my best to withold judgement on the Twilicorn business until its aired, but it does have the potential to make things feel VERY off if not handled well.
Yeah I knew it was something along those lines, thanks for clearing it up.
They lost the rights to most G1 ponies, hence why this year will be quiet despite it being the 30th anniversary of the franchise.
Says the man with no name…
I think it can often help, being told to work a character in. It helps keep things interesting.
Didn’t Hasbro let the copyright to Firefly expire by accident and that’s why they couldn’t use her?
That argument doesn’t really improve my opinion of intervention, seeing as I don’t really like the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo I like, but when they start crusading their IQ plummets and they start distracting from the Mane 6).
Furthermore, I would argue that intervention in the form of “see if you can work in this character” is different from the major changes that are the source of worry. Obviously we have to wait and see and should’t preemptively declare the show dead, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be a bit nervous about major changes that are born out of business decisions rather than story development.
g4 rainbow was supposed to be firefly
They still gave them a list and said “This is what you can call the characters.”
They were given total autonomy on what to do with them. Compare G3 Rainbow Dash to G4 Rainbow Dash, for instance.
(except common sense)
Pretty sure that Lauren didn’t want the CMCs to be in the show with the Mane 6 at all first, and then wanted to give them their marks the first episode in which they met and Hasbro said that they had to be like how they are.
Intervention is intervention. Don’t make it seem like Hasbro had no clue what was going on, they’ve been intervening throughout the entire series.
Go to the store and buy yourself a sense of humor.
But all of those things were characters that the staff got to shape as part of the FiMverse from the beginning, not changes imposed on existing characters.
Yeah, he hates working on LPS. That’s why he uses his real name on it.
he could quit anytime he wanted if he really hated things
I still like him.
If he really hated writing for Hasbro shows, he’d just leave. If he thought Hasbro was tyrannical, he wouldn’t write for them.
