Spoiler: show

Alicorn Twilight is terrible. It doesn't matter why she turned it's still bad to make a character officially stronger than everyone else.

Spoiler: show

You make it sound like someone godmodded her into an alicorn and just made her OP. That is not what happened though.
She didn't gain any more strength from becoming an alicorn, she already had strength and through the magic of friendship she was able to make it happen. Apart from her getting wings and acknowledgement through her official title, she hasn't changed.
Twilight has come such a long way and has proven herself so many times. She's always been OP, in a good way.

Now, I bow before you, Princess Sparkle, may you lead S4 to many good episodes. If so, I shall declare you best pony.

Spoiler: show

So being able to do all  three abilities that normal people only have one of , and becoming a princess is somehow a "Good OP"? No I don't find it in anyway good character design.

Also me , and Jenzy skyped about it , and i'l just call myself "A brony who doesn't watch the new episodes" if they don't change it.

Spoiler: show

By "All three" abilities, I'm assuming that you mean both Unicorn, Pegasus AND earth pony, no? in that case, how was she ever able to perform Earth Pony abilities, other than trotting and galloping. I don't recall Twilight ever showing any Earth Pony skill set, but if my memory does serve me wrong, wouldn't she have been overpowering even before she grew her wings, seeing as she would already have two ability sets, per default, by being a unicorn?

Spoiler: show

That aside, I thought this was a great episode, it pulled a great tie to an ongoing story through all three seasons, first with Twilight getting the crown as her Element of Harmony, serving as a sort of leader for the mane 6, and ongoing, steady growth of character and ability. I believe she was, indeed, destined to create history in Magic, just like Celestia foresaw. She is, after all, also the only pony, whose cutiemark represents an undefined talent, Magic, where as all other ponies have specialized, very narrow, fields: Speed, Animal caring, partying and so on. Seeing this episode made it quite clear, that this has been the purpose, all along, to make Twilight grow, and teach her how to become, who she was meant to be: A Princess of her Magic, just like Celestia is Princess of the Sun and Day, Luna is Princess of The Moon and Night and Cadence is Princess of the (Crystal) Heart and Love.

Also, this also gave great knowledge of the Alicorn race: You become and Alicorn, when you become a Princess. I think Shining Armor is an exception, since he got married to the title. Here, in Denmark, our Queen married, before she was coronated, and her husband did not become king, but still referred to as 'Prince', because he married the Crown princess...

That was very long, I'm sorry. I really loved this episode, and I'm reeeeally looking forward to season 4!!

Also, mcsleuth.. I giggled

I thought the ending was a tad bit rushed, yes, but I wholeheartedly agree with Chiseo, that it was Love and not friendship, that saved them, which made it so great!

About Fake Cadence's meanness and rudeness, and Twilight being the only one to notice: Twilight was never a socialite before she came to Ponyville, and only really hung around her brother and Celestia. Cadence was her foalsitter, so we may assume, that they didn't spend much time in contact, once Twilight didn't need to be looked after anymore.

Shining already mentioned that Cadence was stressed out over the wedding. I mean, look at it, Cadence was about to get married, most girls' biggest day of their life, and she couldn't spend it in piece, preparing with her beloved, so of course she would be cranky. On top of that, a huge threat had been made against her home, right up to her wedding! I would have gone all-out-bridezilla mode, if I couldn't be the center of attention on my own wedding day  I think that is what everypony else, but Twi, is assuming. Again, referring to Twi not really having experienced a lot of other Ponies under pressure, who'd be sad or hurt about something so important to them. So, seeing things from the other's point of view, I can understand, why they would think Twi was overreacting to much.

It would really sadden me, of old enemies were recycled.. At least, if not done properly. Chrysalis were sorta just, thrown out, so it could be.. Sombre, I don't know, the same villain twice in one season, I just can't imagine that..

But~!

Spoiler: show

With the new toy, the pink baby alicorn, whom have been speculated to be the daughter of Cadence and Shining, wouldn't she be tying the Crystal Empire and Equestria together? Maybe they need to use some sort of strong magic to protect her?

