Legends of Equestria - Forum

What things have you guys noticed in the show that wasn't really pointed out but gives another layer to the episode or situation when you think about it?

For example, in the pilot, the threat was that Nightmare Moon would make night last forever. If you think about it, you realize that plants need light to grow and live. What happens if all of the plants die from having no sunlight? Exactly.

The cider episode. The Apple family lives on their farm. If the FlimFlam brothers took their farm, they'd also be taking their home!

If the changlings got away with taking over canterlot(probably spelled it wrong) we would see city after city fall to them and everypony would be cocooned to have their emotions sucked from them forever. 

The whole show actually has a rather... dark(?) backstory to it.
God of chaos making lives miserable, huge plagues of all sorts, Eternal Night almost happened twice, many near deaths actually, Celestia is outright feared beyond all belief by many ponies, rarity was almost enslaved (actually she was successfully slaved for all of five minutes...), the sheer number of guards is actually rather scary, the fact that Equestria has gotten threats is also rather iffy...
And for all we know Equestria is in fact on a nuked up planet that managed to partially recover and is only being kept alive because Celestia and Luna can keep it in orbit.
((Fixed a very minor typo that completely changed the meaning of the last sentence.

I think Equestria is actually a country, though. I've been thinking this even before the Hearthswarming Eve episode, which seems to have confirmed it, considering the ponies (depicted in the play) traveled from some other land to a better land and founded it as Equestria.

I meant to have an on there, between the fact and a. I'ma go fix it.

The farm was not part of the bargain.  It was the cider making business.  Sure, the cider keeps the farm up, but i never heard anything about betting the farm in a literal sense.

Also some fridge horror: *I* don't turn PONIES into stone! so Celestia, about that garden of pony statues...

Also: so i guess everypony in ponyville is a jerk at market unless stood up to?

Also: how does iron will know they were satisfied, and that his method didn't fail, causing doormats to pay anyways?

Also: it took THAT long to get that "no means no"!?

Also: apparentlies there are pennies in addition to bits.

Yeah, I meant "took their farm" as in causing the Apples to lose their farm. X3 Should've been clearer there. Still, though, if the Apples lose their farm, they lose their home. :c

i was also referring to the FFB's smehow assuming ownership of the property afer the contest.

Also: so if fluttershy had failed, Equestria would have starved?!

Also: wonderbolts fail at first response military.

Also: so the dragons stopped caring about the ruler of the sun?

Also: never mind, aparently the power to move the SUN ITSELF is easily defeated by an insect thing.

Also: maybe all those duplicated background ponies... Were CHANGELINGS?!

Also: so, what happens if surprisingly-vulnerable princesses were assassinated?

Cider is in no way an alchoholic drink its just apple juice now a days if its made in a brewery its somehow alchoholic I drink cider in real life.
Yes I am aware cider can be made alchoholic ,but how did they make it in the show?Mushed up apples the turned to juice its pretty much apple juice with different ingredients ,and rotten apples ,and twigs don't turn it into alcohol.

On topic:
Yes many episodes that face any types of danger are actually a threat to all life.
Dragonshy:If the dragons smoke continued it will block out the sun making no crops grow ,and nothing eating making no life on equestria.
The swarm of the century:If the parasprites continue to eat everything there will be no food for ponies at all everyone would starve while the parasprites make more of themselves which will also lead to a filled capacity of the land no matter how big equestria is if they werent stopped the parasprites would duplicate in a really fast time probably filling all of equestria in atleast a year tops.
There are many others ,but nopony would read this if I typed in every episode it happened in.

So was the letter that got thrown into the lava pit from Twilight's brother explaining about the marriage?

Yes actually without that letter none of the ponies would have got to Canterlot Twilight wouldnt have been able to doubt princess Cadence she will continue uninterfered taking shining armours love for her power making her the strongest being in equestria ,and after what happened in the episode when she attacked i'm sure taking over equestria will be for the worse to all ponies they may probably be imprisoned or killed by the changelings.

