Things I do not understand in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Blessings from Equestria to you all and Welcome to my 2nd Blog where I take a look back through the series, find those moments that had my head scratching and talk about it because...Well Why not its something to discuss right?

 

Now I am sure you guys will probably know the answers to these and I welcome you educating me on the said subjects but please remember even if it is really obvious does not mean I should know the answer and does not mean I am stupid for not knowing the answers myself - It just means you are more knowledgeable about the Show than I am and I am not ashamed to admit that.

 

I am also aware that some of what I will question may not be completely correct and I may have been misinformed about it but again that is just a simple mistake in the information that I received and can be easily rectified with a simple correction... I am not perfect as you can guess by this introduction to my blog.

 

But without anymore delays how about we begin

 

The Cutie Mark Crusaders first met at Diamond Tiara Party...Or Did They?

 

At the End of Episode 12, Season 1 we are introduced to the three fillies who would become the popular trio known as The Cutie Mark Crusaders (or CMC for short) and the whole build up was that these three didn't know each other nor had they seemingly met before that day... Yet that is not the truth because they did know each other right from the beginning.

This is a image of Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo all hiding (Under a table it seems) when the evil Nightmare Moon arrived in Ponyville all the way back in the very first episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic...So how come these three acted like they were complete strangers with something in common almost 12 episodes later? Are they implying that the three dove under the same table, waited for the threat to disappear and then all walked away from each other without even a word to each other?

 

Is Princess Celestia becoming forgetful in her wise age?

 

This one might be one where the information I heard was not completely correct but for now let us assume that it was correct, At the start of the latest season (Season 6) we are introduced to Shining Armor and Princess Cadance new baby Flurry Heart and during the episode Princess Celestia announces that she has never seen nor heard of an Alicorn being born...which would be ok if it was not for the fact I later heard that a certain someone else was also born a alicorn...

Yep...Princess Luna was said to have also been born as an Alicorn.
How did Celestia forget that little bit of information? I mean I might forgive not being there for the birth since she was young too but she knew about it very early so she had heard of a Alicorn birth...But as I said this might be something I was misinformed on so please correct me if that is the case.

 

Where is Sunset Shimmer?

Going from My Little Pony to Equestria girls next and one slight question that plagued me for all three movie...Where exactly is Sunset Shimmer? No No I don't mean the antagonist turned protagonist from Equestria but the "Other Sunset".

 

It is clear that there is a human version of pretty much every pony from Equestria in the movie expect for Sunset Shimmer which begs the question - Where is their world Sunset gone? Unless they are trying to say that Sunset originated from the Human World, found the portal, Turned into a Pony, Tried to learn Magic from Celestia, Got annoyed at the pace of the lessons and went Rogue hoping to get a chance to return "Home" then clearly there is a missing person in their world.

 

Where is the Episode for Cadance "Coming of Age"?

 

Not really a mistake in the series but more a why not
I know Cadance was not born an Alicorn princess but she did something some amazing for her homeland that she was transformed into one and adopted by Celestia as her niece and that is all well and good but...Where is the episode about this incredible moment? I mean lets be honest I for one would love to see an episode showing the incredible moment that a young Cadance did something some incredible she was made a Princess.

 

I mean it is kind of swept under a rug but if Twilight Sparkle can essentially become a Princess because she was able to finish a spell that Star Swirl could not then surely knowing that Cadance SAVED HER HOMETOWN to become one is a story worth hearing about right?

 

Was Pinkie Pie Adopted?

Finally this one is one that I have been questioning for a while ever since I originally saw the Pie Family - Was Pinkamena Diane Pie Adopted by the family? I am not going to speculate as to why she would be put up for adoption however you look at the rest of the family with the bland greys and what not and you suddenly start to feel like something is a miss.

 

Now I am not suggesting there is anything wrong, they look like they love each other very much and Pinkie absolutely adores them even if she makes them seem more exciting than they really are (Case in Point Maud Pie) but it just makes me wonder how come she had a different thought process to the rest of the family...Why did that Sonic Rainboom inspire her but not her other "Sisters"? is she aware she is adopted and accepted she would be different to the rest of the family?

 

Anyways that will do for this blog, I hope it was an entertaining read for you all and I hope you will respond favourably to it :)

 

Take Care and Blessings to you all

Actually, according to Amy Keating Rogers (and more or less backed by the staff), Celestia and Luna were both born Alicorns sometime a good bit before Equestria's founding, but eventually just forgot about the matter entirely as they got distracted by their duties.

 

Or something to that effect.

The CMC might have met before (likely, they are all in the same class at school) and by chance huddled under the same table in the first episode, but they didn't become actual friends until Call of the Cutie. Apple Bloom didn't really mind or notice being a blank flank until DT started to tease her, so that sort of explains why she didn't realize that Scoots and Sweetie were in the same boat, even if one accepts that they knew each other to a degree.

 

As AV points out, when the Royal Sisters were born, Equestria didn't even exist as a county, so "no alicorns born in Equestria" is technically true, just a little ambiguous.

 

I'm sure the human version of Sunset Shimmer is around somewhere. SciTwi wasn't at the same school as the rest of the human Mane Six (Five?), so we know that the "twins" don't necessarily need to be in the same area. Maybe she'll turn up in the fourth movie.

 

For Cadance's ascension, maybe they're saving that story for a later episode... Although, I personally don't need to see it, and it would essentially be retreading the same ground as Magical Mystery Cure, with a relatively flat character in the lead. Maybe show it as part of another story featuring Twilight, but not an episode on its own.

 

Who knows if Pinkie was adopted? There hasn't really been any indication of it, so I'd say probably not. As for why her sisters weren't inspired by the Sonic Rainboom, only she was outside to witness it. The other two sisters sans Maud (who was "away at the time" - read that as "not thought of yet") went inside the house right before it happened.

You make a lot of good points.

 

The Cutie Mark Crusaders first met at Diamond Tiara Party...Or Did They?

- It does seem like a continuity error, though I suppose the counter-argument would be what SolarFox said; that they had met before but never introduced each other. Like you said though, "Call of the Cutie" does seem to imply that they had never met before.

 

Is Princess Celestia becoming forgetful in her wise age?

- It was stated in the Journal of Two Sisters that Celestia & Luna were born alicorns, so the show claiming that they weren't is indeed a contradiction. However, an argument could be made that the show's version of events is canon over the Journal, therefor retconning the Journal's version of events.

 

Where is Sunset Shimmer?

- Good question, I have no idea. I feel like the writers should have addressed her "human world" counterpart.

 

Where is the Episode for Cadance "Coming of Age"?

I have always wondered this too, and its one of the reasons I've never been a big fan of Cadance's character. She was sorta just rushed into the picture for the sake of having a wedding episode. How did she become an alicorn? How did Celestia & Luna become alicorns for that matter?

 

Was Pinkie Pie Adopted?

I can see why it would appear that Pinkie Pie was adopted. While no FiM media has made this claim, it isn't impossible. She's drastically different in essentially every aspect from the rest of her apparent family. Hmm, I wonder if there's any fan fiction which covers that idea?