I'm really excited to see where they are taking this

It has already been blatantly stated that Twilight is a special unicorn in soo many ways, and that Celestia knows that. She was entrusted with re-uniting the elements, she's Celestia's personal student, her special talent IS magic as a whole, not just a branch of it, she can copy spells after having just seen them and lastly, but most importantly, to me, in the opening of season 3, where Celestia is explaining the test, Twilight's cutiemark, which also happens to be the mark of magic, is shown glowing behind her, similar to Celestia and Luna's marks of Sung and Moon. Oh, one more thing, Lune conjures a book with the mark of Magic at the end of part two.

I'm guessing, they are using Twilight to study magic, since Twilight seems to be the embodiment of magic itself. Should this happen that she suddenly

Spoiler: show

spawned wings, and thus became an alicorn, even temporarily

I don't see her gained more power, as she is already really high up there. Having another ability

Spoiler: show

in this case, to fly

doesn't make her on par with Celestia. I do hope, that if it happens, it's only temporarily, as it would obstruct the balance of races between the six elements, but I don't understand why it would make her "overpowered" or anything like that.. Just my two bits, though..

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Season 3 purpose?

2013 Jan 22, 11:19:11

Okay, so I came to think about this, when rewatching the episodes of season 3. to me, it seems like Celestia is gathering more power and forces. First, the ponies of the Crystal Empire, which she states holds great magic, that affects all of Equestrai with good. Next, she is reaching out to the inhabitants of Saddle Arabia, whom she invites to Ponyville. Latest is Discord, and it has already been mentioned that there may be more in awakening him, than just an act of kindness, and I think maybe it is another powerful ally, she has rounded up.

I think this could lead up to an epic conclusion of season 3, maybe it also has to do with the Alicorn-ation of Twilight. That must be some foe they're going to face, if they need so many powerful allies..

What do ya'll think?

So, because I'm a slowpoke, I only just watched the latest ep. 9. But Dear Luna, was it great!! I'm the kind of pony, who loves lore and stories to things, so to get to know more about the Timberwolves was really great! Spike having a dragon code was pretty cool, it shows that he still gives his heritage a lot of thinking, even after the Dragon Migration episode in season 2. Also, the episode had a BROHOOF!! How cool is that?!

Majesty! Although I don't think she ever made it to an animated episode (please correct me, if I'm wrong) she appeared in a lot of comics She was the main reason I came to love unicorns, and she was so wise  That was, of course, before the ponies lost Dreamcastle to the smooze 

Oh, and Powder! She was a minor character in most comics and shows, but one of my very first toys, and came to be my favorite I also love her color scheme, it's almost the same as Twilight Sparkle's safe for white hair, where Twilight's is blue

I've seen a theory pointed out suggesting that Alicorns may be artificially possible due to a spell similar to the one that gave rarity wings, except only the highest level magic users can use it (a scaled difficulty to cast similar to how it was hard for twilight to cast the butterfly wing spell, but even higher up).

Yeh, I've seen that theory to, or at least, one similar. Which actually made me wonder, if one have to be an Alicorn to be royal, or if one have to be royal to be an Alicorn...? if that even makes sense   

It's probably true, that it was directed towards Twilight, but that honestly makes me a bit iffy. S. 2 premiere could easily be a stand-alone episode, since discord was never really mentioned again, and I would really hate to see this whole 'new level' for Twilight only be mentioned in this one episode. And all the Crystal Empire story is really exciting to, so I truly hope they will follow up on it!

If one looks more logically and genetically on the Twilight-as-an-Alicorn, it doesn't make sense.. Rarity getting her butterfly wings is fair, it was an extremely hard spell to work, and the wings were made of actual components, morning dew and, what-was-it-again? For a unicorn to grow pegasus wings all of a sudden, wouldn't that have to change her entire body structure? Pegasi are a lot lighter than earth-bound ponies, seeing as they can work their wings and walk on clouds, that makes me think they might have hollow bones, like birds do.. Aaaaanypony, sorry to go all science here, I can't help to be really into the science of MLP, so much fun... But to make it simple, I don't think it's possible to change the entire species of a pony, not even for an Alicorn, I think that would be leading to a lot of newborn foals to have their features changed to match their parents, no?  (I'm thinking the Cake twins here  )... But that's just my two bits..