Like I said, horses eat rotten apples to get drunk sometimes in real life. :l The ponies were intent on keeping rotten apples out of their cider. Therefore, what if apple cider with rotten apples in it becomes alcoholic in the Pony Universe?

After all, when an apple is left to rot, it can ferment. How is alcohol made? Fermentation. How is wine made? Often letting juice from grapes ferment.
'Tis why most schools don't serve grape juice. At least, not here anyway.

i literally can't get the taste of bitter things out of my mouth for a while, and I hear alcohol is quite bitter.

anyways, on-topic:

so why exactly were ponies PULLING the train back in that one episode rather than using coal?

so, Dragon Scales are entirely thermally non-conducting and apparently cannot oxidize under any condition, and have an infinite melting point.  And yet they are removable with minimal pain.  And apparently removing a few isn't exactly harmful either.  So...

Why isn't the Royal Guard armored in it?

Because none of them are dovahpony? o_O Or it's just too dangerous to try to get scales from a dragon, considering they don't even respect Princess Celestia.

I wonder if Spike was a lost or stolen egg. Also, it seems weird that Spike doesn't have wings while a lot of the other dragons we've seen have wings. Is he from another region or is he a misfit?

maybe both, or a different species.

I like the idea of interconnected generations, and i think of spike as a descendent of Kenbroth

I didn't know about horses getting drunk with rotten apples sorry I thought about the real alcoholic cider.

Apple pies and anvils?  If that's not just for show, then i greatly fear for the future of the Equestrian military should open war break out.

Y'all just realized that Equestrians are nudists.

I knew this a long time ago.
It actually makes perfect sense, they have tough hide and fur, so why would they need clothing? It developed to protect out bodies and keep them warm, something they don't need at all. It's more of a status thing than anything else.

I read the 1st paragraph and then gave up... It's a cartoon, I don't want to think to deeply about it. It's an innocent program and thats why I like it. :P

Lets be honest, most males in cartoons end up acting like idiots, amazingly... Maybe I haven't watched that many cartoons, but females seem to be the only ones who can pull it off without seeming stupid. :P Or maybe its just MLP isn't a stupid cartoon and everything else is? :D

There's stuff in there about reverse sexism, racism, elitism, unicorn supremacy, etc, etc. lol

I only skimmed it, but just seeing how long it was made me laugh out loud x3 I can see how it could be fun to write something like that.

That's no more overthinking it than the rest of this thread, but that's okay.  :P

if you look at the hats/crowns that the pony leaders wore at the Three Tribes, you'll notice they're each threatening each other.

"I have wealth, and you don't."

"I have swords, and you don't."

"I have FOOD, and YOU DON'T."

And Fluttershy is actually extremely malevolent. This is what happens when people look into these things. :D

Rarity is a racist and an elitist :]

- Spike's animation is a bit awkward in winter wrap up song when he rides on Twilight, and he does "I dunno, lol" pony reaction in same scene.
- Changelings have look similar to ponies which means they're cursed or something like that, also we've 4 alicorns in two seasons, three princesses, one queen and royal family. I know Lauren told us there are no Celestia and Luna's parents, but seriously if there are some princes and princesses not directly connected to Celestia and Luna there is non-canon royal family line above(probably world creators).
- Zecora's quote in "Swarm of the century"

That's what I said somewhere else. lol Maybe they're like mutant flutterponies. Heehee.

so... did CANDACE invent the love poison?!

Oh yeah and Cadance is malevolent too... Using magic to make people love you, honestly...

and Luna was crying out of fear ovO

We were all crying out of fear..... wait what?

Clearly the ponies have tampered with the natural world too much, if they actually need to 'clean-up' winter, and Pegasi actually have to make it rain. Clearly promoting interference with the natural world.

Clearly.... actually... hmmm I repeat words a lot.

Oh and make the leaves fall in Autumn.... and take care of animals... what sort of sick world are they living in?

