GIRL’S NIGHT! GIRL’S NIGHT!

I'm gonna be the 'UM ACTUALLY' nerd and simply state that the the My Little Pony show that everyone used to freak out about was G4. It ran across much of the 10s. Each of the Mane Six had their own VAs, Lauren Faust (of Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends fame) directed the first couple of seasons, it had a shit-ton of musical numbers, John de Lancie voiced one of the most popular badbois/antivillains, furries loved it - it was a whole thing. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past two decades, you can't have avoided coming across MLP G4 on the Internet.

OSP

Not to um actually YOUR um actually, but while you're right that I goofed and this was Generation 4, Andrea Libman voiced both Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, and Ashleigh Ball voiced both Rainbow Dash and Applejack, so technically not every member of the mane six had their own dedicated VA. -R

William Warren

Can confirm the Mummy 1999 is the perfect film (not biased)

Eric Stovall

Red: Check out the new Transformers comic done by Skybound. Fewer characters, humans are actually important, and it's DARK BUT GOOD!! Sophia: Her transformation (in this particular subject) of becoming ANY 80's parent who took their obsessed kid to see Transformers in theaters to make them happy and just smiled and nodded through the whole thing without picking up the plot at all is GREAT, but we all have moments like that. Magenta:........................you do you.

Indigo, I'm so curious what system you're using for the magical girls one shot. Is it Thirsty Sword Lesbians, early access to Soldier Lune, or something else?

It’s been a while since I’ve rewatched the 86 transformers movie, but I’m like 95% certain The Touch only plays twice. One time when Optimus comes in during the big fight at the start, and the second time when Hot Rod becomes Rodimus Prime at the end.

Indigo has somehow mixed together "Dare" and "The Touch" from the transformers movie. It is however both stan bush, the same vibe and my jam so I'm probably not the best judge here.

Legotron123

Ok no I see what happened. Indigo got some of the other 80s rocks songs mixed up with the touch (which to be fair is easy, cause a lot of them do sound very similar), cause at one point she mentions The Touch playing during Hot Rods first scene, when that’s actually Dare.

Okay Indigo describing Transformers is one of the funniest thing ever.

PinDaGreat

I am once again jumpscared by the Disney XD marvel cartoons I've been hyperfixating on for the last few years coming up in this pod

Oh, yeah, that's right! My bad. 😋 By the by, I realize in hindsight my comment comes off as snippy, apologies for that, not at all what I intended. Oh, I just remembered: did any of you ever watch Transformers Prime finale movie? It got Unicron as the big bad, passing on the proud legacy of the first movie. Seems every subsequent Transformers series has them fighting Unicron as part of the big finale.

I just remembered that MLP G4 and the OG Transformers movie have something in common: Weird Al Yankovic showed up in both of them. Ain't that neat. 🙂

Completely understand Indigo and the extra work around now. Even the sudden dropoff once January hits. It's peak season for FedEx... Which means mandatory extra days, starting earlier and ending later

Jason Veevaert

WHAT YOU CARE NOT FOR THE TOUCH?!?!?! Eh, you do you. In all seriousness, the battle of Autobot city is legitimately awesome if you know the context!

Jason Veevaert

I think there’s…26-30 female transformers added over the years?

Jason Veevaert

Weird Al was also Wreak-Gar on Transformers Animated, which didn’t have any Unicron in it!

Jason Veevaert

Ok just checked the TFwiki, little over 300 (named) female transformers introduced over different continuities.

Red: "I don't mess with any of that NERD shit." *spongebob title card* Ten minutes later~ Red: "Yeah, send that shit to Rodimus Prime immediately!"

Transformers: The Movie was the first Transformers I saw, in the theater! A friend talked me into going. I also didn't get *why* certain things were a big deal, but I knew from the cheers that they *were* a big deal. Bad-guy boom box had cassette minions in the series, but apparently the movie was the first time good-guy boom box got cassettes of his own. The crowd went wild! Even not knowing what was going on, the energy was great. Still, you gotta love seeing Eric Idle as a pile of junk, Leonard Nimoy as an insane robot, and Orson Wells as a planet! (And I think the guy who played Hot Rod was in the Brat Pack or something….) As for the music, they had heavy metal for the Decepticon attacks! They had Weird Al for the junk guys! Yeah, "Dare" and "The Touch" were too much alike, but it was *not* ALL "The Touch."