Also, about the season premiere of s.3, I can't help but think, that maybe Celstia and Luna were referring to Cadence, when they mentioned about 'her being ready to go to the next level', I.E, getting her ready to rule a kingdom, maybe her going to rebuild the Crystal Empire with Shining? The Crystal ponies did point Cadence out to be 'The Crystal Princess', when the crystal heart took effect, so the idea of her being daughter of the royal crystal family isn't that farfetched to me.

according to pony history (I.E heartswarming eve episode) the unicorns were more sophisticated than the rest.. maybe it's only their culture that wears jewelry in general.. the earthponies were farmers and the pegasi were warriors, both fields sort of makes it hard to wear jewelry  just a thought though

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Re: Season 3 cut short

2012 Jul 12, 14:27:52

Well, if popular shows such as Dragon Ball Z hit 9 seasons,
then I'm certain that My Little Pony should go for at least
a couple more seasons.

Dragon Ball Z was based on a manga series, though.. they had something that dictated the content.. although, the cartoon was rather... drawn out.. "I'mma power up!" *whooooaaa~* *next episode* "haaaa~" *next episode* "AAAAAHH~" *ending of next episode* "AARGH!! *fires something siezure-causing, blinking, super-laZ0rs*

so yea.. MLP:FIM is free-reined, it's basically up to the developers to decide, what they put into the series..

About Rarity's "greed" for gems, may I remind you all that finding gems is her special talent? Of course she will appreaciate gems, when her cutiemark represents gems..

The dress Rarity DID make for Twilight's birthday in the episode "Sweet and Elite" turned out to be a pretty and simple dress which Twilight loved.

Rarity hasn't been greedy around Spike, he simply bends around her hoof because he likes her.

I will say that she did break her generousity in A Canterlot Wedding, with the brides bouquet  and I suppose letting all the attention get to her head in Sonic Rainboom could be breaking her element to..

Meh, to me, Rarity is still best pony  (personal opinion, please don't take it negatively)

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Re: What would you like to see in Season 3?

2012 Jul 06, 20:07:52

An episode on death and dealing with it, whether a pet or a random animal or even a character.  It's a difficult topic, but I think children can not only handle it, they should be exposed to it in order to help them cope with it early on.

Despite how sad an episode like that would be, I have to agree with you on that one. Something like that would not only teach children to deal with death, but it would also add an interesting plot twist to the show.

It may seem like a good topic, but it wouldn't seem right once on air though. Look at the shows Tara Strong did, like Powerpuff Girls or The Kids Next Door, at the most they we're either captured or in huge trouble, but no death. Something like death shouldn't really be introduced to a show with a audience with the age of 5+. If they wanted to introduce death to a cartoon and make it feel normal for any show, they should of done that a long time ago.

Well, there are Disney cartoon movies that have death in them, though.

The Lion King - Simba's dad dies, and it's implied that Scar gets eaten alive by hyenas
Tarzan - The whole plot is due to Tarzan being orphaned by a jaguar. At the end, you see the silhouette of the bad guy having been hanged by vines
The Princess and the Frog -

Spoiler: show

Sometime during the timeskip from the main character's childhood and "present day", her father died. The bad guy gets dragged into hell, and the main characters' lightning bug friend got stomped on by the bad guy and dies. They even have a funeral for the bug

Mulan - Chang discovers that his father died on a battlefield, and I'm pretty sure the villain dies at the end

Yeah, but these are movies. If someone ever died on the show, we'd have to live on with it for seasons to come.
P.S. I did cry when the father died in The Lion King this movie is one of my favorites.

would it be a bad thing for the show if they had an orphan story?

Like Land Before Time with Littlefoot's mother, episode 1

While I think the idea is great and educational, I think an orphan would create a character, that children will get attached  to, similar to CMC and so on, and I'm not sure if they want to create another secondary main char..

Lyra Heartstrings, one of our favorite (at least, my favorite) background unicorn is apparently as talented in magic, as our very own Twilight Sparkle!! 

At least, she also knows the spell, that will make earth-bound ponies walk on clouds!! She attended the Best Young Flier competition in S1ep16 "Sonic Rainboom"

Pretty sure that spell is canon. Didn't Twilight use it in episode 16?

I think he's talking about stuff like Lilpip's *make the non-pegasi fly* spell

but cloud-walking is canonical enough.

Pardon me, but what does "canon" mean? Been reading it so many places, but it doesn't really make sense when Ican't understand the word
