A Buck to the Face - Rainbow Rocks

Join Skan120, Past Analysis, Deverer and Brawny Buck as they go on a cinematographic journey through the tale of "Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks." They laughed, they cried, they took it way too seriously. They may not have come back from the journey unscathed, but they definitely came back closer as friends. ...Or it's just four guys ranting in a movie theater, likely aggravating whoever else happened to be in there. We'll never really know. Skan120: 2015-03-03 22:23:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Brony Debates - Understanding Characterization

Greetings, Since 2012, there have been a lot of different instances where one of the show's characters has been accused of having an "out of character moment." While it can be easy to see where they're coming from, it's certainly not always the case. I'd like to address just a few of the bigger ones today. I believe that by asking the right questions and using the proper analytical tools, then we can get to the bottom of what's truly going on in the characterization. Let's start with the preten...

FiMfictions - Taking Another Career Option

Taking Another Career Option by DJLowrider: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22338... Greetings, A little while ago, SephReunion123 asked me to review this story. After reading it a couple times, I found it mildly enjoyable but severely lacking in small things that would make it much better. Be sure to let me know what you think. Upon looking into DJLowrider's page, I've found that he has a number of other stories ...

Moral of the Story - Putting Your Hoof Down

Greetings, In this installment, I take a look at "Putting Your Hoof Down" and offer some thoughts on the reasons people might allow themselves to tolerate being treated this way, why it's unhealthy and offer a couple potential solutions. However, should this be applicable to you and you decide to make these changes; be wary of letting that pent up emotion come out in unhealthy ways. Otherwise, you'll do more harm than good. Back when this episode first aired, I was too busy laughing at the sl...

A Buck to the Face - Putting Your Hoof Down

You know you have a problem when a rabbit can beat you up and throw you out of your own house. So did Fluttershy. That's how this episode started, after all. But I'd tell her the same thing I told the timid little girl I used to work with at a farm. You've just got to reach in over the rabbit's head and grab him by the scruff. Back then I adjusted a phrase and said, "you've got to keep the bunny hand strong." I'm ashamed of myself for having put it that way. Something similar can be applied to ...

Progress Vlog 2

Greetings, It's been a while since I've done one of these and I'm sorry for that. Going into the new year, I have a new plan. Hopefully it will work. Wish me luck. I'm eternally grateful for all of the support that you've been giving me so far. We haven't seen much of the crafting that I've wanted to do for lack of tools. But the support I've been getting here has been keeping me on the road so I can go to where I might find these opportunities.

Brony Debates - Michael Morones & Adam Smith

Greetings, Today we're discussing two bronies who have received media attention for their bullying-induced suicides. I pose my thoughts on the responsibility that everyone shares in these situations. With everyone being the bullies, the victims and the bystanders (teachers, friends, family, other onlookers) alike. Be sure to let me know what you think.

Moral of the Story - Lesson Zero

Greetings, In this episode, we take a look at the importance of not only taking the worries of our friends seriously but being able to examine the scope of the challenges we face from a realistic perspective to keep our heads on straight while we solve the problem. Problems don't just go away. Even if they are small in reality, we shouldn't be telling people to not worry about them, especially if they're losing their minds over it. However, we can try to diffuse the situation and calm them dow...

A Buck to the Face - Lesson Zero

All things considered, Twilight held herself up pretty well in most events leading up to this. While the severity of the situation may not have been on par with Nightmare Moon, parasprite infestation, hydras, dragons, the Grand Galloping Gala and Discord; it was certainly enough to be the final straw that broke the horse's back (pun intended). Thus, sanity-break Twilight hilariousness. Although Brawny's mother is a small opera singer from Manehattan and living with three rugged men twice her si...

A Buck to the Face - Suited For Success

For as hard as I laugh at this episode, I had forgotten until I started making this video exactly how much I had to rant at the shenanigans of the main six in this one. It's been three years and Rarity's mental breakdown still makes me split my sides. Just about any time the characters snap or become slapstick victims is when I start really enjoying the show on its most basic levels. I'm pretty sure that makes me a bad person. Except when Pinkie Pie freaks out. That's just plain scary. The...

Moral of the Story - Suited For Success

Greetings, Today, I'd like you to consider the implications of rejecting a gift that was generously made for you by a friend. I also examine what it's like to change yourself to try to please others and the consequence of not standing by what you believe in or giving into peer pressure for the wrong reasons. Be sure to let me know what you think. I almost gave up on this video because I was having trouble finding the words to all of this. Partially because of Digibrony and Bronycurious. If...

Moral of the Story - Green Isn't Your Color

Greetings, In this installment, I examine the practicality of being trustworthy with our friends' secrets. I also discuss my thoughts on why secrets exist, need to be kept and when it's better to not keep them as well as the thin line between helping to mediate between friends and not being trustworthy when they trusted you. Remember that the key is to study situations and find the best solution. Don't rush to a conclusion. Don't act selfishly while trying to help. There's another level of tr...

A Buck to the Face - Green Isn't Your Color

Photo Finish and I have a lot in common in that it's a serious pain in the neck to work for either of us. Although, we do look for different types of aesthetics in our photography and I'm a lot less likely to make my coworkers carry me about. I also have a lot in common with Twilight Sparkle through this episode. Although I'm a lot better at keeping secrets when I have to, I think it can be quite frustrating. Especially when it would likely be better to spill the beans to both parties. If it ha...

FiMfictions - Sunny Skies All Day Long

Sunny Skies All Day Long by PhantomFox: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/20685... Today I'm tackling one of the best FiMfiction suggestions I've received thus far. Though some improvements to the style could be made, it's a very pleasant story that I hope you'll take the time to read. Be sure to let me know what you think. The rest of PhantomFox's stories are pretty similar in terms of overall quality. So I can def...

A Buck to the Face - A Canterlot Wedding

After a long theatre tour as a techie, Brawny takes a vacation to visit his loved ones. Much to his surprise, his older brother (Buck Wilde) is also in town for a visit. What would have been an uneventful day quickly devolves into swinging steel as the two fencers struggle to answer the most important question of the day - who gets to pick the movie once they're done working out? Brawny hopes to win their match and challenge Buck's odd sense of humor and tastes with something more innocent. This...

Brony Debates - What Makes Good Analysis

Greetings, The analysis and commentary community is currently quite saturated and tends to get a little repetitive. The purpose of this video is to encourage those who are already producing this kind of content to involve themselves on a higher level to see if they can become more distinguished and original. That way, it'll be worth having a hundred different analysts. It also should discourage those who want to get into analysis with the intention of doing the same as everyone else - unless ...