MLP IS POSTAPOCALYPTIC EARTH ovO  ALL THEIR TOOLS ARE MADE FOR HUMANS AFTER ALL!!

Oh and to top it off, their sun and moon don't even move naturally, I mean.... what the chuff?

As is apparent in the VERY FIRST EPISODE! If one of the princesses gets in a bad mood, they can destroy the entire world.

So clouds don't move, the sun doesn't move, the moon doesn't move, seasons don't change, animals can't care for themselves, there is a large millitary presence (with weapons), there is a Pink Pony, theres at least 2 malevolent ponies out there pretending to be do-gooders, theres 2 ponies who, at anytime, can decide to end the world, It's just all too much!

no motive.  It's not MEANT to do what it does, it just so happens to.  Maybe her motive was very much the same as the CMC's.  She IS quite a young Alicorn, after all.  Not nearly as much experience as Celestia, or even Luna, from the looks of it.

The clouds move by themselves ,and weather changes on its own the plants grow alone ,and its home to many monsters.Is there a barrier of magic allowing these things to happen?

so... did CANDACE invent the love poison?!

At first, I wondered if Discord invented the love poison so he could create more chaos, but now I wonder if the changelings invented it. Not sure why Cadence would invent it.

*heart* *pop* *ponies love each other*

As I understood Cadence's power, she sparks love, rather than creating love.. Like, if two ponies already love each other (like the pony couple in Twilight's flashback, and Shining Armor and Cadence herself) but seem to argue or have just forgotten the affection, Cadence is able to "remind" them, in lack of better word.. Love in itself, is a very powerful force, just like friendship, so I don't think it can be created out of thin air, like the Heart and Hooves day ep. implied, with the less-than-usefull potion.. It created an obsession, rather than actual love..

But what motive would she have? o.O For Discord, if the prince and princess are distracted, he can do whatever he wants without them trying to order retaliation. For the changelings, intense love like that would be like a gourmet meal.

no motive.  It's not MEANT to do what it does, it just so happens to.  Maybe her motive was very much the same as the CMC's.  She IS quite a young Alicorn, after all.  Not nearly as much experience as Celestia, or even Luna, from the looks of it.

Ah, I see. She was looking for her talent and accidentally invented a love poison instead of a love potion.

exactly!  she thinks she is the goddess of Love, but maybe it turns out she's actually the Goddess of Harmony?

the previous generations were ages of the world, and the technology being used was passed down from the humans, gnomes and witches of the first season!

they are all part of a imaginationery mind, but were created as an experiment to see how intelligent could develope. (and they are just inside an marble)

Getting back to more traditional implications:

The reason the Apple family relied so much on Zap Apple profits this year? Discord ruined this year's crops.  Corn gone, fields tunneled, flooded with chocolate milk, swarming with pests, apples gone.

Actually, Discord won first and took over the world, causing suffering throughout the world and forcing Celestia and Luna to retreat to the Forest Forever-Free and build the Castle of the Royal Sisters while unicorns took refuge in the tunnels under Canterlot Mountain.  Then the two Sisters rose up and used the Elements of Harmony together to finally turn Discord to stone.  The world, however, was still decimated from the reign of Discord, and for a while there were only three clans, constantly at war.  This brought about an endless winter as their feuds fed the Windigoes.  Eventually, the starvation killed off almost all the combatant ponies, forcing the remaining few to ally with one another, inadvertently creating the Fires of Friendship.  By the time they could leave the caves to which they retreated, there weren't enough unicorns to raise the sun, and so they called upon Celestia and Luna to lead them.  The Sisters have been leading ever since.

i... just love it  o_o

something awesome I read elsewhere:

They came from nowhere. At first I thought it was just a wind.
Or a new unicorn student flexing his magic muscle. Not of grand note.
However the tempo of the inequine howling had too distinct a pattern to it.
Then came the first time I saw them.
I believed them to be ghosts. Carrying their last memory of freezing to death.
But there was nothing equine of these spirits except their appearance.
Their cries will haunt my nightmares till the end of my days.

