-The .MOV series (and Jappleack), the Mentally Advanced Series, Friendship is Witchcraft, many tumblr blogs; all parody. They don't draw much from the original source, other than basic character models, candy colored equines, and a few personality quirks. Sometimes they do borrow the show's tone, but not always.
-I guess what makes projects like Double Rainboom unique is how un-unique they are. They're intended to be fanmade episodes, so, what they're trying for is exactness. This... isn't something we see much. Things like "Picture Perfect Pony" work well, because it fits in with Photo Finish's personality, and it feels like part of the show's universe. The problem with a whole episode is drawing lines. What point does homage become parody? When do references to fanon or memes start to corrupt the idea of the show? Ask blogs that stay true to their characters work well because they have material to draw from; other bloggers. If they have enough people who know what the pineapple they're doing working on it, then it could be well done.
The TRUE Bottom Line:
------------------------------
Perfection...god how I hate that word. And I know quite a number of people hate it as well. Again, everything you just said led me to the conclusion of "perfection." .Mov series, Veggie, CSI, Mystery, Ezyte,Pixel. They wren't looking for that. THIS. SHOW. IS.
HOW MANY BUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT? The show doesn't have to be perfect, regardless if it is your proclaimed "homage" and whatnot, that doesn't mean they have to mock every. single. bucking. detail in their animations. I KNOW IT'S JUST A FAN-MADE EP, but for the love of Celestia, they don't have to FREAKING PHOTOCOPY EVERY. SINGLE. THING.
Now please, can I go to sleep!?
Main MAIN Point:Buck. Perfection.
