I think it just coincidence.
Is that game where he got the title? Just replace the A with the O?
@Entrinity
I got to say: Its second episode (released a few weeks ago) redeemed the series in my eyes, but it still feels kind of subpar.
Don’t knock it ‘til you tried it, friend. The video’s good, trust me. Something tells me we’ll get to see Pondonia itself in the next episode.
There’s a link below all the tags.
I think it’s less to do with being starved and more to do with feeling validated.
The guy in question probably isn’t a brony, and claims he wasn’t expecting to get as much reception on the video as he did. He’s a classic animator near the top of the food chain in an art career (just not the upper crust with character design). And he chose to spend time and energy creating this video.
And what’s wrong with that? The fandom can’t enjoy a bit of fan animations? We can’t appreciate quality videos? What’s your point here? That the fandom should only accept canon stuff or that we’re so desperate we’ll watch anything?
Sorry, sir, but that’s not correct. …Athena actually did something. What did Celestia do?
It’s okay, I think I’m seeing 26K views from where I’m viewing it.
Hopefully we get answers to all of this soon.
I know they do it to political videos all the time. This is the first time I’ve seen it happen on a non political video.
The fact that views can disappear on a video… YouTube really should get it together.
Must be a glitch, or something. It didn’t happen with me.

What we got is still good, though. The story’s okay at worst, but the animation? Godlike.

Still could be, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t take him to just now to come up with this concept.
I think at the very least, there’s some strong evidence to the parody attempt that he didn’t intend to be this popular. The crown on the villain’s head bears striking resemblance to Queen Chrysalis’ (and I’m thinking about making a comic about that), a few of the sounds and effects, and of course the body design, are primarily from G4 MLP and their fan vids.
Heck, add green to the hair and a long horn to Athena and you’ve got Princess Celestia.
That it’s completely and 100% accidental and coincidence that we’re recognizing his material as MLP OC character work I think stretches it too much. While he might’ve not actually intended to base his creation on G4 to gain brony viewer support, we can’t deny the similarities and inspiration used.
That’s quite a late response to the brony community if you ask me. And were those his true intentions behind the creation of that video?