I don't know why they came to my settlement of all place. A few extra bright unicorns including myself.
But nothing of true meaning.

The first I saw them was an argument between two Earth ponies about charging the absurd prices they did to unicorns and pegasi to fellow Earth ponies.

I saw them again when an Earth pony riot broke when a mother unicorn was beaten to death and Pegasi swoop down to bring order in the most brutal of fashions. The storm became so horrid that the pegasi could not fly least their wings froze over, leaving them easier prey for the earth pony rioters. As her blood was left to freeze in the streets I noticed an Earth pony besides her with the same coloring as the foal in her forelegs. Mixed blood? Still I took pity on the small creature she held.

I only later realized the 'spirits' dispersed when I chose to take her foal as my own.

My town is isolated. Even rumor does not travel swift to and from here. I still fail to realize why they come here of all places.

My one colleague who would listen to me suggested they arrived on the shooting star several month previous. Such nonsense.

They came again, this time when a heated debate between two mages on whether Earth ponies had magic of their own. They were alone in the room when I left. When I came back, they were frozen solid, and those spirits were there, but quickly left. Their manner suggested indifference rather than fear.

Experimentation was needed. They haunt the very boarders of the town now. They are becoming less of a ghost story and more a cause for fear among my fellows and the earth pony workers and the pegasi enforcers.

An Earth screamed out at the top of his lungs that he wished all the unicorns and pegasi were dead before the pegasi descended on him. The ice storm had picked up again in minutes.

I have chosen not to inform Clover of her diluted blood. I see no reason why she need be burdened. In spite of her disability she has surpassed most of her peers. Incredible. I must review notes on other unicorns of diluted blood to see if this has happened before.

Spring. Summer. Autumn. It doesn't matter when, the ice storm comes repeatedly and more frequently.

The storm is not letting up this time and it grows progressive worse. The filly, Clover (I found the name on her blanket), was scared to leave the only home she's known, but I fear if I stay longer my research will be pointless and I might as well have not saved her from freezing to death in her mother's arms.

Shows of power are less and less effective at keeping the earth pony workers in line. And the other mages have turned paranoid of their own earth pony assistants and servers. I am thankful to have Clover.

'They scream 'freedom or death' others 'freedom and death to the horned and feathered monsters.' Their howls are joined by the creature. As if in a dream, many do not seem to notice their fellows being turned to prisoners of impossibly swift growing ice.

I took Clover and abandoned the mage refuge. I considered telling my fellows to do the same, but considering they were shouting 'defend our knowledge to the death and death to any who abandon their defense' I thought it more prudent to simply teleport away.

We had no pursuers. The regular merchants in the nearest towns have returned with tales of mounds of frozen corpses. And no sign of Them.'

Clover seems to have blocked out the memories of her life before coming to this new town with me. Perhaps she is better for it.

The unicorn king's court magician has died of old age and failed to train an apprentice. I need more resources for my research. I will not miss this chance. And should I pass on before my research is complete, I need to make sure Clover is in a position where she will be able to continue it.

I now have had time to think. The cold they produce. Are they spirits of winter? But would there not being spirits of spring, summer, and fall as well that should've driven them away? But I can still only think that winter is these spirits' natural state.

They seek out hatred, do they feed off it? Fighting as well? It is possible. Though it is hard to tell since I could not find one without the other anyway.

The intensity of the riots I see now looking over my own notes was directly related to the intensity of the storm. Does the amount of cold they produce relate directly to the amount of hate they feed off of? It also appears that the closer I became to Clover, the less I cared about her diluted blood, the more I became, not invisible, but less interesting I became to the creatures. This adds to my above theory.

It is in the wind they go. So I shall call them 'Windigos.'