It's so wild knowing more about one of the media properties being geeked out about on the AASS for once, Transformers the Movie is, like, the liquid cocaine of sheer nostalgia for me, so hearing Indigo describe everyone(almost all of whom die immediately in the first 10-15 min of the movie) and know so many of their names off the top of my head is a fun experience. Even then tho, I'm not a huge enough G1 Transformers fan to know all their names since they absolutely did not name most of the soon to be dead out-loud at the start of the movie. Indigo cannot be blamed for her dislike of the movie cause it really does start out of nowhere after season one of the show and murder everyone so that they could roll out a new toyline. I am sad to hear that the pure distillation of every single 80's Power Ballad that is Stan Bush's The Touch is such a traumatically negative experience for her. It's practically perfectly engineered to its purpose of being a badass, ass kicking song. The old man telling the stories was Kup(I think that's the spelling anyway), and yes Weird Al Yankovic's Dare to Be Stupid featured with the Junkitrons, and Poor Ultra Magnus just being all down on himself for not being a good leader and then exploding. At least the dinobots survived! Grimlock King!

MageKiton

Especially after Jelloapocalypse roasted One Piece for its sexism during a charity livestream (I disagreed on his opinions about recent seasons being bad relative to ones he probably has nostalgia for, but opinions differ and it sounds like he was just tired of the series), I seriously doubt that anyone on the OSP crew wants or needs to see One Piece. I certainly won't defend Oda about his out-loud and blatant sexism to promote the series to someone who is already not interested in it. I will say that while his designs are throughly objectifying to women and he admits as much, shonen anime feels like such a low bar of positive female representation that I remember thinking that Oda actually wasn't as bad as, say, Naruto (Kishimoto basically hating writing for his female lead and screwing over most of the women, and creating a more or less literal perfect doormat fangirl character for Naruto to marry, and making all the dozens of folded layers of evil machinations at the end be all some heretofore completely unseen mythical woman the real bad guy all along...) but yeah, even then, not worth pushing someone with no interest and ADHD to watch it. The more people try to get her to watch, the more she won't just to spite people. I think there's a lot of good stuff in One Piece, but it's never gonna be for everyone. Just leave it be

MageKiton

There's apparently some really good ones in the IDW Transformers comics I really really need to get back to reading

MageKiton

Yeah, but unfortunately, as pointed out, that's not a good argument to make to someone who has already analyzed the movie on its own. Se already recognized in the aass that she can understand why people would love it, but it just didn't work for her, and that's ok. Hate to see it happen, but perfectly understandable

MageKiton

If I remember correctly, someone once described DARE as all the same power chords from THE TOUCH but played in reverse, or something like that. Her confusion is pretty understandable for someone who was watching for the first time and struggling to follow along with the absolutely hectic Battle of Autobot City where (almost) everyone we knew and loved from season one died ceremoniously (outside of Optimus Prime, of course)

Ornithorhynchidae

I have ADHD, I fail to see your point in that regard. And Robin and Nami are some of the best written characters in the whole series. But really my reasoning is just that its so huge and influential on basically all modern shonen, and is the most successful graphic novel written by a single author by a huge margin. Its a modern epic and Red's whole thing is literary analysis, leaving it unread is like doing media analysis on Superhero fiction and never reading or watching anything Spider-Man or Superman related

Gabriel

Old veteran transformer: Sgt. KUP Good guy sounds guy: Blaster Intermediate Matrix Holder: Ultra Magnus

Jason Veevaert

Oh yeah, the likes of Windblade, Chromia, Nautica, Arcee (post spotlight) Alierion and others are great!

Jason Veevaert

Season 2, the kids got at least 3 years of the status quo before the movie. Although the movie did begin production after season 1 if that’s what you meant.

Xavier Illa

I am sorry to put this idea on the air, Red, but i need Magenta to do a Yugioh detail diatribe

Hunter Mccarraher

Generator Rex and Clone Wars were the shows I watched as a kid and realized "Oh damn, these guys are actually dying"
