The Stranger

I understand why you feel the way you do but I think you're looking into this way to much. People will be people and if you can't deal with it yes you will leave not just this forum but many others. If you're a fan of MLP then that's all that matters. Keep watching the show the forum is just a collection place for people to mingle nothing more. If you're bord of this place and/or MLP you know what to do.

To me the show is deeper then most people realize. It's not just a simple cartoon. Here are my reasons why I like the show so much: - Each character is unique to him or herself. Every pony's personality is different and original so no pony gets boring to watch or listen to. - Each episode is a story in itself. You'll never run into an episode that has been done so many times before. Each episode is a new story so i look forward to each one every time. - The character dialogue in the show is fresh and original. Listening to what each character has to say never gets old. To add to that the voice actors of each character are fun to listen to. - Character design is always unique and original. Every pony looks appealing.

Warning: This entire theory is based on speculation and belief. What I write here can be true or false. It's also a long read so if you aren't an egghead turn back! --- I tend to get philosophical about things, even things like MLP. Not too long ago on a different forum, I had created a thread called: "She's a lie I tell you!" which was a list stating reasons as to why I think Princess Celestia is secretly a tyrant (obviously not true). The list was a hit and everyone had something to say. I'm considering sharing this list here on the MLP forums as well but first I wanted to discuss another topic. Back in the day (lol) during season one, an episode named "Friendship Is Magic, part 2" aired on the Hub channel. During this episode their was this moment when Rainbow Dash crossed a crevasse to fix a rope bridge that had broken in the Everfree Forest. When she flew to the other side a great fog engulfed her and she was separated from her friends. During this moment three masked ponies who called themselves the "Shadowbolts" appeared as if out of nowhere and approached Rainbow Dash in hopes of getting her to join their team. What puzzles me is where did these three ponies come from? I found it very odd how they just appeared the way they did. Also, how did they know where she'd be in the Everfree Forest? I just kept getting more and more confused? I then wondered if the Shadowbolts were even real. Out in the MLP community a lot of ponies think the Shadowbolts are real in the MLP world, others think they where just an illusion. --- Here's what I think about the Shadowbolts: The Shadowbolts aren't actually real. During that moment when Rainbow Dash encountered them they where actually a display of Nightmare Moon's powerful magic. I believe Nightmare Moon created them with her magic to trick Rainbow Dash into abandoning her friends. To be even more clear I think Nightmare Moon was trying to separate Rainbow Dash from her element of harmony which was Loyalty. By doing so Rainbow Dash would leave her friends behind and they'd be lost forever. Luckily Rainbow Dash's loyalty was too strong so she refused. At that moment the Shadowbolts disappeared into the fog like a group of specters (Creepy). So yeah, I think it was all a magic trick. --- So what do you ponies think? Do you agree with me or do you believe the Shadowbolts exist somewhere in space and time? If you think they do exist please explain in detail.