We like is how Pinkie Pie is almost completely oblivious to insults even when said harshly HOWEVER! Then When you try to avoid her (for various reasons) She feels "Betrayed" and becomes "Ruthless."
Now, just for giggles We have the same propertys. We feel/are "Betrayed" We become "Ruthless." So We can really relate to Pinkie Pie HOWEVER Rainbow Dash is our favorite which is quite odd because if We met her in real life We'd most likely not like her for being arrogant. Odd, right. Has this happened to you?
Yes, yes We are bending the rules but it still fits in right We've read all your post and you all sound like George Carlin.

On-topic: Pinkie seems to have a split personality disorder of some sort, maybe the tiniest bit of autism, and quite a bit of ADHD.

Ponyvill hospital is also an institution for mentally ill patients!

in Read it and weep, Rainbow is chased by a security guard, a doctor, a nurse and.. a mentally ill patient? This blue pony, with a screw (get it?) as a cutiemark barks like a dog, and is afterwards told to "get back to the hospital!"

Conclusion? Ponies are well aware of insanity, and have institutions to treat(?) it... This is somewhat a reeeally creepy thought, since it's supposed to be a kids show  :I

Equestria is a Vault-Tec Vault Experiment gone wrong, and in the center of the Everfree Forest is the way out to the surface of AMERICA.
Luna, Celestia, and Discord are the three Overseers, and the vault's purpose was to test how humans would react to being turned into ponies and stuck into a drastically different world, with no apparent way out.
Discuss the probability.

Makes me want to be a subject.

and they seem cheerful enough.

as long as i wont suffer from experiments gone wrong ovO

oh, I mean within this particular experiment.  Equestria sure seems a fine vault to be in, and I wouldn't mind living the rest of my life there.  Especially with MAGIC :D

i would like to know how the magic works atleast! :]

Vault-Tec technology, duh.

DO WANT!

kinda do want :3
but i would really like to make magic all right! levitation, awesome.

telekinesis and teleporting, and being a PONY?  i'd live in a vault for the rest of my life for that :3

Lauren Faust's original art of Fluttershy:

The original concepts for the mane six are truly interesting.

You now have no idea about what the real heights of the ponies are due to cross-universe stuff probably being different.

Apparently Fluttershy is a sort of Fisher Queen with her cottage.  Just LOOK at how the entire environment changed within moments of her depression.

Twilight would win, she would just love and tolerate him and he would give up the fight because of her cute factor.  Which is all powerful lol

Maybe he's a brony who just wants to give her a hug  ^-^

She should move them back to the caves below and fight against Celestia. She kept everypony on a surface and watched her changelings feeding while Twilight relased Cadence - that's why she lost.

He only provided this service to Spike, it doesn't mean that he does it everyday(at least nopony said that nor he didn't this before).

Not sure if implication, but:
They're using three or more languages! English on "Welcome Princess Celest" banner, horsy-like writing(books in s1 ep1 and some more episodes) and swapped/mirrored/modified letters(ponyville confidental episode, newspaper letters)

It takes a large group of unicorns with a really high magic skill to do it its also very tiring thats why they left it to princess celestia.

Also princess cadence is needed she raises the twilight.

She literally raised Twilight as a foal.

It takes a large group of unicorns with a really high magic skill to do it its also very tiring thats why they left it to princess celestia.

Also princess cadence is needed she raises the twilight.

She literally raised Twilight as a foal.

only due to:

not being limited to royalty
not being completely overpowered and godlike
not being essentially worshiped by the local populace
acting as normal, everyday citizens.

creatures like Alicorns I consider less of a "race", or at least Mortal race, and more of "gods/demigods".  Celestia is the Mother Goddess, Embodiment of the Sun, and Luna is the Embodiment of the Moon.  Cadance was originally not supposed to be an alicorn, but since Hasbro ignored Faust I'll just call Her the Embodiment of Love.

You can still classify them as a race of gods who are leaders because of their powers.
Also acting as normal citizens?They both were rude to say the least.How does a normal citizen act according to you?

mortal <-> normal citizen
as far as has been shown, according to my personal definition.  well, aside from Twilight, who really pushes the boundary between demigod and normal.

[/quote]

That maybe so but one thing is to say what is a normal citizen and whole different thing is to say how the certain mortal/normal citizen acts.

Also if we exclude the option that Alicorns aren't a race we must assign them to the existing races.What will they be?Some sort of pegasus/unicorn hybrids i suppose.

[/quote]the seemingly official word is something like "winged unicorn".

"two unicorn princesses" - S1E1

QuoteDespite being called "unicorns" on the show and "Pegasus unicorns" online by Hasbro, storyboard artist Sabrina Alberghetti calls the princesses alicorns. The use of terms directly from the show supersedes other conventions.

Anyway we're way off-topic as it is so let's end this discussion.

implication: there must not be any orally transmitted diseases anywhere in Equestria...

If Celestia didn't intervene at the end of lesson zero, the entire population would've been charmed into wanting Smarty Pants and Equestria would  had destroy itself.

implication: the Love Poison, the Want It Need It spell, both bear a striking resemblance to...

Cadance's magic.

By this logic Celestia and Luna are chosen unicorns transfered by very powerful magic (probably many united unicorns performed this spell) to winged princesses or they were summoned by unicorns to rule them.

Take a look at a flag in Hearth's Warming Eve - There are two sisters which means they did one of these things(or they arrived from nowhere)

If a group of unicorns could create luna ,and celestia it makes their magic powerful enough to lift the sun ,and moon using only one unicorn so it can't be.

My theory is that alicorn is just a rare race that doesn't have to be immortal they aren't necessarily royalty or important like cadence was a foal-sitter alicorns are just a very very rare race that has the powers of all 3 other races.

Celestia and Luna were probably around during the time of the harsh winter, they just didn't take on a more direct role until they noticed a way to unify all three pony races into a well organized and peaceful nation.

So how dy'all know draconequus isn't just another race? :]

He isn't a regular creature.

Quote from: Princess CelestiaDiscord is the mischievious spirit of disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness. Luna and I saw how miserable life was for Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns alike, so after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers and rose up against him, turning him to stone.

He just came after all races became united. They had two sisters on their flag which means they knew Celestia and Luna before(acording to legend there were no ponies in Equestria before Hearth's Warming Eve). This can only mean Celestia and Luna risen from sun and moon or they were summoned by united races to protect them.

Alicorns could also appear before as windigoes to unite pony races as Book Smarts wrote, one got hit by character performed by Twilight Sparkle(in frozen cave), it could explain what happend to Chrysalis (also Cadence is younger than Celestia so she probably wasn't one of grouped windigoes)

Therefore, alicorns are not a race, qed

They did point it out but it keeps adding another layer to the whole series.

Star swirl the bearded and although they keep uncovering his history little by little Then the big one turns out he be in the equestria girls rainbow rocks putting the 3 music dragons into another dimension.  Hopefully in season 5 we uncover the mystery of this great elder star swirl the bearded.

They were sirens, not quite dragons. ^-^ Twilight called them sirens, when she was telling her friends about them and how Starswirl banished them.
Sirens are often depicted looking very similar to mermaids. They are women who live in the ocean and sing to put sailors under their spell. They often cause sailors to crash their ships.

I think this is why The Dazzlings' pony forms were like evil seaponies.
(http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/d/dd/Dazzling_sirens_flying_EG2.png/revision/latest?cb=20141029082310)
You can see here that they have fish tails, or mermaid tails if you like.

So do you think we are going to see more of sirens on season 5 or was it just the 3?

HYPE

I get the impression that the Sirens are unique, 3-of-a-kind monsters. Although they do bear some resemblance to sea ponies. Maybe they were sea ponies once, but found the gems which mutated and fused with their bodies? ovO

And I also notice the comment Discord makes about turning ponies to stone. He's a jerk, sure, but I get the impression he never killed or seriously harmed anypony. Which feeds into that whole "Tyrant Celestia" narrative. But then, that's just another reason those two are perfect for each other; Discord can learn manners from Cellie, and she can learn restraint from him. lol
